A WATERY GRAvE.--Last Friday night
(16th inst.) as the N. W. Stage Co. IS
sleigh was coming down the Blue noun
tains short distance beyond Philips
Station, painful and fatal accident oc-
Cured. by which a man by the name of
Il. D. Sanders. from Boise City. was
instantly drowned. The circumstances,
as related to us. are az follows
The stage was coming this way and
as it approached the cossing of Phillips
Creek - about mile beyond the sta
tion-Col. Sanders was requested to get
out and walk across on log along with
the helper; but he preferred remaining
in the sleigh. The helper ian assistant
who accompanies each trip of the stage
over the mountain) crossed over on the
log. As the sleigh went in the creek
the forward end dipped deeply and
flooded the sleigh bed and the Col. be-
coming frightened jumped out. snatching
up mail sack and both disappeared be-
meath the flood and were seen no more.
The mail which the sleigh contained
fioated off and was lost. The stream at
this point is not very wide and is mere
ly dip and plunge and it is crossed
The toward part being considerably ell
evated in the deepest part, OF course it
was an easy matter for the mail matter
to rush out at the rear. Had the un-
fortunate man not jumped out there was
no particular danger. 1t is not thought
the drivers are to blame as the stage
crossed over in the morning all right
and it didn't look any deeper water
than when crossed in the morning.
Search was at once instituted and prov
ed unavailing until the next day, when
the body was fshed up some two or
three hundred yards below the scene OF
the mishap. The body had caught on
some brush. The mail sack was also
found near, which was returned to Port
land.
Col. Sanders has been interested In
mining operations at Boise City and
was we'll to do. He has b wife residing
at San Francisco, who will receive ter
rible shock by his sudden removal from
life. He has a sister (Mrs. D. A. Ian
caster) at Portland, we understand

his duty generally leads a toilsome and
thankless life. With firm purpose to
do equal and exact justice he arousss
antagonisms and makes Lifetime enc.
mics Of who, if he were engaged III aty
other pursuit would be among his best
friends. If he comments with jus. ses

been chosen to administer public affairs;
he makes more enemies than friends BY
SO doing. If he ignores or palliatcs thu
real or apparent derelictions from duty
on the part of the servants of the people
his motives are impeached and his
friends alienated. If he tells the truth
and nothing but the truth about subs

there are oftentimes those who think
that this or that detail ought to have
been omitted. and the list of his downs

again increased. If he utters an hon.

INDIAN EXHIBITION At THE CENTENNIAI..
Our friend Judge ]. G.. Swan, Of Port
Townsend, has just received commis>
sion from Washington to prepare coll
lection of objects for the Centennial
International Exhibition, illustrating
the genius, character and habits of the
Indians of this Northwestern coast.
Arrangements are made by our Govern

Of Canada. for Judge Swan to accom-.
pany DR.. Powell, Indian Commissioner
of the latter, in an expedition among
the Indians all along the coast as for
north as Alaska. The Judge is also
instructed to prepare plan or model of
an Indian lodge or temple to be erected
on the grounds of the Centennial Exhi-
bition for the reception of Indian COL
lections. For his services Judge Swan
is to receive 5000 month and his ex-
penses. and $4,000 is placed in his
hands to be expended in the purchase
of Indian curiosities and specimens of
Indian art. This interesting trust could
not have been placed in more competent
hands, and we have no doubt he will
make it one of the most attractive fea-
lures of the Great Exhibition.

Concerning the Earth and the Sun.
For the Journal.

For the journal.
1t appears from Quarist, that should the by
pothesis of the earth's approach to the sun be
true, it would be observable in divisions OF tme
Possibly some will differ. The originality OF
his theory must be admitted, but is it consistent
with known laws of motion and gravitation?
If seems, starting with the idea of nearing
the sun, Ouerist assumes that the velocity OF
the earth continues the same as its orbit de-
creases; then he follows with a natural conclu-
sion of decrease in time required to travel the
ellipse calculating the year of 1874 something
like 40 days less, dc. were the hypothesis true
than that of 1863. Thus he annihilates, in his
own mind, the fear of nearing the sun, because,
happily, there were still 1865 days in our year
1874. But what basis has Querist for his origi-
mai idea of the earth's velocity? 1t Is impossi-
BILE to near the sun while our momentum con-
tinues3 the same and we travel our orbit. 10
Querist's question permit us to repeat COM
mon law: when body approaches another the
inertia tending it from, decreases as the atFac-
ton increases. That is, to explain with ou1
immediate point, when the lesser body revolv.
ING round and nears the gteater, the centrifugal
force, or that by which revolving body tends
to fly from the centre, is gradually overcome by
the centripetal, or the force by which body re-
| volyng about centre is draw n towards it.
Hence as the earth's velocity is its centrifugal
| force from the sun, it must proportlonafely de-
crease its momentum as it nears that body. I'm
der this conclusion it would take the same length
of time to complete small orbit as it would
! large, the size of the ellipse being merely de-
| pendent upon the momentum. Therefore we
may suppose that the years. &c. would remain
the same no matter for the aberrance Of the
earth radius rector, NORMAL.
