an improper one, be ecauSe the witness stated
that he had never made insanity special

rect the mind Of the witness to the time OF

therefore Objectionable for vagueness.

FRIDAY MORNING, APP Ill IS, 1879.

Old lack and VIM. E., see in it all
opportunity to hurt the Democratic
party and give aid aud comfort to
the Republicans. I have met South
ern men who see in it nothing but
al Utopian scheme which is to affect
only the negroes, but othors with
more foresight say it is d wicked
political trick. Trey start with the
declaration that the Radical mana
gers care hot a straw for the bodies
or souls of the negroes, and now
mean to use them only for poll lical
objects. AS stated by him, these OBJ
jects are as follows: First, to de-
prive the South of population, and
hence of congressional representation,
and, secondly, to enable them to be
judiciously distributed III Ohio,
Indiana and other close Western
States, so Us to make them Republi-
a in 1880. A Massachusetts Demo
crat goes Sc far as to declare that
under the guise of sending them to
Kansas they are to be colonized
quietly into Connecticut, New Jersey
and New York. This looks as if Old
lack G &c. had given up the South
and we're turning their attention to q
solid North for Grant. While Rainey
says your colored eople are anxious
to leave South Carolina and seek
homes in the West, a leading white
citizen of your State says: "Well,
let them go, and JOY go with them"
1t creates merriment that lack has
offered 40 acres and Il mule to one
hundred hat will settle on his land.

The Register On Depopulation.

This paper, it seems to us, takes
e%minently just views of this matter.
The South can never be depopulated
by any general hegira of her colored
citizens. If any can go, we bid them
God-spced to Liberia, Kansas or any
where else. They can never be a
controlling element in legislation. If
they are to be a bone of contention
and keep up the line between the
North and South, the sooner they
depart the better. Such campaigns
as we have had destroy not only the
material of the State, but
degrade the whole moral tone of our
people. In 1879 we surrendered
business and all else to politics. In
1898 very much the same course was
pursued. Labor was demoralized;
money expended; industries paralyz.
ed, and, we repeat, worse than all,
ruinous habits entailed, especially on
the young. Then, in the name of
reason and commo sense, let all dis
satisfied darkies seek a more congeni.

Satisfying His Patient.

Common sense generally recon-
mends physicians as well as other
men to popular favor, but there are
exceptions where something uncom-
mon is better received. The Hoosiers
listened to a speech of General Jack
son, but would hardly be satisfied
that he was a great man till he shout
ed q string of Latin phrases, "E
pluri6ns unum," "Afuham an parvo,"
"Stme qua non :" and then they rent
the air with wild hurras for him. A
nice invalid was even harder to satisfy
than tho Hoosiers. The first physi-
clan in his case was discharged be-
cause he was honest enough to tell
him that he had a sore throat; and
the second doctor, having some hint
of the fact, answered the sick man,
when questioned, that his case was
highly abnormal, and had degeuer.
ated into synancAe tonsilari.s.
'Oh, DOCTOR cried the patient, 'do
say that word again !"
"Why, sir. I said you were at pre-
sent laboring under Synanche tonsR-
aris.
"Why, just think, doctor, that fool
old me 1 had nothing bat a sors
throat, and I told him I had no use
for such a Ounce. Doctor, what did
you call it ?"
81 told you, sir in plain terms,
that the morbid condition of your
system was obvious, and that it has
terminated in synanche t~onslarts."
ooh, doctor, it must be q monstrous
bad complaint? Think you can cure
me doctor ?"
"Now, though your diaguo sis is
clear, your prognosis is doubtful; yet
1 think, by prudent care and skillful
treatment, you may recover"
ooh, we'll, doctor, dostay all night,
and 1 will pay you anything you

A GroCer's Trick.

A grocer bought four chests Of tea
at a bargain of rs cents per pound.
They we're all of the same quality or
brand, but as his customers wanted a
variety of prices he accommodated
them, and marked different packages
respectively 25, so, rs, and 81 per
pound. After awhile Deacon -
comes in to buy tea. The grocer
gives him samples of each price to
try. The next day the deacon re.
turned, and rendered his decision az
follows:
THAT 25 cent tea is a very fair
article for the price; the 80 cen ia
much better; the rs cent tea is ex-
cellent, and the dollar tea is a very
superior article, l can assure you.
But | can't quite go that figure. Let
me have 10 pounds OF the rs cent
tea"
He was accommodated. How
grocers have changed since thea.

Food for Cynics.

