Importance attached to it as measure Of

the British Parliament to do anything

may have made within the preceding
twenty years, or to purchase the
land itself at an appraised value,
to aid which the government lends
the tenant two-thjrds Of the sum re-

first of these privileges has been usually OBJ
tanned in effect by the Ulster custom, under
which the outgoing tenant was allowed to
sell the "good will of his improvements
to the incoming tenant. But neither the
Ulster custom nor the right to compensa-
ton for improvements has ever yet been
1egnlized in Ireland, though that country

The following is an extract
from a letter written by a negro
in Bridgeport, Franklin county,
kentucky, to the Radical organ al
Louisville, the Commercial -
There is pith and sense in what
the negro says to his loyal breth.
Ten:


And while on this subject, lei
me address a few words to our
white brother Republicans. 1t is
In regard to the patronizing man.
ner ia which many of them ap.
proach us on the subject of poll,
ties. They seem 10 treat the
colored people as if they belonged
TO them, body and soul. OF course
l do not include you and other
intelligent gentlemea in this class
but the laymen of the party
many of them. Now / ana a.
ware that this course Is calculated
to do our party harm. / am a.
ware how much we owe the lead
ers of the Republican party
mostly Northern men-but. sm
further aware that we do not owe
them everything. The colored
man knows that it was Northern
slave drivers who brought US. here
in the first place, and only parted
with their property in US when
such property was valueless.-
There was very much selfishness,
also, in our emancipation. We
remember that A. Lincoln pro-
posed in 1868 to sell us cut, body
and soul, to the JEFF. Davis party
TO Save tie Cnion--and we know
how much dearer to US, at least,
was freedom than Union.


81 trust no man who has the
best interest of the Republican
party at heart, will persist in this
course. As for myself, | am
fully as grateful to JEFF. Davis for
my freedom, as am to the Union
saving policy of the Republican
party"


1t will not be long before the
enlightened part of the negro pop
ulation will have a very intelli-
gent comprehension of the real
motives which have actuated the
whire Radicals in their zeal for
negro enfranchisement and po-
litical equality.

W AAAlC SHOWS are II atl1 n q.
The spring time came-the spring time went
With shimmering cloud and shiny Gather
The golden gloIS of june was spent;
On hills and fields we roamed together
We walked through autumn's purple haze
The futures dream of bliss forestalling
And shuddering thought of winter days,


With SHOWS a-falling.
For earth was all so wondrous fair.


And heaven smiled down so blue above it
Each wandering breath Of balmy air


But made US learn anew to love it.
What wonder if with all so bright


And wild birds thro' the woodland calling
We sighed to think of winters night,


And SHOWS a-falhng,
But when at last the world was dressed
In shining robes Of ice-mail cleaning,
And calm white silence lulled to rest
The pale dead flowers beneath it dreaming
Behold we woke to find made true


The hope our hearts had been forestalling
And life grew fairer than we knew


While SHOWS were falling.
All well the days Of youth fy fast;
Their suns grow dim, their blossoms wither
And all the dreams that made our past
Fly fast and far, we know not whittier,
But, when We tread life's wintry slope,
We hear again their voices calling,
And memory clasps the hand Of hope,

How TO BE NOBODY.-lt is easy for
yonng men to lie nobody, and we'll
tell them how to do it. Go 10 the
drinking saloon to spend your leisure
time. You need not drink much now
Just a little beer, or some other drink.
In the meantime play dominoes check
ers, or something else to kill the time,
so that you will be sure not to read
any useful book. fyou read, let it
be dime novels OF the day. Thus go
on keeping your stomach full, and
your hcaG empty, and yourself play
ing time. killing games, and in a few
years you'll be nobody, unless (as is
quite likely.) you should turn out
drunkard or a professional eaml Ter,
either of which is worse than nobody.
There are any number OF young men
hanging about country taverns just
ready to graduate and be nobodies.
Such are they who lounge and loaf
around street corners, public halls,
and church doors, especially on Sun
day evening, to the great annoyance
and utter disgust of all respectable
people.

A capital story is related concern
ing Jim Lane. He had been elected
to a series of subordinate offices. and
was finally sent to Congress. De
feated in a reelection, he aspired to
a seat in the legislature but so slight
had become his hold on popular favor
that he was defeated even for this DO
sition. As last resort, to recover
his waning popularity, he joined the
Methodist church; and, when it was
given out, on Sunday, that in the in.
terval between the services he would
be dipped in a neighboring creek, a
large crowd assembled on its banks
to witness the ceremony. The preach
er waded in with the neophyte and
plunged him under the food. As he
came to the surface, an old farmer in
the crowd turned to his son and ex-
claimed: "John, when you water the
horses tomorrow morning in the
creek, be sure and take them in above

The COUNTRY FOR Poor MEN.-Ore-
gon is the poor mans paradise. Her soil
is the richest in the world, producing
fabulous crops with little labor. Her
timber is unequalled, and as a stock rails
ing country she cannot be approached


Until very lately Oregon has labored un-
der the disadvantage of facilities for
transportation, except in the immediate
vicinity of her navigable streams. The
railroad now in course of construction on
the east side of the Willamette, and the
contemplated road on the west side, will
soon place all points of the State in close
communion, affording facilities for the
| rapid transportation of produce, which
will accelerate all branches of industry,
bring an increase of population, and soon
double and treble the price of real estate.
At present real estate is offered at figures
and on terms at which poor man can buy
and build up a comfortable home. The time
to secure home is the present. This
golden opportunity is rapidly vanishing,
and it will soon be too late to take ad-
vantage of it. But we started out to re-
late cordwood story, just related to US
by a gentleman Of veracity, that illus
trates :he cheapness and ease with which
a poor man may become possessed of
rich lands in this neighborhood. A gen.
tleman living in this city sold tract OF
thirty-six acres, lying a mile or two from
.his city, for seventy-five cords of wood
to be delivered. One fir tree on the land
made thirty four cords, or nearly hall
the total amount to be paid for the land


After cutting the rs cords, it is csti.
mated that there is left timber standing
for over 500 cords of wood, besides 100,-
0U0 feet of lumber Thus, after paying
for the land, the owner has left $3.50
worth of wood and lumber, and So acres
of rich land, which, in few years, will


command good price. And there are

clared that In whatever he did he asked the

sinful to do business while he had enough of

The witness thought it indicated very pecu-

manner. Although aware that the Testament
taught that whatever you do, whether you eat
or drink, you do all to the glory of God"
he considered the testator at least peculiar In
following such precepts.


On being asked by the executor whether it
was considered by him any more peculiar" that

rogate sustained the objection.

testator and his wife should be divorced, and
that neither should, by virtue of the relation
