DAGGErE RETiRES FROM THE
..sNTERPRIsE.'

From himself We lsarn, with surprise
and deep regret, that Dir. L. II. Dag
gett, for so many years the head of the
editorial department Of the Territorial
Enterprise, has severed his connection
with that paper. The circumstances
leading to this action are OF a private
nature and not at all within the pur-
view OF professional comments in these
columns. We believe that tho ready
pen and brilliant capacities Of Judge
Goodwin will still be at the service Of
the publishers of that paper; but no
one man, however industrious and YER
satile, can produce such excellent and
acceptable work as has come to Us day
by day from the hands Of Daggett and
Goodwin. The fact is. that as combin-
ing the two characters of editor and
writer, there are few men on the Pacific
Coast who are Daggett's equal, and none
who surpass him. Indeed, We are not
acquainted with his peer. 1t is not
pleasant thing to SEQ any capable man
Of letters laying down his pen, and
when we reflect upon the growing few
ness of the old-tims California editors,
men vsrssd in the history, and in sym.
patty with the manner of the thought
and action peculiar to this Coast, We
part company with our moro distin-
guishsd brethren, like Daggett, with re-
luctance and growing sense Of loneli-
ness. But we trust to see him at work
again and indeed there is hope that
We may for as We say of military he
roes, "Once a Captain, always q Cap
tain,' and as Jack Tar can hardly be
weansd from tho sea, so is it hard for
the man who by long custom has learned
the use and step and motion of the edi-
torial trsadmill to abandon it altogether.
1t will be many a day before the news
paper readers Of Nevada disconnect, in
their minds, whatever of virility and |
vim they may find in the Enterprise
from the hearty personality of Rollin
". Dagsett.

How a Horse Captured a Wolf.


Mr.. John Davis, q farmer in Sullivan
township, county Grey, owns morse
which has 8 habit of getting out OF its
farmer, as an experiment, tied the
horses fore-feet together, and left him,
hoping that his scheme would cure the
horse of, or at least prevent him iDdulg-
ing in, his bad habits. That night .
pack of wolves visited the neighbOThOOd,
their bowls being plainly heard by the
occupants Of Mr.. Davis's house. In the
morning, however, they had disappear
ed, and the farmer having business some
distance away, left to transact it. His
children, going to school, had occasion
to pass by the pasture-held 10
which was the bTeachy horse, and,
remembering the visi. OF the wolves
during the night, they went in
to LOOK after the horses safety. There
was the animal, right enough, appar'
emily, but standing in q singular pO'
sition away off in the field The children
approached nearer, and the hOIse'S ap.
pearance seemed more strange. AT last
they boldly came Up close, and discOv'
cred the cause of the animals strangC

his fore feet, pinned doWn to the grOunC
by the chain lettering the horses limbs
and secured in such a way that escap<
was impossible. The plucky horse Rs6

A Sen of the Old Sea King.

A London journal writes thus of 8
Norwegian who seems to have Lost
nothing of the indomitable courage and
energy of his old Morse ancestors: per
hans there is no greater test of heroic
courage than voluntary encounter with
great perils alone, where an escape from
those perils has been opened, of which
others have awaited themselves. Such
heroism has been recorded this week, in
the case of q Norwegian captain, Captain
Adder Hansen, who on the sixth Of Oe-
tober left Gef1e with a cargo OF iron and
deals for England, and whose bark en-
countered, ON the nineteenth of October,
so fearful gale that all the pumps were
disabled, the ships side injured, and
great deal Of the deck-load washed away
On the twentieth OF October a smack
came in sight, and Captain Hansen's
crew, not believing the vessel could
live, left him with his barb
rolling most fesrfully.' The captain re-
NAMED alone, in the hope OF getting bii
bark into Grimsby, in which he 1nally
succeeded. Alone re managed 70 set tht
foresai, and anainsail, and to light the
side-lights and the binnacle-light, anC
then steered toward the west. he wa
I 40 fatigaed that he several times Eel
down from sheer WEAKNESS, and durlDi
! the night he had several squalls. INT
cabin was full Of water, which did mucf
damage as it rolled with the rolling o
! the vessel, and when he got the bari
into Humber, Captain Hansen'
strsneth was all spent. That seems L
ne in its way, greater feat, because
ionelier feat, than many pilot-boat res
cne in which the immediate peril is ia
more threatening. The courage OF
group of associates is always muct
Greater than the sum Of the courag
which each individual in the groul

Russia and Saghalien.

