THE FAR NORTHWEST.
The United States TO Construct Fortifications
which will Menace British Columbia.

The Victoria British Columbial
ColoniSt says that the object of Gen.
Sherman's visit TO Puget Sound was
to inspect the sites of Notifications
surveyed and selected by Geo. Mich
Ter, United States army, some years
ago, on San Juan, Lopez aud Fidalgo
islands. Gen. Sherman landed at all
the islands and was particularly i'm
pressed with the excellent selection of
the site of the old English camp for
Notifications. From this site the Can.
al de Haro passage may be swept by
shore battery, and communications
with the main land completely blocked
at any time If the western terminus
of the Canadian railway were fixed at
Burrard inlet, single battery erected
on Lopez island would command Ro-
sario straits, and a speedy end would
be put TO Canadian commerce in the
Pacific, should hostilities between the
United States and Great Britain ever
occur. 1t is rumored that the Amer.
lean government await the report of
Gen. sherman before commencing
work on these Notifications, and that
an appropriation for the purpose viii
be asked from congress at its next
session

THE Her AID.
AT the Bar


"Who speaks for this man ?" From the great
white Throne,
Yelled in its roseate clouds the voice came
forth;
Before it stood parted soul alone,
And rolling East and West, and South and
North,
The mighty accents summoned quick and
dead:
Who speaks for this man ere the doom be
said?"
Shigerng he list led, for his earthly life
Had passed in dull, unnoted calm away;
He brought no glory to its daily strife,
No wreath of fame, nor genius fiery ray;
Weak, lone, ungifted, quiet and obscure,
Born in the shadow, dying mid the poor.
Lo, from the solemn concourse hushed and
dim,
The widows prayer, the orphans blessing
rose,
The struggler told of trouble shared by him,
The lonely of cheered hours and softened
woes
And like chorus spoke the crushed and sad,
" He gave us what he could, and what he
had y
And little words of loving kindness Tsaid.
And tender thoughts, and help in time of
need,
Sprang up, like leaves by soft Spring showers
fed,
In some waste corner, gown by chance-fung
seed;
In grateful wonder heard the modest soul,
Such triHes gathered to so blest a whole.
0ye, by circumstances, strong letters bound,
The store so little, and the hand so frail,
Do but the best We can for all around;
Let sympathy be true, nor courage fail
Winning among your neighbors poor and
weak
Some witnesses at your trial hour to speak.
Al the Year Round

Take away all sorrow out OF life,
and you take away all richness, and
depth, and tenderness. Sorrow is
the furnace that melts selfish hearts
together in love.-Anon.
VIII erever true wife comes, home
is always around her. The stars
may be over her head the glow
warm in the night-cold grass may be
the fire at her foot; but home is
where she is; and for noble woman
it stretches far around her, better
than houses ceiled with cedar or
painted with vermillion, shedding its
quiet light far from those who else
are homeless. --RuSkin.
1t is very high mind to which
gratitude is not painful sensation.
If you wish to please, you will find
it wiser 10 receive, solicit even,
favors, than accord them ; for the
vanity of the obligator is always
flattered, that of the obligee rarely. -
Sir Edrard Bul,cer Lytton.
A man diseased in body can have
| little JOY with his wealth, be it ever
so much. A golden crown cannot
cure the headache, nor velvet clip
per give ease to the govt, nor pur-
pie robe drive away burning fever.
A head equal to the greatest events
and heart superior to the strongest
temptations, are qualities which may
be possessed so secretly that a mans
next door neighbor shall not discover
them, until some unforeseen occasion
calls them forth.
Civilization is the result of highly
complex organization In the snake

no wings, no feet, no fms. In bird
and beast the organs afe released and
begin to play. In men they are all un
bound and full of joyful action. With

TnE castor-oil plant is native of
India, where it is a perennial fifteen
or twenty feet high, with thick
stem. In cold climates it becomes an
annual. The rapid growth of the
plant is illustrated by an instance re-
ported in garden in Memphis, Ten
nessee. A castor bean was planted
in May, 1871, and in November it
had grown TO the height of twenty
three feet, with spread of foliage
fifteen feet IN diameter. The trunk
ten inches above the ground was
eighteen inches in circumference.

THE nth OF FEBRUARY.

Wattcrson's advice TO the Democrats
of Kentucky has been considered with
approval, and On the day of the counting
of the electoral vote, "ten thousand I'M
armed Kentuckians" will be present In
the city OF Washington. Many citizens
from other states will also be there, but
we do not believe the number will reach
one hundred thousand, the quota called
for by Mr.. Watterson. Some vague ru-
mors are ailoat that Mr.. Grant has
threatened to arrest Democrats who
shall appear in Washington on the Nth
OF February, but it Is safe
to say that the President will
not proceed to such lengths AS
that. The right Of one hundred
or Of one hundred thousand citizens TO
assemble in Washington on the nth of
February, or on any other day OF great
public interest to the country, or on any
day, may be deprecated by Gen. Grant
and his select circle of advisers, but it
cannot be intertered with in any manner
On the other hand, it is Questionable
whether the presence of "one hundred
thousand petitioner" IN the capital on
the l4th of February is advisable. The
"moral force" OF such demonstration
would not have much effect on party
leaders bent on political dishonesty, and
at a time when public excitement
Is fast going up to fever heat, we
are Inclined to believe that Democratic
discretion is the better part OF Demo-
cratic patriotism. SO far, the Democratic
party stands In most favorable attitude
before the country. Every day
since the seventh OF NoYem-
Der, it has been made morally and
numerically stronger by the accessions to
It's ranks OF some of the best material in
the Republican party, men whose con-
servatiye tendencies, sense Of right and
convictions OF what is for the best utter
ests Of the country, would not permit
them TO longer affiliate with a party of
political tricksters and conspirators.
The party cannot afford TO dissipate its
lately acquired strength by an exhibition
that would have even the senblance OF
desire on the part of its leaders to
conquer its rights by violence. A good
motto for the Democracy at this time is
the scriptural injunction: "Avoid even
the appearance Of evil" and the best adj
vice Democrats can give to the ten-thou.
