 The Electoral Count-Republican Mem-
 bers Mapping Out Their Policy.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The Republicans of the House of Representatives held caucus tonight for the purpose of arranging the course to be pursued in relation to the cleo toral count now pending in the House. Mir. Frye of Maine, presided. After the caucus adjourned the members were not disposed to give the details of what occurred. When asked who made speeches the reply generally was, ''Well, nearly all there had something to say." No definite result was reached as to the course to be pursued by the members of the House, but 1t was determined to call a joint caucus of Senators and Representatives at an early day. In the meantime it is un- derstood that the Republicans in the House will resist vote upon the pending joint reso- lution. There does not seem to be the slight est fear that the election of Garfield will be questioned, and 1t is believed that sufficient number of Democratic votes can be obtained to so amend the resolution as to make it &C., ceptable to all parties. The necessity of some rule IS urged on account or the peculiar SCaG6 of affairs in the Georgia electoral vote when the certificate from that State is opened. The whole question as to the legality of the vote will come up, and there must be some competent tribunal to decide it. It was remarked among the members tonight as singular circum- stance that while the Democrats were putting hypothetical questions to MT. Robeson to- day no one thought of bringing up the Georgia case and asking him to say who should decide whether the certificate was legal or not and whether the electors in that State had cast their vote as required by the Constitution. All these are questions which the Republicans want to determine, and in the meantime and until the joint caucus can act they will resist the passage of the pend ing joint resolution.
 The Latest Provision for Grant.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-General McCook's bill to place General Grant on the retired list of the army with the rank and pay of Gen. eral created good deal of discussion to-day. General McCook is not regarded in New York as particular friend of the faction of the Republican party which idolizes Grant. He is, however, bosom friend of General Gar field, and whatever he recommends concern ing General Grant may be reasonably SUD- posed to have General Garfield's approval. It is said General Garfield's friends suggested to President Hayes the idea of recommenlina in his message a Captain Generalship for Grant There is little doubt that the bill in- troduced by General McCook will be passed by the House if it is reported fayorably this session from the Committee on Military Af-

That nice girl lived as the HoosIers know,

Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe.
But Deborah by me.
Now I was green and she was gresn,
As a Summer squash might be;
But we loved as warmly as other folks,
aud my Deborah Lee
With love lfIat the 1asses OF Hoosierdom
Coveted her and me-
But somehow it happened long ago,
In the agueIsh west countree,
That chill March morning gave tie
TO my beautiful Deboral Lee:
And the grim steam Doctor Course bimJ
came.
And be bore her away from me;
The doctor and death-oid partners they
In the agueish west countres.
The angels wanted her up in heaven,
tBut they never asked for mel
And that is the reason rather guess,
In the azueish west couniree,
That the cold March wind end the doctor

Took or my Deborah Lee,
Ay beautiful Deborah Les.
From the warm sunshine and the opening
nowery,
And bid her away from me.
Our love was as strong a. six-ho1se

And possibly wiser than We.
But death, with the aid OF the doctor and

Was too many for me-

And Ler form lies cold In the prairis mold,
Silent and cold-ah, me.
The foot OF the hunter shall press her

Aud the prairies' sweet wild flowers
Ia their odorous beauty around it wave,
Through ali the summer hours,
The still, bright summer hours;
And birds shall sing IN the tufte3 grass,
Aud the nect8r-ladsu bee.
With his dreamy hum, on his gauze wings

She wakes no more to me.
An, never more 10 me.
Though the wild birds sing and the wild

She wakes no mora to me.

hand lands with clear titles here are
offered for sale, improved OF unim'
proved, at very low rates. This may
seem strange TO persons far away. Bat
the solution is in the fact that we have
too much land for our small numbers ol
people here.
The Willamette Valley contains near.
ly one half ol all the people of Oregon
--say, in round numbers, $4,000 peo-
pie. More than half of these live in
towns, or are engaged in commerce,
manufacturing, mechanical and trading
business. Hence the tillers Of tho soil
are few, when compared TO the area Of
our valley. For quarter of century
or more after this valley was settled VIC
were greatly isolated--no railroads
and but limited amount Of ocean or
river commerce.
But those days Of isolation are end.
ed, and tho amount Of our commerce
now iS, perhaps, greater than that Of
any people Of the United States, ac.
cording 10 numbers. Railroad facilities
are already supplied, or in process Of
construction, which will render every
portion of this valley easily accessible.
Education, civilization, Christianity,
and the arts of science flourish in our
beautiful valley. Men Of wealth can
find safe investments here in the ma.
mcrous enterprises which abound.

