RAINY WEATHER.-lt is a curious
circumstancesthat the excessive rains
Of the past seasons, and which, in
this country, have prevailed mainly
on the east side Of the Allegheny
range, have also obtained in West
ern Europe. The English mails bring
accounts of almosttropical rain storms
in that country, and late cable dis
patches report heavy storms, which,
as the crops are about being gather
ed, is Of moment as presaging q def:
cheney in the yield of grain. A rainy
season in this country has not hurt
the wheat, while it will add cnor>

The SUNKEN LAKE.-The Sentinel
published at Jacksonville, Oregon, Of
the 18th ult., says: "Several of our
citizens returned last week from a
visit to the Great Sunlen Lake, sit
uated in Cascade Mountains, about
seventy>fve miles northeast from
Jacksonville. This lake rivals the
famous valley of Sinbad, the sailor.
1t is thought 20 average 1000 feet
down to the water all round The
walls are almost perpendicular, run
ming down into the water, and leav-
ing no beach. The depth Of the water
is unknown, and its surface is smooth
and unruffled, and it lies so far below
the surface of mountain that the air
currents do not affect it. Its length
is estimated at II miles, and its
breadth at 10. No living man ever
has, and probably never will be able
to reach the waters edge. 1t lies
silent, still and mysterious in the boz
som of the everlasting hills like q
huge well. scooped out by the hands
Of the giant genii of the mountain in
unknown ages gone by, and around
it the primeval forest watch and
ward are keeping. The visiting par
ty fired a rife several times into the
water at an angle of torty-five de-
grees, and were able to note several
seconds from the discharge Of the gun
until the ball struck the water. Such
seems incredible, bmt is vouched for
by some Of our most reliable cit
liens. The lake is certainly most
remarkable curiosity
A RECEIPT WORTH ONE THOUSAND
DoLLARs.-TheO Ohio Cultaudtor says:
"Take one pound of sal soda and
half pound of unslacked lime, put
them in gallon of water, and boil
twenty minutes; let it stand till cool,
then drain off, and put it in a jug or
jar; soak your dirty clothes over
night, or until they are well wet
through, then wiring them out and
rub on plenty Of soap, and in one
boiler of cloth es well covered with
water, add one tea. cupful of the wash
ing fluid; boil half an hour, briskly,
then wash them thoroughly through
one suds, rinse them, and your clothes
will look better than by the old way
of washing twice before boiling"
This is an Invaluable receipt. Let ev-
cry woman who washes, try it.

Strong. but Sound Talk.

A Washington newspaper, supposed to
be in the interest Of the President, thus
threatens in the event of an attempt at his
impeachment:
eff necessary his strong and iron hand
will be invoked to stay the course, and pre-
vent the consummation of radical trea. on.
The great oath of the President to protect
and defend the constitution will not be for
cotton, and the people who sustain him
with their 5000 majority of the voting
population North and South, will not forget
him. Events have already brought the
government to the very verge of another
revolution. If the radical majority in
Congress pursues its reasonable course
much longer, the government, in order to
sustain itself, will have to arm its supper
ters At the call of the President, his
friends North and South, and the army and
navy will respond in such contest The
issue cannot be doubtful. Congressman
may be noble fighters on the floor of Con
gress, but when they come to lead their
cohorts into the field, it will be another
thing The real armies and great soldiers
of the Republic will be found fighting under
the flag We advise the opposition of the
determined and fixed fate, that Andrew
johnson will serve out his constitutional
term of Office.

A CLEAN of Return ming Sense.

The following is from an article in the
New York Nation about the recent supreme
court decision:
We have commented elsewhere on the
conouct of the court in embarking in de-
cision on points which came in no way be-
fore it. But we hope this whole matter,
grave and important as it is, will open the
eyes of the public to the great danger there
is that the brecches of law and of propriety
into which over-zeal on behalf of the right
now carries us may be one day used against
US in defence of the wrong. 1t is not very

cipherable by none but himself. When in
barracks he would write on paper by the

He read little, talked less, but eyinced
much partiality for wrestling, at which
practice he was an adept Sometimes he

HsSFN A curious story is told of the way in
which Flemish lace used to be smuggled in
to France by means of dogs trained for the

where he was tied up, halt starved, and i'll

then fitted to his body, the intervening
space filled with lace. The dog was then
allowed to escape and make his way home,
where he was kindly received with his con.

CONGRESS. The Milwaukee Neus says
with much truth the following in relation
to the congress now iR session:
Congress has now been in session toward
two months and has not performed one act
for the benefit Of the people On the con-
trary, its entire time and attention is devo-
ted to the single object of perpetuating the
the principal questions now under discus
sion have reference to that object The
time of the entire session is to be squander-
ed in this manner; and not satisfied with
this, the majority have secured perpetu-
alton of this sort of business, by authoriz-
ing the new congress to assemble as soou as
this congress adjourns. Judging from the
past, goodly proportion of the people act
ually rejoice in paying the expenses Of this
self-perpetuating nuisance.
