OUR SUNSET ON THE HILL.
The wind's low voice was silent.
The whispering trees were still,
When last we watched the suusot. love,
Our sunset on the bill.
You said its glow was shedding
Its crimson on m.v cheek.
And that my hair was tangled in
Its last, great golden streak.
Then, in some sadden impulse,
You drew me to your heart,
As if *twere heaven to hold me so.
As if 'twer. deatli to part.
Low sank tbo sun ai.d lower.
And dark began to creep;
It stole the gold from out ray hair,
The crimson from my cheek.
Yet there together standing.
With hand now clasped In hand,
We vratebed the solemn night descend
O’er all the quist land.
I called your eyes the starlight,
Because the sun had dowu—
(How selfish to be wanting, dear,
A starlight of my owu.)
And then, like happy children,
Still clasping hands we went.
With love's too slow, unwilling steps,
Ailown the bill’s descent.
0, life's one golden evening !
I live to bless it still,
When last we saw the sunset, love,
Our sunset on the hill.

Fort Klamath, Oregon, Oct. 3,1873.
A horso race anil a hanging are two of the
most popular amusements that can possibly
take place iu the iuterior of any of theso Wes
tern States, und people dock from ail sections
of the country to be present at these social
gatherings. Oregon is especially sociable in
this way, and puople kept arriving here yes
terday from all sections of the conntry. Among
other arrivals wero Oliver Applegate and Bob
\\ biltle, both of wbimt 1 became acquainted
with in the lava beds.
Mrs. Boby and her daughter havo also ar
rived here, hai ing come, it is said, with the in-
tcuilou of seeing Jack and party hang, also
of paying a visit to Honker Jim with a six
shooter; and it would certainly bo uo loss to
the community if a stray bullet was to deprive
us or bis society. It is strauge that while Jack,
Scbouubiu, Black Jim aud Boston Charley
were strung up this moruiug without auy
complimentary iiolice that 1 should have
grown sufficiently careless as to inquire fur a
hammock aud string.
THE TWO CoMBATHESES,
Barucbo aud Slolux were perfectly delighted
at getting reprieved tbis moruiug; and, al
though their sentence bas beeu commuted to
imprisonment for life, they will pass a pretty
dull season at Alcrataz. “ Any thing for life,"
uue would say, if he bad seen the delighted ex
pression that passed over the hideous features
of Barucbo, as Bret Tyler, the officer of the
day, mlormed them early this morniug of the
clemency of tbo President.

KFFKCT OF THE DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT.
Buhtuu CUarley kept stuailily cbmving to-
liacuu tvliilo lira scuieuce was being spoken
and squirted the juice about tbe floor in a uon-
cbalaut way, as if uotb ing of any importance
was taking place.
neonebin expressed his contempt for tbe
whole matter, laying buck on the bunk aud
hawking in the most expressive manner, as if
the entire proceedings were rather a bole.
Jack appeared to lake the uetvs very coolly,
but bis bright and sparkling eyes appeared
unusually brilliant, aud gazed around the cir
cle iu a quick aud restless manner.
The interpreter then informed them, by or
der of tbe President, that their wives und fam
ilies would be taken good caro; also that Geu.
Wheaton was now prepared to hear any re
marks they bad to make.
CAPTAIN JACK SPEAKS.
Captain Jack then spoke, Dave Hill transla
ting the Modoc to jargon aud Olivor Apple
gate the jargon into English. The substauce
of Jack's speech was as follows :
“ I have heard tho sentence and know wbat
it is; but I feel that I am more innocent
than Bogus Charley, Hooker Jim, Steamboat
Frank aud Shack Nasty Jim ; that these men
plauned and instigated the crime of which I
am accused. When I look into my heart I
see no crime there. Young men started these
murders. It’s hard to rid them of their savage
habits. I was always in favor of peace, and
Bogus Charley was the first to propose the
murder of Gen. C’anby and the peace commis
sioners. These young men were with him. I
said no; but they bad tbe |«>wer and carried
me with them. We came near a personal dif
ficulty.
MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER.
