BORN

BORN.
There was mirth in the lowly dwelling,
1 hongh the walls were poor and bare;
For the Angel of Love came down from
above,
And left new life there.
And the narrow rooms resOundcd
With laughter and with joy:
The mother smiled onthe sweet young
chill
And the father blessed his boy.
But round the home on the hillside
Hung heavy gloom that day;
For the Angel Of Love came down from
above
And took one life away.
Aud the weeping sire was silent,
His heart-string rent in twain;
And tho mothers tears, through Doubt and
fear,
Fell like the summer rain.
Yet the world was rich in beauty.
The orchard trees wcre full of becs,
And the birds were loud with song;
For one was born an Angel,
And one was bOru . mon;
And tue bOundless love still flowed from
above,
As when tho world began.-(Springfcld

DEMPSEY CAMPBELL.
A Brutal and Disgusting Prize
Fight.
Dempsey Wins in the Third Round.


Especial to the REVIEW.
PORTLAND, Nov. 3.-Yesterday a
large crowd proceeded from this city
to selected grounds in Cowlitz
county, w. T., to witness the prize
fight between Campbell and Demp-
sey. Both men were in prime con-
dition. The following are the par
ticulars Of the fight;
Round first-Campbell forced the
fighting from the start, landing a
stinger on Dempsey's ribs with the
left and repeating on the forehead
with the right Dempsey slipped
and fell, Campbell claimed first
knock down. Not allowed by
referee.
Round secOnd-Campbell came.up
laughing on the call of time. Again
reached Dempsey's ribs. The men
then gave a fine exhibition Of spar
ring in working for an opening,
when Campbell struck Dempsey on
the shoulder, Dempsey returning
the compliment by catching Camp
bell on the cheek.
Third 'rOUnd-This round started
In favor OF Campbell, but Dempsey
came up looking dangerous. He
struck Campbell a terrific blow
square on the nose, and as quick as
lightning followed 1t up with sledge
hammer on the chin, Campbell
dropped in a heap and lay on his
face for ten seconds without moving,
then staggered to his feet dazed,
blinded and completely defeated.
Campbel's nose was broken and his
faced mashed to pulp.
The refree awarded the fight to
Dempsey. The fight lasted nine
minutes and a quarter. Fully l,5OO
people were present and consider
able money changed hands. Camp
bell entered the ring weighing 1851
pounds, Dempsey liil. 1t was evil
dent 10 all who witnessed the fight
that Campbell is but a mere toy in
the hands Of Dempsey.

One Of the busiest men in the city
at the present time Is Contractor
Whiting, who is not only an old and
practical carpenter and builder but is
also a first-class architect He has
under way, subject to his personal
supervision, Mr.. Beams large and
elegant residence at the corner of
Stevens and Third streets, J. N.
Squier's brick block, corner Of Mil
and Front streets, and DR.. MOrgan's
residence on Mill street, and several
other structures. In every instance
where Mr.. Whiting has been en-
plOyed, those who have engaged his
services are not only perfectly salts
fed with his work but speak in the
most complimentary terms Of his
skill as a mechanic. Mr.. Whiting
informs us that next season promises
to be one Of extraordinary activity
in the building line, and while it is
not for him TO make public the
names Of those who have consulted
him in regard to building, he in
forms us that he has many applicants
and that the saw and hammer will
have little rest during 1886.

THE removal Of the county seat
promises to cut quite figure in the
rOund-the-stOved discussions through
out the county this winter. There
will be warm and enthusiastic friends
on both sides Of the question, and a
great deal of high-pl essure oratory
will probably grow out OF the sub
ject before the matter is decided
finally. That it is necessary that the
location Of the county seat OF SpO-
kane county should be settled for
good no one will gainsay. Under
the present circumstances it is evil
dent that a feeling Of uncertainty
exists among the people. II 1t did
not the question Of removal, or a
fight against removal, would never
have occurred. The Cheney press
itself displays a shaking doubt as to
its permanency, and also as regards
the feelings Of the majority of the
people Of the county on the vexed
question, by setting up a defense
In the mere anticipation Of a move
ment being made to change the
location. By doing this the papers
Of the present shire town show a
woeful lack Of confidence in the
public wishes in this matter If
they were confident that no matter
what efforts were to be made
the county seat would remain
just where 1t Is. they would
have no occasion to rip and
charge around, snd accuse neighbors
Of all manner Of wickedness. Their
actions in the premises show just
what we desire to express, and that
is at the present time and for the
past three years the permanent loca-
ton Of the county seat is
and has been surrounded with
with doubt and uncertainty. From
what we can learn this fear of the
spectre grows out of the dishonest
practices put in use 10 change the
county seat some years ago from this
city to the present location, a course
bound to react upon those guilty of
such acts. The one and only meas
uhe left to decide this contest is to
permit the people Of the county to
express their preference between the
two cities at the polls. So long as
the present condition of things ex-
lists, this vexatious question Ofchange
will come up regularly, and create
discensiOn and trouble throughout
the county. II submittedjto the peO-
pie and q fair and honest vote be
taken the result must convince every
one. Let this trial go On, and If
Cheney wins we are willing 10 grace

A crowd Of boys from the Canadian

In our last issue we enormously
stated that the shipment of ore from
the Old Dominion this month would
amount to six tons. The amount is
sixty tons, some Of the ore being the
richest ever taken from that mine.
Twenty-nine tons of this shipment
is rated as first grade, and will aver
age from $3.50 to S4OO 10 the ton,
while the secOnd-class ore will run
from S35 to 5000 per ton. The richer
ore is shipped to Omaha for reduc-
tiOn, and the second grade to Mon
tana. This shipment will bring the
boys in about $4,000, quite a little
addition to their bank account
J. w. Still, James Allison and DR..
Potter, who have been prospecting
in this vicinity for some time past,
report a rich strike. J. w. Still
called on US Wednesday morning
and showed beautiful specimen of
gray or lead carbOnates. The rock
has not yet been assayed, but it very
closely resembles ore in this vicinity
which has run away up in the hun
dreds. The ledge is reported to be
well defined, and broad. This find
is about 10 miles north Of COlville,
and the proPrietOrs have termed 1t
the New Leadville. They say the
carbOnates are so plentiful on the
surface that they had no difilculty In
picking enough Out to build a mGnu-
ment four feet high. They will do
more work on the deposit this fall,
and we expect to hear Of something
rich.
