Hawkins has writ ten an article to the American Grocer on the use of canned goods in tho army. He says the army posts throughout the Union have been supplied with canned meats, fruit, vegetables and preserves for nearly twenty years. Many of the posts are located where it is not possible to cultivate gardens. As n class, army people are, without doubt, the largest consumers of canned goods in propor tion to their number. They are relatively more numerous here than in any other country. Notwithstand ing this large consumption, he haB never known or heard of u case of canned goods poison in the army. He states that goods of no particular pack ing are used; they are purchased all over the country, but usually from the packer or manufacturer, who converts the crude material into the canned article. He has inquired of army surgeons and thsy tell him they have no knowledge of r.ny cases of poisoning from canned goods.

Nasmith, but, says the News, his actions recently indicate that his "noble and most sovereign reason" is, "like sweet bells jangled out of time and harsh." Some time since Mr. Nesmith had an apoplectic stroke, and since then he has shown many symptoms of disor dered mind. It was thought that soften ing of the brain had already set in. but during last week the symptoms of an active mania set in. These manifesta tions took the 6hape of a revival of old hates, which were engendered during ex citing political contests. These old con troversies were revived in recollection, and tho old politician went on the war path. During the prevalence of this active mania Mr. Nesmith met Attorney W. W. Page. It appears that Mr. Page and Mr. Nesmith always disagreed when ever they met one intensely disliking the other, and neither taking any pains to conceal their mutual animosity. The ex-senator fiercely attacked the attorney and pummelled him rather severely. There were others that Mr. Nesmith de sired to meet, but fortunately they learn ed of his hostile intentions and prudent ly kept out of his way. Tho old gentle man stopped at the' Hoi ton, but made matters so lively around that hostelrie that his relatives were compelled to take him to the asylum. His friends, from tho activo form which the mania has taken, hope Mr. Nesmith is not suffering from softening of the brain, and con sider that the disease of his mind is only temporary, and that ero long Mr. Nes mith will be himself again. Mr. Nesmith has been prominently connected with the early history of Ore gon, and is known as a read1 and biting writer, v celebrated wit, an eloquent ora tor and an able statesman. Some of his bon mots will bo long remembered. A brief biography of the career of this self made man may not prove uninteresting. He was born in Washington county, Maine, on July 23, 1820, and when quite young, removed to New Hampshire, and in 1835 went to Ohio, and subsequently to Missouri, where he mastered the car penter trade. In 1813 Mr. Nesmith start ed across the plains to far-off Oregon. The cause that impelled him to take this step, or so many step3, is best told in his own word, as said by him during an oration before the Pioneer Association in .1873: "I was a poor, homeless youth, desti tute alike of friends, money and educa tion. Actuated by a reckless spirit of adventure, one place was to mo the same as the other. No tie of near kindred or possession bound me to any spot of tho earth's surface. Thinking my condition might be bettered, and knowing it could not be worse, I took a leap in the dark." Mr. Nesmith located at Oregon City and resumed work at his trade of carpenter. In 1848 and in 18c3 he commanded as Captain two expeditions against the Indians. In 1853 ho was appointed United States Marshal for Oregon which position he resigned. Li 1857 he was appointed superintendent of Indian affairs for Oregon and Washington Ter ritories. In 18G1 he was elected United States senator, serving until 18G7, and during this time serving on the commit tees on commerce and revolutionary claims. During this t'me he distinguished himself so as to mako a national reputa tion. In 186G he was appointed a visitor to West Point Academy, and was one of the senators designated to attend the funeral of General Scott. He was also a delegate to the Philadelphia national union convention of 1866. He was sub sequently appointed Minister to Austria, but was not confirmed; and while devot ing himself to farming in Oregon, was elected to the forty-third congress, in place of J. J. Wilson, deceased. Mr. Nesmith has a grown-up family. His three daughters are married, and his sons aid him m cultivating one of the finest farms in tho state. He has lived a fife of usefulness and has considerable property. It is, therefore, to be hoj.3d that his mis fortune may be only temporary, and that the latter part of his life may not be clouded by a loss of reason. THE LETEL-HEADEH JENKINS. No featuro of a local paper is more in teresting to the larger class of its read ers than the column devoted to the per sonal mention of people, their doings, movements, etc. We therefore request our friends to aid us in making the lo cal columns of the Reveille as complete in this respect as possible. This can be done by furnishing us with the proper items and information. If you have a friend to visit you, or you