Sunday Excursions and the Mails.
Hon. Thos. II Bl ,nt',
Walla Walla, w. II.

The authorities of Baltimore have been
trying to break up Sunday excursions, but
were defeated by steamers applying to the
postofllce for mails on that day. An ap-
peal was made to Washington and the
practice was stopped by the following let
ter from the Postmaster General:
''It Is customary for this department to
authorize more frequent service than is
required Of contractor for carrying the
mail, when he offers to perform it with
out additional charge, but in the present
case it is well understood and admitted
that the sole reason that the contractor
desires to carry Sunday mail to Talches.
ter Beach is that he may be thus enabled
to violate law Of the state of Maryland.
which forblds Sunday excursions. but
cannot interfere with carrying U. >.
mails. This department does not pro-
poseto alIowits authority to he used in
the ease rs shield tor the violation of
local law"

A new TACKLE BLOCK.

This block is designed for stevodores,
and Others who require block using
single line, which must be capable Of be-
ing run with great rapidity, Of sustain
ing heavy bodies with as little friction as
possible, and at the same time be light
enough to admit OF being conveniently
handled, and above all to be durable.
This block is the invention Of Capt. j.
w. Nocross, OF Boston, and consists OF an
iron or steel frame or shell, made in such
form as to give the great at resistance to
strain and accidental blows. A sheave
made of the same material, with two sets
of spokes, supporting a rim forming
deep score in which the rope runs without
chatting. The axle Of this sheave is made
fast in the hub so that it reyolves with it
instead of the sheave turning loose on the
axle or pin as in blocks heretofore in use
On the side of the frame are two wheels,
suspended, one or either side, whose in
ner rim forms flange on which the axis
of the main wheel rests and revolves.
These outer wheels :ro so proportioned
to the diameter Of the axis Of the main
shcave that it requires 20 revolutions ct the
main sheave to cause tie friction wheels to
revolve once. Thus it will be seen that
while the rope may be drawn on the
main sheave with great rapidity and un-
der heavy strain the friction OH the axle
is only that of two surfaces rolling in the
same direction with the same velocity,
while the motion OF the friction wheels on
their respective aylcs Is slow. and can
never produce heating or abrasion of the
same. A block of the above pattern
which is kdown as the "Providence Tool
Company's Power Hosting Block" hav-
ing q sheave ten inches in diameter carry
AZ inch rope requires 30 feet hoist to
cause the friction wheel, to make one
revolution. a block of this size weighs
about 4S lbs. and is capable of sustaining IL
weight of eight tons, while two to three
tons are much as it is practicable TO
raise with the ordinary hosting engines
used by stcvodores when dicharging YES
sells.
Blocks having sheaves l2in.. and l5in.
In diameter are also manufactured, also
one with an Snch sheave, designed MOI
particularly tor use in localities where
horses are used in place of steam power.
The firm also manufacture full line OF
blocks for use on cat rugged boats, yachts,
and the largest sailing vessels, which,
although entirely OF metal, are lighter,
stronger, easier worked and far more
durable than any heretofore produced.
The requirements of the lumberman and
and farmer are more fully met by these
goods than by the old style blocks as they
are more likely to be inconvenienced by
breakage when at distance from
where repairs can be obtained. Blocks
of this pattern can be shown that after 5
years constan. use have not had and do
not need repairs.
These hosting blocks are now in use by
the leading Stevodores of Boston aud New
York. Portland and Bangor, Cleveland
and Chicago, and are, this season. com.
ing into use in San Francisco, and are
fully guaranteed by the Manufacturers to
be all that they represent.

