from the Cascades, yesterday about 5
o'clock, aud as she returns to-day, have
deemed it advisable to give you and your
readers generally, all the news that have
obtained Of interest since my arrival in
town.
Col. Craig arrived here from the Nez
Perce country late last evening, and re-
ports the Indians to be upon anything but
friendly terms with the whites. He SAYS
the Indians are concentrating in large
numbers at various places, and from ap-
nearances generally, is led to infer that
they are assembling with q view of con
cocting plans for the renewal of hostliiias.
Col. C. says that it is unsafe for our pco-
ple to pass through and beyond the Mes
Perce country without a strong escort.
The Indians are very saucy, impndeut and
insolent. They want no iSdU-lcalc with
the Americans whatever; all they ask is
that We abandon their country, and nav
them for the losses they have sustained in
the late war. Col. Craig says the govern
ment ought, by all means, to pay the Iudi-
ans for the animals purchased from them
by Col. Cornelius. | think this is a mat
ter that should receive immediate atten.
ton, and their claims promptly paid, for
they are just The Col says that any
thing would satisfy them-say blankets
and clothing of any kind. l think these
claims could be easily reached by being
paid ont of the Indian appropriations for
Oregon Territory, for the money was ap-
propriated by Congress for restoring and
maintaining peace with the friendly lndi-
ans. Now these Indians are semi-friendly,
perhaps many of them wholly so, but if
these claims are TO remain unpaid until
Congress, or the war commission passes
upon them, then VIC may look for them to
open war against US.
This city is improving very rapidly.
Several very large store buildings are I'M
der course of construction, and when com
pleted will compare favorab!y with any in
Portland, or anywhere in Oregon. Busi-
ness, too, is brisk. The merchants are
doing very well, and the people are gencr.
ally employed. have seen no loafers in
town, barring a few soldiers, who are IA
nous in this particular profession. There
are two steamers plying upon the upper
Columbia to this place, and another very
fine one will he running in the course Of a
fortnight. These steamers are built, and
being built, BY the Bros. Bradford, at the
Cascades.
l shall leave here in abont two weeks,
but will write you again previous to my
departure.
Gov Stevens has no opposition in Ska
mania whatever. Tie Messrs. Bradford,
who are opposed to our platform, strongly
endorse the Governor, and will be found
unit at the polls in bis support. The peo-
pie here in Oregon endorse him, and con-
cede that he is the proper man TO represent
the interests of Washington Territory in
Congress. Sensible folks, these Oregon-
ans bid farewell to old friend Wallace,
on the evening Of the Sth inst, at the
Lower Cascades, and judging from political
appearances, the Col would be willing and
ready at any time to give up the "ghost F"
and quietly withdraw from the field, as he
feels confident the battle is lost.

THE SHoRT-sIGHTED LoNG-LEcGs -
The following is translated from a
Leipsic joke book, entitled who will
believe it. =
The very tall and somewhat short
sighted Count x, on a journey had to
sleep with a much shorter friend IN the
double bed of country inn. Waking
up soon after day-break, he found his
short friend drawn far down into the
bed by his side, and saw pair of max
ed feet hanging over the board.
He walked up the snoring short man
and said: you will catch your death
of cold, my friend, if you do not draw
lu your feet you are mistaken,
was the reply, those are your feet
down below there Impossible y said
the Count, be so dood, however, as to
look once more, for at this distance l
cannot recognise them.'

Shakespeare as a Man.

