The Professor finds logical na-oiis for hi-s belief in the moti m of the ttarscompo., ing the constellation, and illustrates these with careful diagrams of hi--, own.

Excoukage Straxoels. Just now a large number of persons are coining into the country in ssurch of homes. As a rule they are families with means, but occasionally a poor strag gler will be found whose means are exhausted, and who must depend upon employment for his daily bread. In all such cases our cannery men and men of means snould strain a point to help the needy immigrant. Look .above your place and find something for him to do, and thus make the stranger feel that he has found a home among a sympathizing aud liberal people. Surrender of Joseph. Dispatches yesterday announce the close of the Xez Perces war. General titles intercepted the braves and taught tlieni a lesson on the 30th, which all good Indians will recollect hereafter. The fight occurred near Bear-paw mountain, and was a severe one. Looking Glass, Joseph's brother, and three other chiefs, together with forty fighters were killed. Gen. Miles lost twenty-three killed and forty-five wounded. The news continues until the 5th, when it is stated that Joseph had surrendered, "and all the Camas prairie murderers are now dead."

"Wear out !" but never let the rust Of idleness corrode the trust Your Maker gave : your part to play In the great drama of 'To-day" Is to deal justly ; aid the weak ; Ever for right and freedom speak ; Keep burning clear Truth's beacon light, That Its soft radiance through the night Be to the lost on life's bleak, moor Like Bethlehem's star, that shone of yore, Guiding the shepherds on their way To where the child Redeemeer lay. "Wear out I" 'tis nobler far to bear On breast and brow the marks of care, Scars of life's conflict bravely fought, Patents of peerage fairly bought ; Titles to claim in the fair dime Of those who worship Truth sublime ; E'en rf your feet have never trod The narrow path that leads to God, Avoid as death, the scorner's seatr Nor let his sandals press your feet r With contrite luearf, and tearf ul eye Stand still while the elect pass by ! "Wear out 1" though stern your features grow, Though raven locks be turned to snow, On to-the front I nor laggard be, With sturdy blows" comes victory ! Shame on the weak, the nerveless hand That cxnnot grasp Truth's-shining brand, That shrinks when from fair Freedom's tower The toscln sounds the trial hour ; That falls when justice calls to go.

