The Goldendale Sen tinel Bays it con
versed lately with a gentleman who has
spent several years ferrying on the Col
umbia river between Celiio and Pasco,
who said between these two points there
are numerous shoal9 and rapids that
only flat bottomed boats, drawing not
more than four feet of water, could sail j
over lit all times 6fthe3'ear. We have ne4
knowledge that this statement is correct
but if it is it has a strong bearing on the
question of a portage railway. Vessels
adapted to the traffic of the lower and
middle river would he of no account on
the upper river. Trans-shipment of-
freights would become a practical neces
sity and this is one of the strongest argu
ments used by those who favor a boat
railway as opposed to a portage. The
Sentinel is not far astray when it says
that the coBt of a boat railway would ex
ceed the value of the whole country be
tween the Cascades and, Celilo. This,
however, is a small matter where Uncle
Sam would foot the bill. The cost of
' operating the boat railway is the serious
part of the business. An annual tax of
$80,000 on the'traffic over this one ob
Btruction would, for years to come,
materially impair the value . of a boat
railway as a cheap method of transpor
tation. Uncle Sam may build a boat
railway if he wants to but Oregon wants
portage for temporary if not permanent
- relief and it is onlv a question of time
till she'll have it. .
The fanners of Centerville, Klickitat
county, have called a meeting to consider
the advisability of sinking an artesian
well somewhere in the valley. The
-artesian wells of the Yakima valley
have made that country one of the rich-
.est spot in the state and their success
hyis strongly stimulated the residents in
adjoining counties to put forth efforts to
obtain more of thein.
' The Northwest Pacific' Farmer very
truly says, "This tax question, about
which there is so much agitation, hinges
on this one point. Shall a man be
allowed to deduct his indebtedness with
out some one paying taxes on the
amount? Reason says that he should
not." No fair assessment law will ever
be passed that does not allow deduction
fc for bona fide debts and no indebtedness
-should ever be deducted that cannot be
'-assessed.
A gentleman prominently identified
with the fruit interests of this county
made the statement to the Chkoniclk
yesterday that there is not a California
orange on sale in this city that is not
covered with the San Jose scale. This
is a serious state of affairs and of threat
ening import to our fruit interests. It
implies an urgent demand for better
laws against the pests of the orchard or
a more vigorous execution of the laws
we have.
The Willamette valley papers have a
charmingly enphonious way of referring
to candidates for office. The Salem
Statesman says Jennings of LaneJ who,
rumor says, has asperations afteY Binger
Hermann's shoes, is an ever-blooming
iaskass.- How nice Mr. Jennings will
feel when he reads that.
The silver men of this country ought
to be grateful to a government that
takes all their surplus at a profitable
market price instead of demanding that
it must take all the surplus of the world
at the price of twenty years ago.

When Sheridan; Knowlea offered Mr.
Charles Kemble the "Hunchback" for
Covent Garden theater it was immedi
ately accepted. Fannie Kemble, then
in her twentieth. Year, has recorded her
first impressions of the comedy. "After
my riding lesson,", she .writes,- "I went
and sat in the library to hear Sheridan
Knowles' play of the 'Hunchback.' He
read it himself to us. A real play, with
real characters, individuals, human be
ings. It is a good deal after the fashion
of onr old playwrights, and does not dis
grace its models. I was delighted with
it. It is full of life and originality- a
little long, but that's a trifle. I like the
woman's part exceedingly, bnt- am
afraid I shall find it very difficult to act."
She was cast for Julia, her representa
tion o which Knowles subsequently ac
knowledged far outstripped his most
sanguine ''hopes. The author enacted
the part of MasterWalter. The play
was produced on April 5, 1833. The
crowded house which assembled to wit
ness Its performance was unanimous in
its appreciation, and during the latter
scenes between Julia. Clifford and Mas
ter Walter, "the audience was over
whelmed with tears." " '
- When the curtain fell, The Morning
Chronicle states, "the applause was tu
multuous, and a general call was made
for Knowles. He was confused by the
novelty of his situation, and exclaimed
that, 'conscious of his own unworthi
ness, he presumed the audience was ap
plauding their own kindness.' " The
comedy ran' to the close of the season,
being only interrupted by a few benefit
nights. Chambers Journal. .
