SlfJLAW BEACH.
A Pea ritlure of i Eomanilc Oregon Setae
. A Pcrp at the Sri Lions.
Away out upon tho heaving breast
of the ocean a cloud-hank lay cold and
sombre-looking. TIih sun had strug
gled up through the smoke above tho
hilla to eastward, and poured a flood of
warm yellowr light all over Mwcen
graBsy slopes, green valleys, lakes and
wide expanse of tossinc billows.
Tho wind was rising with tho tido,
and whits-caps came tumbling in.
madly threatening to swallow up tho
beach and batter down thoJiiHs them
selves with fearful souiflkof surf ar
tillery. From our one small window
in the driftwood cottage, nestled closo
against the headland, we watched them
chase each other Op the sand: surge
in and out,, meeting with a crash as of
cannon and hattio smoke of sprav,
flung up and scattered on tho wiud
We were listening, meanwhile, to tales
of stormy adventure, of shipwreck and
peril on tho wild north Atlantic coast,
and the noise of wind and wave with
out formed a fitting accompaniment to
the talk within the odur walls of the
nicturtsoue littlu cottnep. Hindu briobt

and cliffy by blaze of driftwood on its
humble hearth.
An extetidi'd view is to be had from
tho summit of the hills north of the
beach, Captain, C informed us. An
lour later we Wro toiling up tho steep
trail, stopping now and then to rest
ami to look back. Still beyond and
aliove.cut like athrmd iu tho smoothly
roimdod grass-cusluonod front of the
precipitous slope, we could trace the
graceful windings of tho, path. Wo
crossed numerous rivulets, splashing
down furn-filkd hollows to full over
the cliff into the sea. Hero and thero
tall tigpr lilies bent aud swayed in the
strong breeze, and "painted cups" niad
bright patches of scarlet in soft dull
green of grass and clover that grew
thick tangled mat, all over the coast
hills, high and low", making a pfeasltiitTy
yielding carpet to the treod. A strong
fresh wind swept these airy heiyhti of
the north Pacific, and almust took one
breath sometimes, in midden delicious
gusts.
We sat down at last, up there, snme
400 feet above the reach of the
breakers, to rest and enjoy the beauti
ful scene. We had taken a position
on the verge of tho precipice, where
far down and beneath the tides had
hollowed out a little bay in the face of
the clitf and formed a snowy beach
where the wave might come to rest
when tired with wild sport outside,
Out in the breakers, beyond, stood a
solitary rock where sea gulls nested
yearly. The young were quite grown
now ami only distinguishable by their
grey plumage. Myriads of the grace
ful creatures wheeled in circles, hover
ing above their barren island home.
Southward, the incoming tide made
a foamy fringe down eight miles of
shining sand. To the left lay low
lake-uemmed valleys, wooded knolls,
running streams and groves of spruce
and pine stretching away to the mouth
of tho river. And in the midst, like a
great gleaming crystal in a setting of
greenest emerald, Lily lake, the love
liest sheet of water on the coast, re.
poses not a stone's throw from tho
beach. Wo could see as plainly as if
but a mile away, where the river, the
sinuous, deep Siuslow, cuuio down and
met the sea, making a spaco of smooth
dark blue in the lino of foaming
breakers.
How delicious it was up there in
the warm sunshine, to sit, to half re
cline on the ybilding couch; to bask in
the glow, and revel in tho new wild
beauty cf it all. Tho wind blowing
criHp with the smell of tho sea, and
delightfully cool; the muffled music of
the surf mounting ceaselessly, and, at
uncertain intervals, another sonnd, un-
fanuliar, weird, a faintly swelling cry
borne down frcm the north. Away
to westward the boundless blue of the
"beautiful Balboa was" flashed in tho
sunlight. It was a sceno . to haunt
one's dreams with pleasant memories,
to U recalled and relieved often when
days are dull and skies ore laden.
"Look all about and then tell us if
you.see anything that resembles a sea
'iotii" said Mrs. O , presently. We
obeyed, but after careful ' scrutiny of
the coast line reported "nothing.' Our
Hostess smiled and directed Our aten
tiontoa particular point somo dis
tane, two miles, perhaps, up the coast
where a great brown rock, appa-ently
much discolored, showed abovo the
seething, foaming waves, Again that
weird, wild cry, swelling faintly upon
the wind and mournfully dying.
"What was that soundl" we asked
"Sea lions on tho rocks," was tho re
ply. Thoso discolored splotches on the
big brown rocks in the breakers
thero wero sea lions. And Captai
n i ...
u inioruieu us mat there wero
fully five hundred visible from wliere
we were sittinpj. We expressed a do
sire tor a nearer viow. It was snvern
liles, r di not remember just tliedis
tance, for the trail wound in and out
and up and down tho steep groen
slopes, now hanging over tho sea till it
seemed a misstep might send one head
long into the breakers; and again ro
ceding into the ferny depths of some
ravine, so narrow, so sharply cleft, ono
could almost reach across it. Nothing
daunted, however, wo set out, after re
ceiving directions from Captain 0 ,
to visit the sea lions in their home.
After a brisk walk of half an hour we
entered a dense lir thicket, and through
this descended to the fidgo of tho clilT,
where, clinging to a scrub pino for
support, we could look down into the
toiling r surf beneath. Somo grass
grew in clefts in tho almost perpendio
ular face of tho rock, and by means of
this we carefully let ourselves down
till the showers of spray, flung up by
angry waves, warned us to descond no
further. We were not yet in sight of
tho seals, though the melancholy sound
of their roaring tono above the thunder
of the surf. Patiently working our way
along the face of the cliff, clinging to
rough projections and finding a scant
foothold iu ils clefts and crevices, we
reached at length a comparatively safo
resting plaoe' upon a narrow ledge.
where we could look" acrow a setb.Mi.:
chasm and see tho great, clunisy mon
stern tumbling about in their sea girt
fortress, roaring, barking, howling, like
licdlam let loosn in that wild, weird
spot. Five hundred! Thero must have
been t wico that number on the rocks
alone, while tho breakers seemed to
fairly swarm with smooth shilling
forms. Unwieldy and awkward as
these interesting creatures are on land,
nothing can exceed their graceful evo
lutions in tho water. We wero so closo
that we could toss a stono over among
them with caHe, yet should have liked
a nearer point of observation had it
been possible to obtain it. As it was
wo sat there with the deafening crash
of tho breakers in our ears and salt
spray in our faces, and watched them
for an hour or more, reluctant at the
last to retrace our steps along the dan
gerous path, and wave these modern
mermaids a final farewell; bo mild, so
appealingly human like, wore they in
expression, so afTectionato in manner.
"Oraarv" in the Salem Statesman.
The News of Tortland is the first
Republican paper of any importance
that has openly favored an extra ses
sion of the Legislature, although, judg
ing by unmistakable signs, tho stalwart
press of the State, with the exception
of tho Oregonian, would consider it
just the proper thing if Governor
Moody should decido to call the rolons
together. The "cow counties" aro in
significant; but if we are allowed to
express our humble opinion, if the ex
ecutive of the great commonwealth of
tho Northwest desires a IleDublican
victory in 188C, ho will let tho Oregon
egislators remain at homo during 1885,
and supply the deficiency in Washing
ton City by making an appointment

