A Cincinnati
manufacturer
died nine 3Tears ago. His busi
ness had been prosperous, and it
was supposed that his estate was
worth 50,000; but his widow
could find only about 20,000,
which she invested unfortunately,
and finally lost. Lately she be
came needy, and a son visited her
to arrange for her removal to his
home. In packing her effects he
discovered 30,000 in good rail
road bonds, in which his father had
invested.
The Walla Walla Union says
there is great and useless commo
tion among the people on the sub
ject of railroad lands and with
drawals. We assert, without fear
of successful contradiction, that
the withdrawal along the main
line of the Northern Pacific rail-
road
company,
from
near
the
mouth of Snake river to Pen
d'Orille lake, has not been changed,
in the slightest degree, since Feb-
.ruasy, 21st, 1S72, and then it goes
on to prove what it asserts, estab
lishing the fact.
The Walla Walla Statesman
believes that the determination
of Jav Gould, who is the lead
ing spirit of the Utah Northern,
has compelled the Northern Paci
fic to take immediate action to
build its road through that por
tion of its line which is most likety
to come nearest the proposed line
of the Utah Northern, in order to
avail themselves of its lanye gov
ernment land grant and for other
purposes. This face has now be
come a necessfty, hence the activity
of the Northern Pacific.
An eastern paper claims that
A. N. Cole, the veteran editor of
the Genesse valley Free Press, is
the man who first called a conven
tion to form the republican party,
in 1854. This is an error. The
original call was made by Geo.
Fitch, of Kalamazoo, Michigan,
then publisher of The Ashler; the
first convention was held in the
city or Jackson, Michigan, on that
call, and Fitch furnished the name
for the party, then and there. If
there are any honors to be con
ferred, they belong to Fitch. At
all events, history should be cor
rect about the matter.
Strange mischances with fatal
results are daily happening here
and there. A Boston butcher ran
against a knife that lav on a block,
severed an artery, and bled to
death. A Denver woman caught
her foot in a railroad frog, and
could not get loose before a train
ran over her. A Vermont farmer
sneezed with a straw in his mouth
drew it into his lungs, and died
choking. A horse kicked a Michi
gan boy into a deep well, where he
was drowned. The shoe flew off
the foot of a kicking mule, in
Nashville, and fractured the skull
of a baby. An Ohio girl swallow
ed her engagement ring, and lived
only a week afterward. "While
standing on his head, on the top of
a high fence post, an Iowa boy lost
his balance, fell into a tub of hot
water, and was fatally scalded. A
stone, thrown by a playfellow
broke a glass from which a St
Louis boy was drinking, driving
some of the pieces down his throat,
and he died a few days afterward
in great agon1-. Looking up to
"watch the flight of an arrow, a
Nashville woman, did not see it
descending directly over her head,
. ajid' the sharp metal point pene
trated her brain through one of
Jier eyes, killing her instantly.
An Important Xietter.
Some days ago a letter bearing a
foreign postmark made its appearance
at the Washington Post-office, the
address of which no one was able to
translate. Somebody suggested it
was in the Russian language. So it
was taken to the Russian Legation,
where an attache immediately inter
peted the address, saying that it was
intended for the Health Officer, to
whom it was taken. It had the
appearance of being a very important
document, as it was got up in the
most elaborate style. The Health
Officer got one of the Secretaries of
the Russian Legation to translate it
for him, and it was discovered that
the writer had invented an unfailing
remedy for rheumatism, which he
wished to sell to the United States
Government. The letter was filed
awav for reference.
