SEATTLE RAILROAD TRUSTEES. From

pAaring rs Trustees of the new railroad
organization. it may give it the appear
ance to outsiders of being mere local
affair. claimed exclusively by Seat e.
We can assure all that nothing of the
kind is intended. The exigencies Of
the occasion demanded immediate action
in order To secure To this enterprise the
laige amount rendered as subsidy to
the Northern Pacific Railroad, and this
could only be done by an incorporated
company presenting practical alierna-
tive which would meet the popular de-
mand. No time was left i'll which to
procure the cooperation Of outside pal-
ties. and to facilitate matters it was II
necessity to have II quorum Of the
Board available for constant action un
til the project was reduced to working
order. ALI the present Trustees nc
cepted the position with the distinct
understanding that the place was to be
surrendered to whoever might be- select
ed from any other place. Whenever it
Was deemed for the best interests of the
company to dn SO. We make this ex-
plana,lon. rot because Of any dlssatis-
faction with the present Board for our
p pile now present u united front--but
to .vert any cause Of jealousy elsew here.
Inc fact is fully recognized that the
people Of Walla Walla are no less inter-
ested in .hIs enterprise than a.e the
people Of Seattle. aud that there is no
place in Eastern Washington aud Ore

perhaps the speculative town Of Tncn-

able, as showing the country during the
first century of our national existence"
This subject itself is worthy of special
message, not simply in view of the vir
tualI " pledged faith of the Government
in making the Centennial a national af
fair, but 10 the light of the earnest pre-
parations Of foreign governments Ger
many has already moved in the matter
by placing the selection of her commits
sioners to Philadelphia on July /, 1876.
in the hands of Prince Bismarck Eng
land has indicated her desire in the same
direction and the Emperor of Brazil has
proclaimed his lively personal interest in
the American Centennial. The Presi-
dent himself in the opening paragraph
of his message, lays marked emphasis on
the good results that have followed our
representation at the Vienna Exposi
ton, and directs attention to the report of
the agent Of the Patent Office on the sub
ject.
With a candor that we cannot suh
ciently admire, the President shoulders
the responsibility Of a bold endorsement
of the system of public Improvements in
the District of Columbia He refers to
the shameful condition Of Washington
City three years ago and to its beautiful
aspect to day, and calls upon Congress to
act literally towards the local authorities
as well because Washington is the Ma
tional Capital as because the Government
has large and valuable reserves In that
ten miles square. This decided approval
of the course of Governor Shepherd aud
his associates will be good news to the
people of Washington.
Taken as whole, the message is SEN
sble and satisfactory, full of strong points
we'll put, and exactly the statement that
will give to foreigineers fair insight in
to our progress and tempt the citizen to
turn to it for information.

Scene in an Opium Shop.

One who has never visited an opium
shop can have 10 conception of the fatal
fascination that holds its victims fast
bound-mind, heart, soul, and conscience,
all absolutely dead at every impulse but
the Unsuitable, ever increasing thirst for
the damning poison. | catered one OF
these deus but once, but [ can never for
get the terrible sights aud sounds of that
place of torment" The apartment was
spacious, and might have been pleasant,
but for its foul odors aud still fouer
scenes of unutterable woe-the foot Priats
of siu trodden in the furrows of those hag
gard faces and emaoiated forms. On all
four sides Of the room were cOuches plac
ed tbickly against the walls, and others
were scattered over the apartment wher
ever there was room for them. Ga each
of these lay extended the wreck OF what
was once man. Some few were old
all were hollow eyed, with sunken cheeks
and cadaverous countenances many were
clothed in rags, having probably smoked
away their last dollar while others were
Offering to pawn their only decent gar
ment for an additional does Of the deadly
drug. a decrepit old man raised himself
as we entered, drew long sigh, and then,
with a half uttered imprecation on his
own folly, proceeded to refill his pipe.
This he did by scrapiug off, with five
inch steel needle, some opium from the
lid of tiny she'll, box, rolling the paste
into pill, and, then, after heating it in
the blaze of lamp, deposit it within the
snail aperture of his pipe. Several short
whffs followed then the-smoker would
remove the pipe from his mouth and lie
back motionless then replace the pipe,
and with fast glazing eyes blow the smoke
slowly through his pallid nostris As
rhe narcotic effects of the opium began to
work he fell back on the couch in state
OF silly stupefaciion that was alike pitable
and disgusting. Another smoker, mere
youth, lay with face buried in his hands.
and as he lifted his head there was look
of despair such as | have seldom seen
Though so young, he was complete wreck.
with hollow eyes, sunkeD chest, and ner
vOus twitching in every muscle spoke
to him, and learned that six months be
fore he had lost his whole patrimouy
by gambling, and came hither to quaff
lorgetlulness from these Lethean cups
hoping, he said, to find death as well as
oblivion BY far the larger proportion Of
the smokers were so entirely under the
influence Of the stupefying poison as to
preclude any attempt at conversation, and
we passed out from this moral pest house
sick at heart as we thought of these in
fatuated victims of selfindulgence and
their starving families at home. This
baueful habit once formed, is seldom Civ
Gu up, and from three to five years 10
diligence will utterly wreck the firmest
constitution, the frame becoming daily
more emaciated, the eyes more suuken,
and the eountenance more cadaverOus,
till the brain ceases to perform its func
tions, and death places its seal on the
wasted ile-LippincoH's Magazine.
