A very pretty little story which promise*
to develop into aa in tweeting trial cornea
from Alaska. It is to the effect that shoot
three yean age a mam named McPherson
sailed from Ban Francisco and eventually
landed on one of the Aleutian blende off
the coeat of Aloeka. Mr. McPherson’s
entire outfit consisted of a suit of clothes,
aa American flag and cheek enough foe •
regiment, together with a paper purport
ing to have been signed by Attorney-Gee
era! Garland appointing him United States
commissioner. As soon as ha landed on
the island he raised the American flag
with a great deal of ceremony and took
command of GOO natives and compelled
them to address him aa “ King McPher
son/’ Each season he exacted n heavy
tribute from the natives, and altogether
he seems to have bean having a lovely
time- Things went along very smoothly
until a lew months ago. whan, tb* report
fo, he had some trouble with three of hie
subjects, and fearing there might be mu
tiny he banged the three rebellious ones.
The report of McPherson's rule reached
the treasury department and a special
agant waa sent to hia island to investigate.
Thia agent recently reported the facto to
Becretary Windom substantially as they
are given abort. Now it is said that a
revenue cutter will be sent to the island
tor the purpose of arresting McPherson.
It ia the intention of the authorities to
take him to Bon Francisco and try him
for murder.

Then hu been a great affluence of por
traits of Georg* Washington lately In coo
nection with th* centenary of the first
president's inauguration end the publica
tlon of the Sharpie* papers, end the re
flection cannot be escaped that if so many
unfamiliar portrait* insist upon coming
out and being authenticated, one by one.
as accurate likeneesea of the Father of bis
Country, the people will presently be all
at aea aa to how he really looked. The
Btoart portrait has been so long accepted
as tfu Washington that whan other por
traits, showing almost a totally different
man, turn up, we simply look at them in
astonishment, and say to ourselves, “Can
t*u be Washington!”
In view oI this confusion no apology is
needed for copying a remarkably realistic
account of Washington, which was writ
ten by David Ackerson, of Alexandria,
Va., in 1811, in answer to an inquiry from
his son. Ackerson commanded a com
pany in the revolutionary war, and he
had nymy opportunities of observing the
commander-in-chief. The letter from
which this account is taken is in the pos
session of Dr. Joseph M. Toner, of Wash
ington. D. C., who is engaged in editing
Washington’s diaries, and a correspondent
of the New York Tribun« haa got hold of
it. It describee Washington as be looked
three days before the crossing of the Dele
ware, and again pictures him in the dos
ing vears of hm life.
"Washington had a large, thick nose,
and it was very red that day, giving me
the impression that he was not so moder
ate la the use of liquors es be was sup
poased to be. I found afterward that thia
was e peculiarity. His none was apt to
tuna scarlet in a cold wind. He was
Standing near a small camp-fire, evi
dently losi in l bought and making no ef
fort to keep warm. He seemed six feet
and a half in height, was as erect as an
Indian, and did not for a moment relax
from a military attitude. Washington’s
exact height was 6 feet two inches in bis
hosts. Hs was then n little lame from
striking bis knee against the tree. His
eye was so gray that it looked almost
white, and be bad a troubled look on hia
colorless face. He had a piece of woolen
tied around his throat and waa quite
hoarse. Perhaps the throat trouble from
which he finally died had Its origin about
than. Washington's boots ware enor
mous. They were No. 13. Hia ordinary
walking shoes wars No. 11. Hia hands
were large ia proportion, and be coaid
not bay gloves to fit him and had to have
them made to order. Hia mouth waa
hia strong feature, the Upe being always
tightly compressed. That day they were
compressed so tightly as to be painful to
look at him. At that time he weighed
200 pounds, and there waa no surplus
flesh about him. He waa tremendously
muscled, and the fame of hia great
strength was everywhere. His large tent
when wrapped up with the poles waa so
heavy that it required two men to place it
la the wagon. Washington would lift it
with one hand and throw it in the wagon
as easily.as If it wars a pair of saddle
bags. Hs could bold a musket with on#
hand find shoot with precision as easily
as other men did with a hora>pistol. Hia
lungfe were his weak point and his voice
was never strong. Hs waa at that time
in the prime of life. His hair was a
chestnut brown; hfo cheeks wars promi
nent, and bis bead was not large in con
trast to every other part of hia body,
which teemed large and bony at all
points. Hia finger joints and wrists were
•o large aa te be genuine curiosities. As
to his habits at that pariod.l found out
mnch that might be Interesting. He waa
aa enormous eater but was content with
bread and meat, if ha had plenty of it.
But hung**’ seemed to put him in a rage.
It waa hia custom to take a drink of rum
or whisky on awakening in the morning.
Of course all thia waa -changed when he
grew old. I saw him at Alexandria a
year before he died. Hia hair waa very
gray end his form was slightly bent. His
cheat was very thin. He had labs teeth
which did not fit and pushed his under
lip outward.

