AN INSPECTORS ADVICE.

Yesterday forenoon farmer. hav.
ing a barrel of cider on tap in his
wagon, was doing a fine retail bust
ness at five cents per glass, when
man with very thin voice and very
old clothes softly advanced and said:
"Has the State Inspector of Pom.
ological Juices inspected that cider
yet ?"
"l-l guess not" replied the far
mer, greatly embarrassed in mo.
ment.
81 thought not" continued the
thin voiced man; swell, sir, you can
draw me full glass"
The farmer drew one, scanning the
man with considerable anxiety, and
when the "Inspector" had received
i, he held it up between his eye and
the sun and said
"The precipitation appears most
too rapid, while the floating particles
denote unusual compression. Per
haps second glass will be clearer"
He swallowed the contents of the
first at exactly four gulps, and tax :,
ing second glass he critically ex.
amined it and said.
"Ah! the precipitation is clearing
away. This cider seems to have
been made from apples"
'lt was sir, and they were nice
apples, too" replied the farmer.
Lets see how third glass would
look | am not quite satisfied on the
point OF compression"
He drained the second and re.
ceived the third, and as he slipped it
he inquired:
"YOu used a hand cider press
didn't you ?"
"Yes sir"
"Ah | thought so. Worked

"Well, think it did. Be little

TERRITORIAL UNIVERSITY.
Seattle post"

A little over one year ago Ut
rangements were made by the terms
of which the territorial university.
which had been closed for more than
a year, would be opened under the
management of Prof. A. j. Ander.
son, OF Portland. The outlook was
certainly not very encouraging; hut
with a determination to succeed,
Prof. Anderson and lady commenced
the work of building up from the
ground, an institution OF learning
which should guarantee to its pupils
a thorough, practical and classical
education. With this resolve work
was commenced one year ago last
September. The university opened
with 40 pupils. Since that time the
growth of the institution has been
rapid and permanent. Yesterday
evening the fall term for the present
year closed with an attendance Of
122 scholars; nine teachers being
employed, who devote their entire
time to the growing demands of the
university-four Of them teaching
special branches. At the beginning
of the next term-December cd
three pupils will enter upon the
studies OF the freshman year of the
college course, and several others
will begin the study of Greek, pre-
paratory thereto. If funds are pro.
vided, it is the intention of the fac
ulty to offer full college course to
graduation. Thirty pupils are TAX
ing the business course; others are
In preparatory studies, including
Latin and the common branches, and
twenty are pursuing the studies OF
the first year of the scientific course.
No primary pupils are admitted. 1t
has been found in these institutions
that this system has been beneficial;
and although a different plan from
that formerly pursued at this univer-
sity, it has proved of material ad-
vantage.
One of the most encouraging in.
dications is the large attendance
from comparatively different sections
Of the territory-thsre being scarce
ly a county west of the Cascade
mountains without representation in
the university.
The faculty consists of--A. J. An.
derson, A. NJ, President, Mathemat-
les and Chemistry; Mrs. l.. P. An
derson, Preceptress, French, Botany,
and Elocution; A. T. Burnell, A. b.,
Latin and English; G. P. Anderson,
Principal Of Commercial Depart
ment; Miss R. E. Scott, NJ. S., A. b.,
Greek and English Literature; Mrs.
Emma Guttenburg, German; o. P.
Anderson, Plain and Ornamental
Penmanship; Miss Jennie Hancock,
Telegraphy; Miss Minnie Sparling,
Painting and Drawing.
One feature in connection with
the Territorial university which de.
serves special mention, is the facili-
ties for boarding and lodging, which
can be obtained for young men for
s45 per quarter, and for young ladies
at the residence of Prof. Anderson.
where they are under the direct care
and superintendence Of Mrs. Ander.
son.
Thus it is seen that in every view
the territorial university as equally
as thorough as any like institution
in Oregon, where numbers of stu
dents have gone for instruction from
this territory. Prof. Anderson has
labored conscicntiously for the up
building Of the institution, and the
success attending his labors is per.
manent and gratifying. 1t is earn
estIy hoped that the aid granted from
the territory in the way of scholar.