contemplate a visit to a friend, don't tako it for grant ed that the Reveille will find itout in some way and mention it, but como and tell us of tho fact, and then if the announcement is not made, you can blamo the editor for stupidity. Don't hesitate to stop us in the street; if you have an item, and if it's concerning your self, don't be modest in tho premises. Newspaper men don't go very much on modesty, anyhow. If you prefer not to be seen associating with the editor some people are very sensitive you know then step into tho offioe some evening after dark, and if this is not convenient, jot the information down on a postal card, and mail it. In fact tho Reveille is perfectly willing that you may resort. to any measure in order that its columns may impart news and information. Whatcom Reveille. Another Kind of Fair. A few weeks ago, E. C. Ferguson, ono of the New Orleans World's Fair com missioners of Washington territory.wrote to the different county nuditors, asking if there were any agricultural societies or fairs held in their respective counties and wishing to obtain the addresses of the secretaries. The object was to induce tho associations to send specimens of the products of tho territory to the New Orleans exposition. Numerous replies were received; among others the one fol lowing, which is said-to have given the estimable and veneraole commissioner a most tremendous sheck: Ovstebvillb, W. T., Aug. 20, 1884. Deau Sib: AYe have no such associa tions in our county. The only fairs held here are fair sex; they aro held at all sea sons of tho year, and at any hour of the day or night; come down. Yours truly, John Davis, Auditor of Pacific county, W. T, Judge Taylor closed tho late term of the circuit court on Friday last, and on Saturday started with several gentlemen who are engaged in the term of court which commenced on Monday at Prine ville, for Crook county. Judge Taylor has commanded the respect of those who have attended the late term of court in this city by his dignified appearance and prompt action. The Dalles Sun, 24. The case of Nelson Bennett, who sued the Northern Pacific Express company for the value of a package of currency carried by the company from this city to Ainsworth and stolen from the agent's safe at that place, went to the iurv m the state circuit court yesterday. After less than an hour's deliberation they returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, viz.: $18,784.27, and interest at 8 per cent from January 31, 1884, $l,lG5.28t,a total of $19,949.55.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE DISTANCE OF AN OBJECT ON SEA. It is amusing to note how ignorant many ordinary seamen and nearly all sea travelers are of such matters as the dis tance of the sea horizon, tho way in which a ship's place at sea is determined, and other such matters which all sea men might be expected to understand, and most persons of decent education might be expected to have learned some thing about at school. Ask a sailor how far off a ship may be, which is hull down, and he will give youn opinion based entirely on his knowledge of the ship's probable size, and on the distinctness with which he sees her. "This opinion is often pretty near the truth; but it may be preposterously wrong if his idea of the ship's real size is very incorrect, and is sometimes quite wrong even when he knows her size somewhat accurately. Any notion that the .distance may be very precisely inferred from the relative position of the hull nndthe horizon line seems not to enter tho average sailor's head. During my last journey across the Atlantic wo had several curious illus trations of this. For instance, on ono occasion a steamer was passing at such a distance as to be nearly hull down. From her character it was known that the portion of her hull concealed was about 12 feet in hoight, while it was equally well known that the eye oi an observer standing on tho saloon passen ger's deck on the City of Rome was about 30 feet above the water level. A sailor, asked (by way of experiment) how far off the steamer was, answered, "Six or seven miles." "But sho is nearly hull down," some one said to him. "I didn't say sho warn't, as I know3 on," was tho quaint but stupid reply. Now, it might be supposed to be a generally known fact, that even as seen from the deck of one of the ordinary Atlantic steamers, the horizon is fully six miles away, the height of tho eye being about 18 or 20 feet, and that for the concealod portion of the other ship's hull a distance of four or five miles more must be allowed; so that the man's mistake was a gross one. And several other cases of a similar kind occurred during my seven days' journey from Queenstown to Now York. The rules for determining the distance of objects at sea, when the height of the observer's eye and the height ot the con cealed part of the remote object above the sea lrrel are both known, are exceed ingly simple, and should be known to all. Geometrically, the dip of the sea surface is eight inches for a mile, four times this for two miles, nine times this for three miles, and so forth; the amount being ob tained by squaring the number of miles and taking so many times eight inches. But, in reality, we are concerned only with the optical depression, which is somewhat less, because