feet kind now used, with a rail road on
which to transport it to the mines,
with the increased knowledge of Its'
use which practice alone can give, wi
provisions for the mines produced near
the scenes of their labor, there is n
reason to doubt that the capital INt
will soon- realize a large profit on the
money invested in the rightly named
Rocky Ml:inth - ins..
:Most of the mills have ceased running
-for the winter; though 'now the aver
age Shipments of gala-per week through
the banks exceed $20.000. This is in
dependent of the large sum taken
away by private parties, and still lar
ger amount converted here into curren
cyrin-d - - when, during the warns season
thesurfaee Mines are worked and all
the mills are miming, it is easy to see
that th* yield of gold per week many
times exceed the present amount.
Besides the precious metals lead, iron,
. copper and coal are found in inexhaus
tible quantities. The lead and silver ,
areoonibined in the Galena ores, but.
are easily separated, and the copper h.
in distinct veins, o ten yielding 70 pei
cent. of pure metal. The non ore is
found both in-mountains and prairies ;
butthe coal veins are confined strictly
to the latter, and are supposed to ex
tend-in-unbroken stratas from the base
of the mountains to the known coal
fields of Kansas and Missouri. The
coal is bituminous and belongs to the
Upper Coal formation. The largest
vein yet opened is less than four feet in,
thickness, and the rock and sand be
- tweett the diE'erent beds is so thin that
the period of submergence by the ocean
was of short 'duration when -compared
with the time required to form the cov
ering rock of different veins in coal
fields of the eastern states.
The ,proximity of the coal to the sur
face, (e first vein only four or five
feet b ow it) would prove that It was
e ).tl
forme during the latter stages of the
Carboniferous period ; hence the pres
'sdre exerted on the vegetable substance
is.comparatively light, and its soft con
dition renders most of it unfit for man
ufacturing purposes. 'Charcoal is used
as a substitute by-blacksmiths and fowl
drymen, and the wood for this is pro
cured from the forests of fir and pine in
the mountains.
Petroleum is found in several places,
though as yet, not in large quantities.
A well at Canon City, one hundred
mutes south of here, yields twenty bar
rels per day from a depth of one hun
dred feet. _Extensive preparations are
being made to sink several wells along
~,, the base of the mountains, where, from
surface indications, It is believed large
deposits of oil will be found.'
The Rocky Mountains, or Sierra Ma
dre, here form the eastern border of the
Great Salt Lake valley and have an
average width of three . hundred miles.
Their average elevation above the sea
level is between 7000, and 8000 feet,
though many peaks in this territory
(270 miles long from north to north) at
tain twice that altitude, and are cover
ed with perpetual snow and ice.
The view from these lofty peaks is
perhaps unsurpassed for extent by any
in the world, certainly by any in our
own laud. The traveler in order to
reach them enters the mountain at Got-
den City, the capital of the territory,
and winds his way among deep and
~arrow valleys, or around the point 01
,ome spur where far below the moun
t:lm torrent comes leaping on from the
slittering snow that looms up before
-nil. Central City with its numerous
branch towns and scores of mills is

and compactly built houses, forming a
ct ug contrast with-the broad streets
and spacious yards in the City of the
Plains—past the mining hamlets of
Georgetown and Mon tgom ery—t h e
town is E , DOCI feet above the sea level,
past the scraggy pine and stunted grass,
and on and up to the line where snow
begins and vegetation ceases. How
strange, yet welcome was the sight pre
sented by raspberries and whortleber
nes-' just Such as I used to gather on
the hillsides of old Tioga, ripening near
'oeds.of snow and lee ; and towers too,
though of an unknown species, were
forcing their way through a covering of
snow, and blooming , in great beauty
under the mild rays of a September sun.
At last, after many-halts to rest and

TEE FIJIAN
Who does not remember how, at a
time not far distant in the past, the in
habitants of the Fiji Islands Were at
once the abhorrence and the gaped-at
objects of the civilized world. The Fi
jian was pictured as a hairy monster, of
sable skin, snaky hair, teeth long and
filed to .41 point, and claws like a hyena.
