approval, ana many were the objects
of exquisite merit shown to our Pa
cific friend for the sole and express
purpose of hearing that magnificent
sentence roll forth from his stentori-
an lungs, while the reporters stood
with pencils poised to catch its pre-
else infection. Then again, objects
calculated to arouse antagOnism and
disgust were purposely planned, to
draw forth an expression which, like
the anathema in Latin, should strike
terror to the soul from its thunder
ing reverberations. Hyas masat-
che okoko tillicum," was thus invest
ed with a profundity of meaning
which we, on Puget Sound, would
consider ridiculously disproportioned
to its literal meaning. He was, like
the Saviour, taken upon q mount,
but unlike him he insisted upon
doing all the talking, and as in duty
bound, Immediately proceeded to
show the inferiority of eastern hill
locks to western mountains, and
after soul-inspiring apostrophe to
Mount Hood, stretched forth his arm
to the sea with the impressive ejacu-
latoin, Mitlite skookum chuck. D
He was shown the fat COW, and after
several minutes of intense thought,
during which time bis eyes were
elongated as exclamation points, he
expressed his profound admiration
by the euphonious expression,
"Hyu HAS muckamuck." He was
feasted literally upon the fat of the
land, so that when filled to safety and
the hope was expressed that he had
enjoyed his dinner they could be
RECALLED with the sight of his placing
his hands upon distended stomach
and complacently murmuring Hyu

knowledge of Chinook. All hail to
the genius which can attain distinc-

SURGICAL CRows.-Mr. H. N. V
Holmes, of Salem, is authority fol
the following: Not long since hi
shot a crow and broke its wing
The next day he saw some othel
crows feeding the disabled one. Ii
a few days more the crow could fly
into q tree; after while it SO far re-
covered that it was able to fly quite
q distance. Thinking that its re
cOvery was somewhat remarkable
the crow was killed, and upon ex
animation it was found that til,
fractured portions of the wing hat
been bound together with horse hair
and had really grown together, ST
that in a short time the bird woul,
have been as well as ever. This is
somewhat remarkable story says tn
Statesman, but it is nevertheless true
and Mr.. Holmes will make an aft
davit to that effect. If all crows az
as good surgeons as the one tina
bound its fellow creatures wing, W
think that it would be proper for tn
State to provide some means for thei
further education.
