Fmer3 will do well o caII on me before making arrnemnto thevhm TisOTja- The mission of America has be come from its suggestions of politi cal bombast a most unsavory theme. It may command from loyal thinker, however, some earnest consideration. The position of America geograph ically, as the fartherest west of the great centers of civilization; historic ally, as the latest developed; and po litically, as invested with the highest preogatives of freedom, render her the law where the world's theories are to receive thuir final test, the world's torces their final adjustment. Already the great problems of self government, of church and state, of slavery and freedom, have been met and solved. Now pressing close up on us come the Negro, the Indian, and the. Mormon and. flowing into the surging turbu lent sea, streams of for eign immigration, each with its elu emnt of discord. Irish fanaticism' German infidelity ,French eommun ism and Chinese heathenism. The task of assimilating all these elements while maintaining our nationality, the strength of our government and the purity of social life bequeathed ns by our country's Puritan founders, is a task beside whose tremendoi s importance th-e tasks of other nations seem but adventurous pastime. The influence of the diverse ele ments is revealing itself in the com plexity of our civilization and the in stability of our thoughts. Five peo ples in succession on the soil of Britain fought for supremacy; five factors en tered to constitute the "world-man." To-day a hundred peoples meet on our shores fiihling in peace their great moral conflict. These hundred peoples form each a factor in the character of the new "world-man," and each a force to affect the direction of the national life. Their influence is every where. The three great ques tions of "man" "the universe" "God", in the many read phases which have been developed over the world and down through time, meet here to gether till Si c alism and Nihilism in fcooiety, Materialism in science, Tramueiidentalisni and Empiricism in philosophy, and Pantheism, Pos itivism, Atheism and Agnosticism in religion, confuse the reason and pervert the heart. The American is characterized by his restlessness of mind and nervous fitful energy of ae lion, and the American character is but a natura 1 sub-growth of Ameri can democracy. To satisfy the conditions of life in this age and country therefore a thorough education and, I will add, a thorough christian education is im perative and its needs should be im pressid unceasingly. Only the man with keen perceptions, acute judg ment, and the powerful grasp of sys tems which comes through close triiiiiins, is fi'ted to think his way independently through the vital questions that will challenge him at every step of his advance. This section is as yet too isolated to feel the hot blood of the nation throbbing along its veins. It is un reached by the impetuosity of East ern life aod too much absorbed m the officionsness of the bread and bntLor mixtion to concern itself -a much over the speculations of meta physics. A few years however, must bring us into the arena to measure our powers and test our faculties. Are we prepared ? As higher education is imparted in the East two objections are urged which will hold equally here when a more populous civilization shall make the division of labor general and zrades of society more marked The first is negative, that the student is not rendered by his train ing self supporting: the second posi live, - that a feeling of gentility is generated which is opposed to wor shipping at any shrine other than that of the three "blaek deities" law, medeoine, and theology. That the objections embody truth is unquestionable, but that they should furnish grounds against higher education brings a regret. The same truths might bold in a lesser degree against oar primary system. (To H continued.) An eminent English writer says that Americans enjoy less real lib erty, "outside of political rights, than the people of any country in Europe. He says we accept our fashions in everything from Europe in a blind and slavish acquiescence in marked contrast with our jealousy of polit ical interference and despotism. From somewhere comes periodical. y a decree in fashions, against which no American woman dare to rebe.'. However ill-suited to climate 01 com plexion, the style is inexorab'e. The contest is simply as to precedence in acquiescence. No one dares to re volt. Thus upon the American peo ple are fenced fashions in dress for men, women and children, house fur nishings, and even house architecture, often most preposterous and barb ir ons. As in China, the inherited spir it of obedii-nce stands squarely in the way of every effort at progress. It is a question whether their never ehanging fashion is more inimical to the growth-' of correct taste than our ever-changing styles. About as Tiuoh liberty and discretion is allow ed in one as the other. They accept their grandparents' clothes because they were the fashion, and wo often do the same thingbecause they wiil be. The authority in equally shad owy and do.iblfoi in both cases. In dianapolis Journal.

