a matter of surprise that the people Of
Lewiston and especially the traders, do
not stir themselves more to secure and
maintain the uniform trade Of the coun-
try. Most Of US would prefer to 90 to
Lewiston to do our business, had we
equal encouragement from the dealers
in Lewiston. OF course the ferry is a
heavy tax upon us but we should fore.

as we'll as to go elsewhere. AS matters
hav, been, farmer of this valley can
take his team and 70 to Walla Walla
and buy his 4 or & months supply of
groceries pay all his expenses down and
back and do it for less money than he
can 60 to Lewiston and purchase them,
and we here don't understand why this
is so. But SO it has been for l have
made the experiment myself and found
it to be true. We look upon Lewiston
as a more central point for trade for us,
but it makes us feel sore that we cannot
have offered to us there equal advanta-
ges with those held out to US in other
places below which are 25 or 80 miles
in land from ths river. We are told
that new store will soon be started a
a few miles below Lewiston, aud still
another opposite Lewiston below the
ferry, by an agricultural firm who have
abundant means and whose agent


has been among us selling agricultural
implements. IF these stores are opened
and offer to us better advantages than


Lewiston offers we cannot be blamed if
they receive our patronage, although
our choice is to 60 to Lewiston, all mat
ters of expense being equal. 1t has
been told US that some Of the Lew
iston traders said they did not care to
have our trade that we were too poor to
be OF any profit to them. 1t is admitted
that we came to the country roorand for
a time were obliged to ask credit. But
our condition is fast changing and our
creditors will never suffer at our hands

When swimming a horse, never
touch the bride, as horse is easily
drowned when checked up or otherwise
interlered with about the head. Sit
wei back and guide the horse with the
hand, gently s'upping him on either
side as required; thus horse will swim
a mile or more with full-grqwn man
on his back, and suffer but little. A
still safer way on reaching deep water
is for the rider to relieve the horse Of
his weight, by sliding into the water be-
side the animal, grasping the name
near the withers with one hand, thus
requiring the horse to tow the rider,
the latter assisting him in this by using
his legs aud free arm in the same way
as in swimming. In crossing rivers
with rapid currents, the rider should
take down stream side of the horse.
This method is practiced by the Indians
with much success.--Ntssoulidn.

An ambitious gentleman has
come over from Europe to push
forward a plan for shortening the
distance across the Atlantic. He
desires to raise funds for building a
railroad in Nova Scotia, the ulti-
mate effect of which lin his opin-
lon) will be to concentrate all the
European trade of this continent,
and the shipping engaged therein,
at Whitehaven, N. s., at the ex-
pense of New York and all other
Atlantic'ports. The railway is to
be seventy miles long, and is to
connect Whitehaven with New Glas-
gov, where a connection will be
made with the railway system of
the continent. The idea of the
author is that it is necessary to
shorten the trip across the ocean
for the benefit of that "stoady
and ever growing stream Of
wealthy and cultivated people
which pOurS down to the
steamship wharves and diffuses it.
self throughout the countries of the
Old World" annually, and of the
return tide of fashionable European
travel, and also for the benefit of
trade. To shorten the trip, he pro-
poses to have all ships sail from
Whitehaven, which is the most
easterly port of the continent, from
which point steamers can cross the
ocean in five days. Travellers and
mails, by taking a train between
Whitehaven and New York, would
make the distance between Liver
pool and New York at a saving of
twenty-five hours over the fastest
time ever made. At least that's
what the author of the project
claims; but it is strange that the
superlatiye advantages Of White
haven have not been discovered

is found to come up to the required
standard he will be excused from
attending lectures and hospitals,
and shall receive authorization to
practice physic and surgery in that
part of the territory of the republic.
This certainly seems fair enough,
though it has been limited that jeal-
ousy had something to do with the
matter. There may be able doctors
in Paris, both British and Ameri-
can, and while almost all foreigners
apply to these, they are also max
ing considerable inroads upon the
practice Of their French conrreres,
though their charges are higher
than those of the French doctors.
A foreign medical man of good
standing receives twenty francs
(say $4) for visit to his patients
house, while a French doctor Of
equal merit is satisfied with half
the amount. 1t takes a consider
able time to get into a good prac-
tice, and the style Of living
demanded is of SO expensive a
character, and the tax levied SO
considerable, young man wishing
to settle in Paris must possess a
certain income to fall back upon
to tide him over a few years, and
then, if he possess real ability, par.
ticularly in any department, he
will clear his two or three thousand

Several years ago a Methodist
camp-meeting was held near CIarks-
vile, in this State. Brother B.
was presiding elder of the circuit
in which the camp-meeting was
held. The citizens of Olarksville
and vicinity, famed for good living
and generous hospitality, furnished
good things in the way of eating,
in abundance, so that when the
preachers, after the morning SER
vice, had partaken thereof, they
were full-too full to feel, any d
them, like preaching the afternoon
sermon.


Brother b., whose business it was
to furnish a preacher for the oc-
casion, approached the preachers,
one after another, and they all
begged of, as they had eaten (as
each Of them said) a very hearty
dinner. Finally he came to Brother
Joe, who readily consented to fill
the pulpit. He could come as neal
filling the pulpit as any other
preacher present, as although he
was short he was remarkably thick
through the body. He commenced
his sermon by alluding to the cause
Of all the woes which had come
upon the human family. He said
that ages ago an old man by the
name Of Adam had left home for a
time, leaving beautiful and enter.
tanning wife in a garden he owned.
While he was absent a visitor came
and got Eve and all the rest of us
into trouble. This, said the
preacher, ought to be a lesson to
all Of you not to visit a mans
house in his absence. Trouble
may come of it. After indulging
in such homely practical illus
trations for about an hour
and a half, that portion of the con-
gregation who had rot from over
eating fallen asleep, manifested
restlesSnesS, and some of them
began to leave. Said Brother Joe:
Hold on, you are not showing
good raising or good manners.
You remind me of a fat, country
fed looking fellow, a boy about
eleven years old who was interrupt
ing the preacher, when the preacher
stopped short in his discourse and
addressing himself to the boy, said
to him, my son, where were you
brought up2' Brought up?' said
the boy, Il wasn't brought up at
all, | came down the river with dad
on a raft. ," Brother Joe concluded
his eloquent sermon by saying to
the seeding members of the con-
gregation, " You must have come
down the river with dad on raft"
and then he pronounced the bene-
diction and the crowd went off in
a litter.

