The Prospect in Oregon.
party.

The political canvass has thus far
beel marked by unusual quietude; but
few public meetings have as yet been
held in this part of the State. The
attempt Of Republican leaders to in
fuse Billingate nastiness into the cam
paign has proven an utter failure.
Underneath this smooth exterior there
is a growing sentiment among the lE-
dustrious classes that a change is ne
cessary. This sentiment and feeling
is making itself heard and felt through
out the entire State. The Republican
leaders, who few short weeks ago,
were quietly reposing behind their two
thousand majority, feeling perfectly
secure in carrying the State without
effort, have awakened to the situation,
and are applying the party lash with
skill and dexterity. They have their
liz utenant, corpo.e' and funky in
every county village and school dis
triet spying out the wavering brethren
and devising ways and means to force
them hack into the fold. They have
their regularly appointed assessors and
tax gatherers collecting the much
needed soap to cleanse the sanguina:y
garment. Should the ratio of change
and disafection amongst the brethren
extend throughout the State, that we
have noticed in our imme liate sur
rourdings their effort will be unavail-
ing. They may swing the party lash
to their hearts content. The indepen-
dent voters will come up tc the poles
on the Ides Of November in such nun.

Republican Ezaggeration.

Some fellow, writing to the Oregon
ian is given to exaggerating facts in
regard to political movements in this
part of the State. We find under the
caption Ct "Biaine aad Logan Club at
Roseburg, - Saturday evening,

notice bad been given, large mum

Now a call for this meeting had been
published in the Plaindealer, the party
organ for the county, for two weeks, at
Least, 1t is well-known fact to every
Democrat and Republican who was
present At the conrt house on Saturday
night that there was not the half of
one hundred and fifty persons there
that evening, counting every woman
and child present, and throwing in the
enthusiastic individual whom the
brethren took and cared for at the
commencement Of the speaking, and
a large portion of those present were
Democrats who left when the speaking
was over. These facts were known to
Oregonian reporter, and the fabricatie n
was intended for political eft CT
Equally glaring was his statement that
"Hon Binser Hermann delivered al

The Black King and the White Pasha.

When Gordon Pasha was taken pris-
oaSS by. the Abyssinians he completely
chelkmated King John. The King re-
ceived his prisoner sitting on his throne
or whatever piece of furniture did
duty for that exalted seat, chair be-
ing placed for tho prisoner considerably
lower than The seat on which the King
SAT- The first thing the Pasha did was
to seize this chair, place it alongside
that of His Majesty, and sit down on
it; the next, to inform him that he met
him as an equal and would only treat
him as such. This somewhat discon-
certed his sable Majesty, but on re-
covering himself he said, do you know,
Gordon Pasha, that l could kill you on
the spot if l liked?" 81 am perfectly
welfaware of it, your Majesty" said
the Pasha. "Do so at once if it is your
royal pleasure. 1 am ready" This
disconnected the King still more, and
he exclaimed, "What! ready to be
killed." Certainly" replied the Pasha;
Il am always ready to die, and so far
from fearing your putting me to death
YOU would confer favor on me by so
doing. for you would be doing for me
that which | am precluded by my re-
ligious scruples from doing for myself
you would relieve me from all the
troubles and misfortunes which the fu
ture may have in store for me-" This
completely staggered King John, who
gasped out in despair, "Then my power
has no terrors for you?" ''None what
ever" was the Pasha's laconic reply.
His Majesty, it is needless to add, in
stantly collapsed.

Marrying Early.

