ABOUT ALASKA.
Further Report from Capt. NJ. A. HeaIey,
OF the Revenue Marine Service.

Further Report from Capt. NJ. A. HeRley,
OF the Revenue Marine Service.
M. A. Healey, captain of the United States
revenue marine steamer Corwiu, writes to
Secretary Folger from San Francisco, under
date of Oct. 0, reporting his arrival at that
port. He says he stopped at st, Georges on
the way south, aud found there the schooner
n. Turner, owned by the Alaska Commercial
company. She had been Off the island for
thirty days, unable to load seal skins, owing
to the very stormy weather. Subsequently,
she was successful in her mission, and re-
turned to Ounalaska with cargo of 5000
skins, having been at st. Georges forty-soVen
days. Capt. Healy's report of the movements
of Lieuts. Ray and Schwatka has been an.
ticpated by telegraph.
Capt. Hoaly says further that Lieut.. Ray
reported the loss of the whaling bark Cyano,
McKonna master, Off Point Belcher, Arctic
ocean. Although the vessel was a total loss
all hands and the entire cargo We're saved
Ilo also reported that up to Aug. 30 the entire
catch Of tho whaling fleet was but nine
whales, and that the ice was heavier and
lying closer in shore than for years past
The scarcity of whales has made the whale
men quito Venturesome and Lieut.. Ray APP
prehonds from the condition of the ice and
position of the whaling fleet at the date OF
his departure from Point Barrow, Aug 20,
possibility of some of them being caught
in the ice and compelled TO winter in
the Arctic. In such an event, Capt.
Healy says tho coming spring would bring
an urgent appeal for a cutter, and he recon-
mends that tho necessary arrangements be
promptly made In concluding his report
Capt Healy says; "From Mr.. Sohieillin. the
head man of the miners, who loft San Fran
cisco eighteen months ago to prospect the
Yukon district of Alaska, learn that, al
though he has thoroughly prospectcd up the
Yukon river for upward of 1000 miles, no
gold in paying quantities has been found.
Fine gold was discovered in few localities
yielding from SO to SO per diem, but this
amount was entirely inadequate to deiray the
eNnensos of mining in Alnskn.

Straw Lumber.

The Iron Age: The other day we
had occasion TO investigate pretty
thoroughly the character, proper
ties and uses for straw lumber. AS
some of our readers know, this is an
article manufactured at the west.
and turned ont in boards or sheets
thirty-three inches in width by
twelve feet in length, and of various
thicknesses. 1t is heavier than
black walnut, has no grain, is of
the color of straw-board, though
considerably darker, and is much
stronger and sitter than ordinary
timber. Though made in consider
able quantities at the present time,
the supply seems hardly equal to
the demand. There are advantages
in this material which in the near
future will probably make it of the
highest value, not only for carpen-
ters and architects, but for the car
builder, and, in fact, for mechanics
generally. It's toughness, the firm
ness with which it can be cut, and
the fact that it can be bent by the
aid Of heat, shaped in dies, and is
not liable to shrink and warp,
and is little affected by water, even
when unprotected, makes the range
of its probable uses extraordinarily
great. 1t seems to be a non-con-
ductor of heat and electricity. 1t
can be rolled up into pipes of great
strength and light weight, and is
available for a range of uses for
panelling purposes for which we
have no equivalent.

Cain Crazy and Acnnittad.

Seeing that several murdererS have
been acquitted lately upon the plea
of insanity, and knowing as we all
do, and have known for years, even
here in Franklin county, how often
shrewd lawyers bring in this plea,
we begin to consider the suggestion
that for more than five thousand
years mankind has been doing in
Justice to Cain, who killed his
brother. We have all convicted
him without judge or jury. True,
there were no people from whom to
select jury, but may there not
have been some palliating circum-
stances? If Cain had had the ad-
vantages of that great right of trial
by jury which King Alfred is said
to be the author of, and which is,
truly, the best calculated for the
preservation of liberty and the ad-
ministration of justice Of any
scheme ever devised by thew of
man;-we say, if Cain had had this
advantage, might there not have
been a plea OF insanity set up for
him that would have cleared him
Suppose Tom Gregory, Capt. Bran
nan, or Gov. Marks, or John Sim
mons, or Ross Curtis, or John Mar
tin, or Matt Whitaker-any of our
lawyers in Winchester had been
there. They would have acquitted
Cain upon the plea of insanity
our word for it They would have
called the attention of Judge Will
liams to Gains last recorded words,
which were: every one that find
eth me will slay me-" Is this the
utterance of sane mind? Every
one that findeth me shall slay me
Gentlemen OF the iuryp Cain at
this point was not only crazy-he
was the craziest man that ever ex-
listed! No ordinary lunatic, however
preposterous his terrors, expects to
be killed more than once! All this
shows that this poor lunatic, Cain
was unconscious that Adam was
the only other man in the wide
world. In his insanity Mr.. Cain
has created an immense population

Brains are the Best Tools.

