Madame Anna Bishops Concert Troupe,
now making their Farewell Tour of the
continent, is performing i'll Victoria to
crowded audiences. Her agents writes

ten days and give one or more concerts,

1t is seldom that our people are af-

real prima donna, of worldwide repu-
tation, and we believe they will avail
themselves of the present one, and fill
the large town hall to its utmost ca
pacity. Madame Bishop is assisted by
Mr.. Alfred Wilke, the English tenor,
Mr.. L. &. Gottschalk, baritone, and Mr..
Frank Wilder, a brilliant pianaist. Pre-
pare for rich musical treat.

OLYMPIA.

50 many correspondents have consid-
..lei it their duty TO Give 6" our town IL
kick, since the railroad has thrown dust
i'll their eyes, it is refreshing to find an
exception to the rule. Here is what
a cool, impartial observer writes to the
. Or"yrnion:
Olympia is, beyond i'll successful
contradiction, II beautiful town. This
! impression cannot fail to be made on
the mind of the most superficial OBJ
server. Many OF the private resi-
dcnces are very superior; the cottages
arc exceedingly neat, and the flowers
are abundant and we'll cultivated. The
stores are numerous, well finished and
stocked. The streets are wide, well
laid out and properly lined with ele-
CANT shade-trces. There is not better
made street on this continent than the
Main street of this town, includinga
plank road of half q mile, making the APP
proach to the city. The better classes
are intelligent and refined, and the So
cial and moral tone of society is good.
Day and Sunday schools are numerous.
There are no less than six churches and
five newspapers -two daily and three
wcekly-in town containing 1,SO0
men, women and children.
The Chchalis valley, that trades with
Olympia, is one of the best agricultural
valleys i'll the Territory; the coal fields,
within fifteen miles of the city, are the
most extensive in the Territory, and the
water-power at Tulnwater, not two miles
from Olympia is of great value for man
ufacturing purposes. The water falls
eighty feet in a quarter of mile. Be-
sides being a very romantic and inter-
esting place, it has large tannery, two
flour mills Zone of them has five stoncs)
two saw mills, two sash and door facto-
riest one furniture factory and an ex-
tensive factory for making water and gas
pipes. The demand from Portland and
and San Francisco is beyond the supply.
There is water-power at this place
for more factories. The supply is album
dant the year round. 1t is from the
cold clear waters of this river, that como
direct from the snowy regions Of the
Cascades, that Olympia is abundantly
supplied with the best of water With
such agricultural, manufacturing and
shipping resources rs Olympia possess
es, she has no undue reason to fear any
rivalry on the Sound.
If the Portland merchants were alive
to their interests, they would have u
steamer running to Olympia and the
ports on the Sound once q week mt
least, by which means they could have
a large portion of the trade, or a line
of swift sailing schooners, SO that bust
ness men could depend on having their
orders filled and promptly forwarded.
This is great want for both Portland
and Olympia.

during the present political inaction at

A Female Farmer.

The Prairie Farmcr lately had the
pleasure of interviewing" Miss A, of
illinois, who, for some years past, has
been engaged in carrying on form OF
l2O acres. Her father died, leaving
widow, and. we believe, two daughters
and boy. of whom Miss A was the ED
est, and the boy lad of ten OF a dozen
years old She found the health of her
mother, who was eDdeavoring to mango
the farm with hired help, falling, and con
cluding that she would rather keep her
mother than get an education, she lett
the seminary in 1868 and commenced
farming. The farm at that time consist
ed of eighty acres Of the home farm, about
half of which was in cultivation aud at
a little distance were forty acres more,
all in cultivation The home farm had
pretty good house, but the barn had
recently been burned aud the fences were
not good Twelve acres had been plant
ed to apples of good varieties She had
one horse, and got the loan OF another
from friend, who also aids and is aided
in turn by lending implements. &c She
has now good team of her own raising,
besides horse that does duty in the
market wagon.
She went to work, with the the aid of
her little brother. aud to some extent OF
her mother and sister, who took charge
of the housekeeping She learned to do
all kinds of work. She does not plow

She likes the open air life and out door

Most of the home farm is cultivated IN
corn, though she has eight acres in grass
and twelve in orchard. She raised TWEEN
ty three acres of winter wheat in 1872 =
1t was fine crop. but she lost from three
to 6ve acres from the failure of the man
she had engaged, to cut it in time Even
then. with scarce and inefficient labor,
by that noble class of men that are al

who cannot help themselves, it cost her

Yet she got $50 bushels of wheat, weigh

in 1872, and she sold 100 barrels of SUN

the apples to market herself, selling some
of them as low as seventy FIVE cents per