The Spokane fUvitw says: "Should it

advantage to Spokane Falls would be found
in the (art that it would connect this city
with the large agricultural and grazing
country comprised in the southern por
tion of the Big Bend and which ia not
traversed by either of the roads lending
1 out of this city. Following down the val
ley of Crab creek toward Priest rapid* it
would paaa through a long stretch of vir
gin soil, a considerable portion of which
is said to be good (arming land, and which
would all hs directly tributary to the pro
posed road either in this direction or the
other and largely in both."

The Hon. Tom Cavanaugh, like his

the next surveyor general of thia territory.
No one is beitsr qualified, perhaps, for the
position—undar a republican administra
tion. Mr. Cavanaugh is a link in the
chain that hinds the present to the peat,
and as one of the reminiscences of the
old and bow nearly obsolete regime would
perhaps illuminate the niche to which he
aspires to climb ae well as any of the other
grand old party war homes. Here’s a

'“The amount of cheek displayed by
some people is astonishing, M said a promi
nent merchant to the Hkbald’s reporter
this morning. ” That la not a very strange
assertion’* mused our pend! driver as he
vaioly strove to look unconcerned, but the
tell-tale Mood mounted rapidly into hie
fine, expressive face, played hide and seek
with the roots of bis hair, dyed his nose
a bright ruby color, and caused his shell
like ears to look like a pair of liver pads.
The merchant noticed his embarrassment
and added, ” 1 do not refer to that partic
ular brand of cheek which is now regarded
as a distinguishing mark of your profes
sion. The public good requires that every
newspaper man ahoold have a cast iron
facial development. In fact, a reporter
can never make his mark without It. Stern
duty compels him to walk where angels
fear to trend. Xt is hie doty to heard the
lion in his den; to examine the hind hoof
of a quadruped called the ass; to come
unbidden to the marriage feast; to guess
a maiden lady’s age; to intrude upon the
sacred privacy of the family circle ; to
root the millionaire or railroad king out
of bed at 2 r. a.; to go where be isn’t
wanted and to remain there until be gets
kicked out; to interview his victim at all
times and place*; if admittance be re
fused at the doer to crawl in at the win*
dow, climb down the chimney or peak
through the keyhole; to tackle a Judge on
his bench or n raUrrnd mogul in bto sanc

hatred with s calm, sweet smile of assur
ance; to press in where almost any man
under the heavens would be kicked out in
an instant; to-
“ Beg pardon,” said our scribe, 44 but
you are illgrtaring from tbe subject.”
“ Well,” said tbe merchant, “to come

