The Origin f the Vor4 3HsiiiiiiH- The Mississippi itself is a good in stance of the variations through which these names have passod. its original spelling, and Hie nearest ap proach to tlie Algonquin word, ihe 'the father of waters.'" is Meche Sebe, a spelling still commonly used by the Louisiana Creoles. Tonti suggested Micbo Sepe. which is somewhat near er to ihe present spelling. Father Laval still further modernized it into Misispi, the first specimen of the present spelling. The only changes since have been to overload the word with consonants. Marquette added the first and some other explorer the second "s," making it Mississipi, and so it remains in France to this day, with only one "p.' The man who added the other has never leen dis covered, but he must have been au American, for at the time of the pur chase of Louisana the name was gen erally spelled in tne colony witn a single "p." The Sipht Watch Mr. Charles T. Hollis, of tho Now York Club Stables, says that he is nisrht-watchman, and one night was attacked bv rheumatism so acute he could onlv net down stairs on his hands and knees. St Jacobs OH was applied twice. After this he took his waiCJl again me next uigm, curou. . Win. H.

Some years ago a man by ihe name ot Hughes, his wife and an adopted daughter, a beautiful little girl about seven years of age; came out to this coast from one of the Eastern states and took up a ranch in Ore;ron. In Tillamook county, near the sc- A. comfortable home was made i.i t!. then comparative wilderness. :::ul ihi family lived very Itappiiy. It v.u customary for Hughe io go awjij from home to work at his trade, that of :: ear)enier, at certain seasons of the year, thus fnrnislnng Tor his home :: few of the luxuries of life which otherwise would" have lieen denied. For several years every I h in g ! moved along smoothly. One day dur-! ine Hughes' absence, the little girl' was playing on a bridge, a short dist- ance from the Itouse. which crossed small stream and was providHl with;: l low nnmiir. in leaninir over lh: bridge gazing into tle water, she lost her balance and fell over, her clothes catching on tiie rail, only her head and Ixwly leing in the water. Her mother seeing the condition of her child, and there leing no one on wltom site could call for :id, ran io the little one's assistadce. In endeav oring to get the girl out, t!e mother. tor, fed over the rail, her clothe:-, catching and leaving her in the same iH-edicameiu as her child. ro assist ance ljeiag near, lxith were drowned. The feeling of the hnslsmd and father J on coming home and finding his be- j loved ones dangling in the water, dead, can le letter imagined than described. He went to wanuenngJ, after this, but in course of time. l-1 coming liomesick for the outplace, re-; turned to live there. The place, be- j. inir without nehrhlors or fi lends, be ' coming louesome, he took unto him- self an Indian woman. Not getting ; along very happily, ihe squaw left ! kim. Soon after he decani ied once more, thoroughly discouraged. He was offered a chance io go to Alaska as an interpreter among the Indians, or something of the kind. After re maining there several months, he ; again returned to his home or what ' he called home. He had scarcely i reached Oregon when he was in-1 formed thai his house, together with ! some money lie had left, his clothes, i and in fact, ail his worldly effects. J had leen destroyed by fire. Thus j one bv one his misfortunes overtook him, destroying happiness, earthly! possessions, iiuu K-nvuiK mm oujv h ; human wreck to baffle with an angry sea, till death shall put an end to his j miseries. vc orien nini iteopie who ! arc unfortunate, ut the tide will j eventually turn in his favor. With Hughes it was duTercnt: ill-luck fol lowed him to the bitter end.- - Pticijfc i Joint ta I. A iSat of History. On the 15th dnv of December, 1851. j the schooner HtAtert Hrnix sailed; into Shoal water bay and came io an-. chor oft" what is now known as Bruce-! port. Her crew consisted ot six men ami a cook. The former were joint owners of the vessel, and had fitted her out in San Francisco for the pur-' pose of coming to this lay for ovslers, , although :it that time but one other ! vessel in Known u nave come nere. One or iwo settlers lived at Chinook. . and one at what was afterwards called Pacific City, but since entirely uIkui- : doned. A few Indians were found ! where ihe . vessel lav, and negotia tions were at once entered into to ob- iaiu a cargo of oysters, the Indians to ' gatlier and deliver ilie bivalves on : lwrnrd. During tlie night of the loth I tlie cook, who. it seems, had a spite i against the capkiin and some of ihe crew, conceived the brilliant idea of wreaking vengencc. by buming the ship. Accordingly, on the night in question, the vessel wa set en lire, and. the manipulator of jkuis ami pots : made good his escape with one of yie I small 1khL. and where he we went io j remains a mystery, as nothing was) ever licard from him. The crew, who : were asleep on board at the time,! lwrely escajied with a few possessions j and a scanty wardrolie. Tlie vessel i was burned to tlie water, and up to a few years ago pieces or her frame i ooidd 1 seen at low tide. The men who were cast homeless upon the j shores of Shoalwater bay were the t ilrst white settlers north of the Co lumbia rive and on the sjwt where they were so ruthlessly thrown upon j the mercies of ihe native elements; was christened Brutvport. in honor of the iil-faicd schooner, and that it was wry appropriately named no one can j deny. We find that Shoalwater bay j was'first brought into prominence by j Iter ovster beds. ra-t fir Jwtm-tf. A correspondent of itlte Manitolw J'set Irexx at the end of ihe Canadi an Pacific Railway track in tlie Rock ies, gives a glowing account or the stores of mineral wealth in those hitherto unknown regions. He says that among the men brought inli the mountains by tlie railway were hun dreds who had seen and worked in the rich gold and silver districts in tlie uorihwest territories. Tnesc men at once decided that the mountains in the vicinity of Bow and Kicking Horse rivers, as well as many smaller streams ought io contain both gold and silver. Accordingly scores of men spent their spare time prospect ing, and numerous rich finds show how their cscrtions have been re warded. Leads have been discovered and claims staked out in every direc tion. Castle mountain is said to be an almost solid mass of silver ore. .5. D. GRAY, v u4talf and retail dealer in.
