VOLUNTEER ADVICE The venerable
ard yeracieus editor of the Tacoma Tri
bune volunteers lecture to the people
of Seattle, occupying over column of
his valuable paper. After highly COM
mending the~ecsrgy and enterprise of
the people, albeit misdirected by the
influence of bad advisers, he closes with
the following oracular admoni;ion, which
must necessarily command great respect
on account of the disinterested source
from whence it emenates:
''It is not too late for the people of
Seattle to redeem their town by right
direction of their efforts. They possess
a wonderful degree of energy, which.
properly guided, is capable of great
achievements. Let them, then, counsel
together, turn deaf ear to the present
advisers, adopt new plans for the fn-
ture, and their efforts will result in
building up wealthy and populous
city without the aid of railroad, of
which there is now no hope for many
years -
The people of Seattle fully appreciate
the kind and disinterested motives which
prompted this gratuitous advice, but
fail to comprehend its wisdom. They
cannot see by any fact within their own
observation. that their town is in such
desperate condition as to require re-
demption. They have not lost anything,
suffered no depreciation of property val
ues, nothing in the diminution of trade,
and no check to public improvements,
or to the growth or prosperity of the
town by the temporary location of the
terminus at Tacoma, and, as is admitted,
the energy and enterprise of the people
remain unimpaired, and the results of
their efforts have thus far been entirely
satisfactory to themselves, however un
satisfactory they may be to their enc
mics. It is certain that cattle still
maintains its commercial supremacy on
the Sound, is in the possession
of more natural advantages than any
rival point, that property values are
much higher than at Tacoma, and that
ten capitalists are seeking investments
here to every one investing in Tacoma.
As to our railroad prospects, we know
ef no one here who sees anything dis
couraging in the outlook; especially
when the President of the n. 2. Il. L.
is soliciting propositions from our citi,
zens to extend the road to this place
upon terms entirely within their own

That he prays, we know, because We
have heard him do it; but that praying
IS evidence of hypocrisy, is conclusion
which it was hardly decent for the sons

their home experiences may have con-

however, that Col. Kemble in his moral

ing to furnish a reason for it." The
charges of Irregularities which Kemble
had himself discovered by personal
examination of the books and vouchers,
compared with the purchases and dis
bursements, were specifically made and
served upon Milroy in writing. giving
him ample time before his removal to
refute the same, which he failed to do,
relying upon his party influence to sus
tain him in acts of peculation to which
custom had given the sanction of "le-
gitimate stealing" The Office which
Col. Kemble held was created ostensibly
to correct and reform this very charac-.
ter of abuses, which had been the scan
dal Of the Indian Department every
where. The manner in which he entered
upon the discharge of his daties, and
the thorough business manner in which
he conducted them, without parade or
ostentation. manifestly free from party
or personal bias, and so evidentlo intent.
on doing that, and that only, which
would best promote the public veal,
elected tho admiration and conf
dence of all scognizant of his course
who sincerely desired a reform of the
civil service. He made Nc war and
exhibited no prejudice against "our
people, for he had only TO deal with
the Irregularities of 'carpet-bag Office
holders. He bore cheerful testimony to
tho honest and efficient management of
every Reservation under the control of
al Agent who was citizen of tie Ter
ritory at the time of his appointment;
in removing Milroy for continuing the
same practices and retaining the same
employees for which his predecessor was
removed, he appointed to take charge
of the Office an old settler. Of whom
ninestenths of the citizens of the Terri
tory will join in saying, that aside from
party considerations it was a selection
which conferred the highest credit upon
Col. Kemble's sagacity and sincerity of
purpose.
With the party view of this matter we
have no concern; all ergsgrd in the
controversy, including Mr.. Blinn, are
professed supporters of the Administra-
ton; but sincerely sympathlzing with
tie measure of civil service reform to
which all parties now stand pledged, We
deem it our public duty to bear testimo-
ny to the honesty and capacity with
which Col. Kemble has discharged the
delicate and highly responsible duties

A Tame Herrfng-GulI.

A clergyman in County Tyrone, Ire
land, thus records his observations of
the habits of tame herring-gu in his
possession; "He is now 2 years old,
having been taken from the nest,
pinioned, and kept in garden until
last Spring, when / brought him into
the fowl-yard, where he took up with
the poultry. He was at first rather
shy, and screamed whenever they Bp-
preached him, but now he has become
bolder, and is able to beat the turkey
cock, seizing him by the tail. Tn fact,
he has quite cowed the fowl. His food
is rather peculiar; being naturally a
lover of fish and worms. he seems to
have lost his taste for the former. j
may here observe, as it has been often
said that gulls keep gardens free from
slugs, that this bird would not look at
one, though they were offered to him
continually. He threw them about
with his beak, which he washed imme-
diately, showing his utter disgust. His
favOrite food is the inside of rats and
mice, which he dissects nicely, leaving
only the skin: he also eats whatever is
given to the fowls, picking up the grains
of corn which are scattered for them.
His latest performance is to catch spar
rows, which he kills and swallows
whole; his way of catching them is
like cat /; crouching down, he silently
pounces on his victim, which he imme-
diately kills, holding it by the neck and
shaking it violently. He is partial to
eggs, devouring them whenever an
opportunity presents itself."

How sUme Men BseOme Rich.

