With regard to the fisheries and the
lumber and timber resources, he says
The fisheries of Northwest Europe fur
nish the chief diet of large populations.
Our coast offers,' if possible, larger
supply of this food. As estimated, L.
100000 salmon. equal to 10000, 900
pounds were taken in the Columbia
River alone during four months of this
year. A single draft of a seine in Pu-
get Sound in September, 1873, brought
1000 salmon. The supply of herring
is exhaustless in those waters. The
sea fisheries promise to equal those that
have given power and wealth to Europe.
The rivers, bays and seas of this
coast will yet he the nursery of seamen,
qnd the source of food for unknown
multitudes. Next to climate and food,
the resources which develop industry
and economy take rank. These abound
also. Even the gold and silver demand
nearly their worth in labor ere they be-
come our treasures. The forests are
formidable, and the lands difficult of
cultivation. The coal and iron must
be gained and put to use only by toll.
You count the deep coal and iron and
tin and copper mines. and mills of
Great Britain, and the slate and marble
quarries of Vermont, the manufactures
of Massachusetts, and Rhode Island and
Pennsylvania among their hest re-
sources. By labor and skill the forests
of Puget Sound yield 200, 600, 900 feet
of lumber per year, and yet they have
hardly been touched q mile from the
shore. Their annual growth does much
to replace the loss. The variety and
value of our forests are better known.
The humble hazel has become an article
OF commerce. The spOnSy cottonwood
is sent off by ca:yoes. The fir ranks
with the oak for ship-building. The
spruce, maple, alder and cedar are
wrought into choicest furniture. One
manufacturing firm saves probably $780,
600 annually to this State by The use of
native woods. The mines, the forests,
the orchards, the vineyards, the fields,
the manufactures of wood and iron, of
furniture and machinery, of clothing
and food, call for capital and labor, and
promise rich rewards for investments.
In no country does The climate give
more continuous viyor for work and in
none surer recompense for industry
and enterprise.

OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING. nov. I. 1Si.
THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.

The glorious news from Indiana and
Ohio has been supplemented by returns
from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia. Hill
nois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York,
PENNSYLVANIA, South Carolina, Tonnes
see. Texas, Vermont and Virginia which
indicate overwhelming gains for the
Democratic and Conservative parties,
leaving the Republicans only the little
State of Rhode Island to crow over and
even chances for Wisconsin. Such a
clean sweep has never been witnessed
since the war times, when the Union
party carried the Northern States in
solid phalanx. Even Massachusetts,
has wheeled into line and elected a
Democratic Governor, besides defeating
the hitherto invincible champion of
Radicalism, Ben. Butler, the man
whose name is inseparably connected
with stolen spoons.
There is no doubt but that the result
in Ohio and Indiana has had great
effect in bringing about this Waterloo
defeat to the Republican party. In the
former State, local issues scarcely en-
tered into the contest. It was fought
and won almost exclusively on national
issues. There were no State questions
upon which the Democrats could make
any capital, except probably the license
question, and that cut but small figure
in the campaign. The Republican
party had, according to the verdict of a
Democratic investigating committee,
administered the affairs of the State
prudently and honestly; and the result
can, therefore, only be attributed to
the record of The party on national is
sues and the position of its leading men
on the political questions now before
the people for consideration. The same
is partially true OF Indiana, and may be
said of the great conflict fought last
Tuesday in which score of States ar,
raigned the Republican party for its
wickedness and corruption, and pro.
nounced against it the verdict which
will remove it from power.
The Democratic gains on the Con
gressional vote in Ohio and Indiana
was fourteen, in Arkansas three, West
Virginia one, and in North Caroline
two-total twenty. Itrequired a change
OF but forty-seven to give the Demo
Gratis clear working majority in the
House, and it must he conceded thai
the late returns will crowd that figure
very closely if it does not completely
change its political complexion.
In few deys the returns will ADM
of precise count, when we predict til,
result will show that the scepter hal
indeed departed from Judea, and tina
the reign of misrule has about closed.

