A Prophecy Of the Pacific Coast.


Twenty years hence nearly all the
breadstuifs for export from the United
States will be produced in the country
west of the Rocky Mountains. The
exception will be the surplus production
of corn in the Mississippi Valley. Ohio
has ceased to be great whcat-produc-
ing State. This crop is yearly dimin-
ishing in Illinois; in Minnesota, the
production this year was only about as
much as in California, where we had
one of the dryest seasons ever known.
The agriculture of all the vast region
west of the Rocky Mountains is still in
its infancy. Some of the great terrific
ries are not yet producing breadstuffs
enough for home CONSUMPTION. That
was true of Oregon few years ago
Now there is large fleet of wheat-laden
ships sailing from her principal port
every year. Utah Territory, with the
exception of little spot about Salt Lake,
made no show, of agricultural products.
Now the best potatoes found west of the
Mississippi River are found ia Utah, and
sent ever to California in large quanti-
ties for consumption. Fruit-cuiture has
been pushed beyond the Sierra. The
great apple-orchards will be far up the
mountains ON either slope. The culture
of the grape and the wine interest will
probably be west of the Sierra, although
it is just possible that we have not yet
found the best soils for the production
of wine grapes. The maximum of
lumber production has already been
reached in the States east of the Mis-
sissippi. The eastern timber belt has
been explored, and most of the lands
reduced to private possession. The
timber belt of the Pacific coast, north of
Oregon, covers an area clear up to the
north limit of Alaska, or as far Us the
climate will permit. No impression has
been made upon the forests of Alaska,
and the timber resources of Washing
ton Territory will last long time

the sloop- of-war Oneida, being the 9TH

vessel with the British steamer Bombay
in the Bay of Yeddo, Japan, in 1870,
when only 2 officers and 81 men out of
"a officers and l52 men were saved from
a watery grave. 1t is a peculiar fact
that all the unfortunate national ships
lost within the last decade were named
after tribes of Indians, viz: Saranac,
Saginaw, Idaho, Oneida and Huron, in
all of which there was fearful loss of
life.-Baltin0re American.

Beavers ut Work.

in almost any stream in the mountain
GUS parts of Wyoming Territory, you
may find more or less beavers OF beaver
DAMS But Green river and this whole
region, writes a member of Hayden's
surveying party, surpasses any place I
know of as resort for these animals,
now SO scarce east of the Mississippi.
In the rocky canon higher up, this creek
was thirty OF forty yards across, nor
would it have been much wider in the
more open valley below had it not been
impeded. But for o dozen miles the
beavers had so damned it and choked it
with their houses, that the water spread
out to mile or more i'll width, and hun
dreds Of dead or living trees, once fan
back from the margin, were standing
equally far out in the water. Some OF
the dams measured 100 or more feet In
length, and were built on curve,with
the hollow of the curve up stream, yet
so substantially that they were standing
the beating of the freshet with slight
damage. All along the bank of the
stream the hillside was bare of aspens,
and their stumps, cut off close to the
ground, showed what had destroyed
them. Some of the stumps were OF
trees ten OF twelve inches in diameter,
and seventy-fve yards from the water,
yet there was no doubt that these rodents
had felled those trees, trimmed off the
branches, peeled away the bark, and
then dragged the log all the way to the
water to put into new dam or repair an
old one. Indeed, we surprised some OF
them at work. Most of the dams were
shorter than those L have mentioned,
and ran from one to another, so that there
was network of them supporting a
growth of willows, and each enclosing o
little basin of deep, still water, in which
would rise like an island the domed top
| of their home. But the houses of many
were under the bank, and of others be-
meath the dams, as we could see, by the
paths to them, which showed plainly
through the water. Wherever the will
lows grew closely-,to the waters edge
for some distance there would be roads
through them at frequent intervals, the
stems gnawed off and the weeds trodden
down smooth. "Busy as beaver" &C
quires new force when, we think how
ceaselessly he must work to get his daily
food, collect his winter stores, keep his
house in order, repair his dam, and
guard against enemies. We saw none
of the animals themselves. They are
rarely seen by any one, being able to
detect your approach by the jar of the
ground, if not otherwise, and hide them.

limited at Last.

4 quiet wedding occurred in Middle
town, Orange County, n. Y, wit in the
the last few months, at which there were
no guests, the mother of the bride being
the only witness of the ceremony besides
the officiating clergyman. In 1862, a
young gentleman, who was betrothed to
the lady, enlisted in the Union army.
His sweetheart made no effort to dis
suade him, and with breaking heart
babe him adieu, and quietly buried her
self in her home with her widowed
mother, the only living member of her
family besides herself. For time all
went well, and loving letters cheered the
gallant soldier. After the battle of
Charlottesville, his letters suddenly
ceased. Letter after was written to him
and his comrades, but all that could be
learned was that after that terrible battle
he was missing His stricken sweetheart
never entirely abandoned hope, and lived
on, hoping against hope for his return.
After many weary years, her patient
troth has been rewarded, and she is now
a happy bride. Some time during the
fight he was taken prisoner, and soon
after he was sent to Southern pison,
where he was kept about year. He
finally. escaped and reached the sea-
board, where he conceived the idea of
personating an English sailor, and get
ting to England on blockade runner.
After much delay and many disappoint-
ments, during which his courage almost
failed him, he succeeded. He remem-
bers sailing through the blockading
squadron. After that all is q blank. He
learned afterward that he had been taken
i'll, and soon after insane. On his ar
rival in England he was taken to an in
sane asylum by the captain of the block
ade runner. where he remained until q
year ago, when he was discharged cured,
but penniless. He succeeded, through
friends in the asylum, in obtaining a sit
uation in o mercantile house, where he
won the esteem of the principals, to
whom he told his story. A leave of alb.
sence was given him; he came to Middle
town and found his old sweetheart, now
lady of thirty-two, still faithful to his
memory. They were quietly married,
and are now in England, where he pro.
poses to remain for number of years.

