Getting At Tno Root Or Tho Evil.
In a letter ittst printed, Hon. (Jratz Drown,
of Missouri, takes strong grounds in favor of
proliittltnry Hqitor Ia a. Ho says:
" It is all very well tlmt tho reason bo ap
pealed to, tlio sympathy, tho love, the interest
of the individual, tho family, tho country, to
induce such alistincnco mid invito such pledges;
but whin all this it gained, what nvails if it
cannot be made permanent! The way, how
ever, to malio sure of all tho ground which is
gained in any great moral i evolution, is to des
troy the agencies of iinmoiality, i taction nnd
reduction as you go along, Leave no armed
foohchind. In this matter of tcmpoiauco 10
form it is essential. Close up tho fcaloons that
invito to tho social glass. Make it unlaw fill to
publicly vend intoxicating liijuor, under any
pretense. Send the dram-shop keepers at once
to Linking a livingin other callings that aro not
hurtful to tho public. Coricct public fcenti
mi nt as you go along by striking examples of
tho reprobation It is intcnled hereafter to visit
upon such callings. Do these things, and do
them thoroughly, and of tho 1,000 men who
hao donned tho red ribbon, or tho blue, you
Mill liml at tho end of tho year 090 will join
again in your procession, and hold tho fort.
Dtit to do this requires tho amending of tho
laws, tho revision of the statutes, tho correct
ing of local charters, tho Invocation, in short,
of tho power of tho State, and that is politcs.
It is idle to think about it in any other light.
And it is not only polities, but tho most domi
nant politics of tliis ago or country. Thcro aru
moro men to-day, throughout tho wholo West,
who aro deeply, aye, earnestly, enlisted in
having tho law niado clear and cmphatlo in
prohibition of this grc.it crlmo the liquor
trallio than in any ami all tho othor questions
dignified with tliu namu of politics which now
thin out the newspapers or dwadlo Into talk on
tho street corners. That the temperance cause
can never lo successfully engineered until it
becomes a political cause In tho sciibo suggest
ed must bo apparent to all who consider what
is wanted for its final triumph, nnd how nlouu
that want can bo supplied. Exportation proves
that liquor selling don't stoji itself. Tho his
tory of each day in tho year blazon ita crimi
nal character In tho police courts. Tho de
pressing reaction which follow reform move
ments where tho tr.illiu lomaliu unchecked tell
thu necessity of suppression. Hut the legisla
tion needed to elleet its prohibition can only
come of men sent to tho halls of legislation
commissioned to do that work llrst ami before
all else, To select such men and elect them is
politic, How such politioi shall bo best con
ducted, through what Instrumentality of asso
ciation of parties, whether by independent
movement or by dominating old organization
aro other and very different questions which
will rcqiiiro grave considerations."
Romantlo Elouomant or a Nun.
M'llo It., a French nun attached to tho bos

car to the complimontand Ircssod to her, and had
on more than ono occasion to reprimand her.
This only irritated tho young nun, nnd caused
her to hocomo disgusted w ith her life. "I can
not remain hero," alio said "I am resolved to
recover my liburty," About ten hi tho uven

Ono of the dangers of homo life is this

those whoso admiration goes for nothing,
while the hotisu companions nro treated

which, if marking the case and comfort,

which seems to urn side by side with

to this iu the young. They allow habits
of disrespect to bo formed rudo, rough,
insolent and impatient, mid salve over
the Bore with the stereotyped excuse,
"Thoy mean nothing by it," which, if thoy
look nt it aright, is worse than no excuse
at nil, for if they really do mean nothing
by it, and their disrespect is not what it
seems to be, the result of strong anger or
tincoutrolable temper, but is merely a
habit, then It ought to be conquered
without tho loss of time, being merely a
manner that hurts all parties alike.

Let any rational man think for a moment of
tho vast extent of injury such a farmer
causes to his ueighliors for maiiv miles on

action of tho wind iu scattering

quantities of them aro eaten by
birds which afterward visit farms whoso
careful, tidy owueu take niiu-h trouble to
keep them tree from weedy pests. Itnt it is
well known that seeds grow alter iMssini;
through thu bodies of birds, so that these
clean lie-Ids aro sow u w ith w ccd seeds from
tho droppings of thoo hint, and soon
either become as foul as those of tho

owner a world ot trundle to prevent bucIi a

Many who passed through the fearful ordeal
of Ih.Vt, in which nearly eight thousand vic
tims perisheil, will remember the case ol
John C, a Memphis printer. IU was a man
of splendid physique, ami handsome pres
ence, but an unfortunate love atlair had
made him reckless. He developed n "walk
ing case" of yellow fever, and for two days
ami nights roamed the streets ami frequent
ed the drinking houses uf the city, iu
spite of all his friends could do, tin
ally falling on thu street and dying
before ho could be conveyed to his lodgings,
lie would wipe the black vomit from Ins
bus, hold up thu handkerchief, critically ex
amine tho horrible exudation, and remark
with grim humor that his "entree" didn't
ajree with him that morning. Death is
dreadful at best but no diseaso presents so