He breakfisted on twelvemonths old
babies, dined off human tenderloin, and
supped on a dish compounded of human.
blood and brains.
Such was the representative Fijian
who intruded himself into our childish
dreams. How much of thespeeter was
color, and how much hard lines of fact,
nobody will ever decide; for cannibal
ism seems to have gone out of fashion,
even, In Fiji, and the ancient bugbear
Fijian has passed into history.
But there is reason to believe that the
ancient Fijian was migratory ; and it
believed by some people, ourself of
the number, that their descendants are
to be found in every neighlmrhood.to
day. Of course the little folk must not
read this, for we would not people their
dreams with the specter that assumed
Protean forms in ours. This is for the
grown-up children, for young men and
women.
The Fijians are among us. Having
seen several of the tribe practising their
horrid vocation, we assert , this confi
dently. Not that they were, literally,
regaling themseivesi on roasts, steaks,
and stews tut from the human form di
vine ; but they , Were gobbing up the
g•lowing promise, - and the glorious - hopes
and opportunities of young manhood
and womanhood, and remorselessly
swallowing the peace of society, as Si
sweet morsel, to be rolled under their
Insatiate tongues.
We have seen a chief of the Fijians,
intent , upon a feast, lying in wait for
a class of young Men whose vanity is
of that unctuous kind which tempts the
palate, and having sprung their
game, systematically pampering them
to a - condition of fatness marvelous to
behold. The Fijian first assured them
that gentlemen did not begrudge the
expenditure of a few dimes a day for
ale and whiskey; for potuatum, cigars,
and the like ; and then, by easy stages,
conducted them down to the level of
fast horses and false women. In this
field, where young men are stall-fed for
Fiji shambles, Ow victims soon ripen,
and drop into their tutor's basket, like
over ripe applesAihen the limb is gent
ly shaken.
But the Fiji has marry strings to his
bow. His choicest feast is in sapping
the energies of young men, and by that
means reducing them to that pulpy, pli
able state which renders them easily di
gestible. He flatters them with enco
miums of their extraordinary talents;
suggests that such talents should not be
prostituted to rough utility ; and de
clares that labor degrades the finer na
ture. The victim soon becomes con
se4ous of an overpowering lassitude; is
disgusted with the routine of his voca
tion; begins to arrive late in the morn
ing, to shirk his duty during the day,
to slink off a quarter of an hour before
•
quitting time, and to dilly-dally along
the streets, watching out for his amiable
Fiji Mentor. Thus comes ib that mor
-1 •
al softening of the brain which results
in what is called chronic laziness, and
in a brief time the Fijian opens his big
mouth, and the victim slides down into
the insatiable maw and is son no more
among men.
Again, the'Fijiau sometimes weaves
a kind of spell around his victim; and
the latter is seized with a sudden leth
argy, in the toils of which he becomes
pitiably helpless. Sometimes the vic
tim, surrounded with all the necessaries
of life; is so lethargic that he fails to
help himself, and _curses the world be
cause-it will not feed him with a spoon;
or, being surrounded with the applian
ces of knowledge, is too lazy' to make
use of them, and actually becomes an
idiot, because somebody 'will not stuff
his noddle with what everybody may
have for the trouble of picking up. So,
in either case, the victim 'rolls into the
hungry jaws of the Fijian, and passes
out of the memory of living men.
