Twenty years ago the great Ameri can Desert was the terror of the over land immigrant. It was written up in a sensational way in Eastern papers and in letters to friends. It was im- Jwssible. tp qo -around it, for if extend ed from the Colorado to the Cascades. All the routes that led to the land of promise crossed it, and it was soon covered with the bleaching bones of stock and dotted with human graves. Numerous disastrous attempts to cross firths' south -fogpnstrct most feasible road was the one that lies close to where the overland rail road now runs. It is about forty miles from the lower end of the Humboldt Sink to the Truckee River, at Wads worth, and the name, "Forty-Mile Desert," given to this stretch, lins be come known the world over. There is no water fit to drink on the whole distance, and it is a very hard day's drive for cattle or a heavily loaded team. A great many cattle were lost unnecessarily in the Srst rush to Cal ifornia by people who got nervous, and did not know how to manage. They frequently laid a day or two at the Humboldt, and started out to cross the desert in the night. Thfv then had to keep going all the next day in the hot sun, and took the worst of the road when the animals were in the poorest condition. Large bands of cattle are frequently driven now, and losses are very rare. They start out in the morning and drive leisurely dur ing the heat of the day, stopping for a good rest at noon, and in the even ing, when night comes on, they are pressed forward, and get in next morn ing. The road lies through a sandy, sage-brush plain, extendins several miles west of the lake, where it strikes an alkali desert, in the center of which the railroad has a station, that it ap propriately calls "Whito" Plains. This tains. -'Ei'ht-niiies'further isMiragej Station, -which -raicht servesas"' a ine mo'rial to" the unfortunates who have been betrayed from their proper course by the picture of running water, wav ing trees, and green fields, that existed only in tho deceptive air. Near the middle of 'the journey is a boiling hot spring at the foot of a mountain, and large beds of sale lie near, from which B. F. Leete and the Bonanza mines put up aud ship large quantities to market. The deposit has killed all vegetation for a long distnnce around, leaving the flat old lake bed as haie as a floor. Between there and Wads worth are some very odd formations. The body of the country seems to be a light, yellow substance, probably diatomous, over which He high ridges of brown hills. The level places are strewn with heavy rocks of all sizes, as black as coal. There is no timber anywhere in sight, and even the sage brush is of a scanty growth and in ferior size. On either side aro the ever monotonous brown mountains, carved and grooved by centuries of wear by wind and frost into fringes ot stony laco. The railroad has made frequent attempts to get water for its engines, but without success. They bored l',300 feet at Hot Springs, but got only a brackish mixture of liquid alkali. They haul water in tank cars for their section men between Hove- ock's and Wadsworth. and the endues make the run with one tankful, a dis tance of 61 miles. They formerly carried an extra car behind the engine, with two wooden tanks to draw from; but new engines have been built, with tanks that hold 3,700 gallons. They frequently run 75 miles without stop ping, and Nick Cole made a hundred mile run once. It is a very pleasant comparison for the rich '49er who rides in the palace car over the ground where he walked along with sore and tired feet, urging his oxen out of the thirsty desert half a lifetime ago. Reno Gazette. Gen. J. 0. P"mberton died near Philadelphia on the 13th of last month. He was born in that loyal city, of Pennsylvania parents, but his mar riage relations and army associations carried him to the Southern side of the rebellion. His name will always be associated with the siege of Vicksburg, and his stubborn defence of that "iron fortress of the Mississippi," as the con federates called it, against the army of Gen. Grant, and gave the latter his first great chance. T11K CO.SDITIO.V OF A UBALTUY UOlat. No one in the present day is ignor ant of tho main conditions of a healthy house namely, that refuse must freely ,pass from it into the sewer, that the air must not enter the house drains, that the sewer air "from tho house drains must not enter the house, that no liquid from these drains must soak into the ground under the house, that the drinking water must be preserved from contamination, and that air should be brought into the dwelling jpgms fromont&idg Tho nbjgfj proposition to inspect are, in the first instance, to inform the owner or o.ccu pier whether these essential conditions are fulfilled in the case of any particu lar house or not; and, if they are not fulfilled, to report to him what altera tions aro required in order to secure their fulfillment. Assuming the house to bo originally in a satisfactory state, or to be placed in such a state by the owner determining that the recommen dations of the inspectors shall be car ried into effect, the next work of the society is regular'periodical inspection, for the purpose of seeing whether this state is maintained. There is no mechanical contrivance for the regula tion of water supply or for the removal of refuse which can safely be relied up on to continue perpetually in good working'order; and 'much disease has been occasioned, and many valuable lives lost, by the non-recognition of this simple and seemingly almost self- evident proposition. Filters become choked with the dirt which it is their function to intercept, and, after a time, impart instead of arresting it. Pipes become corroded, traps cease to work, and constructions of the most admira ble descriptions are all subject to the deteriorating effects of time. It is to guard against the dangers hence aris ing that provision is made for the in spection of .the houses of members at proper intervals, so that th'e failures of aut;tttnBuO'UiajwOtin)OUtcfvM.t.u.M.M reasonable period, after their occur rence, and may not be suffered to re main unknown and unsuspected in the ordinary invisible parts of dwellings. We