A Famous Sunken Lake

Several of our citizens, saws a lack
sonville (Or.) paper, returned from the
great Sunken Lake, situated in the Cas-
cade Mountains, about seventy five
miles northeast from Jacksonville. This
lake rivals the famous valley of Sind
bad the Sailor. 1t is thought to average
1000 feet down to water All around
The depth of the water is unknown. as
it is so far below the surface of the
mountains that air currents do not
affect it. Its length is estimated at
twelve or fifteen miles, and its width
ten or twelve. There is mountain in
the center having trees upon it. 1t lies
still, silent and mysterious in the bosom
of the everlasting hills, like a huge
we'll scooped out by the hands of the
giant genii of the mountains in the un-
known ages gone by, and around it the
primeyal forests watch and ward are
keeping. The visiting party fired a
rifle into the water several times, at an
angle of 40 degrees. and were able to
note several seconds of time from the
report of the gun until the ball struck
the water. Such seems incredible, but
is vouched for by our most reliable
citizens. The lake is certainly'a most
remarkable curiosity

A Succession Of Evils

The course of kidney disease may thus be
traced First inactivity. then inflammation, then
degeneration, finally destruction of the organs A
gentle stimulus such as afforded by Hostet:er :
Stomach Bitters is oftentimes the ,unquestioned

dies to which the kidneys and bladder are subject
and which are so prone to terminate suddenly and
fatally. Nephitis, Brights disease, diabetes, ca

to arouse the grayest aprrehensions, but which
may be checked at the outset with this benign

Did Not Know II Was in the Bible

A wel-to-do deacon in Connecticut
was one day accosted by his pastor,
who said Poor Widow Green's wood
is all out. Can you not take her a
cord ?" "Well," answered the deacon,
81 have wood and | have the team; but
who is to pay me for it % The pastor,
somewhat vexed, replied, 81 will pay
you for it, on condition that you read
the first three verses of Psalms xii. be-
fore you go to bed tonight" The dea-
con consented, delivered the wood and
at night opened the Word of God and
read the passage: Blessed is he that
considereth the poor; the Lord will de-
liver him in time of trouble. The Lord
will preserve him and keep him alive,
and Thou will not deliver him unto the
will of his enemies. The Lord will
strengthen him on the he'd of languish-
ing; Thou wilt make all his bed in his
sickness" A few days afterward the
pastor met him again. Glow much
do | owe you, deacon, for that cord of
wood p "Oh !" said the now enlight
ened man, "do not speak of payment;
| did not know those promises were in
the Bible. | would not take money for
supplying the old widows wants"

INDIANA oNMtssro NFR PRICE says that
there must be a radical change in the
Governments Indian policy. The
present policy ''never will and never
can civilize' the Indians. If white
men were treated in the same way,
supplied with clothes and rations, the
result would be that the white men
would become a race Of worthless
vagabonds. Mr.. Price calls attention
TO the fact that it is the non-laboring
tribes that go on the war-path. He
says eve feed the White River muir
derers, while we compel the peaceable
Uintahs to take care of themselves.
The result is demoralizing to the red
