The Walla Walla Union efervesces
as follows: 'The Union would be re-
ioiced to see the Portland, Dalles Il
South Pass Railroad in operation, even
if it did not pass within 80 miles of
Walla Walla. 1t would make our
heart glad to see the workmen busy
building the II. ?. II. r. down either
side of the Columbia, even if it never
GOT nearer the sea than Portland. We
would sing thanksgiving hymns and cry
"Glory" if we could see the Columbia
run invoked to the sea. But if we
have to live until Portland capitalists
and business men accomplish either
project, we fear that future generations
will point to us as the only rival OF
Methuselah.

Geological FOOt.Prints.

It is not generally known that the
glen at Bellona, Yates county, contains
a remarkable curiosity. In the bed of
the stream, just above the village of
Bellona, is rock about fifty feet
square, uncovered mt low water. It is
entirely covered with footprints, deep
in the rock, of men and birds and extinct
animals. They are as clearly defined as
the footprints of the children who had
played on the damp bank the morning
1 visited the glen. Some of these hu-
man footprints are very small and deli
cate; others are large shockingly large
yet retain their symmetry The dis
tinctness of these tracks and their rela-
tive position preclude any doubt of their
character, even to an unscientifc OBJ
server.
found tracks of some animal in this
rock which measure thirty inches in
LENGTH mean distinctive tracks, sew
eral times repeated, with such exactness
of outline as to identify the species to
which the animal belonged. These
rocks are favorite resort of biologists
from all parts of the country. The
layer of limestone upon the surface of
which these footprints appear is about
Two feet in thickness. Some of the
finest specimens have been destroyed by
removal of parts of the rock for building
purposes-a fate which awaits the re-
mainder. 1 shall endeavor to procure
casts of several of those remaining.
1t is stated by reliable witnesses that
many years ago, while workmen were
blasting these rocks to obtain building
stone, a perfect petrifcation of human
head and face of an unknown type was
found. The workmen and many others
crowded around to examine it, and one
of them, impatient at the work being
stopped, struck it with his hammer and
destroyed it.-Letter to the Rochester

Il. V. Wrinkle Improved.

The japanese have the story OF Rip
Van Wrinkle in another form. A young
man fishing in his boat on the ocean
was invited by the goddess of the sea to
her home beneath the waves. After
three days he desired to see his old
father and mother. On parting she
gave him golden casket and key, but
begged him never to open it. At the
village where he lived all was changed,
and he could get no trace of his parents
until an aged woman recollected having
heard of their names. He found their
graves hundred years old. Thinking
that three days could not have made
such change, and that he was under
spell, he opened the casket. A white
vapor rose, and under it's influence the
young man fell to the ground. His
hair turned gray, his form lost its youth,
and in a few moments he died of old

CONCERNING LONGEVITY.

What IL shown by Life Insurance Tables.
Our modern life insurance tables con-
tain very accurate approximations to the
average age attained by civilized man
kind, and, being founded upon the best
attainable statistical information, can be
relied upon. 1t would appear that the
chances of the child who reaches the age
of 10 years in fair health for arriving at
the three score-and-ten, designated
by the Psalmist as the reasonable limit
of life, are 4 out of 10; that is to say,
there are 10000 men and women alive
at 70 years of age out of every 100, 900
who reach the age of 10 years. Only l
in that 100, 900 may expect, however, to
round out full century, although 10
may live to see 95 and 100 up to 90.
The fewer deaths occur between the ages
of % and % inclusive, at which period
men and women should be in the very
prime of their lives. Ofthe 100, 900, $50
will die the first year; then the annual
number of deaths will gradually decline
to 718 between the ages of % and %,
after which they again increase, until at
81 they reach 1000 per annum; at GO
they number over /, 500; at &c more than
1000, ana, between the ages of 70 and
IA they reach their maximum at $500
each year. AT 70, there being but 20, 900
of the original 100,000 remaining alto
gether, they commence to decline again.
At so the number of deaths annually Is
about 1000; at 81 it is less than 1000.
For the benefit of those curious in such
matters, the following table may be of
interest, the estimate being based upon
100, 900 children of either sex, who have
reached the age of 10 years, showing the
whole number that will live to the ages
mentioned:

A Heart.Rending Death.

Particulars of a terrible death by
freezing have reached here from the
village of Coboconk, in North Victoria,
100 miles northeast of here. On Satur-
day afternoon the 12-year-old son of
Mr.. John Campbell, farmer living on
Gruffitt's lake, north of Coboconk, saw
a deer making across the lake on the ice.
and, concluding that if the ice could bear
the deer it would carry him, started in
pursuit. A quarter of a mile out from
shore he suddenly went through, but
after desperate exertions, during which
his hands and legs were mangled by the
keen ice edges, reached a rock in the
very center of the lake. Here he cried
for help, and his father and mother with
a band of neighbors ventured out after
him, but the ice was frail and treacher-
GUS. Attempts were also made to reach
him in boats and canoes, but without
avail. 1t was bitterly cold, and as even
ing set in the boy became numbed and
weak. His cries grew fainter and
fainter, while the Efforts of those on
shore we're redoubled to no purpose.

A New England Tragedy.

One of the most horrible murders
ever committed III Berkshire county, oc-
CURED in the nerth part of Sheffield,
about four miles from Great Burlington,
recently. David Stillman and his wife,
both about 70 years of age, who lived
alone on their farm in retired road,
were murdered by negro with an ak,
their heads being horribly mutilated.
The old man lay upon lounge, with
three deep gashes on his head, and blood
spattered upon the wall and ceiling over
head. Mrs. Stillman was found lying
on the cellar bottom at the foot of the
stairs. She was evidently struck on the
head with an AK, laying open her temple
and undoubtedly killing her instantly.
The indications are that she fell upon
the top stair and tumbled thence to the
bottom. The boy who did chores for
the old people left about p. M, and
met a colored man named John Ten
Enyck, who inquired if the Stillmans
had any butter, and if they had COM
pany. Being told they had no company
and the boy not knowing about the but
ter, the negro went on. The boy, on
going over to do the chores next morn
luR, NlbCONtEtu bilt I'll bIt
table was pail of butter and the steel
yards, showing that Mrs. Stillman had
got some butter out to sell, and was then
murdered. The murderer was arrested
and brought to the place, and the body
of the murdered man shown to him, and
he denied ever having seen him before,
but Ten Enyck had blood on his panta-
looms and had about S15 in money, while
it was proven that he had none before.
Great excitement prevailed, and the
Sheriffs posse with difficulty restrained
the excited citizens from lynching the
prisoner. The Stillmans owned the
farm on which they lived, and were we'll
TODD people. One son is Methodist
minister, preaching in Connecticut, and
