A MOVING MOUNTAIN.
An Interesting Phenomenon liza the
Columbia River.

A travelling mountain is found at
the Cascades OF the Columbia, says
the Historian. 1t is a triple-peaked
mass Of dark brown basalt, six or
eight miles in length where it fronts
the river, and rises to height of al
most 1000 feet above the water.
That it is IN motion is the last
thought which would be likely to
suggest itself to the mind of any one
passing, yet it is a well established
fact that this entire mountain is NOV
ing slowly bat steadily down the riv-
or, as if it had deliberate purpose
some time in the future to dam the
Columbia and form great lake from
the Cascades to the Dalles. The In
dian traditions indicate immense
movements of the mountains here
abouts long before white men came
to Oregon, and tho early settlers,
emigrants, many Of them, from NV
England, gave the above described
mountainous ridge the name Of ''trav-
cling mountain" or sliding noun
tain
In its forward aad downward move
meut the forests along tho base Of the
ridge have become submerged in the
river. Large tree stubs can be seen
standing deep in the water on this
shore. The railway engineers and
the traokmen find that the line of the
railroad which skirts the foot of the
mountain is being continually forced
out of place. AT certain points the
roadbsd and rails have been pushed
eight or ten feet out of line in the
course of few years.
biologists attribute this phenome-
non TO the fact that tho basalt, which
constitutes the bulk OF the mountain,
rests on substratum of conglomer-
ate, or Of soft sandstone, which the
deep, swift current of the mighty
river Is constantly wearing away, or
that this soft subrock is of itself yield
ing at great depths to the enormous
weight Of the harder materials above.

Boise Statesman,

Hon. N. b. Wiley is in the city
after an absence of ten years. He
expressed himself as delighted and
greatly surprised at the much in-
creased size and improved appear
anee of the capital city
Mr.. Wiley is accompanied by Mr.
G. +. Wood Of Grangoyille, and Mr..
Frank Smith of Welser, the three
gentlemen constituting the board of
commissioners having in charge the
construction Of the Weiser and Mt.
Idaho wagon road. They are here
TO confer with Governor Shoup with
regard to the location of the road.
The route of the wagon road will
be as follows:
From Mt. Idaho to Florence, forty
miles, thence to the crossing Of Sal
mon river, eight miles, from the riv-
er to the Warm Springs, sixteen
miles, thence to the point Of junction
with the Weiser Valley and the Long
Valley roads forty-two miles, from
the junction of the roads near the
Big Payotte lake to Little Salmon
Meadows twelve miles; from the
Meadows to Weiser City seventy
miles.
Fifty thousand dollars were appro-
pFiated by the Idaho Legislature for
the construction of the road, some
$4,000 of which will probably be con- !
sumed in building bridge across
Salmon river. Wiley thinks that
the cost of road construction will
range between 800 and $1,000 per
mile; the short section between the
Salmon river and Florence going per
haps above the latter figures.
The distance here given are from
estimates made on the present tray
eled route through the mountains.
These distances will be much short

WAEDNER News; A fight in the
water is not common sight, but
such an exhibition took place last
week at Hope, when some booms
had broken and sent the ties adrift
on the lake. The men in recover
ing the ties got into dispute over
the ownership and general row fol-
lowed. The pugilists stood waist
deep in the water, and fought, wres-
tied, knocked down and knocked un-
der regardless of all rules, while the
spectators on the shore enjoyed the
beating and duoking most prodigi-
ously.

portunity to write you short letter. My

riding over the old battle fields and visiting
the crater Many signs Of the war are still
to be seen there, especially at the crater
They have several soldiers shoes there with
the dust and bones of the feet still in them,
which were found on the battle fields. On
the evening OF the 10th we went up to Rich
mond where We spent two days in viewing
the great scenery around Richmond, the
Lee monument, and other places of note.
Then we took the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, and after a travel OF two hundred
and twentv-seven miles from Richmond We
are now drinking from the great fountain OF
the White Sulphur Springs, and breathing
the pure :.ir from over tie far famed Ale
ghany mountains.
The scenery on the c. & O. r. Il. is per-
fcctly grand. We passed through fifteen
tunnels. OF course it was not very pleas

An Event That Occurred OH the 1St of

What morning that was OF The world $
first wedding says Rev. Dr.. TalmaSe, IN

cloud. Atmosphere without a chill. Foil
age without il crnmpled leaf. Meadows
without thorn. 1t shall be in church
the great temple of :: world, sky.domei,

sparkling waters OF the Gihon and the HID
dekcl will make the fount Of the temple.
Larks robins, and goldtinchcS will chant
the wedding march. Violet. lily, and rose
burning incense in the morning sun. Lux
uriant vines sweeping their long trails
through the forest aisle-upholstery OF a
spring morning. Wild beasts standing out
side the circle looking on like family ser-
wants from the back door gazing upon the
nuptials; the eagle, king Of birds; the To-
Gust, king Of insects: the hoD, king OF
beasts, waiting. Carpet OF grass like emer-
aid for the human pair to walk on. Hum
of excitement as there always IS before 4
ceremony. Grass blades and leaves whIs-
pering and tue birds l-chatter, each one to
his mate Hush, all the clouds Hush,
all the birds. Hush, the waters, for the
King of the human race advances, and his
bride. Perfect man, leading to the altar
perfect woman. God, her father, gives
away the bride and angels are the witnesses,
and tears Of morning dew stand IN the blue
eyes of the violets. And Adam takes the
round hand that has never been worn with
worl; Or stung with pain into his own stout
grasp and says: This is now bone Of my
bone and flesh of my flesh. Tumults OF
Joy break forth and all the trees OF the wood
clap their hands, and all the galleries OF the
forest sound with carol and chlrp ana
chant and the circle of Edenic happiness
is complete, for while every quail hath an
swering quail, and every fish answering
fish, and every fowl answering fowl, ana
every beast Of the forest tit companion, Ut

How Things Get Mixed.

