ulent city bonds to the amount of 50,000
some years ago. His friends hero say he

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 COLUMBIA BAR.
Ireent State of the Proposed Iniprorr meat.
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.

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.
