KING ARTHURS CASTLE IN CORN
WALL, ENGLAND.

The county Of Cornwall is so rich and
varied in it's scenery, and possesses SO
many points of interest, that it well
repays visit in the Summer months,
whether the tourist be geologist bota-
mist, archaologist, or simply "out for
holiday" and, wishing to make the
most OF it, he ought not to be disap-
pointed. OF all it's ancient monuments
not one better repays a visit than King
Arthur's Castle in the parish of Tinta-
gel, or Dundagil, as it is written by old
-chroniclers. 1t is a supposed strong
hold of that wonderful Arthur whose
sayings and doings have been handed
down through ages and ages now past,
and who has at last been mortalized in
verse by the laureate. Here, between
''the laundering shores of Rude and
Boss, at "Wild Dundagil by the Germ
ish Sea, " the infant Arthur was by &
roaming wave cast and left when it re-
treated, high, if not dry, on the sandy
beach-ai least SO says Tennyson in his
"Idylls Of the King" That such per-
son as Arthur ever existed, except IN
the minda of poets and legend -mengers,
we are allowed to doubt; and that he,
If existing, ever resided at this Castle
of Tintagel, which bears his name, is
problematlcal, though of the very great
antiquity Of the fortress there can be
no doubt; but the idea is one to take
the fancy even of prosaie person who
stands on the castle height now car
peted with turf and bright with the
looks from it over the wide expanse ef
restless sea and listens TO the roar Of its
waves as they dash against the rocks
beneath The whole scene is so grand,
so fitted to the history OF the man for
whom Excaiibur was forged beneath
the waves by fairy fingers. The outer
works of the castle are bgilt on perpen-
dicular cliffs on the mainland, bat the
principal fortress is on a wild heedland
projecting into the sea and separated
by chasm from the mainland. The
two parts are said to have been con.
nected at one time by dTGwbridge.
but no trace Of such an erection now
remains. Indeed, little OF the castle
itself is in existence--a few crumbling
walls pierced with loopheles for the
discharge of arrows, two or three bold
archways and broken fight OF steps
here and there being all that remains OF
this aged fortress. A narrow, zigzag
path leads up from the rocks to the
island part Of the castle. The danger
of this has been much raegnifed; that
it is merely sheep path, and that in
going up it one knows that be is scaling
the face Of tremendous cliff, from
which false step might harl him on
the rocks beneath, with fatal conse-
quences, is quite true; but except to
the very timid, the fact Of there being
slight amount of danger in the ascent
makes the accomplishment of it the
more to be desired. 4 low, parapeted
wall and an iron-stuGaed door have
been placed at this part during the
present century. Tho door is always
kept locked; but tho key can be pro-
cured land q guide if required) at
quaint little cottage Nesting ct the side
Of the hill leading from TraEcna to the
castle. There is no village of Tintagel,
but the hamlet of Travena ia within ten
minutes walk Of the cliff.

The fifty-third issue of the West

BILE better than any which have pre-.
coded it. Besides the usual calen-
dars, and n vast fund of astronomi.
cal information, it contains over ifty
pages of interesting selections On
almost every subject. This is espec.
tally valuable to farmers, as even q
casual reading of the many hints on
stock-raising, tilling the soil, the
cultivation of fruits, and kindred
topics, cannot fail to ensure the in
culcation of some maxim or precept
which will be of inestimable value

Mr.. Henry, Justice of the Peace
for Olympia precinct, has issued
since Jan. 18th, 1870. GO certificates
for bounty on wild animals killed
within the county. OF these, AZ
were for bears, for killing which q
bounty of 81 so is given, amounting
to $lO5, and II cougars. at IS, $S5.
The certificates of the Justice of the
Peace amounted to $21 SO, making
tota! of $2l1 so paid for Kidding
the country of destructive animals.
This probably spproximates the
whole amount paid by the county
for this purpose.

The Hartford Times rebukes the
prevailing mania of . portion of the
American people to subordinate
everything to party domination.
Sad as it is Ito know that the judi.
ciary is as partisan as are ward poll
ticians, it is far more humiliting to
acknowledge that even those who
hold commissions in the Army ofthe
Lord" are not a whit more capable
of arising above the selfish and We
nal considerations of party success.
That journal notes the fact that
nothing like the bitterness of the Re-
publicans-particularly in Maine,
where they suddenly find their fin
gers pinched in the trap they had
made to catch the Democrats-has
ever been witnessed before. To
hear their outcries one would not
naturally suppose they had been
concerned in great returning-board
fraud, TO change the peoples deci-
sion, rendered constitutionally in
the choice of a President of the
United States. In Maine the pulpits
seem to be turned, in many in
stances, into sort of party ward
room shouting places. In sermon
at Lewiston, Maine, the Rev. Mr..
Hamilton, pastor of one of the
churches there, spoke bitterly against
the Democrats, and then said:
~ remarked to several friends who
are here tonight that there WAS not the
slightest use to hold national election
in 1880. Tho candidate selected by the
convention Of the party IN control of Con-
gress will be inauKurated in spite of law,
precedent or majority. The only remedy
is revolution"
Suppose this hot-headed and fool
ish counsel were to prevail, and the
partisans who approved the Presi-
dental steal were to resort to force,
to resist the carrying out of laws
which they themselves had enacted
and used against the Democrats
where would the Rev. Mr.. Hamilton,
and all such men, then be found
Would they be in the front of the
battle? or would they he sneaking
off, to escape the dangers they had
aided in producing? Revolution, "
indeed! Does this returning. board
approver know what he is talking

