THE NORTHEgE PACIFIC.

The Northern Pacific Railroad
steadily advancing. II now operates
4 completed road from Duluth, on
Lake Superior, to Bismarck, q dis
tance OF 449 miles, and also a branch
in Warrington Territory, from
kalama, on the Coium bia river, to
Tacoma, on Puget Sound, making u
otal Ieugth of line now i'll operations
of $50 rsai.es. b. the line from
Brainerd down the Mississippi river
to St. PaRl, p distance OF SO miles,
End which it has leased for term
of ninetynine yeSrs, it has a con
nee ton with that stream and its
tributaries, Duluth harbnr is open
about eight months in the year
During this time it is scene OF
great activity. The shores Of Lake
Superior are thNs far thinly settled
but there is no doubt that its
fisheries and copper mines will event
uaiIy attract considerable popula-
ton. The Northern Plcifc road
could not be successful, it was said
because of the high northern latitude
IN which it is located, and of the
desert regions it traverses. In
certain portions of The territory it
crosses the soil is light and com
paratively sterile. Elsewhere it
runs through some of the finest
pastoral lands and grain gro wing
districts in the country.
In the Red river valley is grown
the best wheat, and there are
pastured, winter and summer, tie
most vigorous and healthy herds OF
cattle. West of the Rocky mount
aims the Northern Pacific passes over
magnificent region of flood and
fell, of river and prairie, abounding
in fishy lakes and streams, in forests
of useful timber, aud in virgin soil
of extraordinary fertility. At the
Pacific end of the road two hundred
miles have been put under con-
tract, from the head of the naviga-
ton on Columbia river northeast to
Lake Pend dOrellle. The immense
emigration pouring into Minnesota,
Dskota, and other extreme North
western States and Territories is
chiefly due to the facilities of travel
and transportation afforded by the
Northern Pacific. 1t will be the
means of filling up those regions
with troops Of hardy emigrants from
England and the northern countries
OF Europe. Whatever may be the
destiny of competing transconiin-
entail lines to the southw ard, 1t is
evident that the Northern Pacific
has great future before it, and that
it will be profitable and paying
road to the stockholders, and great
benefit 10 the populations along its
course Phila Press.

CALIFoRNIA. = California con-
tinua!ly develops new wonders.
The latest discovery there is a
natural washing machine, which, as
may be supposed, has been turned
TO tull advantage. A boiling spriug
has been discovered in Tulare
County, between Palvadere and
Los Gatos Creek. An enterprising
person has applied for the water
right, and has made q clothes
wringer to be worked by a water
wheel at one side Of the spring
where it boiis over into another
clear cold spring in which the pro-
pretor has placed sack of indigo.
The people in the neighborhood go
to the spring to do their washing.
The soiied clothes are thrown into
the water, which has a whirling
motion. They are drawn out OF
sight. In few minutes they rise
to the surface, float to the wringer,
and are run through it into the
second spring, where they are
rinsed by passing through another
wringer. This natural laundry doe
it's work in about forty minutes, and
one Of its special benefits is that any
one can do the washing, thus spar
ing woman the drudgery of day
over the wash tub. 1t is particular
ly appreciated by women, therefore,
and number of families in the
country intend to take up their
abode near the spring, in order to
facilitate labor. Californians daily
expect to discover a cave in the
vicinity, where, by some arrange
ment OF partial nature, hot smooth
stones roll up and down over a
smooth rocky bed, SO as to serve as
fiat-irons for the doing up of the
washed clothes.

THF Washington Republic CON
tains the following notice OF
WiSconsin's worthy representative e
Of the 8th district:
wisconsin has big gun or two
in the Senate and several big guns
in the House. The Honorable
Thaddeus G. Pound of hat state,
''floorcd'' a number of Democrats
quite handsomely on parliamentary
points or in debate, and is known
throughout the country as being the
skirmish line of the grand republican
army. Gov. Pound had much Par.
lin mentaLY experience before coming
to Congress, having deem member
of the Legislature four or five times
and Lieutenant-GovernOr and Pres
ident OF the Senate once or twice
He thus gained a knowledge and
skill in forensic exercises which
have been of the greatest use to him
here, enabling him to cope with the
old members here in debate, and
particularly in what is called s"run-
ming fight" He knows the rules as
well as the next man, which is a
mighty strong point with any mem
ber."

