ARE THE STARS INHABITEp.-If in
the universe, there are worlds so vast in
their dimensions, is it reasonable they
would be uninhabited? Are they the
regions of eternal silence? Does no eye
behold their beauties; no heart breathe
its alteration to the Giver of all good, in
those distant worlds? If the earth,
insignificant in comparison, is filled with
created intelligences, and teeming with
life in every form, from man that is ''a
little lower than the angels" to the
worm that he treads beneath his feet,
from the Leviathan and Behemoth, to
the smallest variety of Animalcula; if
every leaf is "colony of insects" and
every drop of water contains myriads of
creatures, ,and every hollow in a grain of
sand is inhabited; is it not altogether
reasonable that those shining worlds
that gem the brow of night are the
abodes of innumerable beings? not fall
en- ones as we arc heirs to pain and
sorrow; but happy intelligences, who
join in ceaseless praise to Him, "who
telleth the number of the stars, and call
eth them all by their names"

How TO TREAT ONES FRIENDS
Don't be hattered that friendship au-
thorizes you to say disagreeable things
to your intimates. On the contrary,
the nearer you come into relation with
a person the more necessary do tact and
courtesy become. Except in cases of
necessity, which are rare, leave your
friend to learn unpleasant truths from
his enemies, they are ready enough to
tell them. Good breeding never forgets
that amour propre is universal. When
you read the story of the Archbishop
and Gil Bias, you may laugh if you will
at the old mans delusion, but don't for
get that the youth was the greater fool
Of the two, and that his master served
such a BOBBY rightly in turning him out
of doors.-7He Autocrat Of the Break
fast Table.

WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUBBERs

WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUBBERs.
We have noticed that many persons
wear linda rubber overshoes in cold dry
weather, to keep their feet warm. This
is an injudicious and evil practice. In
dia rubber shoes are very comfortable and
convenient for covering the feet during
wet and sloppy weather, but they never
should be worn on any other occasion
the sole use should always be but simply
to keep out the water. They should,
therefore, be taken off whenever the
wearer enters the house and be worn as
little as possible, because they are air
tight, and restrain the perspiration ofthe
feet The air cannot be excluded from
them, or any portion of them for any
length of time, without sensibly affect
ing the health It is our opinion, that
no habit tends more to good health than
clean feet, and clean dry stockings, so
as to allow the free perspiration Of the
neither extremities.

JAPANESE LIBERALITY.-The Jap
anese cannot be very intolerant in relig-
ion, for they have three different religions,
divided into upwards of thirty sects, the
yotaries of all of which live peaceably
together. The persecution of the Chris
tians in the seventeenth century was a
political and not theological one Be
fore it commenced, the BONES, or the
priests of Buddhism, form of religion
introduced from India, were the most
importunate in their complaints against
the Christians. They petitioned the
emperor against them, who demanded
how many forms of religion existed in
the empire, and the reply was thirty-fve.
WELL rejoined his majesty, where
thirty-fve can be tolerated, we can easi-
ly bear thirty-six. Leave the strangers
in peace

THE ATLANTIC MoNTHLY.-The
eastern religious press insinuate that this
periodical, which has attained rare
popularity for work so purely intellee-
tual, is indirectly an organ of the Theo-
dore Parker school of Unitarianism,
which they stigmatise as an exceeding
ly narrow form of sectarianism partic-
ularly offensive to the Christian puplie.
They think that the AHantic Monthly
"needs sub-editor, whose special busi-
nessit should be to keepit free from semi
Paganism."
There's pretty epithet to apply tc
New England intellect! Semi-Pagan-
ism, quotha! IF that be scmi-Paganism
make us aohole Pagan at once Why,
not one of these same liberal critics
could SO touch the heart and the brain
of the Aaanttc' thirty thousand sub
scribers, as does that semi-Pagan organ
itself. The atlantic Monthly has al
ready become part of American liter
=ature, and will live and be admired as
such when its bigoted critics are dead
and forgotten.

New Orleans is situated on an alluvi.
al plain of recent geological formation,
and Of an unknown depth and age. An
attempt made some time ago revealed
the fact that for six hundred feet, at
least, the same formation was obtained.
Rows upon rows of the stumps of the
cypress have been found growing over
each other, exactly superimposed, each
of which layers must have taken thous-

FIRST WHITE WOMAN AT THE NORTH.
In conversation with one of the early
adventures Of this northern country,
welearned the following interesting facts:
Mrs Walton was the first white wo-
man who explored the territory embrac-
ingHumboldt, Trinity and Siskiyou coun-
ties. She came to Humboldt Bay in
April, 1910; thence, travelling on foot
and carrying her wardrobe and several
articles of household goods, amounting
to forty pounds, upon her back, as in
forty mine, accompanied by her husband,
she found her way across the mountains
to Big Bar, Trinity river. One day in
June of that year, our informant and a
Scotchman were busy crevicing at the
edge of the water under bluff Of rocks /;
they knew of no other persons near
them; they espied shadow in the water,
and "Scotty," springing up exclaimed,
"Gude Goad, mon. We're taken." His
Gaelic imagination was full of "Injin." :"
But it was pioneering Mrs. Walton, in
her grotesque mining gear; she had thus
travelled along the river, stopping occa-
~sionally to mine
The two miners were peculiarly stu
ated-they had but one pair of panta-
iloons. between them, and the company
6recchcs had been left on shore, the bet
ter to. facilitate the business of obtaining
gold from below water, and to have a
"change" at night. Backing off to
convenient water-depth, they held a
parley, and directed the woman to de
ssirable camping ground, and in the eve
ming wore the breeches consecutiuely, at
visits of ceremony
Mrs. Walton removed to Weaverville,
thence crossing Scott S mountain through
SCOTS Valley to SCOTS Bar, and from
thence to Yreka Flat, and she was the
first white woman ever there. Finally
she removed to Oregon, and is there re-
siding, if the New Caledonian discover
les did not rouse her spirit of explora-
ton. Her history is remarkable: She
was born in England, inheriting two
hundred thousand pounds, which being
somehow SquahuefeQ aIter ner marriage,
she and her husband went to Australia
there the man died, and, marrying
Walton, she came here; and ever rest
less, apparently desiring escape from
human society, she has ever kept pene-
trating desolate wilds Her face, though
time and care bleached, retained yesti-
ges of considerable beauty; her mind
was prodigally stored, she had learned
Latin and Greek, and exhibited fami,-
iarity with the polite accomplishn ents o!
her day and country. She brought a
dozen candles with her from Humboldt;
six of them she gave to sick man whom
she carefully and tenderly watched. Let
her be remembered, and let her story
be oft told. Trinity Journal

