ulars of the loss of the Peacock.
That iil-fateI ship had made Cape
Disappointment on the afternoon of
the 17ih July, and throughout the
night experienced light airs and
ealms, accompanied by deuse fog.
On the morning of the 18th, (Sun.
day. between and s clock, the fog
cleared away, with the wind fir
the southwark and eastward, Cape
Disappointment, distant nine miles.
After divine service, at noon, the
Pcacotk tackled to stand in. The
wind now came from the southwark
aud westward weather cloudy. Cap
tain Hudson was i'll possession of q
sailing directions given by Captain
Spalding OF the ship Lousaane, to
Captain Wilkes at Oahee, according
to Which he himself was plotting the
ship. They were standing i'll, where
the passage appeared clear and
smooth both from below and alotf.
In less than five minutes, the ship
struck. Despite every effort to save
her, the ship was IA total wreck;
officers, crew, charts, books and
ships, papers were all saved. Capt.
Hudson was last to leave the ship,
on the afternoon of the Goth at 5
O'Clock.
The loss of the Peacock rendered
necessary material charge of Can't.
Wilkes programme of operations.
He transferred his penuaut to the
brig Porpoise, and with that vessel.
the Flying Fish and the boats of the
PeaeotG remained and surveyed the
Columbia river to its extreme navi-
gable point. Lieut.. Ringgold was
transferred to the Encennes. which
ship with the late officers from the
Peacock, was ordered to San Fran.
cisco to survey the Sacramento river.
Fortunally the brig Thomas II. Per-
kins, Captain Varney) from Boston
was then at Astoria. She had been
chartered by DR.. Mclaughlin, but
he released the vessel, and allowed
Captain Wilkes to purchase her.
After necessary alterations and re-
pairs she became the Oregon, and
was assigned to the command of
Lieut.. Carr.
In accordance with the instruc-
tions of the Navy Departments, all
the exploring parties having COM
pleted their assigned duties in Ore.

WHOLESALE STARvATIoN.-Th Cor
,cin, during her voyage to Alaska,
anded on st. Lawrence Island, hav-
ing orders to investigate the whole
sale starvation of the natives. AT
the first village at which they land
ed all were dead; SO also at the
second, where fifty flour dead bodies
were counted, nearly all full grown
males. At another place 450 per-
sons, men, women and children,
were dead. At the next settlement
II bodies, and at the one following 30
were found. All the inhabitants on
the north side of the Island, whore
whiskey traders sold liquors, are
dead, not one escaping. The gen.
eral starvation occurred two years
ago last winter. Since then the
presence of the Cortcin in the Arc
tic has broken up this inhuman
trading in whiskey. The empty
whiskey kegs are seen strewn all
about. The total number of dead
bodies found on St. Lawrence Island
was over six hundred. The surviv-
ors say that the white traders from
Honolulu sold whiskey which the
natives bought and got drunk ou,
remaining so during the season for
laying in their winter supplies of
walrus and seal.

JOHN BRowN's Soul. may be
recorded, to the credit of the Ameri-
can people, that the proposed cele-
bration of the memory of the fanat-
ical copspirator John Brown, at Og-
den Grove, ILL.,, on the Odd inst, was
a most abject failure. Only 800
persons were present, and the noted
individuals expected to be present
to give tone to the proceedings, with
singular unanimity, stayed away.
And so far as we can learn the pro-
posed contemporaneous celebrations
in the several States met with no
response. This is as it should be,
and shows that there is some common
sense left with the people which can
not be swayed by the prejudices and
passions of the hour. 1t is hoped
that this effort will result in allowing
that poor soul to repose in peace. II
has marched on" until it deserves O
lasting reposs.

FRIDAY EVEG, SEPT. l, 1882
The Fair.

