which took the premium, and they
eminently deserved it. They were

Although this country is cOmpaTa-
lively new and but recently settled,
yet limited experiments and expert
ence have proven that the soil and
climate is peculiarly adapted to the
growth Of almost all the harder var
ieties Of fruits indigenous to the tenn
perate zone. In anumber roflocalities,
where the land owners seemed desir-
Gus Of extending their knowledge as
to the possibilities of the soil, fruit
trees were planted several years ago,
and the result has shown that East
ern Washington is as well adapted
to the production Of the same as any
other portion of the Territory. or
course, the country is too young to
definitely assert what it is capable of
growing in this line, but such re-
markable success has followed the
experiments already made that it is
almost safe to say thatat some future
day Spokane county will gain as great
a reputation for its fruits as it has
already won for its grain. One Of the
most careful eXperimenters and OBJ
servers in the growth Of fruit in this
neighborhOOd is S. Davidson, the.
nurseryman, who has a place five
miles east of this city, but who ex-
poets to move In nearer town. Mr..
Davidson has been engaged in fruit
raising for over twenty-five years,
most Of that time in Iowa, and knows
something about the business. He
came to this country three or four
years ago, and at once started in on
trees, securing his stock from Walla
Walla. The young trees and vines
have already commenced bearing; in
fact, having borne last year and the
year before to some extent. Mr.. ID.
was in the office Saturday with speci-
mems Of the fruits that are the results
Of his labOrs. He presented two vari-
cites of grapes, the Delaware and
Clinton. They are both excellent
table grapes, and also make good
wine. The soil seems to be the very
best for the vine, as the plants that
he has set out have done exceedingly
well, and there is no reason why the
sunny slopes of the hill lands of the
county should not at some future
time be vast vineyards. The grape
can be grown profitably anywhere the
vine will thrive. Some Of the wealth.
lest people Of the Napa Valley, Mis-
sion San Jose, and Los Angeles
county, California, owe their pros
perity to the cultivation Of the vine.
1t is bound to be profitable industry
in this country when people once take
hold Of the business. Both the Del
aware and Clinton are hardy vines,
and have survived the most intense
cold when properly handled. The
latter grape can be kept four or FIVE
months without losing its sOundness
and flavor. Thespecimens were taken
from three-year old vines, and were
hardly ripe, it being somewhat early
for them. Mr.. Davidson also showed
US a fine, large Downer Seeding
apple, handsome in appearance, juicy
aud very palatable. This apple is
from tree four years of age. II is
a-hardy tree, solid fruit, with good
record for keeping, and a prolific
bearer. He had magnificent sample
of the transcendent crab apple, a
beautiful fruit and exceedingly pleas

ant TO the taste. Mr.. d. has every
confidence in the adaptability Of this
soil to the production Of fruits Of all
kinds, and will therefore make still
greater investments and add more
largely to his nursery next season.
He will procure his stock directly
from the East, and will try greater
variety than he has heretofore. 1t
would be a wise policy for every land
owner to set out fruit trees and vines,
and then In a few years there would
be any quantity Of fruit in the mar
ket. The growing is worth trying
anyhow, and we are satisfied that
more attention will be paid to it here
after than has been in past years.

Last Friday night the train COM
ing west cut the left arm off an In
dian near Sand Point. Itsccms that
two Indians were on a railroad tres
tie near that place when the train
came in sight. The Indians ran for
firm ground and just as they reached
it one of them fell with his arm
across the track. The train was 50
close upon them that before he could
get out Of the way one wheel passed
over the arm near the shoulder,
mangling it in a most frightful man
ner, the arm hanging by a narrow
shred of flesh. The wounded man
and his companion were taken on
board and brought to this place.
Here the unfortunate savage sat up
until morning, when he walked to
DIR. MOrgan's Office. Drs. Morgan
and WhitehOuse consulted together
and decided upon taking the arm off
at the shoulder. The operation is a
dangerous one under any circum-
stance, and in this case, when there
was little or no flesh with which TO
make a flap, 1t was more than ordin-
arily delicate. The Indian was put
under the influence Of ehlorofrm,
the shattered bones together with
the shoulder joint removed and the
mangled flesh cut away. 1t was a
horrible sight and only an Indian
COULD have survived the operation
after the great loss of blood and the
terrible shock. His friends procured
b competent white nurse, and every
Ahing was done to bring him out Of
the scrape, but the injury was too
great even for an Indian to recover
from. Up tOTuesday mOrning,there
were hopes of his weathering the
terrible shock, but that morning DR..
Morgan pronounced the case hope
less. He died Tuesday evening,
modification having set in fastening
the end. The fellow was a Pend
d'Oreille Indian, and with the pro-
verbal characteristic Of the breed
stood up under the pain of the injury
with wonderful sUOicism. In fact he
became tired Of waiting for the doc
tors and asked for a knife so that he
might remove the injured and use
less arm, when this was refused he
became angry and attempted TO leave
the office. He was unconscious for
48 hours before he died.

