HISTORY REPEATED. - The telegraph
item in this paper few days ago, in re-
gard to the Great Eastern, calls to mind
the object for which this great folly"
was built. In 1871, as all cid settlers
know. the Northern Pacific Railroad
had designated Olympia as its western
terminus, and hopes ran high of its
early completion. Portland, Me-. was
to be the eastern output of this great
system, embracing line of steamships
running from China direct to Olympia,
and the freight from them to be taken
over the Northern Pacific to Portland,
Me-, AMI the Great Eastern was to run
from there to Liverpool, the harbor..at
Portland, Me-. being the only one on
the Atlantic coast where she could be
handled in safety. A marble hotel was
commenced there IA Ia Portland, ORnel
but when the great financial crash of
1873 came, work was stopped on it, and
after standing in An unfinished state for
a number of years, it was purchased by
the Government for q custom house and
post Office. Thus We see history repeats
itself, and the bright dreams of the peo-
pie on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts
fade away, leaving nothing but the
stern reality of a railroad run by the
principal maRnates of the country in
the interest of their pOcketbook.-Oiym-

Charcoal has recently been recon-
mended as an addition to the food of ami
mails, as it increases their power Of &C
cumulating fat. and promotes the rapid
and healthy production of flesh. This
was recently proved by taking the live
weights of two lots of sheep, and simply
separating them by an ordinary net;
the artificial food, corn and cake, being
carefully weighed out to each lot alike
daily. one pint of charcoal being added
to one lot only. When re-weighed, prior
to selling to the butcher. the increase
in weight was in favor of charcoal by
l6. % per sent. Sanitation causes easy
and complete digestion; and assimila-
ton only can account for these results,
which charcoal alone can accomplish.
The charcoal should be given mixed
with the food, except in urgent cases,
when it may be mixed in water or thin
Cruel, and given as drencb. The dose
is one pint to every twenty-five head of
sheep or lambs, one-quarter pint per
head for full-grown cattle, horses or
pigs. half the quantity for young cattle,
and two teaspoonfuls to one dessert
spoonful for young calves, daily. when
suffering from disease, or in i'll condi-
ton. To keep in good health, and
fortify against diseases, the dose should
be given two or three times per week.
according to the class of food they aIe
having, and the state of the atmosphere
The best plan is to wet quantity q
bran, pollard (malt-combings); mix tbs
charcoal among it, and then among the
food you give them. For rapid and
healthy fattening of cattle, it should
be used daily among their food.
Charcoal for internal and medicinal
purposes must be pure vegetable char
coal, free from all irritating and inuri-
Gus foreign matter. The charcoal when
coming into the users possession must
be kept perfectly dry, and free from
any ill-smelling surroundings, such as
the vapors of stable or artificial ma
nures, ETC., or it will absorb them, and
thus become septic, and of no medicinal
value. 1t is better kept in a closed bin
or tin canister with a tight cover

All through the year we have the break
