WRITTEN IN sPOKAN COUNTY.

Mrs. Whitman. OF Waiia wallis. has
had seven orphan children who lost both
parents during the Journey across the
plains In 1874. They were brought tn
walla Walla by the emigrants who wosld
perhaps could-take them no further.
and DIR. and Mrs. Whitman opened their
hearts and home and took them In, and
cared for them until their massaere about
three years afterwards. Besides they have
three adopted halfbreed children. The
fAther OF the little halfbreed boy was a
Spaniard, who went off TO the Spanish
country. leaving the boy with his mother
She died soon after, and he was lett in

him any longer. so she put him In hole

In a most p:tiable condition and brought
to DR.. Whitman, who adopted him as his
own son. had him baptized and called him
David Malau. The two lit le girls were
born IN the mountains and probably have
parents living somewhere.
In April ls47. she writes about shoes
which were sent from the east to her
children, who were then about three and II
u half and five and five and half years
old. ..rhey have many thanks 10 send
their little cousins for their little cousins

months in a year They usually wear
moccasins ond are obliged TO stay in the
housa or have wet feet"
About the same time she wrote about n
shawl which had been sent in a box from
the Eastern States. She says:

ecutOry contract.
With a clause reserving to the
vendor the privilege in case of non
payment, of foreclosing "all the
rights of the parties of the first part"
vendees, TO which should be added
and allowed attorneys fees to the
amount of three per cent upon the
amount remaining unpaid. II the
vendor had seen fit to foreclose these
rights and keep the land, he might
have done SO, but he chose rather to
enforce thu contract of sale and
brought his suit accordingly. This,
we think, he had right 10 do, and
having done so, his complaint should
have been sustained, and the demur-
rer overruled.
1t is now claimed by the defend
ant in error that plaintiff by amend
ing his complaint after the defend
ants demurrer to the original com
plant WAS sustained, waived his
right to object to any error in such
ruling.
This rule had important excep-
tions and the case we are consider
ing falls within one Of them. The
Judgment in consequence Of sus
tanning the demurrer liz the court he
low was for the wrong party. (Par-
nell on appellate proceedings, pages

Except as tending To establish the

We are of the opinion that all ac>

TuE PREsIpESr.-Up , To the hour
of going to press we learn that
President Garfield still continues to
hover between life and death. AT
last accounts his physicians were Sc
riously considering the proposition
"f removing him, as a last resort, to
try and get him away from the ma
larial atmosphere surrounding the
white house. From many parts of
tho country loud complaints are com
ins to III. effect that the distinguish,
ed patient is being doctOIed TO death.
OF course the condition of the pa
ticnt guages the measure OF blame
or praise bestOwed on those who are
Attending him. lie seems TO be
about as near death as any oGe can
lie To live at all. The only thing in
the way of attempting to remove
him is in the fear that he has not
strength enough left to stand 1t. DR..
Bliss, the main physician, insists that
he would not live to be carried be
ynnd the white house gates. The
most sangnine have given him up
entirely, and it now seems but 4
question OF n few hours, or davs at
fArthest, for the end to come. True,
soms eminent physicians maintain
that it was necessary for him TO
reach the lowest point in physical
prostration before commencing to
rally; and that he may yet be able to
pass the turning point in safety.
The impoverished condition of his
blood, and the miasmatic character
of The air from the Potomac flats,
combine TO render the case almost
hopeless. Anxiety and gloom per-
wade the nation as it waits with
bated breath to hear the next sad
news from over the wires, knowing
that it may confirm their worst fears.
The blow that takes him from US is
the most deplora5le, the most humil-
iating, that ever befei nation. The
assassination of Lincoln was harrow
ing enough, but it was little more
than could be expected from the aw-
ful carnival Of bloodshed the nation
had just passed through; but the act
of the miserable wretch, Guiteau, is
too diabolical to consider without a
feeling of unutterable horror. Pres
ident Garfield entered upon the du-
ties of his high Office under most
suspicious circumstances. With do
ties before him requiring the highest
order of craftsmanship, and with a
training and record that peculiarly
fitted him for the work, he gave
promise OF career more brilliant in
its glory, more valuable and endur
ing in its results than that of any of
his predecessors. His succt ssor may
be a man of conscientious principles,
of undoubted integrity and mental
abilities of high order, but he can
never fill the executive office with
half the acceptability that would
have followed the illustrious chief
tain now lying at Deaths door.

Meditation and toil-meditatio ct labor

some few exceptions, the dogma of the great
historian will be found to hold good. IN 9TH
ing great and durable" says Tom Moore,
''has ever been produced with ease. Labor
is the parent of the lasting monuments OF
the world, whether in verse or in stone, in
poetry or in pyramids" and first among the
sons of toll stands Virgil. 1t was his Gus
tom, Donstus tells US, to throw Off number
of verses in the morning and to employ the
rest of the day in polishing and in pruning
them down. 1t took him upward of three
years to compose his ten short "Eclogues,
seven years to write his "Georgics," which
comprise little more than 1000, and upward
of twelve years to elaborate the "1EneId,'
which he was so far from regarding as com
plete that he attempted to rise from his
desth-bed to commit it TO the flames. Every
line of Horace" bears testimony to the fas-
tidious labor of its author. There are, says
Lord Lytton, single odes which must nave

has himself told us how completely he was
absorbed in it, how it filed his working
hours, how it haunted him in his dreams.

The Thing Talks.

Not long ago. so the story goes, as told by
one of Mahones friends the dminutive
Readjuster was making visit to New York,
and during the course of the day he was so
incautious as TO stand for few minutes,
waiting for stage on the Herald corner.
Frequenters of that historic spot will recall
the fact that it is good place to find q caucus
of Bowery bootblacks always in session; and
what these gamins don't know in the way of
character anddeviltry may as well be left I'M
studied. Malone had not been anchored on
that corner more than a second or two when
the Arabs began to crowd around him and
view the queer specimen with amusement
and awe. After each careful inspection they
would make few interesting remarks about
the oddity of his personal appearance, and
then retire for consultation TO find out what
he was. Words were spoken in the heat of
debate, which reflected on his hatchet face,
his beard, his alleged legs and especially on
the Zouave trousers, reefed in at the waist
band like woman's skirt. The Readiuster,
who is disposed to be sensitive about his
spectacular makeup, stood this battery
about as long as he could; but finding it was
harder to face than Yankee bullets, he
turned on the Arabs and Numbered: sect
