STEAM GOLFERS.

Among the flee. Of coal and lumber
carriers now lying in our port is the
steamer Empire, Of 70z tons bur,hen,
a vessel built expressly for the coal car
rying trade OF this coast. or to par'icu-
larize. of Coos Bay She WAS built at
Port Madison in 1873. and when ccm-
pleted her hull was lowed over and
rugged up here at our own wharves
We believe her first cargo was taken
down from here At that time i: war
thought that large numbers Of this kind
Of vessel would be built specially
adapted as colliers aud would take tht
place Of the slower sailing vessels eD-
tirely.
We cannot bu, think that j, would
have proved profitable in tn. case of
the Seattle Coal and Transportation
Co, had they put the plan il execution
then, ~ in addition to being enabled to
do al their own carrying they would
Of course have ne >riy monopolizsd also

less. a part Of that of British Columbus
Even yet it looks feasible. not With
standing the present activity in the
matter Of steamboat competition. OF
course stes -ner would average many
more trips in q year than . sailcr
Owning their own vessels they would
be able themselves TO make ell the
profits there are TO be made on freigbts
as well as on the coal itself. Having
their own mines their fuel would cost
nothing more than the expense of min.
ing.
The Empire is built with but small
capacity on account Of adaptation
to tho disadvantsgcous route were
she was designed to run. For
the Seattle trade these vessels could be
built with a tonnage anywhere from
1000 to 5000 tons. and therefore could
DO run with much greater economy.
At any rate We would like to see
home industry encouraged by the pat
ronage in our local trade of home built
vessels.

About Sunshine.

Our object is to examine solor heat
and solar magnetism from scientific
as we'll as from a medical or therapu-
trio standpoint. In these days OF
progress in discoveries, we should
make some advance toward better
understanding of the most essential
life-sustaining principles ia nature.
For the present, we say: Open Your
w ndows toward the sun, and, ii pos
sible, let some fresh air and sunshine
into your sleeping apartments every
day-not merely streak of blue
light, but good supply of pure sun
shine, as it comes from it's foun tain
head, in all its beauty and loneliness
1t will avail nothing to cit under the
light of blue glass an hour or two
each day, and sleep in north-front,
poorIy-ventlated, musty bed room
in the night. All the progress made
during the day will, under such cir
cumstances, be lost during the night.
Many are now running with eager
haste to get streak Of blue light,
which, at most, ia only one-seventh
part of the pure article, and hope to
gain what they have lost by neglect
ing proper application of their share
of that "sea of beams, that bright
Pacific, on whose peaceful bosom all
pleasant things come floating down
to us"
Sunshine is the only gift of Nature
and Providence not subject to decay
and change The gentle breeze that
fans US in a Summer evening may
change into sweeping tornado; but
sunshine never rises into storms and
hurricanes. The beautiful rivulet
that flows from the mountain springs
may swell into q mountain torrent,
and sweep away our earthly posses
sions. The grand old ocean may
overleap its boundaries and engulf
the inhabitants OF surrounding coun-
tries in q watery grave; bnt no crest
ed pillows rise on the waves of sun.
shine. 1t has no sweeping torrents to
carry desolation and destruction over
land and sea. In the morning il
gently lifts the dew-drop from the
flower and holds it in its bosom unit
the twilight of evening calls it back
again to revive it from the heat oil
the day. Again-everything in ter.

The Dividing Line.
the Editor of TIE HERALD:

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Where is the dividing line between
public and private rights? 1t seems
this fine is not as plainly marked as
it should be: it should be marked SO
plain that the individual would be in
no danger of violating public rights,
and so that the public need not vio-
late individual rights. Let us see il
we can find where the line is: here
are two men, each with capital of
ten thousand dollars; one builds a
grist-mill; the othcc invests in a
manufacturing establishment d
makes wagons and buggies. The
public, by its laws, says to the form
err, you shall receive but so many
quarts per bushel for grinding; 80
when wheat is worth but fifty cents
per bushel the miller must do three
times the work to get dollar that
be would if wheat was worth 81 so.
Now if he cannot afford to run his
mill upon these terms be is forced by
the law to either stop 1t or work on
at loss, or help himself to little
more and thus violate the law. Now
what right have we to make laws, &c
place man in such an uncomfort-
able fix? If we have right to do it,
and it is our duty to fix price on
the miller's work, it is our duty to
fix our price on the wagons and bug
gies made by the other. There il
no getting around this. But it ap
pears to me that we the people
have, by our laws, crossed the divid
ing line between public and private
rights and are robbing the individual
of some of his natural rights. Now
suppose two men each withsS10,000

