SAD.-The City of Roseburg, we are
sorry to say, has achieved an unenvia-
BILE notoriety for good fellowship. A
party of gentlemen from the front,
having first interviewed the paymaster,
came to Roseburg for short business
"trip and we regret to say, they fell into
the hands of the Phillistines. Mr..
Gillhoo!y, the chief of the party, in.
formed US to-day that if he ever gets
sober enough to get to the front he

rapid transit across the continent,
where dangers were met on every
hand, in whatever public or private
venture, at no time did the greatness
of his character shine so resplendently
as when he paid this graceful and WELL
deserved tribute to his loving wife. the
honored mother of his children. Fifty
years of married life! Fifty links in
the golden chain Of time! From youth
to old age they had walked life's check
cred pathway in perfect harmony,
sharing each others joys and sorrows
until their footsteps were slowly ap-
preaching the peaceful shore, where
they soon hoped to rest together be-
meath the evergreens of time To how
few lives are allotted such blessed
benediction. About a mile below
Roseburg, on the line of the o. s. G..
r. r., on the banks of the South
Umpqua, and i'll sight of the spot
where 80 years before was erected
their pioneer cabin, stands the masole-
um where side by side sleep these brave
old pioneers. Long We stood in silent
meditation by the consecrated spot
And not until the golden shafts of
sunset warned us of declining day, did
we cease to dwell upon the scene, the
grand possibilities of life and the eel
tainty Of the universal leveler, death.
How like a panorama the eventful life
of this great man passed before us, and
like turning the leaves Of some long
closed book, passed in rapid succession
the uneventful pioneer life of this
grand and noble woman. The same
simplicity that ever characterized their
lives marks their last resting place A
plain marble slab at the entrance to
the vault on the right bears the in
scription, General Joseph Lane, with
age and dates, and the one en- the left
"Polly, wife of General Lane" while
jet outlined cross tells of their hopes
of another life; and thus together they
rest until the grand awakening of the
resurrection morn. Sleep on in your
dual greatness, while the ceaseless
flow of the ever restless river mur-
murs in mournful monotone and gen
tie zephyrs, in solemn cadence with
the subdued notes of feathered song
sters and the busy hum of midsum-
mer insect life, all chant you a grand
er funeral dlrge than it were possible
for humanity to conceive. Summer
flowers shall swine in garlands DER
your tomb anG winter SHOWS wrap
you in their mantles of purity, while
above are the blue arched heavens,
ablaze at morn with the symbol of
the glory of the eternal, OF bedecked
with the starry diadems Of night and
ever and on, shines the sweet pale
light of the star of Bethlehem point
ing us to the full fruitiou of your
well spent lives.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

At a regular meeting of Laurel
Lodge No. l3 F d A. NJ, held on the
goth day of September, 1882, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty
God to take suddenly from our midst
our most beloved brother Bernard
Pitzer Smith, who has proved himself
true and worthy Mason, tried for a
great number of years, and an honora-
bic, upright and just man, during the
whole course of his life, therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Bro.
Smith, removed from the labor Of this
material life to the more perfect re-
freshment of the spiritual world, we
recognize a dispensation Of the Su-
preme Grand Master, both sorrowful
and joyful. For while it is source of
keen sorrow to his family, friends and
brother Masons to know that his form
will no more be seen nor his voice
heard in sound and practical wisdom,
about the hearthstone or on the floor
of this lodge; and for the distressed t.
know that his generous hand is para
lyzed in death; yet it is a joyful
thing to know that with his body he
has laid down his burden of pain and
suffering, the common legacy of hui
manity, and is now enjoying the pleas
ures of that undiscovered country
from whose bourne no traveller re-
turns
RESOLVED, That this Lodge offer
their coincidence to the family of our
deceased brother who have in his death
been deprived Of the company of
kind, loving and indulgent husband
and father, while we have lost a noble
brother from the body of our Lodge.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
published in the INDEPENDENT and
Plaindealer and copy containing
them be sent to the mourning family.

from the track. Several cattle lying

up as the train approached and one OF

thrown from the rails. A messenger
was sent to Independence for an engine

the dispatches to the associated press,
Sept. goth: The royal party landed
from the Comus at l o'clock, the sal

batteries saluting, and the populace
cheering. They were received by the
Lieutenant Governor, who read an ad
dress. They were then escorted to
Victoria by several hundred citizens,
and the frcmen, military and benevo-
lent societies. At the city gates the
Mayor presented the freedom of the
city and an address, and on reaching
the grand stand 500 children sang the
national anthem and another address
was presented and replies were given
by the Marquis. AS the carriage
passed along the streets to the Govern
ment house the occupants were re-
peatedly cheered- All the houses and
stores along the line of march were
gaily decorated, Americans vieing with
British residents in showing respect
for the visitors The Chinese arch

like a pagoda- The ornamentation
cost several thousand dollars. Across
its front are the words, 'sThe Occident
greets the Orient" The mail steam
ship Dakota and the United States
steamer Oliver Wclcott, lying in port,
were decked with American colors.
Among the gentlemen presented to his
Excellency and tbe Princess was the
