LincOln'S Letter.

President Lincoln, April IA, 1865
the day OF his assassination, wrote the
following letter TO Schuyler. Colisx,
who was at the time visiting on this
eoast. It was his last public writing
and voiced his sentiment regarding
the west. Rend what he says:
Mr.. CoLFAX. Il want you To take q
msssnge trum the to tha miners whom
you visit. I have very large ideas of
the mineral wealth Of our nation. 1
believe IL practically inexhaustible.
II abounds all over the western coun-
try, from the Rocky Mountains to the
Pacific, and its developeuient has
scarcely commenced During the
war, when We we're adding a couple
millions Ut dollars every day to our
national debt, I did not care about
encouraging the increase in the vol
ums OF our precious metals. We had

But now THAT tie rebellion is over

Now. am going to encourage that

THE PEAR AND CHERRY SLUG.
INewspapsr Bulletin No. 81

Newspaper Bulletin No. 81
Each year at about this season tho
leaves OF the pear and cherry trees are
attacked by great numbers Of small
dark colored Shiny worms presenting
different sizas owing to their varying
ages. These are the young of small
black "saw fly" 30 called because Of
its habit Of 50 Riuy slit in tho Leaf
within which it's egg is deposited.
The insect is injurious only in its
younger or lHrval stage, the only one
in which it il commonly observed. :,
Tho eggs are placed within she sub
stance OF the healthy leaf near the
upper surface. The young lsrva on
hatching, breaks through the thin
leaf skin and at once begins to feed
upon the green tssues of the leaf,
leaving untouched the framework
Which is more woody IN texture.
This continues for two or three weeks
during which the growing larvR casts
it's skin several times usually all
excepting the last of the cast skins
are eaten. the final cast ny bsing lef t
adherin& to the leaf. The nearly ma
tnre worm il somewhat less than q
balf inch in length and is enlarged
near the head. which reminds one OF a
young 'adpole. The color is dark
olive. The most peculiar and charac-
teristic feature is the Shiny condition
OF the skin, owing to which the term
slug" HIS been applied. This Shiny
skin is replaced at tho. final noult by
one light elbow in color. The apear-
Hnce Ut this stage "a soon followed by
the descent Of the ldrva into the

gence lay eggs for u second brood.
between the periods or the two broods
is q period when very few il any Of
the worms can be found, but individ-
nails Of the second brood may be
found until late in Autumn.
These woIms yield to treatment
most readily. Owing TO the tender
nature Of their bodies, IA true poison
is unnecessary in destroying them.
Almost any moderately chusLic liquid
which will not injure the foliage will
destroy them by simple contact. OF
those Of this nature that have been

A Washington special says the proba-
bilities are that William R. Morrison
will be bowled out of the coming cabinet
friend that he had hoped to have been
secretary of the interior, but that Viii
lard was working against him because
he felt that the land questions coming
before the interior department, in which
the Northern Pacific was concerned,
would be decided inimical to that road.
Morrison says there is no doubt that
| Willard is trying to control the interior
department.
Some of the Eastern papers are de-
claring that the reason why Senator
/ Dolph condemned the action of the
president, in appointing Judge jackson,
was because he himself wanted the place.
This story is almost too absurd to deny
The senator recognizes that the appoint
ments on the supreme bench are almost
invariably made from the circuits where
the vacancies occur. He may have had
hopes that could succeed Justice Field las
be comes from the ninth circuit, but he
never expected that a Pacific coast man
would be thought ofin connection with
the Southern circuit.
There has been great deal of talk
occasioned in Washington by the vicious
attack on President Harrison by James
s. Clarkson. The latter says the defeat
last fall was due solely to the personal
opposition to Harrison, his appoint
ments, his manner of treating leading
republicans and the general chilly man.
ner he had for everybody. Harrison's
cabinet appointments are severely con-
demned and the whole tenor of the in
terview is to make it appear that the
president and he alone is responsible
for the disaster. Clarkson has always
been bitter against the president since
he was refused place in the cabinet.
Representatives Wilson and Doolittle,
with Senator Squire, have agreed upon
name for the reservation around
Mount Rainier, which will probably
settle the Rainier-Tacoma difficulty.
The reservation will be called the Cas-
cade Forestry reserve. The proclama-
nation is all ready to be issued SO soon
as the secretary is info med that the
delegation has agreed on a name.
Senator Dolph hopes that his Siletz
Indian bill, has passed the senate, may
get through the house, although such
bills are often defeated in that body.

snIrs SLOW TO FURNISH RELIEF.
The Worst Earthquake That People
Have Experienced During the
rr- sent Century.

ATHENS, Feb. Cit is an undisputed
fact that the earthquake during the
past two or three days is the worst that
has done damage OH the Island in
modern times. The shocks experienced
last night did enormous damage; in
fact the whole island is devastated. To
add to the terror of the Inhabitants a
most terrific thunderstorm prevailed
at the time of the shocks, The people
we're panic-stricken, and SO great was
the fear inspired that many persons en-
tirely lost their reason and now are
hopelessly crazy. An unfortunate
feature of the situation is tbe-fact that
last nights shocks destroyed the bread
ovens in Zante, rendering it impossible
for a greater portion of the Inhabitants
to procure the most necessary articles of
food.
The minister of the interior has ar
rived at Zante and will do everything in
his power to relieve the distress, King
George will start for Zante on Saturday.
A British warship and three vessels be-
longing to the Greek navy arrived at
the island today with supplies, tents,
provisions and medicines.

Do you wish to know the quickest way
to cure cold? We will tell you. To
cure cold quickly, it must be treated
before the cold has become settled in the
system. The first symptoms of cold
is dry, loud cough and sneezing. The
pectoration and the sneezing by a pro-
fuse watery discharge from the nose. In
severe cases there is thin white coating
on the tongue. What to do? 1t is only
necessary to. take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in double does every hour.
That will greatly lessen the severity of
the cold and in many cases will effectu-
ally counteract it, and cure what would
have been severe cold within one or
two days time. Try it and be convinced
