As the steamer Maria Wilkens was on her way from Freeport to Kalama, says the Portland Oregoaian, she sighted a deer in the river about mile below the latter place. When first seen he was about one-third of the way across, and striking out boldly for the Oregon shore. The steamer was headed for him with all haste, and there being no firearms on board except a small pocket pistol, it was decided to try and capture him alive. A moose was made in rope and thrown as the boat approached, but missed the game. The deer whirled and made for the Washington Territory side, which was the nearest, but Captain Huntington turned the little steamer in fine style and headed him off. The chase now became exciting. A second time the ropes were thrown unsuccessfully, and the deer, though making prodigious efforts to reach the shore, was third time overhauled. This time both ropes caught on his horns, and after desperate struggle he was hauled on board and se curely fastened, but one horn was broken off in the struggle. He proved to be a four-year-old buck, and in fine eondi- tiOn

The Detroit Post says: Bob Black hawk, the colored man who attempted the novel and difficult feat of standing upon the head of common barrel and constantly rotating, or turning round, for twenty-four hours. completed his task. During the entire time he was watched by two men, who relieved each other at intervals of six hours. They have made affidavit that the feat was honestly accomplished. Blackhawk com plained of slight soreness in his lower limbs and in the back, the result of his cramped position, but otherwise felt no fatigue or inconvenience. It must be re- membered that he was without food or drink during the entire time that he was upon the barrel. When Blackhawk completed his feat he asserted that he could just as well have remained twelve hours longer.

The Editor and Manager OF the IR1'
BusE, believing it to be duty he owes
to himself and associates, des Tres to
apo,oe,ze to Gen Belknap for the in
suit put upon him on his arrival at Bis
marck, through the medium Of the TR1'
BuNE lob rooms. He can only say that
had be been at home no consideration
would have tempted him to lend type
and presses to the printing Of the mat
ter in question. 1t matters not what
the motives of those who prepared the
matter were, or what their view Of its
probable effect was, it was gratu'
jtous insult to Gen. Belknap and party,
for which all who were in any meas
nre connected with it ought to be heart
i]y ashamed. Gen. Belknap, one Of the
chief officers of the nation, was here
on duty, and during the few moments
ha was in Bismarck he should have been
treated as its guest; but instead he was
met at the boat with insult and again
on his arrival at the hotel-not by the
citizens of Bismarck it is true, but by
irresponsible parties who were only
able to accomplish their ends through
the medium of the TRIBUNE job rooms
hence the necessity for this apology.


1t is possible the poster, or pro-
gramme, as it was called, was intended
onlv as an advertisement for the "Hole
in the Wall;" and its production may
seem smart to those who are mere
lockers on, but to those who are par
ties. and the TRIBUNE became one
through printing it,the affair wears diff
ferent aspect; While Bismarck AZ
town may not suffer for the indignity put
upon the secretary. every citizen who
has any respect for himself must feel
that Gen. Belknap instead Of leaving Us
with pleasant memories Of hospitaii'
ties extended has cause to shake the
dust from his feet on leaving town
which greeted him only with insult.


The TRIBUNE deeply regrets the part
it's lob rooms had in the matter, and its
publishers will see that hereafter no
citizen, however humble, shall have
cause to complain of like treatment.

THE proprietor of the Jackson

ent outsides :"


1--WE will in the future print our
paper entirely at home. Before We
assumed control of the Courier-Her-
aid it had been published under the
cooperative plan, and we have contln-
ued it to the present time. The name
has been published in the list of CO.
operative papers. and this is sufficient
reason for changing the name. The
cooperative agencies have so much
reduced the usual rates of advertising
as to utterly demoralize the business
abroad, and almost entirely exclude
the patent outside" papers from the
benefits of foreign advertising. Ad-
vertisers are furnished with the lists
of the cooperative papers throughout
the country, when advertising is
solicited for them, the solicitor
is politely informed that they can
advertise on the outside of his paper
far one-fourth or one-tenth the usual
rate. The reading matter furnished
on the cooperative plan is excellent,
but the man who publishes paper
with patent outside" can never be
anything more than laborer for a
small share OF the profits with all the
responsibility to carry. Judging from
our own experience, there are few
publishers who use the cooperative or
patent sheet from choice, and we sin
cerely hope that the present plan of
running publishers through their own
columns will be displaced by some
method which will give them a voice
in the control of the advertising on
both sides of their papers. 1t Is use
less for publisher to think about in
dependence of success in journalism
while rich monopoly inserts adver-
tising on one side of his paper at starv-
ing rates, aud publishes them at his

Kind reader, the foregoing humble
tale is intended to convey with it a
moral. You must acknowledge that
the noble king acted Justly and gener-
ously with his beloved and beautiful
daughters, and unless you have a heart
of stone you must know that no noble
and generous father will condemn to
endless punishment and woe the be-
loved children of his bosom who have
without hypocrisy or deceit, tried to
obey his will and whose little errors,
though many, have been of the head
and not of the heart.


Then when you know this, why will
you continue to insist that man is more
magnanimous than God? Why will
you continue to predict for your broth
er and sister endless woe in the great
hereafter, because they do not construe
the meaning of the instructions given
them as you do? Did it never occur
to your mind that possibly they might
be right and you wrong? Why will
you continue to profess to be judge
of what is right and what is wrong,
when you know that you have judge
who claims that entire privilege, and
one who knows the law better than
you?


Would it not be best for you to act
the part of the generous sisters and
concede to your brother the same
privilege of construction, in regard to
the meaning of the holy word of God
as you expect for yourself, especially
when you know that brother to be, as
well educated and as intelligent and
with as much opportunity for learning
and studying it as you have.


In conclusion, gentle reader, permit
me to ask you one more question, which /
you may answer to yourself in silence
and l will leave you to your own



Would it not be best, when you see
an earnest and true hearted brother or
sister of a different denomination from
yourself striving to gather in what they
sincerely believe to be the most ac-
,eptable fruits and flowers, for you to
aid and encourage them in every way
that you can, in kind and gentle man
1er, ever hoping that others, as well as |

In doing so, you will certainly not

Marks pastor Of the church, who in general
manner spoke Of the public life of the deceased,

usefulness spent among this people. Begin
ming with his settlement at Dover, he traced the
successive steps in the rise of Judge Hall in the
esteem of his fellow men, and passed from these
to a contemplation of his life protesting
Christian.


At the age of AZ, Judge Hall connected him.
self with the Church, and at once became an
ardent, Jealous laborer in the vineyard of his
Master. Among the prominent acts of this
portion Of his life, Mr.. Marks spoke
Of a pamphlet addressed by Judge Hall to the
bar of the United States, wherein he exhorted
the members to a deeper interest in personal
salvation, applying his own experiences to their
needs. Prior to this time the Judge said, in
general in his pamphlet, that he had devoted
too much to the study of his profession aud
too little to the salvation of his own soul.
He also counseled the abandonment altogether
of the study of law cases oil the Sabbath. AS
church member, Mr.. Marks proclaimed Judge
Hall prompt, faithful, Jealous in good works, and
finally commended his example to the young
especially.


The church was we'll filled, there being large