In the rammer time tb« regular drinker
Abandons, or at least ruts down on, his
whisky and beer and takes to those lighter
beverages, such as lemonades, mineral
waters, punches and buttermilk. prefer
ring not to risk his life so long as old Sol
continues to hold undisputed sway. It
may now be of interest to know some
thing of the character and composition of
the temperance beverages, and in this
brief sketch a notice will be made of a
few of them. The basis of all popular
effervescent drinks is carbonated soda, or
water strongly impregnated with carbonic
acid gaa. It is well known that this is a
poisonous gas. It is the heaviest of all
gaaea. and it is to be found in sewers,
wells and shafts. It begets the fire-damp
in the coal mine, and enough of it may
be eliminated by heat from a small piece
of charcoal to furniah.tba means of suicide
to any weary of life. The email quantity
of this gas which enters into soda water,
seitier or champagne, instead of being
injurious is considered beneficial. Keid-
HU powders, effervescent salts, sparkling
wines and bottled ales owe their foaming
qualities to its presence. Domestic still
wines are sometimes carbonated by artifi
cial means and sold for sparkling chain
pagnes.
BODA-WATKB.
The beverage popularly known as soda
water is so-called because it was formerly
made from bicarbonate of soda, or baking
soda ; and in the east bicarbonate of eoda
is still largely employed, the manufactur
ers claiming that no cheaper ingredient
can be furnished that can so well serve
their purpoee. It is raid the basis of all
fermented beverages now manufactured
is mostly made from sulphuric acid and
ground limestone, and not "marbledust,”
as ia generally supposed. It ia ground to
the consistency of flour in a powerful
steam mill and passed through a sieve;
the floor it is ground the greater the quan
tity of gas that will be produced. By the
time it ia well screened it is almost pure
carbonate of lime, and ia then poured into
an air-tight metallic vessel, denominated
a generator, and saturated with sulphuric
acid. By the union of the gee and lime
the sulphate gypsum is formed and the
carbonic acid is eliminated. Afterward
the sulphate of gypsum is blown out of
the generator, the gas is passed through
the pipes to another vessel, when it is
passed through the water, for the purpose
of freeing it of the presence of oil of vitriol
or any other noxious gas. From the gas
ometer the gas is passed into portable
fountains containing filtered water; for it
is known that at a low temperature will
absorb its own volume of carbonic add
gas, and the colder the water the more
gas It will absorb. This is the reason
why portable fountains are always kept
in cool cellars.
BOTTLES WATBBS.
It la stated upon good authority that of
the bottled beverages, none of them are
what they profsaa to he. There la no sar
saparilla in "sarsaparilla,” no ginger in
"ginger alt.” nothing of a mineral char
acter in "mineral water.” and aeltaer has
nothing appertaining to the real seller or
saltern waters in its composition—except
water. Ottawa beer la usually made with
sugar, anakeroot end aromatics, which
will acetify soon after the beer is manu
factured. It should be made fresh every
day, but it is said it Is not. The carbonic
add gas will disguise the bad taste of
stale Ottawa brer until it has been swal
lowed, but soon internal disturbance takes
place. Nearly all mineral water is ascer
atad water, flavored with syrups. Much
of the ginger ale is ascended water flavored
with Cayenne pepper. It is held that
Cayenne pepper hi small quantities is
rather beneficial than otherwise, and it
make* really a healthy beverage as com
pared with other*.
should be made with lemons, ginger,
sugar and tartaric add. Beltser water is
•imply carbonated water flavored with
Bella. 1b the palate It is not very pleas
ant. Xt baa quite an influence upon the
bowels, and le often need by those who
have imbibed 100 freely of Intoxicants for
the purpose of neutralising the effects of
the liquors. None of the drinks referred
to are injurious if their gasses have been
made in wholesome fountains. Nearly all
flret-dnm ifruggiefe manufacture their own
flavoring eyrupe, and many who do not,
purchase the imported French fruit es
sences. These come in bottles containing
•bout a pint and a hall, and retail at
about 76 cents. The essences are obtained
bv expressing the fruit and concentrating
the Juice cold. Once opened it will fer
ment in tbe bottle, unices sweetened and
used in a short time. A bottle of fruit es
sence will serve to make several bottles of
flavor. It is said tbe American straw ber
riea and raspberries do not make as fine a
quality of essence as tbe European fruits;
pine-apple and other fruit essences of do
mestic manufacture are equal to the same
varieties of imported essences.

h He Itcafe
The decade from 1880 to 1890 will pass
into history as associated with greater
material progress than any other in mod
ern times. The use of electricity as a
motor and illuminating agent has been a
demonstrated success in the last decade.
It has been introduced in nearly all the
great citiee of the world. Ten years ago
the use of electricity, both for illumina
tion and as a motor, was in the experi
mental stage. Its larger use may be still
experimental. It has not yet come into
general use in dwellings, nor has it been
employed to any great extent in moving
ships and railway trains. It has not taken
the place of other motors to any great ex
tent for propelling street cars. But if its
use ia enlarged in the same ratio for an
other decade, at the end of that period it
will become of almost universal applica
tion for small motors and tor illumina
tion. This larger use will, of course, de
pend upon a large reduction ia the cost.
Ten years ago there were no known farts
to warrant the prediction that electricity
would be used in driving a great deal of
machinery. The power was recognised,
but the economy of use was not.
It wan during the decade cloaing with
the preeent year that the Meet rail lor
tailwaye came into nnireraal uee. The
Iron rail haa had Ha day. On BOBUS abort
roads a few tone of iron rails may belaid,
and, la a limited way, old iron rails may
be re-rolled, but the steel track has taken
the place of the iron one. Luring thia

It has also entered into the conMroetioo

The science of gunnery haa been revo

The rule so long recognised by nations
the! each should have Jurisdiction over
the seas marina league, or three miles,
from the land was determined in that way
because three miles was about the old
range of cannon. Each nation conld
make good its dominion on the water
within the range of a cannon shot. But
the longest range of cannon reported dur
ing the present decade ia thirteen miles.
Will this Improvement in the range of
great guns modify the law of nations
touching the exclusive Jurisdlctloo over
adjacent waters?

