RAILROAD CoNNEcrIoN,-The last rail
has been laid on the road from Kalama
to Hodgdon's, sixteen miles from Olym-
pia, and regular daily trains will soon
commence running the length Of the
line. The road from Olympia to the
railroad is principally gravel, and com
paratively good at all seasons. Passen-
gers by this route can leave Olympia
after breakfast and arrive in Portland
on the evening of the same day, making
the trip much more comfortably than
any one of the three days formerly oc-
cupied in the journey.

A few days since HenryJ. Holmes re-
turned to this city with his bride, whom
he married in Prairie City, Polk county,
Iowa. Twenty three years ago, Holmes
left the lady in the place mentioned to
make his fortune in California, the two
being at the same time engaged. The
luck usual with most of the forty-niners
was his and after long and unsuccess.
full labor he settled down to legitimate
business, in which he managed to slowly
accumulate property. After time he
returned to Iowa for his bride but her
brother was afflicted with a long and
tedious illness, and the faithful sistef
would not leave him. The illness ter
minated in death q few months since,
and then the lady wrote her betrothed
the two having corresponded regular
ly all this time-that she was free and
he might come again. Holmes was now
possessed of q comfortable competence,
and he was still faithful. He promptly
responded to the summons, married the
lady, and is now settled in the enjoy
ment of domestic happiness. It 10 seA

The English Agricultural Laborers.

According to its report there are now
10000 members enrolled in the Agri.
cultural Laborers' Union in England.
There are few counties in which it has
not obtained foothold. After paying
all expenses, and sending delegates to
carry on the agitation in every direc-
ton, there is q balance of E2,5OO in the
treasury. The result of the general
agitation has been that wages have risen
at least shilling q week over the coun-
try, and in many cases four shillings.
Forty dollars is now paid for the harvest
month, where twenty-five was paid
formerly. It is expected that sixteen
shillings, instead of ten, will be the
general rule next summer. The dark
side of the movement is the bitterness
it has engendered. The farmers have
fought it to the last, the landlords stand
ing by them. One landlord, the Duke
of Marlborough, has written letter Of
defiance to the men in the movement,
in which he lays down the rule that a
laborer's cottage on his estates shall
hereafter be vacated whenever the Ia
borer is dismissed by his employer
More unguarded still, the Bishop oi
Ripon, despite his cloth. recommends
the agitators to bs put under the parish
pump.

Perilous Politeness.

The following is an extract from some
recollections of Washington Irving in
the Homo Journal:
"I was nearly killed by an Indian
once" said Irving one evening. !" When
was young man was travelling in
Canada with friend. There were
moro Indians there then than there are
white men now. One raw, chilly day
we were rowing in q canoe on the st.
Lawrence, with an Indian for guide.
As we neared the spot where Ogdens-
burg now stands, he invited US to his
wigwam to get something to eat. Sc
curing the canoe to the shore, we fol
lowed him a short distance to his hut,
where We found his squaw busily cook
ing venison. Our guide motloned Us to
a seat by the fire, and then proceeded
to bring large quantity Of whisky.
Ny friend watched him closely; but l
talked to his wife, who at first gave me
short answers, glancing ct her lord and
master to zee If he listened, which he
seemed not to do; then she talked
more freely. The squsw was Tery ugly,
having the overburdened look sisst yen
sea among Indian women; %, from
half pity, as che took the large baunch
from the FIRE, / rose to ass;st her Al
the same moment her jealous hrs5a7f]
raised large club, striking rae on the
head blow that made me fail izissnsi-
BILE at his feet. As he vas aavut 70 re-
peat the blow, my friend caught me IL
his arms, and, rushing from the wig
wan, deposited me in the canoe, and
was taking me rapidly down tAs ssresni
before our half drunken parsaer
reached the shore. l soon recovered
my senses, but never was polite to =

Rstherer, Chambers by name, obtained
the certificate of three respectable
physicians of New York city to the
effect that he had become insane, and,
armed with this document, our hero, in
charge of an utter stranger named
Townsend, applies and is admitted to
the asylum as non compos nsentis. Not
withstanding the fact that the officers
of that asylum have declared repeatedly
that it would be impossible for person
of sane mind to gain admission to that
institution as q patient, he remains,
and is treated for lunacy for two weeks,
during which time he is slyly " "takin'
notes, and faith he'll print 'em." At
the end of the period above mentioned,
the Tribune authorities, thinking infor.
nation enough had been gained, ap-
piled for writ of habeas corpus in
order to secure his release. Thereupon
the managers of the asylum, fearing a
thorough Investigation would result if
this proceeding were allowed to take its
own course, posted off to the Tribune
Office, and induced them to sign papers
for the discharge Of Chambers, when
our sham lunatic was set at liberty.

Some Symptoms.

The symptoms of maidenly celibacy
are various, but may generally be de-
tected as follows:
When a woman begins to drink her
tea without sugar, or read love stories
abed, or gives a sigh on hearing Of q
wedding, or begins to say that she has
refused many an offer, or begins to find
fault with her looking glass, and say it
doesn't show her features right, or be-
gins talking about cold drafts and stops
up the crevices in the doors and win
dows, or begins to say what dreadful
set of creatures men are, and that she
wouldn't be bothered with one for the
world, or begins to change her shoes
every time she comes into the house
after walk, or begins to have little
dog trotting after her, or begins to have
q cat at her elbow ct meal time, and
gives it sweetened milk, or begins tc
say that q servant has no business u
have a sweetheaSt, OF begins to 60 Il
bed with her stockings and aanne
night cap on-that's symptom; ant
when she begins to put her fingers be
fore her mouth when talking to anyone
for fear they should see she's losing he
teeth-that's symptom, and bad one
and the case needs immediate attention
from somebody.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Avoid the Periis of the Season. Autumn.
although the most radiant portion of the
American year, has its drawbacks. The heavy
evening dews and morning vapors and the
great disparity in temperature between the
night and day, give rise to many painful dis
turbances of the bowels, such as collie, cholera
morbus, diarrhea and dysentery. The diges-
tive organs are also unfay0rably affected by
the change of season, and dyspeptics generally
suffer most severely during the fall. Derange-
ments of the liver are likewise common, and
miasmatic feyers prevail in newly settled dis
tricts and low-lying and marshy localities.
These unpleasant contingencies of the season
are not, however. unavoidable. By strength
ening, toning and regulating the system with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters even the most deli
cate may escape them. At the expiration of
summer all the bodily powers are in some
what exhausted state. They require the whole
some stimulation which this genial vegetable
intigorant supplies. Under its renovating in
fiuence the nervous energy which the willing
heat of July and August had kept in allegiance
or partially extinguished, crops out afresh;
the faccid muscles recover their elasticity; the
appetite takes sharper edgd; the processes
of digestion and assimilation become more
rapid and perfect; the spirits rise. and the
whole organization acquires its maximum of
activity and resistant power. Even persons of
comparatively feeble constitutions. when thus
fortified against the perils of the season, will
have little cause to fear visitation from any
of the disorders which we have referred to.
As a protection against miasmatic feyers and
all epidemics engendered by malaria1iostet-
ter's Bitters may be justly pronounced not
only unrivalled but unapproached. Look well
to the label and trade mark, as there are many
counterfets and limitations in the market.
