A GoaT's EXPLOIT. retired clergy
man sends the Danbury Ne,os an account
of little affair that happened in his
place. 1t appears that there was a young
woman, fine spirited girl, engaged at a
wash-tub, opposite an open door. just
behind her was q young man, as is ger
orally the case, and in the yard was an
old buck that was given the freedom of
the premises, which is not always the
case, we ale glad to say. Well, this
buck came up to the door and looked in,
and the young man going close behind
the young woman, pointed lis finger
straight at the buck, and the old fellow
recognizing at once the pressing charac-
ter of this mute invitation, put down
his head and dashed forward, and the
miserable man stepped one side and fled
and the young woman, all unconscious
of the arrangements received the awful
shock without warning and passed over
the tub, and the air for an instant ap-
peared to be full of slippers, and wet
clothes, and hot water and suds. And
the next minute that goat came flying
ort of that door at q d, 0adful speed,
bald the whole length Of his spine, and
with wild look in his eye. And for au
hour afterward he stood behind the barn.
scratching his chin, ard trying to recall
all the circumstances in the unfortunate
affair.

COMPENSATION. I do not believe that
man always passes, in the long run,
for what he is worth. 1t seems to me a
hard saying. The vision that the poet
or painter transcribes and leaves a joy
and wonder to all time, may. believe
have come all the same to some poor,
unlettered man, who lacking the exter-
nal faculty, SO to speak, could not lay it
in all its glorious shape and color on the
canvass, or catch and hold it in the fast
ness of immortal verse. No, cannot
give up my comfortable faith. that in
other words and far-off ages there will
appear shining multitude. who shall,
through death, have come to themselves.
and have found expression denied them
on earth; beautiful souls, whose bodies
were their prisons who stammered or
stood dumb among their kind, bearing
along the sights and disgraces of for une,
and all tine while conscious, in their
dread isolation, OF being peers of the
poets and the kings, and of all the royal
men and women of the world Alice

AMONG THE INp1ASs.-A company

AMONG THE INDIANs.-A company OF
prospectors from Denver recently re-
turned from an extensive tour through
the mountain ranges, going as far west
as the boundary line between Colorado
and Utah. They went a long distance
into the Indian region, and were COM
PEELED to accept the hospitalities of the
Indians for several days. The meals
they had here are described by the Den :
yer Tribune as follows: "A dirty old
squaw puts about two pounds of Indian
meal into a large receptacle, which
stands in the middle of the lodge over
q fire. This she mikes with water, us
ing her hand and bare arm to stir the
mush. When it is sufficiently cooked
all the company sit around the pot, and
each Indian and squaw dips the two
fore fingers into it, and after stirring it
around, licks the hand and repeats the
operation. The Denver prospectors
were compelled to do as their hosts did,
or 90 without any food at all.

Washington dispatches of the 13ih'
furnish the following:
In answer to numerous inquiries from
all parts of the country. it is Of interest
to say that the proposed reduction on
postage to two cents single rate failed
and the existing rate of three cents con-
tinues.
It's generally supposed that the clause
requiring payment of newspaper post
age ut the Office of publication was en-
grated on the Postal Appropriation bill.
This is erroneous. and the present rule
requiring prepayment at the Office OF
delivery remains in force.

THE BEEcHER BRoTHERs.-The New
York Star discourses of the two Beechers
as follows:
Edward is ultra orthodox, full of hell
and birthstone, and all that sort of thing,
Henry is Independent. and breaches ex-
clusively the doctrine of love to God
and love to man. Edward is a great
stickler for points of theory. Henry is
rather loose in theory, but firm in prac-
-tice. Edward writes a careful, logical
discourse. Henry flashes a series of
brilliant illustrations which light up the
path of daily life. On the whole our
neighbor is ont of his reckoning. We
back the Express on all matters of Epis-
ccpacy, and often crib its sage reflections.
but on this Beecher business it is like its
old friend Noble, still barking at the
hole, although Henry isn't there.

The Secretary of the Navy publishes

she Naval Academy. for promotions in

years of service in the Navy, in addition
to the service in the Naval Academy.

and according to actual length of ser
vice, the Chief Engineer having the
same rank as the Medical and Pay Di-
rectors and Inspectors, and shall, when
at sea, have the same pay.