Eorros Huuu>- Sir: 1 crave space in
your valuable paper for a medley.
When Galileo discovered that tkia
planet of oars was round all of the world’s
people then known clamored for his life,
or at least to hare him thrown in prison.
To this cry be answered: You can Im
prison ray body, but you cannot Imprison
my mind. 1 will continue my thinking,
and give to mankind my thoughts aa I
receive them, and in this 1 will he justi
fied in the future, and I hope other men
in other times wiU do likewise.
How generous and unselfish the lan
guage of thia great man; and even in thia
poahing and —age hie philanthropy
thrills the semes of all.
I have gotten into a thinking mood on
a small scale, as I suppose it is natural
for the children of a common parentage
to think—some for good and some for
evil—and it occurs to me that those who
could enlighten and elevate their follow
men, in this day, keep as at ill as a clam
in high water. . Shakespeare said: “Men
put into their mouths that which stealeth
away their brains.” Those who are am
ply endowed with intelligence nowadays
have their brains not stolen, but blunted
and calloused, and the beat Instincts of
their nature stolen through their breeches
pockets. Urey keep their thoughts to
themselves, ia fear of losing that cursed
dollar, and knowingly commit a moral
wrong on their fellow men. Still %.. per
sist in calling this an age of progression.
In what is H progressive? If you say this
nineteenth century is progressive in an
inventive sense you are right. Borne will
say that we are better educated and more
intelligent, which is also right, but 1 have
been musing how we have been progress
ing in selfishness and in a spirit of aggran
disement towards each other, not forget
ting our mortgages and our usury tactics.
Is this the way that we are progressing?
Is it not more like retrograding? It seems
so to me. U we wish to he right in a
natural sense, and be truly progressive,
we must take up the laws of Moses, or
what are nearest them, the old Celtic
clan laws, dropping the bandit baron
clauses maintained in the middle ages,
but which still linger to a degree, and
which are a curse on man to the present
day. If we simplify our laws ia this
great land, we can be as progressive as
the heart can wish.
1 have been thinking alao how acme
people eay that the pioneara of new conn
tjiea an a greedy, monopoliatic crowd,
la thia generous? le H just to call a poor
pioneer a monopolist? He that hae taken
np the lamp of cirillaatioa and advanced
to the privatlona of frontier Hie, nhile
the man oho lollowa the pioneer with hie
college acrip or shlnplaatets boye thon
aanda of acne of our heat land tor a aong
to hold for a fancy price to be wrong from
the homeworker. Not a word la raid
about the former being a monopoltat, but
the advance guard la called greedy lor
bolding on to MO acne with which to
eopport himself and hie children.
I think I base heard some one my that
the early settlers should divide their farms
Ink ten acre tracts. I have debated on
selling all my land except lan sens, but
in figuring on the problem I asked myself
some pertinent questions. How much
land would I have tor cultivation after
taking off room for house. Btablss, door
yard, etc., and bow many hae horses end
fancy cattle and chickens could I raise?
Well, my dear air, after mycb figuring I
gave it up in disgust and concluded 1 was
rather dull of comprehension. Than I
tried again, taking a different tact, aad
thought how nice and pleasant it would
be la shake hands every morning with
my neighbors over the fanes, aad how
snug and compact wa all could he wedged
In like Sardinia in a box, but than the
thought of the tnandal outcome of this
mode of farming would obtrude itself.
You see, 1 have does my bast to convince
myself that the advice given by seme peo
ple la not for the purpose of furthering
their own selfish tarda, but cannot.
I bn vs gotten into my numbskull lot
the second time the law af limes, end
hi thinking about law, Justice aad
equity, I have concluded that the law of
Moamwm the stoat Just ever framed for
the guidance of maa. All the gifts of
nature were common property than ac
cording to that law, but nowadays we
bam every one of thorn natural guts on
farm, hard farm, aad truly thorn facts an
d ollars and cants. The land Is mine,
ssyelh the Lord; but who thinks or acts
according to the laws of Ood? Echo will
answer: None of ns do- Again, I was
thinking that if one man steal a dollar
outside of the robber baron law he is pun
ished severely, while another sum may
steal fifty thousand dollars inside this man
law and b« is called a gentleman. What
• farce this Ist I seed to be tnjehanfc
enough to pat things together, fel I ac
knowledge I eennot make thoaa two facta
St, nor even make a rough joint of them.
