Settlers are going in to Columbia county by twos and threes, taking up land and entering upon the work of clearing with zeal and energy. Strong efforts will lie made by the settlements along the Xelndem river to move the county seat from St. Helens to some point in the valley within the next two years.

Tnc Mountaineer says: "A vein of coal twelve feet thick was Intel v found on Bay creek near Heppner. in Umatilla county, a specimen of which was brought us by Mr. Charles Gardner. It has been tested and found to be of an excellent quality." The Columbia Chronicle. Dayton, has entered upon the second volume. The Chronicle has built up a reputation of being one of the best ceuntr: papers on the coast, and we know of no person more fitted to make a success of it than Mr, McCully. the editor. The Coos bay Xews says that over one hundred ship masters and snip owners have signed a recommendation of Cape Gregory as the best location for the pro posed harbor of refuge on the coast. This is an extensive endorsement, won der if it was voluntarily made. To say that the matinee was largely attended yesterday afternoon, or "that the performance last evening, for the benefit of Beseue Engine company Xo.'J. tendered by Managei Ward was a most decided success but poorlv expresses the fact.

She has a capacity for 200 first class passengers, and large accommodations in the steerage. The main saloon oc cupies the entire width of the ship, and is magnificently littted up and furnished in walnut, curled maple and ;ish. The staterooms are heated with steam, and the berths are so arranged as to fold lit), similar to those of a t sleeping car, when not in use. Elec- ,c l)e,,s communicate witn tnc stew- ard's room, and they are provided with every convenience known. An elec tric light is lixed at the bow of the vessel, and, by means of a reflector, throws a ray of light two miles. Six electric lights are also provided to illuminate the engine room and the main saloon. Owr the entrance to the saloon is a protrait of Miss Min nie Leckhard, a young lady of Phila delphia who was present at the launch ing, and christened the ship. The State of California is supplied with all the modern improvements, among the most noticeable of which is a machine for reversing the main en gine. Bj' moving a handle a distance of four inches, the engineer can, by in exertion equal to lifting about five engine, causing them to stop and re verse almost instantly. The utility of this appliance, especially in case of accident, will be obvious. Many at tempts have been made to steer steam ships by steam, but in most cases, with only partial success. On this vessel the steering engine is tint of sight of the man at the wheel, and, so faras he is concerned, he makes use of the ordinary wheel. The helm is put to port or starboard as usual; but, in stead of acting directly upon the rud der, it moves the steam valves of a pair of small directing engines, thus setting them m motion, which is trans 'mitted through gearing to the rudder. The valve gear of these steering engines is so constructed that it will permit the engines to move the rudder i1 distance only corresponding to that which the helmsman moves the wheel. In heavy weather, instead of requiring three or four men to steer the ship, she can bv this machine be managed easily by one man.

At the misty future that stretches on, From the silent home of the dead. Tis no lone isle on a boundless main No brilliant but distant shore. When the love ones who are called away Must go, to return no more. No. Heaven is near: but the mighty veil Of mortality blinds the eye That we cannot seethe Angel bands On the shores of eternity. The eye that shuts in the dying hour Will open the next in bliss: The welcome will sound in the heavenly world. Ere the farewell is hushed in this. We pass from the clasp of mourning friends, To the arms of the loved and lost. And their smiling faces will greet us there. Which on earth we have valued most. Y et oft in the hour of holy thought, To the thinking soul is given. The power to pierce through the mist of sense To the beauteous scenes of Heaven. Tl'on very near seem its pearly gates, And sweetly its harpings fall. Till the soul is restless to soar away And longs for the Angel's call. I know when the silven chord is loosed And the veil is rent away, Not long and dark will the passage be, To the realms of endless day. Tho Dny of Rest.