' Personal Appearance of St. Paul.
The following fragment of early Chris
tian literature is unquestionably of great
antiquity, some of the foremost writers
on Christianity having gone so far as to
attribute it to St. Paul himself. The
copy from which it was . taken is in
Greek, and is now reposing in the
Bodleian library, Oxford, England:
When Paul was 'going up to Iconium,
as ne nea rroin Antiocn, be was accom
panied by Hermogenes and Demas, men
full of great hypocrisy. But Paul, in
tent only on the goodness of God, sus
pected no evil of them, loving them ex
ceedingly, making the Gospel of Christ
pleasant nnto them, and discoursing to
them of the knowledge of 'Christ as it
had been Tevealed to him. 4
But a certain man named' Onesiphor
ous, and his wife . Lectra, and their chil
dren, Simmia and Zeno, hearing that
Paul was coming to Iconium, went
forth to meet him," that they might
receive him . into their house, for Ti
tus had. informed them of the personal
appearance of Paul, but as yet they had
not known him in the flesh. Walking,
therefore, in the king's highway, which
leads toward Lystra, they waited, ex
peebng to receive him. Not long after
they saw Paul coming toward them. He
was small of stature, bald, his legs dis
torted, his eyebrows knit together, his
nose aqueiine, but was in all a .man
manifestly full of the grace of God, his
countenance being sometimes like that
of a man and then again like that of an
angel. St. Louis Republic. .
Klderly Men and Exercise.
While the elderly man has less capac
lty for some forms of exercise than the
younger adult, he has no less need than
the other of the general and local exer
cise. It is in the earliest period of
mature age that the most characteristic
manifestations of defects of nutrition
obesity, gout and diabetes, in which lack
of exercise plays an important part are
produced; aud the treatment of them de
mands imperiously a stirring up of the
vital combustion. Placed between a
conviction that exercise is necessary, and
a fear of the dangers of exercise, the
mature man ought therefore to proceed
with the strictest method in the applica
tion of this powerful modifier of nutri-
tion.
It is impossible, however, to trace
methodically a single rule for all men of
the same age, for all do not offer the
same degree of preservation. We might,
perhaps, find a general formula for the
age at which the muscles and bones have
retained all their power of resistance,
and at which the heart and vessels begin
o lose some of their capacity to perform
their functions. The mature man can
safely brave all exercises that bring on
muscular fatigue, but he must approach
with great care those which provoke
shortness of breath. Popular Science
Monthly.
Humorous Toasts.
A publisher once gave the following:
"Woman, the fairest work in all crea
tion. The edition is large and no man
should be without a copy."
This is fairly seconded by a youth
who, giving his distant sweetheart, said,
"Delectable dear, so sweet that honey
would blush in her presence, and treacle
stand appalled." . ' -
Further, in regard to the fair sex, we
have: "Woman, she needs no eulogy;
she speaks for herself." "Woman, the
bitter half of man." - '
In regard to matrimony some bachelor
once gave, "Marriage, the gate through
which the happy lover leaves his en
chanted ground and returns to earth."
At the marriage"bf a deaf and dumb
couple some wit wished them "unspeak
able bliss."
At a supper given to a writer of come
dies a wag said: ."The writer's very good
health. May he live to be as old as his
jokes." .
From a law critic: "The bench and
the bar. If it were not for the bar,
there would be little use for the bench."
A shoemaker gave, "May we have all the
women to shoe, and all the men to boot. "

German Easier Than French to Acquire.
. German is on the whole easier than
French; its character is in - accordance
with the genius of the English language,
and, if it has retained inflection of the
sentence, making it necessary to put the
verb at the end of every subordinate
clause, this peculiarity does not consti
tute any special obstacle in the way of
progress. Boston Herald,,
