THE DANCE OF DEATH. By William Her
men. San Francisco, Henry Keller & Co,
543 Clay Street. 1877.
Anyone who has read Byron's bitter phil
lipic against the Waltz in his poem so named,
will understand the nature and drift, if not
the purpose of this book 1t takes thief to
catch a thief, says the old saw, and it takes a
hbertine to detect the fountains and facts of
such iiquities and dalliances as this book
deals with. The Devil is your most effective
railler against sin. Bogart of the Stock Re
port says that Bierce of the Argonaut is the
real author of the book-or, if not the author
the Trainer Ii this work OF the detectives
could reach silly and DER coniiding parents
and guardians, only, and by them be accepted
and acted on as warning-tO take closer
overlooking of their children, it might, per-
haps, do some good but it is far too sugges-
tive for any young woman to read-which,
We are afraid will only advertise it too effect
ually in quarters where it should not find Pc
rusal This little book is well printed, on
tinted paper and is fairly bound in green
cloth

THE GROVER INVESTIGATING COM
MISSION

The Investigating Commission on Friday
examined W. H. n. Stiles, for several hours.
HE testified to being Secretary of the Salem
Tildcn and Hendricks Club III 1876, and was
clerk of the State Building Committee of the
last legislature and was i'll favor of Grover
for Senator. Saw him about midnight of the
day before the election talking with Gilfry at
Chemetka Hotel, in Salem; heard Grover ask
if Goodman could be depended upon for the
next day. Gllfry answered Yes, but 1t
will cost 81 900. Grover answered. Good
if We don't succeed on the first ballot to-
morrow We are lost" All this was i'll low
voice; know MOsier; and saw him in Gilfrey' S
office after the senatorial election; saw Mosier
come out of the Governors office; he had
some money in his hand; he counted the
amount, $50; do not know who was in the
Governors office; heard talking going on in
the office of the Governor while Mosier was
i'll there, and after Gilfry may have come
into the Governors office from an outside
door After that had a talk with Palmer,
of Benton, asked him what the people of
Benton county would say about his voting for
Grover; in answer, he said, II don't care
d-n what they say; have got a better thing;
| am going to move to Salem after that he
told me me was going to take charge of the
penitentiary. Gilfry told me that they would
have had that vote if it cost 81 900. This
was Immediately after ] heard the CONVEX
sation between Grover and Gilfry, about
Goodman.

CORRECTIONS VS.. AFFECTIoNs.-Sa Says the
candied editor of the Austin Reveille in an
swer to correspondent
lady correspondent writes to ask us if we
do not think it the part of strict etiquette for
a gentleman to pay the express charges on
packages of candy he sends a lady, until such
time as he assumes the right to establish for
her household fund Wemust emphatically
answer, eyes, we do think the gentleman is
in honor bound to pay the charges" In this
country, where express charges in many in
stances exceed the value of the article sent,
the man who sends woman package of
candy without himself paying the charges, is
Z wretch, whom 'twere gross hattery to call
galoot.

TROUBLE BREEDS TROUBLE as anyone may
see by reading the following from the Reno
Gazette of Monday:
Maj. S. A. Mann is now lying sick with
the erysipelas at Winnemucca. He sends
word to Mr.. Comstock, County Clerk, that
the Board of Commissioners of Humboldt
county will not allow all the claims of Washoe
county in the Rover trial Washoe tried
Rover twice for 1868 80, while it cost
Humboldt more than twice that amount to
conduct his first trial. If the claims of
Washoe are not allowed, suit will be insti-
tuted to recover said amounts. The Board
will probably reconsider their action and pay
their just debts. The Major will give full
particulars on his return.