The Mormons are in sore straits.
Their chief apostlos are in hiding in
Salt Lake and dare not show fhr.ir
heads for fear of arrest, and now comes
Ilishop Shaw, a pillar of tho church,
who declares openly in court that he
will abandon polygamy and will life
according to the law. This action of
Bishop Shaw is believed by the Cen
tres to bo tho most damaging blow the
Mormons have received for a long
time. The beginning of the end is
evidently at hand.

"It has never been told," said Judgo'
Ashburn, who married Grant's cousin,'
"that Grant might have gono through

Registry Law.
A fortnight since we put tho query
to Senator Joe Simon if he had "al-
owed his registry law to dio out." Ho
assured us that tho law is in full work
ing order, and only requires action by
the several county courts of the'
State Nto provido the county clerks
with the registry books and blanks '
f ertainiug. to the Jaw.Freliminary to '
ho books being prepared for registry
purposes, some expert should prepare a
general form to bo used throughout the
Stato in tho strictest accordance with
spo ifications of the act, and we think
the author of the bill is the most com
petent to perform that service Printers
and blank-book manufacturers Bhould
not delay in setting tho ball in motion
by corresponding with tho authorities
of tho soveral counties, as there is a
ig job for one or more in that line,
which will require from now till Spring
to prepare and deliver. All citizons in
favor of fair and square elections
should take interest in duo preparation
to carry tho law into effect noxt June.
