THAT the people are patient and
long-sufiering is manifested by their
liberation OF the execraLle mail ia
cilities all over the Sound and Port
land routes. Letters are frequently
week in transit. from Seattle, and
the daily newspapers are so long on
the way that they are stale when
delivered to mail subscribers. The
expresses have been the only relia-
BILE means of carrying letters and pa
pers for many months past, and
nearly all correspondence is now
subject to an extra rate for the SER
vice of the companies. The Gov
eminent should afford equally as
good facilities or allow the compan.
les to carry letters without the impo-
sidon Of postage.

A River Of Hot Wafer.

The great Sutro Tunnel, cut to re-
l'eve the celebrated Cemstcck mines
at Virginia City, Nevada, Of the vast
quantities Of hot water which are en-
countered in them, affords an Outletto
twelve million tons every twenty-tour
hours, or about three billion gallons.
Some If the water, as it fluids its way
into the mines, las Il temperature Of
1S5 degrees, while four miles from
the mouth of the tunnel the temper
ature ranges from $50 degrees to 135
degrees. TO obyiate the inconve-
nience which would arise from the
vapor such vast quantity Of water
would give OF, the flow is conducted
through the entire tunnel for tour
miles, ia tight Aume Of pine. At
the point of exit tie water has last
but seven degrees of heat. Sixty
leet below the mouth Of the tunnel
the hot water is utilized for turning
machinery belonging to the company,
whence il is carried off by tunnel
eleven hundred feet in length, which
serves as a water way. Leaving this
wasteway tunnel, the water flows to
the Carson liyer, a mile and a half
distant. This hot water is being
utilized for many purposes. The
boys have arranged several pools
where they indulge in hot baths. The
miners and others use it for laundry
purposes, and arrangements are made
whereby Il thousand acres belonging
to the company are being irrigated.
1t is proposed to conduct the hot wa
ter through iron pipes, beneath the
surface Of the soil, near the roots OF
thousands of fruit trees which are to
be planted, and in a similar manner
give the necessary warmth to a num-
Der of hot houses to be used for the
propagation of early fruits and veg
ctables.

This expression seldom lasts more
than an instant, and fades into his
wonted genial and pleasant express
sion. He is by no means stolid.
His face is always an index of his
thoughts, and changes rapidly in the
course of conversation. He is an
enthusiastic talker, and acts what he
saws almost with the skill Of a pro
css;snal and yet with an ali Of per-
feet naturainess. His cheek-bones
are rather prominent, owing to his
extreme leanncss. Ills nose is prom
meat and his nostriis thin, the chin
firm set, and the mouth shuts closely,
the thin lips covering a fair set Of
teeth, with one missing in 'front.'
The only scar noticeable is just above
tae left eve. His manner Of expires
sion is striking and forcible, and
commands attention. He conversed
freely and without reserve on every
topic introduced, but seemed to take
sr cial pleasure in literary topics.
On taking our leave he requested one
Of our party to send him Poe's "Ra-
sen" and Gray's "Elcgy," remarking
that "they were grand productions.
He has the manner and appearance
of one who has been accustomed to
an active outdoor lie, and bears
rather q frontier air. T. a. w.

Something ina the Bed.

Judge Pitman has habit Of slip
ping his watch under his pillow when
he goes to bed. Oae night somehow
it slipped down, and as the Judge
WIS restless, it worked its way down
toward the foot of the bed. After 4
bit, while he was lying awake, his
foot touched it; it felt very cold; he
was surprised, scared, and jumping
from the bed he said:
MY gracious, Maria, there's a
toad or something under the covers.
| touched it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave a loud scream
and was on the floor in an instant.
Now, don't go halloing and wa
king up the neighborhOod," said the
Judge. you get a brsOm or some
thing and we'll tx the thing, mighty
quick
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and
gave it to the Judge, with the remark
that she felt as though snakes were

ooh, nonsense, Narial Now, turn
down the covers slowly while l hold
the broom and baag it. Put buck
ct Of water alongside Of the bed SO
that we can shoveit in and drown it.
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The
Judge held the broom uplifted, and
as the black ribbons Of the silver
watch was revealed, he cracked away
three or four times with the brosm;
then she pushed the thing off into
the bucket. Then they took it to
the light to investigate the matter. -
When the Judge saw what it was he
said:
i might have known; its just like
you women to 60 screeching and fuss
ing about nothing. It's utterly ru-
ined."
ct was you that made the fuss,
not me" sad Mrs. Pitman. you
needn't try to put the blame on me.
Then the Judge turned in and
growled at Maria until he went to
sleep.

Out ofLuck.

Il always told him so, murmured
the conductor, as he stood contem-
plating the wreck, while tie crowd
were busy pulling the engineer and
fireman from under the boiler; Il
always told him how he would come
cut. Now 1 hope he is satisfied
and the conductor looked around
with an air of man whose judg-
ment had been triumphantly vindica-
ted.
Told who SO? told him WHAT de-
manded the mob gathering around.
Il told him when We ran on the
Wabash together, and Iput it to him
the same way when We cluttered up
the Vandalia track so that nothing
got through for a week l said then
that it could not be done, and now |
hope he is satisfied"
"What is it? what's it all about"
persisted the survivors, wrought to
the highest pitch Of curiosity
"What did he do?'
He had a theory that if two trains
came together hard enough, one
would stay on the track and the 9th
err would 60 right over it. He was
always figuring on the amount Of
speed necessary to carry q passenger
over freight, and told he was all
wrong."
what did he claim was necessa-
ry?" asked a passenger with cynic-
al aspect.
"Forty-four miles an hour" an
swered the conductor, with bitter
smile.
"And what did you say about
that" inquired another.
Il told him he was all off, and bet
him seven dollars he couldn't do it
this trip, unless he put her up to ff-
ty-six."
"Then you win" exclaimed the
cynical passenger.
"Of course | do retorted the
conductor, "but what good does that
do me? He's dead and | not only
lose my money, but I've got to bury
him"
"Who was he? Who did you bet
with?0
my father, the engineer. He
was the meanest man on the road,
and always boosted that he would
fetch me before he laid off fer good
and as the sheriff gobbled the I'M
luck conductor, and lugged him off