VICTORIA, b. c., Sept. 20, 1879.
Is JUSTICE BLIND

Such is supposed to be the case in theory,
but In its practical application sometimes
ones faith in the correctness of the theory
receives rude shock. In the Police court
OH Thursday, the 18th inst, u sailor ap-
pvared in the dock, charged by the Cap
tain of a ship in the harbor, with having
used improper language to him, and
threatened to punch the said captains
lead. Although he did not strike the cap
tain. or commit any other avert act OF
violence beyond what is above stated, he
was sentenced by the Magistrate to pay
Il fine OF $40 or, in default suffer two
months imprisonment. So much tor the
sailor.
On the same day, Mr.. Thos Chadwick,
II saloon keeper, was charged by man
named Neil with having assaulted him on
board the steamer Wilson G. Hunt, dur
ing the recent excursion trip to Seattle, by
striking him between the eyes with his
fist. and which the man testified ulti-
mately led to subsequent assaults by other
parties, which ended in the complainant
being tcartully beaten and disiIgur l,..as
was very palpable to every one who saw
him in court. Mr.. Chadwick did not deny
the charge, but entered plea Of irtstitica-
,ion tor taking the law into his own hands
For this offence Mr.. Cadwick was fined
s. and the costs, or just one-fourth the
fine imposed upon the poor sailor, whose
only offence was impudence to his supe-
rior officer.
DO the above cited cases look as If the
scales of Justice were held with even
hands. There are not few who will an
swer No to this question. 1t looks very
much as it popular saloon keepers enjoyed
certain rights to punch peoples heads that
poor and triendlaSs sailolS must lay no
claim to under severe penalties by fine or
imprisonment.

for Mr.. Chadwick's especial benefit, and

himself to rest and worship; and it is still
more to be deplored that from some at

the police court bench, sentiments should
he uttered rather commendatory than
otherwise ofthose violations OF Coils laws,
with their concomitant scenes of drunken

Pastures.

Farmers in Chesire, England" says the
Maine Farmer, "uSe ground bone as top
dressing for their old pastures, method that
yields increase in feeding stock from 30 to
so per cent. Quite number of farmers in
Cumberland county tried it last year on
small scale with satisfactory results, and
will use larger quantities this year. The
ground bone not only gives the pasture
fresh start, but it is dressing that will last
quite a number of years, besides the proper
ties of the bone entering the grass thus gives
the cattle in the natural way what they very
much need, saving the need of bone meal in
their feed. What can be done in Cheshire
can be done in Maine, as our soil for pas
lures is second to none in the world; 500 to
1000 pounds per acre would be good and
cheap dressing, as it would last for number
of years. Sow the bone broadcast as the
young grass starts in the spring. AS to hen
manure farmers here have used it with good
success by composing with ground bone,
ashes or lime. Cover with loan or muck
two or three weeks, until it heats, then work
it over and mix it we'll with loan or muck to
reduce to the proper strength and apply in
the hills; it is one of our best fertilizers"

The Pocasset Crime.

A great deal has been said and written
lately about the likeness between the Pocas-
set crime and Abraham's offering up of
Isaac, and many persons claim that Freeman
should not be punished for doing what God
commanded another man to do centuries ago.
We fail to see the relevancy Of such argu-
ments. Oae of the earliest commands to the
human race was against the taking of human
life and shedding mans blood. God, who
made such law and gave such command,
would not violate either Himself nor encour
age or command any one else to do 30. And
any one standing in the same relation Of
faith and affection to the Almighty as Abra
ham stood would have had no more difficulty
than he in believing and acting as he did
Hence Paul referring to the matter, says the
offering of Isaac and his delverance were
fisurative of another Offering and resurrec
tion-namely, of Jesus Christ. But there If
nothing to be prefgured by the murder o.
Freeman's child, and all arguments based or
such an assumption are groundless. Th'
most charitable view to take of it is to sup
pose that the man was insane. 1t will no
answer to argue as some writers have argued
that this is the legitimate result of reading
the Bible without the aid of the Church o
the parson. Thousands have read the sam
story probably the same day that Freemsl
read it, but he only of them all found in it
justification for the crime of life taking.

The Sea Serpent on Lake ChampIain.