WASHINGTON LOVE OF APPLAUSE.
Theodore Parker thus nobly refers to
this trait of Washington's character
How many of our cotemporary "great
men" deserve such praise ?-"By nature
and education he had strong love of
appreciation; he was greedy of applause.
Proof of that you find in all his life; but
yet, in ali his manly public life, as Leg
islator, General, President, you cannot
find single instance in which he
courted popularity. An Office always
sought him-he never it. In no instance
did he ever stoop his proud head to shun
abuse, or to pick up favor out of the
mire where the mob and politicians
tread with unclean feet. Admirers we're
about him he could not help that but
there was no place for hatterer; and in
all his public addresses, in his official
letters, in his journals, in his familiar
talk, there is no evidence that he ever
referred to himself or alluded to any
great or good deed he ever did. After
179O the eyes of the nation, yes, the
ewes of the world, were on the noblest
man in it. His eye was on the nation
and on Gods eternal fright; it was not on
George Washington, or his great deeds.

the street; Merritt is the heavenly

never sets, and asks no favor of any

The statistics of the English income

The statistics Of the English income
tax show that only 25S,SSO persons are
assessed in population of twenty-seven

people have incomes so small as to es-

for incomes of less than $500 is 20, ,34S !;

A STRAw.-The Boston Recorder

A STRAw.-The Boston Recorder is
publishing series of articles to show
that the belief in endless punishment is
dying out of the orthodox churches, and
laments with anxiety the fact. The
doctrine, DR.. Cooke says, is very little
preached nowadays, and in very mild
and mitigated form. In Germany it is
still worse, many of the best evangelical
Christians there openly deny the doc
trine. The remedy proposed for this
declension is the strong and frequent
preaching of the doctrine by those who
believe it.

An immense meteoric stone fell at
Clarac, France, on the Sth of December.
1t was SO hot when it fell that it could
not be touched. It's fall was preceded
by terrific explosion in the air, followed
by shower Of sparks and black cloud,
by which the people were not little
frightened. The stone was black and
perfectly calcined, and resembled no for

" MoNEKA, Feb. II, 1907.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I see in your paper of
the 9th jan, an article taken from the
Fl. Scott Democrat, headed "WHo LIEs?"
which says that I made the statement
that neither Brown nor Montgomery was
in Missouri at the taking of those negroes.
Permit me to say that made no such
statement.
I simply repeated a runlor, before the
facts were fully known, as you will see
by referring to the letter. Editors and
newspaper readers understand the diff
ference between statements made, involv-
ing veracity, and rumors passing current,
of the truth of which the writer knows
nothing. To illustrate -
In the same paper you report rumor
of battle in Linn county, to which you
give credit. You are told that eight men
were killed by the Sherif's posse in a
certain battle. The fact is, no man was
killed then, and no man has been killed
in Linn county by either party, during
these disturbances. Respectfully yours,
AUGUSTUS WATTLES.

GIVE are in the daily receipt of
large subscriptions to the HerGld of Free
dom, from all parts of the Territory. Bu-
siness men have OF length become con-
scious that our paper abounds with more
information of practical utility than any
other published in Kansas, and is the
most reliable in its news items, hence
their hberality in sustaining it. Large
numbers Of new subscribers are now send
ing in their orders to secure early copies
of the laws, as all the world knows that
we have facilities superior to all other
newspapers in Kansas, for getting early
copies of the laws for publication.
And then the JAY-HAwKER, now nearly
ready for publication, and which will be
commenced soon, is eliciting much inter-
est. We shall delay the commencement
of its publication until the author com.
pletes it, as on several occasions we have
commenced seriesof articles, and been
disappointed in their final completion, and
in some instances failed entirely in getting
the close of them. Over one hundred
manuscript pages of the JAY-HAwKER are
now ready for the hands of the printer, and
we find it work of thrilling interest,
weaving in all the troubles in Southern
Kansas for the last two years, and bring
ing to light much of the secret working
of that movement, unknown. to any save
those who have been behind the curtains.

On last Tuesday night it was our good
fortune, with that of many ofour citizens,
to attend a Festival at the Unitarian
church of this city, to celebrate the birth
day anniversary of our own noble WASH
YsroN; and also, to raise a fund toward
completing their church edi6ce. The
entertainment consisted Of tableaux, to-
sether with good variety of refresh
ments. Much opportunity was afforded
for social enjoyment, and we were pleased
to observe the general good feeling, and
satisfaction that prevailed. Much credit
is due to the managers and actors, in the
representations Of the various tableaux, for
their good taste and promptness in the
life pictures presented. Some of the pieces
we're very excellent, among which we
might name the one representing the
Prosperity of all Nations. We cannot
particularize for want of space, but trust q
good sum was realized for the desired OBJ.
