A pamphlet just published by Professor Grimmer asserts that the period from 1880 to 1887 will heoue of universal carnivabof death every where except 011 this Coast. Asia will be depopulated, Europe nearly so, and America will lose fifteen mil lions of her people. Besides plagues we arc to have storms and tidal waves, mountains are to " toss their heads through the choicest valleys," navigators will bo lost by tli« thou sand, Diving to the capricious deduc tions of the magnetic needle, and islands will appear and disappear in mid ocean. And all the beasts, birds and fishes will he diseased, famine and civil strife will destroy most of the human beings left ulivo by the plngue, and finally " two years of tiro" —1885 to 1887—will rage with fury in every part of the 1 globe, in 1887 the " Star of Beth lehem" will " reappear in Cussiopa's chair," the immediate results being universal war and poitentious floods and shipwrecks. North America is again to bo involved in a civil war uuless a " Napoleon" arises to quell it, but during these terriblo days tho Pacific Coast States will bt, a veritable paradise of peace compared to the hellish 3trifc that will be waged throughout tho world. The few people that may tuanuge to sur vivo till 1888 will have reasou to be thankful. THIC PaorttiOOiuPH. The protilo graph is a new automatic device for tracing the profile of a road or dis tance. It consists esseulially of a two-wheeled carriage having sus pended from the body between the wheels a heavy peudulum, free to swing in u line with the direction in which the carriage movos. As the carriago is drawn by a horse over the ground, the pendulum maintains a vertical position whether moving on a level or up or down hill. The upper end of the pendulum, above the point of support, carries a pen- I cil that touches a ribbon of paper j moved by clockwork or by the move ment of the wheels of tlio carriage, and, as long as the carriago is mov ing makes a trace on the paper that is, as may be seen, a prolilo of the country uassed over by the machine. At the same time one of the wheels, by a simple pedometric device, gives the distance traversed and makes a scale for comparison with the pro file truce, to show the relations of the two measures of higlit and dis tance passed over by the machine. •Scribnrr'x Matjazim•. FEMALE BEAUTY. —In fact, female beauty is a rarity iu every other country in the world except this fa vored land. \Y r o leave out of ques tion the German, Russian, and Scan dinavian nations, for their beauty is almost a myth. Iu Italy there is a stately beauty of form and richness •of color among the peasants, accom panied by a stolid impassivoness; the vaunted beauties of Spain aro dumpy little women, witli sallow faces and no intelligence. In Vienna alone, of all the great cities iu Eu rope, boauty is as common among women as it is in St. Louis and Bal timore, and there the beauty comes from the Hungarians, across the river. In Paris there is a typo of femalo boauty, dainty, refined and exquisite, but fragile aud delicate as the hot-house exotic, which it re sembles, rather than tile blooming rosebud of an American cottage gar den.—<S7. Louis lli'jiubliriiii. Mermaids Sporting with Neptune VVllut a Reporter Saw In tile Xew York free Swimming llallis. A remarkably animated and pic turesque spectacle is presented at the free swimming bath at the Bat tery. It is " ladies' day," and be fore nine o'clock in the evening more than 5,000 women and girls bad gamboled in the brine of that marine liarem. " Some days we have fully 7,000 bathers," remarked Senora Fernandez, the superintendent in charge. Her assistant, Miss Harney, said that much cure was taken to keep out improper ehaeacters, and the athletic young- keeper of the Boys' Department explained iliat it was his lefusnl to admit disreputable youths that caused them to retaliate by making false charges that fees had been demanded. Senora Fern andez tapped the floor vigorously with the toe of her French hoot, and said that necessary rules must he observed and enforced. The city expected it, and discipline would ho preserved. No girl would he al lowed iu the water without a bathing suit, of some kind. As she spoke a fleshy woman of generous avoirdu pois deposited a gold watch and about SSO worth of jewel cry for safe keepiug. " You see wo have patrons from the best, classes. They pass hv idl the other baths and come down here. The water is purer, hut it costs them twenty cents to come because of the L railway fares, which they could avoid by bathing nearer home. They like the water, and the hath is popular. It isstrange that they bring their jewelry and knitting and valises. One would think they wore going to tho coun try to spend the summer." " But how do you keep the girls from coming right iu again after they have gone out?" "Oh, that is easy enough. We don't feel of their noses, us is done when the boys bathe. We try their lips; if they are cold we know they have been here within two hours. Swimming makes hoys' noses and girls' lips