CONTRIBUTORY negligence.
The details of the terrible rail-
road wreck and disaster at Repub-
lic, Ohio, on January 4, when so
mmy persons met a cruel death,
are fresh in the public mind. The
coroner's jury organized to inquire
into the disaster recently conclu-
ded its work, and the verdict is one
calculated to mako railroad offi-
cials all over the country open
their eyes. Tho jury declare that
the wreck was due solely to ''gross
negligence on the part of the
owners, managers and officials of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, for using on the express
train inferior and ineffective
brakes, also for using an improper,
dangerous and unlawful manner of
lighting and heating the cars of
said express." Appended to the
report is this pre<rn«nt sentence:
"It would seem that Mich negli-
gence as resulted in such a great
loss of life could not be other than
criminal, but there are no laws in
Ohio making such negligence a
crime, and no laws under which
such persons can be charged with
crime." Tliis is the gi>t ot the re-
port—the contributory crime and
nogligence of the railroad officials
who, by failing to equip their
trains properly, aro in reality as
much responsible for the suffering
and loss of life as though they had
murdered tho unfortunates who
perished in the wreck. In England
such a verdict would bring the
railway managers to the bar of
justice to answer a charge of man-
slaughter, not to mention pecuni-
ary damages for the heirs of those
killed. In this country tho only
recourse is a suit for money dam-
ages. It is not conceivable that
railway managers will wantonly
neglect precautions which they
know roust involve the lives and
personal safet}7 of people who use
their roads, but it is concoivable
that there is too much careless
negligence in such matters, and a
few more such harrowing accidents
as the one at Republic will have a
tondency to set legislatures to
work amending tho laws so that
this contributory negligence Bhall
call for other and more severe pen-
alties than the mere paymont of a
sum ot money for a Hie that is lost
thereby.—Fort Worth Gazette.
Hon. David Davis tells the froz-
en truth when he says: "Bach
year every local paper gives from
$100 to $6,000 in free lines for the
benefit of the community in which
it is located. No otheragency can
or will do this. The local editor,
in proportion to his means, does
more for his town than any other
ten men, and m all fairness, man
with man, ho ought to be support-
ed, not because you happen to like
him or admire his writing, but be-
cause a local paper is the best in-
vestment a community can make.
It may not be brilliant or crowded
with great thoughts, but financially
it is more of a benefit to a commun-
ity than a preacher or a teacher.
Understand os now, we do not
mean morally, but financially, and
yet on the moral question you will
find the majority of the local pa-
pers on the right side of the ques-
tion. To-day the editors of looal
papers do the most work for the
least money of any men on oarth.
Subscribe for your local paper, not
as a charity, but as an investment."

OREQON'B mountain lakes.
Beautiful takes are found at or
near the head ot nearly every
stream which has its source in the
Cascade mountains. Of such Mar-
ion lake, near Minto pass, is one
of the largest and most charming,
though it is not more than two and
a half miles long and is scarcely a
mile wido at the widest place. It
is evident!} tho filling up of the
cavity of an immense cruter, the
depth varying from sedgy shallows
at the upper end to eighty or more
feet at the lower end. "The echo
which springs from its home ir. tho
rock" at a noise made near the
middle of the lake is remarkably
fine. There is a round reddish
looking butte which stands on the
summit ridge about three miles
east of the lake, from the top of
which, in September, 1884, Hon.
John Bryant, of Linn county,
makes his journal read thus:
"From this butte we can see four-
teen lakes, eleven on the west side
ot the summit and three on the
east.
There are no fish in Marion lake,
as there are 110 less than three cas-
cades between Independence Val-
ley and the lake (a distance of
seven miles,) either one of which
is an effective barrier against the
ascent ot fish. The first falls, about
three miles up the Marion from In-
dependence valley, is about forty
feet ot a clear cataract. It is call-
ed (iate'n Falls, in honor of Profes-
sor T. M. (xatch. The second fall
is about thirty leet at one leap.
The third is Marion falls. It starts
from a precipice some mile or so
below and at three bounds falls
200 to 250 feet; after which it
plunges on down, giving the be-
holder a sight of falling water of
every conceivable shape, getting
down some five to seven hundred
feet in a quarter of a milo. In 1854
Mr. Bryant stood at tbe top of the
falls and wrote in his journal:
"Hero the river plunges into one
of the most tremendous canyons in
these mountains, I estimate it to
fall 500 feet in a quartor of a mile."
The estimate is moderate.
To drill a hole through the ridge
on the level ot Marion lake, in the
direction of Black Butte, you
would come out under pretty little
Lake Wasco, which, like Marion,
has no fish, I believe, probably for
tbe same reason. But proceeding
onward till we get down to the
Matolias valley, you are in tho vi-
cinity of Blue lake, and others that
are so retiring intheirpmo shaded
seclusion that they are as yet name-
less. Some of these, though of
limited surface area, are very deep
and abound with fish, which I am
informed aro very peculiar in their
feeding habits, as on some days no
bait will tempt then), while on
others they take at most anything.
On tbe mountainside of tho divide,
judging irom the statements and
catch of "the boys " the fish bite
well. There are at least three
varieties of trout; the small white
fleshed brook trout; the larger
sized which seems a distinct varie-
ty, also white fleshed fish called
the "red sided," from its outward
color. I have not seen the salmon
proper, and a large fish which
those who have good opportunities
of knowing say does not go to sea,
but winters in the deepest holes ot
these mountain streams. These
are evidently of the salmon kind,
I, therefore, suppose them to bo
a variety of land-locked salmon.—

A RemarkAble Sal»Be«.t,
One of the most remarkable
salt formations in the world is lo-
cated on the isle of Petit Ansa,
Southwestern Louisiana, 125 miles
due west from New Orleans. It is
owned by tho Avery family. This
singular salt deposit is sufficiently
unknown to bear the light of a
more thorough investigation than
it has bad. So far as it has been
traced, there are 150 acres ot un-
known depth, explored 140 feet
down. Tho surface of the bed na-
dulalcs from ono foot above to six
below tide level. The earth cov-
ering the salt ranges from ten to
twenty-ihree feet in depth, but one
hill rises 180 feet above, showing
that an after tormatiou took place.
On the top of the salt, boneath the
earth, have been found the re-
mains of the mastadon, mammoth
sloth, horse, tusks and bones inter-
mixed with Indian relics, such as
arrows and spear points, toma-
hawk head*, paint pots, mortar and
pestle, and pottery of all kinds.
Over the salt come pink and yel-
low clay beds, then tho sandstone
and then the salt, each stratum
tending toward the north. There
aro also sulphur springs. Tho salt
is a conglomerate mass of crystali-
zations, which in the mine look
like dark salt, but when exposed
to the light aro seen to be white.
By analyses tho salt is 99 7-8 per
cent. pure. The position of the
salt shows it to be older than the
coal and sandstone which lie above
it, and also the mastadom and con-
temporary prehistoric mammals.
The deposit was discovered in
1862 while a well was being exca-
vated. It was seized by Jefferson
Davis and afterward by Admiral
Farragut. It is now worked by a
New York concern, which pays
the Avery's $5,000 per month roy-
alty. To show th6 value of land
here, it may bo stated that a sin-
gle acre, on which grow little pep-
pers, yields a clear profit ot $10,-
000 per year on the well-known
Tobasco table sauce.—American
Naturalist.
