A SENSATIONAL PREACHER.

An Eastern religious paper pab-
lishes the followin. graphic descrlp-
ton given by shrewd Scotch shoe
maker of u sensational sermon
preached by a candidate for settle
ment the Sunday before: 1T was
AN a~fu sermon. Tue preacher be-
gan in q whisper, as if he had COTTON
very bad cauId, or was ABBOTT TO
tell US some secret he did Ia care
that any body that might he stannin'
just out i the kirkyald should hear.
Then he warmed gradually ,ae his
subject, ailhuO | could no sec any
reason for t, for there was naethin5
III it. He made poiut y layin' The
malst stress on the least important
words in his sermon for fear they
should-na be noticed, and tbe big
words cauld take care O. thelrsels.
He tried both the pumphandle style
and the Bible-bumpin' dodge; an
he got cot his bit hankercher tae wipe
his eyn, or maybe just for effect.
At last he rose to the boiling pitch
and screeched till his voice gaed
clear ava up the ventllator. Army
hairt's desire an prayer to God was
oh, that he wad wheest! /
couldna had ta'en a word up as 1t
few past NY lug, Ike a red bot Can

But faith, I didna! Then his voice
fell down low again and I could hear
what he said, altho he was quite
hoarse and croupit. But TO hear
what he said were far waur than no
the hear. 1t war enough to make
ane roar DOT in agony, Hout, haul

The play shows deep originality, and
strikes common chord, sparkling
with fun an fact. The company

good artists, so that, though Mr..
Grover is looked upon as the bright
particular star, his assistants are also
of an order Of merit to support him
with high credit. No greater ap.

OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING. JULY %, 1858,
The ChehlIi> Valley Road.

Tue engineer In charge Of the
final survey for the Chen ais Valley
Railroad, has given the Itd't" al,
outline of the route. 1t saws that
the init i point of the survey is on
Budd inle,, q mile ami half be-
low Olympia. running east from
there between East Olympia and
Olympia to Tumwater; from there,
keeping III the vic. nifty of tue Black
river road, to Mr.. Young's Oh said
river; crossing the river then on to
Nina prairie, they reached tbs high
est point Oh the prairie 2lO feet
above sea-level; from Nina prairie
to the point of the Black hills,
through Camas prairie; crossing
again at II. hunters, nearly direct
from there to Mr.. Glbsou's following
the north bank of tue Chehalis to
the crossing Of the Mock Chehalis
in a direct line 10 Greenwood;
thence direct to Elma, striking it u
little south of Main Street, on the
second bench, on about the level of
Montesano; due west from E.ma to
the crossing of the Satsop just above
the ferry; little south of west from
there to 9 point little east from
Montesano, where they will rest for
the present. The surveying party is
now engaged in selecting crossing
Of the Chehalis ut Montesano; up 10
this time it has not fully decided
where it will be. After reaching
Elma tue road bed will be almost
. perfect level. The distance from
she initial point by the survey to
Montsssno is Al miles, and after
leaving Tumwater one bad place was
found on the road; at q point eight
above Elma there will be quite job
of cutting and filling. The remain
der is an easy job.
1t seems from this report that the
project is in a fair way for compile
ton at an early date, rs the meals,
it is said, have been guaranteed
by an Eastern capitalist soon as the
surveys and estimates are approved.

The Liquor Traffic.

The question OF how can the liquor
traffic be done away with, is assuming
greater proportions now than ever be-
fore, and has challenged the best and
deepest thought in the land. Not many
years ago it was thought uncivil if a
neighbor called, not to offer him a glass
OF spirits, but now the business is
mostly confined to the saloons-sume
few households still keep liquor to
their shame-and just what should be
done with the saloons does not appear
so clear. Since the days of Cain and
Abel the question has been repeatedly
asked, Am | my brothers keeper? "In
a measure, yes;" is the only answer We
can give to it, and especially is it TRUE
OF the clear-headed. sober-minded ones
who must find the best way, not the
way they would like, perhaps, but the
BEST way to save their fellowmen from
the evils of the liquor traffic. Kansas
tried prohibition, but prohibition fail.
ed to prohibit. The issue made st. John
governor, and it's failure defeated ST..
John. No matter how strict were the
officers OF the law, ways and means
were found by which the law was evad.
ed; SO that While Kansas is nominallv
a prohibitory state, the people consume
as much liquor to-day as at any time
since its organization. Prohibition
failed to prohibit in Iowa what little
time the law was in force in that state.
Ii then the people and law makers
know that a certain statute cannot be
enforced, is itwise to enact such a meas
ure? We say, emphatically, no. What
then is to be done2 1t is a well known
principle in htdrostatics that a stream
cannot rise higher than the fountain
that supplies it. Law is a rule Of ac-
ton prescribed by a superior power: in
America that power is the will of a

Gold in Dakota.

In an interview with Geo. 3. Arm
strong, register Of the Huronland office,
recently published in the Chicago In
ter-Ocean. he asserts, substantially,
that it is colder in Chicago with the
mercury five degrees below zero than
it is in southern Dakota with mercu-
ry 30 to 80 degrees below. A reader Of
the lnter-Ocean usks its "Curiosity
Shop" how this can be, to which the
following reply is made:
"ln one sense of the word, it is uns
luestionably colder in Huron than in
Chicago. But MI. Armstrong has not
left our readers in doubt as to his
meaning. He distinctly says; "With
the mercury in the thermometer as
low as 30 and 3s below zero, we do not
suffer SO much as the people in Chi
rago with the thermometer at 5 degrees
below zero. The air,is dry and comforts
able" Exposed to a high wind in
humid atmosphere not more than 5 or
degrees below zero, a person may
freeze to death, when he would endure
% or 40 degrees below zero in a dry,
still air without serious suffering. Such
air is classed among the poorest Of all
heat conductors; it belongs rather to
tion-conductors. The sensation of cold
Is due to the conduction Of heat from

forces can replace it. Moist air in

great rapidity. When the skin pores

dampen the garments and 50 render
them better conductors. The cold and
wind evaporate this moisture in the
garments. Evaporation is a cooling
process: SO when the pores are not
kept almost sealed up by steady cold
the body suffers loss Of temperature

evaporation. Observations ofthe Unit

and less subject to extreme changes

possible that. while in one sense of the
word cold, it is certainly colder in
Huron than in Chicago, in the other
sense it may be colder or not so cold
