A Morn in Oregon.

A morn in Oregon! The lindled camp
Upon the morning brow that broke below
In steep and grassy stairway TO the damp
And dewy valley, snapped and famed aglow
With knots of pine Above, the peaks of snow,
With under,belts of sable forests, rose
And tlash'd in sudden sunlight To and fro
And far below, in lines and winding rows,
The herders drove their bands and broke the
deep repose.
l heard their shouts like sounding hunters
horn,
The lowing herds made echoes far away;
When 10, the clouds came driving in with morn
Toward the sea, as fleeing from the day.
The valleys filld with curly clouds. They lay
Below, level sea that reachd and rolfd
And broke like breakers of Il stormy bay
Against the grassy single fold on fold,
So like splendid ocean, snowy white and cold.
Here lifts the land of clouds. The mantled
FORMS
Made white with everlasting snow, look down
Through mists of many canyons, and the
storms
That stretch from autumn time until they
drown
The yellow hem of spring. The ccdars frown,
Dark-brow'd through banner'd clouds that
stretch and stream
Above the sea from snowy mountain crown.
The heavens roll, and all things drift or seem
To drift about and drive like some majestic
dream.

OREGON ENTERPRIsE.-It is graft
flying to be able to announce that true
merit is always appreciated by our
Western people. The WEST SHORE
started as an illustrated paper nearly
three years ago, and has now the lar
gest circulation of any paper in the
Pacific Northwest. Its engravings
are artistically executed, and the ar
ticles are well and carefully written.
1t is one of that class of papers which
can safely be admitted into the family
circle, the publisher being especially
careful not to admit any article or adj
vertisement which would be likely to
offend the most fastidious. For 1878
THE WEST SHORE has been greatly
improved and adorned with magnifi-
cent new heading. Every issue con-
sists of 16 large size pages, filled with
the very choicest reading. 1t is
publication that every resident of the
Pacific Northwest can feel proud of.
As the subscription price is but l.50
per year, every family should sub
scribe for it, and those having friends
in the Eastern States should send
them a copy for year. Any one
sending 81 will receive the paper for
1873, and will also be furnished with
six months back numbers, including
the mammoth edition in July last
Specimen copy, twenty cents, which
may afterwards be deducted when
subscribing for the entire year

Take Your Choice.

w. f. Peck, writing to the Oregon
ian on Future Punishment" closes
his letter as follows:
''Before many years the line will
be sharply drawn between the advo-
cate of free thought on the one hand,
and religious bigotry condensed into
the Catholic church on the other
That reason will finally triumph over
superstition, no one can doubt; that
it may do so without bloodshed, we
may hope, but have little reason TO
believe"
A Romanist, signing himself "A
Believer in He'll" follows with let
ter concluding as follows:
sIf you believe in some punish
ment hereafter, punishment lasting
only a certain time. then YOU believe
the Catholic doctrine of purgatorv.
which you have rejected and ridi-
culed for years and wears: this has
been proved by believing in Purga-

Woman a Blessing.

What a blessing to a household is
a merry, cheerful woman-one whose
spirits are not affected by wet days,
or little disappointments, or whose
milk Of human kindness does not sour
in the sunshine Of prosperity. Such
a woman in the darkest hours, bright
ems the house like a little piece of
sunshiny weather. The magnetism
Of her smiles and electrical brightness
Of her looks and movements infect
every one. The children 90 to school
with a sense Of something great to
be achieved; her husband goes into
the world in conquerer's spirit. No
matter how people annoy and worry
him all day, far off her presence
shines, and he whispers to himself,
AT home shall rest" So day by
day she literally renews his strength
and energy, and if you know a man
with beaming face, kind heart,
and prosperous business, in nine
cases out of ten he has wife Of this
kind.-Duiles Nountdineer.

the consequences, nine times out of

Condition Of Public Buildings.

men are Of the safety u property and

not singular that our looselv-or-an-

ment should show similar neglect.
But the want Of safety in the public
buildings at Washington, a. revealed
by the report of the Commission ap-
pointed after the fire in the Patent
Office, Is unfortunate, if not extraor-
binary. In the Capitol the safety Of
the vast dome is threatned by the

In Mr.. Sullivan's book, New Ireland"
considerable space is given to describing
the process by which some Of the landlords
in his country had dealt with their ten
antry and estates, and the ruthlessness with
which the former were cleared off the latter
when it suited the whims of the landlords.
Heartrending scenes Of. desolation are de-
scribed as taking place when, armed with
the powers of the law, the landlord came
down upon his wretched tenants-at-will
and turned them out, in many cases to die
by the roadside, in most cases to leave the
land Of their fathers forever rather than
starve. The process is known as eviction,
and the word in Ireland had a shudder in
every letter OF it. Those were the times
when landlords were shot by Mbbonmen
or whatever name the desperate creatures
who had lost their homes or lived in fear Of
losing them were known by. But it has
been thought that under the new land laws
the worst of this had gone by. The cpl
grammatic description Of Russia as "a des-
potism tempered by assassination" once
thought SO fit to apply to Irelands agrarian
trOuDles, mas Deen uecl0reu no longer
suitable one Yesterday, however, we learn
that the Earl of Leitrim. large landowner
in Ireland, a man seventy-two years of-ago,
was brutality murdered, together with his
driver and clerk, near one Of his man
ors in Derry county. and in front
of cottage from which he had
lately evicted a widow. The belief in its
not being crime for the purpose Of rob-
berry is based on the fact that eighty-nine Of
the Earl's tenants were under notice to quit.
This murder on the one hand and the
preparations for a Wholesale eviction on the
other cannot be regarded without regret,
for each shows in its way that the long
chapter of wasting distractions has not
ended for Ireland.

the New York Salaries NH.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Fish, which
passed the Assembly yesterday by ma
jority OF eighty-four votes, provides Tor. a
reduction of two million dollars per an
mum on the salary list Of New York city, or
close to twenty per cent upon the amount
now paid. The work is entailed upon the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment,
which, inside certain defined restrictions,
is permitted to decide the application of
the reductions to individual officers. The
first important provision is that which
limits the compensation OF any officer to
ten thousand dollars year; the second
provides that, with certain exceptions. no
subordinate Of any department shall re-
ceive moro than five thousand dollars
salary. The exceptions are the deputies
of heads of departments, the chief engineer
Police. The law. moreover, prohibits the
payments Of any moneys directly or indi-
rectly, by fee or allowance, from the city
treasury in excess Of the amounts defined
by the law. This provision is a wholesome
enc, for il strikes at the root of the enormous
incomes derived from fees, which, rs is we'll
known, go in great part to provide corrup-
ton funds for political purposes. The bill
reduces the salary Of the Mayor from
twelve thousand to ten thousand
dollars, and that Of the Corporation
Counsel from fifteen thousand to ten thou
sand. We do not think that these offices,
when occupied by men who bring the
proper dignity. ability and integrity
to them, should be meanly compensated.
With the Corporation Counsel, whose stand
ing in the profession may be gagged by the
salary he will accept, that at present paid is
not too much to secure an efficient officer.
If the place is to be made mere nest for o
hungry hanger on the reduced amount
would be ten times too much but that is
not what Is desirable. The manner in
which the bill, IL II becomes law, shall be
administered depends, as we have said, on
the Board Of Apportionment 1t should be
