The following poem, from the pen o
Mrs. F. 6. DeFontain, of Charleston, S
c., will touch tender chord in every
Southern heart:

GALLANT JOE LANE.

Joseph Lane died at his home in Rose
burg, Douglas county, Oregon. The de-
ceased was born December IA, 1901, in
Buncombe county, North Carolina, con-
seqently he was nearly so years when
he died. At an early age he emigrated
with his parents to Indiana, where he
was several times elected to the Legis-
lature. While serving in the State
Senate in lS46, the war broke ont with
Mexico. Lane at once resigned his seat
and enlisted as private in the ranks
He was soon elected Captain of his
company, and afterward chosen Colonel
Of his regiment. While at the State
rendezvous at New Albany, Colonel Lane
received commission from President
Polk as Brigadier-General and in few
days was on his day at the head of three
Indiana regiments for the seat of war.
In the Fall of 1S47 he landed at Vera
Cruz, and was ordered to join General
Scott, then on the march to the City of
Mexico. General Lanes march was q
succession of skirmishes, in which he
was uniformly successful. On the 22d
of November he captured Matamoras,
and finally, three weeks later, arrived
at Scott's headquarters. He was sub
sequently brevetted Major-General 'stor
gallant and meritorOus services" Gen.
eral Lane was appointed by President
Polk Territorial Governor of Oregon in
August, 1928. He organized the Gov
eminent of the Territory during the
same year. From 1851 to 1859 he repre-
sented Oregon asa Delegate in Congress;
was elected United States Senator in
1859 an served until 1861. He was NOM
mated for Vice-P President on the Nation
al ticket with John C. Breckenridge
by the Baltimore Democratic Conven-
ton of 1850. On his return to Oregon
in 1861 General Lane retired to his farm
in Douglas county, and lived for nearly
ten years in complete obscurity, only
associating with his relatives and init
mate personal friends. Since 1872 he
mingled more with the world. About
twelve, years ago General Lane lost his
beloved wife, which weighed heavily on
him in his advanced age and with his
declining health. During bis later years
he has taken a more active interest in
political matters, going so far in his DEM
ocratic zeal as to make a speech in this
city during the Presidential campaign
of 1876. He was nominated for State
Senator for Douglas county last year,
and defeated with the remainder of the
Democratict ticket by a large majority At
the meeting of the State Central Com
mittee, in January, 1850, he was
one oftive to prepare an address to the
Democracy of Oregon. He took as
active part in the State campaign last
June as his age would permit, making
several speeches. General Lane leaves
many relatives in various portions of
the State, all honored citizens. His
youngest son, Lafayette Lane, repre-
sented Oregon for one year in Congress.
Shortly prior to his death, General
Lane had his secretary prepare a fare
well letter to his many friends, which
he signed with his own hand, with his
customary firmness. His health has
been precarious for more than a year
past. Yielding to the weight of years,
and suffering from the effects Of several
severe wounds received during the Mex
lean war, he began gradually declining

A Chicago young man broke into the
room of the girl he loved to carry her
away, as she refused to marry him. She
was absent, but left the bull dog asleep
on her bed. The room was dark. The
dog didn't bark, but worked. In about
seven minutes the remains of the young
man came out and said he wouldn't mar
ry that girl for $4,000.

|. Gen. John s. Preston, prominent and
est;mable citizen Of South Carolina, died
on Sunday last. He was born in vir-
ginia in 1880, and in early life married
the sister of Senator Wade Hampton,
He was engaged for anumber Of years
in sugar planting in Louisiana, where
he owned large estates, but always made
his home in Columbia. He. was an
able lawyer ABOLISHED oretor, possessing
many Of the intellectual characteristics
Of his gifted and lamented brother, Will
liam c. Preston. Gen. Preston was once
a member Of the Legislature of South
Carolina, and after the election of Lin
coin was appointed a commissioner to
Virginia, and in February, 1861, made
an elaborate and powerful plea at Rich
mond urging the immediate withdrawal
of that State from the Union. An ardent
and enthusiastic Confederate, he served
CALAMITY during the war. Since then he
has taken no active part in affairs, and
has rarely appeared in public. In per-
son, Gen. Preston was remarkable for his
commanding form and graceful carriage.
"What is the ante I" whispered red
Gulch miner with single 500 gold
piece to the deacon with the collection
plate in the Baptist church at Black
Run, Col. He was told to contribute
whatever he chose, whereupon he said
he'd chip in dollar, and proceeded to
take S19 change. The deacon softly re-
piled that no change was given. A
struggle ensued, the plate was upset,
and the congregation was in the ACT Of
dumping the deacon's claim" when the
minister, an old Californian, leaned
over the pulpit with large navy re-
volyer aud observed ''The brethren
will please take notice that I've got the
drop on them and any brother who de-
clines to go to his seat or who touches
any of that money will have a funeral
at his house tomorrow at 2 o'clock p. IN.
Our mining friend from Red Gulch will
kindly release the deacon's throat or he
is dead man." The S20 gold piece
went to save the heather.

