CLARK's ADDITION TO PORT Town
sEND.-Some time ago We observed in the
Port Townsend Message an article, which
has since been extensively copied, denounc-
ing the plating and recording of certain
land under the name of " Clark's Addition
to Port Townsend" as an attempt to dc.
fraud, by selling these lands under false
pretences. A disinterested gentleman
whose reputation for truth aud veracy is
above suspicion, has called our attention to
that article, and of his own knowledge
pronounces its statements and inuendoes
maliciously false. He says it is true that
Clark's Addition" is not Immediately
adjoining the small strip of mud fat upon
which the business portion Of the town is
now built, but is upon the same bay, in a
much more eligible position, and that with
a view to the railroad terminus, he would
much sooner invest on this new plat than
on any portion of the old town plat, aud
that the attempt to disparage it to strang-
ers could only have been prompted by ig-
norancc, rivalry, or personal malice. This
is matter in which we have no other in
terest than desire for fair play, and our
information is derived from source which
is perfectly reliable.

SENATOR HENDRIcKs.-"V VAN" the
we'll known Washington correspondent,
gives the following interesting sketch of
this gallant democratic leader:
Riding home to dinner, from the capitol
the other night, l noticed in the horse car
Mr. Hendricks of Indiana-the man who
stands the best chance Of being next presi-
dent of the United States Plain as an old
farmer in his dress, and with pleasant,
nest-looking face, he makes troops of
friends wherever he is known, even among
his political opponents. When he was in
the United States Senate he was a favorite
among republicans there. In his personal
characteristics he is unlike General Grant.
He has pleasant word for everybody aud
good nature beams from his. couutenanco
like sunshine. He is somewhat in this
respect like Mr.. Colfax, with more Of
dignity than naturally belongs to our
worthy vice president. There sat this
plain man, clad in old fashioned clothes {;
a hat much the worse for wear; gloves
sadly in want of needle looking curious
ly out Of the car window at the White
House as We rode past it. And then there
was an amusing little scene. Next him
sat backwoodsman with wife and three
children, evidently down here to see the
lions of the capitol. A long line of carria-
ges were drawn up before the Presidents
house, for it was Mrs. Grants afternoon
reception. The stranger saw the sight
and turning to Mr.. Hendricks he
asked, "Tsnt that the White house -
1t is" was the reply.
"Well what does that crowd mean -
" 1t is reception day" says Mr.. Hendricks,
as polite as if he were addressing an Eng
lish lord. Upon this latter statement; the
eountrymcn jumps to his feet and call to
wife, Mary, there is the Presidents
house. 1t is reception day-le, Us 60 in -
The next instant he pulled the conductors
bell, and husband, wife and three children
got off and went into the Presidential man
sion, where they soon met Gen. Grant and
Mrs. Grant and my Lords Tenderden. and
Grey, and the other English aristocrats Of
high commission. Nobody in the car
enjoyed this little scene more than Mr.
Hendricks did"

Ventilation I'm Lecture Rooms

The gentleman who introduced Miss
Anna E. Dickinson, on the occasion of
her recent lecture at Steinway Hall, in
requesting for her fair and patient
hearing, cited recent case in which
several of the audience had-improp-
erly, as he thought-left the hall before
the completion of the lecture, and re-
minded his hearers that Wendell Holmes
after personal examination, had once
ascertained the cause of a similar phe-
nomenon to be full brain. But there
are two sides to this matter, and the
hearers, who pay handsomely to be
entertained, have rights as important
as those of any lecturer ( polite au
when uninterested, if they are comfort
able. Make them uncomfortable, and
there is an end to forbearance. When
Senator Summer delivered his address
at Steinway Hall on the Ist inst, it was
disgracefully close, and the majority
of his hearers, who sat in the body of
the hall, were restless, drowsy, and
miserable. To sit still for an hour
or two, under such circumstances, is
simply to feed the mind at the expense
of the body. II is a species of mild
debauchery, for which one is sure to
suffer in the flesh next day. Yet if q
man, to relieve his oppressed lungs,
goes out, he is uncharitably accused ol
having full brain, or of being ill-bred
or offended yet it appears to be necess
ary, to remind lecturers and lecture
room managers that an essential element
of success to their entertainments is
the infusion of the pure air Heaven into
their halls.