When Bogus Charley proposed killing Gen.
Canby. Boston Charley was the one who first
sanctioned it. Bogus Charley said. * If you
fail to help me I will do it myself.' I feel while
these four men are at liberty they have tri
umphed over me. and the government should
feel more satisfied if they were brought to tri
al, as they were a* guilty, if not more so, than
I am. I say that Bogus Charley was tbe only
man who influenced me. He was a traitor to
both sides. He told lies to Modoca and lied to
Geu. Canby. I should like to see him brought
here. Hooker Jim and Bogus Charley were
tbe men that agitated murder. I want now
to tell the truth—want to see those men I
know that Shack Nasty Jim killed Gen. Can
by and shot Meacham, and
BOSTON CHARLEY KILLED DR. THOMA8
That is all I know about tbe massacre. Bos
ton Charley says Shack Nasty helped to kill
Dr. Thomas, aud he wants to see him tried as
a murderer. Shack Nasty told me chat he
told Gen. Wheaton ho killed Gen. Cauby;
but I did not believo him. Ho said so after
the massacre. Bogus Charley told me bo
knew blood was on bis bands, and I would not
be held accountable, as be was tbe real crimi
nal. Bogus Charley wanted to kill both Geu-
erals Cauby aud Gillem. and was very sorry
that Gen. Gillem did uot come out that day
By order of Geu. Wheaton, Jack wes theu
asked by tbe interpreter why they killed Gen
Canby and the commissioners, and wbat they
expected to gain by such action.
Captain Jack rather evaded the question
General Wheaton then told the interpreter
to tell Captain Jack hi, people would be con
veyed to a comfortable home and well taken
care of. Ho asked him which ono of the band
be would like to take charge of bis family when
he was gone.
REALIZING HIS FATE.
Jack rather winced under that question, and
said: ' I can think of no one tyho conld take
good care of my family. He would be auspi
cious of all, even ofScar-faced Charley, whom
be thought a good man.’
Captain Jack then expressed a desire to
know if be might entertain hopes of living, and
on being told the President's orders would be
carried out, he said, * The great chief in Wash
ington is a long way off, and h* thinks that be
has been misrepresented, and if the big chief
would come to See him he nSjgJjii change .bis
opinion.' He was then told* His',big chiefs
children numbered millions, and that he was
guided by good men, who represented him.
KTRIKINO INTELLIGENCE OF JACK.
On hearing that the President’s decision was
not given without a good deal of thought, Jack
said: * I know, judging by tbe details, he was
not hasty in the matter, but I think he should
have heard wbat I had to say.'
The interpreter then told Captain Jack that
General Wheaton advised him not to think of
a reprieve, hut to pay attention to what the
chaplain had said to him.
Jack said that be knew what the chaplain
said was good, and he should follow it, and if
they permitted him to live he would become a
better man. After expressing a desire to have
u talk with the four scouts, ho said : ‘ It is
TEl.KIBLE TO THINK I HAVE TO DIE,
because whenever 1 look at my heart I see a
desire to live. I would like to live until I die
natural.’
Black Jim then said: * I see great many
men present, but have uo talk to make as Jack
talks. I always tell the truth, and am well
known among my people. Was wounded first
fight at Lost ltiver, and very sick for many
months and not on the war path. My heart
tells me I am good and strong man, and able
to take care of tbe Modocs. If Ja>-k und
Schonchiu are killed, I should then be left to
take caro of the Modocs. I do not know what
Jack aud Schonchiu think about it. That’s
my idea. Am afraid of notbiog. and when it’s
war am always iu front rauk. If I have been
guilty of crime, the law of chiefs decides that
I should die; I am willing to die, and aiu not
afraid to die. I have beeu long time confined
iu guard house without even a chance to talk,
and if we are to die I think we should make
some arrangements for our spirits in the other
world, aud 1 would like to hear tbe spirit mail
talk.’
