These prtdic;ioIs, notwl,hstapd-

son that calantUus season fole:oid
as an attendant Of planet ~ con
junction has ahead i'll Il great de-
gree appeared. DR.. Wild, a Toronto
clergyman, finds i'll the 5Ist chapter
of Luke, 18th aud 2Gth verses,
enough of prophecy to give an un-
qualified support to the Professors
predictions. The Doctor alludes to
the terrible disasters which attend
ed Il periheiiou of three of the planets
in 542 and 1865, and argues that the
conditions can be but augmented
now when four planets are disturbing
the primary laws which govern the
Universe. Jupiter was in pelihelion
in the Autumn of 1850, Mars in the
Spring of 1881, Neptune i'll the Win,
ter of the same year, Uranus in the
Spring OF 1882, and Saturn will step
into line liz the Autumn of 1885. 1t
appears from this that we are not
soon to emerge from the sea of des-
pondency, and that We must make
up our minds for continuation of
the chapter of horrors for some time
to come.
Let us hope, however, that this
odd planet, occupying as it does an
anomalous position, may be an bar
binger of peace and prosperity in
stead of dissention and disaster. Ii
is unusual at least, and may be sent
to restore the disturbed equilibrium
produced by the former planetary
influences. If mundane affairs 60
from bad 10 worse two years longer,
there would be little for the small
remnant of humanity which survives
to live live for, unless some compen-
sating blessing should result quite US
much out of the natural order OF
things.
BE this as it may, we will soon see
whether Prof. Wiggin is true OF a
false prophet, and whether after all
we had not better rely in such mat,
tiers upon Old Probabilities.

GERMAN CARP.

The Government Fish Commits
sioners have sent a carload of fish,
of the kind known as German Carp,
TO this coast, for free distribution.
1t is too late now, for us TO obtain
any of this carload, but any one
who has suitable water can procure
them from the Commissioners, and
in time have a new and delicious fish
always on hand. They are said 20
grow very fast, are hardy and very
fruitful. We trust that our county
will make an effort to obtain some
OF these fish. fol our ponds are al
most useless as far as growing fish
is concerned and they can be made
very profitable.

A PRIVATE letter from Gray's har-

"A force of 16 men is working the
gold out of the black sand on the
beech, which pays well; the miners
will lot tell how much. We will
have a railroad here from Olympia
this Summer, and wharf on the
South Point where the best anchor
age is. What we most want here is
E lighthouse, and buoys on the bar,
where there is IS feet at low water,

The Oregontan, in abiding to the
removal of house on Washington
Street, Portland, says that the Times
newspaper, started at Milwaukee, in
1850, was removed few months
afterward to the former city and
published in the building which is
now compelled, i'll obedience to the
law of progress, to move further
back from the business center. The
fact is the Times occupied the second
stcy of a building on Front street,
,near Morrison, we believe,) several
months, and afterwards rooms in the
upper story of the rt-house,
further up the same street, and it
must have been several years after
wards before it was domiciled under
its own roof on Washington Street.
Such errors are, of course, unimpor-
tant, but it is we'll to be accurate in
all matters of local historical intel
est, especially when the truth is SO
easily obtained from those having
personal knowledge Of facts.

LIVING FOR A WIFE.

In many of the Greek islands, the
diving for sponge forms consider
able part of the occupation of the in
habitants, and it has been done from
the most remote antiquity. Hassel-
quist says: ''Himia is little and
almost unknown island, directly op-
posite Rhodes. 1t is worth notice.
on account of the singular method of
the Greeks, Inhabitants of the island,
have to get their living. In the bot
tom of the sea the common sponge is
found in abundance, and more than
in any other place in the Mediter'
ranean. The Inhabitants make it a
trade to fish up this sponge. by
which they get living far from con-
temptihle, as their goods are always
wanted by the Turks, who use an
incredible number of sponges at their
bathings and washings. A girl in
this island is not permitted to marry
before she can give proof Of her
agility by taking them from certain
depth" In other islands the same
custom prevails, but with reserved
application, as in>Nicarus, where the
father of a marriageable daughter
bestows her upon the best diver
among her suitors. "He that can
stay the longest in the water and
gather the most sponge marries the
maid.'' d.''-Fireside at Home.

would vie with each for the glory of

"Fhis plan does not limit the power

tend that if the power to devise

tent, all riches above those sums
would be distributed almost as rapid.

before the ''Orisin of Species" had
been published but it remained for
Darwin to produce the chef d'ouure
and become the immortal exponent
of the new system of science What
ever may be thought of his Descent
of Man." the debt which science owes
20 its author must ever remain great
into what domain of nature has his
eagle eye not pierced Geology,
Zoology, Botany, Biology have all
become debtors 20 his labors and ge.
MUS. He has broadened the horizon
Of scientific thinking to all men and
added new light to the odern sky.
The remains of Darwin now rest
in the great Abby where sleep those
who have won England's fame. 1t is
fitting that he should take his place
by the side of Newton, as his ''Origin
of Species goes on along side of the
Principia to fulfill the mission in en-
tightening mankind. And so truly
we're his DAYS spent in labor that he
may fitly be said to rest. His time
was extended beyond She limit of or
linary man and all strictly devoted
o the object to which he was we'd in
| Early life. AS worker he is almost
without parallel. 1t is but a frag-
;nent of his labor to say that he spent
wenty mine years in studying for
md writing the great work which has
already been mentioned. His patient
industry is little less apparent in the
| act that he continued series Of ob.
servations on the unattractive earth
worm (Lumbricus terrestrisI over a
period Of forty years, aud then wrote
its biography.
AS patient toiler in the realm Of
science, as cautious sitter of ma
lures evidence, Darwin will remain
a model to all coming men of scien-
tific study and while they follow in
the lines he has wrought, little hope
is left that they will surpass him for
many years to come, unless it he in
learning that
The works of God are fair for naught
Unless our eyes, in seeing,
See hidden in the thing the thought
That sanimates its being.''

SHADOW OF THE w0RK1NGMAN.

Behold the swiftly flying boat
In conscious might it steamS along;
With graceful lines and power ul frame.
1t proudly bears its living throng.
To distant lands it ploughs its way,
And to the many wealth doth bring
Its tidings from the absent friends
Are welcome as the smiling spring,
You see it cleave the restless wave,
And know old oceans space twill span
But. cast Ger all. can you behold
The shadow of the workingman
See. on the locomotive rush
With headlong speed DER iron road,
Like living, breathing mons'er, whom
Some unseen powers onward gOad,
Through cities, towns, and shady delis,
Ger gurgling streams and woodland
glades
1t speeds you on with clang and roar;
Ay. meath the mountains gloomy
shades
With ease it quickly bears along
Pilgrims of every tribe and clan;
But o er each t1eeting view dost see
The shadow of the wOrklngman
Gene. gaze upon this mighty pile.
The spire OF which in cloudland dwells
Kissed by the setting sun S last ray,
AS gently chime the distant bells,
Come view its grandly massive walls,
It's pillars. halls, and arches true,
Which are so neatly. deity wrought
Without Ole flaw to meet the view,
Der all this blended strength and grace,
AS round it zephyrs gently fan,
Can you not see. in outline bold,
The shadow of the worhingman
10 seek the lofty mountain height,
And there behold the glowing scene
| The forest. field. and waving grain,
The rippling lakes, the meadows green
| Each beauty of the prospect view,
All thronged with useful, busy life,
! Where once the gloomy wilds were seen
Where savage revels once We're rife.
90. look upon all earth's broad face,
Replete with art and natures plan;
And there, in bold relief, you'll see
The shadow of the workingman.
