These regions, of which many knew little,
save by the tales that came floating back of the
exploits of Jed Smith and Kit Carson, the
hardy pioneers ; of Skipper Gray, who first
breasted the breakers on the bar of the Col-
umlrin ; of Captain Bonneville,. who mule his

have left their homes. in the East for a month's
vacation and a trip to California during the
last summer. They have been to see us and
gone away again, to tell of our snow•tipped
mountains, and giant forests, and rocky
gulches, with the glittering gold, and pleasant
corn-covered valleys and vine-clad hills. To
us in the West it seemed as if New York and
Philadelphia and Chicago had gone out " on
the tramp." In August the writer met an au
thoress from New York in the Willamette
Valley, a professor from lowa away up at the
Cascade Falls of the Columbia, a couple of
Senators from Washington staging it through
an Oregon forest, the Governor of Illinois at
a social gathering in Portland, dined with the
Vice-President on board one of the Oregon
Steamship Company's vessels, near to the 49th
parallel, had a drink with an Eastern editor
in one of the ice-caves of Washington Terri
tory, and spent three of the happiest days of
his existence ith Ee ward and his party, on
the pleasant waters of the Puget Sound.
And no sooner has one railway been opened
than another is proposed. The engineers have
already been out and made the survey. The
Northern Pacific is spoken of as a rival to the
Central Pacific, and the landholders and lint
holders of the Puget Sound are discussing the
location of the great terminal city. The eyes
of all are turned to a spot which is detained to
play no mean part in the history of our na-
tional progress and civilization. Bills may be
proposed and defeated, particular schemes
may he discussed and delayed ; but let any
one take a look at the position and contour
of the northwestern corner of our country,
and he will he convinced of its importance,
foresee its manifest destiny. There is a
great inland sea stretching up 200 miles front
Cape Flattery, studded with fertile islands,
surrounded by pine-covered heights, and near
er, by 800 miles, to China than ran Francisco
—and nearer, also, to New York. Instead of
sage-bush desert and salt plains, there is a
under which lies a bed of mincene coal,
stretching all the way from Illinois to
ington Territory. Let any one consider the
increasing commerce with China, of which we
have merely tasted the first fruits, and acquaint
himself with the character of the country be

This well-known lad has lately written a
school composition treating upon a subject re-,
larding which there is much confusion, and
which this young Talley rand satisfactorily
clears up. We think it a great improvement
upon much that passes through the prints :
A. war is where two nations, and sometimes
rude, get into a muss that they can't get out
if any way but by fighting, and then the
artiest fends off, and it is it remarkable thing
n'history that the one that gets the best of it
Always beats. France and Prussia are going
to have a war because the Spaniards wanted
a German prince for a king, though It's none
of the business of either of 'cm, any how.
Why didn't they get toad and want to tight
because our folks made General Grant presi
dent, I'd like to know? I wish they bad,
that's all ; if we wouldn't have knocked spots
out of 'ent,you bet I But it is now said there's
something else besides this Spanish king that
the muss is about. They both want some
body else's land, and they arc going to try
to get it by killing one another ; ad it seems
en the surface of things, which is the Rhine,
that they are all ready to pitch in. The result
of it all will be that if the ,Northern German
States are united, then thd : Schleswig }lots-'
teiners will join the Nurembuggers, and by
forming a league with Hungary will do some
thing for Poland, in which event W urtem
burgh will march into Westphalia, and then
look out for the hams. Italy, in the mean
time, will not be doing nothing, and joining
with Russia will help to gobble up. Turkey,
while England remains neutral, resolving to
go the whole hog for Brussels. Then if Hol
land Johns Bavaria, the whole of Southere
Germany is a unit, and in the row brewing
the price of huger will be doubled, a calamity
of a terrible sort. Austria and Switzerland,
lying contagious, will be ready to fight either
side, and Hanover will take part with France
or Prussia, just as the case may be ; In which
event there will be more trouble,, and the pro
thnityln Ilecklenberg Schwearingen will be
doubled, which will prove a great curse. The
world is sitting on the Pyramids watching
the light, and General Sheridan has been sent
to see for the United States. Let us hope the
strongest party will win.