very cold." Just then a dainty and rosy cheeked luss cams walking down the gangway with an unconscious innocence calcu lated to deceive Adam and ull the serpeuts iu tho garden of Eden. " Como here, my dear; how are you to-day?" said Senora Feruaudez, saluting her with u kiss thut would hnve destroyed tue discipline of a man-of-war. " I am pretty well, thank you," responded four feet ton inches of " sweet sixteen." " Well, that is nice; I am glad to bear it; but your lips are cold aud you linve been hero before to-day, so run home to your muinma and come back to-iuorrow." What a transformation there was in that profile of girlish loveliness! It turned black, red, purple, grow ing moro beautiful all the time. Then a scowl, a quiver and a pie- Ruphnelite thunderbolt tore up the scenery of her lovely mask, and her classic lips parted only wide enough for one to hear them say, with com manding firmness:— "You nasty thiug! You think you are smart, don't you, now ? Supposin' 1 have been iu a do/ou times a day, do not I want to wash and be clean? What is the bath for anyway? What does pupa pay taxes lor? Do you know? I won't go in now, nohow. You couldn't hire me to swim in your greasy old tub. I've got a feller what licked Y'onkers Bill on the Fourth of July, aud I'll send him to whale the life out of your feller if you've got one. Don't you speak to me. Don't you dare open your mouth to mo, after heap ing insults on a poor, unprotected working girl that has to slave for a living aud has no time to go to New port for a wash." There are several other remarks concluding the conversation, and the carnation lipped maiden from Do la ueey street walked up the gaug plank with the niajesy of an insulted heiress. Seuora smiled. " Wo never have any trouble here —no tights, no hair pulling nor dragging out—only the hot blooded young misses express themselves rather freely sometimes, but they always get over it. She will come back to-morrow in a nice muslin dress, smiling as sweetly us a June morning." The fashionable hour had now ar rived and bathers came swarming in by the dozens. The reporter took several sly peeps, and others that wero not so sly at the panorama in the bath. The entire aroa of water ' tvusalivo with youth, beauty, old age, j gray hairs, 300 pound women, little OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TERRITORY. FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1880. 10-pound children, slender and sylphlike Calopsus, Oriental eyed Hebrews from Lexington avenue all mingling with their anatomy togeth er in ever chauge of poetry —alive and kicking and swimming iu a glo rious healthy way that would make a doctor sick for a month. The re porter was introduced to some of the moro venerable visitors and were surprised to learu that they were good swimmers. Miss Harney said that more than three-fourths of those who come could swim and some of them were really expert. Near the center of tho hath the sight was in teresting and life giviug. A " kid" not more than six years old was splashing around on its mother's breast. She was swimming on her hack and her strokes W6re powerful enough to put an end lo all diseus sion with arefactory husband. " She weighs *275 pounds," re marked Senora Fernandez. Near the fleshy liuly swam a little jointed, gray haired woman, with spectacles lashed ou her nose. She propelled herself with the genuine frog stroke and at times put iu some fancy work to show the young peo ple what an old lady could do. Some of the poor girls wore only a sott of skeleton chemise, and it made one sympathize with them in their pover ty. Among these sheeted ghosts wero misses iu tights and rich women in embroidered skin-tight suits of the latest Cape May patterns. One of tbe best divers stayed under three minutes. She was absent so long that Senora suggested she had gone to Coney Island to return by the boat. A group of girls standiug by one of the dressing rooms spoke of a presidential candidate as living so uear the water that his nose was al ways cold, and therefore the keeper wouldn't admit him on men's day. One woman who came had hard work to find a suit large enough for her body. At last, one was found so ex pansive that it took the policeman's breath away, who was standing by. It just titled her, and measured two yards in circumference, or two feet in diameter. The airy creature robed herself as if for a feast and then deliberately jumped into the water, making ibe bath fconso trem ble to its centre, and every lime she kicked she disturbed the water as if a whale were interviewing an iceberg without a lantern. JUDGE BLACK TO GEN. HANCOCK.