General Wheaton explained that tho chap
lain bad come for that purpose. Captain Jack
then said. * 1 would like this matter to be de
layed until my speech can be laid before the
big chief or people. [The latter did not know
that Bogns Charley and Hooker Jim instigated
the murder of Canby.] I wish -to be good
friend to the whites, aud am willing to live iu
any part of tho world they may send nra. I
feel frieudly towards every oue, and the whites
are my friends.’
Boston Charley then expressed a desire to
talk, and said,’You all knew me during tbe
war, but it seemed to me that I had two hearts,
one Iudiau and tbe other white. 1 I am a boy ;
yet yuu all kuow of what I am guilty. Al
though a boy I feel like a man. When I look
each side of me I think of those other men as
women. Schonchiu, I am uot afraid to die.
I think 1 am the only man in the room. 1
fought in the front rank with Sbaknasty,
Steamboat, Bogus and Hooker Jim. 1 am
wholly man, uot half woman. I killed Geuoral
Cauby, assisted by Steamboat Frank aud Bo
gus. Bogus said. ‘ Do you believe tbeseCom
inissiouers mean to try to make peace with
us V I said, ’ I believe so.' He said, * ( don't
believe bo, they want to lead us into some trap.'
I said, ‘ All right, 1 go with you. Capt. Ander
son remembers when Bogus came in camp in
the evening, and when 1 came in morning. I
would like to see all my people and bid them
good-bye to-day. 1 would like to go to the
stockade ; I feel that if 1 criminate other par
ties it would nut amount to anything. I see
it too late uow, that our chief men were,not at
tbe bottom of that affair, ami they did not take
6uch a prominent part iu tbe massacre as the
young men. 1 am young—I know but little.
When I see anything with my eyes I kuow it.’
Boston was then asked,
WHY THEY KILLED CANBY
and the Commissioners. n« said that all the
presents they received bad uo influence on
them, and they suspected Canby and the Com-
missionrrs of treachery and got up a big mad.
Captain Jack alluded to what Boston bad
said about his share in tbe massacre and then
said; “ I have always had a good henrt, and
have now. Scar-faced Charley, my relation,
more man than I am, and I would propose to
make an examination and tarn Scar-faced
Charley over in my place, and then I could
live and take care of my family." Tbis mod
est request rather amused the spectators and,
to Jack’s disgust, did not receive roach con
sideration from General Wheaton. Jack con
cluded by saying, "I am ready to go aud see
my Great Father above."
SCONCHIN HAS A TALK.
Sconcbin was asked, by order of General
Wheaton, if be bad anything be wished to say.
The old obiefseyes lighted considerably at the
prospect of talk, and making a sign in the af
firmative, he presently commenced.
General Wheaton then told the interpreter
to tell Captain Jack and tbo others if they
wanted anything to ask tbe sergeant of the
guard and he would bring it to them. They
were also told they would be visited in the
evening by their families.
The Post Chaplaiu got up and delivered a
very impressive prayer. The meeting then
broke up. and I ebook hands with Jack and
Shnnchin, who both appeared glad to see cue,
JACK WANTS SCAB-FACED HANGED IN HIS
PLACE.
Jack, however, soon deserted and renewed his
attack on General Wheaton, urging that it
would l>e quite proper for Scar-faced Charlie
to take his place, aud then bis valuable services
would be saved for his family and bis tribe.
The General, however, could not see the point,
and left Jack ;n a rather unenviable state of
mind.
Jack nppeared very much affected at meet
ing his favorite eqnaw, Lizzie, and the little
papoose. Hie sister Mary was even more af
fected, and worked herself into a perfect par
oxysm of grief. The little girl even appeared
to comprehend tbe situation, and sobbed bit
terly. As Jack gave her
ONE FOND EMBRACE,
.tlie squaws returned to the stockade and the
murderers were left in their cells with no oth
er companion than the gloomy foreboding and
anticipation of tho morrow.
Old Sconclilo mot bis family without much
visible emotion, bat his children cried bitterly,
and the sqnaws yelled as if the world was
coming to an end. The chief did not betray
auy outward signs of agitation. He kissed bia
little son repeatedly, and when jnst before
retreat they were token away, he laid down in
Ids cell and foiled himself like u ball in his
blankets.
