granite ridge. Splintered crasrs
and rouuhlv-rounded domes: how
stern and hard in their every
massive line. Yet how purely
toned in pale purple, where the
afternoon's sun lights their tower
ing'siirTTand how softly shaded in
tenter blue; while here and there
an untroflan snow-field slopas?
down in keen whiteness. Another
hour's climb to the summit; good
faithful climbing it was, too; where
creaenerous rocks gave way again
aCTagain bmeith our feet and
went bona ling into the hep blue

with admiration. A sud 1 en turn
brought ns unexpectedly in sight
of the peak, only about fifty feet
above. One glance, ami, without
a word, there was a simultaneous
rush for that peak, each choosing
his own road; and one short mo
ment after we climbed on the top
most rock, from three sides at
almost the same instant. Although
his y Terence, ever our leader, was
still the first, and the writer, as
usual with him, came in last. Then

How soft and velvety look the tiny
hills that stretch off to the horizon;
and how Hat the whole country
looks down there, those hills that
seemed such steep affairs when, we
were, among them, look like the
gentlest of ridges now. You see a
shiny stretch of water to the east
ward that is Hood's Canal.
There's a glimmering collection of
white' specks nt its southern ex
tremity that is Union city; and
northeastward you an just make
out another misty something that
is Seabeck. . Farther eastward you
catch the glimmer of more water,
that is Puget Sound. You can
brvmly make it out through that
long and low-lying smoke cloud; a
cloud renching nortji and south

THE DANGER SIGNAL.
Ex-Sergeant-at-Arms French, in
his interesting lecture, "Ten Years
Among the Senators," relates the
. . . J '
following amusing anecdote
Craim Senator Havia nf
truing !
v-- ?
V lrguna
West
lrginia: "There was Davis,
of
Hest Virginia. From the humble
position of a brakeruan unon the
Muroad he has tought hid upward
iv lDuoin, earnest in rii enorts tor
improving and cheapening tans-
portatioii from the interior to the
, ,.,i , ,. i u i e 1 1
stjauoard. It is wonderful how
the influence of early education
ol early habits cling to us in after
life.
Senator Davis, who, I have just
,; 1 i i J,
"ou wa9 111 early days a brake-
.man, once cave the senate an
emphatic demonstration of this
oft-noted fact. Judge Thurman
being a generous snull'-taker, car
ried an immense red bandanna
handkerchief; and when he arose
to speak usually, as a preliminary,
g'asped his liose with the red
tuntianna and gave a blast like a
tumpet It was . well toward
norning of a wearisome all-night
ession, and. Senator Davis was
asleep, his head resting upon his
u?sk. But I will say for the sen
a;or that he was not often asleep
it the senate. Senator Edmunds
bid provoked Judge Thurman to a
sjeech, and by introduction, the
ldge untuned ins red bandanna
;nd blew a blast of more than
liuai power. Mr. Davis mav have
been dreaming of his old railroad
Uys; at any rate he spran to his
ceet in a half-dazed condition, and,
carcuing sinht ot the red Hair
tiie oil signal of danger and
83 ning to imagine that ho heard
a shriek of alarm from the open
throttle of a locomotive calling
"Down brakes!" seized his desk,
and, bjjtha brakeman's fk-in, tsMik
I was not present on this occasion,
aud, therefore, cannot assert tlie
entire truth of the story from
personal knowledge. But it was
often repeated about the senate
chamber, Hiid I never heard any
of the details called ui question."
ANcTeNT ROME.
Two thousand years ago Home
was the world, ami tlie city of Home
as the world'slKfnfre. From the
imperial city wentout the decree,
that "all the World should be
taxed," and all the world made
haste to comply with the order,
having learned by a variety of
experience all depressing, that
remonstrance would be useless and
resistance fatal. The great city
possessed every apparaut element
of; stability. She had the wealth
peculiar to great cities iu general ;
tilie was the seat of the supreme
g'vernment, the centre and source
of J the national power, and the
great intellects of the empire
congregated within her walls. Her
citizens were free to devote almost
teir entire attention to problems
ofj government, for besides having
injney in abundance they hgd
teen supplied, by various suocess
fn1 wars, with an army of slaveB
It whom all manual labor and
tiwch intellectual drudgery was
dine. Everything that the intelli
fijnce and art of the age had
accomplished was at the service of
Jioinans of wealth and position;
tie stage, the forum, the
sculptor's chisel, contributed to the
delectation of ear and eye. Even
the poorer classes were better off
than the rich of other cities, foi
aspiring citizens competed for the
privilege of supplying baths, games
and sjieetacles for the masses.