We learn ofi a miner who came to town last week from Idaho, got on a litide bust and on Sunday evening was enticed into a gambling den and fleec ed of about a thousand dollars. Such occurrences are a disgrace to out city. The citizens of Colfax had quite a jollification on Saturday evening last oer the Palouse Gazette. That be ing the first paper published north of SEake river, the people have reason to be elated. Mr. Chas. Logus a prominent dealer in pork from Oregon City, was in the valley for the purpose of pur-chasing-hcgs but-4frbT2mg-"iniprjssiblo to ship them alive, he did not buy as extesively as he at first calculated. Mr. Fred Adams, of the firm of Adams Bros, has gone below to pur chase a stock of goods for their new store at Almota, Snake river. Messrs. Adams Bros, are emterprising men, and we predict for them abundant and well deserved succes. Captain Ewart, of the firm of Ewart cV; Co, of Colfax, came to this city on Wednesday, to look after the freight of the firm. He reports that town as rapidly improving, and busi ness very lively. Whitman county is rapidly filling up, and Colfax as its business center, will keep place with it- "We have received a copy of the Palouse Gazette, and judging from its general appearance it is destined to become eventually the lever of Whit man county. It takes a good, solid, start, advocates home industry, is silent upon politics, but alive to every thing conducive to the advancement of the country wherin it pitches its tent, called home. We hope it will live long and prosper. Last Friday the family of Mr. Healy, who jmt up a new stove, were suddenly startled by the dreadful cry ef: "House on fire." Mrs. Healy and sister in their consternation, and fright called in Mr. Belchee, who found the room full of smoke. He, at first believed the whole house, cellar included, was on fire,, but a careful examination revealed the pleasing tact that the flue was full of honey conib and pure honey. Wild, bees did it. They took out a bucket and a half of the sweet morsel, disturbed the nest and started the fire anew. The bees left and ejes stained with tears of horror were filled again with tears of joy, for there was honey in the flue. Looking back in the. hist jry of. our Territory twelve or fifteen years, one can but draw a contrast between, the immigration of those times, and that of the present. Then, all was hurry and bustle. People who came here, were generally lured by the prospect of rapid accumulation of wealth, in tending, when than purses were filled, to seek some better country, in which to enjoy their gains. How different is it to-day. The steady stream of immigration is composed of men seek ing permanent homes in our midst. Thej- are not induced to come by the deceitful allurements of gold mines, but know that in our fertile prairies there is much more sure and lasting wealth. Such an immigration, is an evidence of the healthy growth, of our country, and to all such we bid a welcome, knowing that we still hare ample room for thousands- Departed for Sitka.. From the Port Townsend Argus, October 5th. The United States revenue cutter Walcott, left here yesterday for Sitka, to be present at the festivities to be given during the'last of this month by Sitka Jack to some four thousand In dians of various tribes of Alaska. The report in the Oregon and up-Sound papers about serious-trouble at present I in Sitka, is without any foundation, as the last accounts report everything quiet. The origin of this report, was the fact that after the troous were with drawn from Sitka, some of the young I men of Jack's, tribe burned down a small portion of the stockade fence which separates the garrison from the I Indian town, ami broke some windows. This was. promptly reported and the cutter Corwin was sent up. Captain White told Sitka Jack that if he heard any more complaints of depredations, he would return and blow down the Indian vSIage. Jack said, the stockade was burned by some of his young men but he won't; be responsible that no more harm, should be done if Captain White won't keep th& white residents ! from selling whiskey to his people. There ia.no-trouble at present, nor is any apprehended, unless the white people sell whiskey to the Indians at the intended "potlatch," and it is to keep the peace that the Walcott is to be present. But as a means of fighting Indians, the cutter in her present condition, is a lamentable farce. She has but one gun and that not irt first rate order, her other gun was thrown overboard when she I struck the reef at Cape Mudge last winter and although the Department have been repeatedly informed of the inefficiency of the vessel, they have not fitted her out, but have X)romptly ordered her to Sitka with no means of either offensivo or de fensive warfare. Our patriotic and energetic fellow townsman, H. L. Tibbals, esq., has kindly loaned Capt. Seldon the batteiy of guns which were purchased at the Custom house sale of the effects of the old cutter Jeff. Davis- Fortunately, the shot-for this battery?, nowforcjs -part? of the ballast of the Walcott, and P Capt. Selden has collected all the oys ter and meat cans in town to be filled with old scrap iron and sand, as can nister shot. H any real danger is apprehended, on the arrival of the Cutter at Sitka, she will return and a man-of-war will be sent, but there is no apprehension of such an emergency, and the farce of sending the Walcott on a cruise for hostile Indians without proper prepar ation is not very creditable to parties in Wash"ngton who have this matter in chtirge. After the festivities are over, the Walcott will return to this Port. She will be absent four or live weeks. Bear in mind the fact that it was nr c the last of this month that Sitka Jack was to have his grand potZafc7i, but the .1th, the day the Walcott a left for Sitka. Ed. Astokiax. The Spak Trade. Referring to the loading of the ship Brown Brothers, at Port Madison, -with spars for Boston, the Intelligencer sa3s: "When this cargo of spars is discharged at east Boston, Mass., they will be gazed upon in wonderment. The three lower masts of the ship Brown Broth ers cost standing in the forests of Can ada 82.2U0. Only think of it. The stnmpage for three trees, the largest thirty-seven inches in diameter by ninety feet long, being over 700 for each tree. Add the cutting, liaulir g and freight to Xewburyport, wheie she was built, and they run up to near a thousand dollars apiece. At any thing near that rate it is safe to esti mate the value of this vessels cargo, when she shall arrive at Boston, at over a hundred thousand dollars, con sisting as it will, of 180 of these huge spars, 200 splendid deck knees, 250, 000 feet of deck planking and 150 cords of wood. She was chartered for $32,500. The charter party pays for loading 62,050, making $35,150. Knowing the approximate cost of her cargo here, it will at once be seen that the consignees will clear a nice little sum. Ship owners andbu-lders of the Pacific or of the east, would do well to consider The difference in the cost of shipbuilding material here and at the east before arriving at the conclusien: that shipbuilding on Puget Souml won't pay. This cargo of sMpbuilding material when discharged at the ship yards of east Boston will induce some of its-successful shipbuilders and heavy men to correctly surmise that whore that material came from is the pla.-e for them to operate, and we predict that within a year from the arrival of the ship Brown Brothers in Boston harbor, that a keel of a ship of her size, or larger, will be stretched at one or more of the doz m. available, places on Pug;it Skund."
