Horse Points.

All agree, says writer in the Agri-
cultural Gazette, it is the action in the
horse that sells. This is obtained when
we have the complemental power in the
muscles, the greatest leverage from the
bones, and quslity in the tendons, health
in the igaments, and truth in the dispo-
sition of she limbs. We adjudicate on
the horses hindquarters as whole. All
horses with any pretensions to quality or
family possess length and straightness
from the hips to tail. This is especially
graceful and horizontal in the thorough
bred.

terion both of speed and power; all
horses of value are swell let down. in

length and volume in the muscles, pow

bone and thigh bone-the first strong
and long, the second strong, of average
length; this naturally varies with breed,
but in all classes it is most important

The Price Of Coal.

The people have good cause to cry out
against the coal monopoly this season The
advance of 10 cents a ton for mining has
been followed by an increase, in the retail
price, Of 90 cents. Between the % cents
now paid the miners and the $3.50 charged
the public there lies extortion of the most
unserupulous kind, and the operators and
dealers will have to divide the RESPONSE
biIity between them. The people, whose
hard earned money is thus forced into the
pockets of the coal men, are not to be
blamed if they fail'to see why the advance
charged to them should be five times that
given the miners, and in the present tenn
per the community twill not be surpris
ing to see call for public meeting to
protest against this and other species of ex-
tortion now being perpetrated upon the
purchasing public.7Akron Beacon.

Rescued from Captivity.

Late Sydney papers give a pathetic
story of the rescue of poor Italian sail
or from captivity among sayages on one
of the solomon Islands. He was one of
the survivors of the French italian emf
grafton expedition under the Marquis de
Reyes. The following Is the story of the
rescue: Capt. Mclaughlin, who ex-
plored several of the islands in the Solo,
mon group, discovered a white man
naked among the savages on Bonda Is
land and counted seventy war canoes,
each containing forty armed savages.
After considerable stratagem he got
alongside the canoe containing the white
man, who was ultimately with some
difficulty and danger purchased for
three American hatchets. 1t was dis
covered that he was an Italian named
Luigi Boero, who had hssr fifteen
months q captive with. the savages.
When he found that he was about to be
liberated his joy knew no bounds and he
became almost frantic. He embraced
Captain Mclaughlin in an agony of Joy,
while the sayagas surrounded them,
shouting, yelling and brandishIng their
weapons. Luigi Boero believed he was
utterly lost. He imagined that he had
been with his captors three years. He;

Three days afterward they struck a reef.
The boat, unfortunately, was broken,
and they fell into the hands of the ma.
tives. He got separated from his com.
panions, whom he only saw once after
ward, when they had q fearful tale OF
suffering to relate. They were treated
worse than dogs. They were slaves OF
every one in the village, and made to
do horrible work, always being treated
with the greatest ill-usage and obliged
to work in the broiling sun, with thei1
skin peeling off. When enfeebled and
sick they were cruelty beaten and tor.
tured. Three months previous to the
srriva! of the steamer Genil, Luigi
heard that all but two had snccumbed te
ill-treatment and want of food. Capt
Mclaughlin, after rescuing Luigi, sailed
for Bronga, InviDe and other islands
where he heard of another white man ir
captivity, but was unsuccessful in res
caing him. 1t is supposed this unfortu
nate Italian is the only Survivor of hi
six countrymen who started with him
It may be that one of the others is still
alive, in captivity among the savages

GOVERNOR NEWELL'S VISIT.