Pail mall GaZette'
A letter from st. Petersburg in the
Borsen-zeitttnq says that courier from
Japan has arrived there with the news
that the treaty for the cessiOn TO Russia
Of the island of SaghRlien, in exchange
for the Kurile islands, has been signed
at Yokohama by the Russian and ia
panese plenipotentiaries. Immediately
after the ratification OF the treaty, q
Russo Japanese commission proceeded
to Saghalien on board the Russian ship
of-war Wsadnik, and another to the
Kurile islands on board the Japanese
steamer Hokio- Match, in order to place
the two States in possession OF their new
territories. The Russian diplOmatists
and naval officers had an audience on
the occasion with the Mikado and h1s
Young wife, and the head of the Rus
alan commission was presented with
their portraits. The negotiations be-
tween Russia and Japan 10 regard to
this exchange Of territory have been
going on for some time, and the delay is
attributed at st. Petersburg to English
/ intrigue. Russia Will convert her new
possession into great naval station, and
make penal settlements in the interior
which are to take the place Of those nov
| in Siberia while Japan, by the acquisi.
I ton Of the Kurile islands, rounds off hel

tiele of food consumed by her pOpula'

animals was intended to be indicated by
the fact that the creation OF animals oc-
CURED in the same sixth day or era. See,
said the lecturer, how science has thrown
light on the real meaning Of that all
cient narrative, so long misunderstood.
Is 1t not stTonge that, instead Of thank
ing men OF science for thus helping them
to interpret their sacred books, theOlO-
gians should he angry with them even 10
this day? Certainly theOlOgians have ore
difficulty still left them 10 explain,
namely, why the writer Of Genesis, in
spired to write a narrative 80 exact,
should yet have 30 written 1t So to he
utterly misunderstood until the truth had
been found in another manner. After
the sixth era came the seventh, vhen
God rested and was refreshed. Hence
the observance of the week OF seven
days. Nevertheless, We have the clear
est evidence of the astrological origin Of
the Sabbath day-indeed, Of all the
Jewish festivals, their morning and
evening sacrifices, new moons, Sabbaths
and the luni-sOlar festival Of the Pass
over. Here the lecturer touched on the
cruelties practised by the Jews on sur
rounding natives at the instigation OF
Moses and on the method of divination
by medicine, best described in Numbers
v. He passed on afterwaTd to consider
! the miracle Of the standing still Of the
sun and moon at JOshuR's command,
saying that the narrative msnifestly
corresponds to the belief in a central fiat
earth round which the sun and moon
moved as signs in the heavens, this be-
| lief being further illustrated by the ac-
count of that exceedingly high noun
| tain whence Satan sho we'd all the king
doms OF the earth. The miracle OF the
going back Of the shadow on the disl
was next dealt with and the position
taken up by science in regard to the
question of the efficacy of prayer. The
lecturer described this as the only posi-
bic position for the students of science
Ignorance of processes actually taking
place can alone justify or explain prsyel
intended to cause the result Of such pro
cesses to be in some way modified. TbC
student Of science extends to processe:
he is yet unable to understand the prin
cip.e which he adopts for those whose
course he can anticipate, for he feels sur
that the former, like the latter, are I'm
der the dominion Of law and are neve
affected by circumstances not operating
directly upon our physical cause. Ate
dealing with the narrative Of the star o
Bethlehem as strictly in accordance witt
the astrological superstitions which pre-
vailed when it was written, the lecture
closed his discourse by dwelling on tn
extreme Importance Of recognizing tn
dominion OF uniform law throughOu
the universe. This great doctrine, b
said, when once thoroughly recognized
will prove q safeguard against religion
excuses, and instead OF being a rocl
ahesd, az many think, will be reeog
uized az a breakwater against sea
which have been heavy and may b
heavy hereafter.
