ARMY ARD EAvY.

General Francis A. Walker, in an ad-
dress at Smith College, recently took the
position that we should claim and maintain
the title "The Unarmed Nation" He
deprecated all efforts for the enlargement
of the army or the navy. In our unarmed
condition, he believes, is our strength. The
thought is not new, nor is it devoid of
force. With the worlds progress, the idea
of arbitration instead Of ornaments has
taken prominent place. Yet we believe
that the time has not yet arrived when
nations may turn their weapons into i'm
plimeuts Of peace. Arbitration at this
time finds its chief support in the armed
strength, or the capacity to arm and resist,
of the nations that consent to that
method. The war systems of the world
are not yet 20 be broken up, bnt that the
day may come when it viii be safe to
abandon them is not only possible, but is
looked forward TO by many sangu;ne phi
losophers. As opposed to the views OF
General Walker comes an account OF an
interview with General Mcclellan, who
would have the army doubled at once,
and as for the navy, in his opinion we
now have one that can neither fight nor
fee, and the sooner we float iron Glad cruisers
and impreguable gunboats the better. The
true sentiment of the people demands a
navy of strength Commensurate with our
national importance, and an army, if not
double what we now have, at least in
creased TO force equal to emergencies liza.
bic to a nation with such broad ezpsnse
of territory IS this.

WHAT A WATERFALL Is THERE

a recent discovery on the head of tho
COwiitz river reveals and establishes tina
fact that Washington Territory can now
boast OF the grandest waterfall in the
known world-its hight being 500 feet.
These fails are l. 300 feet higher than the
famous Niagara Falls. The Eookssck In.
dams assert positively that waterfalls
higher than the tallest fir, pine or cedar
tree are to be found on the extreme head
waters OF the Nooksack river, in this
county. Al that section Of the county
has never yet been explored by the white
man, there is no good reason for doubling
the statement. From the comparison given
by the Indians these falls must be at least
AIS feet in hight, which would lay over TIE
famous Snoqnalmie Falls of King county,
by at least 200 feet.-[Whatsom (W. T.

A WONDERFUL CAVE The Re6ding
Free Press gives the following account Of
a cave in the McCloud river region, as de.
scribed by enc of a party OF tourists
The writer saya that the cave is one Of
the finest as wei az the most difficult to
explore he ever saw. The entrance to the
cave is made through an areh-like door
way, and the first room presents very
striking and grand appearance. The walls
are of gray. colored lime rock, and Humer-
Gus names OF different persons are engraved
upon the walls and floor. Leaving this
room, visitor climbs by the aid of a lad
der az abrup: step some twelve feet high.
There is found a dark, narrow and wind.
ing passage, which seems to lead almost to
the bowels of the earth. The party spenl
nearly day in this wonderful cavern.
Before leaving they found dark, ugly,
deep pit, which they descended by the aid
OF rope ladder eighty feet in length.
Ohe az time the party lowered themselves
into the dreary abyss, SHIFTING their eyes
for fear Of dizziness, and never speaking
until all OF them were safely landed on the
floor. Torches being lighted, the interior
of the place seemed a palace of glittering
diamonds, the wallis covered with beau
tiful coating of frost work. Numerous
fossils were found in the room, and the
hours were most delightfully."- spent in trav.
ersing dark passages and deep pits, the
| glare of the torches bringing to view hun.
dreds OF hidden beauties. There are sev-
eral more unexplored caves in that same
| vicinity.

A MATTER OF sEIF.GovERNKRsF.


