Jacksonville, Not. 10, 1881 O.X TOWARDS OULUO.V. What the Central Purine l'ropo To Dr. Orcgonian.Dec. 28. Monday evening Gen. Charles Cad walader, engineer in charge of the Oregon branch of the Central Pacific railroad, arrived here overland and registered at the St. Charles. To a representative of the "Oregonian" who called on him last night for informa tion concerning the outlook for a con nection with Oregon, Gen. Cadwa'ader said in substance: We have a contract to meet the Oregon &. California extension at the stajfl line. This will require about one hundred and forty-two miles of road north from Eeddingl In the prosecution of this work wo will be governed entirely by the progress of the Oregon people. If they put one thousand men on the line, we will era ploy a like number, and if they put on five thousand men, we will. Fifty miles north from Redding have already been permanently located. Forty miles of this fifty was surveyed six years ago, but the marks have become partially obliterated and a party is out now re tracing them. Another party has commenced at Mount Shasta and is locating the heavy work southward. There will be seven or eight tunnels between Bcddin and Shasta, whoso aggregate length will be about 4000 feet, the longest being nearly 1700 feet. But tunnels now are not the bugbears to engineers that they were a few years ago. One 30U feet long will save us a mile and a half of road, and-the long tunnel, which i3 the only obstacle of ay importance, will save us five miles. The work will be hard nearly all the way, but presents no crcat engineering dilliculties, and there is nothing to prevent the company from finishing its part of the contract VITHIX EICHTKEX MONTHS From the day it is commenced. Tlio maximum grade from Red BlutFto the foot of Shasta, 110 miles, will be 52 teet to me mile: up .Mount biiusta tor iJ 1 .j SJ Ti J! 15 miles, UC feet to the mile, down Shasta, 90 feet, then follows a very easy grade through the valley to the foot of Siskiyou mountain, and from thero to the meeting point we will have HG-foot grades. Except the culverts, the company will do its own work as it can cet all the men wanted. Every foot of road will be built in the most solid manner. Instead of trestles, masonry will be laid and all bridges will probably be built ot iron. Esti mates have been made long ago, the company knows exactly what the road will cost, and II IS THE MONEY TO PUSH IT THROUGH. How soon this will be accomplished depends entirely on the progress of the Oregon and California extension south. "Will the road pay, when fiuishedl" asked the reporter. "Will it pay?" ejaculated General Cadwalader. "Why, it will do more through business than the Central Pacific is doing to-day. The Redding branch is now one of the best invest ments of the Central Pacific, and it be gan to occupy the field when one four horse stage did the entire passenger and mail business. Portland is going to be a great railroad center, just like Chicago, Indianapolis and Kansas City. The travel which centers hero will naturally drift to San Francisco. Peo ple who corns to Portland via the Northern Pacific, will return by the Central or Southern, and vice versa; and they will not discard a furnished sleeper in which they can make the trip of seven hundred miles in twenty eight of thirty hours, for an ocean voy ago of three to four davs. Besides the Canadian Pacific is bound to come to Portland. If tlioy don't, somebody will build to connect Portland with their terminus; and their passengers will not take the ocean voyage to San Francisco. The products of Rogue river and intermediate valleys will pour into San Francisco as naturally as water runs down hill. Yes, the road will pay." Old Father Ridgley, as he was often called by his friends, was on Wednes day, Nov. lGth, called from Baltimore to the Supreme Lodge on high. Broth er James L. Ridglev has been Corres. ponding and Recording Secretary of tho Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of tho United States since 1842. He is dead, but his memory lives ami will be revered and cherished bv the fraternifv throughout the length readth.of the land. StrtUSlMIO.NSOFTIIESE.l. How far tho race has traveled in tho past two centuries toward common sense may be seen in the following statement from the records of 1716. In this year a Mrs. Hicks and daugh ter were tried as witches in England. Among other things they were said to raise storms and wrecked ships by pull ing off their shoes and making with them a lather of soapsuds. Auothcr old witch in Deveonshire was popu larly reported to raise storms. A visit to her cabin brought to light several implements of her incantations. A mop-handle had the head ornamented with a miniature fail and a dried fislu The witch of Fraddani, alluded to in the "Legends of the Specter Ship," cruises still off the coast of England in her coffin, and raises storms. At St. Leven, Cornwall, is a cubical pile of stones called Madge Figge's Chair. A witch so named was fabled to sit there and conjure up storms. Another Dev onshire tradition relates that three witches boarded a vessel at sea, feasted on the rich food, and sunk the vessel. Another witch, Charlotte Barclay, was said to have caused the wreck of a ship by molding a figure in clay and casting it in the sea. The two storm-spirits sent against Frithjof's ship were tle" - witches Heyd and Ham, and Norwe gian seed woman boiled seed to raise a storm. An old woman named Lcckie, living in Sonierseshire, England, was said to have caused storms. She would come to the pier and cairfor a boat. If it came, all in it would be wrecked. If it did not come, the same fate awaited them. She appeared in her own shape on her son's vessel, and raised a storm by blowing a tin whistle, when the ship was wrecked, but' tho men saved. Seamen affirmed they often heard the old lady's whistle in a gale. A witch on tho Isle of Man wan said to have caused a storm and the loss of many of tho herring fleet. She was put in a spiked barrel and ronedjLysrTntotlTe -roians.' General Sherman wept Uie'.othrr day, after hearing "Marching through Georgia" played at a banquet. His neighbor, General Grant, asked him: "Whercfcro dost thou weep." The Gen eral answered: "I never was so all fired sorry I marched through Georgia as I have been in the last five years. Georgia be darned. The people are good enough, but I'm listening to that tune for the 3,4G5,857th time. "How would you like Ulysses," he continued, "to hear that infernal melody over three million times They have socked it to me from Maine to Texas, and from Florida to Toronto," and hear ho wept afresh. But General Grant quiet ly petted the little hero on the shoulder, and said, "Sherry, it is only one of the penalties of greatness. I suffer worso than you do I've had seven million cigars given to me because people think I like to smoke, S24 bull pups, and more horses than I can count. Sherry" continued the General, "whenever 1 see a horse, a cigar, a bull pup, I feel just as badly as you do, but I never give way to my feelings. I I sell'em." "Yes" answered Sherman between his sobs, "you can sell cigars, bull pups and horses, but I can't sell that d d tune for five cents. "Unknown Liar of the New Orleans Times." A Terrible Turnntulo. Oliver C. Waddell, who recently re moved to this State from Texas, set tling along Stone river, in Stone county, was bitten a few days ago by a taran tula. He-was on a hunting expedition in the mountains, and had camped un der a large pine tree. Some time dur ing the night the insect crawled in be tween the blankets which enveloped him as he lay before the tire, and bit him twice once on the finger and again on the arm near the elbow. 11" was awakened by a tingling sensation in that part of his body, and, arousing himself, discovered the cause, and sue ceeded in killing tho tarantula. It was: as largo as the hand of an ordinary man. Waddell's hand and arm began to swell rapidly, and before ha could 1 get to the nearest house, some four or J five mile? away, the poison had spread! apparently to parts of his body. It was some time before he could obtain medicui skill, and when the physician arrived Waddell was found to beyond hope. Ho lingered some time, however, dying in the afternoon. The case is a singular one, from the fact thatit proves that the tarantula is capable of inflict ing a death wound. "LouisvilU Cour ier Journal." 7 -- I t W I
