TIE New YEARS BALL - The ball
given in Columbia Engine Co.'S Hall, on
New Years evening, was one of the most
sociable and pleasant affairs it has been
our good fortune to attend this season. 1t
appeared as ifthc participants came to have
a good time, and entered into the amusc-
mcnt with zcst which could not fail of
that result. The affair was under the
management of a committee Of the older
residents Of this place, who deserve great
credit for their excrtions and the success
which has resulted from their able man.
agcmcnt. Mr.. Gibson's Quadrillc Band
discourscd excellent music for the occasion,
aud rcpast was spread in an adjoining
room, of which any could partakc through
out the whole evening. The arrange
men,s were in some respects an improve.
mcnt upon all balls which have preceded
it, in this place, and we hope to see the
results of experience thus attained mani
tested in future entertainments Of like
character.

OLYMPIA. SATURDAY MORNING, JAN. 6, lS72.
THE PASSIVE POLICY.

That any good can result from
the suggestions of the Missouri Re
publican, for the Democratic party 70
adopt a "passive policy in the next
Presidential campaign, ignore party
nominations and support Il " liberal
Republican ticket" to view it in tic
most favorable light, is extremely
doubtful. 1t is urged by that jour
nal that if the Democracy should cn-
ter tue field under its cid banner,
that the party in power would sound
its old war alarm, proclaim the coun-
try in danger, and charge the Dc
mocracy with being the enemy OF
the Union and Of American nation
ality, and that ono emphasis and So
lcmuity of declaration would suffice
to counteract the effect of this cru
SADIE" That such changes would
have the effect contemplated, does
not follow as an inevitable result.
AS passion gives place to reason,
these resorts, SO potent in times CT
great popular excitement, lose their
force. A more dreaded resource in
possession Of our opponents, is the
distribution of the patronage of the
Government, which is now dis
pensed with such lavish prodigality
that it absorbs the ambition of dem
agogucs and all effort is directed to
maintaining positions which may
speedily enrich the favored recipients
of official bounty. Extravaganza
pervades every department of the
public service. The expenditures
under the civil list is unparalleled liz
the history of our nation. The bet
ter impulses of those holding posi-
tons are blunted by the ambition to
make money. This feeling is gen.
eral, and public officer who fails to
feather his nest" is regarded with
feelings very much akin to contempt
by his party associates. If the pro-
position of the Republican carried
out, would result in placing honest
men in Office, aside from political
considerations, the object would be
worthy of all effort. But we have no
such assurance, nor have we the
most remote belief that such would
be tho result. It would DO simply
substituting another branch of the
Barnacle family for the one now in
place, and the Democracy would
very probably realize that they had
not served . better purpose than a
cats-paw, in their sacrifice of princi-
pie for success.
The greatest objection we have to
the scheme is ito infsasibility. De-
mocrats are exceedingly tenacious of
party record, and their traditions and
history are rs dear to them as Holy
Writ. They can never be induced
to abandon their organization, as
long as there is the most remote pos
sibility Of it's becoming the means
whereby their principles may tri.
umph. Their faith is marvellous.
The vicissitudes of war, the pcrsecu-
tions for opinions sake, continued
defeat, have not diminished the ardor
gifts advocates, or shaken their con-
fidsnoe in its final triumph. 1t mat
tiers not what course may be deter
mined upon by those who have
heretofore been so powerful in chap
ing its action, in this they will be
compelled to yield to the wish of the
masses. The party is too strong, its
principles too essential to the WELL
being Of the Govern ment, and it's

confuted bv Scripture.

The late Elder John Smith, of
Kentucky, who died recently at an
advanced age, was one of the most
eccentric wits south of the Ohio
River, and true gentleman. He
was Familiarity known throughout
Kentucky and the West by the sob
riquet of "Racoon Smith" While
still in the Baptist ministry, and at
tending one of the annual meetings
of the body, a tall, Iank, green speci-
men of humanity presented himself
before the association as a candi-
date for the ministry. He was not
regarded as being entirely sound
Of mind, and labored under the hal
lucination that he was especially
scaled to preach" and kept con
stantly importuning the association
to grant him the necessary license.
In addition to his partially unbal-
anced mind, young Weeks was the
pOssessor Of as huge and ungainly
pair of feet as ever trod shoe leather.
Tired of his opportunities, and not
being disposed to grant the license,
the association handed him over to
Smith, with instructions to make an
end of the case, and between them
took place the following converse
ton:
Smith-"So, Brother Weeks, you
think you have special call to
preach?"
Weeks-"Yes, the Lord has called
me to the work, but the association
refuses the license
Smith-"How do you know that
you are called?"
Weeks-"Know it? l feel it in my
heart of hearts. 1 want the Ii.
cense."
Smith-"Do you believe the BIZ
bic, Brother Weeks?"
Weeks-"Certainly 1 do-every
word of it."
Smith-"Well, i'll can prove by
the Bible that you are not called to
preach will you be satisfied to drop
the matter and not further impor-
tune the association for a Iicense?D
Brother Weeks assented to this
and "Racoon Smith" deliberately
opened the New Testament at Ro-
mans Y, 10, and in q grave tone
read:
"How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the gospel of
peace" etc, then glancing at Weeks
large feet, remarked:
"You see, Brother Weeks, that
the feet of the preacher are beauti- !
fll; you, sir, have the most mon
strous ugly feet of any man in the |
State of fKentucky; therefore, by this
Bible it is clear that you have not |
been especially called"
AS Smith finished his remarks the
entire association went of in a par
oxysm of laughter, and Weeks really
that he had not been
''called" -bolted from the meeting
house, and never afterward annoyed
the association for license. ]