the line of sight to tho horizon is slightly curved (the concavity of tho curve being slightly turned downward). Instead of eight inches for a mile, the optical depression is about six inches at sea, where the real horizon can be observed. But, substi tuting six inches for eight, the rule is as above given. Six inches being half a foot, we obtain the number of six inch lengths in the height of an observer's eyo by doubling the number of feet in that height; the square root of this number of six inch lengths gives the number of miles in the distance of the sea horizon. Thus, sup pose the eye of the observer 18 feet above the sea level; then we double 18, getting 3G, the square root of which is G; hence the horizon lies at a distance of six miles as seen from an elevation of IS feet. For a height of 30 feet, whioh is about that of the eye of an observer on the best deck of the City of Rome, we double 30, getting GO, the square root of which is 7.7; hence, as seen from that deck the horizon lies at a distance of 7 7-10 mil 63. If the depth of the part of a distant ship's hull below tho horizon is known, the distance of the ship beyond the hori zon is obtained in tho samo way. Thus, suppose the depth of the part concealed to be 12 feet, then we take the square root of twice 12, or 24, giving 4.9, showing that that ship's distance beyond ihe hori zon is 4 9-ld miles. Hence, if a ship is seen so far hull down, from the hull of the City of Rome, we infer that its dis tance is 4 9-10 miles beyond the distance of the horizon, which we have seen to be 7 7-10 miles giving for that ship's dis tance 12 3-5 miles. And with like ease may all such cases be dealt with. R. A. Proctor, in Newcastle Weekly Chronicle. Sitka Jack's Potlateh. Sitka Jack's house is a large square one fronting directly on tho beach, and during his absenco at Pyramid harbor tho square hearthstone in the middle is being kept warm by the relatives he has left behind him. When this house waB built, in 1877, it was warmed by a grand potlateh or feast and gift distribution that distanced all previous efforts of any rivals. An Alaska chief is considered rich in proportion as he gives away his possessions,and Sitka Jack raised an hundred-fold in Siwash esteem when he gave his grand potlateh. All his relatives as sisted in building the house, and this same community idea entitled them to live in it. Over 500 blankets were given aw,ay at his grand potlateh, and the dance, was followed by a great feast, in which much whisky and native Jhoochinoo fig ured. Ben Holladay, with a large yacht ing party? was in tho harbor at the time, and lent interest to the occasion by offer ing prizes for canoa races and adding a water carnival to tho other festivities. Sitka Jack nearly beggared himself by his great spread, but his fame was set tled on a substantial basis, and he has since had time to partially recuperate. He has aged rapidly of late years, and now he delights to crouch by His fireside in winter evenings and relate the story of his great potlateh of seven years ago. Mr. Horace E.

HOW IT FEELS TO BE STRUCK BT LIGHT NINO "I had a strange experience on Satur day," said a young man connected with one of the largest tobacco establishments in the city to a reporter of tho Baltimore American. "I was struck by lightning and did not know it struck by a piece of thunderbolt and never knew what hit me. I was at my desk at the store Sat urday afternoon, working like a Turk getting the books in sha'pe. Ton remem ber how tho rain came down, and how bright the lightning was for u few min utes. The back door was open, and there was quite a draft in the room, as the cool air felt Yery pleasant. All of a sudden that unusually sharp flash of lightning came. I felt nothing peculiar, but felt a sharp smack just over my right eye, aa if something had hit me, or, perhaps better, as if a bee "or wasp had lit there for a second and stung me. It naturally scared me and I jumped from my seat and looked around in rather a dazed manner, trying to think what had happened. One of the members of tho firm, who had been partially blinded by the flash, saw me star : and called out to me to know what waa the matter. I could give no explanation at first, but finally explained to him that 1 had leu a sharp smack upon the fore head. He looked, nnd, sure enounh. tliM-n he found a bright red. mark, which ap peared as li it uuu ueen maae uy a sharp rap with the end of a ruler. He then told me he had folt a shock himself, and, more than that, he had seen the light ning playing in tho store, making, as it were, a passage from the front door through the back. "I examined the mark on my forehead afterward, but could discover nothing peculiar about it. There was a slight pain for a while, but it soon passed away and an hour afterward there was not a sign of the mark left. I am confi dent I was struck by lightning, but I be lieve I am probably tho luckiest man who had that misfortune. I believe in the old adage that lightning never strikes twice in the samo place and shall ocoapy that seat at my desk with a greater senso of security than I ever j assessed before." "And there was no noise about it nothing like a smash?" "Not a-smash." MLABITY FOB HENDUICKS. Hendricks thinks he is the cork on Cleveland's, fish-Hne at present.
