No Sin for the Priest but sacrilege for the
 Laywoman.

New York, July 5th.-The He raids cable telegram has the fol- lowing additional details regard ing the Rome scandal: The suit of Countess Lambertini, which commenced in the Civil Tribunal yesterday, Is causing great deal of comment, especially among the Italian aristocracy. The Countess has been recognized for years as the natural daughter of the late Cardinal Antonelli. AS such she has been received in society, and as such she was always treated by the Cardinal. Finding that no provision was made for her in the Cardinals will, she has instituted this suit in the Civil Tribunal, which bids fair to become cause celebre. demanding her full share of the enormous estate which the Cardinal bequeathed 10 others. Antonelli's heirs oppose her claim, because they allege the Countess is a sacriligious daughter and that the act of her mother was sa- criIege. her father at the time of cohabitation being in holy orders.

BellicOSe DOIph.

Hon. j. N. Dolph, usually so good
natured aid dignifed, has, during the
political complications developed bull
dosing disposition, which seems to be
new trait of character with him. When
testifying before the Congressional
Committee on the Oregon investigation,
he is reported as saying he would have
taken the certificates from Cronin by
force. In the New York World of
January 18th, appears the following
item:
"Mr. Dolph, Portland (Or.) lawyer
and a prominent Republican, was re-
called, and testified that Mr.. Chadwick
did not enter the room a single step
when he handed Cronin the electoral
certificates, and he was quite sure that
Mr.. Chadwick called Cronin's name.
He had pistol on his person on the
day of the meeting ef the college. He
told Secretary Chadwick that day that
the proceedings of the Cronin college
were a gross outrage, and that the peo-
pie of the State ought never to allow
the governor to leave the State alive"
This is from a Democratic source,
and as Mr.. Dolph is a Republican, the
statements may be lacking in truth.
Enough is true, however, to warrant
the conclusion that Mr.. Dolph is Sc
verelY in earnest in his political senti-
ments. While in these matters he may
lack good judgment, we can not help
admiring the man for his fearless and
energetic devotion to what, no doubt,
he conscientiously believes to be the
truth. OF the Bob Ingersoll order of
men he i. strong, bold and impetuous,
in whose vocabulary the word "com-
promise" is forever left out.

Rev. p. S. Knight intimated in his
lecture on the above theme of the regu-
lar course that, out in the fields of life,
and within the Great Workshop he had
talked about on the previous Sabbath,
there is a conflict, in which every think
ing being is an actor. He had no de-
sire to render his thoughts pleasing to
the fancy, for Establishment is not the
substance of thought, and would put no
brass buttons on the garments with
which he clothed his facts. The speak
er wanted the youth to know that every
step they took in life was against op-
position. He said that there was as
much true heroism displayed in the
sacrifices of life as is manifested on the
battle field of nations, and he believed
that the man who is truly brave ap-
preciates the danger he has to meet.
His limbs may culver, and his cheek
blanch, nevertheless, a brave man
marches up to the cannons mouth. Has
no patience with that bravery which
is noisy, but has great confidence in ST.
lent fortitude. 1t is necessary for the
youth to become disciplined, for AN
army to be available for battle, must be
drilled, so as to be able to concentrate
its force. He knew drill was mono
tonous, but the soldier who knows his
duty and does it well Is one who had
been drilled in the use of his weapons
of warfare. The speaker slashed his
finely tempered intellectual blade right
and left, with master hand, and dis
played no hesitation in cutting through
sophistry. He showed that he knew
just where and when to fash ont his
logic. Facts grew eloquent under his
touch, and the audience was breathless
with interest. As the speaker made his
pauses, the ticking of the clock showed
the profound attention paId to his re-
marks, s,-.Sdlem Statesman

Our First Gray Hair.
BY WALTER C. HOwDEN.

As the first big pattering drops that fall
With splash on our lattice pane
Make us shver and start as they warn us all
OF a storm or of coming rain:
SO is it with life when we're growing old
And age steals on unaware
We shiver and start if the truth were told,
At the sight of our first gray hair.
We mark not the light of the MONDAY hours
Like the first streaks the dawn doth bring
We hail not the birth Of the summer flowers
As we do the first snow-drop of spring;
On the bleak winter wind we look not with
grief,
Though it howl through the branches bare,
But we sigh when we witness the brown au-
tnmn leaf,
And behold Natures first gray hair.
Gray hairs may come when the beaming eye
Has none of its brightness lost;
When with buoyant heart we would fain deny
Youths Rubicon had been crossed
Bnt the iyy-clad tree looks young and green,
Though a sapless trunk be there,
And nought of decay on our cheek may be
seen
When we witness our first gray hair
O, noble crown to noble life
Is head of silvery gray,
And It's well if, tired with the struggle and
strife,
1t finds rest at the close OF day.
But gray headed sin is a crownlcss curse,
And the parent OF dark despair,
And it gives us pang, O, doubly worse,
Than the sight of a first gray hair.
Come early, come late, like aknock at the gate
Is that first soft, silvery thread,
And it joins with its silence the years that wait
With the years forever fled;
1t silently tells Us we're journeying on;
1t silently ques tiOns uS--Where?
o, faithful milestone were the truth but
known,
Is seen in our first gray hair.