After the entertainment came a dance in which everybody participated. It is hoped the society will in the near future, give the pub lio another exhibition and they; may be assured of a full house.

Among the many beautiful valleys anrt tracts of country, jcomparatively unknown even to many in our own country, may bo mentioned Lobster and Five river valley. This lovely little valley is situated about six miles south-west of Alsea valley and can be reached only by trail over the range of bills which generates the Alsea from the Lobster. The valley is about fifteen miles long and from half a mile to a mile in width. The soil is a rich black loam4 remarkably fertile and adapted to the production of a great variety of crops. On either side of the valley the hi'ls are generally low, com paratively free from timber and brush and well adopted to grazing and dairy purposes.. rOPULAUON OF THE TALLBY. This excellent little valley is a. yet, but sparsely populated tharo being but eight or ten families who have located here and decided to make it their homes. Thes people are peaceable indu.itriou3, energetic and law abiding citizens. They have taken their claims immediately adjoining each other in the order .if settlement, thus mak ing a neighborhood (sufficiently compact to enable them to have schools, churches and the usual auxiliaries of civilized society. This proximity of ranches and compactness of settlement of which the valley is suscept ible, is the result of the exceptionally good character of the lands, and is a consider ation of no small moment to men locating there with families, for otherwise, ran ote uess of neighbors and associates would sub. . ject them to considerable inconvenience. THB CXIMATJC. Situated as it is on tho western slope ot the Coast mountains, it has a mud aua ex cellent climate. Very little snow ever falls, and what they havo seldom remains ruoro than two or three days. Indeed it is believed that no locality in Oregon possesses a mora pleasant and healthful climate tna this. HUNTING AND WSHINO. Tho sportsman, who delights in the pastime of hunting and fishing, can indulgo these propensities here to his hearts content. There is an abundance of game snch as deer bear elk etc. and the streams abound with fish of the most choice varieties, such as salmon, trout and the like so that the settler, who has taste or inclination in this direction, need never be without an abun dance of the most choice articles of diet for his table, of tho kinds indicated. In the particular part of the country mentioned there is yet room for about fifty more fam ilies, where lands of the most excellent character await the tillage of the husbands man. CONFLUENCE OF THE LOBSTER WITH FIVIT RIVERS. Eight miles below the settlement men tioned, tbe Lobster empties into Five rivers. along which stream to its confluence with the Alsea, are thousands of acres of good bottom and hill lands, susceptible of sue? taiuing at least 150 families wore. Here is to be found an attendance of excellent tim ber such as fir, red cedar, alder and as fiue maple as can tap seen on the coast. TRANSPORTATION MARKETS ETC. The Alsoa Bay is the natural outlet of all this country. The surplus products of Lob ster and Five rivers can be taken in flat boats down these streams to the bay, whew the special inducements to the development of the lumber and mercantile interests gen erally, are of an exceptional character. A road from Alsea valley to tidewater is al ready in contemplation and will be built next winter, when the trade of the entire country above described will find its way to the bay. It must not be forgotten in this connection, that congressman George has manifested a commendable interest m this country and has asked Congress for an ap propriation of $2,500 with which to un 1 -. 11... H ku alam aomired an pruvB lioc mii 1. order from the department to have the en trance to the bay properly marked with buoys. The early completion of the Oregon Pacific E. R. from the Yaquina bay to the Willamette valley, which is now regarded as a certwnty, will also have an important commercial bearing on the country decrb4 in this article When this road is complet ed, the country mentioned herein will have an easy aud ready outlet and market forall its surplus commodities. From the above considerations we reaoh the cooolnsipn that the Lobster and Five nver country PreBS ndncements to the immigrant of a most ex t optional and inviting character.