We make the following extract from
the recent lecture of the celebrated
biographer, Mr.. James Parton, on
"Kings of Business. The house of
Isaac Rich Il Co., of Boston, is now the
leading house in the fish trade of that
city. and has reputation for fair and
honorable dealing co-extensive with the
Continent.
Isaac Rich, who left a million and
three quarters a year or two ago to
found a college in Boston, began busi-
ness thus: "At eighteen he came from
Cape Cod to Boston with S3 or 81 in
his possession, and looked about for
something to do, rising early, walking
Tar, observing closely, rejecting much.
Soon he had an idea. He bought three
bushels OF oysters, hired wheelbarrow
found a piece of board, bought six
small plates, six iron forks, three cent
pepper box, and one or two other
things. He was at the oyster boat
buying his oysters at three o'clock in
the morning, wheeled them three miles.
set up his board near a market and
began business. He sold ont his oys-
ttto as insi 40 iic SOuiu OpCh tAcAi, az N
good profit. He repeated this expert
ment morning after morning until he
had saved Sl30, with which he bought
a horse and wagon, and had five cents
left.
"How are you going to board your
horse?" asked stable-keeper, who had
witnessed this audacious transaction.
81 am going to board him at your
stable"
.But you're a minor" replied this
acute Yankee. Sand mind, / can't
trust you more than a week"
The next morning the lad, who had
established a good credit with the
oystermen, bought thirteen bushels of
remarkable fine oysters, which he sold
in the course of the day at a profit of
S17. So he was able to pay for his
horses board. And right there in the
same market he continued to deal in
oysters and fish for forty years, became
king of that business, and ended by
founding a college, thus affording Q
new illustration of Prof. Agassiz's the
ory that the consumption of fish is ser
viceable to the brain.

Songs Of Society.

1t is unjust to suppose that people
does not possess thing because its
language has no name for it. Perhaps
the French, like their language, know
not "home"-perhaps the Romans, like
the Latin, could not imagine the exist
ence of such thing as "female friend
but certainly we English-speakers can
suffer from ''ennui" without being able
to give it an exact equivalent in our
own tongue. Certain it is that we have
no word in English for what the French
call rers de societte, and yet, with the
possible exception of the French, there
is no literature as rich in these most de-
lightful of poems. Pope, Prior, Praed,
Swift, Sucking, Frere, Byron, Moore,
Thackeray, Landor. Locker, Sake, Hal
leck, and Holmes have all written Uers
de societte-and written them well-yet
for their witty verse we have no native
name. 1t will not do to translate the
French name, and call them ''society
verses ;" true, Uers de sOciete are
worthy Of far better title than that.

InsOlent Manners.

A naughty tone, a rude address
bruises no muscles, causes no physical
pains like the pangs of hunger or the
misery of draught but it hurts all the
same and if, as the proverb says, hard
words break no bones, they none the
less wound that sels-esteem which lies at
the root of half onr sentimental griev-
ances. Subordinates feed this domi-
neering insolence of manner great
grievances when they are subject to it
SO do sufferers when they have to en-
counter the pertness Of those whom
they consider their interiors. But the
grievance in either case is based on ex-
actly the grounds, and to those who re-
gard the physical as the sole real thing
in life ought to count for nothing

"DiamOnd Cut Diamond

A very comical conclusion to a very
ordinary theft took place in Paris re-
Gently. A sneak thief entered a gentle
means of false keys, and proceeded to
ransack drawers and closets in search
of valuables. To his disgust, he found
neither jewels, money, nor any portable
valuables SO he finally concluded to
treat himself to new suit of clothes.
Accordingly, he selected a nice outfit,
including shiIts, stockings, and under
wear, laid them out on the bed, and
proceeded to remove his own garments.
Just as he got to the critical point,
when his own clothes were off and the
new ones were not on, he heard some
one open the outer door of the apart
ment. He scrambled under the bed in
all haste, and while lying periu there
he heard the new conner prowling round
the room, opening drawers, etc, and
finally heard him depart. He then
crept out, but what was his horror to
find that the second individual had been
a brother thief, and that not only the
clothes he had been about to put on
were gone, but his own suit as we'll.
While he was in the midst of search
for some other garment, he was again
by the opening of door, and
this time he popped into a closet. This
last arrival proved to be the owner of
the apartment, who, finding his furni-
ture in disorder and his wearing apparel
gone, proceeded to search for the male
factor, and soon discovered the poor,
criminal in the closet. He
summoned the police and gave him into
custody, and the unfortunate fellow
was conveyed to the station-house,
wrapped in blanket, and piteously
declaring that he had stolen nothing
that, on the contrary. he had been
robbed, basely robbed, OF all his cloth

Popular k'ieiiOns.

The human mind is so constituted
that it loves to trace great effects to
simple causes but in the endeavor so
to explain momentous events it often
displays a clinging devotion to fables
that is really touching. Take, for ex-
ample the first great fire in Chicago.
What numbers of guileless people
believe, and will ever believe, that
the fire was caused by the widow Malo-
ney's COW, which, lndulging fractions
impulse, kicked over lamp in its hum
BILE stall, setting fire to the surround
Ing straw. and thus eventually desola-
ting the city. OF course, this interest
ing little fiction has frequently been
contradicted, but that makes no differ
ence. The COW has been accepted as
the heorine of the occasion, and its
loyal adherents have little patience with
gainsaying Investigators. The remark
able COW, whose hind legs excrted such
controlling influence on the destinies
of the western metropolis, has been ex-
hibited by several enterprising show
men ; and it will, no doubt, continue to
be exhibited Occasionally in two or
more places at one time) for many years
to come. The extraordinary care be-
slowed upon it will. of course, account
for its unusual longevity. A silent
story was also readily seized on as ac-
counting for the more recent fire. We
were told that the confagration was
caused by Polish Jew, who set fire to
his house in order TO obtain an insu-
rance which he had effected on some of
his goods. 1t is now positively af-
firmed, after thorough investigation,
that the said Jew was loser by the fire,
and that his insurance was not equal to
a months rent. Nevertheless, we have
a misgiving that the Polish Jew will be
adhered to, and will inherit frame CO.
extensive with that of the widow Malo-
ney's COW.
