WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
Northern Pacific Railroad = Favorable
Outlook.

NEw TACOMA, July 16th.-The Northern
Pacific engineer party, in charge of j. Tilton,
special engineer to examine Natchez Pass OF
the Cascade Mountains, has just been heard
from. The summit was crossed about forty
miles southeast of Wilkeson, at an altitude Of
less than 1880 feet. The ascent from this
side is without difficulty until reaching the
backbone near the summit, where one-mile
tunnel will avoid 800 feet of elevation. The
descent into Yakima valley is much superior
to the approach from the west. The report
is favorable beyond expectation. The loca-
ton is most fortunate, as it secures direct
line on the eastern side OF the Cascades from
Ainsworth to the Sound The snow problem
is also said to be solved. In this pass little
OF no shedding will be required

deceased was an Irishman, aged 10 years. He
was without family or relatives in this State.
A verdict of suicide was rendered.

The Carson New appeal furnishes the
following information A fisherman from
Empire writes us to make inquiries regard
ing the best way to plant trout. Trout, to
grow well, should be planted with the tails
down, and pretty well watered to insure
success. Plant in soft moist soil, the
moister the better, and see that the worms
don't get to them. This is about all the
information we can give until our regular
agricultural editor gets back from the
springs.

Sandy Young, a pioneer of Tehama and
Butte counties, says the Red Bluff Peoples
Cause, and who was for years terror to
the Indians in this vicinity, has not been
seen or heard of since the 10Th Of June.
He had small farm on Klamath river
which he left on the date referred to, and
all search for him has been unavaihug. He
was associated with Hi Good in leading the
war of determination against the various
tribes of Indians infesting the foothills of
the Sierra up to about the year 1870, when
Good was murdered by a domestic Indian.
Jack Drennon and other associates of Good
and Young completed the conquest already
nearly ended, by closing the career of the
remnant Of the tribe.

The Great Yacht Race-Iively Betting.
SAN FRANcIsco, July 16th.-rhe race to
come off tomorrow between the crack yachts
Con O'Connor and Consuelo creates much in
terest in yachting and general betting circles.
The two vessels had race last summer
which was contested almost inch by inch, the
O'Connor gradually drawing away from her
antagonist on each course, and finally win
ming by few minutes only 1t was then
claimed by the hackers of the Consuelo that
she labored under a disadvantage from hav-
ing removed some of her ballast, and added
one cloth to her mainsail, and that otherwise
she would have won the race, as she had at
that time won every other race in which she
had entered. The contest is for 81, 600 side,
and outside betting has been very heavy.
Tonight the O'Connor is ahead in the pools,
which are very lively, and thousands of dol
lars viii change hands on the result. Both
yachts are in Grst-class condition, and will be
handled by experts who win get out OF them
the best work of which they are capable.

SALT.
Temple Ba'.

Nothing that we eat is more valuable
than salt, nor could anything except
bread be more missed Animals, m fact,
will travel distances and brave great
dangers to obtain it, On the coast OF
Sierra Leone brothers will sell their Sis
ters, husbands their wives, and parents
their children, for salt. In the district
Of Accra, on the Gold coast Of Africa,
handful OF salt is the most valuable
thing upon earth after gold, and will
purchase q slave or two. Salt with the
Bambaras is such luxury that to say OF
a man, :" He flayors his food with salt,
is 10 imply that he is rich. No stronger
mark of affection can be shown in Mus
coyy than the sending Of salt from the
tables Of the rich to their poorer friends.
Splitting salt was held to be an unlucky
omen by the Romans, and the supersti-
ton has descended to ourselves. Leon
ardo di Vinci availed himself Of this
tradition in his famous picture Of the
"Lord's Supper" to indicate Judas
Iscariot by the salt-cellar knocked ovel
accidentally by his arm. When we SAY
of shiftless fellow that che does no
earn his salt" we unconsciously allud'
to an ancient custom among the Ro
mans. Among them man was said +
be in possession of "salary' who hat
his "salarium," his allowance of sal
money, or Of salt, wherewith to sayo
the food by which he lived. Thu
salary comes from salt-and in this yie'
Of the word how many there are who d
not earn their salt"

coRpER,s rNSANrrY.

Three years after his fathers death
Cowpcr removed from the Middle to the
Inner Temple, where he spent his time,
not in the grave study Of law, but in -
constant circle of diversions. They
were chiefly Of literary character. He
wrote essays for weekly review called
the Comoisseur, and he produced
several half penny ballads, two or three
of which had the honor to become
popular He also translated some
books Of Voltaire's Henriade. This
kind Of occupation is, as a rule, more
pleasant than profitable, and Cowper
was just beginning TO feel the want Of
money when he was offered lucrative
appointment to clerkship in the House
of Lords. The offer, for the moment,
filled him with joy. But he soon be-
came molbidly nervous at having to ap-
pear at the bar Of the House Of Lords
to prove his qualifications for the post.
He tried to escape, by suicide, the dread
trial, but he happily failed in the at
tempt to destroy himself. His madness
now took morbid, religious form, and
his friends, Judging that there was no
other resource left to them, placed him
il lunatic asylum. Here he slowly
recovered from Ills malady, and in June,
1765, he removed to quiet lodging At
Huntingdon, in order to be near his
brother, fellow Of Corpus Christi Col.
lege, Cambridge.
Cowper was again assailed by his old
malady in January, 1773. he was, as
lie wrote afterward, suddenly reduced
from Ills wonted state Of understanding
to III almost childish imbecility." a
melancholy Of the darkest dye over
shadowed him. He.again attempted t
commit suicide. He believed that hi
food was poisoned, that everybody hates
him, and especially Mrs. Unwin, thougl
he would allow no one else to wait OF
him. The return OF the malady ono
again prevented soul most capaciou
and tender from enjoying the full bless
ing Of earthly love. The intimat
friendship between him and Mrs Unwi
had ended in a marriage engagement
but Cowper's condition from this tim
forward prevented their hopes from b'
ing ever realized. Cruel disease pr
vented the poet from making her h
wife, but their life was a
Union Of hearts without naw between,

A HTRANGE PLANT.

A curious plant has been discovered
in Wisconsin which produces kind od
cotton and fax from the same stalk. II
has already been woven into fabrics,
and, as any article that will make as
good cloth as can be made from this
plant will make good paper, it has been
called the paper plant. 1t can be planted
in the spring, and cut in the fall and
winter. 1t bIeaches itself white as 1t
stands, and it will yield three or four
tons to the acre. From single root
that was transplanted last spring grew
twenty large stalks, with 1856 pods con
tanning the cotton, at least sixty seeds
in each. From this root were obtained
seven ounces of pure cotton and over
pound of fiax. 1t is very heavy plant,
and grows from six to seven feet high.