Cure for Dyspepsia.

Milk and ime-water are now fire.
quently prescribed by physicians in
cases Of dyspepsia and weakness of the
stomach, and in some cases are said to
prove benefcial. Many persons who
think good bread and milk great lux
ury frequently hesitate to eat it, for the
reason that milk will not digest readily /;
sourness of the stomach will often fol-
low. But experience proves that lime
water and milk ale not only food and
medicine at an early period of life, but
also at later, when, as in the case of
infants, the functions of digestion and
assimilation have been seriously i'm
paired. A stomach taxed by gluttony,
irritated by improper food, infamed by
alcohol, enfeebled by disease, or other
wise untitled for its duties-as is shown
by the various symptoms attendant upon
indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysen-
terry, and fever-will resume it's work,
and do it energetically, on an exclusive
diet of bread and milk and lime water.
A goblet of cows milk may have four
tablespoonfuls of lime water added to it
with good effect. The way to make
lime-water is simply to procure few
Jumps of unslaked lime, put the lime in
a stone jar, add water until the lime is
slaked and of about the consistency of
thin cream the lime settles, leaving
the pure and clear ime-water at the
top. Great care should be taken not to
get the lime-water too strong. Keep to
the direction as to the consistency, and
when the water rises pour it off without
obtaining any of the lime. The lime
water is also very good to apply to
burns and scalds. In shaking the lime,
particular care should be taken that
none of the particles fly into the eyes.

A Strange Presentiment.

A late number of the Louisiana
Journal says: Ernest, bright boy of
seven years, Oldest son of Mr.. Samuel
Templeton, gatekeeper on the Prairie
Vile gravel road, just below this city,
met with an accident on Thursday Of
last week which resulted in his death
soon afterward. About noon on. that
day he mounted wagon loaded with
wood, with tho intention of unloading
it. The lad seized a stick and was in
the act of throwing it to the ground,
when he lost his equilibrium and fell,
head foremost, to the earth. His cries
brought his father to his assistance, who
led him into the house. The boy did
not seem to be much injured. He was
conscious, explained to his father how
be fell, pointed out his bruises, and
conversed nationally for an hour, when
he suddenly lost consciousness and re-
mained in that condition until his death,
which occurred about six hours after
the accident.
The night preceding the above sad
accident Mrs. Templeton, the mother of
the child, had strange presentiment of
his death. Early i'll the evening, while
the child was asleep, sine approached his
little bed, and looking earnestly into his
face, burst into tears.
The grief with which she was over
come was intense and uncomfortable.
It attracted her husbands attention,
who inquired into it's cause. "Samuel," 7"
the weeping mother answered, 81 don't
think we will ever raise this child" "I
can see no cause for your fears" replied
the father, "the child is as healthy as
can be-"
But this answer did not satisfy the
mother, for dark cloud hung over her.
Her heart beat rapidly and heavily.
Strange shadows crossed her vision; an
unseen grief oppressed her; the presage
of some horrible coming event cast
burden on her soul she scarce could
bear.
At the usual hour the sobbing mother
retired, but her rest was uneasy. To-
ward midnight she arose from her bed
and again sought the couch of her boy,
who slept the deep, sweet sleep of inno-
cent childhood, all unconscious OF the
grief stricken mother who bent over
him, bathing his face with tears and
kisses.
Mr.. Templeton expostulated with his
wife, and assured her tia! her fears
were mere whim, and beggel her to
calm her grief and 60 to sleep. But no
sleep came to that mothers relief that
night, and day broke TO bring her no
respite from the sad burden her bleed.
ing heart bore. The slightest unusual
noise about the house thrilled her with
evil forebodings, and thus the weary
hours dragged on until the foreshadowed
end came in the accident as above re-
lated