— When Gen. Hancock's Order Num ber 40 was made public, the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black wrote him the subjoined letter: WASHINGTON, NOV. 30, 1867. MY DEAR GENERAL: —This moment 1 read your admirable order. lam much engaged, but I cannot resist the temptation to steal time enough from ray clients to tell you how grateful you have made me by your patriotic and noble behavior. Yours is the first most distinct and most emphatic recognition which the principle of American liberty has received at the hands of any high officer in a Southern command. It has the very ring of the Revolution ary metal. Washington never said a thing in better taste or better time. It will prove to all men that " Peace hath her victories not less renowned thau thobe of war." I congratulate you, not because it will make you the most popular man in America, for I dare say you cure nothing about that, but because it will give you through all time the solid repu tation of a true patriot and a sincere lover of your country, its laws and its government. This, added to your brilliant achievements as a soldier, will leave you without a rival in the affections of all whose good will is worth having, and give you a place in history which your children will bo proud of. This acknowledgement from me does not amount to much, but I am only expressing tho fecliugs of mil lions and expressing them feebly at that. With profound respect, yours, J. S. BLACK Sowi: of the cigarettes which are smoked to so large an extent are said to be dangerous articles. A physician had one of them analyzed, and the tobacco was found to be strongly impregnated with opium, while wrapper, which was warxauted to be rice paper, was proved to be the most ordinary quality of white paper, whitened with arsenic, the two pois ons combined being presented in sufficient quantities to create in the smoker the habit of using opium, without being awaro of it, and which craviug can only bo satisfied by an incessant use of cigarettes. A Veritable Monstrosity. The Wild Man of tli* Woodi found In tlie forfntu of Orrgon. Vindicator, Long years ago, when the first settlers came to Oregon, there were stories told to new-comers of the ex istence of a monster that had been seen in the wilds of the Coast range. He wandered over every part of the vaste domain between the mouth of Rogue river and the Columbia, going as far east us the Willamette river and the boundless ocean on the west. When the people began to settle the rich fields and vales of this part this monster went deeper nnd deeper into tho wilderness, and was only seen at long intervals as some venturesome hunter would suddenly come across him in the mighty jungle of forests that covered his vast range. His appearance, frightful in the extreme, would so inspire his beholder with terror that in'his fear he would make all haste to leave that spot of horror with only an indistinct remembrance of the vision he had beheld of the greatest monster on earth. His story told by the campfire on his re turn to his comrades would only be hooted at, and he would retire amid their derision for being such a cow ard. THIS FEAUFCL FIEND Would sometimes venture near the settlements, and in the night would commit some depredation that would bring out the hunters and their dogs for a chase, but after several hours the hounds would come back drag ging their tails in terror and slink crouching to theii masters' feet.. For years this demon monarch held his sway of the forest, and his fame. grew from the north and south, from east to west, and mauy would start out to meet and conquer him. Some came buck regarding him as a myth, others with fear written over each lineament of their features, and oth ers went out and never returned. Those who had seen him were un manned forever, and their skill as hunters gone; nor could they ever be induced to go beyond the settlements again to seek the bear or elk for fear of an encounter with this inhuman monster. It was reserved for a party of tourists and hunters from Califor nia to meet bim face to face, and to them we are indebted for the tale of their adventure. Two weeks ago a party of four, renowned as mighty hunters of the grizzly in the Sierras, came ashore from the Oregon ami took the boat for Nehalem valley. Intent upon being the first to tread many portions of this wild country they went on and on deep into the wilderness. One day last week, when far from the mighty Columbia, they SENT OUT THEIR DOGS To chase the game, and each took a stand by a " run." One, more full of curiosity aud adventure than the rest, began to look around, and soon he saw in the soft mud near the spring the prints of a monster foot; but one track was visible, but its size, its resemblance to a human foot mnde hiiu start back in horror and clench his trusty gun as be held his bated breath. He remembered the stories he had heard, and called his companions and hounds around him they decided to give the monster chase, nor rest until he had been brought to bay. The track in the mud was shown the dogs, and soon their deep baying betokened that they had found their quarry.. On through the tangled woods rushed the men, and soon they were face to face with the horrible form that had haunted this place for years. Of giaut height, with hair falling in grizzled locks, his arms of the size of saplings, and covered with a coarse red hair all over his body, he stood facing tho