LAGRANDE, Oregon, had q FIRE last
week which almost wiped that thriving
little town out of existence. They were
just on the point of organizing fire de-
psrtment, but had not quite mads up
their minds. The fire failed to wire
them of its approach, and consequently
took them by surprise. BY and by this
town will meet with a similar surprise,
and then there will be no trouble to or
ganizs a company. Until we do get
thorough shaking mp, we will probably
dream along in fancied security, wait
ing for some OF the boys to do our work
for US. At the fire meeting few weeks
ago, but one Of the mercantile houses
OF this town was represented. The
others were probably too busy. No
wonder the boys let loose Of tho scheme
In disgust. Such profuss and hearty
recognition as that would force any
one to quit. This article is published |
'olely for future reference. After the
own has received thorough scslding.

'ut this article and remark: 1--WE told

EDITOR CUTTING, the newspaper man
who has been the cause of 80 much dis.
cussion between our country and Mexico,
has been sentenced by the judicial
authorities Of that country to one year.
imprisonment, and fine of 5000. 1t
is asserted that Cutting is most dos
picable person all around, and he I'M
doubleday deserves the punishment
to be inflicted on him by Mexico.
This, however true it may be, has no
bearing whatever ON the case. The
question simply is can Mexico, or any
other nation, cause the arrest ard i'm
prisonment of one of our citizens for an
ofense committed on our own soil.
The personal character Of the offender
has nothing to do with the merits of the
case. 1t is not probable that Cutting
viii suffer the punishment, as Mexico
viii most likely retract from her posi-
ton. The case has aroused considera-
BILE bitter feeling along the border, and
hat country cannot afford to jeapordize
her sAfety for the sake of following up |
her position on this subject.

I'LL.

III.
The KOsak army have set forth on the
march-eght Thousand as gallant men as
ever welded the sword and the lance. The
pOpulace salute them loudly on their passage,
and many maiden's heart follows them over
the frontier.
And now they have reached the enemy'S
country, and everywhere their victorious
blades have made way for them. They have
passed through fertile lands teeming with the
golden grain, purple vines and rich fiOcks,
and like an army of lOCusts have they passed
on, bringing devastation and death, and leav-
ing the country behind them stripped and
naked, with smoking ruins and rifled grana-
rieS.
In vain do the MuSsulmans cry out "Amanl !
Amanp' (mercy;) for the KOsak knows no
aman. Their cimeters cut like the blade of a
razor, and their bullets carry death all around.
The rivers run red with the blood of the
slain, and their cOrpSes are strewn ali over
the land.
And they march onward with their char
lots heaped with rich booty, with gold and
silver and precious stones, with silken scarfs
and cunningly wrought ornaments. Further
and further they advance into the Turkish
territory, further and ever eastward, for sue
cess had made them bold; and it seemed as
though their foes had flown at their approach,
for the land which they now traverse is ST.
lent as desert; they are alone in the vast
steppe, where they neither see human
face nor hear human voice; only the wolf
bowls In the far distance, and the boa Kisses
through the Stunted grass, while the light
footed sumak, the wild goat of the SteppeS,
bounds away scared through the silvery
sznwars, bushes which grow in the steppes)
or the wary bustard, standing guard on ris-
ing hillOck, by its cry gives warning of the
approach of man.
And so the first breath of Winter finds the
KOSaks many hundred miles away from their
homes. Hard frOsts have rent the earth
asunder in many places, and slight powder
ing of snow warns man and beast to draw
themselves under shelter for the Winter.
Kunicki is obliged TO encamp his troops for
while and await the movements of the
enemy. He has chosen deep sOmbre valley
in which to intrench his army, closed in by
rocky heights on either side; and here he
prepares to abide until he gets further news.
The chieftans shake their heads, for they
love not this valley. Is it not justly named
valley Of misfortune? And when did 1t ever
bring aught but woe TO whoever has set foot
in il? No traveller passes this way without
signing himself many times to keep the
spirit Of evil alOOf. But they dare not speak
or murmur against Kunickis will, for in time
of war the Attaman is omnipOtent and his

The room has got heavy wooden beams
across the ceiling, white walls, and wide
chimney place. The woman lras got black
eyes and rosy, curved lips, and waist that
is round and frm. She is young and beauti-
ful, but with the beauty of young matron,
not that of a maiden. She resembles the
rOSn which is open hut not yet OverblOwn, or
the berry which is ripe without being past its
prime. She wants but a smile 10 make her
beauty p,sfrct: but she smiles not her white

In another moment lIandZia, the Attaman-

But short, but short, my dearest l come

once, and then say farewell. Such is the
fate of the KOSak. The King orders me to