to him, "You shall not go into the

on end, and struggling with emotions
of indignation inexpressible,h he plank
ed down the dust and repaired to the
depot Just in time to see the train de-
part without him, and Mrs. H., run
ming up and down the platform crying
they had carried off her satchel.
'Gled # it, said Mr.. H., and |
wish tley'd carried you off with it /!
All this dang d. trouble and expense
for box of honey that you could
buy anywhere for a box'
It's your own fault. You'd no
business TO leave it in the car; and
here we got to wait four hours in
this nasty old depot for the next
train
They waited 10 silence those four
long weary hours, then they journey
ed on to B ston without farther in
cident, found their satchel and their
friends, exchanged the customary
greetings and were happy.
1t was three miles by horse cars
to the express Office, the day was hot
and Mr.. I'll. was lost in tho narrow
and eniangled streets, but he found
the Office at last, only to be told that
the honey had not arrived The sec
ond day he received the same melan-
choly report, but on the third the ex-
pressman rejoiced his heart with the
welcome words, Your honey has
come and reaching up to the shelf
he handed down large platter say
ing:
'We were obliged to purchase this
platter, as the shaking of the car and
the bot weather were too much for it.
Express charges two dollars, platter
one dollar fifty, is three-ffty.'
X
There are moments in every mans
life when all the forces of his moral
nature are loudly called for, and this
was one of them to Mr.. Ii. ia which
he demonstrated his complete master
over the baser instincts of his nature
by liquidating the bill without muir
mer and with that Christian resigna-
ton that shopeth all things and en-
dureth all things, he picked up the
platter, walked rod or two along
the sidewalk, and then giving it a
sling saw it break into hundred
pieces in the middle of the street.
Did you throw that platter of
honey in the public thoroughfare 2
said a policeman tapping him gently
on the shoulder.
Yes, | did, and I'll be DANCED if
| wouldn't thrown it there if it had
been a barrel You see my wife and
| we started from BrocBport-'
Five dollars fine for throwing
anything of that character in the
public highway, so fork over or ac-
company me to the station house.
There was o monetary pause,
during which the 'Recollections of q
Busy life swan before his eyes in
sea of honey, and a heavenly smile
played around his features as he
planked down the last installment

(kor the heralu1
nOn the 18th of November 1872 star in the constel
lation of Cassiopeia became all at once so brilliant
that it surpassed the spiendor Of the brightest plan
cts and might be even at nday 1t exhibited
dazzling white then of red dish yellow last of an
ashy paIeness in which its light expired March 18th
1872 It's place was 50 N. N. E. of Csph.
Upon chill November night,
Lo, in the northern heavens bright,
star flashed forth in flames of light,
burning star of dazzling white
Astonished, fearful and amazed,
Our world beheld, and as they gazed
Gods power was seen and felt and praised
Brighter than planets shone the flame:
As weeks rolled on and winter came,
With lurid light it burned the same.
In blaze of noon, in northern sky
The burning star beamed forth on high
warning lamp to wondering eye
4 flaming world, o vast display,
OF Gods almighty power and way
Grand proof of what the Scriptures say
But how beyond description vast
The cohagraton thus to Last
BeheId by such a distant host
What has been done in that great world
That such q bolt of wrath is hurled
In flaming banners all unfurled
Whose heart was pierced with darke st
Who shed such agonizing tears fears
That cen the depth, responsive, hears,
And flame unquenchable appears?
Or does God burn the spheres to show
How transient is our home below,
Hon. frt,a His ynrd that II ma knnw
The rolling hills now sink and melt,
While fires the tottering mountains belt;
In ocean depths the flames are felt.
Spring came and fainter grew the star
Its ashy paleness seen afar.
The weary fires now cease to war.
Fainter and fainter still it grew,
Till lost upon the fields of blue,
Faded and hidden from the view.
Since then three centuries have flown,
But that great star has not been known
Void fields of blue where once it shown.
See what the mighty God hath done
Millions of stars like Wonder sun,
If they were mingled into one,
Might then be but 1.-THE as vast
As that dead star now overcast,
Perished and gone, its glory past,
A world of ashes lone and waste
And vet the same creative power
That touched earth i'll its natal hour
And made from chaos Eden's bower;
The same who said tLet there be light"
And brought the daybeam from the night
Can make that ruined world as bright
As any in the universe;
All cleansed, if need be, from the curse,
And filed with angels to rehearse
In glorious anthems full of praise
Gods love of trnth and wondrous ways
That He forevermore displays
His boundless "tent" is stretched on high,
Star>curtained, bright immensely
AND YET HE HEARS OUR FAINTEsT CRY -
Zen BOWED IN DEATH LEST WE SHOULD DIE.
