HER FEELINGS

are acute, and she is alive to the contra
dictory views held by ply sicians in regard
to her case yet she is hopeful and at
times happy, though she has had heavy
sorrows to bear, apart from her physical
sufferings. She recognizes the fact that
her misfortune have fitted her for the
perfect bliss of a higher life, and she longs
with intense desire for the change that in
the twinkling of an eye shall release her
from the body, snd render transformed
the defOrmed.

SHIP BUILDING DEAD IN AMERICA

SHIP BUILDING DEAD IN AMERICA
Thanks to protection and the tariff on iron,
our iron ship. building trade is annihilated.
England, even in her worst protective days
always admitted the material Of Interior
manufactures free of duty. But we tax
the raw material of everything worth tax
ing, iron included. No iron slip, building
of any consequence, therefore, is carried on
in the United States. The unimpcachablc
annual narrative of the Secretary of the
Treasury declares that in 1868 iron vessels
were constructed only in Wilmington, Del
aware, aud in no other part Of the United
States. Possibly to day even this last spark
of great trade is extinguishcd. But, per-
haps, although We do not build iron ships:
VIC buy them from foreigners when built.
Indeed VIC do not, except to be used for ocean
steamers. For the coastwisc trade is by
our navigation laws shut against foreign
built ships. Bring in the prisoner" "IIe
won't come in, sir, replies the policeman.
Then como in yourself" Is lie won't let
me-" No. the dog in the mauser has found
his philosophy in our commercial code.
We neither build iron ships ourselves on
account of the tariff on iron, nor do We let
others build such ships for us. Our in
debtmcnt does not justify this course. In
decd there is but the same cheap road to
wealth, either for nation or individual,
whether in debt or out of it.-Crisis.

INDIAN AFFAIRs.-The Washington
correspondence of the Portland Bulletin,
of Dec. 18th, in abiding to Indian affairs,
says:
When the President concluded to turn
the Indian Agencies over to the churches,
he assigned the Oregon Agencies to the
Methodist Mission in New York, and all
the appointments have been made on rec.
concentrations sent in by that society,
which probably allowed Rev. Mr.. Wilbur
to name the agents. 1t was represented to
the Indian Bureau that the Lapwai Agcn-
cy was Catholic Mission, and hence under
misapprehension, the President assigned
it to the Catholics, and appointed John
A. Simms. of Maryland, formerly resi-
dent of Washington Territory, to that
Agency, he being Catholic. Senator
Corbett called the Presidents attention to
tho fact that this is not Catholic Mission,
whcreupon the President requested that
the nomination be held back in the Senate
with view to appointing an agent on the
recommendation of the American Board of
Foreign Missions at Boston. Mr.. Simns
is in tribulation over this dilemma.

prie,ors Of tire land upon which they are
seeking to create rival to Olympia are
offering the larger portion Of their town
site for a railroad connection. If they
succeed, the damage to Olympia would be
far greater than the cost of building and
equipping the branch road proposed by
the Olympia company. Is there either
wisdom or consistency in sacrificing SO large
a material interest to an impracticab!c alb
straction. The proposition to secure these
advantages by voluntary subscriptions sole
ly, is not equitable if practicable. The
burden would fall exclusively upon the
liberal aud public spirited. and the benefits
would be shared in equally by the mean
and penurious. An improvement so man
ifes,ly for the public benefit, it is entirely
right aud proper should be made at the
public expense.

A Crow from Doua Sc nd.

