We can't anticipate with confidence any change for the better until some means con be de vised whereby a stop can be put to the cir culation of that execrable rot-gut and strychnine mixture, which at the Dalles they dignify with the nnme of ' whisky.' Renowned as that place is for the rapid consumption of this deadly article of drink, yet the consumers arc carried off with such fatal facility by it like unto fabled Saturn devouring his own children that it is be ginning to break over the limits in which it lias hitherto been confined, and we fenr that, permeating through the gorges of the Cascade mountains, it may soon reach the peaceful precincts of this little village.

In addition to the letter of our corres pondent above, we copy the following items from the Mountaineer of June 13: A good road for wagons has liecn found by Capt. Frazcr, Oth Infantry, from Whito Bluff'', on the Columbia, 22 miles below Priest Rapids, to the Spokane Riv er, iu a distance not exceeding 05 miles; making the distance from White Bluffs to Ilaruey Depot, tinder lfiO miles. The dis tance trout Snake River Ferry to Spokane FerrV is quite 05 miles, fiom which it will appear what a saving of land travel will bo secured by this discovery of a road to White Bluff a point always accessible by steam. Whito Bluff will, in a short time, be an important point as an entrepot for the upper country. On the SOtli May the expedition un der Capt. A. J. Smith, 1st Dragoons, was encamped on Crooked River, 167 miles from Fort Dalles. Capt. Smith will prob ably await the arrivM of Mnj.

The weather has generally been favorable, but a snow storm befell them on the 30th May, which caused the command to halt for tho day in camp. Maj.

I saw tho army of hu man beings gliding with the velocity of wind over the iron truck, and droves of cuttle traveling in their stables at the rute of twenty miles an hour toward the city slaughter-house. It was wonderful. The little busy, bee-winged machinery of the cotton factory dwindled Into insignificance before it. Monstrous beast of passage nud burden! It divorced the intervening dis tance, and wedded the cities together! But for its furnace, heat, and sinews, it was no thing but a beast, an enormous aggregation of horso power. And I went back to my forge with unimpaired reverence for the intellectual philosophy of my hauimcr. Passing along the street one afternoon, I heard a uoise iu an old building, as of some ouo puffing a pair of bellows. So, without more ado, I stepped in, and, in a corner of the room, saw the chef d'ouvie of ail ma chinery that had ever been invented since the birth of Tubal Cain. In its construc tion it is as simple us a cheese press. 1 1 went with a lever with a lever longer, stronger than that with which Archimedes promised to lift tho world. 'It is a printing press,' said a boy stand ing by the ink trough, with a careless tur ban of bowu paper on his head. ' A printing press!' I queried, musingly, to myself. ' A printing press! What do you print?' I asked. 'Print?' said the boy, staring at mo doubtfully; ' why, we print thoughts.' ' Print thoughts!' I repeated after him, and we stood for a moment looking nt each other in mutual admiration ho iu the ab sence of an idea, I in pursuit of ouc. But I looked at him tho hardest, and he left another ink-spot ou his forehead, from a sympathetic motion of his left hand to quicken my apprehension of his meaning. ' Why, yes,' he continued, in a tone of forced confidence, as if pressing an idea, which, though having peen current a hun dred years, might still be counterfeit, for aught he could show on the spot, ' we print thoughts, to be sure.'

Ezekiel seemed lo grow an inch at ev ery word, aud the brawny prcsmnn looked liot at him and then at mo with evident satisfaction. ' Talk about tho mind's living forever!' exclaimed tho boy, pointing patronizingly at the ground, as if minds were lying there incapable of immortality until the printer reached them a helping hand. Why, the world is brimful of life, bright, Industrious i thoughts, which would have been dead as stone if it hadn't been for boys like me, who mil the ink rollers. Immortality, In deed !

The lutter took it as if dubbed a knight of the legion of liouor; for tho boy had put tho mysteries of his professiou in an apoca lypse. ' Give us one good healthy mind," resum ed Ezekiel, " to think for us, and we will furnish a dozen worlds such as this with thoughts to order. Give us such a man, and we will insure his lifo; we will keep him olive forever among the living. Ho can't die, no way you can fix it, when once we have touched him with these bits of inky pewter.

'Ezekiel,' I asked, in a subdued tono of reverence, ' will you print my thoughts ton?' ' Yes, that I will," he replied, " if you will th'nk some of the right kind." And I went homo and thought, and Ezekiel has printed my ' thought trucks' ever since. Tuklaif Ibis l'.Bsu. Our Marshals aro already busy looking up the census.

" Because after that hour he's as drunk as a piper, und unuble to take cure of liim silf, h t olono his family." " What is his age?"

" Och, thin, he's niiin' intirely. He has rheumatics worse than owld Donnelly; he was tied double with them." " How many mule members hare you in tho family!" " Niver a one." ' What, no boys at all?"
