A Papoose Killed BY Mosquitoes.

weeks ago, q small band Of Indians was
camping near some willows where the
mosquitoes were very numerous. A
squaw left her papoose in the shade
while she played Pluto poker with her
companions. The game was rather
high. and became so Interesting that she
forgot her unfortunate offspring for sew
eral hours. When her attention was
again directed to the child she discover
ed that it had been almost eaten up by
mosquitoes. They had collected on the
little thing in such numbers that its face
and arms were completely raw from
their attacks: So many had bitten the
baby that 1t died next day from the ef-
fects of the poison.

bells ring out, and the sun. streaming
through the stained-glass church-win-
dOws, falls like u radiant benediction
upon the bowed heads of Steven lIaugh-
ton and his newly-made bride.
And their prospect is of the happiest;
for the love that could keep true,
though lost to sight" for five long
Years, will surely never falter through
the varied experiences of the welded
existence whose fairy portals they are
SO hopefully and trustingly entering.

TIE LADIES xuHr SOCIETY.
WALLA WALLA, Feb Goth 1882.

NALLA NALLA, heb 2Oth 1857
Ed. SrATETMAS:-ln regard to the talk oc-
cssscned by q woman who was an object Of
interest to the Ladies Relief Society. l. As
an officer OF the Society sish you to paLlish
the I towing true business Of the matter:
Our committee interviewed the woma".
who Was anything but modest in her de-
mands; she even refused to eat the food tLat
would BE gwen on the ocean steamer, she
wauted special provisions; she ssked to be
sent to Sacremento On another wild-goose
chase ike the one which brought her up
here, according to her own statement She
had been . resident of Portland tor seven
months. as she told come OF our members, TO
otl ers she stated a much arger perIoi Of
time. Why did she lot address the ladies
OF tine Relief Society OF Portland, who would
certainly have assisted her had they found
her worthy: The woman was not quite as
destitute as she represented TO be; She had
little money and gold watch and chain, a
fact which she denied. She was very i'm
pertinent to the ladies who went to invesri-
gate her case. contrsdicted herself several
times. and. whenever she chose. refused to
answer In Portland. she had taken mat.
ters In Ler own hands, and came up here on
free pass; her request TO send her down
again In the same manner was naturally re-
fused At the time the much spoken of col
lection was made, We We're still waiting for a
telegram from the railroad company. What
course We should have pursued after. is not
kn ,wn by those that discussed the matter So
much, but very likely We should not have
squandercd the funds Of the Society. As for
the food she showed around, the Society is
not responsible for the great insult offered to
tongue and chicken were not good enough;
the best food must certainly have been con-
sumed when Mr. Hopper saw the basket
Mr. Piper had sent worL. to one OF the men,
bers 10 know If she knew Of any poor who
would BE- glad to get SOME meats left from
the Odd Fellows supper, which he felt sorry
to throw away. a few minutes after receiv-
ing this m ssage, she heard that Mr.. Chill
berg refused to board the woman any longer:
size was therfnre sent 70 Mr.. Piper 20 receive
the food. The Society must consequently be
exonerated from this crime, the lady IN gues-
ton IS Wiling TO accept all blame and re-
sponsibility his mistake. Mrs. Miller
can testify he truth OF this statement
and has full privilege to give the name of
this guilty party. Tramps would soon take
ad, antage OF an Institution like ours that
would allow itself TO be imposed upon. We
do not wish to encourage this class, but try
to get nd Of IT, The good work we have
done in the few months since We organized
our Society, has been done in the most IN
ostentations manner, and very seldom any
thing is known Of it on the outside; We are
therefore accused OF not doing enough; but
We have the satisfaction to know that no
worthy person ever need suffer IN Onr com
munity. Let all those grumblers come to us
at any time they hear Of any destitution
among worthy people. and if they find that
We do not do our duty, decry us then.