The Modocs.
Jacksonville, Oregon, Oct. 3.—The cor
respondent uf the Associated Press left Fort
Klamath this morning at 11:30 o'clock, and by
hard riding arrived here late this evening, with
the foliowiug report of the execution of Cap
tain Jack ami bis band :
Bostou Charlie aud Black Jim were led on
tbe scaffold first, and Schonchiu next. They
trod on it with apparent iudifference, having
evidently resolved to die aa bravely as they
have lived. Capt. Jack went easily up the
stairway, but looked wretched and miserable.
Their mauacles bad beeu struck off, hut their
arms were securely pinioned with cords.
At precisely 9:45 o'clock a. m„ the inter
preters, Capt. 0. C. Applegate and David Hili,
explained to the prisoners the nature of the
order to bo read to them by tbe Adjutant, and
at 10 o'clock Adjutant Kingsbury read the or
der promulgating the sentence of the commis
sion and tho President’s order thereon, with
tho orders of tbe Secretary of War and tbe De
partment Commander iu tbe premises. The
two relieved prisoners, Barancho and Slolnk,
yet stood on the ground in front of the scaffold,
shackled and under guard. During the read
ing, the pinioued victims were seated on the
platform of the scaffold with their feet on the
drop, listening anxiously, but of course under
standing not a word or it. Tbe reading occu
pied ten minutes. Then the Adjutant read
the order und commutation in the case of Ba-
rancho and Sloluk, and the poor fellows were
taken back to the stockade, evidently rejoiced
at uot accompanying the others to the happy
bunting grounds. The Chaplain then offered
an earnest and fervent prayer for the souls of
tbe culprits, which was listened to attentively.
At 10:15 a. in. the fatal nooses wore placed
around their necks, under tbe direction or
Capt. Huge. It was necessary to cut off a lit
tle of Captain Jack’s long hair, which was in
tho way of the rope. Captain Hoge theu bid
farewell to the prisoners, and the black caps
were placed over the beads of all tbe culprits.
At ten o'clock and twenty minutes they stood
on lira drop, and the rope was cut by an as
sistant at a signal made with Capt. Hugo’s
handkerchief. The bodios swung round and
round, Jack and Jim apparently dying easily,
but Boston ami Schoncbin suffering terrible
convulsions, Boston and Schonchiu repeated
ly drew up their legs, but the two others seem
ed to die almost instantly. At ten o’clock ami
twenty-eight minutes, their pulses were felt by
Capt. Huge, and as tbis is being written they
are swinging lifeless in the air. As the drop
fell with a terrible deadly thug, four wretched
lnitpan beings full into eternity, aud a half-
smothered cry of horror went up from the
crowd of over five hundred Klamath Indians,
who witnessed tbe awful spectacle. Wails of
deep and bitter anguish went up from the
stockade, where the wives and children of the
poor fellows had a fair view of tbe shocking
scene. The coffins, six iu number, had been
placed directly in the rear of the gallows, two
of them destined to bo unoccupied, as the order
commuting the sentences of Barancho and
Sloluk only arrived at 10:30 last evening, and
preparations had been made for their exccu
tion with tho others. An application was
made this morning to General Wheaton by tho
Sheriff of Jackson couuty, Oregon, for tho eus
tody of the Indians indicted by the Grand Jury
but was refused.
NEVER PROVE FALSE TO A FRIEND.
Nover.provc false to a friend.
In love und iu friendship be true,
Never prove false to a friend
So long as he's faithful to you.
He may he dishonest— a knave
In others' opinions but then
To you lie is generous and kind.
And one of tlie noblest of men.
Is any man free from a fault.
All righteous and good in his ways t
Lives there a woman on earth
That she can be named but in praise t
Never speak ill uf a friend,
To gnssipers kcop a closed ear.
An excellent rule in tbe main
Is to credit one tenth what you hear.
Stand by a man in distress,
When you know be is really iu need;
Although by misfortune he falls.
There'A honor for jjou in the deed.