LET HAYES REFUND.-The Instructions to
Government employees to abstain from inter
ference in politics has caused CONSERVATION and
indignation in the Republican ranks in this
city. Last fall there was great scarcity of
money among the Republicans, who were
working hard for Hayes and Wheeler, and
many of the leaders contributed literally.
Some gave $50, 500, $500, 81 900, and one
gave $4,000 to the canvas. Now, if all that
was wrong, there is an easy way out of the
difficulty Let the President and his Cabinet
and MIR. Stanley Matthews refund Perhaps
Mr. Don Cameron would refuse to be REIN
bursed his $4,000, but we know many who
would gladly take their contribution back

Among the officers on the Grand Dukes
staff is tall handsome man with 1.-THE, slen-
der active figure, clear blue eye, large
prominent well-shaped nose, and face young
enough for second lieutenant. 1t Is Skooe-
left, the Youngest General in the Russian
army, the conqueror of Khokand. He has
the reputation even among the Russians, OF
being a mailman who would fling away his
own life and those of his troops without the
slightest regard for consequences. During
the war which resulted in the conquest OF
Khokand, Russian detachment OF 800 men,
with 400 Cossacks, was compelled to retreat
before superior force of the enemy. Gen
Trotsky decided npon a night attack, and
confded his plan to Colonel Skobelef, then
his chief of staff. The latter entered into the
idea with great enthusiasm, and proposed to
lead the attacking column himself and to take
only 100 Cossacks Skobeletf, having recon
offered the ground, perceived that the kho-
kandians had encamped within mile and
half of the Russians in an open plain, which
gave every facility for maneuvering cavalry.
At midnight he took his 100 Cossacks, divided
them into three parties, and cautiously sur
rounded the enemys camp. The party, led
by Skobeletf himself, managed to pass the
enemy's outposts, who were sound asleep.
Then he gave the signal for the attack by FIR
ing his pistol, and, followed by his $50 Cos
sacks, he rode headlong into the enemy's
camp of six or seven thousand men, shouting
and yelling like fends, and cutting down
everything in their passage. For quarter
of an hour the plain resounded with shrieks
and yells, shots, the trampling of horses,
shouts and groans, and all the uproar of bat
tie Then all was silence. Skobeletf assem-
bled his Cossacks, and when morning came
he found the whole army of the enemy, six or
seven thousand men, had disappeared, leaving
on the field about forty dead, two or three
thousand muskets and sabers, all their camp
material and baggage But what was his as
constituent on calling the roll to discover that
he had not lost man either killed or wounded
Mr. MacGahan, who first met him on the
banks of the Oxus, relates this exploit to show
how much method there is in the dare devils |
madness.

Rabbi Hirsch, of Baltimore, denies that
the Jews sacrificed Jesus He says "In all
the Hebrew laws there is not one word any
where of crucihxion, which was never in
hicted by the Jews The time that Jesus
was crucitied was at the approach of the Sab
bath, a day greatly honored by the Jews, and
it contrary to all law to infiict the death
penalty at that time. The Romans, however,
knowing this, took delight in treating with
derision the Jewish Sabbath, and in a man
ner most acceptable to the Romans, inflicted
the Roman mode of punishment The jew
ish priest and people were grieved at the act,
and the former rent his garments upon wit
Messing the Dissertation Of the Sabbath III the
land of the Hebrews"
Some years ago an ingenious writer (whose
name escapes us) wrote pamphlet entitled
Ex parte Pontius PLATE. In this pamphlet
the trial of Jesus was reviewed, Just as any
law-case might be reviewed; and some deduc-
tons were drawn which justified Plate for
the part he played in that memorable trans
action. 1t was contended that Jerusalem at
that time was under Roman military law and
that Christ was arrested, tried, convicted and
executed under that law-which is doubtless
true We do not at all suppose that the Jews
objected to his execution upon the cross; but
it seems evident that it was not by their or
der and authority that he was put to death

INDIAN HANGED. Says the Ward Reflex of
July 8;
About one week ago an Indian attempted
an outrage upon little girl of this place, and
it coming to the ears of her father, he and
a number of friends proceeded to the Indian
camp and informed them that they would
have to look ont for him. About IL o'clock
on the night of the Sd, number of Indians
captured the offender, took him a mile below
town and strung him up. The Indians admit
that he was demented and has made many
such attempts before. We suppose of course,
that threats had to be resorted to in order to
make them string him up, but it was right
and proper, All such no matter of what
color, should be disposed of as summarily as
mad dogs usually are
