THAT's ALL RIGHT.-How many of US
but use this expression a dozen times a
week, and have it to stick in the throat, at
least half of them? 1t is coming to be q
hypocritical appendage Of business and
social intercourse.
A spongcr goes behind the counter,
cuts off dimes worth of tobacco or
cheese, with an excuse that he wants to
" sample ii" aud the grocery man says,
" that's all right"
A customer returns pair Of shoes to
the dry goods man soiled and injured
after half days wear, gruntins, "they
are too small" and the merchant says,
" that's all right"
a church member puts his name down
for $25 to pay the preacher, aud when
called on, gives only SO, with the remark,
that :" the times are too hard" and the
parson says, that's all right"
a loatcr makes regular practice of
coming into printing Office, and begging
a copy of the paper, stating that he just
wants to read it," and the edition is short,
tho publisher grams with CHASTITY polite
ness, that's all right"
An cxtravagant debtor tells patient
creditor every time he meets him that he
Intends to pay that account "to morrow,
certain" and the poor dun turns off with
that's all right"
And so it goes. It's all wrong, and we
say it's all right, and by our want of spirit
and independence encourage laziness, i'm,
position, stingincss, and every other sin
under heaven.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-An Ottawa paper
OF late date publishes the following: We
learn that special dispatch from Wash
ington intimates that the forthcoming
decision of the test case on woman's suf.
frage made up in the District of Columbia
will recognize the fact that women are
entitled to vote under the Fourteenth
Amendment, and that it now only needs
Congressional legislation to point out how
this privilege can be made available in
order to have it secured to American wo.
men.

hr5- Letters pstent have bcen taken oat for
a new rail Tor railroads, which promises to do
away with the continuous rattle and jar 0f rail-
road travel. II is a continuous elastic Trail.
and the inventor and those who have examined
the principle Of its construction claim it has
important advantages over any rail now in use.
The rail is in two sections, the upper section
tapping over the lower. and they are fastened
together by horizontal bolts. Between the
sections is india rubber packing. fvc-cigh.hs
Of an inch in thickness. 1t is thought the use
of this rail will prove important in many re-
spects, and be much cheaper in the end than
those now in use. The upper section may be
made OF either iron or steel, and when worn
out can be rclaid without disturbing the under
section. A great expense will therefore be
saved in relaying the track. The india rubber
packing, it is commended, will give the car an
easy motion, and prevent the sharp concus-
sions which so frequently result in the break
ing of the axes. The savng every year to the
rolling stock, it is claimed, will be an item Of
very great Importance, and will commend the
use of this improvement to all companies that
study economy rs well rs safety. If the fric-
ton is lcssened as much as engineers claim it
will be by the adoption of this improvement,
the duration of the rails will be greatly pro-
longed.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILReAD.-A gentleman
who reached Portland from kalalna on We'd
nesday night informs us that the first twenty
five miles of the Northern Pacific Railroad will
not be completed before Saturday night. On
Tuesday morning there were two miles of
track TO lay, aud with the force engaged in
track-laying only little over one quarter of u
mile per day could be laid. The locomotive
brought up by the bark Rival had been placed
on the track, as also had the passenger coaches
manufactured for the road by the Oregon and
California Railroad at their machine shops.
1t is thought that the trains will CONNIE ice
running to the end Of the road by the 10th of
January, when pa ssengcrs for Olympia will be
transferred from Kalama to Humphreys Land
ing in about an hour and half instead of be-
ing compelled to make the long tedious journey
via the Cowlitz river ard Monticello. This
will shorten the time between Portland and
Olympia several hours-a boon for which all
who may have travel over the route before the
railroad is completed will be tlmnkful.-Bulle-
tin.