Nr fsaTark Twain's'' two volumes
of European travel entitled 1.-THE
Tramp abroad" contains his esti-
maze of the Olue jay. With his we'll
known prOelivity for modesty the Hu-
thcr presents this estimate in the
words of a certain character named
'sJim Baker," a California miner:
There's more to blue Jay than any
other creature; and mind you, what
ever blue jay feels he can put into
language. And no mere comnen-
place language, either, bat rattiing,
out-and-ous bOok. falkland bristling
with metaphor, too-just bristling.
And as for command of language
why, you never see blue jay get
stuck for a word. No man ever did.
They just boil out of him. And an
other thing, I've noticed a good deal,
there's no bird, or COW, or anything
that uses good grammar as blue jay.
You may say that a cat uses good
grammar. Well a cat does-5ut you
let cat get excited once; you let a cat
get to pulling fur with another eat on
a shed, nights, and you'll hear gram.
mar that viii give you the lock-jaw
Ignorant people think it's the noise
which fighting eats make that is so
aggravating, but it amt so, it's the
sickening grammar they use. Nov,
Pve heard a jay use bad graInmarb1t
very seldom; and when they do, they
are as ashamed "a human; they
shut right down and leave.
You may call a jay bird. Well,
so he is, in measure-becaase he's
got feathers on him, and don't belong
to any church. perhaps; but otherwise.
he is Just as much human as you be.
And I'll tell you why's. A Jays gifts
and instincts and feeling and inter-
ests cover the whole ground. A iay
hasn't got any more principle than %
congressman. 4 jay will lie, a jay
will steal, q jay will deceive, a jay
will betray; and four timeos out OF
five he win go back on his sofemnisk
promise. The sacredness of an oblf-
cation is a thing you cant cram into 2.
blue jays head. Now, On top Of all
this, there's another thing; jay can
outswear any man in the mines.
You think cat can swear. Well, =
cat cans but you give blue jay a,
subject that calls for his reserved pow
ers, and where is your cate Donst
talk to me- know too much about
this thing. And there's yet another
thing; in the one little particular of
scolding- just good out-and-out scold-
/ ine-a blue iay can Law over anvfhinor
Human or divine. Yes, sir, a jay is
every thing man is. a jay can
cry, a jay can laugh, jay can fee
shame, a jay can reason and plan and
Ediscuss, jay likes gossip and scam
dal, jay has a sense Of humor, a jay
knows when he is an ass just as well
as you do-mayba better. If a Jay
amt human, he'd better take in his
sign, that's all. y

as q general thing the farmer is

hired man may cause while actually
employed by him. If he sends him
into his lot TO burn Old brush, and lie,
for any purpose whatever, loaves it
and the fire into your neighbor's lot,
destroying his feuee and injuring his
crops, the farmer is liable for the
damages caused by the wantou neg
lect of his man. IL he sends hired
man on TO the road with team and
he by negligence runs into another

who may be in it, the farmer is liza

lfa hired man, in going to or from
the lot with seythe, and by the
careless handling or carrying he in
iures a passer-by, the farmer is liable
for the damages. If in cutting wood
the hired man cuts down q tree In

trespass and damages, although he

cut the tree with malicious intent.
Should the hired man, from mali

pay the damage, though done con-

these cases the farmer can compel
the hired man to pay him back if he
has anything to pay with; but this
is rarely the case unless the farmer

A PRETTY FANCY.


When handsome fruit is intended
to be shown at fair, or sent to a
friend, 1t will add something in the
way Of novelty to have its name,
orthat of some person, printed indol-
IDLY upon Its surface. This may be
done in several ways, but the COM
mon method is as follows; just before
the fruit has attained its maturity,
cut from tough, thin paper the name
proposed, and paste this upon the
side Of the specimen most exposed TO
the sun. That part of the fruit COW
cred by the paper will assume a diff
ferent color from the other, and If,
when it is ripe, the paper IL removed,
the name will be found distinctly
visible. Upon squashes and melons
names and figures may be indeIlbIy
impressed by slightly scratching The
surface while they are growing.