Letter From Eastern Oregon.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
Perhaps few words from this remote
part Of Oregon may not be uninterest-
ing to the readers of the INDEPENDENT.
In that light, we send few jottings
of our trip.
Leaving Vancouver the morning of
Dec. 18th, ulto., on the One0ntu, we
had not proceeded far up the river, be-
fore the dense fog began to clear away,
and soon the sun was shining as bright
y as on a spring morning; thus we
were able to get fine view of the
scenery along the river; and those wto
have been up the Columbia, know
something of the grandeur which every
where greets the eye of an observaut
traveller. The steamer reached the
lower Cascades earlier than usual, but
owing to the large amount of freight
we were detained some time. As we
were making the portage, we had a
good view of the wrecked steamer Daisy
Ainsworth fast on large rock; only
the hull remains, as everything of any
worth has been taken out, and she is
left to the mercy of the roaring torrent.
1t was afternoon before the steamer
had received all the freight, and was
again on her way; consequently it was
after =. NJ, before we landed at The
Dalles. The only coach was soon
filled with passengers, and a few min
utes drive brought us to the Umatilla
House. We hoped to be able to con-
tinue our journey the next morning,
but, alas for human expectations; we
were doomed to spend two nights and
day in The Dalles. As the boat had
not been able to get down on account
of the fog. At an early hour Friday
morning, We were aroused from our
dreams by the warning call, "Time for
the cars" Comfortably seated on the
train, we were just disposing ourselves
for nap. when glancing up we met
the smiling face of our fellow towns
men Capt. Jas. Troup, offering him the
seat by our side we were soon chatting
busily about matters at Vancouver.
The ride to Cello was short and
pleasant one; the fog was too heavy to
allow of any sight seeing. We were
soon ensconced on the boat that was to
take us to Umatilla, aud again the fog
prevented us from reaching the latter
place till Saturday noon. Capt. Troup

amcou0er Washimgom zerritoy Friday February

entertained us with some fine music on
his organ, and did everything possible
to entertain and please his passengers
during the evening. There were sew
eral hours at our disposal before the
stage would start. A few shabby look
ing buildings are to be seen, and alto
gether, the town looks more like a de-
serted fort on a sand-hill, than q Ire
town. At 4:3O z. M. all were seated
in the stage ready for a nights ride; the
tiresomeness of stage trip was re-
lieved by the novelty, as it was our
first experience of staging. We jolted
along all night, and at 3 A. NJ, Sunday
Morning, reached Cayuse Station, at
the foot Of the Blue Mountains, where
we stopped for breakfast; after partak-
ing of very uninviting meal, we were
again in the stage ready to begin the
ascent of the mountains. For several
miles we made but slow progress, zen
with three span of horses, the roads
being slippery with ice, and in some
places quite steep. The morning was
a glorious one; and as the sun rose over
the distant mountains it lit up the dark
crags and tall pines with a gorgeous
light. The air was clear and bracing;
travelling all day outside with the
driver, we enjoyed very much the va
riety and beauty of the scenery, and
shalt not soon forget our trip across the
Blue Mountains. Just at dusk we
came into the Grand Ronde valley, a
lovely little vale, surrounded by noun
tains and dotted here and there with
neat looking farm-houses, giving it q
quiet home-like appearance. As the
stage stopped over night at La Grandt
we enjoyed the pleasure of looking
around the town little, and spending
the night with our esteemed teacher
Mrs. Hines, Mr.. Hines had not yet
returned from the East, whittier he had
gone some time before our arrival. Ii
is here that the Blue Mountain Uni.
versity is located; we had not the pleas.
ure of looking through the spacious
building, so can only speak from out
side appearances; it can be seen fol
many miles before reaching La Grande
and presents an imposing view as the
stage comes in.
Long before day break we were in
the stage, and OH our way again. This
last day of our journey was much like
preceding days, only the country
through which we passed was more lev
ell; the wind blew quite hard part of the
day, and the roads were dry and dusty.
We had no snow on the entire trip; and
old residents here say it is the mildes,
winter for a number of years.
We are highly pleased with our sihI-
alton here in every respect. and may at
some future time tell you something Of
Baker City and our impressions of the
place. Till then, we will bid you adieu

