The N. II. Il. K

The Walla Walla Slatesman says, the
people living ON Puget Sound begin to re-
alize that ut tue last session of Congress
they were ''sold out" and Portland prsc
tically made the terminus of the North
Pacific Railroal. To hedge off on this ar
rangcment they now prosose connection
with road crossing the mountains direct
to Stcilacoom. A petition TO Congress ask
ing Government aid forit, says: "Wheress,
the main branch of the North Pacific Rail-
road has been reversed from the original
design of crossing the Cascade Mountains
direct to Puget Sound, and made to pass "
hundred and twenty miles around by the
Willamette Valley, which does in effect
nullfy the commercial advantages OF Put
get Sound ald its many harbors;
Therefore, VIC pray your Honorable Body
to grant charter and liberal donation Of
land for the construction OF Railroad
from Stcilacoom City, the head Of Puget
Sound, in Washington Territory, across
81 tho Cascade Mountains via the great Valley
Of the Yakima, to @Walla Wa!la City, w.
T.; thence to Boise City, tue Capital If
Idaho Territory, and thence to the Central
Pacific Railroad, ut tie most suitable

Scenes II, Japan.

A street called the Tokcdia is the Broad.
way of Yeddo. 1t is twenty miles long,
and very much crowded. But there is y
vast difference in the appearance OF the two
thoroughfarcs. There arc no vehicles in
use in Japan, and the pavemcnts extend
from one side of the street to the other
No provision is made for the passage OF
carriages, omnibusses or wagons, for there
are none in existence, and persons on foot
take possession of the whole highway.
The entire metropolis Is built of wood, and
one dwelling is a representative OF oil.
A Japanese house at the first glance re-
sembles child's toy house on large scale.
The floor is raised about two feet above
the earth, and there is covered porch in
front, resting upon the ground. After en-
tering the porch you step up into tho house,
always leaving your shoes behind you. 1t
is considered very great breach Ut propri'
ETY. to enter dwelling without removing
ones boots. They wear only sandals,
covered with leathern thong, which they
can shuttle on. or off in al instant. This Gus.
tom is but of little moment to the natives,
but foreigners find it very troublesemeonc.
The porch answers as depository for
shoes, and, in passing the house, the num-
ber of visitors may he known by counting
the number Of pairs Of sandals on the porch.
When the walls OF the house are up it
consists of but one large room, which Is
then cut up by partitions, which arc moth.
ing more than sliding scenes that close up
into each other in fashion that admits Of
one apartment being divided into dozen
distinct ones instantly. They are no chin
neys attached to the houses, and they con
tain no beds, chairs or tables The floors
arc covered with series Of clean bamboo
mats or cushions, each six feet by three,
and nicely bound with rcd or blue tape.
They are stuffed with light wool or moss,
and arc as soft and yielding to pressure as
the heaviest Brussels velvet. These mats
fit in with each other rs regularly as the
squares on u chess board, and the whole
floor is kept as clean and is busted as often
as the mahogany siAcboard in the house OF
Dutch burger. No deck of dirt is ever
allowed to rest upon the polished surface
of the mating, and to step upon it with "
pair of boots would be q greater insult than
to make footstool of seven hundred dol
lar piano. The family sit upon the mat
ting all Guy, with their legs bent under
them, in shape that would give any for
eigncr incurable paralysis in fifteen minu-
tes, and they sleep upon itat night. A
japanese pillar is curiosity !" ITS way:
1t is nothing but rocker OF cradle broad
enough to stand alone, with scmicular de-
preston on the upper side. The Japanes"
lie full length upon the floor, place not
their head, but their neck, in the crescent
shaped hollow on the upper side Of the pill
low, and rock themselves to sleep in few
minutes

The Case Of Thomas l.. Lloyd.

His Sentence for Nans!aughter.
In the 18th District Court, yesterday, yes
tcrday, Judge McKinstry rendered an opin.
ion in tho case of tho People vs.. Thomas L.
Lloyd, indicted for the murder of J. Barry,
and convicted of manslaughter. The pris.
oner, by his counsel, moved for . new trial
on the ground that the Court erred in charg.

ness had wilfulIy testified falsely in any
matter material to the issue, it was their
duty to reject all of his testimony, and that
they must, in order to find a verdict of
guilty of manslaughter, find that the prison.
or acted under the fear of receiving at the
hands Of deceased, grave and permanent
bodily injury. Tho Court held that there
was no error in either of the instructions
and cited the authorities which sustain that
opinion.
The prisoner was finally told to stand up
for sentence. He did SO, and the Court
after stating in brief the history of the
trial--said any person who had heard the
testimony must be satisfied that the verdict
did him no injustice. It is time, said the
Judge, that certain erroneous ideas which
prevail in this community, concerning the
right of self defense, were corrected-time
that the sham spirit of honor which impels
men to say, IF man strikes me l will
kill him." was broken down and destroyed.
It ought to be understood here that no mere
civil trcsspass on real estate will excuse
taking the life Of the trespasscr. In the
case of even u criminal trespass on the per-
son, the person killing must act under fes

Colorado Seeking adm stssiop.

