The directors of tbe Oregon and Transcontinental company hare made their annual report to the stockholders for the year end ing June 30th. They recall the fact that the company was organ ized to acquire and hold a con trolling interest in stocks of the Northern Pacific and Oregon Rail way and Navigation companies, aud to engage in such other com mercial and industrial enterprises as would tend to hasten and widen the general development of the states and territories traversed by these lines." At the previous fis cal year only $23,7G0,000 of tke 30,000,000 of the authorized cap ital stock had been issued. Du ring tho fiscal year just closed, not only were the remaining $G,24Q, 000 paid for and issued, but an additional issue of $10,000,000 was authorized by the board, thus in creasing -the capital stock to $ 0, 000,000, and on June 30th last, the company held 1G9,792 shares of Northern Pacific common, 15, 130 shares of Northern Pacific pre Terred, and 12S,535 shares of Ore gon Railway and Navigation com pany stock. Including the new stock, these holdings represent more than one-third of the capital stock of the Northern Pacific and 8,535 shares more than an abso lute majority of the stock of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company. Tt is stated that it is in its power to enlarge its owner ship of Northern Pacific stocks at any tinre. Sufficient is owned and represented by the directors of the Oregon and Transcontinental company as well as by the direct ors of the allied corporations, to constitute, together with the hold ingsjof the company itself, an ab solute majority. During the sea son of 1882-83 the company built 215 miles of road, on its various branches of construction. The programme .adopted for the fiscal year of 1883-84 includes about 350 miles of new road, mainly in the extension of various branches. No further issue of bonds is to be made on construction account at present . The board announced the lease to the company of the Oregon and California Railroad company's sys tem of standard gauge lines. The terms entered into between tho companies are as follows: A con struction contract between this company and the Oregon and Cal ifornia company for the comple tion of the latter's main line to the California boundary, with the op tion to complete its other author ized lines on the stated terms tho temporary lease of the Oregon and California system for three years, with the option for its ex tension to 999 years. When tho construction contract wentinto ef fect about 127 miles of the total length of the main line remained tp be completed. The estimates of the-engineers, including liberal allowances for a possible under estimate and- other contingencies, call for $4,840,291 of ready money for this work. Under the contract this company is to receive for its first mortgage bonds V$3,G70,500 and second mortgage bonds 3,850,000 Contracts have been entered into with leading banking firms of this country and Europe for the sale of sufficient of these securities to render it easy to provide all the money necessary for the comple tion of the lines. The assets of the Oregon and Transcontinental company are placed at $59,900,- 708 SI, of which 5,1S1,110 11 is stated-as cash in in bank, and 3, 289,312 19 as loans due them. Among the liabilities are placed 8j5Gl,42; 9S, loans due by "the company, and $000,000 for divi dends due July 1G. That amphibious individual of rubber-suit fame, Capt.

Parker's Hair Bal MantTir' fails to satisfy. PaBteur and the Cholera Gorm. Leon Pasteur, the distingushed J chemist, has asked permission of the English government to go to j Egypt for the purpose of investi gating the cause of cholera with a i view to finding some remedy that will hereafter render it harmless.! His efforts arc bused on the the- ! ory that it is one of a large class! of diseases caused by living germs taken into the svstom with the air wo breathe or with our food and drink. The disease so caused are thought now to be very numerous, and include most fevers, troubles of the throat, consumption, small pox, and many of those complaints which are fatal to animals. It is supposed that if the germ which causes any special form of sickness can be discovered and rendered partially innocuous it can be in troduced into the system the same way that vaccine matter is intro duced, and so prevent the reoccur rence of its dangerous forms. It was .Tenner's theory that a mild and comparatively harmless pois oning of tiie blood would prevent the fatal disorder, and his experi ments showed him to be correct. The vaccine lymph contains the living germs, but they are not virulent. Their admission to the blood produces a mild inflamma tion like the symptoms of the small-pox, which runs its course like a fever; after which the sub ject recovers and is safe thereafter from the horrible malady of which he has had a mild type. Pasteur has already rendered great benefit to science and hu manity by his discoveries. lie first turned his attention to a dis ease called the pebrine which was destroying the silk worms in France and injuring an import ant industry. lie found it was caused by the growth and multi plication within the worms and even their eggs of minute corpus cles which were really lower lorms of life. The remedy applied in this case was the complete isola tion of the diseased worms. This investigation took several months of arduous labor with the micro scope. He then turned his atten tion to the splenic fever, which at tacks horses, cattle and sheep. In the blood of the diseased animals he knew there existed red-like forms, which might with accuracy be called germs, and that the fe ver was caused by their multipli cation. With the blood contain ing these rods it was found possi ble to inoculate a healthy animal. A drop of the solution containing them produced splenic fever in a guinea pig, and, which was very romarkable, an impression of a small particle of tho dried blood, kept for years, produced ai similar effect in a healthy animal. Pasteur went further than this. He learned that the disease would break out suddenly in spots where it had formerly existed. He ex amined the soil where the animals that died of the disease had been buried, and found the rods in the earth-worms which again brought it to the surface, and being eaten by rabbits and guinea pigs, gave them the disease. He discovered that the ijrass and grain growing: in the infected spots could impart it to healthy animals. The great point of this discovery was the fact that the splenic fever can be prevented by vacicnation in a man ner analogous to smallpox, and the farmers of France arc very generally adopting the prescribed measure. The Old Fireside There is no civilized race ott the earth but has its sanctified memo ries of the old homestead hearth stone tiie great wide-mouthed fireside, with its generous back log, its lights aud shadows, its social cheer and its merry ciicket singing i ts warning of news. But as years go by we find that cus toms are changing; other influ ences are at work in the body politics of this nation; the home ties are loosening, and other afli nities hold sway. Family life is narrowed down to the boarding house and hotel, and instead of the cottage we have the "flat;" in stead of the homo meal we have the restaurant. "We say narrowed, for thr is no place in the world that can give the broad, deep.. lasting blessing to a true charac ter reared and disciplined by the ingleside of a true home, where love and trust have learned to bear "each other's burden." Shallowed is that family life that seeks its growth away from this time-honored shelter. Barren must that child's life be of all pleasant reminiscences of childish adventure and sport in the old barn by the mill pond, or in the field of sweet, new-mown hay that is forced to spend its -outb in our crowded cities. His school life is intense, and his play hours savor of scrapes of rascality. Such children have no childhood. Tt is a monotonous round of brain pressure. We have a pity for boys aud girls who never tramped barefooted to the village school, who never envied the eggs in the blue bird's nest, or called the milk-laden cow home from the meadows. Farm life has its hard ships, we know hard, back-splitting work that is unending, and its bad crops; but it has also its good things, and we question if these things are not the best ele ments of a nation's life strong health, deep sleep, clean blood and a deep spirit of pluck to endure disappointment. All the self made men and women of our early histoiy had this early discip line of farm life. Farming to-day admits of much more luxury than formerly. Thrift and persistency will accomplish wonders in this direction, and it is a pkv there should grow up in our minds such antipathv to the habits and dutv that cluster to home life. "We are becoming a nation of wander ers, a nation of oddities, eccentric sojourners; the latch-string is lost, the gate-posts are broken and the mile-stones are forgotten. The family name is extinct, for family pride is gone. The family record is not kept because there is no family Bible to revere, and where we shall finally drift to, God only knows. One thing is certain: "When our home life is blighted we shall be wrecked, indeed, as a people. Morally unsettled in these foundation principles, we be come social lshmaelites, and finally strand on the desert of di vorce. Fortunate for California if the future shall find her chief glories clustering around her law abiding, law-protected ingleside.