/ But this doctrine has even wider
truth. The souls Of animals are like
wise transmigrated into the bodies
Of creatures who have the semblance
Of human beings. Your body is to-day
animated by the soul Of a stupid An
dalusian jackass, crossed by IA mon
grel breed Of which natural history
gives us no Information. From these
sources you derive the profundity Of
your wisdom, depth Of thought, vast
and unbOunded logical deductions,
and unsurpassed confidence in your
self-sufficient powers to mislead the
multitude. Proclaim this fact to the
public at large in your next lecture,
and you will ensure the greatest-sen-
sation in your most pventful life"
The evolutionist replies: 'If | am
indeed but the walking and human
tabernacle Of so despicable a brute,
how does it come that the members
of Plymouth Church, uphold me as
their leader and spiritual guide, and
the multitude at large flock to hear
me, and do not grudge spending
their dollars and time, while inn
pose my sceptisms and absurd ideas
on them ?" i.
"There, Beecher, thou hast me.
There must bea great many trans
migrated souls Of Jackasses in the
Brooklyn congregation, as well as in
the country ut large, to make such a
result possible. Ask me something
easier, my brother, your cOnnundrum
is too hard. You are part of the
universal cosmos and your present
position can only be accounted for,
owing to the above causes"
At this stage Of the dialogue a sta
BILE man approached with a lantern
in his hand, and the great philos-
CIPHER and orator fearing his conyer-
sation with the jackass might be
overheard and the knowledge thus
obtained made use of to cast ridicule
on him, relapsed into silence, (after
having received Il warning bray from
his brother jackass,) went musingly
back to his hotel a sadder if not
wiser man.
His reflections were the following:
"Iow comes it that my presence
aroused this poor mule to remind
me of the ridiculous position in
which my present sophistries have
placed me before the public. that
have been preaching evangelical
doctrines for more than quarter of
century, and thus teaching that
divine revelation was the sole rule
of faith, should be reused by his
brute voice to endure the horrors of
such doubts. What if this theory of
evolution should work both ways,
and the unfolding in me has ceased,
and l am now retrogn,ding into the
degraded brute creation from whence
l sprung ?"
These surmises overwhelmed him
in doubt, and difficulty, which
caused him to cry out wIad l served
my God as faithfully as l have ca
tered to public opinion, and my pas
sions, would not be tortured with
remOrse of conscience which assails
me now. But too late, too late, the
fiat has gone forth, and retribution,
Nemesis-like, must inevitably fol-
lOw." J. NJ. 7.

Last Saturday we enjoyed a long
and pleasant call from Hon. b. S.
Cook, of Owatonna, Minnesota, who
was on his way home from the Sound,
where he had been spending several
weeks looking about the country.
Mr.. Cook is an intelligent, observing,
experienced gentleman, and was a
leading actor in the early history OF
Minnesota. He has spent a quarter
Of century in that State has seen
it develop intOa a wealthy and popu-
lous commonwealth from a condi-
tiOn of absolute wildness, and his
interests have been linked with 1t
and he has prospered by its growth.
Being a pioneer himself, and man
who weighs well every advantage
and drawback of a new country, his
opinion is more than commonly
weighty when given upon the possi-
bilities of any certain locality. He
has taken plenty Of time to examine
Washington territory thoroughly,
and now on his return home is able
to speak upon the subject intelligent
ly. Mr.. Cook stopped at the Falls
in July, and was so favOrably i'm
pressed that he invested in property,
but not as extensively as he would
havedone had not the prices been held
so high, He was agreeably surprised
at the improved appearance of the
city even in less than two months,
and particularly so when he noticed
that great many Of the buildings
had been painted or white washed.
He dwelt upon the superior attract
iveness of a town, and its appear
ance Of thrift, where paint is freely
used. Speaking of the character
of the buildings in process of
construction he said that they
were far ahead Of those Of any city
or town he had yet visited. Accus-
toned as he has been to seeing the
finest Of architecture yet he eX-
pressed surprise at the massiveness
and extent of the iron work that is
being put into the brick houses now
under way. He freely stated that it
is his private opinion that Spokane
is destined to be one Of the most i'm
portlnt points on the Northern Pa
cific railroad, not only on account of
its incompatible water power, but
from the fact that is 50 located as to
make it the natural distributing
point for q vast extent Of territory
extending out IN every direction.
Mr.. Cook feels so well convinced that
the Falls is ultimately TO be large
city that he intends to return next
spring and may probably locate here
permanently. Ifhe does there will be
a large number Of acquaintances
come withhimA The late disastrous
and fatal storms that visited his
home will be an incentive for people
to move into n country where the
cyclone is a stranger and the blizzard
is unknown. We hope Mr.. Cook
will have no reason for changing his
mind, and will conclude to carry out
his plans, for such additions to our
population Is just what is wanted.
He can't come too soon, nor bring too
many with him.

Queer Family con.plications.

In the suburbs of Paris there lived a
short time ago, wealthy widower,
who was blessed with an only son.
Thisyoung gentleman took somewhat
lax view of morality in general, and
was living with a lady whose finger
was adorned with no wedding ring,
but was nevertheless the mother of his
two children The father was kind
hearted and unworldly old man, and
constantly impressed upon his son the
advisability of marrying the lady and
thus according to French law legiti-
mizing his children. The son, however,
did not take to the idea, and at last the
anxious parent, deeming that he was
at the point OF death summoned him to
his bedside, and declared that unless
be at once married his mistress he
would do something hat his son would
afterward regret. The son remained
obdurate, and the next day his father
sent for the cure, and himself went
through the form of marriage with the
lady in question. Having thus done
what he considered to he his duty, he
died and was buried. His son then
found that his own children had been
converted into his stepbrothers. and
inherited with him and their mother
equal shares Of the paternal estate. If
he is wise man, therefore, he will at
once marry his fathers widow; but he
can hardly marry his stepbrothers; so
at least half of the property which
would otherwise have been bis has
been sacrificed to his obstinacy.-L0n-
