The Cream of Tartar Remedy.

In 1877 well-known correspondent
of The Liverpool Mercury wrote to that
journal as follows: ---n
I am willing to risk my reputation as
public man if the worst case of small.
pox can not be effectually cured in three
days simply by cream Of tartar. This
is the sure and never-failing remedy.
One ounce of cream Of tartar dissolved
in a pint of boiling water, to be drunk
when cold, at short intervals. It can be
taken at any time, and is a preventive
as well as a curative. 1t is known to
have cured in hundred thousand cases
without failure. l have myself re.
stored hundreds by this means. 1t nev-
er leaves mark, never causes blind.
ness, and always prevents tedious ling
ering.

Monkeys.

Joe, a monkey at the London "Zoo,'
could never be got back into his cage
when once he was allowed his liberty
outside. But he had one weakness
that OF curiosity-and the keeper. look
ing down dark hole, attracted the at
tention Of the monkey, who slowly ap.
preached him to find out the cause Of
the investigation. Suddenly the keeper
would start back, and, the monkeys
courage deserting him, he flew to the
shelter of his cage, when the door would
be shut. This trick was successfully
played on him every time, month after
month, he never seeming to learn IL.
Another monkey, 'Miss Jenny" that
came from India, parted her hair in the
middle, smoked real tobacco, and would
snatch half-smoked cigar from visi.
tor and finish it. She would also hold
a bottle of ale with her hind foot, and
take long draughts between the puffs Of
smoke.

Just and Right.

1t is required that the President will

John Porter for post in the army ano
that the confirmation of this nolnina-
zion will restore the General to all his
rights as citizen and a soldier. Ev-
erybody seems to have come round to
IN acceptance of the view that the re-
vision OF the ancient judgment Is just
and right, and ifit is the wrong should
certainly be atoned for in so far as it
can be by so late a correction of an
unjust judgment. Everybody we said
but there is one exception. We
should have said everybody but Logan.
Perhaps we might add Pope. Logan's
position, however, is clear. He is on

cO,RT WEEK..

There Is considerable Significance
in the above words. They mean
something more than tho mere ex-
ira hustle aHd stir caused bs tho In
gress ofa large number ofllligants,
Jurors and attorneys into our midst.
Once II was set down as n period
when justice was 10 be obtained, and
the Court week was long looked for
by many. Now there Is Justice; but
the trouble seems to be In not otknowing
when 1t Is wanted. The Circuit
Court has been In session in this city
this week and In little over two
days disposed of about fifty cases.
Were thoy tried? Almost none of
them. Some were continued but
in many oftae cases there was judg.
ment by default, although there had
been n regular defence; 10 others n
dismissal OF the suit. Some were
disposed OF on account OF defective
pleading's, aRd several wero settled.
AL of this simplyishows hasty liliga'
ton, leaps In the dark, etc., and
while IL Is good thing for tho law
ycrs ii is bad speculation for John
Doe and Richard koe. Who Is 10
blame for premature suits and un-
necessary defcnses. Tho lawyer ?
1t is nice thing TO lay II at his feet
but IL Is fact that IL Is no moro his
fault than the clients, and iprobably
not so mnch. Fired by desire To
win the client mlsstates facts from the
beginning for the sake OF making out
his case, and this Is only found out
when he has fully cooled down. In
another case the lawyer misstatos the
law for the sake OF n case. And 20
II goes, illling calenders with causes
that are never tried. many OF which
could better be settled before than
after brought into Court. II has the
merit OF putting money into circula.
ton, and il Is consoling TO know that
where there Is 50 nucd chan there
Is some wheat.

rOOE EXCJsEi

The ground upon which certain
Southern Senators, calling themselves
Democrats, voted to give Gen. GRANT
ten thousand dollars annually for the
rest of his natural life Is indefensiblo
from ony point Of view.
They said II became thtm TO be
magnanimous. Magnanim0us with
what 4? With the public money
raised by taxation ? That money
does moi belong to members OF Con-
gress. They have no right to give
II away. They are aolemnly sworn
TO appropriate II only to certain speci-
fed purposes; and thoy are trustees
for those purposes alone. TO pay II
out for tho qualification OF n scnti-
ment, whether thai sentiment be
charity or admiration, Is almost rs
bad qs to appropriate IL corruptly.
Nothing can 10 worse, nothing more
opposed TO tho truo princi-
pies OF Federal legislation, than this
misrepresentation Of the means pro.
vided ny law for the support OF tho
Government, and ror no other pur-
pose.
The talk In which those Southern
Senators indulgcd, by way of pre-
paration for this betrayal of their
trusts, Is very much liko that which
preceded the stupondous act Of
political treason in the same quarter
In is7G-'77. II was nagnanimous
then to join In swiudling tho people
out Of their choica for President
and ii Is magnanimous now TO empty
tho Treasury into tho pockets of
persons having no claim whatever
upon tho public money. ~. y S,m.

TgIEp TO LyNCE Fiiii.

On last Saturday night at ten o'clock
seveLtcen armed and masked men rode
into the town, di4mountcd and entered
the Office Of Greenman's hotel where the
murderer Laws was under guard await
ing examination. Justice Wright and
Deputy Sheriff Lewis, with several
others were in the office. The Lynch
ers ordered all to ST. doSn, which was
obeyed. The leader then took n light
from the table, saying, We waat the
prisoner. Come on, Eoys, and weat
into the hall i shot was fired from
upstairs by the prisoners guard about
that time. Lewis was then aLo. by
the lynchers through the thigh, cutting
the femofal artery, aud died five
minutes after. The shot extinquished
the lights in the Office and those pres
ent jumped out Of the window.
Justice Wright was shot in tho arm,
tho bullet grazing his side. The
lyncEers then left, taking with them a
wounded man, who is supposed to be
shot in the head, r. hat was picked
up riddled with shot and n pieco of
scalp with tuft OF hair attached. The
shot that struck him is supposed to
have been fred by Lewis, as gun
was found behind him with one barrel
discharged and he had no arms on him.
1t is hard to say who fired the first
shot in the oflicc. Tho supposition is
that the leaders Of tho lynchors were
from Modoc county, California, where
the friends OF the boy Calavar, who was
murdered by Laws, reside, and that
they were reinforced by cattle men
from Lange!l valley and Bonanza.
There is no sympathy for Laws, but
the killing of Deputy Sheriff Lewis is
deeply regretted. The lynchers were
evidently well informed and knew that
the prisoner was upstairs, and had it
not been for tho rashness Of his guard,
a STRIPPING, no innocent party would |
have been hurt. The affair created |
much excitement, but all is quiet now
and Laws was to be examined to-day.
It is thought an attempt will be made
10 take him while on his way TO the
county Jail at Lakeyiew, which is dis.
ant one hundred and twenty miles
rom Linkville. There is no clue to the
of this unlawful and
,ungling affair.-OreJonian.