The New York Evening Post says
observation among ones acquaintances
shows the fact TO be that people do
not marry early nowadays, and, in
deed, as q general rule, do not marry
carly enough. In many cases that
event takes place as result of pru-
dence and calculation.
The New York Ledger rejoins: We
cannot agree with our contemporary
in regarding time as so important an
element in marriage. A girl can af-
ford to wait great many years
rather than marry any one but the
right man; while, on the other hand,
it may be wise for man to marry the
right girl as soon as he is sure he has
found her, no matter how early. As
Herrick sang, so he may say to him
self:
asGatier We rose-buds while We may;
Old Time is still a-fying;
And this same flower that smiles to-day,
Tomorrow will be dying.
''Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while We may, go marry;
For having lost bnt once your prime,
You may forever tarry."
Our contemporary speaks OF pru-
dence and calculation in the same
breath, as though each was equally
Objectionable in the selection of wife,
but we cannot go SO far. Surely pru-
dence should be an element in every
matrimonial arrangement.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A joy lender is seldom a trouble
borrower.
Be patient, for the world is broad
and wide.
Our acts make or mar us; we are
the children of our own deeds.
When bad becomes bad enough it
annihilates itself. Perfection in i'm
plements of warfare will destroy war.
One ungrateful man does an injury
to all who stand in need of aid.
He who wishes to secure the good
of others las already secured his own.
The future of society is in the hands
of the mothers. II the world was lost
through woman, she alone can save it,
A man too busy to take care of his
health is like a mechanic too busy t
take care of his tools.
Good nature and evenness Of temper
will give you an easy companion for
life; virtue and good sense an agreea-
BILE friend; love and coDstancy good
wife VI husband.
1t many times falls out that we
deem ourselves much deceived in
others, because we first deceived our
selves.
l hate to see thing done by halves;
says thinker; if it be right, do it bold
ly; if it be wrong, leave it undone

The Bad BOYS Of New York.

"Flaneur" says in one of his New
York letters to the San Francisco Ar
gonaut::
Something is to be done with the
bad boys of New York. Thay are be
coming so obstreperous now that

ted expressly to them. They waylay
men in broad daylight, steal every
thing they can lay their hands on

the streets and whoop them along I'M
till they become runaways, blow shot
into the faces of people passing peaea-
bly, along the street, and disport them
selves in ways that cause them to be
terror to good citizens. Their field
day is Sunday, when the little rascals
meet and have pitched battles in all
the lower wards Of the city. The
boys in the Fourth Ward will kill the
Sixth Ward boys if they can get them
alone, because they know they will be
treated with equal severity if they ven
ture in the Sixth Ward themselves
Every particular ward has its pet enemy
in another ward, and even the streets
are antagonistic. Thus, the Mulberry
Street Toughs and the Baxter Street
Terriers are sworn foes. Their fights
become almost riotous at times, and
look upon the police with perfec
contempt. 1t is easy enough for
policeman to subdue boy and take
him TO the station house-provided he
can catch the boy. 1t is just here that
the vigilant guardian of the peace falls
overheard. The boys are as swift as
deer. They dodge in among moving
carts and cars, creep through cellars,
over fences, around alleys, and over
roofs. They are incorrigible and ire
claimable. The police are just begin
ming to realize that it is from this
class of the city's disreputable inhabi-
tants that the great body of her GRIM

We may not sing like him whose sonSs have
touched the great worlds heart,
But we can for chosen few, perform at best

And we may worship at the shrine Genius has

Can find no counterpart on earth, perchance it

Distance Lends Enchantment.

The sails we see on the ocean
Are as white as white can be-
But never one in tho harbor
As white as the sails at ses.
And the clouds that crown thc mountains
With purple and gold delight, y
Turn to cold, gray mist and vapor
Before we can reach its height.
Stately and fair the vessel
That comes not near our beach:
Stately and grand the mountain,
Whose height we may never reach.
Oh, Distance! thou dear enchantress.
Still hold in thy magic veil
The glory of far-olf mountains,
The CLEAN of the far-of sail.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Baseball making is one of the mos
quiet industries which attract little or
ho attention from the busy world, but
prove unusually remunerative to those
engaged in them. Last year over
100000 balls were manufactured in
this country, and as the makers now
have larger number Of orders than
ever before it is estimated that 1000,
600 base-balls will be knocked into
the great nowhere this season.

The sweetest thiry in yellow was
the recent appearance upon Fifth ave-
