CRISIS. Hudson, of the California
Legislature, recently introduced resolu-
tion commencing, Whereas, crisis has
arrived in the American Government"
etc., which gives Prentice Mulford occa-
sion to say:
I believe the American Government
has ever since its formation been in a
state of crisis. It has never been out of
one in my recollection. I first became
conscious of politicsin Harrison, g Tippe-
canoe -and-T yler-too" era. That was a
time of crisis. Well, sir, the crisis has
run on and on like protracted meeting
ever since. There was once in my life
time a cessation of the crisis. It was
while I was out of the live world on
whaling voyage. But then. you see. that
was on account of my getting out of the
country, and consequently out of the cri-
sis. When 1 arrived home it was going
on just the same as ever. Indeed, they
said then it was worse, for the secession
ebulition had commenced. Well, when
that was settled, l did think it was over.
But no. Mr.. Hudson, of Sonoma coun-
ty, has received it, and says that his
particular crisis is of a more " acrid and
alarming nature than any proceeding
it." The crisis is an American institu-
tion. 1t is necessary, inherent, national,
invetable. I welcome it. like it. It
is to me familiar, time-honored and over
grown with old associations.

Oregon, the Poor Mans Country.

The following remarks, under the
above caption, are from that spicy little
journal. the San Francisco Figaro
Since the scarcity of work and high
rents must unavoidably compel thousands
to leave the city, the serious question
arises, Where are they to go? The Bal-
ietin advises them to ''go to the country"
but to what quarter? Where can they
find lands for settlement? What portion
of the productive domain is not already
occupied and improved, or in possession
of the grabbers. who demand more than
the poor settler can afford to pay? Where
can he find rest and establish for himself
home
We answer, to Oregon, to Washington
Territory, while there are vast areas of
unoccupied lands as fertile as the richest
valleys of California, and which are still
available to the settler at Government
prices. The tourist who ascends Mount
Hood can overlook territory of bewil.
dering magnitude, of prodigious fertili
ty, capable of sustaining ten millions of
people, and still comparatively uninhab-
tied. We will refer only to the valley of
the Willamette, 200 miles long, SO miles
wide, seven-eighths of the whole expanse
susceptible of cultivation, and not more
than one-fifth has ever been disturbed by
the plow. This great valley, as fertile as
the lands bordering the Nile, is inhabited
by some 10000 people; it would sustain
million And this is only one of the
great agricultural regions that invite the
settler to the North, and which in the
lifetime of some now living, will comprise
one of the richest agricultural communi-
ties IN the Union.
1t is short-sighted policy that would
over-crowd our own State with landless
Inhabitants, who must exist merely as
tenants at the will of great land owners,
while there is a vast empire of latent
wealth inviting them to sister State,
whose prosperity is inseparable from our
own. We, of California, know too little
of Oregon. We have called it "The
Poor Mans Country" yet it is not the
country of poor men. The settlers in
those broad and teeming valleys are rich
in productive lands, rich in swarming
hocks, rich in contentment and happi-
ness, and rich in the promise of glori.
GUS future.

MODES OF WALKING.-Observi
persons move rather slow; their eyes,
and sometimes their heads, moving al
ternately from side to side, while they
occasionally stop and look around.
Careful persons lift their feet high
and place them down lightly and firmly,
and frequently pick up some obstruction
and place it down quietly by the side of
the way.
Rejecting and calculating persons
generally walk with their hands in their
pockets and their heads slightly inclined.
Modest persons generally step softly for
fear of being observed.
Timid persons often step off from the
sidewalk on meeting another, and prefer
going round stone to picking it up.
Shrewd yet shallow persons " toe
out" and have a long swing of their
arms, while their hands are always in
their way.
Wide awake persons also " toe out, "
move rapidly, with their bodies inclined
forward, while their heads have jerky
motion from side to side. and their arms
swing steadily close to their bodies.
Careless persons are forever stubbing
! their toes.
Lazy persons scrape about loosely with
| their heels, and are first on one side and
then on the other.
Very strong minded persons place their
toes directly in front of them, and have
kind of stamp movement.
Unstable persons walk fast and slow
by turns.
Venturous persons try all roads, fre
quently climb the fences instead oil
going through the gate, and never lei
down bar.
One-idea persons, and always selfish
ones, " toe in"
Cross persons are very apt to hit their
knees together.
Good-natured persons snap their fn-
gers and thumbs every few steps.
Fun-loving people have kind of JIG
movement.

