The dispatch which attends the Journey
of Ex-Governor Whitealer. of Oregon,
present representative in congress frosa
that state, from his home TO the Federal
Capital, Is without precedent or parallel
In all its incidents it surpasses the famous
lightning drive from New York to this
city, of Jarret and Pilmer, In the CEN
tennial year, when the train sped through
in four days. Governor Wniteaker's
farm is about three miles from the nea
est depot Of the Oregon and California
railroad, at Pleasant Hill, Lane county.
An express train was dispatched for him
from Portland, to reach the depot, one
hundred and thirty miles south, there to
take him aboard and speed with him to
Portland, so as to place him on the stlam-
ship George ", Elder, TO sail the morning
of March 9Th. A buggy was in readiness
Al The depot, for Mr.. Noltner, the editor
of the Portland Standard, who had gone
on the train to bring Governor Whiteaker
A rapid drive was made. The eongress-
man hastily bade his family adieu, was
driven at top speed to the depot, there he
Immediately stepped aboard the train and
the next place his feet touched was the
gans-plank of the steamship Captain
HoIles had steam up, and instantly the
vessel left for San Francisco. The voyage
down was tempestuous. The strong south
erly head winds impeded the Elder prog
ress. Not until yesterday morning did
she reach this harbor. To get to Wash
ington by the 18th, on the regular train.
the start from this city should have been
made Tuesday morning But a special
train had been provided to take the Gov
ernor through. From the steamer IN the
bay he was brought ashore in a small
boat. A carriage was in waiting to drive
him at once to the railroad ferry. Thence
across to Oakland wharf and aboard the
special tram he was taken as fast rs steam
could do it. immediately he was Put
safe aboard the Pullman hotel coach, AMI
away sped the powerful and fast locomo-
tive at forty miles an hour, to overtake
the regular train which left here the morn
ing of the IIth. 1t will be accomplished
this afternoon, it is likely, at Ogden, or
beyond The strange feat Will thus be
among the memorable events of GuVernof
Whiteaker's lie, to tell of hereafter, that,
all the way from his own farm house, to
Portland, Astoria San Francisco, and
through the states of California and Ne
vada, he made the long journey by sea
and land If over one thousand miles with
out ever having placed his foot Oh mother
earth. 1t is an extraordinary perform
ance for statesman, Of one of Whitea-
ker's mould and nature, who has nothing
sensational in his composition He is a
sturdy, solid, practical man, of far more
than ordinary intellectual powers, and
noted for his earnestness in every walk of
life. He will reach the capital in time to
be present at the assembling Of 1he House
next Tuesday This is the all-nnportant
matter, and hence his remarkable trip
overland 1t is not probable that another
Ike it VIII ever be made.-S. F Erdmi-

Ten Ways 20 Hinder a Pastor.

l. Refuse him your money and sup
port This will set him to thinking OF
something else than sermons and souls.
,. Never ask him to come and see yon
then tell the steward that the preacher
has never been to see yon.
) If he comes, complain to han OF the
preacher preceding him, or of the church
This will make him think that the church
is in bad condition, or is hard to please
f. Complain of him to others or crit
icize his dress and manners.
.. Speak lightly of him before your
children or your neighbors; tell people
that he cannot preach.
6. Go to other meetings when he
breaches, or go visiting, especially to some
other family of the church You Will
thus keep two families away.
Z. If You go to hear him, sleep
8. Take back seats when you go to
church
9. Never pray for himi
10. Talk about his family. Expect
them TO be angels and if they are not,
make it hot for them.
If two or three in church Will do these
things, even thoughtlessly, and without
evil intent, the pastor must be man OF
more than ordinary grace and intellectual
force, or he viii do but little good.-Chris-
tim. WOTn
, 1879-04-05
PEOPLE WILL TALK.

You may get through the world, but twill be
very slow
If You listen to all that is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted and kept in
stew,
For meddlesome tongues will have something
to DO,
For people will talk.
IF quiet and modest you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You're Il wolf in Sleeps clothing or else You re
fool,
But don't set excited keep perfectly copl,
For people will talk.
II generous and nCble they'll vent out their
spleen,
You'll hear some loud hints that you're selfish
and mean;
If upright, honest and fair as the day,
They'll! call you rog'le in Il sly, sneakinS way,
For people will talk
And then ii you show the least bo!dness Of
heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your own part,
They viii call You All upstart, conceited and
vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain,
For people will talk
If you dress in the fashions don't think to
ESCAPE,
For they criticise them in a different shaEe;
You're ahead of your means, or your tailor Is
unpaid;
But miud Your own business there's GapSht
to be made,
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do is to do AS you please,
For Your mind, ii you have one, will tiien be
at ease
OF course You will meet wi;h all sorts Of abuse,
Bat don't think to stop them it amt any use,
For people will talk.

Beware Of QuackS!

One OF the lhcnominal manifestations Of
human nature which is the most diffio iit
for us 10 reconcile with human inteih-
genc,, is the readiness with which nsn
ana women Of good Judgment in matters
of ofSeneral interest will place their lives IN
the hands Of men whose ability or Gualiti-
cations rs physicians they have not tho
slightest assurance except the arrogant as
sumptions Of the individuals themselves.
No man OF average sense would think of
trusting his property in so reckless man
Le- Be ore relo iny tust IN an ind.vit-
uaI, he would ascertain with the greatest
care all aloat his integrity and financial
standing and even then he would require
ample security against possible loss. But
when life and health are at stake, inter
ests of infinitely greater value than any
monetary consideration, men who arc in
all other matters shrewd and cautious
show the most reckless indifference 10 all
precautionary consultations.
The almost ri,ersal prevalence OF this
lack Of caution Is the source of immense
revenue 10 qulclss aud charlataus of every
description. Ii is this which leads people
To place themselves in the Lands of traYei-
ing knaves who are rs ignorant of the
mysteries of the human system rs of the
subtleties Of the different calculus. These
self STYLED doctors are Is UnScrupulous
IS ignorant They have no reputation 10
lose, and care only to enrich their puck-
cts The single fact that they are ''trav-
cling doctors, with no settled residence,
is ample evidence Of their incapacity and
unreliabi!ity
Beware of persons who advertise secret
remedies This fact alone is sufficient ev-
ideace Of their unreliability fcf no hon
orable member of the profession Will with
hold from the public amy means which ho
knows to be of real utility i'll relieving
human suffering Such course is con
tr,.ry to the accepted code Of ethics of the
regular profession and any member of
the regular profession who violates not
only the code of ethics but every princi-
pie Of philanthropy and morality, is i'll 50
doing at once ostracized from the society
OF reputable physicians as man unfit to
bear the grave responsibilities of the phys
ician, and unworthy the confidence Of his
fcllow-men. Again We say, beware of
quacks