THE I , OIIEIGN WAlt
CIVILITY
The fact that "civility costs nothing" is
probably the secret of its unfashionnbleness.
A thing that every one can have, few think
worth having.
Men of industry, of integrity, of respectable
intellectual gifts, are met at every turn ; but
your purely civil man is a rant aria. We are.
not speaking of people in their social relations,
but in their intercourse with the outside world.
Many men who are everything but genial and
courteous in the home circle, become cold,
brusque, or iraitrble the moment they enter
their counting-rooms, offices, or place of busi
ness, whatever it may be. The playful, in
dulgent paterlamiliun of half an hour before
suddenly changes into n surly ogre, who snaps
up his little pale-faced clerk us if he would
make a supplementary breakfast of him.
Under such a master It is no wonder that the
clerk in turn finds It Impossible to be civil to
any stranger whom the chance or business
may throw In his way.
As a general thing, clerks in mercantile
houses do not stand in need of ungracious ex
amples. Much dealing with complicated ac
counts seems to sour the disposition. Frac
tions beget fractiousness. •If you desire it fine
healthy specimen of irritability, take an an
cient bookkeeper at the time he is soaking out
his balance-sheet, and ask him th:- slightest
question not connected with his calculations.
But for all people engaged in strictly seden
tary occupations one should make generous
allowance.
As a class, the clerks in retail stores are re- I
marl:ably courteous, considering the tests to
which their patience is constantly subjected.
We wish it were not in our way to say it, but
women make the very worst retail clerks in
the world. In most cases they seem unable
to separate their sex front the business in hand.
If their customer is a man, they like or dislike
hint at a glance, and are proportionately at
tentive or Indifferent. When dealing with,
women—and this IS a wise woman's testimony
—they are apt to be curt, impatient, and dis
obliging. If a woman tastefully or absurdly
dressed enters the store, business receives a
furtive stroke of paralysis ; the new-coiner is
instantly inventoried, dissected, and—so to
speak—sat upon by the female coroners of the
shop, whose verdicts are delivered to each
other across the counters by a system of eye
telegraphy not understood by man. None of
these peculiarities attach thenueelves to the
masculine clerk. Ills faults arc or a different
order. lie is rarely downright rude ; he is
more often overwhelmingly polite and killing
—a very bad form of incivility.
Men who hold positions which bring them
into contact with the public, and place the
Public to a certain extent at their mercy, have
no right to be anything butt civil. The tick-
et-master at the railroad station has no right
to snub. you because you do not happen to.
know on which track your train is. The con.
ductor has no right to regard you with a look
of disdain mingled with commiseration when
you ask him the name or next station. You
were not born on the road, and if your inter
rogation convinces hint that you arc a natural
idiot, he ought to respect your misfortune and
not betray it to the other passengers. The
hackman who gloomily awaits you at the ter:
minus of the journey has no right to hustle
you as if you were a part of your own baggage.
The hotel clerk, the natural humility of whose
disposition lies buried under that monumental
diamond pin, has no right to treat you as
an inferior. Yet who that has travelled has
not met ail these forms of incivility ? This, to
be sure, is only one side of the story. Tile
traveller is almost as likely to be exasperating
as an employee of the road, or the clerk of the
hotel. But then the traveller Is not paid for
being civil, and the other gentlemen are.
It costs so little and is worth so much !
young clerk with civility already has a stock
of goods of his own. Regarded as mere poli
cy, it is the next best thing to honesty, it
is good for its own sweet self. An uncivil
man is necessarily a discontented man, a dis
comfort to himself. We be; leave to add a
new sentiment to the copy-book atilt: period:
Be Civil and You will be Happy
THE PECULIARITY. OF THE PRE-
SENT SOLAR HEAT
A morning journal, in some remarks intro
ductory to the publication of its regular record
of the thermomrtrical indications of the previ-
ous day, says: "The peculiarity of the heat
Las been unive-sally noticed, and many upon
whom lout had hitherto little or no effect, bars
been obliged to succumb to its iiiiluence or ac
knowledge its power," This fact, we presume
must be generally admitted. It might not be
inappropriate to inquire whether eleven years
since, which was the last preceding spot period
on the sun, there was a like peculiarity of the
Summer—•the same overpowering and mephitic
influence of the neat which is observed now.
How much of this peculiar heat is attributable
to the combustion of meteoric bodies which,
according to some astronomical speculators,
generate the solar spot periods and afterward
fall into the sun, occasioning an unusual sup 7
ply of the light and heat which that luminary
dispenses to the worlds circling around him,
it might be well worth to inquire; and whether,
indeed, there is not a chemical influence im
parted to the sun's light and heat correspond
ing to the chemical composition of the meteoric
bodies that at those times furnish him with
extraordinary supplies of fuel.
The researches of philosophers have .put us
in possession of a great deal of valuable in
formation which may throw sums light on
the peculiarity of a Summer of the spot period,
'and it may possibly be found that the over
powering physical effect of the solar heat,
which cannot be satisfactorily accounted for
by its .mere intensity, is in no small degree
attributable to some magnetic and electrical
disturbances. It has been known to scientific
circles and to well.informed persons generally
that two distinguished phyMcists, directing
their attention in two different paths of in
quiry, reached conclusions which were mutu-
ally explanatory. While ,Schwabe was ascer
taining the periodicity of the spot period
to be every eleven years, Col. Sabine was en
gaged in watching the variations of the terres
trial magnet, in the play of which he found a
law of periodicity, " the swing of the magnet
growing (on an average—for occasional irre
gularities have to be taken into account)great
and greater, until it all attains'its maxinitn,
and then less then less." The period of this
change lie found to be about eleven years. The
correspiindence between this period and that
directed by Schwabe in the frequency of the
sun's spots was noticed ; and subsequently It
was established that the two sets of phenome
na, apparently so different in character, in re
ality take place in purl passu. When fur
ther it was noticed that in the occurrence of
auroras, and the passage of terrestrial
•eletri
cal currents, the same periodicity is exhibited
physicists began to see how important a bear
ing the inquiry into the solar spots has upon
terrestrial relations. As Balfour Stewart has
said: "A bond of union exists between these
four phenomena. The question arises, what
is the nature of that bond ?" And we might
add the question, What overpowring agency
'on human life have the magnetic and electric
' disturbances which occur during spot periods?
AN elderly lady who was handling a pair of
artificial plates in a dental office, and admiring
the fluency with which the dentist described
them,
,asked him : " Can a body eat with these
things ?" "My dear madam, mastication can
be.performcd with a facility scarcely equaled
by nature itself," responded tho dentist.
'.Yes, I know ; b . ut can a body eat with Ulm?"

