The Happy Family.

On the line of ditch for Dalles City
water works, opposite Mr.. Denton's or
chard, few yards east of the fume, in
the sheltering branches of an oak>tree, a
family of three resides. They are ap-
parently happy regardless of the intru-
sion of the workmen employed on the
ditch. A few days ago the Oregon
Bridge Co., of Portland decided to con-
struct temporary blacksmith shop at
the base of this tree. A portable forge,
wise and anvil were soon in place. Some
of the limbs had to be sawed of. to af-
ford working room. While engaged at
this work one of the employees discovered
the happy family ensconced ina branch
of the tree, about four feet from the
ground. Too much work had already
been donesto vacate the premises now, i,
yet it was self-evident that trespass
had been made. Every one, conceded
the prior right of the feathered family,
yet it was noticeable that the encroach-
ment on their rights did not concern
them. The blacksmith commenced to
blow his bellows, and soon began to
hammer his steel upon the anvil. The
music he made seemed to charm, rather
than disturb them. sAs gentle as a
dove'' is familiar comparison and any
one visiting the temporary abode OF
this little turtle dove with her fedgings
| will appreciate the fitness of the above
quotation. She sits there nearly all day
! the very picture of gentleness. One can
almost stroke her plumage and not feel
that he was annoying her. 1t is spec
ial pleasure to observe her devotion tc
her little family AID those having seer
| her brave the sparks and stand the dir
OF the ANIL in this rural blacksmith
shop, without fiinchipg, or attempting
to desert her young ones, will be slow tc
! boast of the so-called courage and devo
ton of the human family hereafter
Woe be to the small by who would at
/ tempt to rob that nest, as the black
smiths strong arm has been won ovel
by that little turtle dove through hel
brave and gentle disposition. Young
ladies', no doubt, could win strong arms
in the same way, but it will be very
hard to make turtle-doves out of some o
them. COMMUNICATED.

Our vaulting Prosperity.

We are scarcely aware of our own pros
perity. From statistics lately compiled
by one of the great commercial journals
of the country, it appears that the total
wealth of the United States is now more
than $71 200, 900 900, or about $1,000 for
each man, woman and child in the en-
tire country. This is an increase of $18,-
600, 900 900. or about 42 per cent. within
the last ten years. According to the
last accredited statement this gross
amount exceeds England's wealth by
about $21, 900, 100000 and amounts to
about twice the total wealth of the re-
public of France. In the matter of
taxes, England exacts an average OF $40
per head from each of her entire popula-
ton, while the average tax per individ-
uaI paid in the United States (where the
farmer and mechanic are better paid,
better clothed and better fed than their
European neighbors, is but $3.50.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 9.-The steamer
Alameda arrived from Australia this
morning, bringing particulars of the
overiowtng of the banks of the river
Yarra at Melbourne. Over 1000 people
were rendered homeless, and there is
much sickness and destitution among
them. The damage caused by the flood
amounted to over $2,000,0O0.
The bark Compadre, from Chill, with
a cargo of bags, was totally wrecked on
Auckland island. The crew was saved.
Fire broke out in her hold, and two days
later terrific gale arose, which sent
her ashore on the rocks.
The Auckland Star of July 18th says
the tidal food which prevailed at Mel
bourne July 18th has subsided. The
food was the most severe since 1862, and
and lives lost. The steamer Bancera
went ashore and was badly damaged,
with little prospect of getting her off.
The course of the Yarra river presented
scenes of desolation for miles, factories
being submerged, farms washed out, and
much other property destroyed and
damaged. In the suburb of South Rich
lnond whole streets were submerged
and oyer two thousand people rendered
homeless. The latest estimate of the
losses was 50, SOC, 900. Much sickness is
attributable to the exposure and depos-
its of filth from floods at Melbourne and
vicinity.