Mr.. Holmes Record, a farmer living on
the shore of Maqusm Bay, says the st. Al
bans Advertiser, saw on Saturday last what
he believes to have been genuine sea SER
pent. He was at work near the shore with
his hired man, when his attention was called
to the water of the bay by sound resemb
ling the discharge of gun. Upon looking
out on the bay, both men saw an animal
moving in northerly direction, with head
shaped like a serpent, only much larger
Apparently the greater part of the monster
was under water, but about fifteen feet could
be distinctly seen above the surface. The
body was jointed, and appeared like Jumps
connected with each other by narrower Sec
tiOns. After viewing it for some time with
the naked eye, he sent to his house for spy
glass, but it was too small and the air too
hszy to be of much value. They saw the
animal distinctly for about two hours, during
which time he appeared to be about sixty
rods distant, aud moved slowly, and at short
intervals he made a sound like the concus-
sion of powder, followed by loud roar. The
wind finally changed to the north, and the
monster raised his head several feet out of
the water, and, turning round, went south
with greater speed, and soon disappeared
from sight. Both men watched him while he
was visible, and could distictly see the out
line of his shape and form. He splashed the
water as he moved along, the prOpelling mo-
ton being apparently concentrated in his
head and tail. He moved in undulstions
both up and down and from side to side.

LITTLE ALIrES PRAYER.

"I don't want to say my prayer, said

Mrs. NJ sighed, aud scarcely knew
what it was best TO do with her little daugh-
ter, whom she had given to God as soon as

Alice laughed, and kissed her mother on

she called 'a French kiss" Then she went

and suntie whispered,

Alice dearly loved TO be whispered to;

"No," said auntie; "mamma will be

Large Farming Prscarious Business.

The following figures are given by San
Francisco correspondent of Philadelphia
paper, as evidence that farming on gigan-
tic scale is profitable neither to the country
nor to the farmer. He says: "The largest
wheat producer in California, or in The world,
is DR.. Fl. J. Glenn. He was formerly from
Monroe county, Missouri. He is man of
great enterprise and energy. His rancho
lies in Colusa county, and cnmprif es $4,000
acres, nearly ell srsble land, he has this
year $4,000 acres in wheat. which. at low
calculation, will produce 900, 1000 bushels.
His wheat will sell for IS cents per bushel,
or $765,000 DR.. Glenn has been farming
ten years, and one would suppose he ought
20 have a handsome sum to his credit in the
bank; but what with failure of crops
which occurs two years in every five--and
the enormous interest he pays on his loans,
he is said to owe round million of dollars.
Last year his credit wss bad, as he had no
crop. Now, with his splendid crop in pros

Piles of st. Paul, who, ten years ago, were

raising as much as 400, 600 bushels in sim

wheat raiser is D. M. Reavis, whose land
lies on the border of Coluss and Butte coun-
ties. He is also from Monroe county, Mis-
souri,, and has an unpretending little estate
Of $4,000 acres, $4,000 of which are in
wheat, which he thinks will average this year
80 bushels, or $1,000 bushels. He also is
hard pressed, and am told is paying 9per
cent on couple of hundred thousand dollars
of borrowed money. If farmers raising hall
a million to a million bushels of wheat can
not get out of debt, it might be we'll to in
quire what is the use of having 80 much
land? The truth is that from the frequent
failure of crops in California and the waste
that attends on large operations of that kind
farming on gigantic scale in this portion O
the Pacific coast must be considered failure
North of this, in Oregon and Washington
Territories, there is no failure of the harvest

Loving and Trusting.

Give Jesus your heart! What does that
mean /? 1t means, love Him. Why should
you love Him? Because He has done SO
much for you. What has He done? He
died that sinners might be saved. How are
sinners saved? By trusting in the merits o.
Jesus death. What 20 you understand by
thst2 Relying upon His death as suth-
eient punishment for your sins. If He has
been punished for your sins, there is no ne
cessity for your being punished for them too.
So, you see, if you trust in Jesus, God will
forgive you and save your; and if He for
gives and saves you for Jesus sake, you
ought to love Jesus. Then give Him your
