CELBRATIoN.-By reference to an ad-
vertisement published in today's paper, it
will be seen that the Port Townsend people
intend to have a grand celebration of the
Fourth and from present appearances i,
would seem that it will be the only observ.
ance of the day on the Sound this year.
As the citizens Of Port Townsend have
shown so much enterprise and public
spirit in the matter, we trust the people
will join with them, aud make the observ.
nnce one long to be remembered.

OLYMPIA. SATURDAY MORNING, June 3, 1871
Railroad Combinations.
at our risk.

The California papers short time since
mentioned the proposed scheme for grand
railroad combination, and the telegraph
subsequently announced the consumma-
ton of the arrangement for carrying it
into effect, which is to have an important
bearing upon all interests affected by rail
roads on the whole Pacific Coast. The
combination embraces the following pow
erful companies: Pennsylvania Central,
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne, Chicago and
Northwestern, Union Pacific, Holidays
Oregon Company, California Pacific, and
new company just formed in San Fran
cisco. The project is to extend as rapidly
as possible the California Pacific, running
from Vallejo in a norlhwesterly direction
to form junction with Holidays road
from Portland near Goose Lake in south.
eastern Oregon thence due east along the
plateau south of Snake river to point Of
junction with the Union Pacific at the
northern extremity of Salt Lake. This
new road will form two brances to the I'm.
ion Pacific, one terminating on the bay of
San Francisco and the other at Portland
aiming at an ultimate terminus on Puget
Sound.
1t was the original design of this COM
bination to embrace and control the North.
ern Pacific Company, and it is most for
tunate circumstance that that portion of
the project failed. With the control of
the Northern Pacific, it would have been
for the interest of the combination to de.
lay the completion of that road as long as
possible, in order to turn the current Of
trade over the Union Pacific from the Pa.
ciic side and make the completed portion
on the east tributary to the Chicago and
Northwestern at St. Paul. Under that
arrangement, the Northern Pacific could
never have had the benefit of the immense
advantage in distance or the exclusive
control of the terminal points, and the
probabilities are that a direct line from
Puget Sound to Lake Superior would have
been placed in the far future, if ever com
pleted. Now this combination is placed
in direct rivalry with the Northern Pacific
and will compel the latter to put forth its
best exertions to a speedy completion Of
the road ia order to realize and maintain
its advantages of route and to achieve the
commercial center upon Puget Sound as
we'll as its Eastern terminus. This can
only be done by a vigorous prosecution Of
the work from the Western as we'll as its
Eastern terminus. We have faith tina,
the managers Of the Northern Pacific are
equal ia, the occasion, and that in this war
Of giants this country will receive an i'm.
petus that will greatly rebound to its pros
perity~

ages sustained by a mob in that city in
1868. This is a matter of no special inter-
est TO our readers. and though feeling that
the small amount of the Judgment was but
adding insult to injury, We should not have
referred to the subject but for the fact
that one Of our town contemporaries has secu
cit TO publish an account of the trial, copied
from one of the most disreputable Of the
flash papers of San Francisco, so utterly
false aud libeIous that we feel that our
silence upon the subject nigh, be construed
into an admission Of its statements if We
failed to notice it. On the testimony Of
one Butler. the leader of the mob. who
adds perjury to the crime Of attempted as
sassination, We are represented as having
lost nothing by the mob but few volumes
of old books, principally patent Office re-
ports, not exceeding $50 in value, and pre-
dicaiing our claim against the city upon
nothing but that loss, our sworn statement
to the contrary Notwithstanding. Yhe
facts are, we were originally the sole pro-
prictor of the printing Office destroyed on
that occasion by the mob; We subsequent
ly took Capt. Moss into partnership, and
just previous to the destruction by the mob
VIC had given our partner bill Of sale to
our interest, to secure him for moneys ad.
vanced to the amount of about $4,000 to
carry on the business, under the verbal
agreement that we should remain in full
control of the editorial department Of the
paper, draw our personal support from the
Office, and resume our interest in the bust
ness whenever the profits Of the Office re,
imbursed our partner the money he had
advanced Under that arrangement, our
interest in the Office would not have been
worth less than $4,000 at this time, af-
fording in the meantime an ample support
for ourself aud family. In addition to this,
our library, which was thrown into the
street and burned by the mob, was the ac-
emulation Of thirty years Of actual edito-
rial life, every volume of which was select
cd with special reference to its value in
our vocation. We hold VIM. T. Colemans
RECEIPT for sS5, for freight upon portion
of those books from New York to San
Francisco, and We subsequently added TO
it the Congressional library Of Hon. Thos.
j. Henley, including the Congressional
Giobe for fifteen sessions amounting to
forty five volumes, and many other books
of great value, published by order of Con-
gress. The entire library destroyed
amounted to about 600 volumes, and we
would not have parted with it for S. 900.
We lost our first investment, our promis.
ing prospects, our position as the leading
editor Of our party in the State, our means
ofsupport, and our library of the full value
Of $4,000 and after keeping the suit in
court for four years we are awarded 81 200
damages, scarcely sufficient to pay the cx.
penses of litigation. But for the determi
nation and legal skill of Col. Larrabee,
who had the case taken up and disposed Of,
the probabilities are that it would never
have reached determination.

Grant +; nd COlfax.