That one may deceive you 'tis true—
Then bis, and not yours the disgrace,
Because we find oue man untrue,
Should we wrong or distrust- tbe whole race f
Censure a man (or his faults;
Give him honor where honoris due ;
But never prove false to a friend.
So long as he's faithful to you.
But should you prove false to a friend,

When the Journey of'iifu’s at an end,
You'll fiud he's superior to you.

The Seven Whistlers.
There is an old English superstition, which
it ie not easy to get at the bottom of, concern
ing a certain cry or soand heard in the night,
supposed to l>e produced by the Seven Whis
tlers. Wbat or who these whistlers are is an
unsolved problem. In some rural districts
they are popularly believed to be witches, in
others ghosts, in others devils, while in the
Midland counties they are supposed to be birds,
either plovers or martins—some say swifts.
In Leicestershire it is deemed a bad omen to
hear tbe Seven Whistlers, and our old writers
supply many passages ilinstrativo of the pop
ular cred Jky. Spencer in his * Faerie Queene,’
speaks of
“ Tho whistlers shrill
Thst who boars doth die.”
Scott, in the -Lady uf the Lake,* names the
bird with which his character associated the
cry:
“ And ia the plover’s shrilly strain
The signal whistlers heard again.”
When the colliers of Leicestershire are flush
of money, we are told, and indulge in a drink-
iug bout, they sometimes hear tbe warning
voice of tbe Seven Whistlers; they get sobered
and frightened, and will not descend the pit
till the next day. Wordsworth speaks of a
countryman who
"Toe seven birds hath seen that never part.
Seen [he Seven Whistlers in their nightly rounds,
Ami coaoted them.”
A year or two ago, during a thunder storm
which passed over Leicestershire, aud while
vivid lightning was darting through the sky,
immense flocks of birds were seen flying about,
uttering doleful affrighted cries us they passed,
and keeping up for ‘a lung time a continual
whistling like that mado by some king of sea
bird. The number must have bean immense,
for the local newspapers mentioned tbe same
phenomenon in different parts of the neigh
boring counties of Northampton, Leicester and
Lincoln. A gentleman, conversing with a
countryman on tho following day, asked him
bat kind of birds be supposed them to have
been. Thu man answered, ' They are what
we call the Seven Whistlers;' and added that
whenever they are heard it is considered a sign
of some great calamity, and that the last time
he heard them was on the night before the
deplorable explosion of fire-damp at tho Har
ley Colliery. Soldiers, too, in time of fierce
war, are said to be uot quite free from a super
stitious belief that such cries in the air denote
an approaching battle with great slaughter.
A stranger notion than any of these associates
the Seven Whistlers, or the shrill birds of some
indefinite number, with a very old mych of
past days. Oue eveuing, some years ago, a
geutlemau was crossing a moor in Lancashire,
in compauy with an elderly man belonging to
the district. As they were passing along they
were startled by tbe whittling overhead of a
flight of plovers. The old man said that iu
the days of bis youth the Lancashire bill folk
considered such au occurrence a bad omen,
foretelling ill-luck to the person who bears the
whistling. Further questions brought out the
fact that these birds are called the Wamleriug
Jews—the bodies of the birds contain tbe souls
of tbe Jews who assisted at the crucifixion,
and who are doomed to float in tbe air forever.

Puree Pride.
A toss of tbe head, or turning up the nose
does no <nra auy special barm, while it seems
to do those who indulge in such childlike ex
pressions of emotion, a deal of good. So who
cares if the proud and lofty, the spiteful and
disdaiufui. or the showy and shallow headed
siguify their innocent disapprobation in that
wayt Nice people never do such things. The
nicer a person is tbo less inclined is he or she
to look down upon anybodv, even the hum
blest and most ignorant.
Tbo least creature serves some purpose in
the world. It happens occasionally that peo
ple who appear the most important and ima
gine themselves indispensable to the chosen
few nice and most favored beings, ure of far
less accouut than those they look down upon.
A small amount of money, with large debts
added to u short allowance of brains, in a lit
tle while constitutes a most supercilious crea
ture of one, who as a poor womau might have
been agreeable aud obliging.
