The other night a passenger chang
ing cars at Hsrper's Ferry was leaning
against the railing on the river side,
when train came along, and, fearing
he might not be safe, sprang lightly
over the railing, having mistaken the
river for meadow. His summing
smazement may be better imagined
than described when, after q fall of
twenty or thirty feet, he sank in ten
feet of muddy, swift-running water.
He, however, had sufficient presence
of mind to keep his head above water,
and was carried down TO the bridge,
where he drifted against pier, and,
climbing to a ledge, called for help.
When he was rescued he refused to
tell anything about himself. Fortu-
nstely the river was high, as generally
the spot where he fell is bare, had it
been so then he would have been
killed.

On the 31st Of August, 1865, the debt
of the United States reached its high
est limit. The actual reduction of the
interest," bearing debt since that date
has been about S725, ,OOO, 200, and the
annual interest charge has been re-
duced from $3.50, ,977, 1893 to $61, ,O52, 1T,
or 500, ,O00,00 In round numbers.
The Nation New York; says that
the recent report Of the treasurer of
the United States Is probably the most
extraordinary document ever presen-
ted to political community. There
was q surplus revenue last year Of
over 500, ,0tO, 900, aud the revenue in
creased S27,0O0,0O0 over that of the
year 1880. Over S55, 900, 900 was spent
in reducing the pulic debt. The stock
of gold and silver In the treasury has
risen to $3.50, 100000, the amount of
gold having increased over $50, ,000,-
600 since 1880, and that of silver over
Sic, 6,0O0,00O. Putting aside the green
backs, the demand liabilities OF the
treasury fall below its assets by over
STAG, ,O00.0O0. The fund for the redemp-
ton of the greenbacks Is kept at about
40 per cent. of their total amount,
which is $780,, ,539.65. Nopublic finan-
cier has ever had such q story to tell.
No other nation ever got its finances
into such comfortable condition ex-
cept by robbery.
This has been accomplished, too, in
spite Of great disadvantages. The
country Is carrying \ heavy load of

The discovery OF u deserted city six
miles long, cut off the face of n wind
Ing cliff, rewards the efforts of Steve
son Of the Smithsonian Institution
exploring party, during his researches
in New Mexico aud Arizona the past
season. This by far the most import
ant find yet made among the ancient
haunts Of the cliff .dwellers. Some
Of the houses contain four or five
dwellings, one on top Of another, and
on the plateau above the cliff were
found many ruins Of temples Of wor-
ship built of we'll cut square stones.
A comparison Of the collections OF
pottery and implements gathered in
the cliff houses by theexploring party
with those obtained In the Pueblo
villages, strengthens the theory that
the Pueblo Indians are degenerate de-
scendents Of the once powerful race
that built the ruined cities OF the
plains, and then retreating before
some warlike foe, carved out these
singular dwellings In the sheer walls
of dizzy precipices, and found In them,
1t may be for centuries, both fortresses
and homes. Perhaps II the hero
glyphic inscriptions seen by Mr.. Steve
sou will one day be deciphered and
be found to contain the tragic history
of wasting away by wars and famines
of this ill-fated people, who, like the
Coneys Of the bible, made the rocks
their refuge.

done under Sec. 245l r. S. The cost
Of the field was fraction less than 4
cents r>er acre. The "Big Bend" of
the Columbia river Is attracting the
attention Of immigrants; along the
Columbia there is sufficient pine tim
ber for fencing, fuel or building pur-
poses. The only objection to the To-
cation is the distance from market,
but this will soon be obviated. Pri-
vate as we'll as public improvements

erty has increased in value. the nat
ural resources Of the country are bet

seeking investment In the different
industries, and the rapid increase Of

soon becoming state. The Territory
Is free from debt and has o surplus of
over $50, ,OOO in the treasury. There Ia

Cascade mountains, and little at
tention has been paid to he cultiva-
tion of timber there. Thecoal mines

both bog and hematite ore has been
found In large quantities, and some
of It Is very rich. Coking Goals and

convenient for the manufacture. The

bor that il may be possible to obtain.

II. n N. Co. will complete its road

Roseburg, extending It's road to Ash
land by the close Of 1882, II the labor
can be had. Besides all this. the
Northern Pacific will be pushed across
Northern Idaho and into Montana.
Twenty thousand men will be wanted.
The only reason To fear delay in con-
struction arises from the probability
that not nearly the amount of labor
wanted can be obtained.
