JOHS QUISCY ADAMS was undoubt
edly the most cultivated President
who ever wore the dignity. Beyond
this he had the warmest heart and the
deepest sympathies TO those who knew
him outside of his official position, but
a cynical air ard expression to those
with whom policy or official courtesy
had brought him into mementsry con-
tact. 1t is related of him that when a
candidate for the Presidency, he was
persuaded much against his viii, TO
visit the country cattle show. Among
the plain and hearty old farmers who
crowded round him was one impulsive
old farmer who, shaking him by the
hand exclaimed, Mr.. Adams, Pm VerY
glad to see you. Ny wife when she
was ga, used to live in your father
family. You were then 4 little boy;;
and she has often combed your hail.

UNGATHERED LOVE.

When the autumn winds go vziling
Through branches yellow and brown,
When the grey sad light is failing,
And the day is going down.

OF a Love that blooEned in the early spring,
And which no heart mad for gathering
and my love we dwell apart,
We twain may never be one
We shall never stand Heart 20 heart,
Then what can he said or done,
When winds, and waters, and sOng-birds sing
OF 4 Love that bloomed in the early spring,
And which no heart had for gathering!
When day Is over and night deScenls,
And dank mists circle and rise.
I fall asleep, and slumber beiriends,
For dream of April skies.
But l wake TO hear the silence sing
OF Il love that bloOmed in the eaIIy spring,
And which no heart had for gathering
When the dawn cones in with wind and rain,
And binds awake in the caves,
And rain drops smite the window rare,
And drench the eddying leaves
/ hear the voice of the daybreak sing
OF Love that bloomed in the early spring.
And which no heart had for gathering.

STATISTICS OF THE GLoBE.-The earth is
inhabited by about l 300, ,000, 900 inhabitants,
namely 500, 000, 900 of the Caucasian race
$50, 900, 600 of the Mongolian; 10000, 600
of the Ethiopian; 00,O00,0 900 of the Malay
races ; and 200, 900 Of the American Indian.
All these respectively speak 3064 languages,
and possess 1000 different religions The
amount of deaths per annum is 90, 333} 333},
or 81 ,954 per day, 37730 Per hour, 90 per min
ute or per second. This loss il more than
compensated by the number of births. The
average duration of life throughout the
globe is 33 years. One-fourth Of lis pOpula-
tion dies before the seventh year, and one
half before seventeenth year. Out of 10000
persons only one reaches his hIndreth year,
only one in 500 reaches his eightieth, and
and only one in 100 his sixty-fifth. Married
people live longer than unmarried ones, and
tall man is likely to live longer than
short one. Until the fiftieth year women
have better chance for life than men but
beyond that period the chances are equal
Sixty persons out of 1000 marry. The months
of June and December are those Ill which
marriages are most frequent. Children born
in the spring are generally stronger than
those born ia other seasons. BIZ hs and
deaths occur chiefly in the night. The num-
Der Of men able TO bear arms Is but one-eighth
of the population. The population of the
United States is now over 10000, 900 of
which one-eighth are negroes, with 10000
Indians, and three times as many Chinese.

A DESERTER CAPTURED. "A deserier
named McGinty, who effected an escape from
WalIa Walla several years ago, was captured
recently and sentenced by court martial, to
five years confinement. On Wednesday
Lieutenant Brandt and a sergeant took
McGinty down the river 10 Fort Candy, and
delivered him to the proper authorities. This

We commend the above paragraph to the
attention of our territorial authorities The
WslIa Walla deserter is sentenced 10 five
years imprisonment, whilst Struve, equally
guilty, escapes all punishment, and in fact is
rewarded by being given the second highest

CANALS AND LoCKs.-As a kind Of ad
denda to his speech on the Mission claim the
other evening, Colonel Kelley gave some
items of interest concerning the possibility
of canal and locks round the Cascades, and
the Dalles of the Columbia General Mich
Ter, in conversation with Colonel Kelley, gave
it as his opinion that canal about e quarter
of mile in length, with three locks, would
be all that is necessary al the Cascades and
that this, with some work in blasting, and
removing rocks in the river, would make it
comparatively easy for steamers to get
through. The fall is ,wenty-one feet for the
length of the canal above mentioned, and
the rapid current is between seven and eight
miles per hour The estimated cost Is about
seven hundred thousand dollars The work
at the Dalles would be little longer but
probably not more expansive; the river could
be made navigable to Tumwater by clearing
out the rocks. The General thought that a
million and half would be amply sufficient
TO complete the works.-DG!!es Ho0ntasNsr.

Loss or A VALUABLE HUNTING-KNIFE.-
i curious and valuable hunting knife, from
the atelier of SenOr Esteyas de Souza, jeweler
to the King of Portugal, was lost in the re-
cent wreck OF the Cddis off Ushant The
sheath and handle were composed Of the
heads of wild animals and hounds, modelled
and chased in silver, and accurately repre-
senting the lordly stag, the bear, the wolf,
the wild boar, and other fere nature still
found in the Isouisitanian forests. 1t was
the work Of Senor Raphael Zacharias da
Costa, who was occupied in its execution for
a period of eleven years, from June 1868, TO
May 1874 The knife was sixty-three cen
timetres in length, and was sent from Lisbon
by the Caaiz to be placed on view at the Portu-
guese Legation, Gloucester Place, POrtman
Square. Unfortunately the model was lost
as well as the knife itself, but from the pho
tographs We have seen, il Is evident that
there is no falling off from the well-earned
renOwn of the Portuguese artistic workers IN
the precious metals The hunIiDg-knife and
sheath were insured for e7000.-L@lGc1 Ne,cS.
