IS t " II lit "i fK9H Sixteen as Housekeeper, I rrtolately put my Virgil out of eight, closed Molicre's heavy covers with a sigh, and gave one long, last look at my unfinished fS pay on "The Influence ol the Past upon the Present," and thon reversed my subject by descending to the kitchen to exert there the Influence of an orderly present on the chaotic past of the day, which was just drawing to a close. The preparations for the departure of the mistress of tho household, who had been suddenly called away, had so occupied us all that tho culinary department had liecn left In the mercies of our Yankee handmaiden, whose atupidity was something remai kable and her blunders unique. As I entered her domain the said handmaiden turned from tho clean clothes she was folding, arid greeted mo with the expansive smilo which usually beamed on a face as totally devoid of expression as an or- Ango.

"If you let tho kerosene can stand on tho back of tho stovo much longer, rionhrumn, 1 dou't think thero will bo any necessity of any. body keeping house long," I returned, calmly, fishing tho cat out of tho ironing lakit and rescuing my laco fichu from the oblivion of a pair of bluo-chcckcd overalls in which Soph rony had vigorously rolled it, while our help, or rathor hindrance, hastily removed thu oil can. Although tolerably well versed in other branches of housekeeping, I presume I knew JuiS as much about cooking as other girls of sixteen, who spout tho hours between !) A. h. And 4 P. M. in school; in fact, my entire reper toire consisted ot bread which, I nm happy to say, I thoroughly understood lemon pie and chocolate crenms, all very excellent in their way, but not calculated to form tho en tire bill ot fare for three week. Still I was ndowed with energy and unlimited ambition, And I looked forward to thoso weeks as wit nesses of successive ordinary triumphs, and could see the proud satisfaction with which I should say at their end, "Vcni, vidi, vici I" Alas I I first verified tho words of a moro mod ern writer, and "Learned what a noble thing it is to suffer and bo strong."

"Hut I vants to see v tiwtlreni ojfze Itoutt," with a look of profound contempt at me. "Well, she don't want to sec yon," retort I, utterly cxnsperatcd. as I slam the door in the face of the son of the sunny South, leaving him to betake himself to tho woman next door, who has a perfect chamber of horrors in a collcc.ion of scriptural tnd historical per tonag's in plasttr, ranging from a praying Samuel, whoso legs, owing to an entirely orig- fast passed oil smoothly, and I, armed with Mrs. Becchcr's "All Around a Home," studied, tho result of tho mornings marketing, Beefsteak, that I krew how to cook; potatoes, thoso I would bake; asparagus nnd spiunch 1 turned to Mrs. Heccher for aid and received it. But tho dessert?

Stopping to givo Sophronia directions about preparing tho guest chamber, 1 onco more ad dress myself to my pie, and tins timo finish and put it safety in the oven. Running up stairs, I decide to glanco ir to the west room.

When I again descend-to tho kitchen I take out my pie, ami caiefully spread its top with foamy white of egg anil put it back in the oven for a few moments, whilo I go to tho garden lor roses for my vases.

"Sophronia, it is Mr. C . Ask hitn in tho pailor, and then come and tell me," and I hurried upstairs to invest myself in a fresh white lawn.

