J. =. DoBB'>s-
BY the use Of the same logic, Mr..
Dobbins would he in favor of going to
heaven, but opposed to making any ef-
fort to get there. If the gentleman is
uneasy about the result in the Third
ward he should have said more or moth
ing at oil. If he is in favor of the
wharf, but docs not want the Town to
build it, why did he not give us his
views as to how it was to he done. Our
perceptive faculty may he somewhat
obtuse, but we confess we don't see
just how it is to be done, unless the
Town builds the wharf or a company
builds it. Mr.. Dobbins will not favor
the town building it, but like Artemus
Ward, is perfectly willing to sacrifice
the capital of his relatives and friends if
necessary to secure so great q boon.
The idea is good one if Mr.. Dobbins
has enough influence with the moneyed
men to carry it out.

TrLuIp REsERvAr.oN.-It has long

TrL,LIP REsERvArIoN.--It has long
been known that the Tulalip Agency, in
charge of Rev. Father Chirouse, is a
model of good order and industry, and
is noted for the rapid progress made i'll
the civilization of the Indians. The
following facts from the Inteliigencer,
will therefore be read with special in
terest: At present, there are about $50
Indians at work, mostly engaged in
logging, who are able to support their
families with the proceeds of their la
bor During the winter months, it re-
quires great exertion on their part to
carry on their pursuits profitably, but
many of them are extremely industli-
Gus and frugal in their habits. A short
time since, as an evidence of their in
dustry, two Of them, named Charley
and Peter, purchased on credit four
yoke of cattle, provisions, ETC., and
started logging camp. They hired
two white man and ten Indians to as
sist, and went to work with will. AZ
ter about two months labor, they sold
their boom of logs to the Puget Mill
Company, and realized sufficient to pay
$500 for their cattle, the wages of the
hired men, provisions, etc., and have
left 800 for each of the partners, One
of the white men, Tom Salby, who
acted as teamster. received 500 month
for his labor, and was presented by
them with $40 coat! Two schools,
for boys and girls, are ON the Reserva-
ton, and have about fifty pupils. Gen.
orally speaking, they are healthy-only
two having died, one of consumption
and the other of dropsy, in many
months. The mill is in running order,
and, in connection with the Agency
there are 16 logging camps-eleven at
Tulalip, three ut Port Madison, and
two at Swinomish. Too much praise
cannot be awarded to Father Chirouse
for his indomitable exertions in favor of
those under his care.

A CREDrrABLE ED1F1cE. Walla
.Walla Statesman gives description OF
the new Episcopal church building in
that city. The size of the main build
ing is 2Ox51 feet. The base of the bell
toweris IL feet square and the tower and
spire will be 2O9 feet in height. The
style is the pointed Gothic, and this
style is adhered to in the finish of the
seats, altar and the interior of the build
ing. The roof of the main building is
supported by three sets of truss rafters,
and these being left open with the tim
bers oiled and vanished, give a very
handsome finish.

Artificial Stone.

Geology teaches that all the rock for
nations of the world have been made
from materials formerly in a different
condition All the stratifed rocks, like
marble, slate, etc., are supposed to have
been formed from materials ground up
or dissolved in water. Sandstone is
nothing more than loose sand united by
the chemical and mechanical forces of
nature. As stone of certain kinds is
one OF the most durable and beautiful
materials for buildings, monuments,
fountains, vases, etc., it has been in use
from the very earliest times in all civil
lied countries, and in rude forms among
the uncivilized races. But even since
the invention of gunpowder and the
modern improvements in machinery and
tools for working stone, the use of it for
building or ornamental purposes has al
ways been limited on account of the ex-
pense.
But the discoveries in chemistry and
kindred departments have lead inquiring
minds to search for some process of i'm
itating nature in constructing stone from

ing purposes WILL uOb Stduu bue wear OI
rain, frost, and wind hence, in the in
vention of artificial stone it was neces-
sary to discover such a combination as
would be the least affected by the wealth
er. Another point was necessary: such
degree of compactness that this stone
would Withstand the pressure of large
building. A Mr.. Frear, of Chicago, has
obtained patent which claims to pos
sess these advantages, and a company in
San Francisco, known as the Frear Stone
Company. has bought the right for Cali
fornia. They have extensive works near
the new depot of the Central Pacific
Railroad in San Francisco.
In manufacturing, chemical solution
is mixed with sand or gravel, and when
the material is properly prepared it is
moulded in any desired shape. After
standing for six weeks it is fit for use.
A four inch cube of this stone, one
month old, withstood pressure of 81 900
pounds. This stone can be manufactured

