One of the greatest engineering
schemes Of the age Is now being con-
sidered by prominent civil engineers OF
France. IL is nothing more or less than
the ascension of .Iungfrau the Hottest
peak in Switzerland by succession of
slanting roads. The magnitude of this
undertaking will be appreciated when it
Ia remembered that Jungfrau is 1850
feet high and that only very few per
sons have ever yet succeeded in reaching
is summit. Among these was Prof.
AggSssir who visited 1t in 1871.
Robert G.. Ingersoll says there is no
such thing rs an Heterogeneous address
lie Is probably right. II there was such
phenomenon nobody would care to
listen to 1t. Any public utterance which
people will care to remember must be
the result of careful thought. The sue
cess which the most eminent 'extem
porsneous" speakers have attained in the
past has, doubtless, been due to theii
method of carefully memorikiug theiI
speeches, or the subject matter of them,
beforehand. When they spoke they had
something to say and people were GLAD
to listen TO them.

The indianapolis Journal recalls that
the importers who are now opposing the
Mckinley tariff bill, in 1883, when the
present tariff bill was pending, cried out
against the duties proposed on ladies'
cheaper dress goods, and predicted that
the imposition of such duties would en-
hancc the price of them. But the oppo-
site was the result. and all such goods
are now from 20 to 30 per cent lower
than when that duty was imposed.
There can be no denying the fact that
n sufficient number of earnest young
men are not to-day giving their labors to
the ministry. Few denominations have
ministers enough to supply all their
churches. The figures brought out at
the recent conference of congregational
lists Ia Vermont showed that of the l9s
Congregational churches In the State,
~ are without pastor, and
81 ministers supply two pulplts each.

hYDRocRAPHIc OBSERVATIONS.
Proposed EstabiIs hment Of Branch
OF the photographic office In Port
land.

Heretofore data for the United States Hy-
geographic Office In Washington have been
collected by the signal observers in this city.
That work has now been transferred to the
Light House department at the Custom
house, and Mr.. W. S. Oliver will have charge
of it. The captains of incoming steamers
and vessels. especially those from foreign
ports, will be seen regularly. All icebergs,
derelicts. unusual storms and winds will be
carefully taken note of and reported to the
photographic office in Washington, for use
by them in constructing the monthly pilot
charts issued from that office.
Commander Picking, formerly stationed
here in charge of the Light House depart
ment, now chief photographer at Washing
ton, is making an effort to have branch of
the photographic Office established In Port
land aud he has little doubt that he will
finally succeed in securing the necessary ap-
preparation. This branch Office. he thinks is
necessary, because Portland is the regular
winter port Of Canada and many steamers
arrive here In the course of the winter. Care
full reports from all these st amers are de-
sirable.

age of 55 years, was last night retired
from the department. 1t will be re-
membered that he was one of the first
men to come forward when steam engines
were introduced lin 1889, and volunteer
to be one of steamer company. He was
first pipeman of the Machigonne company
for many years, and has been captain for
the past three years. He is the only surviv-
ing member of the original board of trus-
tees of the relief association of the depart
ment. Captain Thurston carries with him
in his retirement the good wishes Of every
body whe ever knew him, and especially Of
the members of bis company, who will ever
remember with gratitude hisfatherly inter-
est in their welfare and the any welcome
lifts that his lumber team has furnished
them when they have been on the way to

These fares mean to Portland and return,
and are figured up 10 81 miles from Portland.
Kindly understands these amounts for fares
will be deducted from your purchase. The
goods will be delivered, freight prepaid, to
your nearest railroad station, and the price
of these goods will be from 80 to so per cent
less than regular prices.
To those living out of town or at distance
from Portland, here is an excellent opportun-
ity offered you. Every dry goods man will
welcome you, every clothing man will be
prepared for you and will undoubtedly make
you low prices, the hatters, furriers and
gents furnishers will be delighted to meet
You and all will doubtless place their goods
at temptation figures for this occasion; even
the hotel man will greet you with warm
welcome, so that your visit to Portland will
not only be one of profit but of pleasure.
1t would be unfair to the Portland citizens
to pay fares to out-of-town residents and
charge them the same price for goods, there
fore we shall give present of a Rug or some
other article, according to the amount Of the
purchase, which will be in value about the
same as the railroad fares.
If anything is likely to raise the present
cloud Of depression hanging over business
this should set the ball in motion; and we
