4 Temperance Movement.
 iI-ife


 Judge William Carter, of Sheboyean, and Judge Caswell Marks, of Selma, Ala bsma, were both natives of Lexington, Kentucky. In boyhood they had jam med the same cats head in the same pitcher, stolen peaches from the same tree, got trounced by the same farmers, and were otherwise enviously intimate friends, afterwards chums at college. and then errznd-boys in the same office. Later in life they parted, and rose to sub- lime honors in their separate places. Last January they met for the first time since their parting in Kentucky, and brewed convivial bowl in honor of the event. About midnight, full of affection and enthusiasm, they retired in the same bed It vas huge affair, standing in the middle of the room, and capable oi being drawn up by ropes to the ceiling while the room vas being cleaned. it vas very cold night and they placed their clothing upon the foot of the bed. Just after they fell asleep four friends en- tered softly, drew the bed by the ropes nearly to the ceiling, and leff them sus- pended about ten feet from the floor. They then locked the door outside and retired.
 At three a. m. Judge Carter woke up with that species of thirst which usuallv comes after Kentucky punch, and techni- oaily known as aot coppers-" Leaping lightly out of bed to get the ice pitcher, he went whirling down ten feet, aiighting with soul-stining thump on all fours.
 There vas long, painful pause. Then he Peered upward through the darkness, and called:
 "Caswell .'

 "Eh !-um ?-what?" The judge was awakening.
 "I've fallen through a trap !n yelled the now aarighted judge "get up and light the candle"
 Where are you?" queried Judge Carter, sleePily, framing his opinion that his honorable brother was drunk.
 "Down here. Fell through a tran. Don't get out on my side of the bed.n All right" And Judge Marks, spring. ing out on his own side, turned three somersaults, and landed on his back. Both were now convined that they had fallen into den of thieves, and were possibly to be murdered. The iokers had closed the heavy wooden shutters so no light could enter, and removed all the furniture. The judges grouped around on hands and knees, nearly frozen to death, and only at daybreak discovered the bed, climbed into it, and get warm enough to talk the thing over
 There were recently two temperance societies started under glorious auspices. The headquarters of one is at Selma, the other at Sheboygan.

ELECTRIC STORM.

Last Tuesday night one of the most
terrific electric storms ever seen in the
Northwest occurred on the Columbia
river, between st. Helens and kalams.
An eye witness, in describing it. says
that at times the thunder was deafsn-
lug, and fash, chain and forked light
ming reft the black heavens at the same
time, and followed 50 rapidly upon each
others heels that the sky and water re-
sembled fearful flame of FIRE. The
rain fell in perfect delu9e for about
an hour, after which everything took on
that calm, oppressive stilinsss which
always preoedes California earth
quake. The radius of the storm was of
q few miles only, and those who beheld
IL will never forget its terrific gran !eur.
Portland Chronicis
The radius of the storm was not of so
few miles as our contemporary believes.

THE WHISTLE NUISANCE.
EDITOR Posr-INTELLIaENoEn:

Is it not possible to at least mitigate
the steam whistle curse under which Sc
at,le now suffers? Until this CITY shall
have SO far advanced in civilization as
to have a common and public standard
of time, each man will have time"
of his own, and every concern that com
mands steam power enough to blow a
whistle will continue to torture us four
or five times each day, for of course 1t
is idle to suggest to them to agree upon
a common time and common whistle.
Bot surely there can be no necessitv for
half of the whistling now done. OF
what possible use can it be to prolong
the sound at quitting time until the last
employee is blocks and blocks away !!
The hideous screeoh of the steam whis-
tie IS trying to the nerve of a healthy
nan who happens to be little more
finely organized than jellsfish. and it
must be exceedingly painful to the sick
and suffering. If no remedy can be
found, these disturbers of the public
peace should be checked by indictment
as public nuisance. SUBSCRIBER.

ON To BISMARCK.

IL is generally understood that the lead
ing roads Of Minnesota are all heading
for Bismarck, on the Missouri river, and
that it is only q matter Of year or so
until the Northwestern, the Rock Island

that point--on their route, may be, TO
the Pacific. Another road now comes
into notice "a heading for the same
point. OF which we hear as follows in