YREKA, Dee 2i.-lt continued raining
hard all night, but to-day has been quite
pleasant. 1t is raining again toni ght.
The snow on Scott mountain is four feet
deep. Stages from the south came in on
time to-day. Snow in the mountains
caused the lowest rivers to fill SO as to be
tcrried. The storm is so severe that it is
impossible to keep telegraph lines working
breaking faster than men can repair
them.
The first train from Sacramento this
week reached Red Bluff Friday morning.
3O,h-ll : 80 p. M.-To.day has been
partially clear, the first in Is DAYS, but it
is storming heavily again tonight.
Reports from the lower country say the
country below Marysvlle and Sacramento
is flooded and railroads are badly washed.
Trains connect with boats ut those places
for San Francisco, running regularly from
both north and east. No mail from the
south here since Monday owing to the
flood in Pitt River, it being impossible.
The telegraph worked FROM p. NJ. to IL
tonight, when it broke agin.
a heavy mail went north this evening.
Inc stage company Is eXerting every nerve
to get mails along, and stages are running
night and day.
YREKA, Dec. 25.-Christmas has passed
off very quietly; nothing going on. The
day has been wet and gloomy. 1t rained
all last night and is still raining. The
ground is becoming thoroughly soaked.
Stages came in on time to-day from the
SO 18th with an >thsr heavy mail.
The telegraph lines are interrupted
below Trinity Centre, where the storm is
more severe than here,

REUNION OF TIE VIRGINIAs.-Ncws
papers of the State of Old Virginia aud
West Virginia are agitating the reunion
Of those two States into the grand old
Commonwealth which was once the pride
and glory of the Union. She was severed
by the Radical sword for political purposes,
bu: as the Old and New State are now q
unit for Democracy, the separation has not
been SO satisfactory to the party who ac-
complished it, and it is believed they will
gladly acquicsce in the desire for a reun-
ion. Democrats, of course, favor the
unification as they opposed the separation,
and it is thought that an early reunion
will be effected, and that the Old Common
wealth which has given birth to so many
of the first statesmen and warriors of our
country will again assume her position at
the head Of the. sisterhood of the United
States. So mote it be.

"A CRY IN THE WILDERNESS. :"

We can afford to be magnanimous, and
reproduce the following racy letter to the
Port Townsend Argus, dated at S.eilacoom,
Dec. 2s, aud signed by " Observer" As
our friend Phillip Reach is known to be
q professional joker, We must attribute the
authorship to him, until he fluids somebody
else to bear the honors:
At II o'clock, sharp, on Christmas eve,
the two great land grabbcrs and railroad
kings Gov. Goodwin and General Sprague
(the latter the next candidate, from Olym.
pia, for delegate to Congrcss), aroused the
sleeping denizens Of the mud flats by fire.

they had concluded to accept their cultus
potiatcA Of lands, moneys and other valua-
bles, and locate a branch of their road on
frog or duck pond at or near Olympia !;
dangers of the sea excepted. When this
glorious decision was generally known men
women and children came tumbling out of
their several beds and rushing into the
muddy streets en- deshabiNe, Rugged aud
kissed one another Unfortunately. Had
it not been for the sable veil thrown
around these frantic people, the scene
would have been still more amusing. One
old maid, who said she had not been kissed
for thirty years, suffered brute of man
to embrace her, aud said it wasn't so bad
after all. After cutting various pranks
and making the night hiJeous with exult-
ant voices, they were shown back to their
sleeping apartments by the night police
But, their glory was clouded the next
morning to find the branch narrow gague
and indefinitely located. Some said the
west and others the east side had it, while
the more knowing ones declared that the
main depot would be anchored on the mud
flats three miles below town.
Old Blink,eye couldn't see how it was
possible to get iron aud other material up
to the terminus as no vessel of any size
could get above Balch's passage only on
extreme high tide. However, Gamc-eye
soon discovered plan to obviato this
difficulty and remarked that vessels of
large draught coull land their iron at Ia

subject the people to the ridicule that
must follow another kalamity.

a certain General Sturm, of Indiana, have a
nice little job which they mean to get through
Congress- this session, ifpos.ible. This Sturm
superintendent cartridge factory, established
during the war by the then Governor Morton.
After the war was over, Sturm was appointed
agent for the government of Mexico, and
shipped immense quantities of condemned
United States muskets, and possibly some of
his own bad cartridges, to Juarez, to fight the
French with. But, after using his material,
the Mexican authorities failed to pay the Gen
eral and his hacker, and they are now working
to get this claim recognized and enforced by
Congress, along with others of like question
able character. This Mexican " Ring" will

they hope to extract o few millions from the
