rifice everything else to save itself The
extent of the sacrifice is the test and
measure OF courage. don't wish 30 OBJ
trude upon the public acts and motives
of my life, but this must say that l
have lived in this world Eve times seven
years. In the first two sevens had my
childish broilsand boyish fights; at four
teen lost my only brother whose fiery
temper brought grief to my father and
brsught my brother to an unfimely grave.
Since then I have tried to avoid broils
and have lived without reproach but
without fear. There have been exactly
six Richmond Pearsons in this State
whose names have been derived from
father to SON. The last is now an infant
in his mothers arms, ana i feel that /
should have wronged him and those
who lived before me, ifI had suffered
that name to be sullied by an unrefuted
charge of coWardice preferred by man
who was my social equal, my colleague
and my betrayer.

There is nothing anomalous aboutthis. 1t Is COM
mon during atemporaiy, though extreme, refrigeration
for the mercury to range high at elevated as at low
places, sometimes higher, though both the average
and the extreme heat may be considerably, or even
much less, at the greater elevation.
The tendency to build inverted pyramids, to jump
from single case to general conclusion, is conspi-
caous in regard to climate as well as in regard to
other things Most persons think they know all about
climate in which they have passed year. Or, If
they have spent single season. they know all about
the climate of that season, summer winter spring
antaSn. They regard any investigation of the aver
snKe, OF Of the general climate, as superfuous.
Il appears that attributed to this region not
Ahsolnfe but relative mildness. The comparison is
NOT with tropical regions but with those that lie
the North. That this may be more distinctly seen

mountain near Manitau River,

WAS scorched and too hot to bear
the hand. Every living thing is
gone. Where the mountain extend

water was scnsibly heated. They
thought it smothered volcano.

that bituminous coal, in which this
mountain range in known to be rich,
has by some phenomenal means
become ignited, the vast and

A dispatch from Portland Ore
gon, dated the 29th ult., says: Yes
terday the question Of local OPT ion
was voted on by the citizens of
Washington Territory. Each pre-
cinct was to decide whether intoXi-
eating liquors should be sold within
the boundaries of said precinct. In
all the cities the measures were de-
ieated by n vote of about three to
two; in the small cities and towns
The measure was carried by
the same proportionate vote.
From the returns thus far received
it is believed that local option has
a majority in the Territory. The