Seattle Po-l-IntellUjencer : If we judge of what is to be from the active work now being done on the Oregon Short Line Railway, it is safe to predict the completion of the road through to Baker City, Oregon, at a very early date. Starting at Granger, the track is already laid westward a distance of eighty-two miles. Tracklaying has commenced in earnest from that, point, and is going down at the rate of one mile per day. From Granger it is 11!) miles to Soda Springs, upon which the grade has been completed, eighty-two miles of track laid and many of tho bridges put in place. From Soda Springs to Portneuf, where the line crosses the Utah and Northern, it is sixty-six miles, making a total of 215 miles from Granger. Ou this gap between Soda Springs and Pocatella graders are now at work, and already a portion is completed. West of tho Utah and Northern track is laid sixteen miles, and in about three weeks will bo completed to American Falls, six miles further. The track w'est of tho Utah and Northern is laid with broad gauge ties and rails placed to accommodate narrow gauge rolling stock. The importance of Seattle as a steamboat building and repairing point is bjt little ap preciated outside of tho limits. Until now, when two of the boats are about finished, four steamers were simultaneously building in this eity, being two sternwheelcs and two pro pellers, and all tho time from two to six stcamcis aro rcpniring. It is not uncommon in a Binglo one of the four-yards in this city to see three vessels hauled out aud in the hands of mechanics. Between builders, shipwrights, lauorers, ouuermaKers anu machinists, a very considerable portion of our population get their Hung out ef tho vessels built and re paired here, 1'ont. The Intelligencer -says : Tho sealing season of 1882 is now over. The vessels did tolerably well, butnot quito so well as they expected at the opening of the season. The sealers hare about come to tho conclusion that if the busi ness is to bo increased in future it will have to bo done by white men alone. Indians have heretofore done all tho killing. At tho appear ance of every storm they invariably insist up on going into Neah Bay, in doing which a loss of two or three dajs is often unnecessarily in curred. Again, the Indians cannot be de pended upon to work faithfully throngh the whole season. They will get a few skins, and, selling them, will go to Victoria for a few days to spend tho money. This sort of thing must contiuue as long as they are depended upon for help. The sen Is are there by the mil- lion, and there is no reason why a hundred thousand or more of them should not be taken annually. On the Labrador coast the sealing is all dono with steamers and white men, and tho fishciy hero will havo to bo conducted hereafter in a similar manner. favored as not to know d)s when it seems us if evirythiug was bent on proving tho utter depravity of all animate and maiiiinato things? Such an experience was heralded to-mo by t-lio receipt of a note from a cousin, Baying that fht had decided to stay over night with us on htr way to New York, "She will come lato in the afternoon, so 1 will have a six-o'clock dinner," I informed Sophrouit "aud I think I'll make some soup; it's so much more swell to have three courses." "La sakes, now, is it? How much you do know I Make one of your lemon pies, too. They're perliokly lovely," said she, admiring Ijr, as alio departed to thu dairy to skim milk, while I gathered together lay implements of warfare, Flourishing tho egg Water, I called after Sophronia to bring mo some milk, but receiv big no answer, I caught up the pitcher and went iu search of it myself. Hearing a strange voice, 1 peeped thtougli a crack ol tho door, and beheld tho ieo man, whom 1 more than iuipceted was oudeivoriug to win SophraniaV Bioldru affections, I, therefore, basely stayed my footsteps and listened to tho following dialogue r SojJiivitia (sympathising!)') 1 "It must be dretJul hard work, lifting that heavy ice, Mr. 6tubb." Mr. StuM-t! "Well, taint so awful easy. But, then, tf I didn't do it 1 couldn't see you, you know." i'o;Arofil "OlawlMr.Stublwl Well, 1 "pose we must all woiki I gut pretty tired -myself," Mr, Stultt "You don't look it, I'm suro, (Siphronla, weighing about Itil) pounds, cor. taiuly dots not look it.) You look as fresh ud bloomiu' -" "oophrouia," say I, ktcinly, opening the A iimrtKsroNUKNT of the Coast Mail, in writing of the region about Cooa Bay, says: On tho morning of the 27th, I and Kdward McCall.ihaii left Kuceuo City for this place, coming through in two days and a half. The first 35 miles wo traveled on horseback. At Joseph Wisman'a ranch, at tho junction of Lake and Nelson creeks, wo tarried a day to view tho .timber, lands and waters of that vi cinity. For loggini purposes, we found the timber, and other facilities first class in every respect. All along both of theso creeks there are tine bottom lands for ranchers, The tint bei on theso bottoms embraces pine, maple, alder, elder, salmon, brush and scattering fir of the largest class. After leaving Wisman's, wo footed it down Lake crock to its junction with tho Siuslaw river, a distance of - miles, nearly tho whole routo being through a heavy body of lir tim Wo then traveled a-foot, 8 miles further, to tide water, most of tho way being through bottoms, some of which aro cleared up. There aro also somo lino bodies of timber along this part ol the river, On reaching tide water, wo took a boat down thu river, some 5 miles to Wm. Palmer's nlace, where wo put up for tho night and ro- ceivrd thu lest of hospitality. Palmer has a vei v lino ranch, ono as bcautitul as l ever saw, 'fhe next day wo descended tho river to this point, (hiding it n lovely stream all tho way, lined with excellent bottom:), many of which are partly cleared, This morning wo went down to sound tho bar. When wo arrived at thu mouth oi the river thu weather was foggy, and wo went ashoro for three-quarters ol an hour, until the tide rose and thu fog lifted, so that wo could s.'e the bar plain, when wo proceeded to sound it. Tho shoalest water wo found was l'J feet, with a very low run out, it being near tho full moon, On measuring, we ascertained that the tido hail fallen all ot 8 feet, w hich would make 'JO foot of water on thu bar at high tide. e went over tho bar iu a skill, ami, m re turning, were caught m a dense fog, which caused us to loso our way ami bring up on the touth spit. Our skill' swamped, but wo staved with It, and took it through thu breakers all I kht. with tho execution of losir-i: tho oars. Cant, Cox aud Wm. Palmer lost their hats, but I saved mine, I hat will li my last ven ture on a bar w hen thero is any fog around. As tar as my observation has extended, the Suislaw- livir aud bar are among tho finest on this coast, 1 he town of Plorriico has only eight or teu houses iu it and a cannery, which runs during thu fulling srniou.

