THEArEcM.-Fanny Morgan Phelps
Company performed in Columbia Hall
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, be-
fore fair and appreciative audiences.
The play the first night was "Milky
White" and farce as an afterpieco,
with an intellude of song, by Miss Nor
gan and Mr.. Barrows. On the second
occasion, "The Actress by Daylight"
and Barney the Baron" were admira-
bly, rendered, tho leading parts being
assumed by Mrs. Phelps, Miss Nor
gan and Mr.. Barrows. Theperformanccs
throughout were crcditable to the man
agement. Mrs. Phelps has improved
wonderfully since we last witnessed her
representations, about five years ago,
and she has secured valuable support in
her charming sister, who, although but
a novice on the boards, possesses talent
of high order. The singing of the sis
ters is worthy of special commentator
and on every occasion was loudly en-
cored. The company appear in Port
land tonight, where doubtless they
will receive cordial greeting.

TIE "PoUND OF FLESH. 1T is sur
prising what an amount of dignity can
be infused into the exercise of little
"brief authority" by some men. The
senior Councilman Of the second ward
is an illustration of this fact. The the
atrical company few days ago, con-
tracted for the use of Columbia Hall,
'cih The Hall Committee, two nights, for
the sum of 500 coin, and not until the
second performance was about to COM
mence, were they informed that, through
the hostility of this redoubtable Coun-
Gilman of tho Second ward, the price
had been increased to SIS per night,
the amount charged years ago fer sin
gle performances, when times woro
flush and money plentiful. If it is any
consolation to the penny-wise individ-
ual who perpetrated the wrong, that
he exacted his "pound of flesh," he is
welcome to all the glory it sheds upon
the illustrous career. The people how
ever, should consider whether they can
afford to sustain such an unwise policy.
Since Wilson's circus was compelled to
perform outside the corporate limits,
by the attempted extortion of q Board
of which Mr.. McElroy was the controll-
ing spirit, showmen have given our
town a wide berth. Tho prejudice is
not likely to be removed by the mi
serly conduct of the authorities" in
this instance.

The SUBSTITUTE FOR BUTTER FAIL
URE.-The San Francisco Bulletin of the
7th says: "The attempt to introduce
the manufacture of Oleomargarine in
this market has not been attended with
success. The leading butter men of
the city would have nothing to do with
the enterprise, being satisfied that there
was not enough money in it for risks as
sumed. At the same time they were
not fully satisfied with the character of
the article made. Other capitalists were
induced to commence the same bust
ness, but they have since retired with
dearly-bought experience, and yesterday
the entire fixtures of the company,
which cost some 81 900, were sold un-
der the auctioneer's hammer for less
than $500. 1t is claimed that the
trouble about the patent caused the ces-
sation in manufacture. Apart from
this, we fear the business cannot be
made success here at present. There
is to much competition from the old
fashioned sources. Besides, Califor-
mans are not yet reduced to the strait
of using tallow for butter.

Why IS Ir?-The Dispatch says of
the second railroad picnic, held, on the
line of the Seattle and Walla-walla
Railroad, that "none of the business
houses of Seattle were closed; very few
of the business men took any active
part in the affair; but the mechanics,
laboring men and small property hold
ers, together with many farmers from
the country, responded to the call nobly,
and full as much work, with a much
smaller force, was accomplished rs OF
the previous turn out" That is quite
different from the action of our Nor
chants and traders. Nearly every place
of business is closed on all field days,
and some of our merchants handle the
spade and pick as deity as could Paddy
Malloy.

RINE, -Budd Smith was in town

BUTTrRINE,-Budd Smith was in town
few days ago exhibiting his patent
churn, with the view of disposing of his
patent right, or churns to the best adj
vantage. We witnessed the process
OF making Butterine, as it is termed,
but cannot say that we were very
favorably impressed with the results.
Tho churn consists of several compart-
ments made principally of zinc, fitting
into each other, and copper wires ex-
tend longitudinally through one of the
inner compartments, which the inventor
claims creates galvanic current and
greatly assists the process of churning.
a base is used of ordinary butter to
which is added the yolks of eggs and
milk. The temperature of this mixture
was raised by pouring hot water into an
outer compartment, when the churning
commenced. In minute or two the
mass was turned out, resembling slush
more than anything else, and found to
weigh about third more than the roll
of butter placed in the churn. The
invention may be all that is claimed for
it, but we doubt it, as we'll as the prin-
ciple upon which it is claimed to oper-
ate. The doubt is grounded upon more
than the very unsatisfactory operation
and product at the exhibition Tuesday
night. If Mr.. Smiths invention is all
that is claimed for it, and if he is re-
ceiving fabulous revenues from it in one
or two cities in the East, why is it that
he does not seek the best market for it's
introduction, in the large dairy dis
tricts of the Middle and Western States :?
Why is he wasting his time with our
sparse but wide awake population, if
as he affirms he has the world by the
seat of tho brooches. Sensible mon
will test the process fully before invest
ing in it.