A GOAT SToRY.-A retired clergy
man sends us an account of a little
affair that happened in his place. 1t
appears that there was young woman,
a fine spirited girl, engaged at wash
tub, opposite an open door. Just be-
hind her was young man, as is gene
rally the case, and in the yard was an
old buck that was allowed the freedom
of the premises, which is not always
the case, we are glad to say. Well,
this buck came up to the door and
looked in, and the young man going
close behind the young woman, pointed
his finger straight to the buck, and the
old fellow recognizing at once the
pressing character of this mute invita-
ton, put down his head and dashed
forward, and the miserable man stepped
one side and fed, and the young woman,
all unconscious of the arrangements,
received the awful shock without warn
ing and passed over the tub, and the
air for an instant appeared to be full of
slippers and wet clothes and hot water
and suds. And the next minute that
goat came flying out the door at a
dreadful speed, bald the whole length
of his spine and with wild look in
his eye. And for an hour afterward he
stood back of the barn, scratching his
chin, and trying to recall all the cir
in tho ,nfortnnata ofsir
Danbury Necs.

for one-third the cost of natural cut
stone; hence, many can afford it for
building purposes, monuments, vases
for gardens, gate posts, ETC., who could
not otherwise indulge in such luxury.
Several large buildings have already
been constructed of this stone, among
which are fve-story building in Chi
cago and large church at New Haven,
Conn; also, the front of fine building
in Oakland, Cal. 1t is being used in the
construction of the new University
buildings, in the base Of Tallant's bank,
corner of California and Battery Streets,
and in many other fine buildings. For
monuments, it has also been used quite
extensively. In manufacturing, color
ing matter can be introduced to make
the stone of any desired shade.

A RAT SroRY.-A queer thing hap
pened in Nashville, Tenn, last week.
A gentleman, before retiring for the
night, took the precaution to place his
watch and chain under his pillow, that
it might not be stolen without his be-
ing awakened. To his surprise he woke
up the following morning to find it had
unaecountably been spirited away. He
remembered having heard his servant
making fire, and came to the conclu-
sion that no one else could hvae taken
it. He called the servant in and made
inquiries about it. The servant denied
having stolen it. This did not satisfy
the owner, but the servant was never
theless allowed to depart. His en-
ployer now instituted thorough search.
After looking everywhere about the
room, he found the watch forced half
way into rat-hole. He pulled it out,
and, to his great CONSERVATION, found
a rat at the end of the golden chain, in
which it had became entangled and
been hanged by the neck until dead.

A DINNER ExcUsE.-Apologies for
poor dinners are generally out of place.
But when a lady has a forgetful hus-
band, who, without warning, brings
home a dozen guests to sit down to a
plain family dinner for three or four, it
is not in human nature to keep abso-
lutte silence. What to say, and how to
say it, form the problem. Mrs. Tucker,
the wife of Judge Tucker, of Williams
burg, solved this problem many years
ago. She was the daughter or niece Il
am uncertain which, of Sir Peyton
Skipwith, and celebrated for her beau
ty, wit, ease, and grace of manner.
Her temper and tact were put to the
proof one court-day, when the judge
brought with him the accustomed half
score or more of lawyers, for whom
not the slightest preparation had been
made, the judge having quite forgotten
to remind his wife that it was court
day, and she herself, strange to tell,
having overlooked the fact.
The dinner was served with elegance,
and Mrs. Tucker made herself very
charming. Upon rising to leave the
guests to their wine she said: "Gen-
tlemen. you have dined to-day with
Judge Tucker: promise me now that
you will all dine tomorrow with me-"
This was all her apology, whereupon
the gentlemen swore that such wife
was beyond price. The judge then ex-
planned the situation, and the next day
there was noble banquet.
Moral: Never worry guest with
apologies.-LippincoH's Magazine.

Chemical Paint.


1t has been generally supposed thatlead and oil
form the most durable paint, and such has been
the case until within few years, when the
AvERILL CHEMICAL PAINT was discovered. Like
everything else new, it was watched with the
greatest care, and parties interested in the sale
oflead and oil were ready to throw out insnuations
and circulate false stories; but in spite of all
this, the Chemical Paint has established repu-
tation solely on its own merits. The fine build
ing of J. w. Tucker & Co., Jewellers, San Fran
cisco, was covered with this paint two years ago
Last winter it was oashed, ,cithout injury to the
paint, and when cleansed it was as hard and ap-
parently good as when first put on. Those
who intend to paint should investigate this matter
for themselves, and not take the word of those
who are interested in the sale of something else.
We call attention to the advertisement in another
column. We would advise parties to send to
testimonials of prominent men who have used
the paint

