Townsend and the west side of the
Sound are really in earnest to the
extent of giving a liberal subsidy, the
Port Townsend Southern will be
placed very soon on the high road to

The Olympia Standard has he
come rampant politically since its
publisher got an olfice. It says that
the people should elect to congress
a. democrat in sympathy with t‘ie‘ad

what they have been telling us every
time as an inducement to vote for
Voorhees—but not results hava

President Cleveland has found

wires for reuomination to vetu'a
meritorious relief bill for Daniel N.
Bash, paymaster in the U. S. army.
Mr. Bash Was robbed last year oi
$7,350, government money. while in
the discharge of his ofiieial duty. The
relief bill was to exonerate him from
liability. It was carefully inquired
into by both houses of congress. am!
passed by both. The president, in
his superior wisdom, however. inter»
poses his brief authority to \vork
financial hardship on a faithful and
eflicient army ofiicer, in the latter‘.‘

president doesn’t like the army. and
he can’t help showing his antipathy.
Paymaster Bash is a brother of Ship

Mr. Conkling's quarrel with Mr.
Blaine, arming from personalities
used in debate in the house in 186-5,
has exercised remarkable influence
upon the fortune-1 of the two men
and upon the political history of their
Country. It was a strong element in
the defeat of Mr. Blaine in the Cin
cinnati convention of 1876. and again
at. Chicago in 1831. and elected Mr.
Cleveland president. It also led
indirectly to the quarrel of Conkling
with Garfield, the resignation of
Uonkling and l’latt, the assassination
of Garfield,and the fatal embitter~
meat. of the republican factions in
New York utate. Those incidents
have become a part. of the history of

New York'- “Special Session" Audience.
The pleasure 0! being a Witness took me
tothe court of special sessions not long
ago. It was a merry morning. The jail
yard, where a murderer had just been
hanged, was Iqu of sunlight and playful
breezes. The jail pigeons strutted and
cooud in the sun. Thu temple of justice
wzis cool and gray, as a temple should be,
but the audience was dummy and uncom
fortable, and even the judges had a. [lush
upon their faces. It seemed almost as if
some phantom from the gallows outside
was in the place, and the peculiar atmos—
phere that the court possesses had a cem
etery savor to the nontrils—or at least. to
mine.
Somebody ought to paint a picture of a
special sessions nudience. Tho benches
present a curious variety of characters
that would furnish an artist with ample
material. Ido not suppose any one would
want to buy the picture when it was done,
but few Would [Hus it by without a. halt.
The brutal, cunning or dobused faces of
the average lookerz; on attend the proceed
ings at the bar with the same eager, crav

audience at a combat In the arena. of old
Rome. It i 3 an act of their own lives to
them, no doubt, and none knows who
among them will next be called upon the

During the late Christmas holidays a.
large firm in B—— employed as an assist
nnt clerk a young man who was exceed
lngly cross eyed. The especial duty
assigned to him was to act as watchman
1m! prevent the peculmion or all sorts of
small fancy articles that were lying about
the counters for exhibition at that time.
One day 11. half grown boy came into the
store, and after leaking all around,
pricing first once thing and then another,
among which ware some very nice socks,
he finally started to go out of the door.
At. this moment the new clerk touched
hlm lightly on the shoulder. and,
invitan him to come to the back part of
the store, laid to him politely, “Ohlige
me by giving me back at once the socks
that you have in your back pocket."
“How do you know I have any socks in
my back pocket?" demanded the boy in a
bold tone. A A , 7 7
“I saw you put them there," said the
clerk very gently.
The boy looked up into the young man’s
face in utter amazement. “Are you look
ing at me now?" he asked earnestly.
“Do you see me this very minute?" he
asked still more earnestly.

“Good Lord, mister!" cried the boy
with n blanching (are; “here‘s your
socks!" And with a. bound he was out
the back door, over the fence and away,
having learned a leeson concerning all see
ing eyes which it is to he hoped he may
never forget—Philadelphia Times.

Cured of Hero Worship.
When Herbert Spencer was in this
country a certain workingman admirer,
who had acquired an intense hero wor
ship of him, followed him many miles in
order to enjoy the supreme honor of 0. rec
ognition and grasp of the hand. He
finally succeeded in surprising him among
the Vermont hills and entered the parlor
of his hotel while the nurse was absent.
“Have I the honor at last of greeting Her
bert. Spencer?" said be. “That is in
name " was the severe English reply. “i
consider you the chief of human benefac
tors," continued the man, “and all the
more do I congratulate you, now that our
American publishers are able to groduce
such cheap editions of flour gran books
that they are reaching t a humble homes
of the poor, where they were formerly
strangers." “But what becomes of the
poor writer!" shouted Mr. Spencer as he
arose in rage and turned upon his visitor.
At this point the nurse rushed in and
ejected the poor workingman, who. as he
descended the hack stairs, was followed
by savage echoes of “Pirates! Pirates!"

Soap in the Holy LII“.
The introduction of soap is doing much

A large soap factory has been established
on the site of the ancient Sechezn, and the
people are beginning to use it on‘ their
persons instead of trying to eat it as they
did at first. Along with the introduction
of soap other reforms are going on.

A Priest with - Mustache.
At the opening of the church at Cannes,
built in memory of the late duke of Al
bany, the priest who read the lessons wore
a mustache. The prince o! “'nles, to
whom he was introduced, observing the
hirsute appendage to the clerical upper
lip, suggested that the ornament should be
removed. The suggestion was carried
out. The royal rebuke of a modern cus
tom which some persons have adopted of
wearing a mustache or shaving either
cheek or chin or both is commendable. A
priest should either shave clean or not
share at all. He should certainly not trim
his face like a dragoon. attractive though
it may be to the female portion of his con
gregation—London Truth.