Origin of Names.

A large number of names derive their
origin from the seasons, as Winter and
Spring; many others from the elements,
as Frost, Snow, Flood; good or bad for
tune; points of the compass, as North.
South, East, West; dignities, offices, ag-
riculture, utensils and astronomy; and
also from animals, as Wolf, Lamb, Lion,
Cat; vegetables, minerals, colors, arms,
etc. But by far the most numerous class
of surnames are those which had their
rise in certain trades or professions, of
which q few are-Webster, a weaver;
Baily, bailiff; Fletcher: maker of ar
rows Qrom the French feche); Tucker,
a cloth fuller, to say nothing of the very
obvious Butcher, Baker, Carpenter,
etc. A search in the old statute-books
will furnish plenty of such names as
Robertus de Bakester Baxter p Simon
Honmonger, John Daylaborer, etc. An
other very fertile source of derivation
was from places, as Gilbertus Anglicus,
Godefridus de Meanwhile, Henricus de
Hessia, Guliemus Parisiensis, etc., and
most of the names terminating in by,
ham, ton and vile, belong to this class.
Further q large number of surnames
were originally patronymics-that is to
say, names formed by the addition of
son, or some other word expressive of a
similar relation to the paternal name.
The Normans superadded Fitz (the old
French for .fJs), as Fitz-Allan, Fitz- Ger
aid, Fitz- Walter the Irish O, as O'Don-
nell; the Scotch Mac, as MacDougall;
and the Welsh APP, as Apthomas. 1t was
once remarked to the writer as curious
that Ben should be such common name
among the Hebrews, and considerable
surprise was manifested when it was
pointed out that it was originally pre-.
fix, Ben-hadad being simply the son Of

A Light i'm the Window.

Of the coast of one of the Orkney
Islands, and right opposite the harbor,
stood a lonely rock against which, in
stormy nights, the boats of returning
fishermen often struck and were lost.
Fifty years ago there lived on this
island young girl in cottage with her
father and they loved each other very
tenderly. One stormy night the father
was away on the sea in his fisherman s
boat, and though his daughter watched
for him in much fear and trouble, he did
not come home. Sad to tell, in the
morning his dead body was found washed
upon the beach. His boat, as he sought
the harbor, had struck against the
Lonely Rock" and gone down.
In her deep sorrow, this fisherman
orphan did not think of herself alone.
She was scarcely more than child,
humble, poor and weak but she said in
her heart, that while she lived no more
boats should be wrecked, no more boats
should be lost on the LONELY Rock, "
if light shining through the window
would guide them safely into the harbor.
And so, after watching by the body of
her father, according to the custom Of
her people, until it was buried, she laid
down and slept through the day but
when night fell, arose, and lighting a
candle, placed it in the window of her
cottage, so that it might be seen by any
fisherman coming in from sea, and guide
him safely into the harbor She sat by
the candle all night and trimmed it, and
spun but when the day dawned she
went to bed and slept.
AS many hanks as she had spun before
for her daily bread she spun still, and
one over, to buy her nightly candle; and
frem that time to this, for fifty years,
through youth, maturity, and old age,
she has turned night into day, and in
the snow storms of winter, through
driving mists, deceptive moonlight and
solemn darkness, that northern harbol
has never once been without the light Of
her candle.
How many lives she saved by this
candle, and how many meals she won by
it for the starving families of the boat.
men, it is impossible to say. How many
dark nights the fishermen, depending Oh
it, have gone forth, cannot be told

Always brighter when daylight waned
the fishermen had only to keep it con.

was but one thing to intercept it, anG
that was the rock. However far they
might have gone out to sea, they had
only to bear down for that lighted win
dow, and they were sure of SAFE en-.
trance to the harbor.
BIT what do the boatmen's wives
think OF this? Do they pay the pool

poor or rich, they know better than that
DO they thank her? No. Perhaps they

Allied Enemies to Health.

In many Of the fairest and most fertile dis
tricts of North and tropical America air and
water are allied enemies to health, both being
which produce chills and fever, bilious remit
tents and febrile disorders of still more
malignant type. Fortunately, sure pre-
ventive and curative of such destructive
maladies is to be found in Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, vegetable preparation which
is infinitely to BIO preferred, both on account of
its efficacy and freedom from all hurtful pro-
perties, to the deleterious mineral and alkaloid
remedies of the pharmacop@a. It's moreover,
constipation, urinary troubles, rheumatism,
and nervousness, promotes appetite and sleep,
and is capital antidote to depression Of spirits.