Good fortune is so trying to the mind that
few can withstand its ruinous effects. Money
spoils so many pleasant people that it Is almost
a pity that everybody are uot parse poor.
Auy one who estimates character indepen
dent of its surrounding, is sorry for the feeble
efforts of snobbish people who set themselves
above real merit merely on accouut of money.
However the starched skirts of eelf appoint
ed nice people will be drawn aside to avoid
touching the garments of those not happening
to have studied good mauners and moral ex
cellence front the earn t chatechisin; andtbeie
is no help for it, until everybody strives as
hard for common sense os they do for money.

The Prize Package Boy’s Dream In a Church.
Oue of the moat alarming cases of somnam
bulism with which wo are familiar is .uiat of
the prize package boy who operates on tbe
Xorristowu railroad in Philadelphia. By some
extraordinary combination of circumstances,
this child of sin was iuduofil to go to church
few Suudays ago, and white listening to the
sermon fell asleep iu the back pew where he
sat. There had been a Suuday school meet
ing there before church, aud tho Bibles and
missionary newspapers were piled up iu that
particular pew. Suddenly this remorseless
youug orpbau picked up a bundle of tlra pa
pers in bis sleep and begau to walk up the
aisle, throwihg one iuto each pew as he went
along. When be got under tbe lee of the pul
pit be stopped and waited two minutes. Tbe
minister looked cross-eyed at him aud glared
at him through bis spectacles, but the youug
brigand was unconscious. Then he glided
dowu the uisle and anuized tbe congregation
by removing the papers from each pew. When
he reached the rear lie seized an armful uf Bi
bles and rambled up the aisle again, tossing
tbeiu at the oceupams of tbe pews.
Resting again under the pulpit, and wholly
indifferent to the circumstances that the cler
gyman's eyes agaiu were out uf their imium!
straight position, aud were making bis specta
cles look like a double barrel locomotive head
light, tbo infant brigand pranced down tbe
aisle, tlie second time yelling. ** Hera's yer
prize packages, only ten cents; each one
contains a prize worth from leu cents to ton
dollars!" and grabbing for tlie Bible os be
proceeded. The miuisier waved his hand at
oue of the deacons; the deacon and the sex
ton charged ou that boy, aud tbe organist
tells us the three scudded down the thorough
fare at the rat» of fifteen knots au hour, while
the sexton shook tho boy up and the deacon
boxed bis ears and wisbed it was not wicked
to swear. '1 hen they took hiui up into the
steeple and he was made to say bis prayers
and told to do so uo more.
Influence of Manure on Products.
Poof. Baoho says: " Herbaceous plants and
vegetables furnish numerous iustauces of the
influence uf peculiar uiuuures ou tbe quality
of tbe products. The cheese aud milk of cer-
taiu localities are highly prized on account of
the peculiar aroma of tbe gross in those lo
calities.
Besides this bad influence of odorons nito-
genous manures on wine, we must bear iu mind
that tbis process restores to the soil only a
small portion of the potash consumed by the
canes, tbe leaves, and the fruit, and that it
also teuds to exhaustion, since it returns to
the soil but ona-fiftb or one-sixth of tbe amount
ol potasli takeu from it. Moreover, nitroge
nous substances exetasively used hasten the
decay of vineyards aud the exhaustion of tie
soil. We have a report from Baron Von Lie
big of tbo exhaustion of a vineyard at Bingen,
on tbe Khiua, through tbeexclnsive use of horn
scrapings. Tbe result at first seemed good,
but after a few years the growth aud produc
tion decreased rapidly. Tbe extra growth in
duced by the horu scrapings had divested the
soil of all its potash without returning any.
Nitrogenious manures also iuorease in the
grape in proportion of albumiuous and mucil
aginous matters, and correspondingly diminish
the saccharine; the wuw contains less alcohol,
and is consequently more subject to alterna
tion. In fact, ihesugur-producingplants want
strongly uitiogenous manures; and sugar-ma
kers are aware that beets manured with high
ly nitrogenous ‘compounds—although more
| bulky—contain less sugar and tumo erg:
