swamp Lands.


WASHINGTON, June 7.--Secretarv
Schurz yesterday decided the Oregon
swamp land matters arising in the
Oregon City land of &c, which were
appealed last November by Governor
rhayer and argued by Capt. Mullrn.
state land agent for Oregon. The
secretary reverses the decision of the
several land Offices and holds that the
Oregon swamp land grant was one in
Dresentt, that there has not been any
forfeiture, either as to land surveyed
prior or subsequent to March l2,lS6o.
or whether selected within two wears
from the adjournment OF the le-isla.
ture or hot, and consequently that all
lands i'll Oregon actually swamp must
be certified to said state. This and
the Dennis Crowley decision termi-
mates in favor of the state OF Oregon
all disputes between the United States
and said state, that have been pending
under the swamp land act Of March
IL. 1860, for 20 years.

PALoUsE BRIDGE, l. r., June II.

PALoUsE BRIDGE, l. r., June II.
About two weeks ago it was rumor-
ed in the neighborhood of Camas
creek that the two MISS --s. young
ladies' in their teens, were not pursuing
course complimentary to virtuous
young ladies. THESE slanderous ste
ries came to the ears of the young la
dies and at once they set about to fer
ret out the originator. The source
was traced to the cabin of o disaf
fected fellow, who lives about one half
mile distant from the home of the
young ladies. After celebrating upon
the situation. the two young ladies'
armed themselves with stout sticks.
and without the knowledge of their
parents or friends fastened to The
house of the man who had slandered
them. AS he appeared in sight one of
the young girls knocked him down
18th n stone, and before he had time
to rise the other blackencd bis eyes
with the club she hrough with her.
After giving him thorough thrashins
they compelled him on his Bonded
knees topromise that he never would
insult young lady again, which he
did with contrite and humble heart.
This speaks well for the Palouse coun.
try girls, and has certainly done more
in this part of the country in record
to cultivating the morals of the men
than many years of rigorous preach
ing could have accomplished. SANDER
is of too quick growth in this west
crn country, and we hope every wo-
man who is slandered will adopt the
course of the two Miss ----s.

Mary had William goat,
And he WAS black as Jet:
He followed Mary around all day,
And liked her. You just bet!
He went with her to school one day:
The teacher kicked him out
1t made the children grin, you know,
To have that goat aboxa.
But though old Whack'em kick'd him out,
Yet he fingered near.
He waited just outside the door
Till Whack'em did appear
Then William ran to meet that man:
He ran his level best;
He met him just behind, you know
Down just below the vest.
Old Whack EN- turned a somersault:
The goat stool Oh his head,
And Mary laughed herself so sick
She had to 60 to bed.

MRS. HANCOCK.
The Future Lady OF The White
air. aol House.

New York Graphic.l
Mrs. Hancock, the wife of the gen.
eral, is a few years his junior in age,
and, as woman, is as imposing in ap-
pearance as he is as a man. Tall and
we'll proportioned, with most win.
some smile, manner that pats you at
your ease at once, and pair of eyes
that animate every line of handsome
face, she is still a beauty, although
her hair is becoming streaked with
gray. She was married when
the general was but young
lieutenant, doing duty in
the far west. 1t was entirely a
lOye-match, and neither of them has
since regretted it. In fact, their home
is one Of the happiest imaginable.
Mrs. Hancock has always been op-
posed to her husbands becoming a
candidate for the presidency, and She
is even above the weakness Of wishing
to be the mistress of the White house.
She breads the worry Of the canvass,
and if her husband is elected she
thinks that the honor which the
position brings will be dearly pur-
chased by the remuneration of all
domestic life for four years to come,
and of his position as senior major
general and chances of soon becom-
ing chief Of the army. While she
prefers her own home existence. how
ever, there Is no one better qualified
to play the hostess on grand scale
than she. A society belle, even after
her marriage, she has all the self
confidence and resources needed to
entertain the most varied company.
There is nothing in the range of con
versation about which she does not
know something Her greatest charm,
however, is-and it is the general s
also-the art Of making every indi-
vidual atom feel as if he were the one
sole object of her attentions. AS an
off Ger. of the Governors island garri-
son expresses it, rSheis Airt enough
tomake every one feel that he would
gladly die for her."

CHIEF Athy, over his own name,
declines to come before the demo-
cratic convention as a candidate for
sheriff. He has acted in good faith,
and will not even avail himself of the
generous offer of Sheriff McGowan to
reopen the question and rescind the
entire arrangement as far as it has
gone. This is quite creditable to
both these gentlemen, and we fail to
see any cause for the rumpus
which has been kicked up.
The fourteen gentlemen who acted
for MeGowan and Athy did so at their
request. They did not undertake to
make a sheriff" as some assume, but
merely to arbitrate the claims Of two
worthy gentlemen, who did not care
to 20 through the worry Of a contest
in a convention. The threat to bolt
is not likely to como from any good
democrat, but bad feeling is encOur-
aged by some who hope to see the
party permanently disrupted. Had
Captain Athy been kept on the track
either by this committee or a eOuyen-
ton, the friends of McGowan might,
with the same propriety, threaten to
bolt. M

Allesan tMichigan) Journal.l
The freedom Of the press has been

case against the Gratiot county Jour
nal. The plaintiff sought $4,000 for
his damaged character from the edi-

dare to publish the truth to subserVe

may justify,