FUNERAL RITES OF FRoNTIERsMEN.-
Bishop Vale, of Kansas, tells a little tale
that illustrates foIcibly the free-and-
easy way of the frontiersmen, and the
scant ceremony with which his funeral
services are conducted: "In one little
graveyard where. happened to be walk
ing, said the bishop, "there were ~
graves, and my informant. who dis
charged the office of undertaken. told
rue that the occupants of 26 of them
were killed in affrays, or, as he pithlly
expressed it, died and were buried ultt
their boots on" Thetwenty-seventh was

ANOTHER STORY OF THE WAR.-The

dress, on Monday. January Goth, in
commemoration of General Robert E.
Lees birthday DIR. Pendleton, it will
be remembered. was General Lees class
mate at West Point. his Chief CT Artil
lery during, and his Pastor after the war.
We copy portion of the sketch:
1t does not lie in the purpose of this
notice even to outline this historical ora
ton, but it will not be out of place to
record one or two facts in connection
with the la.s war.
In alluding to General Longsseet's
long and unexplained delay in attacking
at Gettysburg, the speaker spoke of him
as the sturdy soldier" He showed.

tiyity was fatal. The ground had been
examined the evening previous by Gen.
Pendleton at the desire of General Lee,
and I.ongstreet was ordered to attack at
daylight. Lee waited with glass in hand.
hour by hour, dispatebing orders to
move, and finally weht himself. The
attack began in the evening Instead of
at dawn. If made ct sunrise. the Con-
f4derates, as the world now knows,
would have won great victory. great
victory there would have put the South
ern army in Philadelphia and Washing
ton.
As to the evacuation of Richmond.
General Lee was convinced that it could
not be held with Grants great army
stretching beyond Petersburg. Hecom-
mitted his purpose to leave and form a
junction with the Southern army under
Johnston, to General Pendleton, and
the latter went so far as to mobilize the
artillery of the army. The Confederate
Congress considered the evacuation of
Richmond as the end of the Confeder
aey. Gen. Lee yielded obedience to the
civil authorities.
When Burnside's men were repulsed
and driven back, followed by the Con-
federatss across the plain at Fredericks-
burg, the officers near General Lee be-
gan cheering lustily; he watched the pur-
suit with interest, remarking: cit is
well war is so dreadful, or we should
grow fond of it,"

Incorporation.

The Merchants Transportation Co
last week. filed with the Secretary of the
Territory, a certified copy of incorpora-
tion, to run steamships between the
several towns on Puget Sound and the
City Of San Francisco. Capital $780,
zoo, divided into 1000 Shares at 800
eaeh.
The Trustees are:- Capt. james S.
Dawson. r. G.. O'Brien, S. w. Percival,
b. B. Tuttle, of Olympia; John Lath-
am, of Steilacoom; Thos. S. Russell, J.
r. Robbins and T. A. Wright, f: Sc
at.le; and D. C. H. Rothschilds of Port
Townsend.
We hope to see our citizens subscrib-
ing literally for Stock, when the sub
scription books are open, whiek will be
ina few days.
The advantages to be gained by SO
doing, will be readily seen by every
merchant who receives goods from be-
low. The saving in time; in inter est;
and in freight, besides the profits de-
rived by having the goods in the market
IN season. will amply compensate
even taking the necessary funds from
their business, for the time being.
We will say that merchant pays for
freight, during year. from $500 to
$1,000. That money is carried away,
end its circulating benefits We are de-
prived of entirely. 1t is tribute, that
we must, under the present order of
things. pay, and have paid, to corpora
tions and monopolies. whose interests
are not among rs, and who care but for
the money they can get from us.
The result is, an expectation of from
fifty to one hundred thousand dollars
yearly, that sHoUID and CAN be retained
in our midst, by the merchants aad busi-
ness men generally, combining and run
ming line Of Steamships III their own
interests, making it cooperating in
stitution, and in due season, receive
again as dividend, the monies paid out
for freight, and thus retain for circula-
ton at home the vast amounts that are
yearly exported to enrich, and do en-
rich corporations. whose every interest
is foreign to our own.
We have reason to believe that Seattle
alone, will take from three to four hun
dred shares of the Stock of the Com
pany, and thus secure the success of an
enterprise so beneficial to every Que of
her citizens.