| On Friday last Gov. VIM. a. Newell
and family arrived at this place from Vic
toria, whittier they had been on a brief
tour OF pleasure and information. The
Governor spent part Of the day getting
acquainted with citizens of Port Town
send, and learning of our history, COM
merCial condition and public wants. In
the afternoon he visited the garrison at
Fort Townsend, where he was received
with military hOnOrS. Returning, he re-
ceived calls in the evening from numer-
Gus ladies and gentlemen, at the residence
| OF DIR. Minor, and later the party went
on board the idaho, leaving for up Sound
about midnight. The visit, though neces-
sarily hasty, was fully appreciated by all
in the place, and, as the distinguished
guest expressed himself well enough
pleased with our town and surroundings
10 avow his determination to repeat the
call, his next coming will be looked for
ward to with pleasure.
Governor Newell is pleasant, substaa-
tial looking gentleman, a little above me-
dium stature, well built, and remarkably
self-possessed and dignified in manner, yet
affable and talkative. His hair and beard,
once dark, betray in their silyery hue tile
man OF advancing years, somewhat be-
yond the prime OF life. His large even
features are brought ont to good advan-
tage by lnstrous, expressive and keen
black eyes that derive an additional forci-
bic appearance from heavy, overhanging
browS. In conversation he is especially
interesting. displaying vast amount of
varied information. and indicating the
man of ripe experience and thorough pol
lsh. Having been i'll Congress many
years ago, and in public life one way or
another ever since, he has kept pace with
the growth of the times in all matters of
public Importance. As citizen, he could
not fail to be Il valuable acquisition to any
country; rs chef executive OF our terrific
ry, his Judgment may be relied upon in
all matters pertaining 10 orr material
welfare, while his natural habits of OBJ
servatiOn and mental activity have ell
abled him 10 already possess himself of
more information concerning the territory
than nine-tenths OF our citizens can boast
after years of residence here. lie is de-
lighted with the country, and says that no
Eastern man can properly appreciate our
vast natural resources without seeing
them. lie is quite enthusiastic on tile sub
Ject OF development and admission to
statehood. and predicts yet speeLier pro-
gress as soon as this can be accomplished.
He is actively interesting himself in at
tracting hither capital and desirable citi-
Zens from the east. Or course those who
are here will be pleased TO witness the
success OF these effoIts, AMI to accord due
credit 10 the worker.

No one, perhaps, has made an es-
innate of Mr.. Conkling's character,
more nearly accurate, than that indi-
Gated by remark recently made by
ex-President Hayes when he said
that the mans conceit and intense
pride had run into decided mono
mania; that he seemed over sensi
tive, and in constant dread of being
''insulted'' or humiliated," often tax
ing offense where none is intended.
On the other hand, no one seems to
have epi,Omized the exact situation
more briefly than did ex-Vice Presi
dent Colfax when he gave as his
views the other day that the main
reason for the popular Indignation
among republicans against Conkling,
on account of his late resignation,
was because he, in a fit of anger,
turned the Senate over to the con
troll of the Democrats after the re
publicans had barely obtained the
ascendency through long years OF
hard struggling. To the observant
mind, it is evident that Roscoe
Conkling. with all his splendid ahil
tiles, has reached the zenith of his
fame: and that hereafter, if he fig
ures at all in politics, it will be only
as q disorganizer, to vent his bitter
, 1881-06-10

hatred against supposed enemies IN
h party. Nothing short OF an utter
and unconditional surrender on the
part of all who have opposed his
wishes could appease mis- wrath, and
this being totally cut of the ques-
ton with independent Americans,
there is but one alternative, that be
ing the continuance of the sulk:ng,
rule or ruin policy for which the great
senator has already manifested such
decided aptness. 1t is a pity.
Being born leader aud a man Of
commanding abilities, Mr.. Conkling
is invaluable as an expounder of re-
publican principles and an aggress-
i've champion of the party. Besides
this, he is entitled to an honored pc
sition in view Of his past services.
On account of these reasons there
has been a constant, sincere, and
openly expressed desire on the part
of other republican leaders, to con-
ciliate him on all occasions and rec
ognize his claims fully. This feel
ing was fully shared by President
Garfield. But the arrogant "Boss"
would have all or none; and he is
likely to get one of his selections.
AS Gov. Newell recently truthfully
remarked, Conkling's character rep
resents extreme strength and ex-
treme weakness; unfortunately the
weaker side is gaining ascendencv.

been out of the position some three

Capt. Willoughhy, the present agent,

credit attached to the former man
