On Friday last, Gen. Tannatt and
Gen. Hunt, came up to this place for
the purpose of examining the route for
the. proposed Aume down the Pataha
to this place, and the timber adjacent,
to the head of the fume. Con. Tan
nett O. presses himself as believing the
scheme to be perfectly feasible, and in
regard to the timber, he says there is
sufficient timber for railway and gen
eral use to last for the NEXT FIFTY
YEARS.
Before leaving town, the General
said if the fume was built the COM
pany would depend OH this place for
their supplies Of wood, ties lumber,
rails, bridge timbers,etc., thus making
this the general depot for all the line
from this place to Snake river and up
the Taxas Ferry division to Colfax.
The positive assurance was given that
the railroad will be built to pATAuA

would lie delayed for two years, and if

Guiteau Guilty Of High Treason.
Annapolis Sentinel.

indianapolis Sentinel
A person attempting to kill the pres
ident of the United States, is not gull
ty of high treason; but person as
saulting man with intent to kill be-
cause he is president of the United
States, Is considered criminal guilty
of high treason, even though it is not
expressly declared in the constitution
of the United States.
For high treason, according to it's
nature and common acceptance, is All
attack directed against legitimate OK
ecutive authority, threatening its very
existence and attacking the fundamen-
tai organization of the government.
According to the constitution of the
United States, the executive power of
the United States is vested in the per-
son legitimately chosen as its president;
therefore, an assault with intent to
kill the president, because he is presi-
dent, is an attack on the executive
power Of the government of the United
States itself, threatening its funda-
mental organization, and consequently
an act of high treason under the pen
ally OF hlgn treason, and punishable Us
such.
The circumstance that such an act
is not explicitly mentioned in the con-
stitution of the United States does not
disprove what we have said; because an
act which by its very nature belongs to u
certain crimeis is impliedly condemned by
the class of crime to which it belongs.
Consequently Guiteau, declaring that
he made the assault on Garfield for no
other reason than that he was presi-
dent of the United States, is guilty of
high treason and subject TO its penalty.
Besides, the government of the Uni
ted States has right to punish the at
tempt made by Guiteau with capital
punishment on the ground of self
defense, in order to prevent in the
most eflicacious way the repetition of
such crime in the future by another
would-be-assassn. Such public foes
have to be deferred by the severest
punishment inflicted in the most terri
bic way.

DiSinfectants.

During the heat of summer the de-
cay of vegetable and animal matter is
very rapid. 1t is this that causes the
foul OdOrs which make infection posi-
bic. The Lancaster Farmer explains
that deOdorizers are efficient only tenn
porarily; hence the only rational meth
cd is either to remove the offending
material, or employ disinfectants which
arrest further decay. If the material
both arrests the decay and destroys or
absorbs the offensive odor, it is doubly
valuable. Two hundred grains of
chloride Of zinc III an ounce of water
is powerful agent in neutralizing bad
smells, and in arresting both animal
and vegetable decomposition in ships,
hospitals, dissecting-rooms, cellars,
privies, and water-closets, without
having any bad odor of its own. For
disinfecting purposes, mix one pint of
the above iluid with four gallons of
water
There are three powerful disinfect-
ants, carbolic acid with All objectiona
BILE smelly, chlorine, and permanganate
Of potash. These last two are quite
expensive. These disinfectants act by
combining with deleterious substances
and rendering them harmless, while
antiseptics prevent and arrest the de-
composition Of animal substances.

Grog In the English Navy.

From time immemorial it has been a
custom in the English Navy to serve a
daily ration of grog, and, in stormy
weather, after " reefng topsails, it used
to be the fashion to double the quantity.
It was this delightful break in the mo-
notony of sea life that furnished the
basis for most of the songs of Dibdin.
But the reforming hand has struck down
upon poor Jack. The temperance So
cieties in England have been deputa-
tionizing and petitioning the Admiralty
Board, until at last that body, in mo-
ment of virtue, has decided that sailors
under twenty shall have no grog; those
over twenty may have it if they wish, or
take out its equivalent in money, and be
served instead with chocolate, prepared
SO that it can be dissolved in water. One
can imagine the look of disdain with
which the old grog- drinking British tar
would look upon the mixture of chocolate.
1t is certainly somewhat singular drink
to offer to sailor, and one can not help
wondering why tea or coffee was not
substituted However, such as it is, the
men in the British Navy will do well to
accustom themselves to it, for the entire
abolition Of grog is now only question
of time, and short time at at.-Bos-
ton Herald.

How a Duel Was Fought.

A Paris journal, in referring to the
memorable quarrel between the Duke
de Fitzjames and M. Greffulhe, both of
them expert swordsmen, says the differ
ence of opinion was extremely slight,
but, as usual, public opinion intervened,
and the two gentlemen were compelled
to appoint seconds and consider the af-
fair as an exceptionally serious one.
The question at issue was a political
one, and had been warmly discussed at
the Jockey Club. An encounter was
declared inevitable. The Duke, who
was the intimate friend of M. Greffulhe,
determined, if possible, to prevent any
regrettable consequence. He had been
out over and over again, consequently no
one could doubt his courage. When the
two parties met on the ground, the Duke
went up to Greffulhe and said: "We
are making ourselves most ridiculous;
give me your hand, my dear fellow, and
let our quarrel drop" Never, replied
Greffulhe; ''the insult was grave, and
one or other of us must remain here"
'Is that SOP" rejoined the Duke with a
smile; "well, so be it. You can remain;
I am Off" He turned his back and
marched off in an opposite direction, but
before he had gone dozen yards Grief
fulhe ran after him and said, "Look
here, Robert, my good fellow, you are
the most reasonable. You are quite
right; give me your hand! The two
shook hands, and the champagne break
fast which followed reconciled all parties.

