Miss Emma Thurston, the soprano
accompanying Remenyi, is a Boston
lady, of more than ordinary musical
ability and cultivation. She sang in
the great May Festival, in San Fran
cisco, year or two ago, and was
received, amid the grand array of
talent, with marked favor. She
possesses a voice of singular SYM
pathetic power, and sings with ease
and grace. Kinross, the baritone,
likewise achieved much distinction
at the same grand musical fete.

WE have already referred to the
death of Mrs. DR.. Ella Ford Robin
son. sister of our esteemed towns
man. Mr.. T. y. Ford. From the
obituary notices in the Salem, Ore
con, papers, it would seem that
something more than passing no.
tice is due to the memory of that es-
timablc lady. The following short
memoir, from the Salem Statesman,
will clearly set forth her claims to
the deep regard iii which she was
held by large circle of relatives and
friends: Mrs. Robinson was born
near Salem, November IS, 1856.
She received educational instruc-
ton in her younger days at the st.
Mary's Academy of this place; i'll
after years at Willamette Univer-
sity. She graduated with honors in
the medical school of Willamette
University in the class of ~, being
one of the first lady graduates of
medicine in Oregon. Only few
months ago, she was married to DR..
J. w. Robinson, of Jacksonville,
where they removed and practiced
their profession to within few
months ago. She was a member of
the State Medical Association. and
had consecrated her young life to
that vocation, which she commenced
so energetically and successfully,
bringing many blessings into house,
holds of suffering"
As she began rapidly to decline,
she was removed to the home of her
childhood in Salem, and when it
was thought that the sable messen-
ger was in waiting and would soon
pronounce the final summons, her
brother, here, received a telegram
to make all speed to her bedside.
Together with his wife, he repaired
thither in time to exchange the part
lug goodbye as his beloved sister
calmly and sweetly passed over to
the other side. Here, as in Salem,
the bereaved family have the sym
pathies of many friends.

ONO has recently enacted tramp
law which seems to lay the axe at the
root of the evil. The bill provides
that if an able-bodied man applies
for charity out of the town in which
he usually resides, lie shall be de-
cIared tramp and may be arrested
accordingly. 1t is also provided
that if such person shall refuse to
leave the premises, owned or occu-
pied by the one WHO orders him
away, he shall be deemed guilty of a
violation of this law. The bill pro-
vides that Offenders may be i'm
prisoned not less than one nor more
three years.

The old story of the bull in Chi
ma shop was illustrated, on a small
scale, last Tuesday, in the Courier
office. The irrepressible goat, which
SO persistently monopolizes so much
of the public highways of the central
portion of town, strolied, doubtless,
on mischief intent, into the quiet
composing-room, where a bevy of
young lady typos were busily dis
cnssing the latest style at the City
of Paris store. The CONSERVATION
was overwhelming; veritable mouse
would not have created a greater
sensation, and amidst shrieks that
would rival the notes of the calliope,
they climbed upon top the frames
before them, while his goatship
calmly surveyed the gorgeous dis
play of rainbow tints which were per-
forming such rapid evolutions over
his grisly head. Amidst the clamor,
the boss arrived, who soon placed
the intrepid trespasser hors du COM
bat, when the frightened damsels de.
scended from their perches in a per-
feet futter of excitement over the
startling incident.

OK no theme with which we are
acquainted, is it more safe to venture
predictions than the destruction of
life and property on each succeeding
anniversary of our national Inde-
pendence. The regular annual re-
port has already began to come in
and the accounts of confagrations,
premature discharges and explosions
of cannon and smaller firearms,
serve, in no small way, to furnish the
items of our numerous exchan yes.
We feel inclined to believe that the
time is approaching when the use of
cannon and fireworks on the Fourth
of July, will be regulated by rigid
laws and no one allowed to manipu-
late them except such experts as are
duly appointed so to do.

cause they mistake the true road
which leads to the desired haven of

should be suggested but single
rule of action in such cases, one
modus operandi and only one, viz:
An absolute and unconditional break

q full determination never, in the
smallest degree, to retrosrade. The
method made easy, popularity called
the tapering off, method, is no
method at all, but, on the contrary,
false and dangerous philosophy;
philosophy that has been the means
Of leading thousands into destruc-

were going, repented too late for not
having laid hold of the only and
sure means of safety.

eighteen hundred years ago, how
much more should it be relied on in

no testimony is better than expert

criterion than the career Of those
men who have passed from death to
life, from the realms of sin-bought
slavery up to the broad, bright plane
of humanity and virtue. To say
that vice may be exchanged for vir-
tue by the slow process of gradually
breaking the chains of chronic habit,
is libel on all that is good and
noble. 1t is but an artifce of the
Prince of Evil to carry out, all the
more surely, his own deep-laid
schemes of evil. The young man
who INDUCES in one glass OF strong

time, to become strictly temperate
by taking a glass only every other
day, and SO on, knows not his own
weakness, nor the giant strength Of
the foe with which is contending.

he spoke the word and the clutches
of the grim monster were looSened
Instantly; there was neither rarley

Hence we conclude that it is only
irrevocable determination which can
bring about true reformation.