The following extract from a Wash
ington letter TO the Brooklyn Union.
affords genuine satisfaction in read
ing:
''In at least one other respect Mr.
Colfax is the most unique of Vice
Presidents that was ever known. At
the outset of his term 81 Office, he
avowed bis determination 10 DO the
supporter, and not the rival, OF the
President, and faithfully does he
stand by his word. 1t is the most
natural thing imaginable for the Vice
President, like the heir apparent to
crown, to form a little court of
envy and competition. Every Vice
President since John Adams has, to
some extent, done this. From Wash
ington to Lincoln every President
has had some reason to feel that the
officer next to him was nucleus for
opposition. Not so in the present
case Many persons. perhaps. will
not consider it a very lofty kind of
merit; but thus far, through thick
and thin, CoIfax stands up for Grant.
As might be expected, Grant appre-
ciates this, and thoroughly likes Col
fax for it, and makes him bis most
confidential counsellor. They are
much together"

Es5- The hcroism Of the world, En-
ma, is false-pitifully false. The
veriest coward on earth can reap
laurels with steel when the sward
beats under the tread Of the advan-
cling columns and the maddened
heart is lifted on the wild swelling Of
bugle and banner. The world stands
waiting with chapet and crown,
while history is sure to give q new
chapter to the scripture of fame -
But there are fields Of strife by the
side of which these are merest child's
play. History never records the
higher exhibitions Of herOism. God
alone has watched the struggle and
witnessed the heroism Of the COM
batants. The chivalry Of poverty
is sadly rich in the fiercer and grand
err daring of hand and heart against
fearful odds. We have often looked
and wondered at the calm and I'M
faltering courage of those who had
but the wealth Of the days weary
toll with which to cross the fresh
bold at night where a little band is
waiting for food and rament. Want,
in this winter time stands by many

rn-Au iron railroad tie has recent
ly been invented which, it is argued,
is actually cheaper than the wooden
cross-ties now in use. The wooden
ties. it is stated, cost about 20 cents
each. and must be replaced every
three or four years, while the iron
tie, costing SO, when protected from
corrosion by coating of coal tar,
will never wear out. The most use
full point of the invention is the meth
cd of afixing the rail. A half chair
is cast on the tie, and the other half,
composed of wrought iron, is held in
place by wrought iron key. The
rail rests upon rubber cushion four
inches thick and five inches in length,
which is protected by tightly fitting
iron cap one-eighth of an inch thick
1t is claimed that the rubber cushions
will keep the ends of the rails from
being beaten down, and will, by pre-
venting conclusion, save the rolling
stock and allow the trains to glide
smoothly and rapidly along the
! track.

What Becomes of a Dead Horse,

The Scientific American recently
contained an article on the uses to
which dead horses can be applied, in
the course Of which it is remarked
that the animal must be a remark
able good one if he is worth as much
when alive as he is to the retorts and
kettles Of the chemist As soon as
the horse is dead, his blood is sought
by the manufacturers of albumen, and
by sugar refners, and the burners of
lampblack. Not drop is allowed to
90 to waste.
The name and tail are wanted for
hair cloth, sives, bow strings, and
brushes. The skin is converted into
leather for cart harness, for boots and
shoes, and strong collars. The hoofs
are used for combs, homework, glue,
and in old times were the chief source
of hartshorn, now obtained from the
gas-house. The flesh is boiled down
in the rendering vat, and much oil
and fat is obtained from it, Some of
the choice bits may find their way
into cheap restaurants, and play the
part ofbeefsteak, or help to enrichthe
hasty plates of soup of these establish
ments. The flesh left after all has
been extracted from it that is of any
service, is sometimes burned, 10 be
used as manure, or is worked up into
heterogeneous compounds, such as
oyanides, to be used by the photogra-
pher in taking our pictures. The stom-
ach and intestines make valuable
strings for musical instruments,
and out of the bones so many useful
articles are manufactured, that it is
almost impossible to make out COM
pete list of them. Among them are
buttons, toys, tweezers, knife handles,
rulers, cups, dominoes, balls, aud the
residue from all these things is burnt
into bone. black to be used by the
sugar refiner, who puts in a second
claim on the dead horse and some
part of the bone-black is burned
white, to be used by the assayers in
testing gold and when the assayor
and refner have finished with it, it
is converted into super phosphate to
serve as a valuable manure on our
land the teeth are used as substi-
tutes for ivory; and the iron shoes, if
not nailed over the door, to insure
good fortune TO the household, are
worked up into excellent wrought
metal. Some portion Of the bone
black is converted into phosphorus
for the manufacture of matches, and
lately a valuable bread preparation
is made from the phosphate, aud
medicines are prepared for the cure
of consumptlves.

Eg This is what American society

mistaken
La France the flirting is all done
after marriage, and the young girl
looks forward to it as her introduce
tion to a career of conquest. In
America SO great is our democratic
liberality that we think of uniting
the two systems. We are getting
on in that way fast. A knowledge
of Frence is beginning to be consid.
cred as the pearl Of great price, to
gain which all else must be sold. The
girls must go to the French theatre
and be stared at by the French debau'
cbees, who laugh at them whom they
pretend TO understand what, thank
Heaven they cannot. Then we are
to have a series of French novels,
carefully translated, and pulled and
praised even by the religious press,
written by the corps of French fe-
male retormers, which will show them
exactly how the naughty French
women manage their cards so that,
by-and by, we shall have the latest
