ship Resolute, by order of the
admiralty, recalls one Of the most
romantic incidents in the history
of Artic exploration. The mystery
in which Sir John Franklin's fate
was enshrouded and the hope OF
finding some survivors of the Ere
bus and Terror led TO the fitting
out Of no less than twenty-one ex'
peditions by the English govern
ment between the years ls4S and
lS59-in addition to the American
vessels that were despatched on
the same errand. OF these, the larg-
est and probably the most thorough
ly equipped was the fine feet OF
five vessels which sailed in April,
1852, under the command of Sir
Edward Belchers. Their names
were the Assistance, Resolute,
North Star, Pioneer and Intrepid,
the last two steamers. All Of these
vessels except the North Star were
abandoned in the spring of 1854,
and their crews returned TO Eng
land on board the North Star, the
Talbot and the Phoenix, ship
that had been sent out by Lady
Franklin. Nothing was afterward
heard of any of the abandoned
vessels except the Resolute. Alone,
amid the Artic ice, she rode out
the winter of '55, and drifted from
Wellington channel through Bar
row strait and Baffin's bay into
Davis strait. During the year
and half passed among the ice
she fioated 900 miles. On Sept
10th. 1855, ship was described in
Davis strait by an American whal-
ing schooner, commanded by Capt.
BuddiDgton. AS she appeared and
disappeared in the distance during
alternate days of storm and sun
shine it was difficult to decide
whether she was q real or a Goblin
craft. She was in the center of a
vast iloe which for long time rem
dered approach to her impossible I;
but held firmly in the grasp of the
ice she slowly journeyed southwark.
A party of intrepid sailors final
ly crossed the icy steppe to
the deserted ship, and to the
great surprise of the whaling cap
tain she proved to be the Resolute.
Huge barnacle-like masses of ice
were found clinging to the bulwarks
and rigging. She was saved. Man
ned by crew from the schooner,
Captain Buddington had the salts
faction of sailing her in safety to
New London harbor. Her sub
sequent purchase from the salvors
by the United States, her complete
reftment and, finally, her delivery
to her majesty's government at
Portsmouth form a charming epilo-
que to an event which brought i'm
perishable laurels to American
seamanship. From her timbers a
suit Of massive furniture is to be
fashioned for the White House
the sight of which may inspire
future congressman for amicable
act toward friendly governments.
1t mayremind them thatinternation-
al courtesy was not unknown in
eighteen fifty-odd.

THE JAP0NICA.

The pest, ana most perfect oil
Natures blessings fell upon GER
tain garden, which nestled in the
heart of beautiful country.
The sun sent its rays to warm
and brighten it, the rain fell in
plenteous showers TO nourish and
refresh it, the soft winds swept
over, and sang sweet songs through
the leaves and branches of the
trees, the gay hued birds car
rolled all day long, and fitted in and
out like animated rainbows, the
bees buzzed merrily over the sweet
honey-gardened flowers, and even
the fairies now and then found
their way thitber, and rested in the
heart of some favorite rose or lily.
But, as is often the sad truth,
there was a shadow over this fair
garden.
Pride and selfsbness found their
way into the beautiful midst.
Lilies grew clannish, and held
themselves daintily aloof; roses
b tossed their heads, and were filled
with haughtiness; tulips gathered
together and shook their petals in
derision; pinks stood away from
everybody else, and talked and
wondered, and violets dropped and
saddened.
Finally, it all ended in a great
indignation meeting, in which they
opened the vials of wrath they had
been secretly filing, and talked
themselves hoarse.
OF course you want to know what
it was all about, so / will tell you.
One day, and a very evil day
they all fancied it, the gardener had
brought big green tub contain
ing frail little plant, hardly worth
the name, and placed it in their
midst.
Now, about this sickly plant
there was nothing attractive, it
hung its head, it looked dusty and
thirsty, and withered, and when
hegardener brought water,it drank
it up so eagerly, that all the neigh
bors who were in sight were shock
ed beyond measure.
"a vulgar, coarse creature" said
the lily. lifting her stately head,
and quivering with injured pride.
81 cannot see why the gardener
should introduce such a person in
to our midst. For my part, l shall
keep my own side Of the garden"
"a low born sort Of person."
said the rose reddening with rage.
81, for one shall not countenance
any such q peighbor. II the gar
dener has nothing else better to do
than to try to introduce such peo-
pie among US, he had better take
charge Of q larger garden"
cit is shocking, indeed" said the
tulips, 10 q tremor Of excitement.
"The ugly green tub itself is ba6
enough, bat the horrible occupant
is worse"
/ haven't q doubt but the green
tub and its abused inhabitant would
have moved themselves far away
from these quarrelsome ladies, had
they possessed the power, but, IN
fortunately, they did not, but were
passive subjects to the gardeners
law, and must abide by him.
SO, day after day, they dwelt In
The midst of the beautiful paradise

cloth. The dried fruit exhibit is
small and not worthy Of the State.
One of the valuable points is a series
of over forty glass jars containing
specimens of soil from different locali-
ties. Prof. Pilgard, of the University,
is to analyze some of all these soil
specimens. If they are to be taken so
as to be fair samples of the region, this
system of exhibiting soils is to be
highly commended.
AS II whole this exhibit is calcu-
lated to impress thoughtful observer
with sense of the great natural capa-
bilities of Oregon, and its certain fu-
ture development. The States of the
Pacific coast are one in their interests -
should be one in their sympathies. In
some things our sister State can
doubtless beat us: in some other re-
spects we can doubtless beat her. We
are all engaged in the same work of
developing the whole coast.

