The Russian papers contain some
further interesting particulars concern
ing the regieidcs who we're recently ex-
ecuted. On tho way from the House OF
Detention, where tea had first been
served to them, right up to the place Of
execution, a drum and fife band played
all the time behind the two tumbrils, so
that the remarks which are reported to
have been often made by at least one Of
the prisoners to the crowds on the road
must have been completely insudible.
Michaeloff Is said TO have bowed his
head toward the crowd several times.
The same rattle Of drums, without the
flies, was kept mp around the scaffold
during the execution.

TINE NAN WHO CARED Foa NOBODY

This 10 the song the miller sang,
The selfish miller Of Dee:
II care for nobody, no, not l.,
And nobody cares for me-"
he ate and drank, aud worked and slept,
Money ana land had he,
but never = poorer mortal slept
Than the selfish miller of Dee.
The village maids grew good and fair,
But they grew not near his life;
His hearth stone only held one chair
He had no room for q wife
No womah's footstep quick and light
Came down the silent stair
To bless him every morn and night
With kisses unaware.
The village lads and lasses knew
The charm OF the old mill-race;
Oh, what happy little crew
OF made II their hiding place!
But none Of them climbed the miller's
knee
When the evening shades fell dim;
He cared for nobody, no, not he,
And nobody cared for him.
So he lived alone, he had no kin;
And In all the country side
There wasn't mortal cared q pin
Whether he lived or he died.
The women gave him never smile,
The men had nothing to say,
No friend e'er crossed his garden stile,
No stranger wished him good-day.
He lived alone, and he died alone,
So his selfish life was sped;
They found him cold on bis cold hearth.
stone
The miller Of Dee WAS dead.
Aud no one cared to see his face,
No eye for him grew dim;
He cared for nobody, no, not he,
Aud nobody cared for him.
To share our life is TO double our life;
Aud what IL it double its caref
Loving can Tighten the hardest strife,
Loving eau make it fair.
Better to love, though love should die,
Than say, like the miller of Dee,
VI care for nobody, no, not |,
And nobody cares for me-"

He teaches the young mother

He teaches the family mourning
over the body Of the father on
whose brow, the everlasting imprint
Of death is stamped, and the icy
body soon to be reduced to dust is
all that is left of the noble life that
sirewed their pathway with roses,
and who has so twined himself
around the tendrils Of their tearts
that parting without hope Of reun.

lives.
He teaches the f1axen haired boy,
just emerging from the tiOwer-be-
strewed pathway Of childhood and
entering the dangerous channels of
knowledge, IA, heart.broken, he
clasps his dying mother in his arms,
that the promise she whispers with

He teaches the wife, PROSTATE at

grief stricken prayer for mercy to

knows what his duty Is, and means
to do it though the heavens fall
There is an absence OF party color

that the great Office he holds must

The present laws Of Oregon re-

Unless provided with such license,
he cannot get his bitters at any
