SOME SQuAsH-Louisiana may be great State,

and cotton plants, her fine women and brave men,
but she must knock under to Minnesota in the
matter of squashes. That state has produced the
most illustrious vegetable of the kind on record,
G. @. Spotswood, the postmaster at Lake City,
raised in his garden the past season squash seven
feet and four inches in length six feet nine inches
in circumference, and hundred and seventy seven
pounds in weight. If they would only get up an
electoral ticket, we have no doubt that squash
would poll large vote for President in Minnesota,
dividing the popular voice with that other squash
head, Abe Lincoln, who considers dexterity in
splitting rails as fee simple to the Presidential
chair. -..

A TRuANr WIFE REooyERED.-Rev. Lewis Price,
whose wife deserted him some time since and took
refuge in the "Agapemone, or Abode of Love- in
England, place similar to those which prurient
philosophers in this country have setup has sought
to rescue her, and has used all the available ma
chnery of the law, with final success. He obtained
possession of his errant spouse, but she was not
content, and sued out a writ Of habeas corpus
against her husband, who was summoned before
Baron Wilde to show cause and by what authority
he detained his wife in close custody, and refused
her permission to return to the "Aboae of Lovcs
and join Brother Prince and other inmates The
Baron heard the evidence and then decided that
the home of the wife was with the husband until
she obtained a legal separation" He ordered Mrs.
Price to be returned to her husband, who had o
right to have possession of her, SO long as there
was no violence.

1t is supposed that Mr.. Parker was a
sworn foe of intolerance. We believe he
was, and we are inclined to think that tn,
world is, on the whole, less intolerant to-day
for his having lived in it, and spoken to it
But his intolerance of intolerance was the
most intolerant of all the intolerance of the age
He was chronic denouncer, and the most
bigoted opponent of bigotry known to his
generation. Perhaps this may be explained
on the general principles of human nature
1t may be said that men with strong convic-
tions, quick sensbilities, and impatient wills.
are always vehement denouncers-always in
tolerant, perhaps. Explain it as We may.
however, We do not admire the bigotry that
denounces bigotry, nor the intolerance that
finds intolerance only in the world around it.
We take it that model Christian suffers
long, and is kind" Mr.. Parker assumed to
be teacher of Christianity, or something
quite as good-possibly better-and before
We endorse him as an ideal man, We are to
satisfy ourselves whether what he believed
to be the sinful errors of the world excited
in him more of sorrowful pity than of angry
contempt.


MIR. Parker belonged to class of men
who talk great deal about "the love of the
great Father" and the "law of love-" and the
brotherhood of humanity" and so forth and
illustrate their principles by hating everybo-
dy because everybody does not love everybo-
dy. Now the love that gushes freely at the
tauch of an unknown negro, and congeals
under the glance CT an orthordox neghbor
may be an excellent article, but we don't like
it. We Go not believe we do any injustice
to Theodore Parker when We say that, how
ever loving he may have been, he did not
love his enemies. If he did, he used strange
words for the expression of his affection, and
took strange ways Of showing it. 1t is not
too much to declare that he regarded those
around him at difference with his creed as
mainly hypocrites, for he used no soft words
in expressing his convictions upon that
point.


Theodore Parker had mission, and he
has fulfilled it, We hope. We think that on
the whole, and in the long run, his mission
will prove to have been beneiicient
one. He did much good he did some evil
The evil will be swept away. and the good
will remain !; but he did not leave charac-
ter above criticism, nor the record of life
that many smaller men than he could not a.
mend. SO let's not canonize him.

The Richmond Dispatch chronicles ro-
mantle story, derived from gentleman for
many years engaged in the prosecution of
military claims, who obtained the particula RS
from a descendent of the parties that form
the subject of the narrative. Early in the
revolutionary war man named Lane enlist
ed in a company raised at Manchester. Va.
to serve three years. The company went
North and joined Washinston's army. lax
ing part in all the previous battles, Lane was
severely wounded at Brandywine or German
town, and during the battle and after, was
taken care OF by brother soldier to whom
he had become greatly attached, and who be
longed to the same company as himself. the
term of service having expired.these two sol
dierS were discharged and returned home
devoted and inseparab!e friends. In the
meantime the tide Of war rolled on to the
South. and they again enlisted TO serve in
Gen. Lincoln'S army, at that time engaged
in the siege Of Savannah. At that siege they
did their duty bravely. At last Lanes COM
rade was wounded in turn, and was carried
off the field in the arms of his devoted friend.
While under the care Of the surgeon it was
discovered that his brave and tender com.
panion was woman. 1t appears that she
had formed a strong attachment for Lane
whom she accidentally met, but made SO lit,
tie impression upon him that he did not re-
cognize her when he aft terward met her dis
guised as soldier She was in despair when
Lane enlisted, and under the inspiration of
affection she fled from her parents. donned
the Continental uniform and followed him
to the wars. What ensued was proper f.
male to such romance. The wounded wo,
man recovered, and as soon as the twain
were released from captivity they became
one. They lived many years very happily
together, and left several children. Both the
man and his wife received pensions until
their decease, for services rendered as sol.
diers.