A CLERICAL ANECDOTE OF THE
OLDEN TIME.

An old Connecticut clergyman, once
upon time, while his wife was absent
from home, was invited by one of his
parishioners to dine with him, which
invitation he accepted?
The first proposition made, on enter
ing the house, was, that they stake
something" to which the minister as
sented, The liquor furnished was old
Jamaica rum, and the visitor drank as
was his wont--as he would have drank
the rum he usually purchased of his dea-
cons, both of whom sold it,
Just before sitting down to dinner the
host produced the decanter again, and
again the twain partook. The meal was
eaten, pipes were smoked, and, by and
by, before setting forth into the chill
autumnal air for the afternoon meeting,
the host offered the decanter once more.
The good old clergyman thought he knew
his own capacity, and he drank accord
ingly. 1t maf6 him feel good. The rum
was excellent-smooth as oil-the best
he ever drank. And on his way to the
church, in the chill bracing air, he was
all right.
But, alas! upon sitting down in his
pulpit, with the great box-stoye, at the
head of the broad aisle, directly below
him, sending up its heat of old hickory
wood, the strong rum began to take
serious etfect-so much SO, that the poor
old clergyman could not deliver his ser
mon! His friend, with whom he had
dined, saw the trouble at once; and,
having explained to the congregation
that the good man had complained of
feeling very unwell at his house, he
summoned the assistance of the deacons,
and helped the unfortunate man out
into the open air.
Of course, this made stir: and the
good deacons, feeling themselves called
upon to uphold the morals of the people,
proceeded forthwith to make complaint
against the minister, and to summon
him before the church for trial.
The day appointed for the trial ar
rived, and the minister was called up
on to confess, and, if he wished, to ex-
plain. He did SO, as follows:
"Brethren-I confess my misfortune
but, let me assure you, was led into it
through a misconception of facts. !
took dinner with our good Brother Ar
mold. He, as usual, offered me the
friendly cup, and imbibed as had been
my custom. AS many of you are aw are,
| have been in the habit of drinking
spirit as furnished by our worthy dea-
cons; and knew not, at the time,
that Brother Arnold had another article
entirely. He has explained to me, how
ever, that the Jamaica rum which he
furnished on that occasion was procur-
ed by him directly from the importer !;
whereas, you will remark, l measured
my allowance in the belief that 1t had
passed through The hands Of our deacons!
I can only say, that l have learned
lesson, which / trust will be of profit to
me-"
You can imagine, l fancy the appear
ance of those two deacops on that occa-
sion. Suffice it to say, they did not
press the complaint any further.
But those were things of the past. In
those days wedding without wine
would have been no wedding at all and
your total-abstainer was as rare in the
pulpit as he would have been in regi-
mentals!

SHORT OF GIRLS.

Durango is small but very chival
rous village in southern Colorado 1t has
great many advantages. The climate
is good, the soil is fertile, the men are
robust, but there are no women. And
this is just where the trouble comes in.
The good people ofDurango have, there
fore, issued a heart-rending appeal to the
world-at-large for assistance. They want
girls, and they say so, and this is way
they put it : ...
''wANTED IN DURANGO.
ave want girls. Girls who can get
themselves up in good shape to go to a
dance. The boys are getting tired of
receiving invitations with request that
they bring ladies' They are like
oranges and apples very scarce. We
want girls who will 60 to church and to
bible class on Sundays and the kind that
can draw congregation of the other
sex, and who will take buggy ride at
ter the lesson is over. This will help
the livery business, aud will also hasten
the sale of residence lots, for buggies are
the vehicles in which homes are first
thought of by many people. '... Did.
1--WE want girls who can wait on the
table, and who can smile us into an ap-
petite when stomach btters are impo
tent, and who will make the boarders
regular at their meals. t...s, .-,.-
I'VE want fat and funny girls to make
US smile all over, and lean and frag lie
ones to lean on our arms: and petite
blondes to show them selves upon sunny
days; and stately brunettes, so beautiful
in the twilight.
ave have mineral enough, and plenty
OF coal, and oxide of iron. The only lack
in our resources is those potent civilizers
of their pioneer brothers-the girls"

A friend Of President Lincoln, who
knew him when youngman in Menand
county, H., recently said of him: elm
celn's wonderful power and influence
over men was felt as soon asshe came to
Salem. He was always popular and lal-
ways regarded as authority. He got
the sobriqnet of Honest Abe by refls-
ing to act as Judge in "a horse-race IN
less he was left free to decide the ques-
ton fairly, and not according tor the
'jockeying tactics then in yogues Prior
to his coming the race was won by the
man who was luckiest in choosing a
judge; afterwards the best horse took
the race, 10 matter who his owner
might be. After quarreling for hours
over judges, the owners of horses, who,
had each been trying, perhaps, to get
friend and adherent to act as umpire,
would finally settle down on Lincelns
and then everybody said, !. Now, look
out! This means a fair race, and the best
horse must win.''

sURR AND MRS. HAMII-
T0N.