This far we have singled out the
male victims of the Fijians; but these
-erve as a sample of the dangers which
i.eset young women. When the anacon
da swallows its victim it luas•but one
process of deglutitibm.be the victim of
one sex or the other. But it sometimes
happens that there is a convocation of
emelt: Fijians; iuwrtof dehool for tmi
cling up innocent girls for Fijian purpo
ses ; such a scbool es Prof. Blot has es
ease in this—that the Freres-
(4566444 mi burr to serve up a dinner,
and the Figians teach their victims how
to endow small scandal with that deli
cate flavor which renders.dt so palatable
to the Fijian world, and so bitter to the
subject of the scandal. On such occa
sions there is often a roast, stew, and a
grand broil of—character. Young wo
men, beware of the • convocation of FL=

M . ;rWMl't
Our Republican cotemporaries in the
central and southern parts of the State,
are canvassing the merits and claims of
Candidates for the seat on the Supreme
Bench soon to be vacated by Chief „Instit° Woodward. Among the names
presented we notice Judge Pearson, of
Dauphin, Judge Williams, of Alleghe
ny, Judge Linn, of Center; and Judge
Williams, of Tioga. These are all good
risen;. but as only one can be preferred
at last, it becomes necessary to declare
a preference.
Of the three first named Judge Linn
has our decided preference. His loca
tion is good, he is a man of culture,
learned in the law, sober-minded, delib
erate, and correct In judgment. He is
a man of good moral stature; upright,
and just. Such a man would make a
grand-successor to the icicular and aus
terely suave Woodward, whose love of
justice is bounded by colored lines, as
States and counties are bounded on the
maps.
However; as we have a candidate.ln
our own county,—a candidate not by
his, or our own naming, but named by
one of the most influential papers in
Southern Pennsylvania, —we heartily
endorse the nomination and accept the
proffer. Judge Williams is the peer of
the other gentlemen named, save, per
naps, in years and experience. We
have often testified to his superior gifts,
as a lawyer, and as a Judge, and to his
high standing as a citizen. We reaffirm
-all former commendation with pleasure.
We go further, and• say that there are
few clearer Intellects in tlewhole coun
try, few distinguished by a broader and
firmer graSp of the interior principles
which vivify law, natural and civil.
His talents are solid rather than showy,
and he wisely avoids elaboration when
direct statement embodies the pith of
the subject matter. A close student in
every direction, his acquirements give
him a great advantage over the mere
lawyer, however effective the latter may
be.
As a Common. Pleas Judge he gives
the largest measure of satisfaction. On
the Supreme Bench he would find still
more congenial labor, because his supe
rior analytical powers would come into
fuller and freer play.
Of his ability to secure the delegates
from this Judicial District, from Brad
ford and Susquehanna, with a fair pros
pect in Clinton and.Lycoming, we have
no serious.doubt. We do not regard the
mention of his name as complimentary,
but otter this as an earnest advocate of
his claims for the nomination.
We resume our expostulation with
the free-traders, this time with the Eve
nini Post, over to which our CaiSkill
friend handed us. The Post is an old
acquaintance. We made its acquaint
ance in childhood, and know all about
its systematic quarrel with prosperity_
It laments the tax o i foreign copper
ores, declaring that in some port of the
State of Connecticut the reduction of
copper ores is an extensive business ; so,
if this high duty be imposed, certain
.copper smelting companies in Connect
icut must close 'up. Very well; let them
close up. The interests of the whole
country are paramount, and if the in:
terests of any company conflict there
with, then individual interest MCist sue
curob. suppose that Connecticut pro
duced copper ores in large quantities;
would not the people of that State de
mand protection for their miners and
smelters of copper ores? -- Certainly.
Why, then, should her people complain
of a tarig which, in the case supposed,
they would demand?
The Post goes on to complain thatthe
only nickel producer in this country is
favored by a monstrous duty on nickel.
It neglects to state that the GOvernment
is the largest consumer of nickel in the
country-, and that it is the common in
terest to produce the article of which it
coins money, and with which it alloys
its coin.
The Post again complains that the salt
manufacturers have got a tax of 220‘per
cent imposed upon ii .rei g n salt. We
are glad of it. Salt is one of the , neces
saries of life and ought to be produced
st home, where Wu have oceans of salt
water to make it of.. Salt, even under
the duty, is as cheap as some kinds of
dirt, and all the salt used, or that ought
to be used by any family in America,
for one year, can be bought fOr $5.