Men who have for many years been trim
ming their course for the presidency, are
careful of their public utterances, and try al
ways to say the right thing in the right place
that at the right time it may be brought out,
and made to tell toward the grand result
Abraham Lincoln has always been so far a.
bove the suspicion Of having designs upon
the White House, that his letters and speech
es have been allowed quietly to fall into the
burial of old files, if we except the speeches
made in the celebrated Senatorial campaign.
Of coulse everybody goes to looking up the
new candidates record, and the special sub
ject of marvel is that a mar who has not
aimed at the presidency could possibly have
written and said at the various points of his
political life, exactly those things which give
him strength to-day, and 60 to show him the
most perfect representative of the Republi-
can platform of 1860 there is in the country.
Neither he nor his friends could desire
to chanSe his record at all. 1t shows him as
a Wing, the same anti-savery man he is to-
day, and proves that he has been guided in a
straight course by principles thoroughly seat
ed in his life.


While in Congress, his votes upon the
questions growing out of the Mexican war
were always on the side Of freed om and with

Mexican war question has been found in his
Congressional record. 1t seems that Messrs

and misses the kindly voice which was wont
to greet him. AT the table, the vacant seat
speaks eloquently in praise of the absent,
and the manly heart can scarce repress a
sigh as he remembers that his home is hers
no more.


| How oft does the words, ''till death do
US part" foated carelessly on the sisters
ears in seasons of festivity and rejoicing,
awakening no emotion in their bosoms.-
Now it brings strain of reflection which
unseals the fountain of tears, and the pent
up feelings so long represscd, burst forth in
passionate sobs. Fond memory recalls the
hours of childhood when, in loving compan-
ionship, they engaged in the same sports,
and shared the same duties, with one who no
longer enhances the enjoyment of the one by
her genial smile, and lig ghtens the burden Of
the other by cheering word. They real
ize, as they could not before, "the wealth
and worth" of that love she has pledged, and
the stability of that truth she has plighted
to the husband of her youth, "till death do
us part" and with the solemn words, a
prayer is waited heavenward, that when the
hour of separation does come, and the tolls
of life are ended, they may be accounted
worthy to enter upon 1.-THE rest that re-
mains," and be reunited,


"Where marriage vows are never spoken,


to part no more, no more forever!


There's an unwonted tenderness in the
tones of the little brothers as they speak of
their "sister" Their cadences are soft and
low, as if it were proclamation to utter that
beloved name in scarce audible voice.
They miss her caresses and sisterly Offices
as they return home from school or from
their street sports, and their mirth is chas-
tened by the thought that they hear no more
her words of welcome


Yes. in spite of all our efforts, the shad-
ows will creep around our hearts and the
darkness will gather over our homie, although
we know our loved one is basking in the ra-
dance of an affection purer and holier than
parents, sisters or brothers can bestow.--
Nature has donned her most gorgeous robes
in honor of the bridal, but over the enchant-
ed circle Of home broods .'the spirit of heavi-
ness" The sun is pouring his beams over
the earth, but they linger not on the dark
ened threshold. The voice of music is elo-
quent without, but ours are tuneless, and
there is no heart response to the echoes that
they awake. Oh there is sadness in the
marriage of the first born.


But there is joy also in the marriage Of

The Shasta Courier. with more brass than pru-
dence, takes us to task because we said Cox
Stevenson was not carrying out the wishes of
the people OF Tehama County when he gave no.
tice of bill to abolish the office of Adutant
General. Now if the Courier will attend to the
wants of Shasta County, and the member from
there, he will oblige u.s. aad we will try and
steer our own ship without his advice and give

Our neighbor is not the first editor who has
gotten the idea into his head that he was the
people of his county. 1t is a mistake that usu-
ally, as in this case, makes the victim of the
halucnation appear to disadvantage. We
doubt whether the people of Tehama county
wish to retain an unnecessary office simply be-
cause the incumbent thereof performed the du-
ties thereof satisfactorily. There is no sense in
such reasoning. The Secretary of State can
easily perform all the duties of Adjutant Gen.
eral, we think, and have thought and said for
several years. We have nothing against Gen
Kibbe. We esteem him as highly, perhaps as
the Beacon. But we think his Office is a useless
thing.


As to giving the Beacon advice, we meant no.
thing of the kind. We know the editor too well
for that. Nothing gives a man, big in his own
conceit," mortal offense so soon as advice-for
that implies, don't you observe, that such per-
son don't know it all''-and the "seven wise
men," concentrated into one, would be fool to
the editor of the Beacon-in his own estima-
ton. Nevertheless, he must get rid of the idea
that our friendship or editorial privileges are
circumscribed by county lines We are perhaps a
better friend to Col Stevenson than is the Bea-
con, and the editor can be assured, that We can
and will apply the pen-lash to his back every time
he attempts it unjustly upon the back of any man
we call friend. We may not possess SO much
ability as the editor of the Beacon thinks he
possesses, but we will make up for this def
cheney in earnestness.