AS SEEN THROUGH GLASSES.

We exhibit below n specimen brick
from the Dispd'ch'S intellectual mine, t"
give our readers an idea Of its fincness
AMI purity. 1t is perhaps necessary to
state that by the term General the
judge means lis, a civility we prize very
highly, coming from the distinguished
source it docs. The Judges position
in politics is not sound, however, viewed
from any rointin his journalistic career,
extending over some thirty or forty years
Immediately preceding the great rebel
lion. That it was wrong during the
war is proven by his uttcranccs now. if
not by frequent expressions of popular
sentiment during that time. Now we
differ with the Judge somewhat i'll these
matters. We would prefer to ride any
number of horses to turning summer
sault backwards. A plunge from a hot
to cold bath sets the animal spirits
aglow, and this probably accounts for
LIS CAuDtTdllCe Oh uliuHtI.
But wereally do not expect the Judge
to take kindly to woman suffrage. 1t
is not in the nature of things that he
should The woman movement on
which he staked his fondest hopes and
aspirations, in fact itmay be even called
he central point on which the whole
Southern Confederacy hung its destiny
Mr.. Davis's petticoats-- resulted so
lisastrously that we cannot cxpectanv-
body who mourns over the lost cause can
behold the flutter of calico garments UNI
dismayed.
But here is the spccims,,, which
supplements an Announcement OF the an
nual election of officers by the Thurston
County Woman Suffrage Association:
From thistrving ordeal, where "ten women
laid hold of one man." the General repaired
to the temperance meeting and made "a speech
commencing women suffrage as the very
thing and the only thing, to solve the tenn
perance problem and cure all the social evils
which afllict society in this corrupt age hold
ing III 1Of tnc nOncc as paramount 10 inc res
torati0n of the Democratic party to power.
Now Bro. Gale. himself a woman sutfragst
is desperately jealous of the Generals popu-
larity with the sisters and in his spite has
characterized him as a "bigOted son of Bach
u.s." whereupon Gunn--who don't go cent
on temperance or woman suflrage--chips in
with the question: " Is Gale right. or Murphy
trying. to ride two horses?" We would not
suspect Murphy of attempting the unwo-
manly feat of riding two horses; while we re-
collect how Indignantly he repealed the accu-
sation of riding one. We can't help suspect
ing. however, from certain givings-out, that
Like the immortal Captain Cottle,
"lIes all for the women and little for the
bottle
Tho lager beer bottle, we mean; nothing
stronger. Nowas thisis dayOf compromises
and alliances, why cannot Gale and Murphy
meet upon common ground and cooperate
for the mutual advancement of women md
temperance which both have so much at
heart? Let Murphy lead the strong-minded
women and Gale the wcak-mindcd men,
while Gum remains neutcr; then they will
all be in their proper sphere and harmony
must prevail.

TOO TRUE.

The Seattle Dispatch commends our
article of last week on journalism, and
adds: eff retrenchmcnt in public ex-
penses is demanded, the demagogues
invariably commence, and generally end
with cutting down the beggarly pay OF
their printer to starvation rates. If n
publisher eXhausts his resources in
bringing his party into power in coun-
ty, he may reasonably expect that the
first official act of the newly elected
officers will be to signalize their devo-
ton to the public interests by letting
the printing to the lowest bidder, thus
melting party competition by which
the successful bidder is sure to lose
money. The press being thus degraded
by politicians, it is subjected to the same
treatment in all public matters. What
ever public project an editor may pro-
pose, if it succeeds he is Immediately
shonldered aside by some fippant petit
logger or village demaSogue, and his
part in the matter is soon forgotten; if
it fails, he becomes an object of deris-
ion to the same parties who ever stand
ready to steal and appropriate to them
selves his laurels. If he throws him
self into the breach in time of peril
to the community from internal or ex-
ternal foes, the matter is generally set
tied by making him tho scape- goat be-
tween the contendinS parties, or he is
sacrificed by his friends to propitiate
the enemy. The press can be degraded
no longer than the partisan and mer-
ceny elements prevail; so long as ma
jority of publishers consent to do dirty
service for debasing considerations, and
thus degrade the character of the
whole"
1t is hoped that tho recent formation
of a press association in this place may
lead to an interchange of views, which
will result in material benefit. Soon as
the plans under consideration are ma
tured, it is suggested that the publishers
of the Territory meet at some conven-
lent point and adopt uniform scale of
prices and rules for mutual support.
We would be pleased to hear from our
brethren of the pencil such suggestions
as they may choose to make, as to the
time and place which will best suit their

ing the said mansion the band struck up
and played that soul string melody "The
girl left behind me-" after which few
pistols were discharged, and the voices of
many sounded throughout the land.
The music being hushed, the man
Ridgeway, went forth unto the men OF
revelry and said, behold We men OF
revelry who go about making noise, thy
music is pleasing to mine ears; pray
thee enter into my house, and partake oil
tie rich bounties which l have reserved
