unity, the same paper adds-"It is Just the
principles of 1889 against which we are now
dghting so hard on the battle field, and which
we must continue to resist in the most deter
mined manner in all directions-in Church
and State, in our homes, and in society"
With the abolition of thepurchase system
in the army, says an English paper, we may
look for the abolition before long of the
purchase system in the Church. The traffic
in the next presentation" to lvinps may be
legitimate, but it offends weaker brethren;
and considering how many of our brethren
are becoming weaker every day, the sooner
the practice of advertising the infirmities of
aged incumbents who tarry too long in their
comfortable berths-or, to speak more cor
rectly, their spheres of usefulness put
an end to the better. Now that under the
new scheme of army reform no man will be
allowed to superintend the killing of his
fellow creatures officially merely because he
has money in his purse, we can hardly con-
tinue to allow Dives to purchase the privilege
of experimenting the spiritual welfare of
Lazarus. In fact, the slaughter of bodies and
the salvation of souls must be placed on the
same footing. A parish full of sinners is no
doubt great luxury, but is far too sacred
subject for the auctioneer's hammer, and
new lock must be devised for the pulpit
which cannot be picked by golden key
Whatever may be the ultimate fate of
Turkey, there can be no doubt that she is
struggling hard not only to preserve her ex-
istence but also to become a great nation.
We learn from the IurQuie that a committee
had been formed for the translation into
Turkish of the literary and scientific works of
the most eminent writer's of all nations If
this new scheme is carried out in real earnest
the youth of Turkey, it is hoped, will be ini-
tiated into those intellectual masterpieces
which are the charm of the whole world.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

DUeKED, BUT NOT acknowledgements Cliff
ford tells us that he got good ducking on FRI
day evening of last week in Campbells Creek, a
small stream about two miles this side of Hoopa.
The creek was swollen by the recent storms so
as not to be fordable and very swift But
as the current seemed to be but few feet in
width, Mr.. Clifford thought he could dash
across. The banks were brushy and steep with
but one place to go in and come out of the
stream. Upon reaching the middle, the force of
the current whired bis mue around head up
stream, and striking the animal on the breast
keeled it over backwards upon the rider. Hang
ing to the horn of his saddle Clifford wallowed
with his mule down stream to a tree trunk some
distance below where he started. The mule
went under the timber, but Clifford caught hold
of the friendly log and by its aid obtained terra
frma The mule, after struggling about thirty
wards lower down, came out on the other side.
Clifford being the same side he started from
and minus his mule, was obliged to foot it back
to Krkhams, distance of seven miles. Next
morning he retraced his steps to search for his
lost quadruped, and found it standing on the
Dank ABOUT HlleeH OF twenty rect from Wnefe III
got out of the water. He had been in the habit
of tying the halter to a string around the pom
mel of the saddle, but as luck would have it, the
string had broken, and at the time of the acei-
dent, the halter was fastened to the canteenas
through the hole by means of which they were
hung upon the saddle. When the mule was
overturned in the water the canteenas, contain
ing quantity of mail matter and one hundred
dollars in gold dust for Alex. Tinsey, fell off,
but being fast to the halter the animal dragged
them out. The weight of the canteenas and its
water-soaked contents caused madam mule to
believe that she was tied fast and accordingly
she remained standing all night at the spot
where she found next morning. Mr.. Cliff
ford says he narrowly escaped drowning and
considered the recovery of his canteenas a highly
fortunate circumstance.

NOVEL TRAP.-Some time since James An
derson, of Oregon Gulch, started to dig well
On his ranch. After getting it down about
twelve feet the work got to be too hard for Jim,
and he gave it up as a bad job. A few weeks
ago he happened to be going by the hole and
discovered live rabbit in the bottom, which be
immediately captured and of it prepared a sump-
tuous dinner. While partaking of said repast,
an idea struck jim; singular, wasn't it p he
determined to cover the shaft with some small
SUCKS, straw, ETC., and put little bait in the
centre of this covering, so that the rabbits would
come to nbble at it and fall into the hole He
"'u so and now has more rabbits than he knows
what to do with.

picking at the time in n doubled up position, and
sprang for dear life The bed rock behind him
rose up abruptly at a short distance from the
avalanche of earth aud barred his escape. The
main body of the cave jammed him against the
bedrock from the thighs down. and not having
had time to straighten up the loose earth fell on
his neck and shoulders, bowng his head forci-
bly, upon his chest Messrs. Woodbury. and
Fnnegan extrcaled him as soon as possible
and with the aid of Others conveyed him on a lit

clan in charge, reports that the entire anterior
and lateral muscles of the right leg are torn
away and terribly lacerated from near the knee
TO the foot, leaving the bone bare, but that no

ders but these not dangerous. There is no
doubt but that the accidental passing of Mr..
Woodbury. saved the lives of both Finnegan and
Malone. Both of them would otherwise have