Facing about, the visitor finds
himself at the portals of an en-
chanted highway, a veritable lane
in the sea, along the sides of which
are the so-called table tanks. On
the left are those devoted to the
smaller fresh water varieties whose
forms would be lost in the broader
domains of the wall tanks, while
across the lane is continuation in
miniature of the grand marine
series. Keeping to the right, we
are halted at the outset to inspect
the troop of sea-horses, to whom,
as BELTS their martial bearing, the
right Of the line has been assigned.
Horses heads they surely have, and
those quivering fms will answer
well for names, but here the sem.
blance ceases, as the tail is that oi

The fancy might soon be taught to
believe these hippocampi fresh from
the well-groomed stables of some
sea nymph who may yet be deplor-
ing the capture of her favorite
chargers. Possibly these were the
main-stay of a race Of fairy anna
IONS, whose duty it was to serve as
body-guards or couriers to their
queen. If this be so, then rich
reward is promised by the manager
to the lucky fisherman who will
capture the queen herself or any of
her company.


Before a second tank we could
stand for hours watching the cum
ming or vain spider crabs decorate
their ugly shapes with plumes of
sea-weed, and then, concealed in a
grove Of their own planting, lie
watching the angular antics Of the
scollops, which in turn are seeking
to evade the hungry claws of a
ravenous crab.


Another advance brings us in
front Of an alg@-earpeted cage
the home of the beautiful-winged
gurnard and his hideous prison
comrad0, the ugly toadfsh. Was it
an artistic appreciation of the force
of contrast, or was it some almost
human decree of fate that made
these two opposite types = one Of
grace and one of uglinesS = COM
panions in captivity !?


We next come to veritable sea-
garden, where anemoneS of all
shades and sizes grow and blossom.
That they are animals, science no

the beauty of its blossoms the dis

Is proved by the characteristic habit
of one of the class, who has taken
his abode upon the shell OF a her
mit.crab. However, the crab is
only paying the penalty of his rob-
Der propensity, since the shell in
WHICH he is housed is not of his
own making, So accustomed have
these combatiye marauders BECOME
to their living burden that when
they see fit to change from one shell
to another, they have been known
carefully to detach the anemone
and transfer him to the roof of the
new domicile--a tender attention
which the recipient repays by con-
yeying to the crab an additional sup.
ply Of food through the agency Of
its current-prOducin tentacles.

EDITOR HERALD.-Last evening al about


O'Clock was walking up Market street,


on the east side, and as I approached Fifth


street I met two ladies, one of whom re-


marked to her companion, "they ought to


have better manners than to obstruct the
passage of public crossing" On crossing
Fifth street the reason of the lady's caustic
remark was revealed to me. Before me,
as advanced, stood four very respectable
looking young men, two ON each pathway
of the crossing, and about four feet from
the pavement, engaged in earnest conversa-
tion, and from the elf-suficiency of their
bearing, I supposed the subject under dis
cusson might be, "are we the makers, or
only the creatures of the universe ~ and

During the fire in Philadelphia on Sunday
morning last, Frederick Newman, mem.
ber Of the Fire Patrol who was during the
fire at ssRogers' carriage factory buried in
heap of debris when the roof and floors
fell ia, died yesterday moring at the Penn
sylvania Hospital.


He had been very active and efficient
member of that valuable corps, and his as
ssciatcs as well as his many friends, must
keenly appreciate his loss. The position in
which lie lay when the ruins crushed In
upon him was terrible. He was thrown
upon his back land upon his breast lay three
beams, which, however, did not exert their
full weight upon him, as their ends had
been caught and held up by some wood
work. His feet were entangled in a carriage
wheel as he fell, rendering his extrication
still more difficult. Upon the beams fell an
immense heap of debris.


By careful and aasiduous labor the beams
were raised by the means of jack screws,
and the unfortunate man drawn out, after
passing eight hours of intense physical and
mental agony. The heavy weight resting
upon his chest made breathing difficult, land
the smoke was an a.glavation. The cramp-
ed position caused the blood to flow slug
gishly, and the lower limbs became numb
and almost paralyzed. He held out under
gentle stiraulants until within few minutes
OF his extrication, when he became uncon-
scious. When he was taken to the Penn
sylvania Hospital the opinion was expressed
that he would recover. His funeral will be
largely attended.

The former has contented himself hitherto by

recent fighting along the LON Valley WIS in

INTERVENTION RuMoEs


Rumors OF intervention, circulated In the

from the Cabinets Of London, Berlin, and Wen

that, since for the settlement OF the Eastern
question war has been appealed to, solution,
if not final, at least OF some duration, can only
be arrived at BY the decided superiority Of one
or the other of the conteuding parties, or
else By the thorough exhaustion OF both, and
the conviction is brought home to both that
neither Of them is able to solve the problem by
sheer force. Any premature attempt to inter-
fere, and thus prevent decision, could on]Y


lead to hollow peace and to the prospect Of Sec
