Mitchell entered tho Pacific with tin old Hea ver itilldoinpduty and the first tctm nhip to appear in thi-s irt of the wirld.

The late Captain 3I"cNeil and Captain Mitch pll, both gone will fill a pige in tho- futuro history of this Northwest coast, including Oregon. Washington Terri tory, and California. The above is from the Victoria Stand ard. By all old cltisons of tho Sound, of twenty years or more ago, and espe cially by thoso of Pierce County, ther old CV-otain is well remembered. For many years ho was stationed at tho Hud-on Bay post, Fort NNqu.illy, where lie was associated with Dr. Tol mie, ilr. Hugging, and other gentle man in that employ, and whi-di place ho left about fifteen years ago for Vic toria. Whipping Horses Danoeuous I would caution those who train or use hor.-es, upon another point, viz: that of evciting tlio ill-will of tho animal. Many think they are doing finely, and are proucl ot tueir success in iiore training by means of severe whipping, or otherwise rousing and stimulating tho pa-sions,. and then, from necessity, cru-hing the will through which the resistance is prompted. No mi-take can be greater than thi, and there is nothing that so fully exhibits the abili ty, judgment and skill of tho real horseman, as tho care di-plnyed in win ning, instead of repelling, the action of tho mind. Although it may be nccw sary to ue tho whip .sometimes, it should bo taken not to rouse tho pi&sions or excite tho will to obstinacy. The legitimate and proper use of tho whip is calculated to operate upon sons.o of fe.ir almost entirely. The af fectionate and better nature must bo appealed to in training a Iiorso, as well v.b in training a child. A reproof given tnny bo intended for tho good of tho child, but if only tho passions are ex cited, tho elieot is depraving and in- ttnous.

In 1SG1 it was ViJS.DoT; in 1851, (5,532,1(5:1; and in 1RH, 8,17(5,121. It has thus fallen off nearly three millions in le.s than twenty-five year". This falling otr is somewhat accounted for when wo turn to American census returns, and dis cover titat in 1S70 there wero 1,853,827 persons still living in the United States who wero borne in Ireland. There has alo been a very large emigration from Ireland to England, Scotland and Canada. During tho last ton year, according to tho Irish census tho total emigration from the island was 819,85(5, and it was not ns large during this decade as during the two previous. Tho returns as to'rcligious denomina tions show very little change from former years. The Catholics, however, have -slightly decreased iu numbers, and tho Episcopalians and Presby terians slightly increased since 18'Jl. Tito formor number -1, 150,837, tho Episcopilbuis (507,905, tho Presbyter ians J97,G18, and all other denomina tions together 1)5,S04. Who over heard of a farmer who fol lowed his calling as a legitimate and only pursuit, failing in business? And yet tho statistics show that nearly nine ty per cent, of thoso who engage in mercantile pursuits become bankrupt.