upon the horse-racing at Buffalo :
"Thinking a visit to ButraloJust now would

" ' That's another,' said we. " Its only
fifty rods.' And we passed on, wondering if
that hackman was not from Niagara Falls.
" We pushed fur the Mansion house, cer
tain that once within its hospitable walls we
should see po lunatics or swindling luickmen.
We entered, found a great many people rush
ing about as if a world was to be made, and
each had a job. We approached the desk,
and met our friend Captain Whitney, who
presided there, and who is noted for his cour
tesy as well as of having his •eits at hand:

vacant rooms have you ?'

"We said, mentally, Alas, he has got it,
whatever the malady is,' and orally responded
that we did not care to engage over Linty•one
thousand.
" Fearing that we had actually reached
Bedlam, we sought relief in some direction,
and inquired of ourselves what all this meant.

ing occasionally of Buffalo fluids, we might

while the rich man is slow to relieve his needy

We shortsighted humans are prone to vol

thnt's"the reason why we were benteii at Bull

dear old innocent," I thought, but didn't say,
"didn't the rebels tight at Bull Run on Sun
day ? if my memory serves me, they did more
fighting than our boys, end no such awl:word
judgment was visited on them." don't

For die,l not our trouble's all work wisdom in
the end ? Every battle lost in the Iwginning
was a future battle won, and won, too, when
it was worth a dozen defeats. Every disaster
then was a dress•rehearsal for a general, a
platoon or a division, and when the crisis
called for the lessons we did not find that its
le'sson had been forgotten.
I remember in that delightful bank "The
Innocents Abroad," something like this:
"'there they are," said the captain or the
Quaker City, "down there every night at
eight bells, praying for fair winds, when they

A BIBLICAL REPUTATION
Lord, who IS residing in Illinois, Wit ,
a short time since riding frdm Jacksonville
to Peoria, in that -State, and as he was passing
a small but by the roadside, he noticed a
shaggydicaded boy of about eight years of
age, with large eyes and no hat, dressed in a
worn out pair of his father's trousers, trying
to balance himself on the splintered top of a
hickory stump.
More for the purpose of breaking the mn•
nutony of riding all day without speaking
than to gain information, Mr. Lord reined
his horse up to the fence, and exclaimed :
" My little boy can you tell me how fat it
is to Sangamon bottom ?"
The boy poised himself on one leg, opened
his large eyes to their largest extent, and re
died :
" Bout stx miles, I reckon."
" Do you live in that house r inquired Mr
Lord.
I reckon," was the reply.
Do you enjoy yourself out here in tho

" Lord," was the reply.
The boy here grinned all over, even to the

DEATH OF A II RA VE MAN
The particulars of the railroad accident at
31agnolia, on the Philadelphia and Wilining
ton railroad, have been published. One o
the victims of the accident, John T. Owens
aupervisor of the road, showed a heroism
under-the most panful and trying circum
stances, that commands the highest admira•
ration. Mr. Owens was riding on the engine
when it was overturned and thrown under
the wreck, with the hot coals from the tut uuce
pouring down on his body.
For two hours and a half he lay entangled
among the heavy irons which were slitwly
pressing out his life, while the tire consumed
one or his bruised and broken arms. -lie was
Perfectly conscious all the time, conversed
with those who were using every exertion to
lift up the terrible mass and to cool the hot
iron, uttered•no word of impatience or com
plaint, and bore his intense sufferings with a
fortitude that was almost superhuman. llts
died from his Injuries on Tuesday morning,
and was burled with due ceremonies by the
Masonic fraternity, of which crder he was a
member.
Prominent among the passengers who as
sisted in lifting ep the engine and extricating
the suffering men,was Postmaster.: General
Creswell; who labored for over two hours in
.removing the debris of the collision.

