r-iad who is well posted in regard te

querv, liiiow niauv iminigiauts came
into 0n.gon and Washington during
the year enuieg June l,Mr. Hansen?''
says:
'Fully 30.000 came in during the
twelve months ending June 1. In
this estimate tourists are not counter!
tut those coming by both rail a .id
steamer . are included... file new
Wisconsin, Dakota and California.
Not a few from the latter State came
trorn Atendooino, Colusa and San
Beinaidiuo counties. The Big Bend
country is being settled up rapidly
by those new comers, so are various
portions of Oregon and Washington
Territory.
"The largest month was April,
when nearly 8.000 immigrants ar
rived. I think August and Septem
ber will show larger totals than
April did."
Every man who thinks
at all
(anu thinking is a rare gift) has
formed some ideal of life. He has
his cherished aspirations and secret
aims. Some beautiful dream ol
youth may have haunted him in
manhood, acd hoping against hope
he may have been unable to part
with it, even in old age. He
knows, perhaps, that it can never
he realized, that every effort he
makes is a Tain effort, and yet he
will not let it go, since it would
be parting with what is as dear to
bini as life. That such a man
should suffer from regrets is in
evitable, but it is not so certain
that he needs our pitv. It is surely
better to aspire and to fail than to
have no goal for the spirit at all.
Perhaps the secret, regrets of life
are the weightiest, and chiefly on
this account that they are incom
niuuieabie. The man who respects
himseli, and is conscious that hi:
anient hope will never be satisfied
does not proclaim his grief to tht
win Id, nor, in ail probability, doe:
lie teil it to his nearest Iriend. 11'
vea-s ins shirt of sackcloth, and
conceals it under fine linen. The
regrets caused by our own folly or
incapacity are among the most
painful to endure. A girl, bysom
actor waywardness, has lost her
lover : a man. bv his careless con
ducr, h.-is missed a post that might
have led to fame and fortune. A
word, a look, an Ubjust suspicion,
has broken hearts beloie now; and
many a person, owing to a lata!
error in youth, has walked ever
atteiward in the valley of humilia
tion. Then: is no comfort in lee!
ing you will act more wisely
another time, for that other time
neyer conies. You have no more
powder in your llask, no more
arrows iu your quiver; and now
you are 1 ft to bear, as best you
may, the consciousness of
defeat. There is but one sorrow
more lasting and more poignant
than this, and thatis when a man
knows that his defeat in life's battle
has been due to vice or to any
laxity of principle. The regrets
common to the race, being com
num. are more readilv endured.
We sutler deeply, but our grief is
not without alleviations. As the
years move on there is not a mui
but may confess with Dogberry
that he is -'a fellow that hath had
losses." Friends die and leave u.,
esolate; but our grief, hitter
though it may be, is softened bv
the thought that those we love
have leached the haven where thev
would be. It is worth noticing.
and indeed, when one comes to
think of it, the tact is very signifi
cant, that regrets never follow
Virtuous actions. -London Illus

crest Fi(i;iiiu in the (olumbia.
Arlington, June 3. The bodj of
a yuiig woman was discovered float
ing m the Columbia ly a lishcrnian,
named Cape. Babhe. yesterday morn
ing near the Willows and word sent
to this city to the coroner.
Ur. bacon, the county coroner and
number of citizens went up to the
Willows and an inquest was hel l,but
no verdict at as part oi tne lury be
lieved the woman came to her neatli
by violence and others by drowning.
The bodv .was then brought to this
city to a watt developments. T
There are several theories about
the case, one being that the deceased
belonged in Goldendalc, W. T. She
had a ring upon one ringer, marked
T. H. H. to II. 3., or L.
A letter was received ay the ticket
agent here which inquired about a
girl of a like description to the body
iottna. The girl inquired aftei in tne
letter was calied Rosa Jay Wedge-
wood, and the person making the in-
, ,- ,1. , 1T
quiry signed ninisen, naipn .
Schoonover.
A girl answering the description
came here May 29th, ano just put up
at the hotel. The day before the
body was found she went away with
a man named Al. Wallace, who told
some of his friends that the girl was
i i trouble and he was going to take
her home. Wallace has not been seen
since. A doctor who examined the
body said there were no marks of
violence, but one of the jurors, rrel
Varuey, insisted that there was the
mark of the blow upon the toreneaa
which would have caused death, and
refused to assent to a verdict of ac
cidental drowning.
Professor Procter s Worlds
The supposition that there maybe
"other worlds than ours" seems toex-
cisea peculiar lascination upon the
mind of Prof. Richard A. Procter.
The "other worlds than ours," of
which he speaks, are, of course, hab
itable worlds: and from the fact that
Mars, for instance, in the solar sys
tem, is a planet whose physical fea
tures are not so different from those
of the earth as to reuder it unhabi
table by beins not greatly different
from the fauna with which we are ac
quainted through actual contact, he
judges it tot unreason uble to infer
that, being a habitable globe, it is an
inhabited one. The bodies that com
pose our solar system are much more
intimately connected with eaeh other
than they are commonly supposed to
be, and it is by no means impossible
that a oontagiuni of life might spread
from one planet to another, just 33
Canada thistle is blowu down on us
from the north. According to Sir
William Grove, something like two
hundred millions of meteorites enter
the earth's atmosphere every twenty
tour hours, and, though they are
pretty hot when they reach the
earth's surface, as some of them do,
yet it is possible that their high tem
perature may not have destroyed all
genus of lile, which is conceivable,
tlic-y uiignt bring to us. Indeed, there
is a soieutilic theory, the upholders
of which contend that it was through
meteorites that life was originally
brought to light on our planet. If
life be once granted in any quarter of
the universe, there seems to be no
good theoretical reason why it should
not spread in all directions in which
co8iincal winds can blow cosmical
dust. Professor Procter is wrong in
saying that the question of lite in
other worlds "belougs rather to the
domain ot pnilosophy than of science.
for it belongs to neither, and is a
pare speculation, not for a moment o
oe dignified with the name of phu
o80phy. There may be life in other
worlds than outs, or there may not
be, and at present tnere is absolutely
no w ay of deciding the question. In
order to the existence of life, envir
onments such as those which earth
affords are by no means necessary.
Experiments which were , made sub
sequently to Dr. Bastian's announce
ment that he had proved spontaneous
generation otherwise called abiogen
is and heterogeneous evolution in the
Speucerian liugo showed that living
germs could withstand and survive
an enormous degree of heat, and it is
known that intense colds does no
itestroy their vitality. While one is
speculitiug it would not be demon
strably absurd to say that life could
not exist on Mercury or even on the
suppositious Vnican, or even in the
sun. The life might not, nay, could
not, be like that of human beings,
but none the less on that account
would it be life, and when we n -member
that so great a scientific phil
osopher as Krnst Haeekel posits life
vea in the ultimate atoms themsel
ves, where are we to stop? If theques
tiou were a ni3taphysical one we
should recall Newton's exclamation,