The Legislature made nice mud
die of the revnue and road laws.
They are not in accord with each
other, nor is either consistent in all
its provisions with itself. A great
difficulty will be experienced under
it to accomplish the usual road-work,
as the amount due from each pro-
perty-owner is to be ascertained from
the assessment roll, which will not
be returned till August, a season Of
the year at which active farm opera
tons require constant attention.
The Commissioners in this county
have appointed Supervisors and re-
quested them to give certificates of
labor approximatins the amount sup
posed to be due, with the under.
standing Tat receipts will he issued
after adjustment by the roll. 1t
does seem that the Legislature might
have exercised a little more care in
framing these important laws. Such
incongruities as are apparent on the
most casual examination of the laws,
can only he attributed to the gross
est negligence.

bility OF her growth, while We are
still striving to deretop these re-
sources which will instill q like hope
for the future.
The greatest misfortune of Olym-
pia is, that her citizens mainly belong
to that conservative, easy-going class,
who prefer present enjoyment to the
bliss usually ascribed to the posses
sion of wealth. They have been used
to high prices for goods and sup
plies of all kinds, good wages and
ready pay. This state of affairs is
doubtless caused, in some degree,
BY the annual disbursements of the
General Government, which serve
to furnish large proportion of the
circulating medium" and render
the people oblivious of the neces-
sity for keeping up steady income
from abroad to supply the amounts
expended on imports. While be-
lieving themselves to be independ-
ent.. they have really grown depend
ent. Trade has been drawn into
more favorable channels, and as o
result we find local traffic circum-
scribed to our townspeople and the
Immediately surrounding country,
while many of the people of Lewis
and Chehaiis 60 to Portland to trade,
and those on our northern border
find their way to Seattle whenever q
cash purchase of any magnitude is
to be made in staple articles of con-
sumption.
The conclusions we draw are: LIST,
That we are suffering the ills of a
general stagnation of business, with
out special aids which sustain some
of the other communities; I'd, That
we have made living too easily, and
arc not used to the new order of
things brought about by rapidity
and cheapness OF transportation; I'd.
That Olympia, is not going to track
or ruin," but is simply somnolent
md lazy, needing but o vigorous
shaking up, to set her many latent
sesources into active life.

An important Enterprise.

Messrs. Weston & Swichart have
made arrangements to establish, at
once, q large glove mandatory in
Olympia, the second floor of Mr..
Damon's building having been rent
cd for the workshop, and the refusal
of several desirable sites for the tan
merry secured. One of these will be
selected in u few days, and in about
fortnight it is expected to have the
project fully inaugurated. This
business will give steady employ
ment to at least, twenty-five persons,
aud create market for pelts, which
will distribute large amount of
money annually among the people
Of this and the adjacent counties.
We know of no enterprise which
could have been suggested which
would be greater benefit 10 the
community than this, except possibly
wooden mill, and that would re-
quire years of steady endeavor to
place it upon paying basis, while
this will prove self-sustaining from
the start. 1t would require very
few such industries to set the ball
of progress rolling onward and con-
vince even the Lutelligencer that our
town is not going to crack and
ruin" That We are to have many
such aids in the near future is a
prediction very sure to be verified.
The clam canning business is SPRING
ing int an active reality, under the
experimental tests made by Mr..
Stuth, and the fame of our oyster
beds has already built up a trade
which brings in steady revenue.
We hope that every facility will
be extended to Messrs. Weston L.
Swichart in getting their business
established. We are all interested
in it's fate. and to practice any ex-
tortion which would endanger the
success of the enterprise would be
literally killing the goose which
laid the golden egg"

DR.. G.. Wilks described, at recent
meeting of the London Clinical So
cicty, remarkable case OF lightning
stroke. A farm-laborer was struck
by lightning while standing under a
willow tree, near the window of
shed in which his three fellow.work-
men had just taken shelter from a
violent storm of rain. His compan-
ions found the tree partly denuded
of its bark, and the patients boots
standing at its foot. The patient
himself was lying on his back two
yards off, and, though he was pre-.
viously fully clothed, he was now
absolutely naked. he was conscious,
but much burned, and his leg was
badly broken. The field around
was strewn with the fragments of
the clothing. The clothes were split
or torn from top to bottom, but
showed evidence of fire only where
they came in contact with metal,
such as his watch and the buckle of
his waist-belt. The left boot was
torn and twisted into fantastic
shapes, but the sole was uniniured,
and there was no sign of fire upon it;
the right boot had tho leather much
torn and the sole rent and burned.
A hole was burned through the case
of the watch, and the chain was al.
most entirely destroyed. The stock.
ings were split down the inner side.
The hat was uninjured. The pa
tent stated that he was struck vio-
lently on the chest and shoulders,
became enveloped in a binding light,
and was hurled into the air, coming
down on his lack, and never losing
consciousness. His body was COW
cred with burns, a broad crimson
band of fame passing down each
thigh and leg. Twenty weeks after
the occurrence he was discharged
completely healed. DR.. Wilks re-
marked on the almost complete ex-
emption from injury of the nervous
system, and on the probability that
the clothes being wet acted as good
conductors, and so diverted the cleo
trio current from the great nervous
trunks, thus saving the mans life.
