There is little do ing iu the way of building new boats this spring. Sea bass are very plenty: plentier thau smelt. Soma of the former brought in yesterday weighed 300 pounds each. This being the Jjenten season makes this item one of interest. Yesterday's warm rain caused the pollywogs to wriggle their respective tails with unusual activity. They are of the submarine variety and unknown in in land communities. Nothing moved by laud or sea in this vicinity yesterday that could do other wise. The weather was too thick to see if the Quern was outside or not. The Columbia will probably sail to-day. The dance at Kuappa last Tuesday night was a success, as the Knappa dances always are.

Some time ago word came that rich silver mines had been found on the Trask river, in Tillamook county. Now it is reported by private letter "that rich gold diggings have been found. Good placer mines would star) an old fashioned stampede down that way in less than no time. Major P. G. Eastwick eamo down from Portland last evening, lie has charge of the dotails of tho preliminary work on the bar and leave3 for the scene of opera tions this morning. He has devoted con siderable time to the elaboration of the general plan and is heartily in accord with the moasure. The superintendent of the Indian school at Forest Grove has received in structions from the interior department at Washington to take possession of a vplot of ground near the fair grounds at Salem, and construct an Indian school thereon. The work of constructing tho building will commence with the opening of spring. A Port Townsend special to ihe Posl- Intellegencer says: Much excitement has been created hero over tho absconding of John B. Yoorhees, a lawyer, who sailed for San Francisco last week on tho steamer Mexico, under the name of Pea body. His real name turns out to be Thomas Nevins, and he was tho abscond ing major of Adrian, Michigan, where ho was implicated in the issue of fraud ulent city bonds to the amount of 50,000 some years ago. His friends hero say he has started back to stand his trial, that he was not guilty of intentional fraud, and that the city of Adrian did not lose anything by the bonds, which were can celled as fraudulent. He is a smart young lawyer and made many friends while here. The ticket issued to him on the Mexico was first made out in the namo of Wallace. A rewanl of 3.000 has been offered for his arrest by the Adrian authorities. SPAKKS FROM THE TEI.KtiKANI. Kouti. Feb. 24.

The work of improving the Columbia bar has begun. There i3 a large amount of preliminary work nrcessary before the actual building of the jetty is begun. The magnitude of the undertaking makes it requisite that plant sufficient shall be built and collected, and nearly all tho important parts of this preliminary work are now contracted for :nd building. It is probable tliat the applicances neces sary to tuako ready for the work proper will absorb the 100,000 appropriated, and if congress appropriates about half a million before adjourning next Tuesd.'ry, considerable progress can be made. This summer will see a good deal done that is necessary to get in proper shape for getting at the real work of building the jetty. The wharf east of Fort Stevens and the trestle work leading to it is now building; as also the stone barges. There will be car and machine shops be gun as soon as possible, twenty-four patent rocker stone cars, two miles of mils; ties, fish plates, switches, a 22,000 pound locomotive and other appliances have been ordered, and will be hero next month. There will be half a mile of railroad track, narrow guage, built from the wharf, past the fort in a westerly di rection, hoisting engines, dummies, der ricks, etc., will be put in place, and iua few weeks' time the fort and vicinity wi 1 present a Pcene of great activity. (MXOEIXC IXAI.AMCI. Captain Carroll of the steamer Idaho, has received the following interesting letter from Dr. Evoretts, relating his ad- enlurcs on a canoe voyage 750 miles up the upper Yukon to Fort Reliance, Alas ka, whence the letter is dated: 'I left Chilcat Juno 13th and arrived at the head of the canoe navigation of the upper Yukon on the lth. Here I built a raft very close 10 where Scthwatka built his. I floated down to tho first portage and procured logs, which I whip3awed into boards and made a boat, starting again June 30th, accompanied by a miner from Killisnoo named Hess. We de scended the chain of lakes in safety and arrived at the canyon July 7th, where we made another iortage of two miles. Hess droppd the boat through the canyon and i began packing. Wo loaded up at the mouth, passed the Five Rapids iu safety, and 1 was just congratulating myself on our success in running tho rapids, when 1 heard the roaring of waters below me and I tried to pull for the shore, but it was of no use. the current was too strong to pull against. On we went sideways right into the midst of the worst rapids" on the entire river. Ono more wave and, my dear captain, 1 would probably be feeding the fishes in stead of writing letters. Well the boat filled to within three inches of her rail at the stern, and I was sitting there at the time, you can imagine in what a condition 1 was. Everything was wet and damaged. It was very provoking. We ran through lake Labarge, and when about seventy five miles above tho mouth of Pelly river we met three miners on a gravel bar Messrs. Boswell, Franklin and Madison of Harrisburg. They had a rich thing. Boswell informed me that ho could take out 1500 per day with a rock er when the water was low. 1 saw .some of the dust they had taken out. It was very fine, yellow, scalj' stuff some thing like Palmer gulch dust of the Black hills. Here my companion caught the gold fever and left me. So I came on alone, and when off the mouth of the Pelley river, fifteen noble red Lo's of the woods, seeing me alone, tried to per suade me to let them take my provisions, break up my boat and kill me and throw me in the river. I rather objected, es pecially at the latter part of the circus. and I very kindly persuaded them that it would not be just the thing thev ex pected it if they tried it, and after awhile they seemed to think so also, tor my Colt's self-cocking 45 was too much for their long knives and furious looks, and they knew it. I jumped in among them, overturned a couple, untied my bow line, shoved off and away I went down the stream, amidst their angry exclamations and furious gestures, indicating that they had no intention of robbing me. "I arrived at this post (abandoned for the summer) Juty 22d and am awaiting the .arrival of the Alaska Commercial Company's steamer to take my mail down to St. Michael s. I will ascend the White river this fall and there, winter, then in the spring will cross over to Copper river, descend it and trv and arrive at the coast in the fall of 1835. Gold can be found on nearly every gravel bar, of course in limited quantities. It is all very fine, scaly dust. At extreme low water, if sluice-boxes were used, nearly any an cient bar would pay for the working. This interior is greatly misrepresented the climate is even preferable to that of northern Montana, being something sim ilar to northern Idaho and the Kootenai country. Tho country consists of low rolling hills, densely covered with larch and poplar, cottouwood. white birch, alder and willow on the river banks. I passed many fine flat table-lauds and mesas, covered with bunch grass, white sage, wild llowers and moss. 1 wit write j'ou fuller details in my next." .'. F. Chixmicle.

