THE CRAZE i RESER fOfR OF HIS.
TORY.

IOh1.
Ali human beings lay carefully away
i'll sepulchre or urn the dust of their
dead. No race or tribe is so low that a
certain reverence for the dead forms of
associates is not felt. The African, III
dian, Esquimaux, Chinaman and Turk,
as well as the Caucasian, bury their
dead with care for decency usually su-
perior to that exercised in most other
acts of life. And why this care, since
! no grave, however sacred, can always re-
main unhallowed by alien touch? It is
no matter whether the question be an
swered OF not. The fact of interest is
the one fact that the more closely. guard
ed graves are ever made to be torn open
by the living of subsequent days.
A peculiarly of burial III barbarous
and civilized countries alike, and es-
pecially III the former, is the surround
ing of the last resting place of mortals
with relics of the human life of the pc
riod in which the subjects consigned to
the tomb lived. The barbarian is sur
rounded by his spears, bows, arrows,
flint-heads, trinkets, ETC., and in some
instances his livestock and even wives
are buried about him. In classic times,
rich were the jewels consigned to the
m2usoleum of monarchs and prominent
individuals, and carefully sealed and
guarded by solid stone and masonry.
And even in our own era the dead are
laid to rest in q death cradle of richest
trappings and finest material, while our
cemeteries are gardens of art, with their
ornaments of stone, marble and flowers
The grave is a reservoir of history
The first generation does not tear open
the graves of its ancestors neither does
the second, or the third. But in years
long after, when the grave is rich with
history, in its trinkets, in its jewels, in
ogist appears, and, with pick and spade,
undoes the sections book and reads its
pages.
The remains of the mound builders
have long been teaching the history of
an era most remote. Their resting
places have been long since attacked
and turned into chaos by the vandal de-
mands of science, and. though dead and
crrmbled, the bones and their relic
associates of the thousands of years
have been telling their marvellous living
tales.
The Greeks buried their dead we'll
They buried them deep and in stone,
and, as if to cherish the history of those
tombs, the ages following piled upon
the heroes of Troy more soil and more
stone, until nothing marked the places
but mountains of debris, which nature
kindly covered with grass, upon which
the shepherds fed their focks. They were
hidden deeply, but the auger of science
is longer than the whole earth is deep,
and, moreover, is divining rod, as per
sistive as susceptible to every attraction.
And it has reached the dust of Agamem-
non, has taken up the necklace of Helen,
and has read the histories of their grave

IMPORT4NCE OF PUNCTU4TION.

In some instances the omission OF a
point in punctuation does considerable
mischief. The omission of comma once
gave very awkward meaning to the IN
scription on tombstone " Erected to
the memory of John Phillips, accident
ally shot as mark of affection by his
brother"

THE LAST WORD.
DY MATTHEW ARNOLD.


Creep into thy narrow bed,
Creep, and let no more be said.
Vain thy onset all stands fast,
Thou thyself must break at last.
Let the long contention cease;
Geese are swans, and swans are geese.
Let them have it how they viii;
Thou art tired best be still.
They out-talked thee, Missed thee, tore thee
Better men Jared thus before thee;
Fired their ringing shot and passed;
Holly charged-and broke at last.
Charge once more, then, and be dumb !
Let the victors, when they come,
When the forts of folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall.

CLEANING LINEN.-One of the hardest
tasks that weekly recur is cleaning the
family linen. Now, during all the sum-
mer months, the sun may be harnessed
to this work, and he will do it well if
merely directed. Let the clothes be
thoroughly wet in soap suds, cold or
warm, and laid out on the grass. This
may be done at night if convenient-the
dews won't hurt them. Three or four
hours of hot sun will make rubbing
quite unnecessary, especially if the
linen, while lying ON the grass, be
turned once or twice, and moistened
with water from a watering pot. Then
it may be washed or rinsed, and hung or
spread out to dry. The latter is the
easier method, as it dirpenses with pins
and line, and gives the sun full oppor-
tunity to exert his bleaching properties.
Not drop of hot water need be used iii
the process. Of course washing done in
this way takes a longer time than by the
ordinary methods of rubbing and scald-
ing, but it requires less expenditure of
fuel and mtiscle, and feeble woman,
who would be quite unable to endure
the toll of the common way, by calling
the sun to her aid, and employing little
hands to help, may get through it easily.
In all such processes there must be ex-
pense somewhere, and if time be more
abundant than strength, let the expense
be in time.