After four months of marriage,
Rev. Joseph Cook, the famous theo-
logico-scientitic preacher, delivered
some remarkable ~discousses upon
mairimony. lie could find in his
" p~rodigiously enlarged vocabu-
larly no language ample and for
chile enough 10 d. .cribe that ecstatic
condition. He promised moreover
that he would publish a book upon
the same subject, embracing much
more than could be embodied in q
sermon or series Of them. The cynics,
who mistrusted the wisdom and ex-
perience Of newly married man like
MIR. Cook, were curious to see what
changes had come DER his dream and
which would be evidenced in the
promised volume. Now it begins to
look suspicious. Mr.. Cooks book has
not been published. and the cynics
aforesaid are asking the reason why.
They boldly insinuate that the great
philosopher Of four months of bliss is
not the same man after the expira.
ton Of more than a year. They
whisper that Mr.. Cook, being an hon
est man, considers it best II OF to pub
lish that volume, in that he has had
cause TO modify some ofhis rapturous
flights. We are not prepared to be-
lieve this. We prefer to think rather
that Mr.. Cook has been too happy at
home to write a book on matrimony.
AT this reasoning, however, the i'll
natured world laughs, and SO, in self
justification, Mr.. Cook may feel OBJ.

HURRAH FOR BLAINE.-A special
dispatch to the San Francisco Chron-
icle gives the following extract from
a conversation by Blaine at a public
dinner recently: "Self preservation
is the best creed in the world. If
the free emigration of the Mongolians
is permitted they will soon take pos
session of the Pacific Coast, to the
utter exclusion of the white race.
They are the cause which will drive
white labor from the Pacific coast.
Similar causes drove the white labor
from the southern states many years
ago. Our great troubles thus far
have had their origin in the preiu-
dices of races, and it is unwise to in
vite a repetition of that trouble from
more serious and more dangerous
source. We should deal Justly with
those who are already here, but we
should close our ports against any
further Chinese emigration"

CLAM CANNERy.-Henry Hicks, OF
Tacoma, and Prof. Wells, formerly a
writing teacher in Seattle, have
started cannery at Arcadia, Mason
Co., for the exclusive purpose of put
ting up clans in pound cans. They
are now getting under Roadway and
will from this time on employ quite
a force of men in their works This
is the first cannery on Puget Sound
which has been started exclusively
for canning clans, and as this firm
have at present large orders to fill
their success is almost assured. The
supply of these bivalves, throughout
our numerous bays. and inlets Of the
Sound is unlimited and doubtless be-
fore many years canneries for the
preservation of clans will be num-
bered mong the leading industries of
the Sound.

FROZEN To DEATH.-The Pendle-
ton Independent, of the 9th inst, says:
''One day last week Scotchm an
named John Ross was frozen to death
near Milton. 1t seems this unfortu-
nate man, who was shoemaker by
trade, and had been at work in Walla
Walla, left that city to walk to Wild
Horse to visit some friends living
there, when, it is thought, he lost his
way and wandered around until tired,
then laid down and froze to death.
About $50 in money and notes, and
certificates of deposit to the amount
of 5000 was found on his person.
Deceased was an intelligent man and
much respected in the community
where he lived"

The Indians formerly belonging to
the Malheur Agency, and who were
taken ''prisoners of war" last summer
and have been kept at Camp Harvey
since, are now on their way to the
Yakima Reservation, w. T., hav-
ing left Camp Harvey on the LIST inst.
They are travelling by slow stages, in
government wagons and on foot.
They number about 700 men, women
and children. We learn from an ex-
change that some 40 or 80 bucks ran
away on Christmas Eve. 1t seems
they don't like the idea of going
north. These Indians are all wild.
and very few of them have ever been
within the precincts of civilization.

The Oregonian's correspondent who
gives an account of the hanging of
the Coggan murderers on Jan. 10th
says:
Never can the Indians of the Una
tilla reservation regain the confidence
of the whites. Their treachery has
been proven, and before the coming
summer is over, unless they are re-
moved from the reservation, bullet
from an unknown hand will check
the career forever of many an Indian
that Justice can never overtake. The
boundaries of the reservation will be
a dead line, and the Indian found
outside its limits will be summarily
dealt with. This is the feeling gen
orally expressed by those who suf-
fered last year, and the friends of
many of those who were so barbar
ously murdered will avenge their
deaths at the first opportunity, with
out invoking the aid of the law. The
whites think that the time has come
when either they or the Indians must
90, and the result will be as was very
expressively said to your correspon-
dent by one who has been great
sufferer through the treachery of the
Umatllas, sinister, the whites are
going to stay"