Fourteen years ago, on July 30th,
the steamer Brother Jonathan met
her sad fate, off point St. George. 1t
seems like a long time ago, but, per-
haps to those seventeen saved, out of
the two hundred and sixty odd on
board, the terrible event recalls to
memory, as wildly as though it were
but yesterday. Mr.. c. w. Wood and
Capt. r. Hillyard, of whom we made
mention few days ago as being in
search of the wreck have found what
they suppose to be the illfated vessel.
Mr.. Green took them direct to the
rock where the steamer is supposed
to have struck, and in very short
time. the Crescent Couriersavs, within
hundred yards of the rock, south by
southeast (the direction the steamer
was coming), in twenty-five fathoms
of water an object which compares
in size as near as can be Judged, by
sounding in that depth of water, was
discovered, which is considered by
those present and others who are ac-
quainted with the locality, to be the
object sought for. These gentlemen
were out several times making ex-
aminations, and are so confident of
their success that they are going be-
low by the steamer to bring up yes
sci and all the necessaries for raising
the hidden treasures. May success
attend their efforts is the wish of all.

Whites y. 7. r. r. surveying
party got out of water in the Yakima
country last week. Their suiierings
were SO intense that they embarrassed
the animals and mounting them
started to find water. Before this,
however, two of the party had strag
gled behind and were left. Water
was found by some of the party lwho
started back to the wagons with a
supply for the rest. All were found
in the vicinity but young man
about y years of age, by the name
of 5. n. Smith, one of the stragglers.
Evidence of his having been to the
wagons was found, but no other trace
of him has been discovered, though
diligent search was made. 1t is
feared that he strayed off in the de-
lirium caused by thirst, and perished
in the extensive sage brush desert
forming that region. A large reward
has been promised the Indians if they
will find Smith. II'aiia Vala Watch

DEATH OLA PIoNER.-A correspon-
dent at Yoncalla sends the particulars
of the death of Charles Applegate,
who died at his residence, one mile
from Yoncalla, on Saturday, Aug.
9th, at 4 p. NJ. Mr.. Applegate was an
elder brother OF Hon. Jesse and Lin
sey Applegate. He crossed the
plains in 1913, and settled in Polk
county. where he lived a few year
from whence he removed at an cary
date to loncalla, then in Uumpqua,
now in Douglas county, where he re-
sided at the time of his death. He
was man of iron constitution, deter
mined will, true friend to the poor,
and died respected by all. His lead
ing trait of character was intense pat
riotism and love of country. He was
about a years old at the time of his
death. He raised large family of
children, and his sons are substantial
citizens of Douglas county.

NUMBER 2.

The political difficulties in Yazoo
county, Mississippi, have finally re-
suited in the shooting of DR.. Dixon,
who was boldly killed because he dare
to be a candidate for office in opposi-
ton to the regular democratic nomi-
nee. Thus is ''solid" democratic
party once more secured in Mssis-
sippi. No man dare be a candidate
against the bold and ready shot-guns
of regular candidates. The greatest
shame in this disgraceful state of af-
fairs is not that such things are COM
mitted in the south, but that northern
democrats, who are respectable and
honorable, will uphold the southern
ers in such dastardly deeds. Referr-
ing to the shooting of Dixon the N.
Y. Tribune says: Let it be remem-
bered that he was a confederate SOL
uler, q democrat ana eX-DulldOZer.
He has fallen by the same weapon
which he formerly used against the
republicans, and can have no claim
on northern sympathy like that of the
murdered Chisholm. 1t is useless
to deny that his death is due solely
to his political course. Had he con-
sented to be bulldozed into with
drawing from the field he would have
been alive to-day. His fate empha-
sizes more strongly than ever the fact
the soath is ruled by shotgun des-
potism which meets all opposition
with death.

Statistics of the eastern cattle drive
of 1879 are furnished by the Omaha
Jouraal Of Commerce, which puts the
Texas and Southwestern contribution
at $4,000 head and the Montana and
Oregon quota at 100000. Kansas
was formerly the northern limit of
the Texas drive, and this gave to
Kansas City considerable advantage
as a market, but the proportion of
the stock remaining in Kansas is
yearly decreasing, while that of Ne
braska and Wyoming is annually in
creasing. At Ogalalla, on the
Union Pacific, is now found the great
cattle rendezvous which formerly
ended at Abilene, on the Kansas Pa
ciifc. The Union Pacific will soon
become the greatest stock thorough
fare in the world. though the North
ern Pacific will ultimately rival it.