1t is a nobler thing that such man
as Shakespeare was created than to be
familiar with the shelves of whole IL
braries of dusty tones. The advent of
"a soul so richly gifted, of nature so
intensely ideal and so richly passion
ate, is an era in the history of man.
No poet ever reached height so lofty,
described so granly, speculated SO dar-
ingly, or felt so deeply; and none ever
seemed so little conscious of an effect.
His grandest thoughts flow so natural
ly, that it is easy to see that they are
familiar and accustom d to his mind
and his gaiety and mirth are equally
characteristics of himself Hamlet and
MeI QUITO, Macbeth and Romeo, Pros
pero and Benedict, are all shakespeare
in his different moods; and the wit,
the idealist, soldier and sage, each and
all bear the impress of having originat-
ed from the same mind There is pro-
badly less known of Shakespeare person.
ally than of any man of mark in Eng
lish history. He lived in an age of
heroes, and he was a foremost man
among them. His contemporaries bow
ed before bis master spirit, and the
most colossal minds of all Europe have
acknowledged his sovereignty. And
yet we have better knowledge of men
who died thousand ycrs ago, before
printing perpetuAted tradition, when
chronclers were few, than of this won-
drous man. There is not, we have
reason to believe, single letter of his
writing preserved, and scarcely CO.
temporary anecdote. There are por-
traits, not one of which can be proved
to be authentic; a bust which seems
genuine but cannot be warranted. This
man, the real spiritual king OF England,
is in his individuality as much myth
as Homer But this we do know,
man there lived whose intellectual and
moral nature was a microcosm which
embraced the ideal Of humanity, and
that he left behind hundred repre-
sentatives of his own mind, none like
each other, but all like himself, of
whom every passing speculation or
reasoning is best illustrated, and in
whom everv emotion finds Its noblest
and most genuine utterance.

NEVER JEST WITH SCRIPTURE.-It
is OF great Importance that we should
resist the temptation, frequently so
strong, of annexing familiar, faceti-
Gus, or irreverent idea to Scriptural
expression, Scripture text, or Scrip
ture name. Nor should we hold our
selves guiltless, though we may have
been misled by nero negligence or
want of reflection. Every person of
good taste will avoid reading a parody
or travestie of beautiful! poem, be-
cause the recollection of the degraded
likeness will always obtrude itself up
on our memories when we wish to de-
rive pleasure from the contemplation of
the elegance of the original But how
much more urgent is the duty by which
we are bound to keep the pages of the
Bible clear of any impression tending
to diminish the blessing of habitual res
pect and reverence towards our Max
er's law.--Palgrare.

APPLES AS FooD -Liebig, the en-
inent Psychologist, says The import
ance of apples as food has not hitherto
been sufficiently estimated IN this coun-
try, or understood. Besides contri>
buting a large proportion of sugar, mu
cilage, and other nutritive matter, in
the form of food, they contain such a
fine combination of vegetable acids,
extractive substances, and aromatic
principles, with the nutritive matter,
as to act powerfully in the capacity of
refrigerants, tonics and antiseptics !;
and when freely used at the season of
ripeness by rural laborers and others,
they prevent debility strengthen diges-
ton, correct the putrefactive tenden-
cies of nitrogenous food, avert scurvy,
and probably maintain and strengthen
the powers of productive labor. The
operators of Cornwall consider ripe
apples nearly as nourishing as bread,
and more so than potatoes. In the
year 1901, year Of scarcity, apples,
instead OF being converted into cider,
were sold to the poor, and the laborers
asserted that they could stand their
work on baked apples witout meat
wheras, a potato diet required either
meat or fish. The French and Ger
mans use apples extensively; indeed,
it is rare that they sit down, in the
rural districts, without them, in some
shape or other, even at the best ta-
bles. The leborers and mechanics de-
pend on them, to a very great extent,
as an article of food, and frequently
dine on sliced apples and bread Stew
ed with rice, red cabbage, carrots, or
by themselves, with little sugar and
milk, they make both pleasant and
nutritious dish.

Lebrun still doubted he remained
in a sort of stupor for a minute or two,
and then examined his now naked thigh
with the most earnest attention.
When he was satisfied that every
thing was in normal condition, his
cheeks regained their color, and his
respiration became more calm. He
was too happy to be angry with any
one, but looked smilingly upon his
friends.
One of them held out glass of wine
to him.
NO, l thank you,' said Lebrun,
pushing it from him, at least not to-
day.
And he gathered together the splin-
ters with great care.
