The Steamship Columbia.

A New York paper contains a very
interesting account of the visit of
inspection made on the 1st instant
to the magnificent new iron steam
ship Columbia, by upwards of three
thousand people, while lying n: her
dock in that city. She is pro-
nounced truly splendid specimen
of naval architecture, and was built as
are all vessels in this country of her
class, by John Roach e. Son, at their
yard in Chester, Pa. She is owned,
as is known by most of our readers
by the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton Company, and is designed for
the San Francisco and Portland
route, already supplied with some of
the best steamers afoat.
The new vessel is 1874 feet in
length over all, 3Sl feet beam and
% feet depth of hold. She is fitted
with q single pair of compound en-
gines, of 42l high pressure and SO
low-pressure cylinders, 81 stroke,
six cylindrical boilers, $50 square
feet of CRATE, ana an indicated horse
power of about 1900. The propel-
Ter, of the Hirsch pattern, is 16. 3
diameter, with pitch of 25.3. The
Columbia is provided with q great
many novel and important improve
ments, and ranks among the finest
vessels of her class ever built in the
United States; her register is over
5000 tons. Her interior fitting is
in admirable taste, artistic. and of
the most durable character, both for
passengers and freight traffic. One
evidence Of advanced ideas in her
fitting is found in the fact that she is
supplied with Edison's electric light,
ev Try state-room being furnished.
Electric calls, telephone, hot-air reg
listers in the state-rooms, electric
head and deck lights, are also
among the Improvements.
The reception referred to was d
real festival. Music, a grand cola,
ton AID genial hospitality in gen.
eral were the features of the occa.
sion. The interest in the literary
portion of the entertainment will be
enhanced when we state that Miss
Annie Pixley, ten years ago an
Olympia schoolgirl, was present
and contributed to the pleasures Of
the hour by the rendition of some
choice selections from " Mi'liss," the
great character under which she has
won such worldwide distinction.

Use of the Seed Drill.

Use of the Seed Drill.
The advice given in these col
umns about year ago with refer
ence to the use of the seed drill, in
sowing grain upon prairie lands, ap.
pears to have fallen like good seed
on fertile ground, if we may form an
opinion from apparent results. A
casual observation of the grain-fields
while passing through the country,
q few days ago, convinced us that
the suggestion has been very gener-
ally followed. We should Judge that
three-fourths of the wheat observed
along the route travelled had been
sown by the seed-drill, and in every
case, the new grain was looking re-
markably we'll and promising a large
yield. The conviction was based,
mainly, upon the great efficacy of
the drill in so covering the seed in
the burrows as to render it proof
against the drought of Summer. In
the use of the common harrow, it
too often happens that one tooth
of the implement uncovers what an
other has covered, thus leaving much
of the seed scantily protected from
the weather, and the inevitable con-
sequence is that its vitality is unable
to withstand the extremes of wet
and dry weather. The drill is of
more consequence in sowing Spring
than Winter wheat Grain sown
in the Fall has time to become well
rooted in the soil, even although it
be scantily covered with earth, and
by the time the drought approaches,
it has begun to draw sustenance
from a good depth below the surface.
where there is more OF less moisture
during the whole of the year.
Broadcast sowing does very we'll,
on the cleared lands of this country,
but this cannot be said of our prai-
ries. The judicious use of good
seed-drill will fully cover all ex-
perses incurred in its purchase, and
use in a single season, where large
acreage of grain is to be sown. We
feel safe in making the assertion
that the day is fast approaching
when we shall hear very little COM
plant about the failure of prairie
wheat crops.
The seance held by Mrs. Louie
NJ. Lowe, in Champion Hall, We'd
nesday evening, was one of the most
successful yet given in this place.
She prefaced the ballot-test by
reading an admirable essay on Spir-
itualism, which we shall endeavor to
lay before our readers. in our next
issue. A large number of ballots
were satisfactorily answered and
several names and messages ap-
peared upon the arms of the medium,
corresponding with those on the
ballots and in answer to questions
propounded after the seance had
commenced. 1t is hoped that such
a satisfactory beginning of the series
may result in thorough demonstra-
ton of what truth there is in the
wonderful phenomena. We may
say that during our visit 70 San
Francisco we were favored with
many opportunities for investiga.
ton by leading Spiritualists, and
Mrs. loves mediumistic powers
seem superior to them all. Her
next public seance will be held at the
same place, Thursday evening.

The Vacuum Cure.

A method for the alienation and
cure of disease has been brought to
our notice which, while not by any
meals new to medical scientists,
will be novel to many Of our readers.
1t is the invention of DR.. Gunod, OF
Paris, and may be said to be an elab-
Grafton (indeed, so far as We can
Judge, the pcrfection,) of the dry
cupping system. The apparatus
used consists of an air-pump, cups
of various shapes and sizes, with
india-rubber rims made to fit Oh the
various parts of the body, receivers
for the legs and arms and for the
whole body, and circular rubber
bandages, to form alright joints.
On the basis of the accepted theory
that imperfect circulation of the
blood is the cause of disease, this
method diverts the blood from one
part of the body to another, at will,
and, by putting, say, limb, into
the receiver and exhausting the dir
from around it, tine physical tissues
are enabled to expand much beyond
their normal condition, consequently
charging the capacity of the blood
vessels and causing an immediate
flow of blood from other parts, 80
much so that the seyerest headache,
&c. can be relieved in a few minutes.
Repeated and continuous applica-
tons have the effect of giving tone
to the system by removing obstruc-
tons where congestion exists and
drawing off and passing through the
system any intammatory matter.
The practice has been introduced into
many of the leading hospitals in
France and England, and its value
in therapeutics is acknowledged by
the highest medical authorities.
The exponent of this method in
our city is Mr.. Lowe, who resides
here for the present, and is an en-
thusiastic advocate OF hygienic treat
ment. He spent over ayear in visit
ing the hydropathic establishments OF
Great Britain and Germany and be-
lieves good Turkish bath superior
to whole drug store. He studied
healing by magnetism under the
celebrated DR.. Elliotson, at the Lon
don Mesmeric Infrmary, where that
was the means used to cure disease.
During a recent visit to London,
he was asked by the Principals of a
we'll known Hospital there, est.
Saviours," to accept a permanent
appointment on the medical staff
and operate on their patients, but
when they learned that he was a
Spiritualist and his wife medium,
they, being strictly orthodox, ma
turally said, "Can anything good
come out of Nazareth" and sent him
q politely-worded note saying that,
on further consideration, they
thought it better to defer final ar
rangements until his return from q
contemplated continental trip.

THE sEAHAM DISASTER.
Sixty-SIx Out Of Two Hundred
and Fifty Men Saved.

LONDON, Sept. 8.
An explosion occurred in the Sea-
ham colliery at 2:30 o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Stratton, resident
receiver, was soon on the spot, when
it was found that all three shafts of
the mine were blocked, the cages
being fastened in them. Stratton,
with rope around his body, pro-
ceeded to the main seam and heard
the men talking; he thought about
twenty of them. They are consid-
cred safe. There is no reason as yet
to believe that the pit is on fire, but
it is feared that the bulk of the men
have been killed. The number in
the pit is now stated to be $50, many
having remained outside over time
during the night, to attend the Sea-
ham flower show to-day.
Seventeen men who were in the
Seaham coal pit at the time of the
explosion are safe. There are 165
men unheard from and it is feared
they have perished.
An agent of the marquis of Lon.
donderry, owner of the Seaham
mine. furnishes the following: ''The
worst fears are entertained for about
12O men. The men known to be
alive have not yet been reached
owing to the damage to the shafts
by the explosion" @
