RAILROAD MATTERS.

We find the following in the "Olympia,
Courier" regarding the railroad from that
place to Tenino:
The progress made by the working force
on the railroad Is beyond what was cX-
pected by any of the managers. The
grading is now complete from Warren's
point to the upper Tumwater bridge and
half of the present force will easily finish
up to the old grade near Bush Prairie
next week. In the meantime, part of
the force will be sent to Tenino to finish
up there, and about the middle of May the
road will be ready for the rails. If there
is 40 delay IN the transit from San Fran
cisco here. the laying of the rails will com
mencc about the middle of May and will
end early in June. The piling from War
ren's point toward Olympia will be CON-
menced on Monday next by Messrs. Little
john and French. The road will run
along the shore line as nearly as possible
from the point near the west end OF the
long bridge. The depot will be AZ the
draw. and it is expected that piles for the
track will be driven by the side OF the
bridge. though this part OF the work has
not been decided upon. With this cheer
ing news the pulse quickens. and MS the
certainty Of the accomplishment of this
to our people, great work becomes appar-
ent, new life aud energy and soon.
Instead of being one Of the most quet
towns on the Sound Olympia will be all
alive with activity and improvement.

The Antecedenis of Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are in
ertness in the circulation of the blood, an
unnaturally attenuated condition of the
physique. indicating that the life current
is deficient in nutrihve properties wan,
haggard look, inability to digest the food,
loss of appetite, sleep and strength, and a
sensation of unnatural languor. All these
may be regarded rs among the indicia OF
approaching disease, which will eventual
Iy attack the system and overwhelm it, if
it is not built up and fortified in advance.
lnvigorate, then, without loss of time,
making choice of the greatest vitalized
agent eXtant. Hostctter's Stomach Bitters,
an elixir which has given health and vigor
to myraids of the sick and debilitated
which is avouched by physicians and ana
lysts to be pure as well as effective, which
is immensely popular in this country, and
extensively used abroad, and which has
been for years past one OF the leading medi-
cinal staples of America.

A MIGHTY SEA WAVE.

On May 10th. 1877, Il tremendous wave
swept the Pacific ocean from Peru north
wards, westwardS, and southwards, trav-
cling Mt rate many times greater than
that Of the swiflest express train. For
reasons best known to themselves, writers
in the newspapers have, by almost COM
mon consent, called this phenomenon n
tidal wave. But the tides have nothing to
do with It. Unquestionably the wave re-
suited from the upheaval of the bed of the
ocean Ia some part of that angle of the
Pacific ocean which is bounded by the
shores OF Peru and Chill. This region
has long been celebrated for tremendous
submarine and subterranean upheavals,
The opinion Of geolOgists and geOgraph-
ers have been divided as to the real origin
of the disturbances by which at one time
the land, at other times the sea- and at yet
other times ;Ottener in fact than either of
the OtheTs) both land and sea have been
shaken as by some mighty imprisoned
giant, struggling, like Prometheus. to cast
from his limbs the mountain masses which
hold them down. Some consider that the
seat Of the VOlCanian forces lies deep be-
low that part of the chain OF the Andes
which lies at the apex Of the angle just
mentioned. and that the direction of their
action varies according to the varying
conditions under which the imprisoned
gases find vent. Others consider that there
are two If not several seats of the subtcr-
mnean activity. Yet Others suppose that
the real seat of disturbance lies beneath
the ocean itself, view which seems to
find support in several phenomena of re-
cent Peruvian earthquakes.

der his command, is doubtless nm eXag-
geration. That he will make considerable

George and Harry worked in the

them us they settled up OH Saturday

The Experience Of Il Lucky Man.

Mr.. Geo. r. Gornto, the lucky man
Of Princess Anne County, Va, who
drew the $4,000 prize in the Lo ulsi-
ana State Lottery, WAS heavily in
debt, with q mortgage OH his farm,
and things going behindhand with
him generally. He got hold of a copy
Of the advertisement of The Lottery.
He determined to make venture.
He had but s5.15 in the world. He
wrote to A. NJ. Dauphn, ?. 0. Box
692, New Orleans, and enclosed 52in
the letter. and was iuat ahapt,;o ;aEsiss
it off to the Post Office by boN.
when negro hand of his called on
him and demanded his wages, which
just amounted 10 50. He offered the
man tho 43 he had left, but this was
declined by the darkey, who threat
cne,i to leave his work just at q criti-
cal time unless he got the whole. He
took the letter, and the two dollars
out Of it, which, with the SO, he hand
ed the man.
Thus was he with butfiIteen cents
cash in the world; and while in this
melancholy frame OF mind, about an
hour aftcrward, negro man drove
up and bought loal of fodd ,r,
amounting to sl.90, not enough to
pay for the ticket, but with Ten cents
in his pocket he made up the amount,
and rewlote the letter and enclosed
81. The next thing that turnel up
from that 50 was the gratifying
intelligence that his ticket had drawn
a prize ofs30,0OO, more than enough
to alter his current Of i'll luck, EN-.

his farm well, and put him on his