The most sanguine of the Fair
managers did not look for large
display of stock at the present ex-
hibition, for several reasons. While
the time was propitious, SO far as
concerns the weather, it was prac-
tically impossible for many farmers
to leave threshing and other impor-
tant work to put in an appearance
at the grounds. As to horses, suck
ing colts, cattle and sheep, of su-
perior grade, the showing was fair.
In fact, the exhibition amounted to
little more then the experiment of
carrying out the details of the first
of two separate appointments; the
one for stock parade and trials OF
speed, and the other for the display
of garden and orchard products,
grains, etc. and the usual line of
mechanical industries. The latter,
to be held some time October, is full
of promise. Let the people OF
town and country once get used to
the change and we venture the pre-
diction that the annual exhibitions,
as a whole, will prove entirely salts.
factory to the great majority of ex-
bibitors and visitors.
The trials of speed, the foot races
and the bicycle tournament, alto
gether, proved a constant source of
jolly recreation and amusement.
The road leading from town to the
grounds Yves excessively dusty, but
yet, far preferable, to the cold
dreay rains of previous years. The
directors of the Association certainly
deserve much credit for their un-
tagging zeal in catering to the best
interests of our farmers, mechanics
and general exhibitors.
Preparations for the October Fair
should begin at once. Let no one
stop to inquire what his neighbor is
going to display, but all 60 to work
with right good will, and a full
determination to be first on the roll
of honor. We have q mammoth
hall, fully large enough TO accom-.
modate every department of the
usual pavilion displays. fit can
be made to appear as attractive as it
did when the first Fair was held, it
will be we'll worthy of q visit from
remotest parts of the Territory.

assume such a responsibility does
not appear. 1t is just such action,

The world seems in some danger
of becoming great coffee drunkard
if statistics are to be credited. The
consumption of the berry now
amounts to 100000, 900 pounds,
against only 675 100000 pounds
about twenty-five years ago. In one
year recently the consumption in
creased 240, 100000. The increase
throughout the world is entirely out
of proportion to the increase of pop
ulatiOn. Brazil leads the world in
production, its annual crop now be-
ing nearly 600, 900 900 pounds,
against $50, OO0, 900 pound ten years
or SO ago. The Dutch Indian pos
sessions export about $50 900, 900
pounds, the British East Indies over
14O, OOO,O 900 and Venezuela 1OO, OOO,-
600. The Antilles, Jamaic a, Martin
ique and other places, formerly large
coffee producers, have fallen behind.

MOVING CrrY.-Near the end of the
Northern Pacific Railroad track, says
the w. w. Erents, may be seen the
largest moving city in the world.
Never during the present era of
railroad building has there been
witnessed such a scene as this, which
Low presents itself at the end of the
track. There are at least 1000 per-
sons. all men, except perhaps 25,
and all bent on making money.
There are tents, shanties, caves and
/" wickyups" OF all shapes and sizes.
Order of regulation, SO far as streets
are concerned, there is none. The
valley in which Rock Island is situa-
ted is too narrow for a compact town
site for five thousand inhabitants,
hence the tents and shanties are
scattered. There can be counted
fifty gin mills or saloons, a dozen
general merchandising tents ard
shanties, and the same number Of
boarding tents.

The Hub of Progress.

Somebody has taken the trouble
TO figure out the center of population
of tue Uuitel States since 1890, and
the result affords IN interesting study
Of orr naiion's progress for nearly Il
century. At the beginning, the CEN
ter of population was - miles from
Baltimore. 1t has moved westward
at the average ra'e of about fifty-one
,Gii"S every decade, never devilting
To- ihr extent of Il degree north or
suuth of the thlIty-nlnth parallel.
The greatest progress Was between
the Years 1850 90, when it Travelled
eiYh,y-one miles from IL point III Nr-
gini. to twenty miics south OF Chilli
cothe, OAiO. This movement was
caused by the settlement OF the Pa
c!iic Coast The center of popula-
ton III 1870 WAS forty-eight miles
northest of Cincinnati. According
to the last census the centre has adj
vanced westward titty-eiSht miles,
and deflec.ed to the south about
eight, being near the village of Tay
louisville. Ky, about eight miles from
Cincinnati. 1t it anticipated that
the next census will find it in Jen-
nings county. Ind. Surprising the
westward movement of population to
continue, the central point should
cross the Mississippi about 1850 not
far from the mouth of the Missouri.
1t is considered probable, however,
that it will never go so far westward,
as there are large areas in the West
which are only adapted for mining
and grazing pursuits, aud will sup
port but scanty population. The
increase in the region beyond the
Mississippi, after the close of the
present century, may not much more
than counterbalance that of the re-
mainder of the country, in which case
the centre of population will remain
almost stationary in Southern Hi
nois.
