The nominal period of England's
elective house is seven years. The Lon
don Spe otdtor advocates change so as
to have, instead, four years parlia
much stronger while it lasted, and would
be less tempted than it now is to enter
on grand and ambiguous specula-
tive policies without sounding the nation
to know whether such policies would be
approved or disapproved by it. The
American House is renewed once in two
years; the German reichstag, the Prus-
sian and the Hungarian diets once in
three; the French chamber once in four;
and the Italian chamber once in i've
years.

The Italia Agricola, writing on the
effect of thunderstorms ON milk, states
that it is generally accepted belief that
it is the lightning and electrical phe-
nomena that accompany thunderstorm
which cause the spontaneous coagulation
of milk. DIR. Malhoern wished to test
the idea, and for the purpose he filed
q cylinder with fresh skinned milk,
introduced into the same hundred cubic
centimeters of pure oxygen, and then
allowed electrical sparks to pass into the
apparatus for the space of ten minutes,
by means of the Ruhmkorff machine.
The milk quickly coagulated, clearly
proving that an acid reaction had taken
place, and after twenty minutes firm
cheese was produced.

Some of Japan's tea plants are $50
years old, and some plantations produce
over 50, 600 worth per acre. A few choice
leaves, of which small quantity is pro-
duced, sell at home as high as eight dol
lars per pound. Government taxes in
japan are now levied at the rate of two
and one-half per cent; while formerly
they have, at times, been as high as
from fifty to seventy per cent. The taxes
are fixed for six years in advance, so that
the people can known just how much
money they will have to raise.

Within the last ten years Colorado has
increased her flock of sheep from 20, 900
head to over 5000, 900 head. This not
%ithstanding the effort to prevent the
introduction of sheep by the cattle in
terest. AS with cattle, the means used
are very simple. The sheep are herded
in focks of 1000 TO 2, 500 on the range by
day, and corraled at night. Mexican
sheep are worked in still greater f1ocks,
even up to 5000. The best Aockmasters,
however, consider gangs of sheep over
], 800 to 1900 head as not working salts
factorily.

TIE LOG SEIZURE. - Last week
we had an item tn the effect that the
saw logs in Ebey Slough, tributary
of the Snohomish river, had all been
seized by an officer of the law, on
the charge that they were cut upon
government land. A few days ago
we obtained the following reliable
information concerning the matter,
from a gentleman just from Snoho-
mish county: The logs seized by
Col. Prosssr, special agent of the
Treasury Department, are estimated
to contain about 100000 feet of
lumber. There is no question but
that nearly two.thirds of these logs
were cut upon land the title to which
is still in the government. In order
that the BONA FIDE owners of logs
in the slough may run them down
into salt water, and prepare them for
being towed, Col. Prosser recently
released the entire lot; but the men
against whom there is evidence show.
ing that they are guilty of the Of
lenst charged, may expect to have
their logs again seized as soon as
they are taken out OF the slough.
The penalty attached to a violation
of tho law under which the seizure
was made is the cuniscation Of the
property and civil prosecution for
damages, by the government. AS
all these logs we're cut prior to Au'
gust, 1873, no criminal proceedings
can be instituted against the offend
ers. The logging industry, it may
he said, was never in such depress-
ed condition on the Snohomish river
AS it is at present. 1t is difficult to
sell the material at any price; and,
as consequence, many OF the camps
have been "shut down."

The editor of the P. G. "Advo.
cate" "of Portland, Ogn., and Rev.
J. A. Cruzan have both subjected
themselves to the malignant slurs of
the Democratic press of Oregon, by
daring to be firm and consistent pa
trots. Bro. Acton's editorial, de-
clining to preach a sermon commem.
orative Of decoration day, is one of
the keenest articles we have ever
read. 1t goes right to the heart and
foundation of the subject in a way
that is convincing and unanswerable.

The editor Of the Unitarian sad.

to increase the number of infdels in
the world. 1t is perhaps we'll that
we are not compelled to cut our
cloth by Bro. Utter's pattern. If we
tried to explain away or reject por.
tions of the Bible and otherwise su.
gar.cost our creed and teachings, so
as to hatter men into believing that
they are sure of future happiness
whether they are moral here or not,
we might accomplish the feat of es.
Gaping the hatred and opposition Of
in6dels. At least we might be neu.
tral enough to accomplish nothing,
practically, in the way Of reformatory
effort. As it is we do not increase,
but merely aid in the discovery of,
in6delity.

