T.mc Indianapolis Sentinel furn ishes.lsome . curious statistics re lative to the .sickness and death of Garfield: ; lie was shot- -on the 2d .day ofjjufv, died" on "the 19th of 'September, and was buried, or placed in a tomb, on the 2Gth of September in all eighty-five days. Congress will be called upon to defray the expenses of the sickness and of the funeral. It is also un derstood that Congress will bej called upon to vole a sum of money- to Mxs. Garfield. It will be"remeinbered that when the il lustrious Lincoln was assassinated -Congress managed to vote his widow a pension of 3,000 a year. It is quite probable tliat Congress will vote -Mrs. Garfield the full sal&ryfcof 'the -President -for the year, .which will give her, say S2o,000. An effort will be made to "give her a pension of 4s5,000. ySh'oilrt tliat be done, a demand win ne maue 10 increase jvirs. m colnV pension to that amount. Mrs. Garfield is now well provided for; an income of at least 512,009 a year is -already secured. If she obtains "a, pension of $3,000, her regular income during her life cannot fall short of 15,000 a year. In additioii'to this, the widow will doubtless have about 1 00,000, tand iu a pecuniary point of view, she will be vastly better oil' than the widow of the lamented Lincoln. Private Secretary Brown, who attended to all the purchases of the President's sick room and re receipted for all goods received, estimates the cost of the Presi dftiifs sickness at $1Q0,000, which would be at the rate 1,250 a day. of this cost .the doctor's bills will form the' largest item, say 53,000.

The Pennsylvania railroad moved the " Presiderit'to'Long Branch, brought the remains back to Washington, and took them to Cleveland, for winch, it is' understood, no charges "will bemade,. . The expenses at Elberon are set kdo"wn at 1,000. The funeral cere- monies .at. the capital are estimated at 1,000, including the decoration of buildings. Tlie cost "of the trip . to Cleveland for Senators and "Representatives, hire of carriages, &C, is estimated at 5,000, cost of telegraph messages, 2,000; un . id er takers , bills are estimated at 5,000, and it now looks as though 100,000 would meet every de maud, but there is a possibility thattnuch more will be required. ClevelancLmade a good tbing of it "in a business point of view. The figures show a grand total of ex- ipendituresitsickriess and funeral of 347,050, of which the United States will pay, say 100,000, leav ing 217,050 for )hio, Cleveland, and prirafe-individuals.

Gorringe on the manner of improving the river and the Columbia bar, fa vot ing dredging and opposing scout ing by contraction of the width of the channel. His argument per haps isgood concerning the river above, but does it apply equally as well to the bar at the mouth of the river? Are the rivers and places cited by him similar to the entrance of the Columbia river? The Columbia discharges a larger volume of water than most streams of the world. It carries to the sea also relatively but a small amount of sediment. I think the shoals and spits at the entrance are formed by sands thrown in or up from the sea rather than a deposit brought down the river, though that is perhaps immaterial. The amount suspended in the water aud de posited.is so small that the north and soath currents of the ocean at right angles to the river would carry it all away and throw it upon the sea shores noith and south of the river, if only a strong current from the river ran well seaward. This the river would make if Clatsop spit was so dyked or filled up, to be reclaimed as it were, thus throwing into tke channel the water now floating over this two mile spit. Such a contraction of the mouth of the river by two miles would make a volume and current of water through the main channel to sea as would deepen it to thirty feet or more and keep itself free from bars still further out. The Sacramento river discharges noth ing near as large an amount of water as the Columbia river, but carries a great deal more sediment, yet by the contraction of the chan nel between the "Heads," the bur at the Golden Gate is thirty feet below the surface of the water. I think by contractions, the entrance to the Columbia river would be as deep as that to San Francisco, and wouid maintain it self equally as well also. 1 do.not oppose the dredging, however, as it would give immediate relief and have a tendency, by drawing the water into the channel, to build up naturally Clatsop spit and make dry land ol it, which it was a few years ago; to build it up as the whole peninsula of Clatsop plains has been gradually built up from Tillamook Head and the meuth of Lewis and Clarke river northward to Point Adams. Seampi:. x R. K. Stoct. Os the subject of railroad mut ters the Portland correspondent of the San Francisco Merchant thus disceurseth: The plans of the O. H.& X. Co., the N. P. 1?. R. and the Oregon and Transcontinental arc inuuen.se ones; huge ones if you please. A large amount of money is involved in their completion and later work ings. This is to come out of a country sparsely settled, compara tively. Of course the completion of the.se road will increase the population by immigration, but this is uncertain in result, and sometime will be required to allow it to throw business in the way of the railroads. Should a period of hnancial depression throughout the United States come, with it must come hard times for all, not even excepting corporations with large capital. While such a period is not now looked for, it must be ad mitted that any year may bring it. The whole land to-day wonders at the creation of corporations with an array of capital not dreamed of a few years ago. "Watered stock is the name given much of it, and rightfully too, notwithstand ing we have drawn millions from the Old World, and have dug con siderable out of our own country. The stock of the corporations pro posing to connect us with the At lantic) side, may not be watered, if not, then there is left the more reason that the investment must pay dividends. The men at the head of all this enterprise are noted financiers, and probably see thei return; but the poor correspon denent may at least sit by and wonder, and even make a remark occasionally. Here I wish to re- ?ie in.cident told me, without doubting its correctness, although 1 know not the value of the stock at nreent: At the tune when the Oregon and I ranscontinental was first talked of, and before the dear public knew of it. organization, a wealthy gentleman was approached by a friend who was on the inside, and who could sccurr $40,000 Of i,tock for his wealthy friend at par. Of course as soon as the scheme was tirade public, the stock would be worth "l.0. The amount was taken, but it was not worth 150, aud is said to be worth but 75. If this is a fair sample of the ex perience of investors, then there must come a change. NEW TO-DAY.