EDITOR MANNING TH1Es:-Some time ago
n reporter to a newspaper stated that Judge
Crawford {metaphorically choked Mr. Till
man until his tongue hung ont" Some
days afterwards gentleman met friend
and told him Judge Crawford had nearly
killed Mr.. Tillman. When the statement
of the reporter was explained he said well
saw q word | could not pronounce and
skipped it, Like the old field school ur-
chns used to do when, in reading, they
came to a word they could not pronounce,
he just swallowed" it.
Another gentleman asked how it was that
such an outrageous gambler and drunkard
as Col Earle, was a candidate for governor
of South Carolina; stating that Nlr -
had read about it in = newspaper. When
the paper was produced, and the article
pointed ont, it was found to be the one refer
ing to Gen. Early the partner OF Gen.
Beauregard IN the Louisiana Lottery. Where
is the schoolmaster? Some persons who
make no profession of religion, make great
objection to Mr.. Tillman on account OF his
profanity. God forbid that this writer
should apologize for sin in any man.
Would to God all our rulers, and all our
people, feared and served Him rs He c}n-
mands them to do. When the righteous
rule, the people rejoice; and when the
wicked rule the land mourns The Catho-
lie king of England, James the second, was
asked to make some concessions to his Pro.
testant subjects; he refused to do so, and
multiplied his unconstitutional demands.
A revolution followed, James fled from his
kingdom, and his son-in-law William, a
Protestant, and a Dutchman, was invited
to the throne. He was brave soldier
and wise statesman. He was n
good king. He was strong Calvlnist a
good Presbyterian, and did not haze Epls-
copacy. He had noble woman for wife,
but loved another woman more, and proceed It..
For more than two hundred years Eng ghsh
Protestants have thanked God for William
and Mary instead Of James the second, but
who would think for a moment that they
excused Williams adultery any more than
they excused the same sin in his CathoIc
cousin James the second?

M. Levi in Mark ct.

Mr.. Nj. Levi left Manning several
weeks ago to visit the pleasure resorts
of the North, and after getting his
long needed rest from the cares OF
business he is now busily engaged in
selecting his fall and winter stock OF
general merchandise
Mr.: Levi is one Of the most pro
gressive merchants in the State, and
believes in the doctrine of buying
goods from manufacturers direct, thus
saving the profits Of brokers and 9TH
er middle-men, and by doing so it
enables him to give his large number
of patrons the opportunity of buying
as cheap from him as they can buy IN
the city.
He has already completed his con-
tracts with some of the largest shoe
factories in the United States and III
few days he will have the finest lot
of shoes that has ever been i'll Man
ming. Some of these goods have al
ready arrived, and for style, material,
and price they cannot be eXcelled. He
proposes this year to cause q complete
revolution in the general mercantile
business in this place, and the mer-
chant that proposes to compete with
him must make up his mind to buy
so that he can sell cheap, and to be
satisfied with small profits.
The purchasing public need not sc
elsewhere this fall to make their pur
chases, because Mr.. Levi can and vii
sci! them anything they want cheaper
than they can buy anywhere else.

Children Kill Their Uncle and Hide His
Body,

ABBEv1LLE, Aug. PA horrible murder
occurred yesterday at the Clinkscales place
about thirteen miles from here. Three lit
tie negro boys, aged Is, y, and 10, killed
their uncle, Nelson Nash, for threatening to
beat them. While leaning over the fire, one
of them knocked him on the head with an
axe: then they tied him with rope to a
mnle, and dragged him some distance to a
gully, and hid him securely by covering his
body with brush.
On returning to the house they attempted
to conceal al traces of the murder. Askill-
fully arranged story was told to the aunt
when she came home from a neighbor's
house, and until this morning there was no
suspicion Of what had happened. The
body was accidentally found by the aunt,
and then the three boys confessed every de-
tail of the horrible murder They were
brought to the Jail at this place, and appear
calm and unconcerned.

Attention Merchants.

There is less advertising done by the
merchants of this town than by merchants
of any other town in the State. Is it any
wonder that their former customers are 60
ing elsewhere to trade:
People with money in their pockets seek
the merchant that has the best display OF
goods, and will sell them for the least mon
ey. They read the papers, look over the
advertisements in the papers, and when
they 60 to town they call first on the mer-
chant that has the business enterprise to
advertise his wares.
Now IS the time to send in your advertise
ments to the TINES We will give them
fine display, and see to it that they will be
read by more people than if published in
any other paper in the county.
