Now, it is the table that snaps and cracks, as if all the spiritual istic knocks were hidden in its ma hogany. You do not lean on it heavily, without this result; but it fidgets you, and you take an easy chair and put the book on your unee. 1 Your eyes wander up and down j the page, and yon grow dreamy; when, apparently, the book-case fires off a pistol. At last a loud fierce crack comes from the heart of that piece of furniture so loud, so fierce, that you jump to your feet.! trembling. You cannot stand the. pailor any more. You go un stairs. 1 No sooner do you get there than it seems to you that somebody is walking on the roof. 1 f the house is a detached one, and the thing is impossible, that makes it all the more uvyslerious. Nothing ever moaned in the chimney before, but something moans now. There is a ghostly stepin the bath-room. You find out afterwards that it is the tap dripping, but you do not dare to look at that time. And it is evident that there is something up the chimney you would not like to ask what. If you have gas, it bobs up and down in a phantom dance. 1 f 3-011 have a lamp, it goes out in a blue explosion. If 3ou have a candle, a shroud plainly enwraps the wick and falls toward you. The blinds shake as if a hand clutched them; and finalby, a dole j ful cat begins to moan in the cellar. at the front door. Neither book - case r.or table cracks. Th house has on its company manners only you have found out how it behaves when it is alone. - - - Pacific Coast Forests. ljulletins have been issued from i the census bureaus giving the sta 'eilovv I,nc !,im ,cn ,,r " u, the actual amount ol lumber stand ing that stale, except redwood, is not possible with the existing knowledge of the country. The principal lumber industry is con fined to the redwood belt, on the line of the Central Pacific railroad, on ,,olh hloPCi of ll, Sierni c' vaua. to points in i-utle, leuama, and Meno counties, and in the San Jicrnardino moutams. I ho total product-of-rthe stateNfor the census l r rr arr 1 red fir, tide-water spruce, red ce dar, hemlock, Port Grford cedar, white oak, sugar pine, chestnut, oak, larch and scrub pine. The principal lumber industry centers near Portland, Astoria, and Empire City. The product of the coast region for the census year was 151, 443,000 feet of lumber, 17,050,000 laths and 2,745,000 shingles. The product of the state east of the Cascade range was -'SjTflRjOOO feet j of lumber, 205,000 laths and 2,205,- ; 000 shin&las. "Washington Territory is cov- er?d west of the Cnspiule mou i tains, by the heaviest belt of for- i est growth in the United States. The most valuable trees of this re gion are yellow fir (covr-iing about seven-tenths of the forest growth), red cedar, hemlock and tide-water spruce. h.ast 01 the "ascaue mountains aie red fir, yellow and wtc P",c luIch re(1 cedar, and hemlock. The principal lumber region is confined to Puget Sound, The product of this legion for the census year was 14.4,387,000 feet of lumber, 0,550,000 laths, 710,000 shingles, and 2,3GG,000 staves. The product of the coast, outside of Puget Sound region, was 0,599, 000 feet of lumber and 200,000 shingles, and of the Territory east of the Cascade range, 0,190,000 feet of lumber and 2,700,000 sliin irles. "What would you do if 3ou were I and 1 were 3-011?" ten derly inquired a young swell of his lad3 fiiend, as he escorted her home from church.

Dement 1 monopolize these lands by a swamp land 1 ing, to now proceed in just i such a manner as to enable the J ring to perfect their grab without 'even complying with the very lax I restrictions of the law of 1SJ2 jaml that too, by defrauding the stale out of the use of the money for tliPM lands for ten ycrrs more. Under the act of IS70, appli- i cants had ten years from the time of filing, in which to make pi oof of reclamation and to pay eight per cent ol the purchase price. Twelve years nearly, have passed since this law became effective, and the greater portion of the fil ings were made under that act of 1S70 before the ink had dried after the governor had signed the bill, and now it is proposed to extend that time ten years longer with the reclamation clause stricken out. We caie nothing for the re clamation clause, but we object in giving leu "years more in which to make, payment, as is clearly the intention of the latter clause of section 1, of the bill under consid eration, and for all sections here after listed, the time of payment shall be made within ten years after the. lands are approved to the state. If this bill becomes a law it gives these swamp land grabbets twenty two years from the time of their first filings, in which to make pay ment to the state for the lands claimed by their "wild cat" filings, while the slate warrants drawn against that fund will be drawing interest. We lianlrPlliinK it the purpose of this legislature to commit such a mistake as this would be; the act of 1870 was a job in the inter est of a ring, and now, that ring plans a greater fraud upon the state of Oregon. Salem Stairs man. A Sad Affair. While nut hunting cue da3 last week in company with another bo3', saj-s the Jacksonville Times, a fourteen year old son of Judge Baldwin met with an accident that resulted fatal- last Sunday night. The3 had built a camp fire, and while the other boy was out hunt ing, young Baldwin fell in the fire during a fit and was most horribly burnt, and was still .lying in the fire when found by the other bo3. The boy's father is at work on the railroad, but on account of the interruption on the telegraph line he could not be reached in time even for the funeral. The Democratic nominee for lieutenant-governor of California annouces it as his creed that "the right to sell lager beer on Sunday should be as free as the ringing of the church bells."
