that coStllness is not a necessary element of
beauty. Nature makes a thistle Just as
perfect thing in its way as a rose, and ont
of stubby huckleberry patch she makes a
perfect bit of summer quietness and autumn
splendor. She will not permit ugliness
where she can subdue or glorify it. She

thoughts and kindly impulses at work upon

lofty beauty.

of preparing to abandon the Polaris with

are all on the ice, he steams away and goes

THE RELIGION OF BEA UTY

"The house." says Emerson, ''should
bear witness i'll all its economy, that human
culture is the end to which it is built and
garnshed.D But when we measure our
habitations by this high standard, our sue
cesses are not much above that of the Es-
quimaux and Lap. These barbarans Sc
cure in their turf novels, shelter, security
and warmth. Our notion of comfort and
convenience is somewhat higher; but after
ALL it Is only comfort and convenience that
we seek with any zeal; and the notion OF
making every house a temple and school to
its owner is as far from our general purpose
as from theirs. Yet nothing less than this
ought to content US.
Nature contrires with infinite ingenuity
so to distribute the meagre number Of hu-
man features that no two faces have ever
been precisely alike. Behind these various
faces sit souls as various. And their way
of life is as unlike as if they came not all
from the same mysterious source and moved
not all to the same mysterious end. Indi-
vldual growth, individual WORTH are plainly
the intention and the justification OF natural
law. And it is odd enough that men who
really have personality should be quite con
tent to live exactly like their neighbors, so
UIdG o1t0H the lSudiiCS VI et NliolC IctG
might exchange houses, clothes, dinnerta
bles and furniture, and hardly discover the
difference Yet each of these househoders
has certain culture or desire that is not
common to the rest, which should be ex
pressed in his habitation For his habita-
tion is the place where love and leisure
should lead him to his finest growth. 1t
ought, therefore, to be neither convention
al nor ugly Yet nine times out OF ten it is
both
Boys and girls are not taught the relig-
iousness of beauty. They grow up and
marry in the belief that thrift and ugliness
are immutaby joined by Providence, and
that only III their later years, when money
is plentiful, will beauty stand in the market
place waiting for the highest bidder. If

CAPT TYSONS NARRATIVE.


The detailed account Of Capt. Halls Arc
tic Expedition, occupies II columns in the
New Y orll Herald of the 2lst. 1t does not
leave in doubt the fact that Capt. S. O.
Buddington, the sailing master, was the
real cause Of all the trouble that occurred
on board the Polaris
The suspicion Of mutiny thrown on Capt.
Tyson at the first news of the rescue, is
absurd to any rejecting mind Capt. Ty-
sons story is perfectly consistent with pro
liabilities and facts In brief it is this
Capt. Hall tried to push as far north as
possible, as he wished. and was sent to do.
Capt, Buddington strenuously objected eth
er through jealousy or fear, perhaps both.
And though the vessel attained the high
latitude of 50 degrees, l6 minutes, further
north than keel ever ploughed before, pass
ing beyond the strait which Kane had tax
en- for an open Polar Sea and seeing still
before them a watery expanse of so or 90
miles, vet Buddington refused to winter
there, and forced the Expedition further
south. Halls subsequent sledge journey
north, may have caused his death by over
exertion, or sudden exposure to heat on his
return to the ship.

or associate navigator. But he had sided

THE WAYS OF COMMERCE..

Where highways connect, it is natural to
expect centres Of trade. From the village
at the country cross roads, to ancient Tyre
and modern Chicago, we look for an ex-
change of products or values, at the point
where the bearers of merchandise meet
each other. Such point may to some ex-
tent, be arbitrarily located; as it matters
not in a city on what particular square or
street, the Merchants Exchange may be
established.
The trading posts of the Hudson's Bay
Company dotted the wilderness of the
Northwest with little settlements, many
years before civilization proper began It's
encroachments on that vast region. But
those posts might have been founded ten,
twenty or thirty miles from where they
were in each case, and the same settle
ments would have sprung up around them,
for it was at the fort that the Indian ex-
pected to find the red cloth and bright
trinkets he wished in exchange for his pelt-
ries.