Amherst College is now in the fourth
year of the experiment of self. government
by the students. It will be remembered
that at the time of it's inauguration there
were very few who had any faith in it.
That it has succeeded, will be gratifying
news to all who have the educational in
terests of the country at heart. The one
tofore has been the intractable spirit of the
student class. 1t has seemed these many
years that as soon as young man entered
college q change came over him that
transformed him into arebel. Hehas deemed
it the chief end and aim of existence to
resist the disciplinary and police regulations
OF the Faculty. Of course this arose
very largely out of the spirit of I" fun, ="
and for which there is no other
word so suitable. To "trick" the
faculty has been deemed a worthy
achievement for any man in college, and the
same individuals have never been success
fully impressed with the truth that there
is no difference between violation of law,
and dishonesty in college life, and in other
walks. No one, except at Amherst-and
at the Illinois State University at Urbana,
where a council of students and Court
from the faculty have governed under a
constitutional and legislative system for
over ten years, and with success-has
yet been able to convince the college
student fully and conolusively that he is
under obligation and contract to obey and
conform to the police regulations of any
school which he enters, and that to thWsrt
and defeat them is phase of dishonorable
conduct. The spirit Of rebellion grew, at
one period, to such proportions that the
student class ruled the colleges, in fact, and
the college societies fatty ignored the
stewards and faculty, and set up their own
standards of conduct. It will be recalled
that few years ago this spirit of insubor.
dination became so outrageously bold, that
on some of the colleges attempting
to throttle it, the societies actually
proved too strong to be handled,
and expulsious followed that in
some cases disorganized the classes, and
compelled 3 cessation OF term studies.
But that struggle was great gain for the
colleges. The societies have not sinoe
been so strong, and their defiant attitude
has been greatly abandoned. In the Pa
cific States there has been very little of
this spirit of rebellion and mischief, and
on but one or two occasions have there
been sny serious difficulties between school
governors and the pupils. But it is only
very recently that in some of the old-time
colleges the faculties have been able to
make their police authority thoroughly re.
spected. At the juncture referred to, the
governors Of Amherst resolved upon new
policy. They determined to make no at
tempt any longer to govern the students
by special discipline, but to require the lat
ter to govern themselves, according TO a
contract which indicated the penalties
| for its violation. It was bold
step-an appeal to manliness and honor /;
an experiment in human trust. And it has
been successful, and has taken from the
instructors and college authorities much Of

Two New KINDS OF WHaAT,-The
following is from the Gridley HeroJd
In the early part of last winter William
Eagan, DIbble creek farmer, sent to Yolo
county and got few sacks of Pride of
England and French wheat, which he sowed
on the 2Sth Of January, on gravelly land. He
sowed eight acres of the former and four of
the latter. He cut both lots of grain few
days since, getting one hundred sacks of
the Pride of England and about fifty sacks
of the French wheat. The former yielded
about forty-five bushels to the acre and the
latter not quite as much. The Pride of
England is a long, round grain and about
the color of Club.head. 1t has a short
beard at the end of each MESH 1t is much
earlier than Club-head and does not thrash
out with the wind near so bad SIS it does,
and it yields about three times as much.
Both the Pride of England and the French
wheat are full, plump grains, while the
Club head is badly shriveied and is only
valuable for chicken feed. Mr. E8ean
thinks the Pride OF England is little the
best wheat, and the trial he made this sea-
son has convinced him that it is the best
wheat that can be raised in the State.
These varieties of wheas are superior to
the Club fer three reasons They yield
more to the acre, mature earlier and thrash
out less with the wind or while being
handled

TIE MEDICAL WAR.

The battle of the doctors over the con-
sultation clause Of the Code continues.
1t has broken out in Washington, and is
being prosecuted with vigor. DIR. Gihon,
Medical Director of the United States
Navy, as Vice President of the American
Medical Association, has published paper
in which he takes the position that the
Code nowhere prohibits the intelligent
physician from giving his advice to any
one whonsosver who may seek it, espe-
cislly when emergencies and dictates of
humanity demand. If he is correct in his
reading Of the Code, then all the months
of quarreling have been over nothing. But
it has not been fruitless il has brought to
the side of the liberals one cf the strongest
medical unions il the land, and great
number of the best iutellects in the
profession. DR.. Gihon has written to DR..
Wales, Surgeon General of the Navy,
giving his views fully. He holds
that while the Code interdicts any
admission of the orthodoxy of exclusive
dogmas, it does not seek to bind up in
chains the humanity of the physician, or
check action dictated by his honest
judgment of what is right to do in an
emergency. This is partial yielding by
one of the officers of the American Asso-
citation, but tits something that the liber-
alism of ideas should have even thus far
prevailed. No one asks that there be CO.
treatment by differing schools, but it is
held that there should be no inhibition as
to advice and aid demanded by patient
because even an empiric or charlstan has
been consulted by the sufferer.

very dangerous one, and, if the higher
Courts sustain it, national legislation will

visit her father, George r. Grant, who
lives about eight miles east of Roseville.
She erpected to be met at the station by

crowded, and thereupon engaged the
services of an old man named Thistle
thwaite, nearly 20 years of age, to drive
her and her children out to her fathers
place. When they had gone about half
the distance, the wagon ran into ditch
and threw the old man out with such force
that he broke mis- collar. bone in two places,
fractured his skull, and hurt him internally
otherwise. There the party had to remain
during the long hours of the night, the old