Post Office, from Olympia. w. T., a
roundish package, which contained a
large pototo. 1t had been cut in two.
and the inside scooped ont, and in the
cavity were found flowers aud leaves,
which, as he learned by note previous

garden in the open air on the goth day
OF December. The flowers, pansies,
geraniums, and others were fresh and
bright, althoughiheir journey across the

The recent terrible disaster in India,
which can only happen to countries sit
uated IN tropical climes is fearful. First,
a cyclone swept over a portion of the
land, tearing everything in pieces by
its fury, and killing over 100000 of
the population. This was followed by
a huge storm wave which totally sub
merged three large, and numerous
smaller islands, to the depth of twenty
feet, in some instances, drowning people
and cattle in great numbers. Out of
100000 population, only about 10000
escaped. About the only thing left up
OH the islands were some coconut and
palm trees. The putrefying bodies
sent up such stencil that it produced
cholera among the survivors, and this,
added to a famine which prevailed,
completed the sum t;al of horrors.
The government is making every effort
to relieve the survivors. No such ca
lamity has been known in modern times.

COWardiy Assaults.

WHEN candidate for high Office is
SO we'll liked and so popular with the
masses as to make his defeat difficult in g.
fair and honorable fight, mean and cowardly
men are not wanting who delight in manu-
featuring lies and slandering his good
name. There are also those whose selfish
ness prompt them to prostitute their honor
pervert truth, and ignore right, for the sake
of in uring competitor in business, wh ose
prosperity they envy, and with whose bust
ness sagacity they have not the talent to
successfully compete in IN honorable way
These thoughts are suggested by the mean,
cowardly attacks made upon me and my
medicines, by those who imagine their Pc
cuniary prospects injured by toe great pop
ularity which my standard medicines have
acquired, aud the continued growth of my
professional practice Narrow minded prae
titioners Of medicine, and manufacturers of
preparations which do not possess suffice ent
merit to successfully compete for popular
favor, have resorted to such cowardly
strategy as to publish all sorts of ridiculous
reports about the composition of my medi-
cines. Almanacs, Receipt Books" and 9th
er pamphlets, are issued and scat cred broad
cast over the land, wherein these contemp-
tible knaves publish pretended analyses of
my medicines and receipts for making
them. Some Of these publications are given
high sounding Names pretend to be issued
by respectable men Of education and posi-
ton, for the good of the people-the more
completely to blind the reader to the real
object in their circulation, which is to injure
the sale of my medicines. 1.-The Popular
Health Almanac" is the high-sounding
name of one of these publications, which
contains bogus receipts without grain of
truth in them. Not less devoid of truth are
those which have been published by one
DR.. L., of Detroit, IN the Michigan Farmer,
and by other manufacturers OF medicines,
in several so-called journals of Pharmacy.
They are all prompted by jealousy and ut
terly fail in accomplishing the obi sct OF
their authors, for, notwithstanding their free
circulation, my medicines continue to sell
more largely than any others manufactured
in this country, and are constantly increas-
ing in sale despite the base lies concocted
and circulated by such knaves. The people
find that these medicines possess genuine
merit, accomplish what their manufacturer
claims for them, and are not the vile pois-
onous nostrums which jealous and narrow
minded physicians and sneaking COM
Founders of competing medicines represent
them to be. Among the large number of
pretended analysis published, tits 8 sig,aif-
cant fact that no two hs We been at all alike
conclusively proving tue dishonesty OF their
authors. It is enough for the people to
know that while thousands yes l may
trutbfully say millions, have taken my med
icines and have been cured, no one has ever
received injury from their use.

IN DARKNESS.
BY CELIA THAXTER,

Cold sail, against the evening gray
Departing down the worlds dim slope;
Pale ghost, thou seem to bear away
My every joy, my every hope.
What thoughts are these? What pallid brood
OF phantoms from the past emerge?
Is this the world that seemed no good
Brimming with joy from verge to verge?
Was morning only fair to mock
The bitterness of after years.
While Fate was waiting to unlock
The unsupported fount of tears?
Cold the gray sky and cold the sail
That fades into the distance cold;
The level sea lies cold and pale,
And sorrow as the world is old.
Yea, sorrow as the world is old.
But 10! along the sullen gloom
Steal broken gleame of ruddy gold
That far the painless waste illumes
Jove's planet up the darkness swings.
Oh! happy light from heaven that pours
Across the bitter Brine and brings
glimmer to the hopeless shores.
Touch me, and let me climb by thee,
That may find above the pain
Of these dark hours my peace, end see
My heights of heavenly JOY again.
