But ours will only last one day, it will be with ballots and not witli bullets, and the govern ment will go right on. In Europe it will be horrible carnaRe, suffering and endless expense, and destruction to some form of government That is the difference between the American idea and the European idea. . . Within forty miles of Rochester, N. Y., there are more than 1,500 fruit evaporators, from the small farm house drier, of a capacity of twenty five bushels a day, to the large steam evaporators, drying 800 to 1,000 bush els of apples each twenty-four hours. These evaporators give employment during the autumn and early winter months to at least 30,000 hands, who average from S3 to 12 a week, ac cording to experience and usefulness. American evaporated apples are sold largely in Germany. Attempts made to establish the fruit evaporating business in that country have failed. An adequate supply of fruit could not be had to keep the evaporators running, and what was furnished was of poor quality. In none of the northern countries of Europe are ap ples so plentiful as they always have been in this country. Land in En gland is too dear to grow apples in competition with the United States. Xew Coal Mints. Thebe are special reasons why Americans take a deep interest in the perils and hopes of the French repub lic. One is the historical reason, that the struggle of the two countries for political liberty took place at nearly the same time, and were in a certain degree, connected and interwoven with 'each other. The otlier reason exists in the fact that France is the only European nation of the first rank which has adopted, and is trying to maintain, a foreign government in the main similar to our own. Captain Wiggins has rendered a brilliant service to commerce. Ere long we shall no doubt hear that the commercial world is prepared to do him honor. He has surmouuted bar riers which have hitherto been regard ed as insurmountable, and proved that there is a waterway right into the heart of Siberia. His efforts to this end, in the face of such formidable obstacles, read like a page from ro mance. When he conceived the idea that it was possible to find a way into the Kara sea and to sail thence by one or other of the great rivers, the Obi and the Yenisei, he was mate of an English brig in the Archangel trade. The Kara had always been regarded as icebound, but he learnt that the word meant "black," and by some pro cess of reasoning concluded that it implied "open water." He determined that if he could find the oppor tunity he would solve the problem. With his own money he fitted out a small Arctic-built steam yacht in 1874, and succeeded in sailing through the Kara straits (or Iron Gates), then to the mouth of the Obi, and after wards to the estuary of the Yenisei. In his next expedition he managed to ascend the Yenisei for nearly a thousand miles. Afterwards ho met with many disappointments; but at last ho has safely navigated an iron steamer of 400 tons, carrying a gen eral cargo, and drawing 11 feet, from the Tyne to Yeniseisk, the first large town on the Yenisei, some two thou sand miles from the mouth of the river, and within measurable distance from the Chinese frontier. For a considerable distance up the river the vessel was piloted by a native blind chief, who only required to be told the landmarks in order to act as a safe guide. This discover' of Capt Wiggins's will no doubt speedily be turned to practical account for it has riven the world a new and valuable market A Chicago man tells a good story of the late Larry Jerome. Without being a fighter himself, Larry was a great admirer of the manly art, and patronized so many pugilists that he well knew and could cleverly counter feit their ways and manners. That he loved a practical joke goes without saying. One day Jerome stood with a party of friends upon the rear plat form of the rear car of a New York Central passenger train that was pull ing out of the station at Rochester. Standing by watching the outgoing tram was a big burly fellow witu the gaw of a bulldog and the biceps of a prize bulL He looked every inch the lighter. "uo you see mat big sluggerr ex claimed Jerome to his friends; "he is the boss pugilist of Rochester, and I am going to have some fun with him." And immediately Larry hailed the big man and began abusing him. He shook his fist at the astonished stranger, called him a liar, and a thief, a coward, a sneak, and dared and double dared him to come on and show what he was made of. As soon as he had recovered from his amaze ment, the ugly-looking fellow did in deed make a few steps toward his enemy, but the train was going so fast that even had he been a sprinter, as well as a pugilist, he could not have overtaken it. Larry and his friends enjoyed tho joke hugely, as long as they could see the discomfited pugilist stood watcii ing the train, with his fists doubled up and lip quivering with anger. En tering tho car, the party proceeded to make merry over another bottle. But suddenly consternation seized them. The discovery was made that the train had stopped, switched over to another track, and was now back ing into the station. They rushed to the platform again, and beheld the boss pugilist of Rochester standing in eager expectancy. A smile played on his lips, and his right arm was seen to be in gentle motion, as if it were being limbered up. "Great heavens !" exclaimed Jerome, with blanched face. "That man will eat me ud. What shall I do?" And as the Rochester slugger sprang for the now slowly moving train Larry fled from coach to coach till he found a brakeman who agreed to hide him in some safe place till all dancer had nassed. The pugilist no w became a passenger and rode some seventy miles hunting the train from one end to the other for nis victim. He found him not, and threatened to wreak his vengeance upon Jerome's companions, who remained meek and lowly, though snickering when they dared, at their friend's predicament. Buffalo was well nigh reached before Larry ventured to emerge from his hiding place, and he did not then come forth till ho had been assured over and over again that the man he had been having fun with had left the train. The O. R. & N. company has pur chased a large tract of coal lands near Cle-elnm, and has been conducting some interesting tests. The coal vein in that section dips to the south at an angle of fifteen degrees, or near ly bo. It is the same as now operated by the Northern Pacific Coal com pany at Roslyn, and tho new mine re cently opened and now. operated by negroes. The O. R. & N. company has drilled a test hole 285 feet deep in order to determine the dip of the coal vein and the general character of the strata through which a shaft would be sunk. It is generally be lieved that the O. K. & N. company proposes constructing a railroad to these mines from the Columbia river, probably at the Cascades or at The Dalles, where the river could be bridged with comparative ease.

There are in this county forty-six camps of loggers, employing 670 men, and the output of logs was 108,250, 000 feet. In addition to this there were seven camps in King county, on the Snoqualmie fork of the Snoho mish river, which floated past Sno homish City 14,000.000 feet of logs.

One day as a little urchin was run ning along the road he saw a quarter lying on the footpath, which lie had no sooner picked up than it was claimed by a tramp, who thought to frighten tho boy out of his prize. The latter, assuming a terrified air, blub bered eut: "Your quarter hadn't got a hole in it?" "Oh, yes, it had," shouted tho eager rogue. "'Then this un arn't he," coolly replied the ur chin, and off he walked in triumph. Wonld lie Small Lumber on the Columbia. Keep On Praying, Old Man.