men with an expression of hate and ferocity. His teeth were set, and two long tusks on each side showed that a life would be of little worth to anything into which they might be set, and with a sweep of his long arm one of the baying hounds was caught up and those fearful tusks sent crushing through it 3 quivering brain. The men stood AWEL) WITH HORROR. The remaining dogs, seeing the fate of their comrade, drew back, and this horiible figure, throwing the dog from him, moved away, and then they saw what they had not no ticed before—that one foot was back ward and the other forward, and that he could run one way as well as the other. Fleet of foot, he could dodge first one way and then the other, and springing by the mighty trees of the forest, ho was soon lost to view. His track wus measured and found to he twenty-seven inches in length. His height was estimated by measur ing a small tree near which he stood, and found to be eleven feet and five inches. His terrible eyes and fero cious teeth, that grinning mouth and the swelling muscles of his body so inspired the hunters with a whole some fear that they returned to the city, and on last Wednesday morn ing returned to their own State, con teut to hunt the grizzly and moun tain sheep amid the hills and rocks of the Sierra Nevadas. „ The Nachess Pass. Tacoma Ledger. After a careful instrumental sur vey of this pass from Wilkeaon, the practicab lily of constructing a rail road on the line was placed beyond cavil, not only this, but it has been proven to the best route for a rail road ever found any wbero over moun tains of a similar altitude, there be ing an entire absence of chasm or abrupt elevations at any point; neith er is there any evidence of snow slides ever having occurred on any portion of the ground usually covered with snow. For the above reasons and others intimately connected with the traffic and developement efEastern Washington, the route has been chosen. The task of locating the road will be carried forward by Colonel Isaac Smith and his assist ants, Messrs. Sheets, White, Whit field and Bogue—each one of whom will probably be in charge of • party of men—with the greatest possible dispatch that accuracy will permit. Mr. White, upon his return from the Yakima country, will be put in charge of another section, and Mr. Bogue still another, after completing his ex ploration of Snoqualmie gap. As it will require fully two months to per form the work of location, not a day is to be lost in attacking it iu full force. The benefit that will accrue to both sections of Washington by building tbe road to Puget Sound is of great magnitude, and it is quite safe to predict that when the loca tion shall faave been completed the order will come to commence its construction atfonce. AT the Cincinnati Convention there were delegates in favor of Hendricks, others for Thurman, others for Fieid, others for Bayard, etc., but all were for harmony; and the man who did not favor harmony and united action in this canvass was out in the cold in an instant. When Hancock's name was mentioned the enthusiasm was great. When he was nominated it was unbounded, and it spread over the city at once. Then Tammany and anti-Tammany came together and shook bands; and the Randall and Wallace factions followed and united. There was harmony and gratification. There was confidence of success for that hour. The same spirit has spread fret the country. The old Democrats and the young— the friends of economy and honeßt government have united and the prospects of a sweeping victory aie brilliant. Those who do not come in harmoniously will he left out in the cold. This is no year for fac tions or contentions. Straight work for the UNION party, or go over to the enemy—for the Democracy will tol erate no traitors in 1880—it will be a campaign and a. result of the AN DREW JACKSON order, this time. SOME of the Republican papers are publishing a speeoh delivered in 1876 in Indiana, by Colonel Bob Xn gersoll, in which he lavished unrea sonable praises upon the Republicans and hurled unreasonable epithets and denunciations at the Democratic party. He claimed that all of the seceding States were Democratic, when, had he consulted truth rather than imagination, he would have found that for a long series of years the Whig party carried a good part of the slave States against the Dem ocrats — among them Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, Louisiana, Georgia, North Carolina, etc. Mr. Bob. Ingersoll, in switching off from infidel to Republican lectures, should Eay some regard to facts; and when e says the Republicans did all that was done in the war of the Union side, he could find by truthful exam ination that there were as many Dem ocrats as Republicans in the Union armies, and just about as many old liue Whigs as Democrats in the Southern armies. Bobby is more fanciful than truthful in his lectures. HARD workers are usually honest. Industry lifts tbeui above tempta tion. TRUE merit is like u river, the deeper it is the less noise it makes.
