Midyj-etoWed to break up iti American
educational system and recall all the
jMBg student 1 nowin Eastern colleges.
-Three
good things are now tolerably
certain: The recovery of the Presi
dent,, the unity of toe Republican
party, aad the conversion ot Bob In
garselL Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
declares that the people of the South
detest the crime of Guiteau, and hail
with joy the reports of the President's
gradual recovery;
- i
Garfield eaid a year ago that he ex.
1 petted tc lire to be 80, and it looks
aow-as-if providence didn't intend that
a wretch like Guiteau should disap.
point his reasonable expectations.
m
It looks now as if that life insur
ance company in which the President
holds a policy for 25,000 would not
be immediately called upon to pay up.
We think they can safely invest that
sum for a number of vears.
The heat has been very intense in
the states. In the seven days ending
July 16th in Cincinnati there have
been 261 deaths from sunstrokes, 150
from excessive heat, total 414 deaths.
The greatest number from these causes
was on July 14, which was 86.
The announcement was made at the
psning of the present month that the
National Treasury has during the last
fiscal year made a reduction in the pub
lic debt of a round hundred millions of
dollars. This is indeed a great reduc
tion and shows the soundness of our
national finances under Republican
management.
W. L. Smith, Division Agent of the
C. k O. Stage Co., informs the Red
ding Independent that McNatnara,
who was arrested in Washington for
threatening to shoot Secretary Blaine,
used to be porter in the Redding Hotel
in the early history of the town. Mr.
Smith represents him as a half-cracked
Udiridtal, and says he used to furnish
the boys much amusement by his cc
ceStriciues. - - - w
FrHaj afternoon, July 15th, a fear
ful cyclone swept over the towns of
New TJlm, West Newton and Sever
ance, Minn, doing immense damage to
property and destroying, so far at.
known, 14 lives. The particulars are
still very meager at the wires are pros
trated. It Erems that two currents of
air swept the valley simultaneously,
coming. from different directions. The
oene was appalling. Stone and brick
buildings were razed to their founda
tions, and the air was full of debris.
Nwe Ulm and its suburbs are now a
; of ruins.
Robert Toombs, of Georgia, is re
ported to hare said recently: "I do
not recognize Mr. Davis's history. It
would have been a great deal better
for him and the South if it had never
been written. Most of the people in
this country regret that it ever was
written. The truth is, the bulk of the
Soutli pity Davis rather than admire
him. The trouble with Davis was,
and is, that he has an exalted idea of
his own importance. He has some
ability, but no nerve, and has not the
lightest capacity for managing men.
I have nothing against him except his
follies."
It is now a month since the election
was held in Portland, and still the
mayoralty is undecided. Seating
Thompson's successor is now banging
apon a disputed ballot (No. 200) which
was counted for Simon by the city
council. But as Thompson's friends
ware dissatisfied to have Simon sworn
into office on the strength of that bal
lot both parties agreed to refer the dis
pute to Chief 'Justice Lord of the Su
preme Court of Oregon. But that cen
tieman declines to act as arbitrator,
and the trouble between Thompson
tad Simon will begin again in the city
eouncil.
Hon. Henry Stanbsiy, ex Attorney
General under President Johnson, died
in Naw York City June 25. He was
born in that city in 1803; studied law
at Steuben ville; afterwards was a mem -ear
of the bar at Lancaster, Ohio. His
residence for several years bas been
Kentucky, four miles south of Coving
ton. His practice was in Cincinnati
chiefly office practice. He was a mem
ber of the Cincinnati Bar Association,
and for years was its President All
the bar here revered him. It was his
especial delight of lata years to take
bright young nira as law students.

lake as a Betert
Seek tn.
fr FlMsmr
Twenty-nine miles south of west of
Jacksonville, like a gem in the high
Siskiyou mountains and at an elevation
of nearly 4,000 feet above thi level of
the sea, are situated two of the most
picturesque lakes on the Pacific slope.