Pt. Joseph Saturday Democrat, Aug. 27, 1SS1. Sorrow and sickness is the tso common heritage of humanity, and when we see how little rs done to alleviate the miseries of the great mass of humanity we are almost out of patience with life. Even where the inten tions are best, ignorance is prone to bid tho atllicted "suffer and be strong," instead of "ministering to the mind diseased, " or laying a hand of healing on the poor tortured body. Ah 1 when Science and Philanthropy, with love and sympathy and skill, come to the aid of the sufferers, they feel as if the angel of an nunciation had drawn near. Samaritan Nervine really is salvation to thousands. I speak from a full heart when Jl say it, lor mends very near ana aear ro me have been restored to health and happiness by means ot it. . ' God bless Dr.. Richmond," said one of them to me the other day. "I feel as I know the man mentioned in Scripture must have felt when he went from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves, and when robbed and at the point of death, wa's befriended and re stored to health by the Goad Samaritan." "Yes." he contiuued, "that was exactly my condition. I have spent a fortune in doctor e bills and patent medicrnis. Every thrng I could hear of I tried, so desperate was my situation, but 1 crew worse steadily, until some kind friend told mo of the Samaritan Nervine. Since taking it I am, as you see, restored to pcitcct health. With such incontrovertible proof of the beneficent nature of tho remedy, it is not strange that an cdrtor, always solicitous for an accurate knowledge ot what could bemnt tho world in general, should take the earliest opp .rtunity of visiting tho inventor and pro- finet r of tho medicine at the World's Epi eptic Institute. Wo found the doctor in his elegant private offico busily engaged in superintending the gentleman whose business it is to attend to tho details of tho immense correspondence which is a natural result ot his wide-spread reputation. On making known our wishes, he very kind ly accompanied us in our tour of inspection through the magnificent building ana grounds. Almost as soon as we entered the olfice our attention was arrested by a wonderful collec tion of photographs, numbering somewhere in tho thousands. All nations ages and stations Blue ny biuo with tne picsure oi tne numuie artisan ; innocent childhood and withered old age showed in their counterfeit presentments tbo gratitude they could not speak ; doctors, lawyers, ministers of tho Gospel, soldiers, la borers, plain mothers of families, haughly children of wealth, ricli and poor, high and low, black and white, all were represented. It reminded me of the miracle cures of Europe, only instead of the crutches, ban dages, gold, silver and wax images of the re cuperated pilgrims, left before the shrine of the miracle worker, Dr. Richmond has as testimonials the pictures of his deeply grate ful patients. " You'must feel very hannv. doctor, when you look at this collection " we said. "Ah I 768," said the doctor pleasantly, "but if you like my Art Gallery, what would you say to my Library ?"

From thoso who resido at Colvillo, wo learn xthat vast bodies of snow still Iio iu tho mountains north and east of that section; tho weather is warm, and this enow is melting rapidly.