Many of our readers will remem-
Der how the mammoth steamer,
Great Eastern, was saved from ship
wreck few years ago by the skill
of an American engineer, who hap
pened to be a passenger on board.
Some arrangement of the rudder
had occurred during a severe storm.
The huge structure became un-
manageable, and was being help
lessly rolled about like a log by the
furious waves. The ships carpen-
ters had exhausted their ingenuity
in trying to remedy the defect, and
the case seemed almost hopeless,
until Mr.. Towle, the American re-
ferred to, contrived a very simple
apparatus, by which the sailors were
enabled to control the ships move
ments, and bring her safely to port.
He had learned how to use his
brains. A young man lost the use
of his right arm by paralysis; but
his brains were left, and right
serviceable he made them. He
trained his left hand to guide the
pencil and brush of the artist, and
his name already ranks high in the
profession. A blind man invented
one of the most successful attach
ments to the reaping machine. -
Brains do the work.

stitution, I suppose the charge fol
my keep here'll be high, young
man?"
''There is no charge. 1t is a fre'
hospital"
$50! SOP grumbled the old fellow
to himself, turning over in bed.
The next day he left the hospital
while Philip was at dinner, without
word of farewell.
$50 that is the end of it, " thought
the doctor. This one great strug
gle of his life had cost him so mucl
that he could not understand how
the man who mad gained by it could
be Indifferent. Il wish he had said
goodbye. at least. But no matter. .
The next week, the superinten
dent sent for him. "WhO is John
Sands, doctorY' he asked as soon as
Philip opened the door.
"a poor old countryman who was
in my ward; discharged last Tues
day."
"Poor, indeed! 1t was DR.. Sands,
as it turns out-Dr. Sands OF
Schollsburgh. The old man has
had all the practice of that country
forty years, and has amassed a for
tune, but he chooses to go about
dressed like a beggar. He was
mistaken for one and brought in
here, it seems. He incloses a check
for a hundled dollars for the hos
pital, and says he doesn't choose to
be indebted even to an institution. -
"Well done for Sands p laughed
Philip.
"He has done better than that, !"
said the superintendent, with a
twinkle in his eyes. "Sit down a
minute, Wharton. The old doctor,
it seems, is feeling his age, and
wants to take some young man in
as partner, to whom he can leave
his practice in year or two, and he
has fixed upon-upon-well, Whar-
ton, he has fixed upon your
"Mc!" and Philip sprang to his
feet.
"You. Yes, 1 said you. You
have made the old fellow your
debtor in some way, by favor,
which he says he can never repay.
Besides. he says he watched you
closely while here, and approves of
your system, your manner, and
above all, your infexible devotion
to your duty. There is his letter.
"You see, he says he wants you
to come in September; and to bring
a wife with you if possible. A
married man, he says, is always
more successful. Eccentric old fel-
low, 1 fancy?"
But Philip did not answer. He
was buttoning his overcoat with
trembling hands. "Excuse me-" he
said, "but there is friend to whom
I must tell the good news" and in
moment more he was on his way
to the book.shop and Susy.
DIR. Wharton is now the principal
practitioner in Scholl County, and a
happy, successful man. Il gained

Scran Books.

Charles Reade, as everybody
knows, is a firm believer in scrap
books, and has an immense number
of newspaper clippings, properly in
dexed, from which he obtains much
of the materials for his stories.-
Rev. DIR. Talmage finds many illus
trations for his sermons IN news
paper articles, and Henry Ward
Beecher has trunks full of old pa
pers. The late President Garfield
drew many of the anecdotes and in
cidents with which he 9raced his
speeches from large collection OF
scrap books, and Girardin, the
French editor, probably carried the
system to greater perfection than
any other man, having whole rooms
filled with index clippings.

Constantinople has the largest
record of fire in the world. In 90
years ending 1870 her great fires
footed $326,OOO,OOO, burning 1000
buildings. Chicago comes next
with one great fire that destroyed
$4,000 buildings with $2OO,OQ0OOO.
From the great London fire of
1866 in which $4,000 building were
burned, covering 136 acres, with
$50, 100000, down to The $1Q,000,00O
fire in Yeddo in 1876, the world suf-
fered 80 fires that footed up $1,424-
500, 900 with 24S, 500 houses burned.