Bctclier 3lot Startling Srmna. Last Snuday in Brooklyn. Henry "Ward Beecher preached :i .sermon which has caused the most comment of any sermon that that grent preacher has ever deliv ered. A telegraphed synopsis of it ap pears belew: 'If in. any church men are helped by ordinances; if the Catholic church suits the wants of a man, and he is conscious that he is growing there better than he could anvwhero else, very well. Tnis 15 without prejudice t a man wh y s'.y.-: J I can't go the burJensoms operu.ons'of J the Catholic church, but I can take the helps afforded me by the Epsopil; church." Very well: let him help him self, and with no prejudice to him who says: "leant stand all tins uumuicry. lam a l'resuvtenan and 1 oelitve in "ood'plain worship." All right. If that i is what yon want, take it, without any ' prejudice to a Cougregationalisi, who j 'say,: "We don't believe in cldershij and iu combinations of churches into national ferms: we believe iu the demo cratic form of worship."' Very well: take it, without prejudice to a Quaker, who says: "I don't believe in any form?. I believe in the silence of the soul which God illuminates.' Vorywell. take that. Every man is free, aud no man is mas ter of anybody else's freedom. If any body wants "to go into the Roman Catholic church, and 1 think he isgood enough, let him come to me and I will givo him a letter of dismissal from this church and send him there. I have done it already in one instance, and I have no doubt that that j'oung girl is better off thau sho would have been in this church. If anybody wants to go out of this church into the Episcopal church ho has only to signify it, and he will go with tho most cordial Christian wishes. Their growth is tho thing to be sought, not ours, and if there are soma persons that would go away from this church, I think they would grow in grace a good deal more than they seem to have done in it. I make no al lusion to recent things at all, because those aro all passed away, but this I do say: I have been preaching to men nearly forty years here and I don't perceivo that they are in tho least moro benevolent thau they were when I toel: them in charge. They are just as selfish, aud I don't see but they are just as sordid, some of them. No personalities. I don't see but what they are just as worldly and just as much under the influence of passions and with out wisdom as they wero thirty years ago, and I say it not for sarcasm, not forwit, nor for anything else. I am afraid that I have been a savior of death unto death to a great many persons in this congre gation, and while 1 feel for them every friendship and esteem their various ex cellences, In God's name, if there is any body else that can help them and do something for thetu. I wish they would go and find this master of the soul. All this was said by Mr. Beecher with visible evidence of deep feeling. Bo, then, i am not undervaluing dogmas or doc trines, or church organization-?. 1 am only saying that these are the instru ments by which to develop the true spir itual manhood, and when that is de veloped, in any way whatsoever, it is ac cent able to Goil. Do you mean, then, that if a Moham medan has these qualities of tin- soal I15 is acceptable to God? 1 do. Do you mean to say that if a man is an infidol he can bo acceptable to God? 1 do. Well, how can you reconcile that with statement that' it makoi a differ ence what a man lnslieves and whether right or wrong? If I supposed that ull religious life sprang from reason and beliefs It would be diffi cult to reconcile, but look at the facts. What are the influences that determine human character? Heredity is one of tho leading. The most precious legacy a man receives from his parents is that tendency, if they have lived right, to transmit the right tendency, aud there are multitudes of men born in a fully balanced state of mind, and that bring with them the righteousness of their an cestors, being loru into a household with Christian influences around them. Now, a man like that has got hold of Spinoza and that whole school of pro found reasoners, and pursues his edu cation in universities where the princi pal scientific men are materialists; he becomes unsettled. At 45 or 50 he may stand out with no religious beliefs, as is said, meaning nouo of the beliefs that go into tho creeds. I have in mind such a man, aud he was no worso a man because he was ray mother's brother. A man of wide travel and culture, and as to goodness, ho was almost tho synonym for it. Ho did not despise Christians, but their tenets he did not hold, saying ever moro, shaking his wise head: "Ah. my dear, we don't know, wc don't know." Do you supposo that man, a benefactor of men do von suppose I have any doubt as to whether ho is saved? The example of Christ is the ono thing in regard to nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand in a million that would 'enable the man to come up from a lower to a higher plane. Nevertheless, if in any way a man has gone up, if any man has found in himself the kingdom of heaven with out knowing Jesu3 Christ, orever having heard of him, he will be saved. It is not calling out a name thatsavc3, it is falling in love with tho qualities represented by that name. The question is not whether you have complied with a system. There a good many heathen Christians that will teach Christian Christians in the other life, I guess. Are you living toward God. and aro you reaching toward him ? That is the question that ought to come home very close to every mjn. Uniit Look Like a Wreck, uYhen a man is going down hill everybody is ready to give hiin a kick." Yes, trial is so.