MINING UNDER THE SEA.--There is
vast copper mine in England, where
shafts extend many hundred yards under
the sea. The moaning of the waves as
they dash against the rock is forever
sounding in those gloomy aisles. When
the storms come, the sound OF the waters
becomes so terrific that even the boldest
miners cannot stay below, but leave their
work and come out upon earth. Over
head are masses of bright copper stream
ing through the gallery in all directions,
traversed BY network of thin red veins
of iron, and over all the salt water drips,
drips down from tiny crevices in the
rock. Immense wealth of metal is con-
tanned in. these roofs, but no miner dafes
give it another stroke with his pickaxe
Already there has been one days work
too much upon it, as q huge wedge OF
wood driven into the rock bears witness
The wedge is all that keeps back the sea
from bursting in upon them. Yet there
are three tiers Of galleries where men
work day by day. not knowing but at
some fatal hour the food may be upon
them, rendering all escape a. hopeless as
it was in the days of Noah. The awe
stricken visitor hurries away from the
scene with heart appalled, in view Of
the hourly dangers ~

The Galesburg Ill) Free Press of
December 80 says: A case of sudden
or violent fright occurred in our neigh
boring town of Abingdon on Monday
last, which should prove sad and inn
pressive warning to all who are partial to
indulging in practical jokes. 1t seems
from what we can learn, that on that day
a party of boys, distinguished by hide
GUS marks and grotesque garments, called
at the residence of an estimablc lady,
Mrs. George FL. Marshall, in that place.
They entered noiselessly at the back door,
and succeeded in frightening an infant
almost into convnlsions. Mrs. NJ, hear
ing the horri6ed scream of her child,
Immediately hastened TO its assistance to
shield and protect it from harm. In
hurrying to her child, she suddenly en-
countered the masked figures and fell
fainting to the floor. She was shortly
afterwards found by her friends, and
proper remedies were administered, but
her revival was only witnessed by the
horrifying fact that she was hopelessly
insane. Up to this writing, we regret to
say that no lucid intervals have been de-
veloped, and the woman once happy
wife and proud mother, is now araving
maniac, bcreff of reason and covering in
fright.

DEATH OF A HERcuLEAN OLD Ma,

DEATH OF A HERCULEAN OLD MAN.
Isaac Eaton, aged 90 years, died on
Christmas, at his residence near South
Bend, Indiana. He was soldier of the
war of 1872, and was at Washington
when that city was captured by the Brit
ish. In his younger days Mr.. Eaton was
man of great strength. The South
Bend Register, in speaking of this char
acteristic of his, says:
In the war of 1872 Eaton served with
the Virginia militia, under the command
of General Mason, Virginian, born in
the same county with Eaton, about twelve
years his junior, and the most popular
man In the army. 1t is very probable
that military discipline was very lax in
those times, and one day, at general re-
view, Mason rode up and down the lines,
prociaiming that he had man in his
command who could whip anything in
the whole army. This challenge, several
times repeated, was at length respond
ed to by perfect giant of fellow
from Pennsylvania regiment, who
came stalking down the lines, and
asked General Mason to bring out his
man. The General ordered Eaton out of
the ranks. He was eyed by the Penn
sylvaaian with about as much scorn as
Goliath was supposed to have looked up
on David. Word was given to begin the
battle, and there, before the whole Amer
ican army, formed in a hoHow square.
the two men stripped to the waist and
began the combat; but, in less time than
it takes to tell it, Eaton lifted his hercu.
lean opponent from the ground, and,
twirling him over with apparently as
much ease as dandy would cane, held
him up before the whole army in this in
verted position, until the giant Pennsyl.
vanian begged for quarter. At another
time, in. Kentucky, Eaton was forced to
accept . challenge to fight, and on the
first encounter threw his opponent to the
ground with such force as to break nearly
all his ribs.
