PARANAGAT VALLEY.-This beautiful
spot lies 60 miles southwest from here
by way of Bullionville. Reports from
there are of cheering tone. Charley
Heath, the Superintendent of the Hike
mill, contemplates starting up OH the
1st of next month on the richest body OF
ore that has yet been worked. They
are getting out mineral in many places
which will mill $500 to the ton. As water
and mill sites are plenty, and the pros
pect justifies the outlay, we learn that
within short time VIM. Raymond,
Harry Henderson and others will erect
another mill, AS it is, an extensive
force of miners will be put on next
month, to push through the present tun-
mel prospect, and extend developments.
The rains, of which they've had suffi-
cient, tend to make the farmers in the
valley jubilant The crops of wheat and
barley are above ground and doing well,
and much corn has been planted. Garden
vegetables are planted in abundance,
and the outlook is most encouraging.
We learn that many miners from here
will leave for Pahranagat in a few
weeks.

The PRAYER OF AGAssIz. The Chris
lian Union (H. w. Beecher), speaking
of the speech of Prof. Agassiz, at the
opening of the Anderson School of Nat
ural History: says: After few opening
words, felicitously suited to put all their
minds into fellowship, Agassiz said,
tenderly, and with touching frankness:
Think we have need of help. I do
not feel that I can call on any one here
to ask blessing for us. know would
not have any one to pray for US at this
moment I ask you for a moment to
pray for yourselves" Upon this, the
great scientist-in an age when so many
other great scientists have concluded
that praring is quite an unscientific and
very usless proeeeding-bowed his head
reverently; his pupils and friends did
the same; and there, in silence that
was very solemn and beautiful, each
spirit was free to crave of the Great
Spirit the blessing that was needed.
For our own part, it seems to us that
scene of Agassiz and his pupils with
heads bowed IN silent prayer for all the
blessing of the God of Nature to be given
to that school then opened for the study
of Nature, is spectacle for some great
artist to spread out worthily upon can
vas, and to be kept alive in the memo
ries of mankind. Il heralds the coming
of the new heavens and the new earth
the golden age when Nature and Man
shall be reconciled. and the conquests
of truth shall supersedc the conquests
of brute force.

OFFICE OF W. W. l. AS, SEATTLE,

EDITOR DISPATCH: As the Fair is now
rapidly approaching, it is well to keep
the matter before the minds of the peo-
pie, SO that every preparation may be
made which shall render it a success.
The premium lists which are already
published and sent abroad, will enable
every one to know what is expected so
far as competitive prizes are concerned.
Beyond this however, there is very
much may be done to give variety and
add to the interest of the exhibition by
those who have no design to compete.
This may be accomplished in various
ways; by floral exhibits of potted plants,
boquets, vases etc., plates of choice
fr-its, pictures, moses etc.
We trust the ladies of Seattle, and of
King County will not be behind those
of other places in any of those things
jsst mentioned, nor in the furnishing
Of articles showing their handiwork and
housewifery in needlework, Embroidery,
iellies, preserves, butter and bread.
Applications for room where any e1-
tended exhibit is proposed or for accom-
modations for stock should be made at
once specifying what amount of room is
required and for what purpose. These
may be made to me at Seattle, or to A.
A. Manning, Secretary at Olympia.
Parties have already applied for room
varying from five to twenty feet in the
main hall. One applicant asks in addi-
tion to room for vegetables. sufficient
space for forty plates of fruit. These
requests will be attended to in the order
and date of application.
In reference especia y to exhibition
of vegetables I would suggest to Exhib-
itors a method recommended in the
American Agriculturist of January last.
The paper contains a cut of what is
termed tray, which contained fifteen
varieties of vegetables, as exhibited at
the Royal Horticultural Society in Eng
land. which took the first prize. The
tray was made of wood, was four feet
long, two feet wide and two inches deep.
Vegetables may thus be tastefulIy ar
ranged, and thereby add much to the
beauty of the Exhibition. The expense
OF such a tray divided into compart-
ments would be trifling to the Exhibit or,
and save both trouble and confusion to
the managers.

TIMBER STEAL1NG-By the laws of the
United States it is declared misde-
meanor, punishable by fine and impris-
onment, to cut and remove timber from
Government lands. In the face of this
law, upon the assumption that the n.
P. Railroad Co. owned all Of Washing
ton Territory, Gen. John W. Sprague,
under the cover of his position as agent
of the Railroad Co., has carried on
system of spoliation through the means
of permits to loggers to cut and remove
timber from public lands to which the
Company had not acquired and never
can acquire title, the lands being outside
the range of railroad lands embraced in
the route and terminus of the road.
From this source large sums OF money
have been realized by Sprague, but
whether applied to his own use. or to
the use of the Land Ring or Railroad
Co., both of which be represents, is not
known to the public, nor does it matter;
it is enough to krow that crime has
been committed and that the author
stands revealed. The Federal authori-
ties have, OF may have on call, abund-
ant proof to convict Sprague of selling
timber upon Government lands, to q
LARGE amount, to which he had no shad-
ow of title or claim. Capt. Tuttle, o.
S, Timber Agent, Gen. Stevens, Attor-
ney and Agent for Gen. Spraguc, and
many others are cognizant of these
facts, and if Mr.. Wipgard, the U. S.