hardy and will bear transplanting
and rough treatment. The flowers
are very double, of bright colors, and
last long time. The seeds can be
had mixed or in eight separate col
ors.

The Larkspurs or DeIphjHWns are
flowers that cannot be spared from
collections of considerable size, as
they offer the finest of blue flowers.
The annual sorts are of various col
ors. blue predominating-al quite
pretty. The plants dc not bear
transplanting. Sow quite early,
where to remain. The Delphinus or
perennial Larkspurs are tall showy
flowers of the finest blue color, quite
desirable for boquets and decora-
tiOns.

A Bad Safe forBurglars-A Good Use
For Electricity.

There is on exhibition at safe
manufacturers in Broadway, New
York, a most complete arrangement
for rendering safe of any kind burg
lar proof. 1t consists simply of a
tin case, neatly ornamented, into
which the safe is placed. The case
has double walls, made alright.
From the space between these walls
all tle air is extracted. The safety
of the continuance lies in the fact
that, the safe being closed, the mo-
ment any air is let into this air ex-
hausted space, that instant an alarm,
located at any distance you chose
from the safe, is set going, and raises
such oin with its changing bells
and gongs that it would be sure to
arouse even the sleeplest of the sew
en- sleepers, and probably a police
man. This is done by electricity.
The tin casing is connected by a
small cable with the alarm and the
cable is charged with electricity
from a small battery. When the
casing is closed the circuit is com
plete, and the opening of the door or
the slightest puncture of the outer
wall breaks the circuit, and off goes
the alarm. If any attempt is made
to cut or intercept the cable, the cir
cult is broken, and the alarm sounds:
If the burglars essay to smash the
box in which the alarm is kept. they
at once set the gongs and bells go
ing, and there is no rest until some
one with a knowledge of the combi-
nation upon which it is set, comes
and appeases the noisy monster.
Other electro burglar-proof safes or
vaults have depended upon some
combination which should perfect an
electric circuit to give an alarm; this
depends upon breaking a circuit
already formed, and the beauty of it
is that when it is once set, a person
can scarcely sneeze in its presence
without shivering it all to pieces,
and setting those inevitable gongs
and bells going at full gallop.
A number of electricians, among
them Professors Morse, Chandler,
Prescott, Young and others, have
certified that their skill is not equal
to the breaking of the circuit without
sounding the alarm; and if these sci
entific burglars cannot do it, how can
the ordinary "cracksman" be expect
ed to? They cannot; it would be
asking too much of the unscientifc
"crib clacking' fraternity. The
idea is to alfix She alarm to the out
side of the building wherein the safe
is located, and high enough up to
be out of the reach of burglars.
Then, if the safe is unlawfullY ap-
the alarm in the street is
sounded, and may be heard for twen-
ty blocks. Or the alarm may be set
in a convenient station-house, or be-
side the bed of him who owns the
valuables in the safe, or placed in
any locality where it is desirable the
noise should be made-the cable
can be carried any distance, and can
not be meddled with without arous
ing small earthquake. This seems
to be one of those inventions which
40 amount of skill can circumvent.

PLANTATION BITTBRS.

This wonderful vegetable
restorative is the sheet-an-
chOr of the feeble and de-
bilitated. As a tonic and
cordial for the aged and Ian
guild it has no equal among
stomachics. AS a remedy for
the nervous weakness to
which women are especially
subject, it is superceding ev-
cry other stimulant. In all
climates, tropical, temperate
or frigid, it acts as a specific
in every species of disorder
undermines the bodily
strength and breaks down the
animal spirits.
