A temperance paper on this coast
has taken special pains to inform its
readers of the death of man which
was said to have occurred just as he
took drink of beer or liquor but it
should mention one other sad case of
this kind which happened in Astoria.
The Historian relates the event as fol-
lows:
Michael Sibich, a native of Austria,
died suddenly of heart disease at Nick $
Restaurant yesterday morning. He
was drinking glass of water at the
time the sad event occurred.
All these events should prove a
warning to people that they must not
attempt to drink anythingjust as they
are about to die. 1t is an act fraught
with danger to their characters after
death.

venience. Four schools in active operation
are endeavoring to ''teach the young idea.
And why should school matters not be -four
ishing when "star editor" holds the SUPER
intendent's baton? A mark also of our ad-
vancement in progress is a couple of ''old
bachelors have risen above the need of
"woman's rights" and having secured an old
jingling sewing machine and pair of sheep
shears, lcut out and make their own gar
ments; even have advanced SO far as to quilt
their night caps. The constant changing
lately of the O. r. & N. Co.'S employees has
been variety enough, and for season will
keep the gossip budget full. Should there
happen to be life enough left in Cascades by
the 4th of July, and we hear of any prepare
tions for a ball we will let you know, SO that
"P. c." can be on hand without the fear of
the lend of boot" and we will try to give
you glimpse of the costumes, &C., so that
you may understand the modus operandi of
Cascade festivities. SKAMANIA.

We still have faith that western
Washington is the best part of the
Territory to settle in, and to remain
in. Here there is rain enough, and
there has never been failure in crops.
The following from the Walla Walla
Waterman of June Sd, tells Of story
for east of the mountains:
Owing to a continual absence of
rain, our prospects for good harvest
have gradually faded away. Last year
we had but half crop, but farmers
around here do not expect even that
much, this year. Wheat, in many
places headed out when only four
inches high. and such a crop isn't fit
for chicken feed. We hate to tell this,
but it is fact and Disgusting it won't
make it better. For the last three
weeks it tried to rain, but would not.
1t seems to need lubricatOr or laXa-
tive Of some kind, but then it is too
late now. Further up the country the
crops look better, but it will be a poor
harvest throughout the land this year,
still, we have to grin and bear it like
men. There is one consolation: We
won't starve in this country, neither
will we have bread riot, but it be-
hooves all classes of men to go slow
and exercise the strictest economy.

From the Cascades.

The Cancer" would find most favorable
field for his temperance eloquence at Lower
Cascades at present, for, with population
OF about fifty, there are now established two
full hedged saloons which must do good
business, judging from the number of wills

The time was when license to sell liquor
was too high in Skamania to allow profit,
but it appears that it has been modified to
VIII; Who not fong aso evsdsd tie law BY putting

selling the same as ''ague bitters." 1t no
doubt brought in good many dollars, and
as his conscience was something after the

at the loss to Uncle Sam" or the effect on
his customers.
The monotony of life has been rufiied by

contradictory one, however, in regard to the
affairs of the o. r. & N. Co., for in assessing
the new warehouse which was valued at
something over $4,000, he raised it IS, 600
more. Why do those who derived all they
possess from the o. r. & n. Co. seize any
petty advantage to cripple the financial
standing of said Co.? Is it the old story of