But the whole question resolves itself
into one of self-support. Every great
nation must be able to produce its own
articles of consumption and use, where
it has the raw material. Suppose that
we depend upon Britain for salt, copper,
lead, saltpetre, iron, steel, and cotton
and woolen fabrics; a-war is declared
between the two countries, and the sup
ply of these sinews of war is suddenly
cut off. Now what is the result?
Why, just what happeed to the . re
bellious South during 1t war against
the Government. 71. s public men were
free-trade advocates from the first. They
were of the Post school of economists.
When the war cut off their supplies
from the North they found themselves
helpless save in the great expanse of
country. Had they been forced to fight
it out in the single State of Virginia they
would have been' flogged out in six
months. They had no salt, uo woolen
factories, no extensive furnaces, forges,
rolling-mills; and their boast became
chronic that they would get one grd
thing out of the war s to-wit independ
ence of Northern manufactures. Did
they get it? No. Protective tariff's and
home enterprise are cheaper than war
as developers of the resources of a na
tion. No nation can safely be at war
with any other nation, unless it be self
sustaining to begin with: •
Thus to the'Post.. •We shall return to
the charge at - a future time.

news is up to Saturday, and may be con

CONGRESS
March. 1. The Senate Finance Com
mittee reported a bill reducing the du
ty on wool. [This is unfortunate. There
is a stern demand for the protection of
woolgrowers against foreign competi
tion. Is it better to Import wool than
to grow it?l' An attempt was •made_ to
pass the Colorado bill over the Presi
dent's veto, but it failed, The Senate
then took up the tax - bill; and after va
riously amending it it passed. Final
and favorable action was had upon the
several appropriation bills.
The House considered the DefiCiency
bill; and agreed to the - report of the
Committee of Conference upon the
Bankrupt bill by a vote of 73 to 71.
March. 2. The Senats took up the tar
iff bill: The proposition to reduce the
duties on wool was withdrawn, and the
bill as It came up from the Rouse then
passed by a vote of 31 to 12. The bill
went to the President. The Senate also
agreed to the Conference report -on the
Bankrupt bill, and it went to the Presi
dent. It also agreed to the Conference
report on the bill to redeem the coin
pound interest notes with loan . certifi
cates at, 3 per centum. The veto of the
tenure of office bill came to the Senate,
and thelill was passed over the veto by
a vote of 36 to 11. The indemnity bill
passed by a vote of 36 to 0. The Presi
dent having vetoed the Reconstruction
bill, the Senate passed it over the veto
by a vote of 38 to 10.
Mr. Marquette, the member from the
new State of Nebraska, appeared, took
the oath, and his seat in the House.—
The President's veto of the Reconstruct
ion bill was received, and after a great
deal of desperate fluttering among the
Johnson members the Housepassed the
bill over the President's veto by a vote
of 135 to 48. Mr. Raymond voted for the
bill.
At the evening session the veto of the
tenure of office bill was received, and
passed over the veto by a vote of 181 to
87.
March-4. This was the last day' of
the 89th Congress. Little business was
done in either House. Mr. Foster,
Preildent of the Senate, whose term ex
pired with the stroke of twelve upon
the clock, arose and delivered a.beauti
ful and feeling farewell address to the
Senate. At the conclusion of his re
marks, Hon. John W. Forney, Secreta
ry of the Senate, took the chair, and
the Senator proceeded to the election of
a President. Senate' Wade was nomi
nated and elected, and conducted to the
Chair by Senator Foster.
At twelve o'clock Mr. Speaker Col
fax arose in the House and delivered
his valedictory, at the close of which
he declared the 89th Congress adjourn
ed without day. He was enthusiastic
ally applauded as he left the Chair.—
As soon as the confusion had subsided,
Mr. McPherson; the Clerk, called the
House to order and called the roll of
the 40th Congress. A motion to pro
ceed to the election of a Speaker was
Interrupted by James Brooks, who
made it a point of order that ten States
were not represented in the call. After
a season of factious folly, such only as Mr.