All roads led to Home, ami over
them came every luxury that the
empire afforded; over them came,
too, from all provinces, countless
men and women, whose birthplaces
wore unable to confine their
restless minds and satisfy the
ambiticifiT't'hHt had been created
&'id stimulated by rumors of
what the great city desired and
gave.
It was in a Washington court A
riddy and stylishly dressed young
lady was the complainant, while a
poorly clothed old lady was the
defendant "What charge do you
make?" "Vagrancy," was the reply.
"Do you know her?" "She is my
mother." It is said that the spec
tators hissed when this reply was
made, and tho judge refused to
commit the old ladv.
A HANDY HERDER.
T , . . '.
. InSith America there is a very
Ifautiful bird called the agnmi, or
1.1, . - I . 1 . . . . 1 . 1 L . . . . . i . 11
a aJut as large in the body as one
or our common uarnyaru iowi, uui
as it lias longer legs ami a longer
neck, it seems much larger. Its
general color is black, but the
plumage on its breast is beautiful
beyond description, being what
might be called iridescent, chang
ing, as it continually does, from a
steel blue to a red gold, aud glit
tering with a metallic luster.
In the wild state the ngami is
not peculiar for anything but its
beauty, its extraordinary cry, which
has given it the name of trumpeter,
and for an odd lmbit of leaping
with comical antics into the air,
apparently for its own amusement.
When tamed, however and it
soon learns to abandon its wild
ways it usually conceives a vio
lent attachment for its master, and
though very jealous of his affec
tion endeavors to please him by a
solitude for the well being of all
that belongs to him, which may
fairly be termed benevolence.
It is never shut up at night as
the other fowl are; but, with a
well deserved liberty, is permitted
to take up its quarters where it
pleases. In the morning it drives
the ducks to the water and the
chickens to the feeding ground,
and if any should presume to wan
der they are quickly brought to a
sense of duty by a sharp reminder
from the strong beak of the vigi
lant agamir At night the faithf ul
guardian drives its charge home
again.
Sometimes it is given tlie care
of a liock of sheep; and, though it
nay seem too puny for such a task,
it is in ract quite equal to it. The
misguided sheep that tries to trifle
with the againi soon has cause to
repent the experiment; for, with a
swiftness unrivaled by any dog,
tlie leathered shepherd darts aLter
ilia runavuy, and witli wings and
beak drives it back to it place,
not forgetting to impress upon the
oiteuder a sense of its error by
pecks with its beak.
Should a dog think to take ad
vantage of the seemingly unguard
ed condition of the sheep, and ap
proach them with evil design, the
againi makes no hesitation about
rushing at him an 1 giving combat
Anditmu-t be a good d g that
will overcome tlie brave bird. In
deed, most dogs are so awed oy the
fierce onset of tlie againi, accom
panied by its strange cries that
they incontinently turn about and
run, fortunate if thev escape un-
wounded from the indignant crea
ture.
At meal time it walks into ihe
louse and takes its position near
its master, seeming to ask for his
caresses. It will not permit the
presence of,any other pet in the
room, and even resents the intru
sion of any servants not belonging
there, driving out all others before
it will be contented. Like a well
bred dig, it does not clamor for
food, but waits with dignity until
its wants have been satisfied.
A Georgia paper says: "Speak
m T-i "I T" nil
mg ot cows, iiivan rioweu had an
old - fashioned one that went
through the war with .him. Led
behind one of the caissons of his
battery she was in nearly every im-
portant Jmttle of the Army of
lennessee and, to her credit be
it said, no matter how thunderous
the roar of battle, nor how sul
phurous the air, her milk never
curdled or ceased to flow. At
night, around the camp fire, she
would yield as sweet a pailful of
milk as was ever distilled from
clover in time of profoundest
peace. She surrendered with her
battery at Macon, walked home
with her master, aud lived and died
ill honerable retirement. Her
granddaughter is now queen of a
West End clover patch, and lo ks
at visitors as if she would say, 'My
grandma fit in the war!"
