Music.

Iu the days gone by, the Monks OF
Ireland had beautiful custom of
singing the praises of the Lord: day
after day, and night after night, sue
cessive choirs would chant their
heavenly hymns, and never even for
an instant was it silenced for hum
dred years. And so skilled in music
were they that the kings of Scotland
and Wales came TO Ireland to take
some of them to their respective
courts, to teach their families and
adorn their palaces. Students came
rom all parts Of Europe toErln to
learn music. The highest honors
were bestowed on the gifted chill
dren OF song by the kings and
people.

Valuable Recipes.

KEEpING FISH FRESH WITH SUGAR
\ method adopted in Portugal for
preserving fish consists IN removing
the viscera and spriuklinS sugar over
the interior, keeping the fish in q
horizontal POSITION. so that the sugar
may penetrate as much as possible
1t is said that fish prepared in this
way can be kept completely fresh
for long time, the SAVIOR being rs
perfect as If recently caught. Sal
mon thus treated before sailing and
smoking possess a much more agree
able taste, tablespoonful of sugar
being sufficient for n five-pound FISH.
WASHING CLOTHES.
Even IN the matter of washing
clothes, the Investigations of scien-

may trust a paper Just published IN

recommends the following mixture
as one which will save clothes from

the use of soda: Two pounds Of soap
dissolved in five and half gallons
OF water, to which add three large

RUNAWAY AND Acc1DENr.-We learn
from the Tribune that in coming into

short distance this side Of Little
johns farm, three men had runaway,
and, to one Of them, serious mishap.
One Of the horses, in jerking his head
from side to side, got his harness
caught, and his head detained in q
strained, unnatural position. He be-
came frightened and the team put off
at the top of their speed. One of the
men also became frightened and at
tempted to leap from the wagon. In
doing SO, his right leg below the knee
was caught on the brake rod, and tore
down to the ankle, making terrible
rip in the flesh. His left leg was
caught by the wheel and broken be-
tween the knee and hip, The horses
were quoted, wagon turned about, and
the man taken back to Littlejohnis for
treatment. We learn the name of the
unfortunate man is Turner.

HUNG IN ErF1GY.-Yesterday morning

Hume In EFF1aY:-Yesterday morning
two stuffed images were found swing
ing on the arch erected by the Vieux-
temps Brothers, on Fourth Street, near
Olympic Hall. The arch was erected
for the purpose Of advertising the series
Of concerts tho Brothers proposed Civ
ing during Fair week, and not for a
gallows, as the Courier has insisted all
along. The figures were life-size, well
dressed and artistieally ornamented
with the inscription Oldtime Broth
ers, while an empty whisky bottle hung
suspended from the neck of one of the
forlorn victims. Upon the fact becom-
ing knowii that murder most foul"
had been committed during the i" silent
watches of the knight" crowd assem-
blcd to witness the execution" but
their enjoyment was dispelled by the
Brothers cutting the figures down and
carrying them away. We learn that
they laid in state several hours in good
Tsmplar's hall, with the whisky bottle
mournfully reposing by their side.
The inscription leaves no doubt of the
intent of the perpetrators of tho out
rage to manifest disapprobation of the
Brothers Or their acts during their So
journ in this place. Whether such
harsh measures IRE excusable or not,
under the circumstances, it is not our
province to determine; but we do saw
that we believe the vieuxtemps Broth
ers have done themselves injustice by
their hasty, inconsiderate retaliation of
fancied sights or injuries. Their first
concert was marred by this spiteful
spirit, the occasion being a Sabbath
school benefit, and its exhibition, there
fore, peculiarly out of place. Once
since, the offense has been repeated in
public, but met with rebuke from q
portion of the audience that was not
generally considered il1-timed. That
the Brothers possess very fine musical
talent, and ore qualified to teach music,
is not disputed, and that their concerts,
in all other respects were very credita-
BILE, is the universal opinion. If they
had pursued milder department their
efforts, We believe, would have been
successful. We hope their experience
here will be lesson that shall rebound
to their advantage hereafter. Buster
will not win in peaceablc community,
and bravado is the poorest kind of cap
ital for lucrative business.

The Commas Ox.-The Courier, q
few days ago, made very pointed illu-
sion to the conduct. of the Steilacoom
School Directors in paying two lady
teachers in greenbasks at par. The
truth is that two of the Directors are
Republicans, who doubtless agreed with
the Administration that greenbacks are
good enough to pay for services Of SOL
diers and women. The Co,,yier,s stric-
lures, therefore, are against it's own
party, and Injuries its own friends. This
circumstance demonstrates that it may
tell the truth by accident.

OUT OF HIS PLACE.


Rev. j. II. Thompson, in a lengthy
article published in the Courier of
Thursday, strikes the key mote Of new
gospel. Nobody ever dreamed that he
was sent out here all the way from Nova
Scotia to instruct the business men of
this Territory in regard to the great
railroad operations of the country.
We had supposed that that the Mission
airy Society that supports him at the
expense of the charities of the church,
had commissioned him on an GRAND of
another sort altogether. To identify
himself with political rings or railroad
rings to be on chase at the heels of
railroad directors on the Sound and
across the country. acting as eavesdrop-
per and spy, and making himself the
duped mouthpiece of proposition ut
tered (if at all by any of the railroad
directors) for the only purpose of shak-
ing him off, is to put himself quite out
OF his place.
We cannot believe that he intended
to perpetrate an insult upon oil his
friends, yet we cannot fathom the STU
pidity that failed to see that such an
article would be taken asa direct insult
by every man who owns q dollar Of
property or has the least interest in
Olympia. Nor can we soc how it can
be regarded by the directors as any
thing less than an insult to them.
Morally pledged and legally bound
to build railroad to this place, within
a given time. it is poor compliment
to the good faith of such a body of men,
to be told two Or three years before the
the expiration of that time, that they
do not intend to fulfill their promise,
and that too after having been subj
died by the people to the amount of
six thousand acres of land and large
amounts of money, which subsidy they
have formally accepted by public pro-
clamation. Yet this very reverend gen.
tleman follows them to Kalama, and re-
turns with flea in his ear, the import
of which is that if the people of Olym-
pia and Thurston county want a rail
road they must build it themselves.
Of course there is 10 one behind this
insulting proposition but the Rev. j.
r. Thompson. He alone is responsible
for it. Even supported with his sacred
calling, he can never make the people
believe that the railroad directors pro-
mulged it, or if they did that it was
done for any other purpose than joke
to test the gullibility Of man out of
his place.

from Pennsylvania although conflicting
appear to indicate the success of the
Republican ticket, but by no such
majority as the loyal telegraph claims.

that the Democracy are successful,
while the returns from other States are
conflicting and doubtful. The Courier,
by big head lines, and words full of
g sound and fury signifying nothing, /"
would make it appear that the elections
had all gone one way, but we have too
high an estimate of popular intelligence
TO believe that the people can be hum

showing. As they have in the election of
Gaosgia. While the dispatches pub
hshed here reluctantly conceded 25,-
goo Democratic majority, the State has
gone so 200 as later accounts admit.
The result in the several States that
held elections last Tuesday, were in a
great measure based upon local issues.
and cannot be taken as an infallible in
dication Of the vote in the Presidential
election next month. The same per-
centage of loss to the Republicans in
every State election since the nomina-
