here for the purpose of locating and survey

Sound. On to-day, or Monday, at furthest,
he will commence operations. We hear
that he expects to start at the lower end of
Main street and run from there to Wallula,
and thence on to the Sound at Seattle. This
is very encouraging, as it looks as if the
project is still live one. We hope to see
the road progress with all rapidity possible,
and in the shortest possible time, become
an accomplished fact

IF IsHouLD DIE To.NreHT.


If should die to- night,
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its regting.plac ff
And deem that death had left it almost fair:
And, laying snow-white flowers against my hair.
Would smooth it down with fearful tenderness
And fold my hands with lingering caress. i
Foor hands, so empty and so cold tonight,
IL 1 shonid die to night,
My friends wonld call to mind, with loving thoueb,
some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought:
some gentle word the frozen lips had said:
Errands on which the willing feet had sped
The memory of my selfshness and pide,
NY hasty M8hdds pSe Ba 55ea and mourned to night
III should die to night,
Even hearts estranged would turn once more to me.
Recalling other days remorsefuly.
The eyes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as of yore, perehance,
And soften. in the old familiar way
For who could war with dumb, unconscious clay 81
So might rest, forgiven of all, to night
Oh, friends, fpray tonight. 5.
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.
Think gently of me am traveworn; ~
MY faltering feet are pierced with many thorn.
Forgive, oh hearts estranged, forgive. plead!
When dreamess rest is mine shall not need
The tenderness tor which long tonight.

AN AIR SHIP AT LAST.
a Vessel with Wings Worked by Steam
89 One Hundred Miles an Hour.

! Z Ii
AUBURN, N. Y, Feb. 5.-For many years
Mr.. L. B. Hunt, talented mechanic of
this city, has been constructing vessel
with which to navigate the air, and is con-
vinced that he has at last solved the prob
lem of aerial navigation. The vessels now
on exhibition as the fair grounds near this
city. The car, which is destined to- carry
passengers, is of wood, 80 feet long, 8 feet
high, and 8 feet in width. Four wire ca
hles connect with the engine room 20 feet
above. The car will be fitted up in attrac-
tive style, and afford accommodationtofo forty
persons.
The motive power of the ship is steam.
one Of Silsby's rotary 50-horse power en-
gines being used. 1t is so constructed rs
to turn upright shafts, one within the other,
and revolving in opposite directions. To
the outer shaft are attached four wings o
feet wide next the shaft, 6 feet ut the ex-
treme end, and - feet long. To the inner
shaft are fastened four similar. wings ten
feet above the other. They are made of
sheet iron, slightly concave, and incline at
an angle Of 20 degrees. When the machin-
cry is set in motion these wings revolye at
the rate of 100 times q minute, and it is
claimed by the inventor win lift the vessel
weighing about six tons, and laden with
six tons more.
The desired direction is given the ma
chine by four wings, ten feet long, acting
on q horizontal shaft and revolving at a
greater velocity than the lifting wings, and
manipulated at the win Of the operator or
engineer. The whole apparatus is steered
BY q sheet-iron rndder, parallel to the shaft
of the engine, at the right of the machine,
and sixteen feet long by five wide. From,
the car to the top of the shaft the vessel
measures fifty-eight feet. II has cost $12,-
900.
Mr.. Hunt does not entertain the slightest
doubt of the success of his air ship. He
says he will be able to propel it safely 70
any point at rate Of a hundred miles an
hour. He is constructing vessel of mimi
ature dimensions for the initial trial,
which win be made at an early day.--SWn.

BitterS are a purely Vegetable preparation,
made chiefly from the native herbs found
on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada
mountains of California, the medicinal pro-
perties of which are extracted therefrom
without the use of Alcohol The question
is almost daily asked, "What is the cause
of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR BrT-
