New AtcnMbont Route.

Captain ]. S. Hill Of the Str, Funny Lake
after reading these articles. said there was
ample support for putting Steamer on thi'
route, md that he would commence running
on this route from May first, nnd when de.
sired, would on his return go down the
North fork of SknGt, stopping nt La Conner
giving the people On Swinou,ish flats the
benefit of two steamers per week.
l,c would run at least once month reg.
q rly on his route, md if the people on the
route would give him their business, he felt
certain that after month or two, the husi
ness would be sufficient to justify his ran

without fail have regular monthly communi.

Lands 10 be Surveyed.

While at Ccntrevillc recently we met our
esteemed friend r. p. ShoecrnIt, Deputy U,
s. Surveyor who has surveyed most of the
lands already surveyed in the S;illognamisb
River Valley. He informed us that the
survey Of township twenty'nine, North
rar' c six east will certainly be made early
this SIMMER TIis township is the first un'
surveyed one situate up Pill Chuck Valley.
This side of the township is within three
miles of this placc. It's non SURVEY has for
years retarded the settlement of that valley.
Owing to assurances being received last fall
from the Surveyor General that this town
ship would certainly he surveyed this sum

including quite large number ct families,
wagon road has been built into tile heart
of the township, 90 that IL will be very
easy Ia sutvoyi II. Mr.. SIoecraft exp eta to
receive the contract as soon as he finishes
up work he is now doing. We doubt not
that the settlers there will give him al ren'
sonablc aid and encouragement in this
work. "
We nrc also informed by him that besides
this township. contracts would probably be
let, il desired, for the survey this summer
Of Townships number thirty, thirty one
and part of thirty.two north OF range six
east. Willamette Meridian. We hope the
proper encouragement will be extended to
Mr.. Shoecrnlt 50 TINT he will be induced To
survey them all this summer, because by So
doing, most all the bottom land not pre'l'
ously surveyed on the Pill Chuck and south
fork OF the Stilngunmisb, would by this
means be surveyed, and if surveyed would
all be settled upon within couple OF years.

and that peace once more reigns supreme
in that land of the "olive and the vine"
Situated as Spain ia, geographically, she

Once she was; hut ahs, her scrptrr has

faith upon all classes, the horrors OF her
inquisitions and her higotry, Ignorance and
intolerance, have filtered her hand and foot,
chained her to the purth, SCARED and
bruised her in limb, body aud feature, and
rendered her helpless while rival nations
outs'rippei her in the race of progress in
pursuit OF human freedom and the rights of
ma.
As soon ms it became apparent to the Vat.

putph throne, would eventually bpcrme sue.

few weeks ago Lord High Chancellor
Cairns, who was reared an Irish Presbyterian,
and is row keeper of her M0jesty's con
science, and mouth piece of the judicial
Committee Of the Privy Council of England
decided, on the appeal Of Wesleyan Meth
odist minister, that any man in the United
Kingdom had just as good right to the
title "Rev.," MS any Clergyman Of the ES.
tNblished Church. This decision was an
awful blow to the dignity of the State
church parsons. But. last week, this spme
Lord High Chancellor Cairns gave another
decision of still more terrible character.
He has actually drcided-wth nll the Ec.
c!lesiasticnl law Of England ut his back. and

man can be u g6od Christian, and entitled
to all church privileges and ordinances, and

fused to administer the Lords Supper to II
parishioner named Jenkins, when he went
forward TO the communion in the rarish
church, on the ground that Mr.. jenkins, it
WIS well known, did not believe in the devil.
Mr.. jenkins naturally enough, took proceed
ings in the Ecclesiastical courts, and went
from court to court, on appeal, to the final
decision Of the Privy Council. The ulli,
nate Judgment is TINT there is no such doc
trne taught hy the church, rs thai man is
required To believe in the devil, in order to

A FOrgetfnl Man.

His wife sent him up town for somthin'
or other early in the evening. On bis
way he met friend, and they spent a
half.hour in an animated dispute as to
whether Hayes or Tilden had the best
chance for an election, and, when he had
left his friend, he had entirely forgotten
what Maria had sent him after. II was
in vain that he tried to think up his for
gotten errsnd. For three long, weary
hours he wandered around from saloon
to saloon, seeking to stimulate his un-
.reachable brain and pick up his memory.
Twas no use. The more he stimulated
the more he didn't remember. He hated
to go home and acknowledge as much
to his wife, and 80 he just dropped in on
his friends to gather their sympathy.
After he had managed 70 scrape consid-
erable Of the article together, and just as

Has Man Been so very Long ON
the Earth

There has been tendency among men
Of science to pass from profession $50
few yenra ago) of total irn"-rnee rs en-
the mode of origin Of oil living things,
to clhim of almost complete knowledge
of the whole progress of the universe,
from the first speck of living protoplasm
up to the highest development of the
human intellect. Yet this is really what
we have seen in the last sixteen wears.
Formerly difficulties were exaggerated,
and 1t was asserted that we had not suf.
ticient knowledge to venture on any gen.
ordinations on the subject. Now diff
culties are set aside, and it is held that
our theories are so we'll established and
so far reaching, that they explain and
comprehend all nature, and at the pres
ent day it seems to me that facts which
oppose popular views hardly receive
due consideration. 1t is a curious cir.
cumstance that, notwithstanding the at
tention that has been directed to the
subject in every part of the world, and
the numerous excavations connected
with railways and mines which have or
fered such facilities for geological dis
covery, no advance whatever has been
made for considerable number of wears.
in detecting the time or mode of mans
origin. The Palaolithc flint weapons
first discovered in the North of France
more than thirty years ago arc still the
oldest undisputed proofs Of mans exist
ence; and amid the countless relics Of a
former world that have been brought TO
light, no evidence of one of the links
that must have connected man with the
lower animals has yet appeared. The
conclusion which we must arrive at is
that if man has been developed from a
common ancestor, with all existing apes.
and by no other agencies than such as
have effected their development, then he
must have existed in something ap-
preaching his present form in the ter.
tlary period, and not merely existed, but
predomnated in numbers wherever suit
able conditions prevailed. In that case
it will -eb fair argument, that, just as
he is in his mental and moral nature, hi,
capacities and aspirations, so infinitely
raised above the brutes, 80 his origin is
due to distinct and higher agencies than
such as have affected their development

By the death Of Cardinal Antonelli the
Pope has lost his wisest counselor, and
the Church of Rome one OF its strongest
and ablest pillars. The health of this
venerable prelate has long been failing,
so that his death can hardly be said to
have been unexpected. He was born at
Sonnio April 9, 1905. In 1845 he be-
came Grand Treasurer of the Apostolic
Chambers, and upon the election of Pope
Plus TX, he was appointed by his Holi-
ness Minister Of Finance. In 1847 he
was made Cardhnal-deacon. From his
great sagacity and political astuteness
he may he said during the present
lengthy pontifce to have been the power
behind the throne. He possessed more
influence with the Pope than any other
prelate, and he was one Of the strongest
opponents OF the liberal movement in
ls4s.. In ls49 he was appointed princi-
pie Secretary Of Foreign affairs when
Rome, in 1870, was Incorporated in tho
kingdom Of Italy. He has shared the
triumphs and humiliatioBs Of the reign
ing pontid, and in his death the latter
lost his best and wisest friend and coun-
seloI.