NEW INVENTION-.-RANKS
ROTARY PUDDLER.
l'hc Cincinnati Gazette says:—The Cinch]
nail Hallway Iron Works, located on the Ohio
river and Front street, aboVe the Little Miami
Railroad depot, has now discarded the old
style of hand puddling furnaces and adopted
the revolving puddling furnace machine, the
invention of Samuel Danks,its Superintendent.
As this promises to revolutionize, by its eco
nomical working, the work in tee merchant
and railway Iron and steel mills in the country,
a description of it will interest not only the
manufacturer, but the general reader.
In 1868 a small experimental furnace was
built, which working satisfactorily for several
months, two large and improved furnaces'
were built and began work in April, 1869. •
These have worked steadily ever since, and
in January last the company ordered the con
struction of four additional and still further
improved furnaces and the total abolishing of
the old hand puddling furnaces. One of these
improved furnaces is now at work and thi3
of hers will be in a few II eeks, the old peddlers
discharged and the furnaces taken down to
metre room for the rotary machines. The last
mimed furnaces are of sufficient capacity to
puddle a heat of seven to .eight hundred
pounds mud make the heat into one ball. The
two furnaces that began work in 18(19 make
two or three balls at one heat, and in nine:con
secutive weeks one produced one hundred and
twenty-seven tolls, and gained 10,847 lbs. of
muck bar over the charges of pig metal ; the
average consumption of iron ore to fix the
lining was 546 lbs. per ton of bar produced.
All labor cost $4 per ton, which includes fifty
four lighting ups and puddling only single
shift.
Itecently the Sloane Iron Company of Ten
nessee, brought ten tons of their furnace iron
to test in these rotary peddlers. Gen. Wilder
limperintendent, and Mr. Brazer, the mill
manager, attended the weighing, and watched
the working of their pig iron in them, giving
it the closest scrutiny for several days. The
result showed a quality of muck bar never be
fore produced from their iron ; and a gain in
yield of good sound bar of 113 , per cent. They
have contracted in this with the Miami Mu
chine Works for making ten of the furnaces
and engines complete. The Indianapolis
Bolling Mill Company are now having four
built, and the New Albany Mill one. For
many years this improvement in puddling fur
naces has engaged the attention of Mr. Banks,
the inventor, as it had before for years the at
tention at iron workers and masters through
out the world. Success has now crowned his
persevering etlbrts,and with the Greek philoso
pher he may well exclaim "Eureka."
Among the advantages gained by the rotary
machine paddler are a superior quality of iron
or muck liar from a given quality of metal ; a '''
larger than is possible in the hand
.fur
nace, averaging ten per cent., rind in some
c:Nes fifteen to twenty per cent.; an increased
quantity paddled of fifty to eighty per cent. ;
of labor the same per cent., and a saving of
repairs !old materials; a saving in cost of con-
strumion when based on product of furnaces;
an ability to work a quality of pig iron or old
ea.aings difficult to pudille in the hand furna
ces, nail to produce puddle(' balls of any
weight required. It can produce iron or steel
at pleasure from 'puddled balls of sufficient
weight to make a solid heAd rail or a solid rail
entire frond a homogeneous bloom or ingot of
iron or steel of better quality and cheaper than
by any other known furnace. It produces
liner grades of iron for hoops, hinges, sheet,
or hoil••r iron. and for nail works it has no
equal, as plates can be mane so Wit the split•
ling of nails is impossible. Other advantages
could be named. Like the sewing machine it
will relieve latior of much drudgerymini prom
ises to take first rank among the Improvements
,if the age. Patents have been obtained In
both this country and Europe, and we predict
its general adoption.
tip'. business portion of Newark was thrown
a commotion, Wednesday noon, as the
spread that Mr. Alexander M. Utter of _
inn of Jacobus & Utter had hanged him
in the manufactory of the tirm, No. 100
Market street. Mr. Utter attended to busineSs
as usual in the forenoon, and after selling a bill
of leather, went up stairs about 11. At noon
his partner, Mr. Jacobus, supposing he was
taking a nap, as was his custom, went.to call
Min to go to dinner, and was shocked to find
him dead. A small cord was tied about his
neck, after having been fitted by a knot be
tween two boards above, and the cord being
too short for hint . to hang, he slid down on a
pile of leather, and sat there till he had strang
led to death, in which position he was fond.
Mr. Utter was it highly respectable citizen,
possessor of 1{410,000 worth of property, apd
was regarded to be very prosperous cy

act, unless it is private or family troubles,
ills business relations were every way, pleasA
lug, and pecuniary embarrassment could have
caused the act. Mr. Utter was 60 years of age,
and has alwas lived in Newark.
