The LILLIPUTIANs.-One OF the
most remarkable freaks of Nature is
presented in the little boy and girl
on exhibition at the Carlton House,
the past week. They are repre-
sented to be % and "a years of age
respectively, although they do not
appear to be SO old. They are
feshy enough, however, for any
lengthy period of Development.
The boy Major Frederick" and the
girl "Lady Ada" are precisely 3G
inches in hight. They are very ret
icent and apparently bashful, but
this is not surprising when we con-
slider that this is their first exhibit
ton. They are great wonders, and
as an Oregon production are entitled
to the sympathies Of Pacific Coast
ers. After visiting the several cities
on this side they will be taken East
for exhibition.

@ Capt. Blinn. DR.. Waughop

week, with their coats off, working
as If for wages, about the new Uni
tartan Church. The windows in the
hall below have been hung with
weights and q strong and commodi-
GUS stairway to tho gallery in the
upper part has been built. Mr..
Petherick is likewise at work on the
ceiling Of the chapel, and is doing
some very fine work. He will prob
ably be through in a few weeks,
when the building will be finally COM
pleted.

the authority of Gov. Chadwick that
there is prospect of the early con-
struction of the projected mar
row-euage railroad from Ogden
to Walla-walla. The circumstance
which has revived this enterprise
has been the substitution of steel
rails for iron on the Union Pacific
road, between Ogden and Omaha.
The old rails, though partially worn
will be very serviceable for the light
trains of the narrow-guage system.
It is said that 200 miles of the road
will be built during the present year
II it is only begun, there need be no
fear Of its completion, with Jay
Gould for its hacker.
When it is completed to Walla-
walla, the necessity for reaching the
seaboard will at once be apparent,
and the question to be decided will
be q choice of the Columbia riv-
er route, or one across the noun
tains to Puget Sound. The latter
plan will undoubtedly find favor
with Eastern Capitalists who &C
knowledge no "pent-up Utica to
contract the development of thei,
grand enterprises. The route to
the Sound though it may cost more
which is not at all probable-will
be infinitely moro serviceable TO,
the trans-shipment of the worlds
produce and supplies.
If this project is pushed forward
now, it will probably supplant thu
Northern Pacific Railroad, and cause
q reversion of the immense tract O.
the public domain reserved on the
unoccupied portion Of the route
Let us hope that the report is wei
founded, and that the northern
Coast may receive the recognition
which her position and advantages
demand.

to many is most revolving. II is
that of Joseph Gascoign Nightingale
and his lady. Death in the form Of
sheeted skeleton is represented as
throwing open the marble doors Of
the tomb, and starting forth, as the
drapery. falls from his Aeshlcss frame,
launches his nnorring dart at the
unfortunate wife. She shrinks af-
frighted at the appearance Of the
hideous spectre, while the husband
with one arm endeavors to support
the shrinking form of his wife, with
the other he endeavors to ward of
the fatal blow.
Immediately back of the Choir,
and raised several feet above the
general level of the floor of the
Abbey is the
CHAPEL OF EDWARD THE COMPRESSOR.
In the center Of the platform is the
schrine of St. Edward, the Confessor,
surrounded by the following royal
personages: Edward /. and his
Rueen Eleanor, Henry Ill, Edward
III. and his Queen, PHILIPPE, Henry
", and Richard H., and Anne his
Queen. Behind the alter of Edward
the confessor stands two large chairs.
One of them was for Mary, wife Of
William of orange, ut the time Of
her coronation, and the other is an
old coronation chair which was
brought from Scotland by Edward l.,
about the close of the sixteenth cen
fury, and has been in use ever since.
Underneath this chair, and con-
nected with it, is large rough stone
which formerly belonged to the
monarchs of Scotland, and on which
they were crowned. This stone has
for ages been regarded with rever-
ance. as it is said whatever nation
OWNS it shall retain power. But
more than this, it is even said by
some to be the ,rrifaLIe stone which
the patriarch Jacob used rs pillow
when he beheld the vision of the
angels at Bethel.
The Choir, Transept and Nave, also
contain a great number Of monu-
ments, some of which are in very
bad taste, while others make q
powerful address to the heart as we'll
as the eye.
Shut in from the outside world,
and thus silently wondering among
the tombs of kings and queens, the
dust of archbishops, the enigies Of
statesmen, and those Of noble rank,
and the monuments of those occu-
plying a more humble sphere and
yet perhaps mory truly noble, one
can but reflect upon the frailties Of
human nature, and the insecurities
of oil earthly ties. Here tho mon
arch lays aside his crown, and
here the king and his subjects meet
upon the same level.
Westminster Abbey has witnessed
the coronation of all the kings and
queens of England, and even though
the coronation may have previously
occurred elsewhere, as in the case Of
Henry Ill, the ceremonies must
be again performed here.
