At a conference a commission appointed to report to congress the best method of securing a transpor tation route around the cascades of the Columbia, three plans were dis cussed: First, to provide a canal and locks around the cascndos;seconcl, to build a boat railroad, and third, to eoiirttiuct, temporarily, a portage railroad. The commission said that it was ready to send to congress es timates of the cost of the first and third plans, but that to make esti mates for a boat railroad an engineer would have to be f-cnt to Europe to inspect similar works there, and that would take several months. The report on the first and third plans will be sent to congress with in a few days. A I.IH5SON AND WAKNJNO. The Caiti-aIiJouknai, recently published a correspondence to the Country Gentleman on the above topic and endorsed the sentiment expressed by the author. "Punclio" uu able corresp.indent from Oregon in the California Patron and Agri culturist, takes isstio with the Cai- itaIi JouhnaIj on that question and belabors it most uninerellully. This writer thinks "Suneho" "looked through the glass darkly" but failed to get the true gist of the argument. "The moro I see of the agricultur al schools, the more I study the sub ject of agricultural teaching, the more 1 am convinced that the teaching of practical farm work at n college or school of agriculture is, and of necessity must be, a fuice and a humbug." Is this not ti ue? Can "Funcho" refer to one college that is un excep tion? The wilter knew no less than a dozen farmers sons who graduated at an agricultural college, not one of whom Is a practical farmer nor follows that profession. If we send our sons ton medical school and they return disgusted with the profession we would cer tainly pronounce that school a fail ure. I f it was a law school, a t Iieo logical or busliKws college and the young dlw -lplo was taught and en couraged to love something vise the verdict Would be the same. A "practical" fanner may have little or no knowledge of Latin, Clieek or Hebrew; may know noth ing of the orbits, of the planets nor of the sidereal heavens; In fact he cannot elueidato the mysteries of a ray of light nor point out the signs of the zodiac; explain the causes of the ebb and (low of tlio tides nor the beauties or the Aurora borealis. There are many other things lie need not know to bo a "practical" farmer, anil yet there aro many things not taught In our agricultur al colli ges that he must know be fore ho urn hope to siicccd. The w liter once saw a college pro- feasor attempting to plow some clay lands and he was dragging Ills plow along fretting and scolding at a ter rible rate because it would not do hatter. The writer was raised on a farm, his past experience- detected the defect immediately, and turn ing the plow on or removed thu clog that had accumulated underneath, and thou he went on his way doing good work and rejoicing. This little experience he neor will forget and would readily relievo his plow wheu thu clog should accumulate again. Wo also take Issue with "Snncho" on the labor question It is not the laborer that dignities labor but the ooiupennntlon. If all the great men of the world hoed cotton for SO cents pur day the lahor would ho no more dlgnilled than now but if t ho com ponantlon was raised to ten orilfteou dollar per day the labor would bo m dlgnltled that the most promi nent cltiacn would gladly do It hoiiiHgv. If thu llfty thousand a year wan taken from the l'resldant of the rnltiHl State and only ft starving pittance allowed, the oflleo would atnk Into luKlKiilncHiue and the prutUlvucy would lone IU digni ty. Jfcrtner uiut Uud together, lIMMt dignify their labor by luakiuw Jt tnotv ptvttuMe, then tholr ou will I couleuud to Htay on the The dreadful .-.flair at Birming ham, Alabama should stand as u lcs-on and warning to every com munity. What is life worth? Ajs parent'ly nothing. Here were twelve or more citizens killed and many wounded. Some of the dead were men among the very choicest of our race and time all on account of one murderous brute, whose life is worth no more than a mad dog's. But why did those good citizens attack the jail? Simply because of a sense universally pervading the popular breast that law is a mock ery and justice uncertain. So much money will buy so many votes, will hire a jury, buy a lawyer and witnesses. Such and such a secret lnlluence or connection will let red handed minder walk forth free and respectable. The same act, identi cally, that condemns a poor boy to twenty yearn at hard labor has "not guilty" stamped on it when done by one of wealth or high numerous connection. And there is a natural nrotesi against this, and the very wen who, perhaps as jurors, do these wrongs are llrst to head the mob to lynch thu accused. Yes a lesson and a warning to every son of man, that he must in no event or circumstances fail to do his solunin duty as a citizen. The man who failed to do his duty as a junnmn in compensation becomes one ot (lie mob. Onr Tlrt Morino Stifcp. The first merino sheep thnt ever left the shores of Spain for the United States. or for any other foreign port, came from thero to Boston in 1790. For hundreds of years the Spanish government hod pro hibited the exportation of merinos under heavy penalties, as It knew the crcnt vnlue of that product of Its mountaii". nnd did not intend to sharo its boneJiN and profits Tilth any other country, mid thus the sheep had remained confined to i ....i..ino tim onvv of the world. The law wns still in force in 1700, but the Hon. William Porter, of Massachusetts, was in Spain in that yenr, and by pome means managed to obtain three merinos which ho brought safely home. Strange nnd unaccountable as it may seem, theso three valuable sheep, the first, to leao thcl" lifttho hills, and to obtain which mnny governments would have paid al most any price, fell into the pose felon ot a man who appreciated the ownership fo lightly that 1 c slaughtered them, and sold their mutton at the regular market price. That man wa Andrew CrniKic, of Cam bridge. He knew what he had dono in F.:ter year', v. lien, to obtain a merino ram for breeding purposes, he paid thu turn of 1,000 cash. In 1802 Col. David Humphreys was United State minister to Spain. Ho was extremely pnnnlar at the Spanish court. In that vc.il- liu relinquished his office and returned home. The Spanish government tendered liiin a valuable gift In gold. col. Humphreys declined it, but said thero was something ho would highly prize. Ho was asked to name it. Ho replied: "One hundred merino sheep." Tho request was unexpected. The law stood in tho way of its being granted. Tho govern ment got over tho difficulty in some way, nnd 100 sheep wero among the cargo of the vessel that landed tho ex-minister in Boston. Seventy ot them survived tho passage, and from that original stock, which were placed on the Humphreys farm at Derby, Conn., tho present royal breed of Vermont merinos sprang.

Typhoid fever is perhaps tho most preventable of all Infectious diseases and among physicians thero is a strong conviction that it is a disease that ought not to exist in a civilized community. Such thoughts regard ing things that aro inevitable and necessary aro neither reverential nor profitable, but Intelligently directed ell'oi'ts to diminish tho prevalence of typhoid lever have been followed by so largo a measure of success that wo aro justified in regarding it ns one of tlie unnecessary diseases. Speaking of its prevention, the linker City Itovcillo Kiys: "The prevention of typhoid fever must rest una knoweledgo of its cause or at least an acquaintance with the known laws in accordance with which the cause operates. Tho es sential cause of disease is gonerally supposed to be a minute germ, or microbe, which ! given oil' by the sick and may bo transmitted to the well In several ways. Tho germ is not thrown off through the breath or in the exhalation from thu skin, as many believe, and as is tho case in some other diseases, but, in this disease, it is contained in tho dis charges from the bowels and also from tho kidneys, honeo tho proper disposal of tho excreta Is a matter of the first and highest importance." Every Intelligent citizen should feel that he has himself to blame if a case of typhoid fever occurs in his family, because ho can usually prc vent it. If heads of families will protect themselves by creating a public opinion In favor of local boards of health with legal power to protect tho community tor which ttiey exist, typhoid fever uuu never bo oonio an opldemlu and Uolated cases will bo guarded and oarod for as aro victims of smallpox.