We refer to the Squaw lakes the up
per and the lower two beautiful pla
cid bodies of water of nearly equal di
mensions, covering a surface each of
of a mile in length and of a mile in
width, and surrounded by towering
mountains. The upper lake distant
about a quarter of a mile up the moun
tain (due south), is fed by the melting
snows of the higher SiskiyouB, and dis
charges its waters through a very nar
row and densely shaded ravine into the
lower lake, the fall between the two
lakes being 60 feet. The surplus wat
ers of the lower lake escape through a
very narrow aperture into the canyon
and creek bearing the same name,
and the impetuosity and noise with
which they rush down these steep
heights is a sight well worthy of no
tice. The waters of the lakes are as
clear as crystal, 120 feet deep, measur
ed in May last by Isaac Dobell and
Henry Carter. Both lakes abound in
different kinds of mountain trout.
Fishing parties have on various occa
sions noticed this peculiar fact: The
fish of the upper lake are of a whitish
silvery character and the meat of the
same hue, whilst the fish of lower lake
are the ordinary speckled trout, with
the meat resembling a light flesh color.
Both species have adelicous flavor, and
nre sought with avidity by amateur an
glers. The skiff of Henry Carter,
whose lonely but spacious log house
stands at the south shore of the lower
lake, is at all times at the service of
visiting tourists and pleasure seekers.
This hospitable hermit believes in sin
gle blessedness, is a North Carolinian
by birth, of extraordinary physical
ability, and is six feot and 2J inches in
height Nature having endowed him
with great bodily strength, he built
single handed and alone two ca'iins or
rather two large sized log houses, one
higher up the mountain and the other
nearer the lake shore. He had no one
to help him in the work of hewing out,
preparing and finishing the log, rafters
and flooring of his new mountain home.
Every Jog has bcenneatlyjiewed with
a hroad-a, and the flooring rasfftfc
of boards "frowed" out of timber on
the ground, which were afterwards
smoothened with & planer. All the
lumber used about the premises was se
cured in like manner. Besides taking
care of about 150 head of cattle, Mr,
Carter cultivates about 25 acres of
land. His timothy, oats, alfalfa, and
wheat, as well as potatoes, etc., prom
ise a bounteous yield. Mr. Carter is
perfectly familiar with the intricate
geography of the mountains of hun
dreds of miles. He is also an expert
marksman and many are his trophies
in this line. Many a bear, panther
and mountain lion has been brought to
grief by his trusty rifle. Although
far away from the conveniences of or
ganized society, Mr. Carter feels as
happy as a king in his isolation, and
he says there is scarcely a week but
that some one calls at his place.
Speaking of the main lake Mr. C.
said it is now seven feet lower than it
was before the Squaw Lake Mining
company pr-t in the bulkhead, and is
now fully 25 feet lower that it was on
the evening preceding the great freshet
of last winter which took out the bulk
head.
Prof. J. W. Merritt and James
Elliott, who spent the better portion of
last week at the lakes, returned to
their homes in this city on Saturday,
highly pleased with their trip and con
siderably recruited in health. They
went per wagon as far as the mouth of
French Gulch, about 21 miles from
Jacksonville, and the balance of the way
(about 8 miles) they went per trail,
leading and walking after their pack
animals. During their sojourn at tha
lakes they caught 115 fish.
Misuari Train Itbtxn.
The Rock Island train which left
Kansas City at 6:30 p. St., July 15th,
when it reached Weston, Platte coun
ty, Mo., was boarded by a band of 13
desjieradoes, who after killing the con
ductor and a man whom they mistook
to be the engineer, took chirga of the
train. The express box containing
about $10,000 in money was robbed
and an effort made to go through the
passengers, many of whom when they
saw what was up jumped off the train
and hid in the brush. The robbery
was the work of about 15 minutes, and
the desperadoes hastily left when the
brakesman brought the train to a
standstill by putting on the air brakes.
Jesse James, the great outlaw, is sup
posed to be the leader of the band. So
far no trace has been found of the
whereabouts of the highwaymen although-great
effort is being made to
captor thus.