ment is necessary to continue the
title in tho United States.
1t will be said that these are
mere distractions without any
practical bearing upon the ques-
tion, as these principles have
been constantly ignored in the
government of the Territories.
They are, nevertheless, funda-
mental principles, and the exer-
else of assumed powers by the
central government, if acquies-
ced in, can only end in central
despotism. Already have the
people of the Territories come
to be regarded as having no
rights not derived from Con-
gress, and the interests of the
future State are subjected to the
tender mercies of those who
have votes; and the public do
main is squandered in private
speculatlons, in building up mon
ster monopolies to dominate the
country and subjugate labor.

road. These are some of the
reasons why we object to an ex-
tension of time to a company
which has proved faithless, with
out guarantee of better conduct

DISPATCH takes ground with
those who oppose all eubsi-
dies, and would have the north
west do without all railway CON-
munication for another quarter
Of century, we have no more
to say"
The grounds upon which we
stand arc identically embraced
in Mitchcll's bill, granting the
proceeds Of the sales, instead of
the lands in fee, which the Ore
gonian opposes. We approve of
Mr.. Mitchell's bill also in the
provision of allowing the grant
to relapse to another company
in case of forfeiture, as that is
the only means by which Port
land can secure the construction
of the road. If that provision
had been placed in the first char
ter, both IN regard to the main
line and a branch, Portland and
Seattle would by this time each
have had a read connecting with
the Union Pacific. If they de-
pend upon the Northern Pacific
neither of them will ever have a
railroad connection with the
east.

lands during the year ending
September 9, 1877, as compared
with two preceding years, show
ing a large increase in the trade,

Forced payment of campaign
subscriptions by governmentem-
ployees is at an end. Assistant
Secretary Mccormick decided,
upon the application of a num-
Der of clerks who had received
Mr.. Appleman's circular, that
the department would take no
cogn,zance whatever Of the mat
ter. Mr.. Mccormick told the
clerks who applied to him that
if any of them regarded their
subscriptions as honest debts,
he supposed they would pay
them, but he said explicitly that
they would incur no penalty in
the department through their
failure or refusal to do so, and in
this he has the full sanction of
Secretary Sherman. The unpaid
subscriptions of the treasury
clerks are principally balances
due, and aggregate nearly S10,-
900. 1t is not probable that the
committee will be able to collect
much of this sum. The clerks
generally feel that the assess
ment of 1876 was made under
an implied threat Of discharge
if they refused. Now that they
are protected from robbery, they
naturally do not care to deprive
their wives and children of a
part of their living. There is
strong talk OF passing law
making the levying Of political
assessments. such as those In
question, infamous. by making it
a penal offence to solicit them.
Here the joke comes in: Ap-
pleman, treasurer of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee,
on the strength Of these assess
ments, borrowed upwards of Sl0,-
900 to carry on the last Presi-
Dental campaign, and under the
ruling of Mccormick will have
to liquidate the debt himself.

piers and explorers in this

James Benton informs the
Walla Walla Statesman, of re-
cent date, that he counted one
hundred persons heading for
ColEax. He states that nearly
all the bottom lands are taken
up, but back toward the noun
tains there is an amount of good
land open to settlement. They
have five saw mills on the Pa
louise, three of them operated by
steam power, and yet such is the
demand for lumber that the
mills refuse to take new orders.
Four Touring mills are now in
operation, and two more mills
will be ready for grinding in a
few weeks. Immigrants coming
in have means, and many of them
desire to purchase improved
farms. AS a rule the settlers are
satisfied with their claims, and it
is very rare that a man is found
willing to sell. At the present
rate of progress Whitman will
soon be the empire county of the
Territory.
This is only a small indication
Of what Washington Territory
will become with the completion
of the Seattle and Walla Walla
Railroad, and what 1t might have
been at this time. had the mana
gers of the N. p. Railroad Co.
carried out the design of the
munificent grant of land to con-
struct a line of railroad on the
/" shortest and most direct line to
Puget Sound" In that case the
magnificent country lying in
Eastern Oregon, between the
Cascade range and the Rocky
Mountains, would now be in di-
rect and cheap communication
with seaport market, from
which it could receive in return
an abundance of coal and lum-
Der at cheaper rates than any Of
the prairie regions of the old
Northwestern States can be sup
piled, making the lands in East
ern Washington more valuable
than the same number of acres
in any of the States a thousand
miles from the sea-board. The
transportation from this port to
Liverpool is less per ton than
over any five hundred miles Of
railIo DAD in the United States,
and two hundred miles of rail-
road from Seattle would reach
the heart of the grain growing
region of Eastern Washington;
a distance only equal to that
from the city , the centre of the
State of New York, where much
inferior farming lands command
from $50 to $3.50 an acre. Had
that railroad been completed and