Mr. Hollistcr, in one Of his late letters
from Utah to the Chicago Tribune, says of
the proposition to erect Colorado into .
State:
The people of the Territory are self-re.
liant, well organized, socially and politically,
bright, enterprising, ambitious, and spirit
ed. The interests of the section are in .
good degree national. 1t has produced $780,.
coo, 600 to $50, ,000, 600 in gold and silver. 1t
has paid three-fourths of million dollars
into the public Golfers. Years ago it raised
and equipped armies. 1t furnished more
than its quota of troops for the war, and
this without any draft Its taxable wealth
is between $15, 900, 900 and t20, ,oo0, ,0Oo 1t
is the favorite field for railroad enterprises
Competing lines may almost be said to be
building by the two great interests repre-
scnted by the Union Pacific and Kansas
Pacific, to the remotest mining districts.
Within year or two it is sure to be as well
supplied with railroad facilities as it needs
to be. Its agricultural has overtaken and
passed its mining interests, and it is fast
stocking its limit!css grazing ground for the
equally lmitlcss demands of the future
Who will be wronged by the admission Of
such Territory into the Union! Even
with so, 900 population only? To be sure it
will have as many votes in the Senate as
New York or Illinois, but not As much IN.
lluence, even in the Senate, let alone the
House and other departments of the gov
ernment Senator Stewart may be as able
man as Senator Conkling, but his words
arc not so weighty. They may be in theory
but they are not in fact Aud suppose COL
orado should have as much influence in tho
Senate Is New York or Illinois? Provided
it is good influence, can there be too much
of it? Where and how can the northern
and eastern States ever be brought or plac.
ed in antagorism with each other? Their
interests and pursuits are the same as are
their ideas on all subjects, and they must
always he, substantially, because the peo-
pie are Of the same blood, End the country,
the soil, the climate, tho sky, and the stars
ore the same. 1t would not harm these
great States, and it would greatly benefit
this plucky little Territory to let it into the
Union. 1t has interests, chict of which is
the protection of its citizens in their lives
and property from the prowling centaur
savages Of the plains, which arc not regard
ed at Washington and never will or can be
until it is properly represented there. Is
there any good reason why Colorado, with
the habitable degree Of Wyoming adjoining,
should not be consolidated and admitted in
to the Union, and thus the expenses and
fuss and botheration Of two Territories
saved?

The Statue.

The Statue.
In Athena when oil learning ccntersd there,
Men reared = column Of surprising height
In honor Of Minerva, wise and fair,
And on the top that dwindled to the sight
statue Of the Goddess was to stand,
That wisdom might obtain In all the land.
And he who. with the beauty in his heart
Seeking In faultlcsp work immortal youth,
Would mould this statue with the finest art,
Making tho vintry marble glow with truth,
Should gain the prize Two sculptors sought the fame
The prize they cravcd was an enduring name.
Alcamencs soon carved his little best:
But Phidias, beneath dazzling thought
That like bright sun in the cloudless west
Lit up his vide great soul, with pure love wrought
A statue, and its face Of changclcss stone,
With calm, fsr-sighted wisdom lowered and sbone
Then TO be judged the labors were unveiled;
But At the marble thought, that by degrees
OF hardship Phidias cut, the people rallied.
The lines are coarse; the form toe large said these
"Ard hs who sends this rough result Of haste
Sends scorn and Offers Insult to eur TASTE"

Upon the capital where It might stand;
But there 1t seemed too small, and 'gainst the sky
Had no proportion from the uplooking land;

Ard the soorncd thought was mounted to be tried.

And changed them rs a sudden breeze may change

THE CAi,sese-zhcir Experience IN

They will not take paper equivalent 10
their earnings, but demand tho coin, which
they carry about their persons with no
fear Of thieves among their own numbers
They carry much more baggage, cooking

sleep in tents, dozen together, along the

died since their arrival. His remains were
buried by his comrades, cofaned, In shall
low grave, with candle and matches, .
bowl Of cooked and I bag of. raw Hoo, and
q pair of chop sticks. The clothes Of the
dead man were burned beside the grave,
and a head board was inscribed with thc
name, age, residence, and date Of death in
Chinese characters. The laborers intend to
carry tie body home with them when they
return to China. Still another Chinaman
has been killed BY . blow frsm brutal

continually raised whether bonds of the United

whether the obligations OF the COVE. niaent Should