are now able to trace some dis ease of a very gra e character, such, for example, as typhoid fever, to de fective household sanitation. A very noticeable part of the consequences arising from living in an unwholesome house is a general lowering of tho tone of body and mind,, with such results as indigestion, depressing of spirits, bad temper, and the like; all liable to cul minate in impaired power of resistance to the actual causes of disease or to the effects of injury. S. F. Farmer. Jul Dues front the Government. Long before the Mexican war Capt. James Biidger, under tho auspices of tho Governor of Lower California, and at his instance, emigrated with a num ber of families into Green River valley, Utah; and for protection built an im pregnable fort of cement nnd solid ma sonry at a cost of 20,000. When the United States army went out there on tho memorable Utah war expedition against the Mormons, it sought shelter in Fort Bridger from the inhospitable winter, without which the soldiers might have perished like tho army of Napoleon on its retreat from Moscow. Then tho government rented of Capt. Bridger his fort, outhouses, fields, etc., for ten years at SGOO per annum, and at the end of ten years had the priv ilege of purchasing it when he acquired title to the same. It will be under stood that his arrangements were to ac quire title from the Mexicun govern ment, under whose auspices he went there. The country then belonged to that republic. But after the Mexican war it-was acquired by treaty and the United States government became possessed of it, and Capt. Rridger could not complete his title to three leagues square as per agreement with the Mexican authorities. When we acquired Louisiana and Florida we re spected the French and Spanish rights. Those of Captain Bridger were entirely disregarded, reversing an established rule of international law. The gov ernment took charge of Fort Bridger in 1857 and has retained it ever since, and never paid Capt. Bridger a cent an outrage which is everything but flattering to our army and government. A bill is now ppnding in Congress for his relief, but is contesU-d by the gov ernment. If justice is obtained it will be after a long and severe struggle. TOM 1U1.NE AND JOH.1 WLSLKY. J&Now let us placo over against each other Paine and Wesley. Both were Englishmen, both lived in this country, both have exerted an influence on our national life. Which is the benefac tor! Wesley was born in 1703; Paino was born in 1737. Paine, a soldier of fortune, was an Englishman, an Amer ican, a Frenchman, as revolution and fortune promised the largest reward. He was a patriot of the typo of th "Wandering Jew." Ho is remembered -Otte-NaUarm Justsry because ol th eminence of his badness. His notority is due to the boldness of his infidelity, which has thrown a historical glamour about his name. He is remembered just as are Judas and Andre and Ar nold. His infidelity placed him in bold contrast with the Christian fathers of our Republic. And were it not for this he would to-day be forgotten, as are hundreds of others identified with our Revolution. He was a vigorous writer, but gave to the world no mw and beneficent thought His "Rights of Man, written as a reply to Burke's "Reflections on the French Revolu tion," is but a restatement of other men's thoughts, and his "Age of Rea son" is but a rehash of the sayincs of other infidels, and has not the merit of a new idea, but has the1 'demerit of ignorance and abscenity. What has been tho effect of his life and works? What great charity did ha originate? What great deed merits for him the gratitude of a nation? He was re warded by the country far beyond his merits, and spent what he recoived in a dissolute old age. Is he a model for the young men of America? But let us recall the character, th life, and the elevating influence of Wesley, the ripe scholar, the fruitful writer, a true phikntrophist. the ami- ble Christian. Paine died in 1809; Wesley died in 1791. ,Behold the re- .tecSSHrfrT-Wa&eViWnTS: er in some hippodrome all the infidVLi, an the iree-lovers, all the communists, with an outside crowd of all who wish Christianity false, who despise tho marriage tie, who pour contempt on law and order, who demand license in stead of liberty, and you have tha spiritual progeny which Paine has bo- gotten. On the other hand, follow the sun in his golden course through tho heaens, and wherever he shines there are the followers of Wesley in schools of learning, bouses of mercy, halls of justice, marts of commerce, temples of piety, educating tho ignorant, feedine uio nungry, reforming the drunkard, lifting up the fallen, cheering tho dis consolate, giving permanancs to order, energy to law, dignity to Duldic senti ment, stabililty to government, value to property, morality and piety to tho people. Let the ten millions of Wes ley's followers in this country, pious, cultured, wealthy, tell the benevolenc of his life aud character. Dr. J. P. Newman. The Seattle Intelligencer is authority for the statement that there is a strong sentiment in British Columbia in favor of annexation to the United States. The reasons assigned for this desire are that by annexation th people of the province would save about half a million a year now paid out for duties on articles imported from the United States, and that the value of their coal exports is diminished 150,000 a year by the payment of American duties. Our tariff also practically excludes them from our lumber and fish market, making their immense supplies unavail able. The province has a reprpsenta tive in London laying its grievances before the home Government, but the people have very little hope of success. The picture drawn by the Intelligencer certainly conves the impression that British Columbia would benefit vastly by coming into the Union, and the Union would be no sufferer. The fine steamship "General How ard" on Klamath Lake is now engagsd pulling large rafters of saw logs from Pelican Bay to Linkville. The w mill near Linkville will soon be able to furnish all the lumber nesded i. that thriving burg. Grasshoppers ars leaving us. Mil lions of them flew to the eastward oi Saturday and Sunday.