". p. Il. R.-PA CIFTC DIVISION.

We copy the following review of the
progress being made on the Pacific Divis-
ion of the n P. r. r. from the Kalama
Beacon of May II:
"In our last review of the progress of
construction on this Division, we noticed
that it was reported that Mr.. Montgomery
had received instructions to build one hum
dred miles of extension northward from Te-
nnO, which has been confirmed.
The contractor has now a force of near Y
1900 men on the line, of whom $50 are
whites, and is pushing the work as fast as
human energy can accomplish the object.
About four miles of the work are graded
already, and III about month sixteen miles
will be completed; and when this length of
track is graded, track-laylng will be com
menced.
There are now go horses employed on
the line In scraper teams, carts, etc, and in
a few days 80 mules are to be added to the
teaming force, which have been purchased
east Of the mountains in vicinity of W ALA
Walla valley. Mr.. Montgomery has also
purchased a large quantity of wheat in the
w ALA W ALA valley for use Of the road, as
he prefers that grain to oats for feeding
animals, besides being considerably cheap
er than oats.
The mill that Mr.. Montgomery erected
last year at Pumphrey's) Olequa to saw
bridge and other material on the forty miles,
has been removed and located about a mile
and a hall this side (south) of Tenino, ad-
joining the track, TO manufacture sawed
material that will be required for the 100
miles extension, there being several bridges
to ernct a1Oner the line as we'll as trpStlInU
caps, stringers, etc. The mill is under CON
troll of Mr.. John III. Stone, a gentleman late
ly from the Eastern end of the line. who
last year filled the position of General
Agent of Construction on the Minnesota
and Dakota Divisions of the n. P. r. K.
He has the contract to furnish all the saw
ed material to be used in construction of
the line down the Sound on the present ex-

HIGHLAND PINE.-A firm of nursery men
at Aberdeen, Scotland, Messrs. Benjamin
Reid and Co, have made present to the
United States Department OF Agriculture,
Of $4,000 plants of the Highland pine tree
or true Scotch fir, for distribution in those
states Of the West, where tree shelter is of
the first Importance. They promise the
Department 10000 more, packed and for
warded free if they are wanted; thus Civ
inc one hundred thousand plants in all.
These trees now average but IS inches
high, and are sent in packages of $50 each,

ACCORDING to Z. S. statistics carefully
compiled, it has been found that when one
murderer in ten was sure of death, there
were but ten murders to each million OF III
habitants. When but one in sixteen was
hung, there were three times as many muir
ders, and when but one in sixty-six was
executed, the number was over five times
as many to the million, as when one in tel
was hung.

SUCCESS OF THE NORTHERN Pa CIFIC

LOAN
The Minneapolis Tribune makes the fol-
lowing announcement apparently on the au-
thorlty of one of the Directors of the North
ern Pacific Railroad residing in that city:
Information has been officially received in this city
to the effect that the Northern Pacific Railroad thirty
million seven and three tenths loan has been finally
closed out, New York syndicate having Just sub
scribed for the nine millions that remained unsold at
| a recent date. This makes thorough financial sue
cess of this loan, and while placing funds the dis
posal of the road for construction, strengthens its
credit very erally This entire thirty millions has
been taken at home and by our own people, which
fact cannot fail of being duly appreciated should the
company ever seek negotiations abroad.
This announcement will be received with
great qualification by the people of Mime
sofa and of the entire northwest whose fil-
ture is intimately bound up with the sue
cess of this great enterprise. 1t is all the
more gratifying for the reason that it has
been seriously apprehendea by the public
that the Provaiing stringency Of the money
market and the marked indisposition on the
part Of European or American capitalists to
invest capital in new railroad enterprises,
would render it impossible to dispose of the
bonds of the Northern Pacific during the
present year in the American or European
market That this has been accomplished
in face of the discouraging attitude of capi-
tai towards most of the new railroad enter
prises must be accepted as a marked indi-
cation Of the exceptionally favorable feeling
towards the Northern Pacific Railroad, and
of confidence in its prudent, vigorous and
sagaclous management

day of the Northern Pacific to Bismarck.