FRIEND overwhelmingly morning, be.
ing at the barracks, was witness of an
act which interested me, and which, as it il
Illustrates clearly the process of reasoning so
much denied to inferior animals, will here
give: middle-sized dog with long, shaggy
and yellowish hair, belonging" to no
particular breed, unless, perhaps, he might
be called terrier, came to the gate of the
lot in front of Lieut.. Ms house, evidently
intending to get in, if possible. l think he
wanted to join some children playing on the
ground. He scratched and paved at the
lower cross-bar of the gate, which he thus
drew partly open and then tried to get in
through the opening thus made; but the
gate would close before the dog could do
more than just shove his nose partly into
the gap. This, to my great amusement,
was repeated for as many as Is or 20 times,
the dog apparently never getting discour-
aged, but Immediately going to work again
with every fresh failure, each time drawing
the gate little more widely Open At last
he pulled it until it was more than a right
angle, and then, suddenly letting Co. rushed
into the gap before the gate had time to
come back and close, and succeeded in get
ting in. How could an inexperienced child
wishing to get in, have done better? Was
not the wonderful perseverance of that dog,
undismayed by so many failures, but every
time patiently trying again until successful,
really admirable? Don't say that animals
are devoid of reasoning powers.

The Walla Walla section Of the o.

accident. The accident occurred at
Whitman station, beyond Wallula.
In changing the road from narrow to
standard gauge the track was moved
over so as to bring the trains in pass
ing nearer objects, tanks, bridges, etc.
At $3.50 Friday evening the train
reached Whitman station. A brakes
man named James Walsh, known as
"Chicago," and lady passenger
named Miss Minnie Wells, both had
their heads out Of windows looking
back just as the train began to slow
up. Their heads struck violently
against protruding water pipe from
q large tank which stood just at the
side of the track. Walch's head was
very seriously cut and bruised by the
pipe. Miss Wells head was also
dreadfully lacerated and it is though
that the skull is fractured. She diet

Friend after friend departs:
Who hath not lost friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end:
Were this frail world our only rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond this'vale of death,
There surely is some blessed cline
Where life is not BREATH
Nor life's affection transient fire
Whose sparks fly upward to expire.
There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A whole eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that happier sphere.
Thus star by star declines,
Till all are passed away,
As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day
Nor sink those stars in empty night
They hide themselves in heavens owl
light.

A WOUND SIMILAR TO GARFIELD'S.

Major Benjamin F. Rittenhouse, L. S. A. (retir-
ed was shot in 1864 in nearly the same place
as the late President Garfield. The Major was
then commanding battery of the Fifth United
States Artillery, and was sew erely wounded by a
bullet, which struck him about three inches to
the right of the spine. The ball encountered the
tenth rib and was DETECTED upward and to the
left, passing through the rear part of the spinal
column and then ranged forward, so that with
the exception of passing through the rear instead
of the front portion of the spinal column, and
striking first the tenth instead of the eleventh
rib, the wound was almost identical with that
which took the life of President Garfield. Major
RittenhOuSe was taken from the field to the Off
GERS hospital at the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
whence he was removed by his parents to their
residence, ON West street, Georgetown, to die as
they were mournfully assured by the surgeons who
had examined his injuries On arrival here DR..
Basil Norris, L. S. A.,was called in as attending
surgeon. After few days DR.. Norris succeeded in
locating the bullet and cut it out, relieving the
patient and bringing him back to health. Major
RittenhOuse returned to duty, but was placed on
the retired list in 1874 for this wound and is now
living ON the Hudson, near New York city. DR..
Norris, it will be remembered was one of the sur
geons who were in attendance at the death bed of
Abraham Lincoln, and was also called in OD the

YARDS OF RED TAPE.

A singular instance of the promptness with
which orders from the War Department sometimes
reach their destination, happened recently. The
order issued September 20, the day after President
Garfeld's death, precribing the honors to be paid
to the memory of the dead, reached the Washing
ton barracks on the Both Consequently, salute
of thirteen guns was fired at dawn October
/, and half-hour guns were booming all day.
in the evening national salute of thirty EIGHT
guns was fired. At 10 o'clock October 1, the
troops were assembled and the orders read to them
This was the first official notice the men had re-
ceived of the death. In spite of the solemnity of
the occasion there was a ripple of amusement
among the men as the facts gravely read to
them. One subaltern was heard to remark, when
it was over that if orders to protect Guiteau in
the event OF an attack on the jail came by the
same expeditions route he would be satisfied
