THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1878.

An Oregon Legislative committee
has discovered that the swamp land

his favorites, and now there is music

Commercial disasters are not en-
tirely confined to the United States,
and the English capitalists who have
been seriously criticizing the business
tact of Americans and the numerous
failures among them are now wholly
engrossed in viewing the most gigan-
tic failure of modern times, that of
the bank of Glasgow, which failed
last week owing fifty million dollars.
On top of this comes the failure of
an East Indies trading firm of Lon
don for the amount of ten million
dollars more. The English capital
ist now has a wide field for study
without going away from home.

The Pendleton Iadepeadentrecently
stated that no effort whatever has
been made by those in authority to
arrest or punish guilty Indians. The
Dayton Ne'cs is officially authorized
to state that six Indians are in Jail,
at Pendleton, for hostile acts; that
another shot and killed himself as he
was being arrested. Also, that the
commanding officer has notified the
sheriff Of Umatilla county of over
thirty more Indians who acted with
the hostiles, and wanted their arrest
and punishment. If the civil author
tiles will not arrest these murderers
1t surely is not the fault of the COM
handing officer.

Too Sharp for the Landlord.

III WAS more common years ago than
l recently for landlords and stage-driv-
ere to have an understanding with each
other, whereby, for consideration paid
the driver, hungry travellers were scarce
ly allowed time to comfortably seat
themselves at the table, when the driver
would announce the immediate depart
ure of the stage, thus cheating people
out of a meal who paid for one.
remember being one of stage load
of hungry travellers crossing the Sierra
Nevada before railroads had spanned it,
when noted judge, still on the bench,
and an equally noted professor of an
eastern college, were of the party.
Our arrival at dinner station was
hailed with delight by all the party, and
we filed into the dining-room to attack
the savory viands, the landlord, how
ever, first taking care to collect the fee
for the meal from each of us. We had
certainly not been five minutes at the
table, and some of us, in waiting to be
helped to coffee, had not tasted mouth
ful of food, when our driver shouted;

The Matrimonial Lottery.


A young stranger called on DIR. NC
one evening, while he was pastor in
New York city, to engage his services
in the performance of a nuptial cere-
mOny.
" 1 wish to make bargain with you
doctOr," said the young man. "I think
the girl am to marry wiltm a first
rate wife. If you will wait for your fee,
and she turns out as / think she will,
Ell then give you fifty dollars."
They agreed, the young couple were
married, and the incident passed from
the doctors mind. At the end of the
year, at the same time in the evening,
the young man called again. The doc
tor did not recognize him at FIRST
"Do you not remember the bargain
wsmade when you married me year
agos"
"'0h yes" replied the doctsn
" Well, said the young MAN. ''she is
twice as good as L thought she was.
There's ore hundred dollars aer. you"
EXACTLY the opposite of this is the fol-
lowing:
A Clergyman in one of the Hudson
River towns united German couple in
marriage. When the knot was tied, the
bridegroom said, " Dominic, Eve got no
mOnish, bat Ill send you Won little
pig.' 1t WAS done, and the circumstance
was forgotten by the clergyman. Two
years afterward he met the German in
another town, for the first time since
the marriage ceremony was performed.
Dominic" said the German, you
remembers you married me. and gave
you Won leetle pigY'
Yes"
well, If you unmarry me, Twill give
you two leetle pigs"

"All aboard I'm behind time and

A look of mingled consternation and
disgust spread from face to face, as we
sprang from The table, but the Judge re-
mained cool, as he touched the professor
on the arm.
VIII you see to the bread supply, If
/ take care of the meat 2" he queried
The professor caught at his purpose
and promptly assented. In another in
slant the judge had conveyed large tur-
key and u couple of spring chickens,
ready carved, from their platters to two
napkins, while the professor emptled
the contents Of the bread plates into an
other, and, led by the judge, they
marched triumpbantly to the coach.
Their example was contagious; each
of the passengers hastily confiscated
some articles of food-meats, vegetables
even pastry-until the dining-room was
pretty thoroughly stripped of everything
that went to make up the concomitants
of good meal, and the interior of the
coach bore the appearance, ] imagine, Of
Sherman's raid, while the bewildered
and amazed look Of the face of the
speeehless landlord, as we drove off,
would have proven % prize-study to an
artist. The roars of laughter it caused

Leaders of Society.

Years ago Lord Lyons, then the Eng
lish Minister, imported coachman and
it was not long before he was we'll
known. Soon afterwards he began
trading horses, and made great deal
of money. Following that he went into
the grocery business in what is known
as the "old First Ward' of Washing
ton, and accumulated more money. He
married, and son came to his family.
When the father died he left plenty OF
money, which his son inherited, sue
ceeding him in the grocery business
The son was too proud, however to stick
to it, and he gave it up, andinvested bis
money in other ways. About the time
the English coachman came here a
French cook direct from France, ar
rived here, and secured employment
with the French Minister. He also was
married, and had three or four daugh-
ters. Like the coachman, he amassed a
great deal of money, and increased it by
fortunate real estate speculations. He
owned several squares of property in the
neighborhood, since bought up by Hal
let Kilbourne's real estate pool. The
son of the coachman married the daugh-
ter of the cook, and they are to-day the
leaders of Washington society.

would depend more upon the size and

after whispered consultation they con-

Rhetorical Gems.

TheS st. Louis Republican, says =
A few rhetorical gems, culled from q
speech by Four Courts lawyer the
other day, are here given:
"I tell you, gentlemen, thet the de-
fendant is as innocent as the child that
never was born"
Gentlemen, think am guiltless of
speak the truth"
g The prosecuting witness, gentle
men, is man that carries wsepins, and
that is guilty of man who came near
being murdered by being shot at two
weeks ago."
The more younger the child is the
more truth there is in it, and the ig-
noranter the man is the more like
child he is. The police can't give him
riddles, because he can't answer them,
and so he has to speak the truth and
don't lie. So, you see, that witness of
mine told the truth"
81 tell you, gentlemen, them police
are simply damnable, and I'm after them
like leech."

tion was the same gentleman who, while
the case was in progress, demanded to
know of q witness, Where was you on
the - day of -, and If so, state
whether you were there or not 20 Then
he frowned and grew angry because the
witness wouldn't answer yes or no.
EE- A skeptlcal and conceited young
fellow once told an old Quaker, that
he did not believe in the Divine origin
of the bible, as there was no proof of it.
The Quaker replied Do you believe
there is such a country as Africa"
g Yes for though have never seen it
other people have"
g Then thee does not believe in any
thing that thee or some one else has not
seen 20
" No, of course not"
8 Did thee ever see your brains -
"No.n
"Did thee ever see any person who
! had ?n
"No.n

can not have any, and perhaps in this
case thy doctrine is right
