We arrived here this evening on board the steamer North Pacific, home ward bound, as the gales and storms which have continued with out any cessation render the trip io disagreeable that we shall post pone it until more favorable weather. Tacoma is divided into two towns, old and new. New Tacoma. about one mile anft a half further up the sound than Tacoma, 'is the present terminus of the Pa cific division of the Northern Pacific railroad. There is a branch from here to the coal mines, which the company is at work upon develop -inn ;i fine vein of excellent coal. Joth railroads are built upon the uniform gauge, and "if" there ever should be a connection with the Atlantic side of course New Tacoma will come in for the bulk of the trade on Puget-sound, as Seattle only has her narrow-gauge. -A visit to Chicago, St. Louis, or other great centers of trade ill us tratcs the advantage of the uniform iu""o over that of the narrow trauge for vast business. In such places one may read the names of scores of different railways on cars belonging to various companies all throughout the United States. This we may hope to see at New Tacoma, Portland, and perhaps Astoria. What a blessed thing Hope is. If we of Astoria were not comforted through our lives with this hope, if we were compell ed to go on toiling in our present condition without the thought that 'when the time comes1' we may have some sort of connection with the outside world in addition to that now possessed in the water routes, we should certainly be miserable, but it is a self-evident fact that the deesiirns of the God of nature are about to be accomplished, and As toria will soon have -iicr day. We tee more and more to convince us of the approuching dawn of the now era, and it warms the heart to dream of this prospective thrift. Kalama, March 8th. 'Bidding Tacoma adieu at 7 a. m., in a blind ing snow-storm, a continuation of xiie storm of the previous day, our party ""Mr. Wheeler and myself,' received accessions and out we Mailed for this place arriving at 22cSo, connecting with the steamer Dixie Thompson for Portland. "'The long way around being the most direct way home." Col. Ell wood Evans left us Ut Tenino for "lympia, and Gov. Ferry joined us j at that point on his way to Yaki- I ma, in company with Gen. How ard from Vancouver, 'l'hey go once more at the request of the people in that region to endeavor 10 settle the difficulty with Moses. The people have been supplied with all the arms and ammunition that it has been possible to .secure, and a five company post has been established in the Kittitas valley, at which two com panies are now stationed and -et the settlers do not feel safe. This visit is intended to Strengthen the hope of security from another out break. lf we may be permitted to judge from the weather along the route of our travel to-dav,'Gov. Ferry has a cold and tedious trip to perform. Snow covered the ground from Tacoma :to the -north bank of the Cowlitz river to-day, zo the depth of from 1 to inches, but as strange as it imay seem not a Hake was to be seen on the southern bank, the river beiii" die dividing line as it were between jvirfter and spring.

' aere which Europe oners to uic j eye of the American traveler is its Babel of languages. France alone has eighty-six well defined dialects. Switzerland has twen ty-eight. The list in Germany has 'never been made out, but must amount to at least 100. As modern enforced popular education takes effect, all these will gradually disappear, and ie replaced by a few French, f . German, Dutch., Basque, ftreton nais(Armorican),Polish, Bohemian, Moravian, T)anish, etc. Walloon and Flemish are both dying out (very slowly) in Belgium. In all the open countries a common lan guage will take possession of the whole jrround during: the course of the next three or four generations; but in the mountain districts the old dialects may survive for many centuries. It is to this diversity i ' - oi language we must asrrme me stubborn vitality of priestcraft and i the military system. Nations who cannot comprehend each other hale and fear each other, and keep their harness ready for war. We must put our trust in the railroad, the post-office and the primary school. Sooner or later these irresistible powers will emancipate Europe from standi no; armies and the missal. Unwarrn.ixteil Burlesnuc. Jlttebwiy J ndejictulcMt . Last vceks issue of the Coos hay News contains an article at tempting to burlesque the efforts of Messrs. Webster ami Sehctter to secure aid in behalf of the proposed narrow gauge railroad from this citv to Uoos bav. inlc Ave teel assured that the gentlemen named I are able and can defend them selves against anything the Xews may trT to say to their detriment, and answer fully all its weak at tempts to their personal injury without outside interference, we cannot put in our disclaimer to airy Such articles, calculated as they are to injure the project and decretise its chances for ultimate success, and retard the growth and prosperity of the country through which it is proposed the road shall pass. To outsiders the News' arti cle must carry the idea that there is nothing to justify the building of the railroad; that the port of Coos bay is useful now and will be in the future, only ai a very insig nificant shipping port for a very insignificant country; that if outside capitalists invest in the enterprise they will receive in re turn for -their money airy nothing ness. This is ail wrong. The News cannot say truthfully that there is no reason for he building of the road. It cannot show thati the enterprise will ndt be self-sus- taining and valuable property in tie end to those wiio mav invest in it. Ami it has everything1 in the way of proof favorable to the port of Coos bay as a shipping point. Jf the News will admit this much, it must 'also admit that it has been ungrateful in order to rratify personal spite and create public latighter against those for whom it litis love. For such work, local newspapers nor their publish ers are -supported. AVere it so nienivould not regard ingratitude us'thevorst of sins, and have not contempt for the reptile, which, warmed-into life, strikes the hand that rescues it from death. Astoria is overrun with a hard class of customers; and citizens should never go to hed at night without see ing that their doors and windows are well fastened, and should leave a six shooter handy, well loaded, take de liberat aim, and rid the city of the pests just as soon as possible. No de cent man is 'in danger of being shot under such circumstances, and no jury In this county would convidt'on any charge of shooting under such cirenm stances".
