THE YOUNG MAN OF PRINCIPLE.

|. A Young man was in position where his
employers required him to make false state.
ment by which several hundred dollars would
come into their hands which did not belong
to them. All depended upon this clerks
serving their purpose. To their great vexa.
ton he utterly refused to do so. He could
not be induced to sell his conscience for any
ones favor. AS the result, he was discharged
from the place..
Not long after, he applied for vacant
situation, and the gentleman, being pleased
with his address, asked him for any reference
he might have.
The young man felt that his character was
unsullied, and SO fearlessly referred him to
his last employer.
II have Just been dismissed from his en-
ploy, and you can inquire Of him about me"
1t was new fashion Of getting a young
mans recommendations, but the gentleman
called on the firm and found that he was
"too conscientious about trifes." The gentle
man had not been greatly troubled by too
conscientious employees, and preferred that
those intrusted with his money should have
fine sense of truth and honesty, so he en-
gagged the young man, who rose fast in favor,
and became at length partner in one Of
the largest firms in Boston.
"a good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches" Even unscrupulous men know
the worth of good principles that cannot be
moved.
A gentleman turned off man in his EN-.
ploy at the bank, because he refused to write
for him on Sunday. When asked afterward
to name some reliable person he might know
as suitable for cashier in another bank, he
mentioned the same man.
"You can depend on him, for he refused to
work for me on the Sabbath"
A gentleman, who employed many persons
in his large establishment, said: "When l
see one of my young men riding out for pleas.
ure on Sunday, dismiss him on Monday: 1
know such case cannot be trust : Nor
will I employ any one who even occasionally
drinks liquor of any kind"
Honor the Sabbath and all the teachings
of the Bible, and you will not fail to find
favor with God, and with man also.

The Saints and the Law.

in the next Congress the Territory OF
U.ah will probably be represented by a
citizen Of the United States who il not
a polygamiss, and who is, therefore, what
is known in that part Of the world as a
Gentle. As our readers may know, the
word Gentle in the use Is opposed TO
Saint or Mormon. Consequently Nor
mon community is to be represented by 3
person. There is no doub. that the Nor
mon candidate, Cannon, received major
iry If the votes C. st, and that If the votes
wrr, legally cast the Gentle candlda'e,
Campbell, is beaten; yet the Governor
has gwen the certificate OF election To
Campbell. HIS reasons are that Cannon
is an alien and has never been naturallzsd
and he cannot be naturalized IN time to
take his seat, because As polygamlst ne Is
living in violation of the laws of Congress
and cannot in good faith take an oath to
obey them and that Campbell, IS the
only eligible person voted for, is of course,
elected. This seems to be common sense
and is, We hope, good law, and We trust
it will be sustained upon the certain con-
test that will be made in Congress-

The Cold Wave.

We alone arc not the sufferers by the
recsnt cold wave that has passed oyer US,
In fact We arc particularly fortunate.
From telcgraphic advices, We learn that
Europe is experiencing one of the sever
est winters known to the present genera
ton, in the shape snow and wind storms,
causing an immense loss Of Life and de-
.truction If property, and, what is worse,
the end has not Yet arrived. In the
Eastern portion of our OWN country, the
suffering and loss from wind storms has
very been great. We of the Northwest
should be thankful that We have escaped
the seventies of other climes. What
L,.ses We sustained in the way of perish
ing stock, can be but attributed % our
selves. We do not know of any special
contract entered into between Providence
and our stock men, III regard to feeding
and attenins their herds during the win
ter months.

A Romance of Exploration.

A dispatch from Berlin says that the
Geographical Society Of St. Petersburg
has decided TO receive Colonel Prejeval-
sky. the great Russian Explorer, with be-
fitting honors. He is expected shortly at
Ekaterinburg, on the homeward march,
and will proceed dircc. to the capital.
The reports of his explorations in Central
Asia are awaited with intense interest, as
he has unquestionably come nearer to the
source of the Yellow River than any other
European.
Few novelists have 81 exciting story
TO tell as that which Col. Prejevallnsky
hrinGs home with him He has been
travelling in regions which no European
foot had trod before him. While the
threatened storm between Russia and
China was growing On the frontier, he
was pushing his way among the unknown
territories Of High Asia pers:sten'ly and
nndismaved. He has wandered through
forests that are bright with the plrmage
of Blue pheasants. He has explored the
Tibetau highlands, where the peaks
ors said 10 rise 10000 feet above BIT.
Blanc. and the very rivers flow at levels
higher than the loftiest Of the Alps.
Chinese potestates have come within An
ace CT beheadins HIM Tartar horsemen
and Monaghan brigands have fled before
the uperring aim of his rife Natives
have spread the legend that his eyes could
pierce fathoms deep into the earth and
charm out the precious stones which lay
beneath: and the best opinion that these
tribesmen ever held Of HIM was that he
was a weil-disposed wizard who flew
about at night And after all this ad-
venture. his hope of reaching the mysteri-
ous ostar-spread sea still stands for the
nresent baffied. Form the SHOWS Of the
T,hetau mountains flow two of the great
o.. rivers of the earth, the fangtze and
the Yellow rivers, main arteries OF the
Chinese plsins. Even to the people who
dwell upon them their sources are nut
vaguely known. They arrive upon the
boTizen of exact knowledge as mighty,
rush;ng waters breaking from the noun
,a;ns To humber origins PreIevalski
has b,en unable to trace them When
he struck the Yellow river above Conn,
he found it already broad stream, clear
mo its way swiftly to the east through
a deep ravine, Gu. sharply ont OF the
rocky table land. At frequent intervals
as the explorer pushed along lis banks
with his string OF mules and camels, he
was checked by cross ravines, in the bot
of which tributaries rushed 10 the rIver.
..We would be marching over the unbre-
ken plain" ne says, "when all OF sud
Am a fearful chasm would threaten Us
with yawning throat, and the passage
would cost untold suffering TO MAJ and
beast" He found, in short, that the pro-
;sct of following up the Yellow river was
;mnossible. Nevertheless, he still be
Iieyss that the source may be reached
some other time, by starting further vest;
and there is little reason TO believe that
Russia, which, for two centuries past has
been distinguished for the energy which
she has devoted to the work Of geograph-
;cal exploration, will long allow his ser
vices to remain unemployed

Depth Of the Pacific Ocean.

The popular belief as to the compara-
tive shallowness Of the Pacific ocean may
have to be modified by recent soundings
made with what is known as Sir William
Thompson's steel wire, and which shows
that along the entire coast of California
a depth of 1900 fathoms or more is reach
ed within a distance of from twenty to
seventy miles westward from the shore,
the greater part of this sudden fall occur
ing in the last ten TO fifty miles At one
hundred miles west of San Francisco the
bottom is found to be z, 800 fsthoms deep
The bed of the ocean continresof uniform
depth greater than 500 fathoms until the
Sandwich Islands are reached, the great
est depth, 5000 fAthoms, at distance of
about four hundred miles east Of Honolu-
lu. That great depth is maintained until
within ninety miles OF Honolulu; at fifty
miles from that pace the depth is ] 500
fathoms