Another illustration of the perils incident
to underground work iu the mines was uiven
at tliu Pliienu mine on Sundiy. Kvan Kvaus
was the unfort mate victim. It seems that he
was ascending the south shaft, tiding uu the
top of the bucket, with his left hand in tho
links of the eh tin tint connects tho cable
w ith the bucket. Iu proceeding upward tho
luuket caught somehow iu the track, and
F.vatis' huiul became entangled iu tho links
and held fast as by a vise. The engineer,
seeing the rope tighten, took the precaution
to stop the eiiiine, and is certainly entitled
to much pratso for lii carefulness, There w.u
another miner in the bucket with Kvans,
w ho, seeing the painful and helpless condi
tion of his companion, essayed tho hazardous
task of climbing up tho wot, slipp.-ry ladder
iu the darkness (for the lamps were all out)
a ditt nice of 300 feet. The Teat was accom
plished svfely.and on reaching the surface he
explained the distressing situation in which
he had left his partner in the bucket. As is
alwavs the case when an accident occurs, a
large crowd speedily gathered at the mouth
of the shaft. The eugineer lowered carefully,
so as to release thu su'Verer's baud from the
terrible grip of tho links, and ho was hoisted
to the top, I need scarcely say that Kvans
looked as pale a death from tho agony ho
had undergone. His hand and fingers were
mashesl to a jelly. Ho was removed with all
haste to San Francisco, in the hope that tho
surgeons ot that city would be aide a least
to save his hand, but not so. Tho doctor im

A correspondent writing from Oregon City
says: It is seldom that the pioneer city of
the state is brought before tho public, ns a
contributor to the ever increasing demand of
manufacturing, iu the simplicatiou of its va
rious occult arts, that I cannot refrain from
a feeling of prido and a seuso of justice to
our city from introducing to your numerous
readers a brief aconuntot Clark's attachment
for measuring cloth in thofuller,a patent for
which lie has recently been ncconled by tho
patent ollico at Washington. As its title
signifies, the patent is connected with tho
manufacturing uf woolen cloths. What has
Imjcii a question of great moment to thu
manufacturers of woolou goods for many
years, has been the discovery of
soma method that would indicate
what progress a piece of cloth was
making during thuopcrationof fulling. Un
der thu oltl system now iu general use, all
the lulling processes are comluctctl upon
guess work, which is, and has been attended
with much loss. At present there is but one
of those attachments iu use at the factory
w hicli I havo inspected. The patent is at
tached to ono of "Hunt's patent fullers."
The invention though ingeiiions is very
simple. Connected w ith the springs of thu
upper roller is an iron rod which is in turn
connected with a light wooden lover that
lifts and drops a gear-dial on to n worm
that is attached to the main guid
ing roller of the fuller. The extra
vibration created by the seam caused by
sewing both ends of the cloth together, both
puts tho indicator iu ami out of motion. The
arrangements arc so complete ami simple
that by merely moving a lever it will on the
revolution of the seam iu thu cloth nut thc
dial iu motion, thus showing the operator
w hat the cloth is doing, enabling him to ad
just the fuller accordingly. Messrs, Jacobs,
who have the managing interests of the
mills, have been so pleased that the evils
the invention has remedied, and tho good it
has accomplished, have ordered a dozeu at
tachments from au easteru firm with tho in
tention uf placing them on all their fullers.
The invention when introduced and iu gen
eral use, will and must create a revolution in
the finishing department of tho manufactur
ing of woolen cloths. The inventor, Mr.
Clarke, has already received a number of in
vitations from woolen factories on this coast
to introduce his patent.
Capt.Crcsiwell,of tho little steamer Carrie
Norton, gives us the following particulars
concerning two escaped prisoners; He says
that the man who runs tho ferry on the
Sandy crossed two persons about 0 o'clock
Thursday evening. '1 heo men wero unking
toward Washington Territory. One of them
had on a pair of handc'iitis, but thu chain
connecting them was broken. Tho ferry mail
was alone and unarmed, and did not like to
tackle tho fellows. One of them l.o with
the bracelets inquired of the ferrjuiau if
bo knew where a tile could bo obtained,
As sjou as the men reached the shore the)
broke and ran. There can le no doubt but
that these men ate. escaped prisoners,