When on an official visit TO the United
States ins1s53, spent a day Of two at
Mr.. Stuart Brownies place on the New
Jersey shore Hudson River, about
Hoboken. General Taylor, of Ohio was
anothersguest, and as the house was at
no great distance from the spot where
the fatal duel between Burr aud Hamil-
ton took place July 70, 1904, aconyer-
sation arose on the event, and the char~
Sacteristics, public and private, Of the
two men. General Tay1ortold us that
when a very young man, studying at
West Point, he was one day on board a
'riyerbpat, and ameyg the passengers
were Mrs. Hamilton, widow of Alex
ander Hamilton, ant Aaron Burr, who
had returned to the State after his enfor-
ced absence in Europe, in consequence
Of his proved reasonable practiees,
Burr WIS then an old man, but still
retained much Of his former confidence
and manner, especially with ladies' To
the astonishmento Of those who knew him,
on discovering that Mrs. Hamilton was
on board the steamboat, he approached
her, took off his hat, and bowling, said
"Mrs. Hamilton, ! believe! My name
is Burr The effect upon the lady, now
well stricken in years, was electric.
Rising from her seat, she gathered up
her dress, as if to touch Burr with it.,
would be contamination drew herselfup
and looking at him from head to foot,
swept away with q dignity and grace
worthy Of hsr best days, and left him
standing abashed, ifhe were capable Of
feeling SO, before the spectators. Burr
replaced his hat npon; his head, and
slowly moved back to the seat he had
left purposely to make this experiment
upon the feelings Of the widow Of the
man he had slain, for one cannot sup
pose that he had any intention to
apologize or explain, since this was
impossible.

"a NAV coxEDY OF ERRORS. :"

Under the above heading the New
York Times OF recent date, mas an
editorial on the Osnnon-Campbeil
contest for the Utah delegates seat in
Congre ss. The article is such clear
statement OF the case, that We repro.
duce il in tull. 1t certainly exposes
series of b!unders that will some
what puzzle Congress to rectify with
out rejecting seriously upon the hon
elty, capabiIity and integrity of some
body.
The progress Of the contest over he
right TO represent in Congress the Terri
tory Of Utah has been marked at every
step with what seem to be e7asions of
the law. Matters have DOW come to
such pass that nothing but the vote OF
the House can determine whether Can
ION or Campbell shall have the much
contested seat. And, as if to destroy
the last possibility that the controversy
shall be decided on It's merits and q vslu-
able precedent be established, it ia an
nounced that Cannon's side is to be sup
ported by the democrats, while Camp
bell is TO receive the support Of the re.
publicans. It would be bad enough if
It were to be agreed that this curious dis
pute were to be decided as a Nor
mo1, or non-Mormon, issue. But
We prefer to believe that mem
bers will consider the matter soleo
ss one to be unravele1 in accordance
with principles of equity, and in conso-
nance with law and the practice of the
House. In the frat place, as has repeat
eddy been shown in these columns, the
Governor of Utah evaded the law when
. ne gave certificate Of election to Csmp-
bell, the non-Mormon candidate for del
sgste to Congress. Cannon, the Mormon
candidate, had received Is, SOS votes,
while Campbell received only 1857. Il
would be superhuous to go again over
the reasons alleged for the Governors
action. It would be. equally useless to
discuss the question, Does the ineligible
ity of candidate who has received ma
Jorlty Of all the votes cast st an election,
If proved, make valid the election of the
candidate Who has received the next high
est number Of votes? Governor Murray,
assuming that he had right TO decide
this question, and further assuming that
Cannon's naturalization papers were i'm
perfect, gave q certificate Of election to
Campbell, who had received q small mi
nority OF all the votes cast.
This certificate is unique in its
way. The Territorial Statutes declare
that any peraon who shall falsely make
any return, or falsely make any certif-
cate of election returns, shall be deemed
guilty Of a felony. Accordingly,
the Governor gave Campbell a ceFtif-
cate that varied from the usual fern, in
having inserted in it the clause that he
(Csmpbel) had received the highest
number of votes, "being citizen Of the
United States" Cannon, as he claims,
reeeiveda certificate withthis saving clause
omitted. On these two documents the
case went to Washington. Csmpbell's
certificate, as we have seen, was qualified:
aRd to it was attached 8 declaration OF
the result Of the poll, together With the
