of the earth for the sun be repre-
sented by 4, that OF Jupiter will be
only II, Notwithstanding his enor-
nous size.
All that has been said of Jupiter
holds good in regard to Saturn, only
in greater degree, for Saturn, al
though 700 times tho volume of the
earth, is only 80 times greater in
mass. Its greatest distance from
the sun is 920, 0,973, 900 miles, and
least S71, $4,000, or 10000, 900
less. Its mean distance, therefore,
is nearly ten times greater than that
of the earth. It is thus evident that
although Saturn would, if placed in
the earth's orbit, exert ninety times
greater influence than that orb, yet
at its remote bounds it exerts no more
on the sun than does the earth. In
this case as in that of Jupiter, the
difference in attraction between ape
helion and perihelion would not be
sufficient to cause any alarming
changes either in the sun or in the
earth. Certainly if we find no
change in the earth directly refera-
BILE to it's own perihelion, we should
not expect to find changes produced
by other planets.
After thus disposing of the two
Titans of the solar system, it is need
less to mention the others, which
form altogether an insignificant por-
ton.
Why there should be any greater
changes on the earth during the Pc
riod of perihelion of any planet,
than apehelion, no one attempts to
explain, or why because several en-
ter perihelion at nearly the same
time, should let loose war and the
plague.
These Milleritish predictions of
"the end of the world" of convul-
sions and misery, belong to another
age than the present; to an age
when the laws of nature We're lily
understood, and tyrant was sup
pused to manage the universe for
mans discomfort and his own selfish
pleasure. Now, we have faith in
law, the result of knowledge, and
these prophecies are like those of the
weather in the almanac of the quack.
Furthermore, why should the in
huence be for evil instead of for
good? Why not the. disturbances
caused by this slight approach to the
sun, rebound to the benefit of man,
instead of his destruction?
There is nothing certain in these
wild prophecies. They have not the
least foundation in science. and
whether given by mortals or spirits,
are simply wicked in the effects they
have on the credulous and ignorant.
If pestilence is to come next
year from the scowl of Jupiter, no
better PREPARATION can be made than
such predictions which, if believed,
unnerve the system and make the
victim ready for the slaughter.
f. In 1856, more than four centuries
ago, the Pope issued bull against
Hally's comet, which from the zenith
to the horizon swept its direful toll
of fire of flame, shaking therefrom,
war, pestilence and famine, bending
the knee of all Europe in agony OF
fear.
Now we have repetition OF the
same ignorance of mans relation to
nature, and catering prese prosti-
tuted to feeding credulity.
Wherever the planets may be,
there will be countries at war, and
others where food will be wanting,
and others still smitten with disease; ;
and on the other side nations ut
peace, nations abounding in pros.
perity, and rejoicing in more than
average health.

CoLoR1Na FOR EASTER Eaas.-Eggs
to be colored are first to be boiled
about five minutes; then are dyed
the various colors. To color blue
on eggs: Boil in water containing a
little prussiate or potassium; take
out and when dry, dip for a minute
in cold water in which little cop
peras had been dissolved. Turmeric
in water will stain yellow. Sumac,
Brazil wood, cochineal and madder
will impart their various hues, all of
which may be modified by being
dipped in alum water.

better tiinbered than any of its sistel
valleys east of the Cascade noun
tains. All the mountains on the
west and northwest down to the
base of the foothills, are covered
with vast forests of pine, fir, lamar
ack and cedar, Of excellent quality.
Here all the settlers find their tim
Der for Lighthouses, barns, fencing
and fuel. There are two saw-mills
in the valley in full operation, two
others, will be put up this Spring,
one being a steam mill, in order to
meet the increasing demand for lum-
ber. It is hoped that people will
not have to wait in the future, as
heretofore, for weeks and months
for building material. Lumber
ranges in price from $l2 dollars up
to $40 according to quality. These
prices, however, are excessive, con-
'sidering the cheapness of the logs
and the trifing expense of running
the mills. Any person who would
put up mill and charge reasonable
prices for their lumber, would do
we'll here. In addition to other ad-
vantages, this is only valley where
the Northern Pacific Railroad find
timber, IN ost accessible and in suffi.
cient quantities to build their line.
a force of about 100 men are at work
at present cutting logs, and rolling
them into the Yakima river. at the
rate of from $4,000 to 10000 feet a
day. In April or May they will be
foated down the stream to the
mouth of Snake river. It is said
that another force will be sent up
in June to cut ties for the Walla-
walla and Cello line. According to
all appearances there will be logging
in these mountains for years to come,
which will be good thing for the
farmers, freighters and merchants
OF this valley. -
Another source of wealth TO this
country, are the gold Mines Gold
has been found in paying Quantities
on the Squak creek. Quartz mills
will be put up this Summer at some
of the mines, and great rush of
miners are expectad into these re-
gions before long. If the proposed
Seattle and Walla-walla wagon road,
via Snoqualmie pass, will ever be
made, it will be a great accommoda-
ton to the people of this valley and
a source Of wealth to the people of
the Sound. At present, much Of
our trade and produce, except cattle
go down to the Dalles, where goods
are dear and the freight charges
high. By having easy access to the
Sound, our farmers might find there
q better market for their produce
and a cheaper place to buy their
goods. In short, what this section
of the country needs to develop its
resources, is better and more di-
rect communication with salt water.
Were eastern capitalists aware Of
the wealth that lies buried in our
mountains, the vastness of our for
ests and the fertility OF our soil, they
would not be slow in investing their
money to construct railroad to the
Sound. But it will not be long be-
fore they will become apprehensive
of these advantages, SO /" There is a
good time coming, only wait little
longer" Energetic, persevering Ia
Dor must proceed railroads and mar
kets. d. THOMAS.

