A Poor Town for Business,

He was red nosed, wild eyed man
from the head waters Of Sage Run, and
looked as if he had not BEEN in town
since oil was discovered His rusty
pants were several inches too short for
him, and he carried half dozen coon
skins in his hand.
A: the post-offce corner he met South
Side lady, and stopping her by holding
the bunch of hides before her face, said:
''Can't sell you something nice to
make a set Of furs out of?'
The lady screamed. aud shot across to
the other side Of the street.
"Does any Of your neighbors want to
buy anything of the kind?' yelled the
red-nosed man.
The lady screamed again.
Nov what's the matter with Han
ner?' remarked the red-nosed man as
the lady disappeared in the door opposite.
moment later the man veered into a
bank, and threw his hides down at the
cashiers window.
'Got some A No. 1 coon-skins here
that I'll sell cheap. Not aAcratch of a
tooth on any Of EN-. Ketched every one
of 'em in a box-trap."
"We have no use for then1," said the
president, politely, as. he cast an oblique
glance at the goods.

the red-nosed man. 1.-TWO hides III make

'lf you don't get out of this, I'll kick

president.
''I'll take thirty cents for the six,' said
the red nosed man. Dye say the word2"
and he dangled the bunch by the tails.
The president started for the outside.
The man with the skins started for the
sidewalk, and after having reached it he
paused and said:

Cradle SOug eff the Poor.

4 Hush, I cannot bear to see thee u
Stretch thy tiny hands in vain;
Dear, 1 have no bread to give the, #
Nothing, child to ease thy pain!
When God sent thee first to bless me,
Proud and thankful, too, was I!
! Now, my darling / thy mother,
Almost long to see the die.
Almost long to see thee die.
Sleep my darling, thou art weary,
God is good, but life is dreary.
I have watched thy beauty fading,
And thy strength sink day by day,
Soon, know, will want and fever
Take thy little life away.
Famine makes thy father reckless,
Hope has left both him and me;
We could suffer, all my baby,
Had we but crust for thee.
Better thou should perish early,
Starve SO soon, my darling one,
Then in hopeless sin and sorrow
Vainly live as I have done.
Better that thy angel spirit
Than thy heart grow cold and careless,
Reckless, hopeless, like my own.
am wasted, dear with hunger,
And my brain is all opprest;
have scarcely strength to press the,
Wan and feeble to my breast,
Patience, baby, God will help us,
Death will come to thee and me,
He will take us to His heaven,
Where no want or pain can be.
Such the plant that late apd early,
Did we listen we might hear
Close beside us-but the thunder
OF city dulls our ear.
Every heart, as Gods bright angel
Can bid one such sorrow cease;
God has glory when His children
Bring His poor ones ioy and peace.

ARREsTD FOR EsIBEZZLEMENT.

ARREsTD FOR EMBEzzLEMENT.- =
Wednesday, Sheriff Bolton, of Iowa
county, Iowa, arrived here from
Marion county, having in custody a
man named VIM. B. Taylor. This
man was arrested on requisition
from the governor OF that State,
charged with having embezzled Il
certain sum of money entrusted to
his hands, Taylor, it seems, was
auditor of Iowa county, in the year
1875, and while acting in an official
capacity appropriated about $4,000
of public money. He was detected,
arrested, had a preliminary exami-
nation and was held to await the ac
ton of the grand jury. Taylor's
father furnished the bonds required
and he was released. This occurred
about year ago. Soon after being
released Taylor left the country and
came out to this State. He rented
small farm in Marion county, on
which he and his family settled.
When the case came up for trial,
the defendant could not be found,
and the bonds were declared forfeit
ed. His father being compelled to
make the sum good wa SE7ken up.

Party Principles.

atsy s''aSsHtSSs
A South Carolina correspond
ent Of a New York paper, in
speaking of the political situa-
ton in that State says: IA trav-
eler in South Carolina might
suppose that the Republican
party had dissolved, and chat
the whole State was harmonious
in the support Of Gov. Hamp-
ton and the Democratic party.
But nevertheless, the Republi-
cans are silently at work pre-
pairing to make a fight in every
county where there is Il colOred
majority for the county offices
and the Legislature" And this
correspondent is Of the opinion
that Hampton and the present
State officers will not be dis
turbed, but that the Republl-
cans will carry the Legislature
and elect the next [. S. Senator.
GAS to principles" he says: 81
find not the slightest difference
between what is known here as
the old straight Democratic par
ty, and this now stralght-out
Republican party. They both
assert the equal rights of all
men, and oppose the special leg
1slatlon of the Republican Leg
islatures and the last Democrat
ic Legislature which gave eX-
elusive privileges to few capi-
talists.
In this last particular we can
see no difference between the
politics of South Carolina and
those of any other section of
the Union. Parties exist but In
name without any clearly de-
fined boundaries founded upon
principles. SPECIAL privileges

deceased we can fully endorse
the following tribute to his char
acter by the Oregonian, apolitica!
opponent of over twenty years
standing:
:'In official life we have never
heard Of q single charge tarnish-
ing his character, though his
public career embraced a time
when political rancor ran to a
high pitch and but few men es
capped the shafts of calumny.
Since his retirement from the
office of governor he has filled
other important trusts, both
public and private, and always
in an acceptable manner. His
interest in behalf Of the welfare
of Oregon was great and having
seen the state In herinfancy and
weakness he rejoiced in her
fuller growth and her power
among the states of the Union.
A Democrat in politics, he was
earnest in his convictions as
such, but not an EXTREMIST, and
labored for men rather than
party. Hence in the days when
strict partisanship was made a
test Of merit, he was passed in
the political race by others less
worthy Of preferment.
'In private life and among his
neighbors and personal acqualnt-
ances Gov. Curry was universal
ly esteemed, and by those most
intimate with him he was regard
ed with most affection. His atfa-
BILE and courteous manner, his
fine conversational powers and
his well stored mind made him
an agreeable companion. In
fact Leading trait of his char
acter was that Of urbanity, and
he was everywhere recognized
as Il true gentleman and an
honest man."

Another Section Of Railroad.

Yesterday, by invitation, VIC
accompanied Messrs. Colman
Denny and Matthias, Directors
Scurry and Thorn, Engineers
and Mr.. E. NJ. Smithers, in an
examination Of the route for an
eight miles extension of the Sc
attic and Walla Walla Railroad
from Renton, with view to an
immediate commencement Of the
work. The party took the 81
o'clock train to Renton and from
thence proceeded. on foot up Ce-
der River as far as the Cedar
Mountain Coal Mine, crossing
the river twice and making q
thorough reconnaissance of both
sides, covering not less than 20
miles O. hard travel in going and
returning, q considerable portion
being made through almost i'm
penetrable thickets and climbing
through the interlacing branch
es of fallen timber, at times I5
to 20 feet from the ground. The
route, upon the whole, more di-
rect and Of easier grade than
any not acquainted with it had
heretofore anticipated, beng far
cheaper per mile than that OF
the branch to Newcastle. Near
the end Of the section examined
the railroad location skirts the
Cedar mountain coal mine, the
most remarkable coal deposit
Of which we have any report in
the world. At this point, the
bed of Cedar river is of solid
coal; seventy feet above a grade
of wagon road is cut in the
mountain the upper side of which
is a solid wall of coal; thirty
five feet above this grade, upon
the same ledge, chamber has
been eXcavated, not less than
twenty feet high and thirty feet
across, either way, into solid
mass Of coal, above, below, and
upon all sides, equal in quality
to the best that has ever been
mined upon this coast. The coal
from this mine could lie placed
