ROBERT E. PArr1soN, Governor.
General Snowden, with the Adjutant- Gen.
eral and Quartermaster General, at oncs
proceeded TO formulate the orders for the
mobilization Of the Guard.
The National Guard is splendid!y
equipped, and as preparations have been In
progress for seven weeks for the annual en-
campments Of the different commando, they
are in admirable shape to 60 into the field. =.
The Guard consists of three brigades or
infantry, three troops Of cavalry, and three
batteries OF artillery, making well dis
ciplined army Of $500 men.
There are six gatling guns in the three
batteries and the troops are all armed with
the latest improved Springfield rifles,
breech leaders, 45.calibre, ami each man
can carry 100 rounds Of ammunition.

River Depths.

An ingenious apparatus for ascer.
tanning the depth Of rivers and
smaller streams has recently been
successfully tried on the Elbe. 1t
consists Of curved arm, hinged ut
it's upper extremity, and of il length
sufficient for the lower curved por
tion to trail on the bed Of the stream.
The greater the depth Of the stream
the more will the arm be inclined,
and hence, by suitable recording
mechanism, the depth can be auto
matically registered.

The followers of Christ will not only share
in His triumph. but it is their privilege to
assist it. Sometimes we feel like asking why
Christ did not convert men by miracle as
He raised the dead. Why does He put on us
the cost of preaching His truth, of going az
missionaries. of enormous sacrifices for His
sake? Why did He not do it all Himself,
and give us victory of His kingdom all won ?
Apart from the conclusive reason that power
does not convert men to glad allegiance to
Christ, we can see how much our effort
for His cause does to make US real sharers in
His final triumph. The citizens who wit
messed the final review Of the Union army in
Washington before disbandment, on the 23d,

ton of the triumph, but to the soldiers, who
had borne the long marches, the shock Of
battle, the experience of the hospital, that
victory had entered their souls, they felt 1t
and shared it in their inner life. Tue sacr-
fees we make for Christs kingdom are max
ing the "crowning day" towards which the
world hastens, full of glory for u.s. Watch.

TEMPERANCE.
CHURCH SALOONS.

The agitation caused by DR.. Rainsford's
advocacy of the church establishing saloons
for toe sale Of Intoxicating liquor, calls to
mind an incident related of DR.. John Pier-
points church in Boston, some fifty years
ago. In the basement was stored large
number of barrels of liquor, and some Wag,
"a assing by the church, wrote the following
lines upon the door:
"There is a spirit above and spirit below,
There is a spirit of love and spirit Of woe:
The spirit above is the spirit divine.
The spirit below is the spirit Of wine"

The following quotation feom DR.. Norman
Mcleod will be instructive and helpful to
not few souls: "My life is not what Z

for reading and for thought: It seems to
me very paradise to be able to read, to

riches of intellectual culture. God

life on what seems uncongenial, vanishing,
temporary, waste. Yet God knows
me better than know myself. He
knows my gifts, my powers, my failings,
and my weaknesses; what canI do and what
not do. So desire to be led and not to lead.
And 1 am quite sure that he has thus en-
abIed me to do great deal more in ways
which seemed to me almost waste of life,
in advancing his kingdom, that 1 would
have done in any other way. am sure of
that" 1t is a great mistake for msn who
thus gives himself up to life of service, in
the doing of little things, in performing the
numerous small duties Of life, to suppose
that he is sacrificing anything either in hap
piness or usefulness. The aggregate OF re-
suits in such service may he very great, and
of incalculable benefit to the world.

THE ALCOHOLIC APPETITE.

A Philadelphia medical journal, the
Times and Register, recently devoted almost
an entire number to the discussion Of the
alcoholic question, including the Kelley
Cure. and other methods Of dealing with
inebriety. The contributors to this medical
symposium are we'll known physicians.
Among the suggestive and valuable articies
is one by DR.. E. Chenery, OF Boston, en- tiCleu
.Thousht on the Alconal Disease, from
which we quote the following:
This magazine Of appetite in the human
breast will not explode unless struck by the
lightning of alcohol, and then it is as sure TO
90 off as keg OF powder with live coal
thrown into it.
WTberefore the whole natureof the thing,
whether in incipiency or in actual develop
ment. makes for the exclusion o. liquor.
There is no such thing as the two being
brought together without the effect; they
must be separated. And which IS the most
reasonable to do. which is most consistent
with ethical and Christian consideration. to
lug the man or to jug the rum? We can tax
the people and build asylums, aad put the
inebriates in and keep them there, or we can
do what is infinitely better, we can put their
bane far from them and let them go about
as good and useful citizens, to be blessing
TO their home and friends, AMI not. per-
petual curse. Moreover, this latter course
has the advantage over all others; 1t Will
cure and permanently cure three-tnlrds OF
such cases. and in generations to come, will
weed out the chief Inherited proclivitles To-
this, as almost to every other craze. Whas
child does not know better than To try tc
cure a burnt finger. while that finger is still
held in the fire? What makes drunkenness
is rum. What will cure drunkenness is net
the learned disquisitions about the effects OF
alcohol--the alcohol disease-but the stamp
ing out Of the cause, the putting away OF the
liquor ITSELF"
it is an encouraging sign OF the times that
an influential medical journal Of the stand
ing of the Times and Register is disposed to
devote so much Of its space to the scientific
consideration of the alcohol problem.

John Robinson's Exposition.