Friends and Onn0nents.

The Declaration of Independence was
adopted against the opposition of some
who had favored the cause of the colonies.
They regarded it as premature and
therefore inexpedient. Among these was
John Dickinson, the author of the
Farmers Letters" which contributed
much toward the American Revolution.
Mr.. Josiah Quincy tells us, in his re-
miniscences of John Adams, that he once
asked the venerable ex-President an e1-
| PLANTATION of Dickinson's course.
"He became discouraged, replied Mr.:
Adams, land for some time was one OF
( the most violent opposers of the Declara-
ton of Independence. He had wife
and mother who were both Quakers,
and they tormented him exceedingly,
telling him that he was running himself
and his country by the course he was
pursuing.

a wife, I believe I should have shot my
self. If they had opposed me, it would
have made me so very unhappy. could

Zone day in Congress, Miffiin, rela-
tive of Dickinson, had dispute with
him.
Dickinson had said, in the course of
speech, that, in driving team OF
horses, it was necessary to rein in the
most forward and to encourage the slow
and tagging.
"NIiffiin got up and said, Not so, Mr..
President. You had better knock the
dull and lazy horses on the head and put
them out of the team. 1t will go on
much better without them
''The circumstances of his family and
his own timidity made Dickinson take
the course he did He was man OF I'M
mense property and founded college in
Pennsylvania"
1t is singular fact that while some Of
the lawyers and merchants who were
members of the Continental Congress
opposed the Declaration, the clerica,
members all supported it. The leader
of the clergymen was John Witherspoon
President of Princeton College. .s
He was Scotchman, and in his you'll

American Writers and Poe as a Critic

Since the time of Poe, American itera-
ture has wonderfully advanced in the ac-
QUESTION of force and of polish. Ameri-
can novelists, for example, almost give
us lessons in careful elaboration of style,
in reticence and in well calculated eff
fects. American poets are, perhaps, too
numerous. That they get hearing, as
they do, andappeal to really large pub
lie, says much for the interests of the
people in contemporary verse In form,
in the mere art Of versifying, even the
minor American poets of to-day show
wonderful versatility and deftness. Com
monplace is much less successful than it
was of old In fiction, analysis is almost
too careful We can not but think that
this rapid ripening of the American Muse
(who was a raw, uniformed school girl in
the lifetime of Poe) is dine in part to the
influence of that critic His method is
as unlike the method of Mr.. Matthew
Arnold as possible. But he exercised
the same kind of influence. Like Mr..
Arnold, he introduced some tinge of
French. thought and of French litera-
ture into the workmanship of his coun-
trymen. Ne,US.

Rode Out His Dollar.

A jolly old fellow came down from the
mountains to spend several days at Sac
ramento. Becoming tired of footing it
about the city, he got into a street car,
and when shown by the driver the box
in which he should deposit his fare, he
dropped therein trade dollar. Then he
demanded his change, but the driver
informed him he could not give him any
unless he had paid the coin to him. For
time the old fellow was in dilemma.
His dollar was in the box and he had no
show to get it out. Finally he solved
the problem of getting oven with the
railroad company by notifying the driver
that he would use up the money he put
in the box in rides. This he did by re-
naming on the car for twenty trips, and,
armed with flask of whisky and lunch

Generally speaking, there is nothing
excruciatingly funny about smallpox;
but the doctors who are called to pre-
scribe for patients occasionally run onto
something that hckles them. Not many
years ago a doctor here was called to see
q man at one of the hotels, who lived out
in Iowa. The man was sick as horse,
and the doctor had his suspicious about
what allied him, but couldn't tell exactly,
SO he gave him something to quiet him,
and told the friend who was with him
that he would call in the morning. The
friend said he thought as much of the
sick man as he could of brother, and
he would see him through. The next
morning the doctor called and the sick
man was alone. He examined him and
found that he had smallpox. While he
was dealing out some medicine the
friend came blundering in. Said he,
Doc, that medicine amt worth con-
tinental This man is very sick" The
doctor said he had come to that conclu-
sion himself "Why," said the friend,
"I rubbed him all night. I think he
would have died if I had not rubbed his
head. When a man is my friend he can
draw on me for all that is out, and dom t
you forget it." The doctor said he was
glad to hear it. He said there was
nothing more touching to him than pure
friendship between men, and he was
glad the sick man had a friend that
would stick to him. "You bet your
life," says the friend. And then he al
most intimated that the doctor did not
understand his business, and said some
thing had got to be done, if there was
onr dootorC in Ni1woukaa that oo11ld
handle the case. The doctor was getting
little hot, and when the friend asked,
DO you know what ails him ?" the
doctor said he thought he did. Then he
pulled down the bed-clothes and pointed
to little swelling near the little toe, and
asked the friend if he could see it. "See
it OF course I can. It's only little
pimple." The doctor said there was
only one disease that showed that kline
of pimples. "What is that?" asked the
friend, impatiently. iSnaalLoor! sale
