Patrick.
And Shakespeare Beat on Hs
Romeo.

Last Sunday vas St. Patrick's day:
To-day amt.
But the following, carefully nailed to.
gether, is too good to be lost:
ST. Patrick was . gentleman,
And came from decent people;
He built church in Dublin town,
And on il built steeple,
His father was . Hoolagan,
His sister an OGrady.
His mother was Mulligan,
His wife the widow Brady.
Success attend St. Patrick's fist,
He WAS . saint 40 clever:
lie gave the snakes and tOads twist,
And banished them forever.
The Wicklow hills are very high,
And SOS the hills Of HOwth, sir,
But there's hill that's higher still,
And bigger than them both, sir.
Twas from the top of that same hill
St. Patrick preached his sa'minf
That drove the frogs into the bogs,
And vanished all the usrmim!
Nine hundred thousand vipers blue
lie charmed with sweet discourses.
And s.rved them up at killadOO
In soups and second courses.
The blind worms crawling on the grass
| Disguised all the nation,
Till he opened their eyes AID their hearts
likewise,
To = sense of their situation.
There's not mile through Irelands isle
Where the dirty creature musters!
But there he put his dear forefoo'.
And murdered them m clusters.
The toads went pop. the frogs went sioP,
Slap dash into the water,
And the snakes committed suicide
To save themselves from slaughter!
No wonder that the Irish boys
Are all 50 brave and frisky,
For sure St, Patrick taught them that,
And the way Of making whisky.
No wonder that the saint himself
Was handy at distilling,
For his mother kept the shebeen house
In the town OF Enniskillen!

THE FIRE EscAPE.- The fire es-
cape recently patented by DR.. Bry-
ant, If this city, was again tested
yesterday, not only by the inventor
but by a gentleman sojourning at
the New England Hotel. The de-
scent was made from a window in
the third story of the United States
Hotel first by the doctor and after
wards by the gentleman alluded to-
The latter is man of rather timid
nature, so that the test was of much
significance. as showing the conf
dence which the working of the
machine inspires. From time to
time, in the Eastern and Middle
States, attempts have been made to
introduce fire escapes, but they have
universally failed, for the 1eason
that ladies were afraid to venture in
them, This is one of the essential
features in DIR. Bryant's apparatus;
the whole machinery being so sim
pie in construction and adj jastment.
that the most timid girl would feel
perfectly safe in its protecting arms,
no matter from what height she
might be descending. Now that the
patent has been issued, we shall
take occasion, at no distant day. to
give full description of this ma
chine; filling as it does so import
ant place in the world of life-sav-
ing inventions.
Mr.. E. j. Smith informs the

They have not discovered any Ind

Indian War.

Major NJ. V. Rhinehart, of the
Maiheur agency, has told the settlers
on Willow Greek. Oregon, on the
Canyon City mail road to this place,
and about 80 miles north of the
agency, that they had better leave
there by Saturday. He evidently
believes that the hostiles are making
a rendezvous in STEMS mountains
and will raid across this road and
probably come farther north. 1t is
impossible to fortell the plans or
make n satisfactory guess on the
movements and mischief that will
be committed by the hosti es.
We do not like to excite the fear
of anybody; but we are satisfied
from what we know, that the hos
tiles have no other purpose in this
war than to steal and murder. They
are not fighting for any country, or
to redress any particular grievance.
The old story that they have once
owned this whole country, and are
entitled to it now, so oft repeated to
their young warriors, has incite.l
them to commence hostilities.
We do not believe their warriors
are very numerous, but are made up
from several tribes. Their main
incentive being pluHder. To do this
they will raid the exposed settle
ments, and possibly try and avenge
themselves upon the settlers who
occupy their most coveted old
grounds. like the Bruneau, Malheur,
Weizer and Camas Prairie countries.
The settlers in these localities and
on their line OF march, wherever it
may be for @ radius of nearly two
hundred miles. are in more or less
danger as long as the war lasts. or
until the hostiles are driven out and
take up direct line of march out of
the country. which will be for Sit
ting Bulls country over the British
line.
The most we can say to the set
tiers is, to secure all the arms and
ammunition possible, have out their
scouts and keep we'll posted ON the
movements of the Indians, and have
some sort of fort built where the
women and children can be got to-
gether and protected, should defen-
sive work become necessary .-Boise

Hypocrisy.

1t Is not only humanity, but to our
mind it avors strongly of hypocrisy,
for a repentant sinner. who has fallen
from a high estate, solely by the force
OF his own habits and weaknesses to
turn up the whites of his eyes, meek
ly for forgiveness, ask to be taken
back into the fold, and insinuate in the
same breath that the cause of his de.
scent is to be attributed to the frailities
of his wife. His course may COM
mend itself to the "unco guild" but
there is but M opinion of it in this
latitude, and that Is by 40 means COM
plimentary to the person who is striv-
ing by promises of amendment to re-
gain a position that he has disgraced.
We mention no names nor would we
put a straw in the way of any ones
reformation. but when a plea for char
ity and forgiveness is accompanied
with a covert sneer, and based upon
the exclusion of a weak woman from
the fold, we are constrained to doubt
its sincerity, and in that doubt we are
supported by the universal comments
of every one who has a knowledge of
the true inwardness of the case alluded
tn.