The memorable expression of tie
Queen of Sheba on viewing the pomp
and glories of King Solomon's court,
can with verify be used in speaking
of the transcendent splendors of the
gorgeous biblical spectacle, Solomon.
his Temple, and the Queen of Sheba
which the management of Robin
sons show produce this year on a
scale of unexampled magnitude and
splendor. No spectacle ever pre-
sented to the public can vie with it
in rich sceneographic effect; in
faithful and characteristic portrait
ures of the people, manners and
customs during the reign of IsraePs
wisest king; in pomp, in pageantry
and IN parade; in sacred sacrlficial
offerings; in lovely women; in en-
chanting ballets; in fiercely contest
ed and exciting chariot races, and in
the luxurious opulence of its costum
ing and appointments. Taken from
the grandest scenes of the patri-
archal era it cannot only interest the
biblical scholar, but the moral, the
cultured and the refined, seeking
Yfter intellectual and mind-improv-
ing entertainment, will find in this
an exhibition well worthy their at
tention. Let it be understood,
however, that this desirable aug
mentation is but one of the multi
tude of attractions to which the
Robinson show invites the patron
age of the public. Their circus has
long been characterized as the most
inviting in its unexceptionable
features and in the general excel
lence and proficiency of its ring
performances of any travelling, while
their menagerle is large and COM
prehensiye, and includes living
specimens of the rarest beasts, birds,
reptiles and amphibia. Their colossal
Roman hippodrome Is in itself a
feature that has no duplication, and
carries the spectator back to imper-
ial Caesars days. In mentioning
the enjoyment, surprises and de-
lights of this peerless exhibition it
must not be forgotten to mention
that for the special delectation of
juvenile patrons the ever delightful
and mirth-provoklng pantomine Of
Humpty-Dumpty, his Fortunes,
Misfortunes and Mishaps, will find
prominent place on the programme.
The show will exhibit at Salem on
Wednesday, August 3.

The Money Was Gone.

PANAMA (via Galveston), Aug. 2.
The steamship San Jose, of the
Pacific Mail steamship line, arrived
here last night, having left San
Francisco July Is for Panama by
way of Acapulco. The vessel was at
Acapulco on the 22d. The passen-
gers were not allowed to land, and
there was considerable excitement
on the steamship when it was learn
ed that the restriction was owing to
a reported large theft of money and
jewelry. One of the passengers, it
appears, entrusted several bags con-
tanning money and gems amount
ing altogether to $12,500 to the purs-
er, who has been 32 years In the
service of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, and whose integrity
is regarded as above suspicion. The
money and valua6les were stolen on
the voyage, but by whom is a mys-
terry. The police came on board and
made a search among both the pas
sengers and crew, but without suits

BETTER SERVICE WANTED.-T
Board of railroad commissioners in
session in this city yesterday passed
the following resolution:
"Whereas, This board has been in
formed and has personal knowledge
of the fact that the Union Pacific
company carries only a conductor
and one brakeman on the passenger
trains over its mountain divisions
between Portland and Huntington;
Therefore be it resolved that said
company be informed that it is the
sense of this board that such service
is not sufficient to adequately protect
the travelling public against liability
for accidents which might result
from such service; also that it be re-
uuested to put on two brakemen be-
tween Portland and Huntington on
all of its passenger trains"

A CHASTITY FIND.
Mechanics Find Skeleton Under
the State House Gallery.

This forenoon as Contractor
Southwick and his crew of workmen
were engaged at tearing out the old
gallery of representatives hall in
the State House, a most ghastiy
sight met their gaze. After AL.
Mize had torn up a good strip of
the floor he thought he would see
what was under there anyway, he
was shocked at finding complete
skeleton, with Deariy all the flesh
decayed from it. He called up the
boys, and hasty consultation was
had. Some decided that it
was the remains of a mem-
ber of the territorial legis-
lature, while others thought it
might be victim of the heavy de-
bates had by the last house. A full
inquest will be appointed later. Up
to the present time however, it is
believed by all who have seen it, to
be the mortal coil of some friendly
house-cat. Thomas maintains his
dignity, but his life is sealed book

ASTORIA IL EASTERN r. r.
News of the most encouraging nat
ure comes in from the vicinity of
the great tunnel on the route of the
Astoria & Eastern railway. A gen.
tleman who came in from that point
states that about 700 men are bunch
ed on the last three miles of the
road this side of the tunnel, and
that but short time will elapse be-
fore that portion of the road will be
finished. All who have inpected
the completed portions of the road
say that the work is as good, if not
better, than anything else, of the
kind in the country, and that no
expense is being spared in that con-
struction. Where the route lies
along that selected by William Reid
for the Astoria & South Coast many
changes have been made and where
Reid intended putting in trestle
work in crossing gulches Mr.. Gross
is filling in by cutting immense
quantities of rock, thereby making
the roadbed one Of the best ever
built. 1t is expected that as soon
as the first consignment of rails ar
rive here, cars Will be running from
the seaside 10 the tunnel within a
couple of weeks at farthest, as the
Messrs. Corey Bros. are confident
that they will lay three miles OF
steel daily. 1t is even possible that
the connection will be made be-
tween the tunnel and this city be-
fore the expiration of the present
year, and that the citizens may
have the pleasure of riding out be-
hind the iron horse and viewing the
picturesque scenery of the Nehalem
country, apd inspecting its magnifi-
cent timber.-Astorian.
