How BEECHER BEGAN PREACHING
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher tells this
on himself in the New York Christian
Union:
l was asked to cross the river from
Cincinnati and preach in COvington,
and l went over and began to preach
there. I did not know but / was going
to stay there. But i was soon called by
a woman To I4awrenceburg. She was
the factOtum of the whole church. And
went there and spoke to well nigh
empty building. / was settled over a
town with two distilleries and twenty
devils in il. l was very poor. There
was no patrimOny coming TO me, as you
know. The moment | was out of the
seminary ! was without my father
support, and was obliged TO take care OF
myself L had salary, but il was a
salary of only 800. And | took half OF
that to go to New England to get mar
ried. And as the parish paid only hall
OF 1t, and the other half was to come
from the missionary society, / found
| myself short of funds. / had lust
eighteen cents i'm my pocket when
came back. | was taken up by a good
Methodist brother for about week, and

A REMARKABLE REGIoN.-The Dele

A REMARKABLE REGIQN.-The Dele
gate from Montana, aided by prominent
citizens of the Territory, is urging Con-
gress TO set apart and reserve perma-
nently as a National Park the wonder
full region, some sixty by seventy miles
square, about the source OF the Yellow
stone River. This locality is pronounced
the most remarkable region i'm the
world. Within the era mentioned are
eataracts of prodigious height, canyons
$500 feet deep, and volcanoes, hot springs
without number, and greatest of all,
there are geysers which at regular in
tervals of a few hours throw col
umns of hot water, eight feet in diane
ter, two hundred feet high. With the
completion of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road, near the line OF which these Won
ders occur, tens of thousands of tourists
and sight-seers will annually visit these
marvels of nature, and, rs in the case of
the Yosemite Valley of California, il is
only fitting that the locality should re-
main in possession of the Government,
and thus be kept free from the annoy
ances and abuses which would necessa-
rily attend private ownership. The re-
giOn is too elevated for agriculture,
hence the interests of settlers will not
be prejudiced by the proposed reserva-
| ton. 1t is predicted that when this
geyser region in Northern Wyoming
and Southern Montana is once rendered
accessible by railroad, few Americans
will wish TO go to Europe before having
visited this new wonderland on our own
continent.-Er.

The Vancouver Register thinks that
Garielde stands an excellent chance Of
being his own successor in Congress
again. The political sagaeity of the cd
itor must be very small.
The Vancouver RcgislCrsays the Quar-
termaster has ordered the removal OF
Mrs. Fields old house from the Govern
ment Reserve. Being 4 relic of the old
Hudson Bay times, its removal means
simply its destruction.
A bill is now before the California
Legislature to exempt editors and re-
porters of the press from jury duty.
The public is dependent upon this class
for its news; hence it is eminently proper
that they should not be trammeled with
such duties as any citizen can attend to.
Surely if men are excused on these
grounds, all the clap-trap about babies
being neglected when women vote and
serve on juries is nothing but the sheer
est nonsense.
The Olympia Co,Tier of the lst says
We see several of the Oregon papers rep
resenting the route from the Columbia
river as being impossible. While We
are willing to own up that the road is
rather bad, We emphatically deny tn,
impossible part. Mr.. COggan has no
failed in a single instance this winter t.
make his connection, and we ask, wher,
/ is there another mail contractor thai
can say as much? Many times we hav,
/ had no mail, but it has been the fault o
the boat and not the stage.
The Washington correspondent of th,
Eugene Journal says that Col. w. w
Chapman, of Portland, while in New
York not long since, visited Horace
Greeley, and endeavored to enlist hin
in favor of the Portland and Salt LAX
Railroad. The venerable Horace wa
down on all railroad grants, and whel
| told that the memorial of the Compan,
TO Congress quotes his Minnesota speecl
in favor of the road, he dried up instant
ly, and refused TO say anything furthe
OH the subject.
The Messenger Office at Monmouth
Oregon, recently caught fire, and cam
near being burned with all its contents
Happily, however, the principal damag
done was the partial burning of tn
mailing book. The fire originated b.
the editor endeavoring to fill a lighte
lamp with gasoline, from a small can
The fluid caught fire, which, being lie
drop, spilled the contents upon the floor
and thus spread rapidly to a five gallon
can. We have an idea that Bro. Camp
bell will not try that mode of fillin,
lamps very soon again.

THE RIGHT NIEw.-COl. HigginsOn,
in one of his admirable letters, well says
that so sacred a thing does motherhood
seem to me, so paramount and absorb
ing the duty Of a mother to her child,
that in true state of society think she
should be utterly free from all other
duties-eYen, if possible, from the or
dinary cares of housekeeping. If she
has spare health and strength to do
these other things as pleasures, very
well, but she should be relieved from
them as duties. And as to self-support,
l can hardly conceive of an instance
where it can be to the mother of young
children anything but a calamity. As
we all know, this calamity often occurs;
i have seen it among the factory Oper-
atives at the North, and among the ne
4 gro women in the cOtton-ficlds ut the
! South; in both cases it is a tragedy, and
/ the bodies and brains of mother and
children alike suffer. That the mother
should bear and tend and Nurture, while
the father supports and protects, this i
the true division. Does this bear in
any way upon suffrage? Not at all
The mother can inform herself upoI
public questions i'm the intervals of he
cares as well as the father among his
and the baby in the cradle is perpctua
appeal to her, as to him, that the insti
tutions under which that baby dwell
may be kept pure. One of the most de
voted young mothers l ever knew mad'
it a rule, no matter how much her chill
dren absorbed her, to read books o
newspapers for an hour every day-iI
order, she said, that their mother shoul'
be more than a mere source of physica
nurture, and that her mind should b.
kept fresh and alive for them. But q
demand i'm addition that such Il mOthe
should earn money for them is to asl
too much, and there is many tomb
stone i'm New England which, if it toll
the truth, would tell what comes of sucl
an effort.

broadway Wood had placed switch Of his own
Invention to prevent the Franklin avenue cars rom
running In his track. This switch, II appears, was
the cause OF great deal OF trouble TO the City Rail-
road men, as it tended TO throw their cars from
the track. One day upon arriving at Broadway
Conductor Ciark's car went or the track, and he
thereupon jumped or and taking out woods little
switch threw it to one side. Mr.. Wood caught him
anu caused his arrest. Clark was locked up for
hve hours and then taken before Justice voorhees,,
who at the close Of the hearing OF the case dis
charged him from custody. He subsequently
brought snit against Mr.. Wood for false imprson-
ment and malicious persecution, laying his dam
ages at $1,000.
The case was tried before Judge Nelson and
jury yesterday. Mr.. Thomas +. Pearsall conducted
Clark's case, while Messrs CrOOke Bergen de-
Tended President Wood. The defence was that the
plainilr had taken the switch with felonious
intent.
The Jury rendered verdict in favor Of plantin
and assessed damages at $4,000.