SHEEP AND Wool GRowINe.-Since
our last issue, in which we alluded
briefly to this subject, the spring shear
ing has taken place throughout most
parts of California, and with such excel
lent results that we feel constrained to
add few more words on the great adj
yantages presented on this coast for en-
gaging in this business The sheep
generally throughout the State, though
receiving no fodder, have come through
the winter well; the most of the animals
being in good condition, and turning
of an unusually heavy fleece. In sew
eral of the leading sheep counties, from
one to two million pounds of wool will
be gathered in each. Owing to the
good condition of the mothers, and the
fine weather, few of the new lambs
have been lost, it being calculated that
the number of surviving lambs will be
equal to the bearing ewes. 1t is now
clearly established that no other country,
except perhaps Australia, equals Cali
fornia for this branch of business. No
where else do these animals cost so lit
tie for their keep, thrive and multiply
SO well, yield such feeces, or require
SO little care. Millions of acres of land
suitable for sheep pasture can be had in
this State at Government prices-can,
in fact, be occupied without purchase.
Or if the herder desires to locate more
within the populous districts, land can
still be bought at very low prices, or
had on mere nominal rental. Our soil
and climate being SO dry, sheep here are
subject to few diseases, while the wild
animals that once molested them are
now so nearly exterminated they do little
damage. One man. aided by couple
of boys and one or two well-trained dogs,
will care properly for fifteen OR twenty
thousand sheep; the plan of folding
them at night being no longer practiced
except in the more remote mountainous
districts. The ewes here are not only
prolific, bringing forth twins very often,
but are also precocious, bearing gen.
orally when but year old. Our grow
ers shear both in the spring and autumn,
the first clipping being much the heavi-
est. Though the prices of wool rule
much lower this year than last, our
sheep-men, owing to the heavy clip and
increase of their focks, will have little
cause for complaint this season. To
parties DESTROYS of engaging in a new
business, that of sheep-raising would
certainly seem to commend itself very
strongly.-Ihe West.

RATTLEsNAKE's TAIL.-When ex-
amined with philosophical deliberation,
the mechanism is truly wonderful. Nor
was it given to that venomous reptile
without purpose. There is not me-
chanic in America who could initiate
the structure, such are its complica-
tons. But its use is quite as curious
as the arrangement of the cells, or the
manner of initiating the sounds of va
rious insects, which the rattlesnake
readily accomplishes, to get the atten-
ton of birds or small animals in order
to charm them into its horrible jaws.
Prof. Shaler appears to have been in
vestigating the functions of the rattle,
and the conclusion arrived at is that
we have never understood how impor-
tant it is in the economy of that dread
fully poisonous serpent. While with
the rattle game are aroused, it is also
serviceable in alarming animals too
large to grapple with successfully, to
keep of. which they willingly do, from
an instructive dread of its death-deal-
ing propensities.

PEN PICTURE OF EUeESIE,-Unlike
the French women, who are short and
dumpy, especially in middle life, the
Empress is queenly in form, tall, slim,
and stately. Unlike the French women,
whose compilations are dark, sallow.
and even dingy, the Empress's face is
as white as alabaster Her eye is clear
but piercing; her smile captivating;
her brow gracious. Arayed in her re-
gal robes she is simply magnificent.
Everything about her is in keeping.
Her taste is unequaled. Everything
is in proportion and one part is suited
to the other. She knows what will
agree with her complexion to the exact
shade of ribbon. You can suggest
no alteration in her dress. On state
occasions, when she greets the public
eye, she wears everything regal and
stately that becomes her station. On
ordinary occasions her dress is very
plain, very simple, yet very taking.
Her hat seems to be the central point
of her dress. If it is brown or blue,
green or crimson, her gloves, Scarf, Or
naments and apparel correspond. Her
spirits are exuberant, her disposition
joyous, and she seems disposed to enjoy
her position. On her last visit to En-
gland she was the guest of the Queen.
A review was held in st. James's Park
in her honor, which she beheld from
the balcony of Buckingham Palace, in
company with Victoria and Napoleon.
She was joyous as schoolgirl. She
clapped her hands and shouted in her
French style, like little girl, at the
grand display. Her buoyancy and glee-
fulness of manner, not to say frivolity,
shocked the digniied and sober Queen
of England; and more than once Vic
toria laid her hand on the shoulder of
her fair visitor and reminded her that
while such outbursts of feeling were
perfectly natural, they were not regal!

Suppose man and girl were mar
ried; and which is, of course, impos-
sible-that, at the time of the hymeneal
contract, the man was thirty-five years
old and the girl FIVE; which makes the
man seven times as old as the girl.
They live together until the girl is ten
years-this makes him forty years old
and four times as old as the girl; they
lived until she is fifteen, the man being
forty -fve-this makes the man three
times as old; they still live she is thirty
years old-this makes the man sixty,
only twice as old; and now, as we havn't
time to work it out, perhaps somebody
will be good enough to tell US how long
they would have to live to make the