At a public meeting in Edin
burgh, some time ago, Processor
Blackie told his audience the fol
lowing story: "A little boy at a
Presbytery examination was asked:
'What is the meaning of regenera
tion?' 'Oh, to be lxrn again,' he
replied. 'Quite right, Tommy.
You'rr a very good boy. Would
you not like to le born again?'
Tommy hesitated, but on being
pressed for an answer, said : 'No.'
'Why, Tommy?" 'For fear I might
be born l?ssie" h replied,"
SHEEP BREEDING.
What changes in our wool in
dustry can be admitted with a pros-
pect of success I is becoming a
question "which will soon force
itself to the notice of highland
sheep breeders. There are many
shepherds in Eastern Oregon who
have proved that they can grow
nine pounds of sound wool upon
ewes and ten to twelve pounds up
on wethers. Such facts show
that there is a class of continuous
feed sustained by the climate and
soil of this region capable of
growing a good-sized sheep, such
as can produce a long, strong-fibred
wool suitable for warp wols or for
combing purposes which will
command a better price in tho
market than the shorter wool, even
of as high blood. We have in
some previous articles referred to
a call that seems to be increasing
for longer wools which are suited
for combing for the manufacturer
of worsted goods of all kinds.
Although the uses into which these
goods are brought admits of a
much coarser fiber if it only has
length and strength, yet its value
is equally favorably qualified by
its fineness and elasticity. Nearly
all portions of the country which
are devoted to sheep husbandry
seem to vie with each other in
high grade of merino blood, with
out taking into consideration that
there are crosses or lines of this
blood which if bred with care
and upon lands which will sustain
a full year's feed, which will assure
a constant progress in the economy
of the sheep, would produce a wool
which would bring a much better
price in the market, and if a good
market can be secured for the
mutton sheep, a much larger profit
can be realized from the industry.

NEVADA NICKEL.
As the discovery ot nickel on
this coast has opened a new field
of mining industry, and one which
has every indication of becoming
equal to the Comstock in richness,
the Sacramento Record concluded
to gather the facts. In this dis
cover', as in hundreds of other
great finds, these mines have been
lying for years within plain sight
of a stage road where people con
stantly travel, without even notice.
Many samples of the ore have been
sent to dift'erenf assayers 'Jftir.x.oP-
perrmrMm took the trouble
to analyze the rock until it was
sent tohis city. In 1851 samples
of this ore were 6ent tovCharles
Bell for copper assay. Upon ex
amination it was found to contain
a large per cent, of nickel. More
of the ore being secured, it was an
alyzed, proving the first result
Upon this showing William S.
Bell was sent to discover the loca
tions, and succeeded in finding the
richest and . most valuable nickel
property ever discovered. The dis
covery being kept as secret as pos
sible, little was Known as to its ex
tent until recently. The property
has been well prospected and the
largest bodies of this mineral ex
posed that have ever been known.
The nickel ores of Pennsylvania
average but two per cent. They
are reduced on the ground to fif
teen per cent and Bent to CamtJpn,
N. J., where they are again re
duced and the metal extracted.
The nickel found in Oregon has
also been opened, but to what ex
tent cannot l ascertained. Thirty
tons of the Nevada nickel were
sent to London, which graded
twenty-nine and ono-fodrth per
cent. These mines are the only
ones yet discovered that carry uni
formly the three distinct charac
ters, viz: Arseniuret, which is a
grayish metallic red; arseniate, a
beautiful apple green, and arsenite,
having a dark metallic lustre.
"Don't you think she's pretty?"
said Jhe fond mother to the father,
asasho stroked the baby's silken
hair. He was in a sulking mood,
something had disagreed with him
and he replied somewhat curtly:
"Oh, all babies are about alike.
They all look like little monkies."
Just then a neigldior entered and
taking up the baby on her lap, said:
"Mercy on us, how like its father
that child is!"
"Are you aware that breakfast
is ready and waiting for you?" she
demanded, as she nearly 6hook his
nightcap off. "Yes," he eleepily
replied, "I am just waking up to
thev f,ct,"