The oration of Congressman George
at Albany on the 4th of July, publish
ed in extenso in the Herald of that
place, is spoken of as one of the finest
efforts of his life. The subject matter
of the discourse was the "Future of the
Great Northwest," which compared in
the light of the past and the present,
was vividly portrayed, impressing
every one that we, as a section, are on
the threshold of a great and prosperous
destiny. Aside from our favored geo
graphical location, our natural resourc
es were just now attracting the atten
tion of the.millions of the east, tens of
thousands of whom were awaiting the
completion of ths railroad lines to get
here, without undergoing the perils nf
a sea voyage. Speaking of the rapid
growth of the states ana cities of the
upper Mississippi valley, and of the
agencies at work to develop our North
west, Mr. George said:
The aggressive, ever sterring, con
quering people are advancing on north
ern latitudes. Along this line of
progress and growth there is rolling on
ward toward us a ceaseless tide' of im
migration, an irresistible stream, pour
ing across tlie states and territories on
the plains toward the golden sunset of
the west. It is coming, coming, when
the flood-gate barriers are opened by
the hand of cipital and labor and bands
of steel have bound us with the east,
who can tell what the grand future has
not in store for the North westl Those
of us here should take time by the fore
lock, and the most practical hint I can
throw out is to say that the richest
and most valuable farms of the nigh
future will be on lands to-day wate
and nfgJeQted. Those who are doing
veil and havefairbusiness prospects
ahead can let welt enough alone-tixurj
will bring itsancrease; but to those un
fortunate in these resects I would
suggest, look well to what the future
will sarely bring, and ere it is too late,
and while you are on the ground, pre
pare yourselves to reap some of its
great harvest.
Tfltrrc Shall tbe Ballroad so?
Ex-Governor Irwin of California,
the other day in Yreka, expressed the
opinion to our townsman, B. F. Dow
ell, that the Central Pacific people are
not very anxious to connect with the
Yillard system of railroads, hence their
apathy in extending the line northward
from Redding. May not the same be
said as regards the intentionsof VillardJ
According to indications now before us,
Villard is not very anxious to go to
San Francisco via Redding, but will
shortly find some other route to the
Bay City, and in doins; this he will go
through one of the grandest timbered
regions in the world. The vast forests
of white pine, white cedar, red cedar,
redwood, etc., alone will furnish freight
enough to keep the road busy for fifty
years. We refer to the route from
Vannoy's ferry on Rogue river to
Waldo, Crescent City, Hurabolt Bay,
up South Fork of Eel river, down
Russian river to Clorerdale and San
Francisco. Besides being a much
shorter route from Portland to San
Francisco Bay, on this line Mr. Yil
lard's Oregon and California road
would be entirely independent of the
Central Pacific corporation. This 1-ne
through by Waldo, though not alto
gether what we at this end want is
still near enough to get all the traffic
and travel of Rogue river and Shasta
vallies aa well as a great portion of the
Lake county trade.
Brother Boston Corbett deserves a
xvord of praise at this late date. Tbe as
nasMn.8 of rulers seek notoriety. Noth
ing feeds their gluttonous vanitj like
a public trial, and nothing stimulates
the growth of their kind like the c
tacle of their notoriety. If John
Wilkes Booth had been tried, he and a
morbid class of admirers would have
reveled in it. But Boston Corbet shot
him don in the barn like a dog, and
worse than a dog he was. Law abid
ing citizens do not like Lynch-law; but
if when or before policeman Kearney
had seized Guiteau in his "vice-like
grasp" the retch had met the fate of
Booth, the best men would have found
lesa difficulty in being resigned to the
homicide than nnder any other con
ceivable circumstances. Now the law
must take its slow, and perhaps feeble,
course.

The best Wa$on on Wheels
far the following reasons r
1. More cure is taken In the selection
ot stock; only good, solid butt-cut timber
being used.
2. The Wheels are all soaked in Boil
ing Linseed Oil.
A. Evenr part is strongly braced; and
instead of ban? bolted, is clipped, so that
the full strength of the wood is secured.
4. The Tires are securely bolted, aftsr
being thorongbiy and carefully set.
5. The Skeins are heated before driven
on, and set iu M hite Lead ; consequently,
when cooled, contract, making a perfect
lit and imposibl' to work loose.
It is the only Wagon on which "Holmes'
Patent Sclf-'Jiiinc -keins" are used, the
whole richt and title bavin? been pur
chased. The principal points of superior
ity over all other Skeins, are: 1st. Bear
ings are perfectly straight, which does
away with side-draught. 2d. Has a per

t remove the wheel to oil. 4th. W ill re
tain oil longer, having an oil-chamber, and
so constructed that oil cannot runout at