How Falerien Looks.
Correspondence ce Of the London Daily News
Mount VaIorian 20 a e,,la,I;1 49,,

Correspondent &c Of the London Daily Newsl
Mount Valerien is splendid strong
hold, well placed for defence and ad-
mirably fortified. Not having been
bombarded, it shows no sign ot dam
age. 1t was more noticeable Yesterday
for its dreary emptiness than for any
thing else. All the Frenchmen had
not gone from the place at the time
lead you in to see it, though none were
seen as we approached the gate. The
officers who go round with the Prussian
commander of artillery to hand over
the great keys and introduce him to
empty store-rooms, wear the uniform of
the defeated side. There are three who
thus remain. They are the last repre-
sentives of the old garrison. All other
Frenchmen connected with the fort
have gone downhill across the Seine to
the Bois de Boulogne, away into the
mist towards Paris. Two of these
French officers belong to the artillery /;
one wears the red trousers of the line.
His face was pale and haggard, and he
appeared to have suffered sickness and
privation. His companions, though
grave and sad looking, showed less
signs of wear and tear. One had an
irrespressibly stout jovial aspect, which
no ill-luck could change. They 60
about their work in the manner of men
who feel painfully that their duty must
be got through, and exchange few po-
lite phrases with the conquerors. The
younger artillery officer has word for
those who are likely to be so soon back
in Versailles. Will the Enghshmen
take down the name and address of his
mother7 She lives in Versailles. She
has not heard of him for long time.
A thousand thanks. A great favor; but
it will relieve her anxiety He goes
away much pleased at the chance of
sending a message.
Many guns have been removed.
About dozen heavy pieces are left be-
hind. There is the huge Josephine"
a ships gun, which sent shells so far
into the Prussian positions. Another
ships gun, unchristened, is almost
equally large. OF mitrailleuses, small
arms, baggage, etc., no yestige was to
be seen. The barracks were very dirty:
likewise the stables for the artillery
horses; and scores of Prussians might
be observed diligently beating dissin-
fecting powder into the mattresses which
the French had left. There had been
much sickness in the fort
With glance round the foggy land
scape, we endeavor to see Paris through
the haze, and then go down again.
The Prussian artillerymen and the
forty-seventh line will be left in that
abandoned fort. 1t will take at least
twenty-four hours to set things straight
and bring up stores. We observe, as
we decend, Montretout close beneath.
/ wonder the Prussians could stay
there with Mont -Valerien held by the
enemy; yet stay they did in the form
of an outpost Of the fourth jaeger bat
talon, and lost su; prisingly few by
shells fired at them. Heavy guns cam
not keep away determined rihemen.

Something for Our Young Readers.

Our very pleasant contemporary,
Hearth and Home, tell its young read
ers how to take a coin out of water
without wetting the hand, and this is
their method: Fill plate with water
to the depth of about a quarter of an
inch; coin is then placed in the wa
ter; piece of paper is then lighted,
and put, while burning, on the surface
of the water, and covered with a tum-
bier. As the paper burns under the
tumbler the water viii rush up under
the tumbler, and leave the com in the
plate, when it may be lifted without
wetting the fingers. This is very in
teresting experiment, as it affords q
good illustration of the expansive pow
er of heat, and of the pressure of the
atmosphere. But We will tell our
young friends of more wonderful and
equally simple method of doing the
same thing. Suppose you were re-
quired to take q coin from the bottom
of deep jar, or even a pail of water,
without wetting your hand, and snp-
pose further that your naked hand was
thrust through the water, how do you
suppose it could be done2 Simply by
shaking little lycopodium, (sHb-
stances that may be procured cheaply
at any drug store,) over the surface OF
the liquid. Then plunge your hand
boldly but steadily into the water and
it viii not wet you in the least. The
cause of the waters not wetting the
hand is the same in principal as that
which causes the dewdrop to stand in
spherical drops on the cabbage leaf,
and the water to roll off the ducks
back without wetting it. BY a some.
what similar power, spiders and Other
insects walk on the surface of watel
without wetting themselves, and with
out sinking in the liquid to any per
oeptible degree.
