PLEASANT Bedrooms.

There is nothing more indicative Of
refinement and a genuine culture in
family than bright, cheerful and
tastefully decorated bed-chamSers
Tasteful decorations do not necessarily
mean expense, and it is possible tc
make chamber look very pretty at a
very small outlay. Indeed, in many
Instances, no outlay at all will be re-
CURED beyond what would be incurred
under any circumstances. The wo.
ren Of a family, especially, are apt to
pass good portion of their time in
their bed chambers, aud in some house
holds the sleeping apartments, are used
alike for sewing rooOtls, sitting rooms
and nurseries. 1t is worth while to
obtain all the innocent pleasure we can
ind in this life, and there can be nc
doubt that lie is pleasanter if most OF
It's hours are passed in cheerlul-look-
apartments.

Ludovico Monaldesco, at the great

Thousands of examples of men who
commenced new study, either for

Latest From the Front.

\ dispatch from General Wheaton, dated
near La Grande, 18th inst, passed over the
wires, Friday night, stating that about one
hundred Umatilla Indians were in the field,
fighting shoulder to-shoulder with our troops
and dong good service Thursday, they were
sent on the trail OF the hostiles ahead OF
General Forsyth cavalry coluGn-under the
command OF three citizen scouts-came up
with the enemy, killed seventeen warriors
and captured twenty-five sluaws and chill
drcn. This is good work, and fully commits
tie Umatillas to our side, and 1t is to be
hoped they may continue this sort OF thing
Previous to this they had killed Egan and
ten other hostile bucks.
General Wheaton is with the foot troops
General Forsyth is doing all possible with
the cavalry battalion, and all appear to be
doing their utmost to bring this war to a
close. General Howard, when last heard
from. was en- route from north OF the Grand
Ronde with small force, through the Wal
Iowa region, and has doubtless before this
reached the vicinity OF Wheaton's and For

CONSTITUTIONAL PARAGRAPHS.

TIE CONSTITUTION FRAMERS have now
been in attendance at Walla Walla for a
period of forty days, and exclusive OF Sun
days and the 4th Of Jcly, have held daily
sessions. As a result they promise US con-
stitution twice as hig as that OF the United
States. and in the estimation OF the mem-
bers. A much ADLER document. Every men,
Der Of the convention seems to deem himself
a Solon, and occasionally as one OF these
great law-sivers passes along the streets We
are reminded Of the lines:
"And still the wonder grew
Tha. one small head held all he knew.
Athens had her seven wise men, but
Washington territory, more fortunate, has
fifteen wise men, any one Of them tit to
frame a constitution or furnish a code by
.he side of which such code makers as Justin
ian and Napoleon, may hide their diminished
heads. All honor to these great men, who
in the sweltcring heat OF aJuly sun are Will
ing TO consecrate their time and talents to
the framing of constitution that Is to leave
all Other papers Of the kind III the shade.
And all this devotion and ability rewarded
by the paltry sum of s. 4 day. From time
IN time rs we witness the sublime devotion
of these fifteen great men, We blush for the
parsimony OF Washington territory, and IN
warily hope that the next session Of the leg
islature will witness the passage OF relief
bill doubling their pay. The nineteenth
century has known two great assemblages
the electoral commission at Washington.
AMI the constitutional convention at Walla
NalIa- numbering fifteen members each.
France long since gave to the members Of her
academy the title of immortals." 1t Will
he FOR America to see that the names of the
fifteen of the electoral commission rs also the
fifteen of the constitutional convention are
placed high on the scale Of fame Patriot
ism as illustrated IN the lives ard services
ct the immortal thirty should be forever
honored. 1t was the fate of the old city oi
the sea to have her thirty tyrantS. America
more fortunate has her thirty patriots. Lei
the youth Of the period visit Science Hall,
and there carefully note and watch the say
ings and doings of these fifteen great men.
In after times il will be something to boast
Of having witnessed SO much wisdom crowd
ed into SO small space. Iice Ia d"mbaJ!

REApISG TIE CoTSTITUnoN.-0cca
ally it is said to the reproach of a man that
he has "never read the constitution OF the
United States" Considering the brevity of
the document, this certainly is cause for re-
proach, but when it comes 10 the constitution
of Washington, from present indications, it
will require a life time to read it through,
and so the ordinary citizen viii ask to be
excused To meet this emergency, We sug-
gest that asynopsiS- 10 occupy not to exceed
100 octave pages-be prepared Tor the use Of

UNFAIR. Considering that less than one
third the voters of the territory took part in
elec:ing members of the constitutional con-
vention. it is manifestly unfair that the
whole people should be taxed to foot the
bills the assembled g statesmen are piling
up. Washington territory is in 4 fair way
to learn that playing state " is sn eypen-
sive luxury. Give the children a tcy-rattie