SAN Francisco THE CENTRE.

SAN Francisco THE CENTRE
Webster's eloquent description OF
the British empire is familiar TO
every reader, but we doubt whether
it is generally realized that We, too,
have = dominion on which the sun
never sets. 1T will hardly be beliv-
ed, perhaps, without an examination
of the maps, that San Francisco,
instead of being at the western
limit of this dominion, is only about
midway between our eastern and
western limits ; and yet it is a fact
that the farthcst Aleutian Isle ac-
quired in our purchase of Russian
America is as far TO the west of that
city as Eastport, Me, is to the east
of it. Between the northwestern
limit of Washington Territory and
the southeastern limit of Alaska
there is a break Of few degrees,
but with the slightest deduction,
our territory extends through 1877
degrees Of longitude, or seventeen
degrees more than half way round
the globe. Hence, when the sun is
giving its goodnight kiss to our
westernmost isle on the confines of
Behring's sea, it is already flooding
the fields and forests of Maine with
its morning light, and in the eastern
part OF that State ls more than an
hour high. At the very moment
when the AIeutiaa fisherman, warn
ed by the approaching shades OF
night, is pulling his canoe toward
the shore, the wood-chopper OF
Maine is beginning to wake the
forest echoes with the stirring music
Of his axe.

Why the Pyramid was Built.
IN ew York Tines

1t was built to supply the Egyp-
tian public with the means of slid
ing down hill in country where
snow never falls. The Egyptian
who paid the requisite entrance
fee was allowed to ascend the pyra-
mid by the staircase and then to
slide down the polished granite
side, plunging PLEASANTLY and
harmlessIy into the sand at the
foot. No sleds or OF her apparatus
were needed. The Egyptian sim
ply sat down on the warm ami
comfortable granite, and slid down
without any unpleas friction.
Doubtless this was fashionable
amusement for both sexes aud all
ages, aud the builders and lessees
of the Great Pyramid Sliding Ba k
must have made a good thing out
of it. The interior of the pyramid,
as its plan proves, was q combined
ice house and beer.cellar. The ice
man bad merely to dump his
blocks of ice in the first passage,
and they slid downward into the
chamber intended for their recep-
ton. The second chamber was a
vast beer reservoir, kept cool by
its proximity to the ice-chamber
Tubes led from it to the bar, which,
of course, existed outside of the
pyramid, and thus ice cold beer
was supplied to the Egyptian pub
lie during the hottest weather, and,
let us hope, at popular prices.

Out Of Season.

An amusing story has been hav-
ing run through the Boston
Clubs, ut the expense of self i'm
portant, some what portly man
about town, who, on returning
from Paris, some time ago, was
asked how he liked French cook
ing.
"Jollyv was his reply. "It is
wonderful how they transform eve
rythIng. Boston could learn some-
thing in the way of cooking greens,
for instance. Why, should judge,
from one little experience of mine.
that French cook could make you
think dish of dandellons was
calves'-head jelly. They had IA
kind of grass-patty de foy grass, L
believe they call it-with nothing
to indicate it's real nature. 1t
came high as / was there in the
winter, you know, when it was out
Of season, or else should have had
my fill of it,"
1t is hoped that his next visit to
Paris will be- made in O season
whose greenness will shame his
own, when the gardens will be
overrun with tender growths OF
pate de foie gras!

There il no nobier office in the
world than to nobly, honestly, pure
ly entertain the people. To be
amused is to take the bitter drop OF
gall out of the things of life.
Amusement takes away the sting
of care and furnishes a medicine
for the heart. 1t cures the miasma
Of the mind, and the art of anus
ing men, women and children in
uocently is thing of which the
proudest might be proud. The EN-
tertainment which can win the
elevated and the noble to smile de-
serves the respect and gratitude OF
every person; to make people
laugh; to carry them out of them
selves and out of the hard world
about them, is a task for the noblest
intellect. Such things are accom-
plished every Sunday at Washing
ton Gardens. Be sure and come.
