If Theodore Tilton hal wished to inflict
diaboical revenge on the seducer of his wife,
says the New York Sua, he could not have
chosen better method than that he has pur.
sued. Shooting him would have beeep
mercy in comparison. Mr.. Beccher remains
above grouad A live corpse, tortured by con.
science and chased by public opinion, In
these United States there is no more miser-
able man than Henry Ward Beecher He is
in false position. He is ontangled with
lies. Justice approaches him with steady
step and he sees everything vanishing that
made life delightful to him. The moral ruin
of this strong man is one of the saddest
things in our history. Yet justice must be
done.

Woke CHIN.Foo. the Chinese lecturer

N H., a few Sundays ago, and being attired
in his rich native costume, one of the door
keepers politely showed him into front
pew near the altar. Saeingthe distinguish

officiating priest preached an elaborate ser
mon, in which, beginning at the creation Of
the world, he sketched its history up to the
present time, and unfoldcd the entire plan
Of salvation as held by the Romish Church,
the whole discourse, which was very able
one, being aimed apparently ut the Chinese
lecturer, witha view to his conversion to
Cnsistianity.. Soon afierward Wong was
able to give the reverand gentleman a quid
pro quo; for having to lecture in Nashua the
very same evening to very crowded audi
ence, he enlarged at some length about the
religion Of Confucius, held him up to the adj
miration Of his auditors, and concluded a
highly interesting lecture by au appeal to
his hearers to abandon Christianity and
come to Confucius.- Tribune.

that another lawyer would make good liy-

The term of our Ds:-ct Court, Ia full re.
port its proceedings appeared last week.
marks new era in the history Of our county.
His Honor, j. r. Lewis, succeeded, not only
in winning the respect Of the bar, and all
the officers Of the court, but encomiums of
praise have been awarded him by this entire
community. He has not only convinced our
people of his ability as o jurist, but
that he justly merits the appellation OF gen
tleman in every sense Of the term, He has
manifested dignity withsyut pride, and has
impsrtially dealt out even handed justice to
oil partiea We never remember being pres
ent at tho session Of term Of any court,
where so little dissatisfaction was expressed.
His imPartiality is beyond all doubt. His
entire influence hss been cast in favor Of law,
order and morality. The establishment of
the court is unquestionab|y q. decided step
onward for our county. A step in the right
direction, in the interest ofpeace and pros
perity. Even should it cause q slight in
crease IN taxation, which is matter of
doubt, the amount Of money necessarily ex-
pended, is retained at home, instead Of as
heretofore spent in an adjoining county.
The time usually spent by jurors, witnesses
and litigants in travelling to and from Seattle
and while in attendance on court there, hsS
been much less, and consequently decided
gain, for time is money. Those who are
lawlessly inclined will hereafter have a
wholesome dread of the court. We shall be
more orderly as community, and We must
say that We thoroughly believe the estab.
iishment Of our district court here at home,
is an advance towards that position we soon
hope to assums, prosperous county in the
future Rialb of Washington.

some five or six hundred inhabitants, two
hotels. one national bank, flour mills, black.
smith shops, several stores, saloons and gov.
ernmcnt offices. II also has government
military post two and one half miles from
here, which is rcgimental post. The
Sioux Indians are still on the ,oar path.
Two hundred soldiers and forty citizens
started yesterday for the Yellow Stone, to
chastisc them and bring away some men
that have been called home. We are on
the main trunk of the n. p. Railroad and
expect the company TO begin work in the
spring. Many are Quitting tor the Black
Hills gold fields and reports arc exceedingly
favorable. We look for lively times soon.
All the mines throughout the Territory are
still yielding fair returns. This winter has
been the finest ever known in this region of
the mountains. Labor il $50 per month.
Miners and mechanics get from S3 to IS per

we hope it may find you and yours the same.

Six'y''iS per cent, while the increase Of
churches during the same period is ninety
