PAGANIS.N AND DEATH.

The old pagan philosophers did not, as
we have recently seen it stated, "cOthe
death IN herrsrs christianity refuses to
recognize" SO far from this, they had
no conception of many of the horrors
with which the popular opinion of christ
endom has enveloped the inevitable event.
They painted no pictures of 1.-THE lake
which burneth with fire and birthstone"
They would have deemed it IN insult to
the Deity to believe that beyond the grave,
human souls were fed upon by undying
worms and scorched by quenchlng flames.
In some cases OF exceptional and enormous
crimianity they ip:imatcd that the pur-
ishment might I've everlasting, but that the
great bulk of mankind were doomed to
such an awful fate was an idea that never
entered the pagan mind. And the Greek
and Roman heather, whom We so often
pity on account of their ignorance and
superstition, would have rejected with
scorn and contempt the suggestion that
that an error in belief deserved, and
would receive, endless damnaton. D, ath
TO them was not cure, but IL blessing.
They met it calmly and cheerfully, ms
scmthing they could not avoid if they
would, and would not if they could, they
represented death, not In the shape of a
loathsome skeleton draped in a shroud
and carrying the dismal emblems of NOR.
tality, but as winged boy with downcast
face and inverted torch--a bright and
beautiful angle, not grim and ghasty
demon. 1t is strange, to say the least, that
II fundamental principle the fatherhood
of God and the infnitude of His love and
mercy, should, through the influence of
its theology, surround the end of life
with darker doubt and deeper gloom
than did that ancient religion which
christianity ex.inguished.

Says the Seattle Tribune regarding a
chief of pioneers: "One would hardly
think it, to see the man, but it is a fact
that Mr.. A. B. Young. now OF Milton
in this country, is amoag the very
earlist of the living American pioneers
on the Pacific coast. Saturdaylas the
23d instant, was the forty second ami.
,ersary OF his arrival on this coast; hav.
ing arrived Mt the mission of San Diego,
in California, just forty two years ago
in vessel from Boston on trading
expedition for hides, etc. He then re-
mained two and half years, when he
returned to his Eastern home to come
back few years later to spend here the
remainder Ofhis life. Few oil the presen t
pioneers Of this coast antedate Mr.
Young in their advent to this genial
cline"

LONDON, April, Sit is claimed on
all HANDS, except in purely partisan dis
cussions, that the Cabinet is sincerely
desirous to avoid war. The withdrawal
of the treaty OF St. Stefano, or uncondit

Europe, are regarded as the only alter

Lord Lyons, the British Ambassador

MeSsrs Katz and Dodge, under the

aae making extensive preparations to go
into the business of sailing and smoking
salmon, hams and bacon. Their estub-
lishment will add greatly to our Island.
1t is their intention to- commence first on
salmon. Their smoke-house will smoke
six tons at time. and the packing house
has capacity which will allow Of the Kill
ling of 100 head of hogs per day, with
room besides fol- the packing of many
pounds of salmon. Success, we trust,
will follow them, as they are the rich,
men in the right place. They expect 10
commence operations in about four weeks
and we all trust their business will COM

We learn from the most reliable source
that Mr. Montgomery, residing in the
Nez Perce country, has two daughters
who have secured to themselves three
tracts of excellent land-one by pre-.

they propose to cultivate. In addition
to this, we learn that Miss Josie Graham,
of Washington Territory, is looking out
for piece of land on which to locate.
This may he considered new phase of
wonen's rights. A bachelor gentleman
of Salem, who has 81 900 and horse,

The Sequim cannery is carried on by IL

and Mr.. F. u. Albright. formerly of San

sCribed the enterprise. The work is
largely experimental thus far although
under the superintendency of Mr.. Man g,
ming, a gentleman whose experience in
the practical working of such enterprises
is by no means limited. A short time
ago the company located on what is cal led
the johnson spit, on the west side of
Sequim Bay and about mile above its
mouth. Here they erected u rude one
story building about 1Sx6O feet, and
commenced the onslaught on CLAIMS. In
one end of the building furnace has
been erected upon which two vats are
placed in which to boil the CLANS A
separate watts placed conveniently near
in which the CLANS are opened by steam.
They are boiled altogether about two
hours, after which they are canned and
sealed up, but are lett standing several
days previous to being tested, labelled
and cased. The cans hold two pounds.
full weight. and each case holds two
dozen cans. Some ten persons are thus
far directly employed in the work besides
those who dig and furnish the clans.
Sequim Bay is about tour miles long,
with al average width OF about q mile.
A large portion OF its shore line Yields an
abundance of CLANS, so that the company
have no fears OF their stock giving out,
and during the season in which the clans
are unfit for use it is proposed to put up
halibut. These will put up in one. pound
cans; and, it is expected, can be success.
fully treated. At present the establish
ment is not running full time on account
of the Inconvenience of tide. A shipment
goes to San Francisco by the Dakota
this week. The cans are all made in the
building so that very little unnecessary
expense Is incurred. The labels, gotten
up in San Francisco are neat ami attrac-
tive, bearing on one side handsome
cut. three clans in their natural state.