A Grovi from Down sc 1Ld.
Our over eauEl lent nei-LLer, the Seattle
Ta,eE,r,sc,r. expresses great d;.gu., ~iik
the action Of the managers Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. in offering that city
railroal connection on the same terms they
offer to other towns upon the Sound. I,
says Printed proposals have been for
warj!ed to this city for the purpose Of hav-
ing property owners here pledge to the
company donations Of hnd upon conli-
tons which, if reformed by it, would fal!
far short of their expectations and which,
as a matter Of information, We state arc
that these gifts to the company are to be,
come absolute upon its connecting its rail
road. or causing the same to be connected
with some point on Elliot or Duwamish
Bay, in the Territory of Washington, with
in the time specified in said charter or the
amendments thereto" And adds: But
when the men who run this corporation
talk to people here about giving them mill
ions Of dollars worth Of property just to
tap this town with branch or connection
with the unimportant line between the Co.
lumbia river and the Sound, they presume
upon greater degree Of infatuation and
stupidity than the people here are pos
sesscd Of"
Ifthc realization Of the people of Seattle
" falls far short of public expectation" the
Lmel'igencer is responsible in great de-
gree for creating expectations which are
NOT to be realized and if they should ut.
terly fail in realizing any Of their hopes in
connection with the railroad, they. have
but to follow the advice intinated from
the same source. Than this, nothing is
more certain. And we would commend
this fact to the earnest consideration not
only of the people Of Seattle, but those of
Olympia, and every o'hcr place on the
Sound. Where there is such an abundance
Of eligible points for railroad connections
with the Sound, many Of them unoccupied,
it is downright folly to czpcetthc managers
Of the Company to waive these advantages
in favor of any one place without valuable
consideration, and it is tho rankcst stupid
ity to look to any rival company for relief
from such exactions, for they arc all con-
trollcd by the same pol:cy-to make the
most of the opportunities ofcred-and if
one place will not accept their terms anoth-
or will, aud no amount of seolding about
mammoth monopolics," and "soulless
corporations" will drive them from their
purpose; because they are mammoth, they
have the power; AMI because they are
soulless, they will exercise that power with
little regard to the wishes of others; hav-
ing neither /" body to be kicked nor soul to
be damned" they are not amenablc either
to vituperatiou or onjolery. Those who
seek to enhance the value of their own
property by railroad connections must re-
coguize these facts if they expect to sue
coed.

the following complaint of vexatious neg.
lcct in the same 1u,rter:
.. PoRr TOWNSEND, Jan. G, 1871.
Ed. STANDARD: In a late issue of your pa
per see you are complaining of the Olympia
Postmaster. Why don't you take things easy?
He did not deliver your letter in time, you say,
and only because your whole Christian name
was not given in the direction. You can
thank your lucky stars that he delivered 1t at
all. lit happens again, take it cooly, as
do, for instance. Mr.. Burr advertised in the
weekly Tribune list of letters remaining in
the Olympia post-otTice, stating that they could
be had by sending one-cert stamp for each
one and saying "advcrtised." The paper ar
rived here on Monda", and among the letters
advertised was one for your correspondent,
who wrote a letter to Mr.. Ru r, inclOsng
threc-cent stamp, asking him to forward the
advertised letter to this place, and ifany more
shonld arrive at his Office to send them the
same way. On Tuesday the mail went up
Sound, and returned on Thursday, but not the
letter. and not even an answer from the Post
master. With the mail on Friday, another re-
quest, this time directed to Postmaster,
Olympia" was sent for the advertised letter,
but on the return of the mail. on Monday,
there was neither answer nor letter, and as yet
nary word of excuse or explanation from the
Postmaster nor the advertised letter has been
received.

THE FLooD.-Sincc the second day of
this month the rain, occasionally inter-

most continuously, the intermissions not
altogether exceeding two days out of the
twelve. This is said to be the severest
storm, in force and duration, recollected by
that historical character, the oldest inhab.
liant" The consequence is that foods
prevail throughout the valleys and low
lands between the Columbia River and
the Sound, cutting off all travel overland
between this place and Monticello and also
to Steil,coom. We have had no mail from
the south for nearly week, and we un-
derstand that the contractors have lost two
horses in attempting to get the mails
through. How soon communication will
be resumed cannot now be determined; it
will probably be several days, and it may
be weeks. 1t will have the advantage of