dom to his testimony, the Judge began
to nod, and soon his head rested upon
the dry goods box, and he peacefully
slumbered until he was aroused to swear
the next witness. Having sworn the
witness, his head again found its old
resting place, and be was soon az sound
asleep as before. Thus the trial pro
eeeded. the Judge being aroused to
swear each witness and falling asleel
while their testimony was b.ing given.
At length the witnesses had all testified.
and the Judge was aroused and told
that the evidence was all in. BE look
ed solemnly around the room and said:
81 have never before seen a case where
there was so great preponderence on
both sides. The Judgment of this court,
therefore, is, that if the defendant will
pay the costs of this ccnrt he can take
the horse; but if the defendant will not
pay the costs of this court and take the
horse. and the plaintiff is willing to pay
the costs of this court and take the horse
he can have the horse; but if neither
the plaintiff nor defendant are willing
pay the costs of this court and take
the horse then this court will herself
take the horse" The defendant claim
ed the privilege of paving costs. he hav-
ing already sold the horse for Sl45, and
again everything was lovely, and Judge
Smokey made tracks for his favorlte sa

WHAT CONSTITUTES A CITY? The res>
olution of the Board of Directors of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, designa-
ted the terminus of the road on Puget
Sound as "the city of Tacoma" This
is fraud upon the public in keeping
with many other transactions by the
same organization of similar device.
There is no such city upon Puget Sound.
A city is collective body of Inhabitants
corporated and governed by Mayor
and Alderman. The place selected for
the terminus by the Land Ring, was a
dense forest at the time, without one
inhabitant, ard is now being surveyed
and cleared with the view of bringing it
into market as town property. To des-
ignate it as city was an attempt at de
ception-to sell the property under false
pretenses, of the same grads of morality
as Peter Funk and mock auctions which
are suppressed by the police in all we'll
regulated cities. To such base devices
do the Land Ring which controls the N.
P. Railroad resort to sell their worthless
wildcat stock and defraud innocent
purchasers.

CALIFORNIA ELECTIoN.-The returns
of the California election indicate that
the Legislature will be about equally
divided between the Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Independents, with not less
than two-thirds majority against Rail-
road, which was the chief issue in the
contest. For U. S. Senator, George c.
Gorham is the straight Republican and
Railroaa candidate, Gov. Booth the
candidate of the Independents, and Sen
stor Casserly Of the Democrats, with
the chances in favor of Booth, and go
show for Gorham; though it is impos-
sible to predict what may come out of
the triangular fight.

THE DA1LY.-With this number we
commence the second year and third
volume of the DAILY DISPATCH. This
publication was not undertaken with any
view to pecuniary gain, as we well knew
it involved cost greater than any pc
cuniary remuneration we could reason
ably expect from it, and it has not dis
appointed our expectations in this par
ticular. But with that local pride which
we ever feel in the prosperity and sue
cess of the community with which our
fortunes are associated. we have perse-
vered in tie undertaking and mean to
continue it, only wishing that our means
were adequate to making a better and
more presentable paper. In one thing
We have distanced all competition--It
is the only paper in Washington Terri
tory which takes and pays for daily tel
egraphic dispatches, and if the business
men of Seattle appr sciated this advan-
tage at its full value, our paper would
be much better sustained, which would
enable US to make other improvements
for the public benefit. We have, how
ever, nothing to complain of, and shall
our disposal.

The TYRANY OF MoNoPoLY.-From
Mr.. Anderson, a highly respectable
farmer residing in this county, we learn
the following facts, which gives us a
touch of the quality of the N. P. Rail
road:
Mr.. Anderson bought thrashing ma
chine at Portland, and shipped it by
way of Kalama anl the Railroad to Te-
nino, and bargained with Mr.. Tully, a
teamster at Olympia, to convey it from
Tenino to Olympia for $12. and with
Capt Wright, Of the steamer Zephyr. to
convey it from Olymdia to Seattle for
Shrinking ST for freight from Tenino
to Seattle. The freight agent of the
railroad at Tenino refused to deliver the
machine to Mr.. Tully, but gave it to
George Coggan, who runs freight in
connection with the railroad, and Cog
gan delivered it to the steamer North Pa
cific, at Olympia. The machine arrived
here subject to S55 charges for freight
$25 from Tenino to Olympia and $50
from Olympia to Seattle making diff
ference of $3S to Mr.. Anderson, which
was levy upon him by the arbitrary
action of the railroad authorities. This
is but Que of the many like transactions
which show our people how little JUS
tice they can expect from monopoly
under the control of carpet-bag adven-
turers who have no respect for the
rights of the settlers.

A PARALLEL.-On of the stories con-

A PARALLEL.-One of the stories con-
nected with the first dawn of the Chris
ton era, fan iliar to every school boy in
Chrisendom, is of the man who sold his
Master for thirty pieces of silver. The
moral and physical conditions of the
man are clearly portrayed by his acts.
That he was glutton, is illustrated by
the fact that his hand was ever first in
the common dish; that he was avaricious
by the fact that he carried the money
bag, and censured the devoted woman
who poured the precious ointment upon
the head of the Savior. for not selling
it and putting the money in the Treas
ury; that he was an obeses unctiou and
oleagenous hyporate, by the fact that
when he hanged himself he fell down
and his bowels gushed out. We not
unfreqnently meet men at the present