From st. Paul Dispatch of 9Th.

THE pool TEMPORARILY BURSTED.
The Milwaukee Neacs of Sunday announ-
ces that it understands that the proposed
pooling arrangement between the Chicago
q Northwestern and the Milw aukee and
St Paul roads has fallen through. We
have very reliable information which con-
firms this report. This is an instance where
certain would-be monopolists have over
reached themselves.
The Wisconsin managers of the Milwau-
kee e St. Paul road obtaned the St Croix
land grant in good faith, expecting that the
financial men of the company in New Y ork
would indorse the action by constructing
the roads. Instead of this they found that
Russell Sage had joined with a Northwest
ern pool which controlled the common
stock of the St Paul Company, and pro-
posed to virtually consolidate the two lines
and build no more roads. The plot began
to develope by the rejection of the land
grant. This was to be followed by the re-
tirement of Alex. Mitchell Of Milwaukee
from the Presidency of the St, Paul road,
and he was to be succeeded by John f..
Tracy, the President of the Northwestern,
thus placing the two roads under one man
agement. The game would have been
PLAYED out to it's conclusion but for the un-
expected storm which the rejection Of the
land grant created The laws Of Wiscon-
sin are very stringent in forbidding the
consolidation Of railroads or their virtual
consolidation, and the managers of the pro-
posed pool were very emphaticav informed
that they would find all the obstacles of the
law thrown in their way if they attempted
to fasten their iron grip upon the people.
! 1t is indeed a question whether the indig-
nation arising from the rejection of the
grant will not lead to a railroad war in
Wisconsin as violent as the one III Illinois.
1t only needs spark to light the flame,
and the railroad magnates have decided
that discretion is the better part of valor.
Mr.. Mitchell is now being urged to remain
at the head Of the St. Paul company, and
for the present at least the nefarious game
is thwarted. How long before the attempt
will be renewed, and successfully, depends
good deal upon the action OF the people
themselves

run all winter with remarkable regularity
and freedom from snow difficulties. There

in eastern Minnesota the past winter, but
there has not been an unusual amount IN
the western part of the State, and across

purpose well.

The rapid destruction of our forests
is exciting anxiety among people Sln
general lest the iprice of lumber shall
soon become greatly increased, while
farmers are beginning to realize that
treeless countries are lia.le to drOughts
and hurricanes. 1t is recommended in
the report of the Department of Agri-
culture that all settlers on public, ter.
ritory in prairie districts must engage
to plant trees as condition to receiv-
ing a tile to the lands which they have
taken up.3 At the recent session of the,
American AssaciatiOn for the Advance
ment of Science of Portland, Me-, Pro.
fessor Franklin Hough, Of Albany read
an able paper on tree culture. He re-
commended, first, the-withhelding
from sale of lands returning to the
State for non-payment of taxes, as we'll
as of timber lands, and the establish
ing of laws by which the. State might
receive the profit Of necessary thinning
out. Second, the exemption OF timber
lands from taxation for a limited time,
and the Offering of premiums for lands
inclosed for the culture OF. forest trees.
Third, the offering of premiums to
counties, towns, and, individuals for
the greatest number of trees success
fully planted. Fourth, the requiring
of tree planting along railroads and
highways. Fifth, theimposition of a
tree tax, payablei in tree planting or in
money, to be expended for. that pur-
pose. Sixth, the protection OF way
side trees by adequate penalties, and
seventh, the teaching of at least the
elements of forest culture in public
schools, If some of these proposals
may be regarded as impracticable, there
is no doubt of the importance of the
end which they are designed to reach.
We trust the subject may be still furth-
er discussed, and that practical results
may be reached in general attention
to checking the waste of timber and
repairing the devastations of past years
by the planting Of new crops.-[ Gin.