Brooks could display, Hon. Schuyler
Colfax was nominated and elected
Speaker by a vote of 127 to 80. The re
sult was received !with enthusiastic ap
plause. Mr. Cblfax addressed th e
House briefly, but in beautiful and ap
propriate terms, acknowledging the
honor. of this, his third- election. to the
pos,tion.
Mr. „McPherson wpai .2 'fle4.ttiooted Clerk
- without opposition.
The meeting of the 40th Congress was
most enthusiastic. • The reader will tin:
derstand that the 40th COngress met
in pursurance of a law passed by the
39th Congress fixing the times of its
meeting in March and November.—
This . Av 11 I doubtless be the law regula
ting the - meeting of future Congresses.
March. 5.- - iSotice&f a bill to guaran
tee a republican form of-government in
the rebel States was given in-the_S,cn
ate. Senator Sumner offered a resolu
tion of thanks to Geo. Peabody for his
munificent gifts for educational pur
poses, and directing the President to
cause a gold medal to be struck for pres
entation to him.
The members of the House drew for
their seats, and elected a chaplain. No
other business was done.
March 6.—Messrs. Doolittle and Pai= .
terson made explanations, severally, as
regards the implied charge, contained
in a report of an investigating committee
appointed to examine into certain al
leged frauds pertaining to the Collect
or's Office in New York, of having re.
ceived money from Smythe, Collector.
The declared the charge false in Coto.
In the House an attempt was made to
introduce a bill to amend the National
Currency act, but without success. The
House adjourned without transacting
further business.
March, 7.—The new Committies of
the Senate were announced. Gen Cam
eron is Chairman of the Committee on
Agriculture, and a member of the
Commltties on Foreign Relations and
Military affairs. A resolution prohibi
ting the . sale of liq-uors in the Capi
tol was introduced. Bills were in
troduced as follows : To amend the
Constitution so that no State can
deprive any citizen of the elective
franchise on account of color; to in
crease the duty on wool; a supplement
to the Reconstruction act ; and a reso
lution prohibiting the reelection of any
President of the United States. In the
House there-was an exciting debate up
on a resolution to authorize the Judic
iary Committee to continue the investi
gation looking to the impeachment of
the President. This consumed the en
tire session. The resolution prevailed
without a division. Among the debaters
were Butler, of imr.q..echusetts, and
Wood, and Brooks, of New York.
How TO TAIKE Cow.—As the thaw
has come, the doctors are looking for an
Increase of business, and as every trade
must live, we offer a few hints upon the
readiest methods of gratifying the fra
ternity. -.Persons who are partial to
rheumatism should wear thin boots and
be c.areful , to keep them well soaked in
snow water. A quick fever can be se
cured by leaving off overcoats. Neural
gia complaints are open to all who walk
till they become heated, and then stop
at the corner of a street and cool off by
a genial chat with some good fellow.
Coughs are free to all who will insist
upon throwing open their coats in order
to catch the gentle south breeze which
prevails. The ladies are such thorough
experts in this art that we need not offer
them any suggestion, but by abandon
ing their cloaks and rubbers and resort
ing to their boots and shatvls, they will
reach a gruel diet by a short cut. —Ex

Stranrs DEATH or Two Cstumurt.
—Saturday - night of last week an Irish
man named Rogers, living near the gas
works, took home a jug of whiskey, and
indulged himself to stupefaction in a
drunken spree. On sunday morning
Mrs. Rogers is said to have gone out to
a neighbor's house; during her absence
a little boy of eight years and a little
girl of five got hold of the whiskey and
drank , large quantities. When th e
mother returned she found both the
children dead drunk. The boy, how
ever, managed to say that "Biddy , '
(meaning his sister) had drank the most.
The girl died about five o'clock on Sun
day afternoon, and the boy a few -hours
later. We. have seldom been called
upon to record a case of moreheartrend
ing depravity.—Pittston Gazette.

much good service; hot what with ita breaking,