Weather very warm and dry.-Town quiet
and dull since the adjournment of district
court Court adjourned last Saturday after
q three weeks session. A great deal of bust
ness was disposed of and the hitherto crowded
docket hearly closed. Eighteen felony cases
we're tried, out of which were only three
convictions. Most of them were old cases
that have been continued from term to term
by the state because there was nothing in
them. j. j. Vardeman, esq, of Gatesville,
presided as special Judge during the last two
weeks of court, Judge Nugent being sbsent
on account of the sickness of his wife, who
died last Saturday. The grand jury only
found eight true bills, which speaks well for
the county. c. Buck, esq, district
attorney for this district, has resigned on ac-
count of ill health, and has gone north to re-
cuperate. first new cotton was
brought into town last Friday, and sold to

hackers in the county, but the Democrats

Although there was great opposition to
Governor Roberts before the Dallas conven-
ton, yet most of our people, like good
Democrats, will support him because he is
the nominee. -Rev. S. T. Evans, an old
citizen of this county, died last night.

PALESTINE.


Correspondence of the Herald.
PALESTINE, August 20, 1880.
There was considerable ingsthering Of
people here on Friday, the 9th INST, doubt
less to witness the hanging of Roland Rucker,
for the murder of DR.. Grayson aud his wife.
Why it is that men, women and children are
drawn to witness such scenes we cannot say.
Certain it is that large crowds usually assem-
bic on such occasions. On last Friday we
are glad, however, to be able to put on rec
ord the almost entire absence OF white women.
Public executions are productive of no posi-
BILE good, but, on the contrary, are very objec-
tionable on account Of the consequences that
inevitable flow from them. We will not
stop to argue the right or wrong of capital
punishment. 1t is the law of the land. II
is, however. an imperative duty to so con-
duct the infection of the death penalty that
the living may not be injured. | have wit.
messed some and read of other instances when
the condemned stated TO the assembled
crowd that he was prepared to die, not only
prepared, not only fearless, but anxious for
the change; that he was going home to
Heaven and to God. One man said: "When
fall through the drop l will fall into the
arms of Jesus" On the mind of the igno-
rant negro hearer Of srch statement a
hurtful influence is exerted; an evil
impression is made. Many Of
them envy the speaker and would
like to be central figure in similar scene.
Such an execution aud such statements do
not tend to prevent the commission ofun-
lawful acts. Every one of the men hanged
or almost every one, according to the papers,
goes at once to heaven and eternal beati-
tude. II seems to the writer well enough
that learned, pious clergymen should visit the
condemned, should extort to repentance and
confession, should speak of the mercy Of
God, etc., but it seems also proper to as that
they should avoid making the impression
that the Lord hes an especial fondness for
those whose hands are red with human blood.
Crops in this section are good. Damages
from the worm very slight. The yield OF
corn and cotton will be far above that OF last
year, and there are, besides the good crop,
many other evidences of future prosperity,
and we predict better times.---Not much
said about politics; while there is no enthusl'
asm over the Dallas nomination the people
will vote the ticket; If there is any opposition
to Governor Roberts it is smothered, and an
independent movement would not be en-
Outraged. opinion obtains that Z. D.
Davis will not long be before the people as
candidate for governor, but that Genera
Robertson will take his place on the Repuoli'
can ticket. Prominent Republicans say thi;
was the understanding at the Hearne con-
vention.