THE political star Of Hon. John
Sherman is in the ascendant, now
that the Hayes administration is
uniting the republican party and
coming into more popular favor with
the stalwarts. Though he was not
extensively talked of as a prssiden-
tial candidate until quite recently,
his chances now are second only to
those of that universal favorite, Hon
Jas. y. Blaine.

the LAST ARGUMENT.

we nOtlCo, Will u IeeIhS "PP'N
ciativs Of the ludicrous, the frantic
efforts of some of our representative
democratic newspapers to justify the
actions of their leaders in Congress
by attempting to show that some OF
the republican members, in former
years, voted against the very meas
ures which they are now trying to
maintain. This, to say the least, is
questionable logic. The argument
that because some members of each
party may have erred in the past
therefore neither party must attempt
10 do right NOW, is flimsy indeed. If
we postpone improvements until
some immaculate party arises to car
ry them out, there will be no need
of reformatory effort until the dawn
of the millennium.
We are not among those unreas
enable fanatics who claim all the 20
litical purity in the country for ETH
ER party, but we DO insist on treat
ing every question at issue in fair
manner, upon the real merits Of the
case. If it is right to tack irrelevan,
measures on appropriation bills, then
tolerate such actions, but If this
course is wrong, then put it down a.
you would any other thing worthy OF
defeat--no matter what polisical par
ty suffers by the result.
One of the great obstacles to an,
specific improvement in political af
fairs is the average politicians alb
surd fear Of ''stultifying his record"
A man who is truly ambitious to
serve his country we'll will not per
petually look back to see if any OF
his past acts can be quoted agains'
him in his present course. That kind
of consistency which binds one to
follow ones own bad example is
hardly worthy to be called jewel.
But has any party ever before gone
so far as to boldly threaten a stop
page OF legitimate governmental ex
penses in the event of refusal, on
the part of the Executive, to surren
der constitutional privileges?
The real facts of the case are that
the democratic leaders keenly real.
ize the loss of ground which the ac
tion Of democratic congressman is
causing for their party, and they now
catch at every straw in the way of
argument to justify their unworthy
co.workers. But this attempted rev
olutionary legislation will work out
immeasurable good to the country.
1t is teaching the nation that the
democratic party is not to be trusted
with the reins Of government, that
the old spirit of the rebellion is re-
asserting itself under their suprema.
cy, and that their course tends to.
ward dissolution of states and the
iIreMievable wreck OF the nation.
1t is making partizan republicans of
hundreds who had become so liberal
and conservative that they were
practically neutral. 1t is driving
out Of the party those democrats
whose better judgment reprobates
such wholesale trampling under foot
of the constitution and principles of
this noble government of ours. 1t
will insure the election of a republi,
eau president, and large republican
gains, next year.

BOISE CRY, September ~.
The Boise Statesman received seVefai

tent citizens in wei-er and Indian Valleys
stating that the Indians had moved from
these valleys last Sunday night, stealing
seventeen head OF horses from Ed Jewti IN
the UPPER valley a lot from Joseph a
ger in the middle valley and some from ths
Wiikerson brothers in all, over sixty head
Several bands are gone that cannot be
found and they were extremely bold, g"lng
all through the valleys and near tie houses,
and have shot many horses that they dil
not take with arrows. some Of which Will
die. The citizens are generally alarmed
for their personal safety. Ten men have
gone in pursuit, aud report that the lndl-
n have so many horses that they make a
big trail. and are taking the same route
they did after they made the raid last fall,
at the time Bill Munday's party followed
them, and we're killed near the Payette falls.
The party in pursuit have sent back for
provisions. The citizens who write these
letters ask for troops to be sent TO their
settlement. They fear the Indians VIII
burn all the property in the valleys and
murder the citizens. 1t is quite probable
they may do so. as this is the coveted coun-
try Of the renegade Weisers.

Most men who fail in life do so owing to
an in6rmity Of purpose. They make good
resolutions. bat lack the courage or perse-
versnce to carry out their convictions. One
would like to be q great lawyer, but he
cannot undergo the hard training and the
life Of self-denial that is necessary to such
distinction. Another aspires to be a sue
cessful merchant, but is unwilling to de-
prive himself OF Injuries or to live accord
ing 70 his means and thus lay the founda-
ton u future afiuance in methodical
habits Of thrift and economy. The me
chapic, who signs to better his condition,
il disinclined to the scientific studies that
inform and enlarge the mind. There are
men and m Of literary genius, who
accomplish nothing OF permanent value
because they engage in too many under
takings At the same time, that divide their
attention and prevents them from concen-
tratiDg their powers on n subject. There
are Others who possess real talent, who
seem to have no power Of doing anything
but as the suggestion and under the en-
couragement Of others. 1t is a strange
fact that the most cebsorious Of s~atirists
have been the most sensitive of men, N
that some Of the most successful Of writers
in every department Of literature would
have shrunk from submitting their writ
ings 10 the public eye but for the stimulat-
ing c~ommendation of friends. There are,
TO be sure, men Of such iron temper that
they are Indifferent TO public opinion, and,
single-handed, will brave the most formid-
able opposition, but individuals Of this
sort are rare. In general, both men and
women succeed best when they have the
cooperation Of sympathizing friends.
The voyage OF life is Ike a voyage at sea.
The objective point must always be kept
in mind. The mariner who leaves America