English Frauds in Wines,

An ingenious fraud, by which wine
costing about twelve shillings a dozen
in France was r" translated so as to sell
for two guineas dozen in England,
was exposed recently in one of the Lon
don police courts. The prosecution was
Instituted by several we'll known cham
payne manufacturers, including Roed-
ererer and Moet & Chandon, and the
evidence they brought forward went to
show that the prisoner, or his accom-
plices were accustomed to buy cham
payne of the poorest quality, in France
and ship it to London there the corks
were drawn and replaced by others
branded so as toresemble genuine ones,
the original labels were removed, and
forged labels were pasted on the bottles.
and transformation was thus effected
which would readily deceive even expe-
rienced buyers. The bottles could not
be told externally from those contain
ing high-priced champagne, the imita-
ton OF one of Moet & Chandon's brands
being especially clever. The Justice,
indeed, considered the fraud so danger
ously ingenious that the prisoner was
sentenced to hard labor for the term of
twelve months. .f.-.

Patience Dow.
MARION DOUGLASS.

Home from the mill came Patience Dow;
She did not smile, she would not talk !;
And now she was all tears, and now
As fierce as a captive hawk.
Unmindful of her faded gown, .
She sat with folded hands all day,
Her long hair falling tangled down,
Her sad eyes gazing far away,
Where. past the fields, a silver line, e..
She saw the distant river shine.
But. when she though herself alone,
One night they heart her muttering low,
In such chill, despairing tone,
1t seemed the east winds sulleA moan;
All mel the days, they move 80 slow!
/ care not if they're fair or foul;
They creep along-I know not how;
l only know he loved me once
He does not love me now."
One morning, vacant was her room;
And, in the clover wet with dew,
A narrow line of broken bloom
Showed some one had been passing through
And, following the track, it led
Across field of summer grain,
Out where the thorny blackberries she'd
Their blossoms in the narrow lane,
Down which the cattle went to drink
In summer from the rivers brink.
% The river" Hope within them sank;
The fatal thought that drew her there
They knew, before, among the rank,
White blossomed weeds upon the bank,
They found the shawl she used to wear,
And on it pinned little note
''Oh, blame me mott! it read, "for when
l once am free, my soul will float
To him! He cannot leave me them
] know not if It's right or wrong
go from life-I care not how:
/ only know he loved me once
He does not love me now!"
In the farm graveyard, meath the black
Funeral pine trees on the hill,
The poor worn form the stream gave back
They laid i'll slumber cold and still.
Her secret slept with her; none knew
Whose tickle smile had left the pain
That cursed her life: to one though true,
Her vision-haunted, wandering brain,
Secure from all, hid safe from blame,
In life and death had kept his name.
Yet, often, with thrill of fear,
Her mother, as she lies awake
AT night, will fancy she can hear
4 voice, whose tone is like the drear,
Low sound the graveyard pine trees make:
II know not if tits right or wrong
go from ife-I care not how;
] only know he loved me once
He does not love me now -

Baby Goethe.

That it was the loveliest baby ever
seen, exciting admiration wherever
nurse or mother carried him, and ex-
hibltlng. in swaddling clothes, the most
wonderful intelligence, we need no bio
grapher to tell us. Is it not said of
every baby? But that he was in truth
a wonderful child we have undeniable
evidence. and of kind less questiona-
BILE than the statement of mothers
and relatives. At three years old he
could seldom be brought to play with
little children, and only on the condi-
ton that they were pretty. One day,
in a neighbours house, he suddenly
began to cry and exclaim, "That black
child must go away! can't bear him !"
And hehowled till he was carried home,
where he was slowly pacified; the whole
cause of his grief being the ugliness of
the child.-Story Of Goethe's LATE.

YAKIMA MINEs.-A correspondent of
the Walla Walla Union says that the
miners are all getting to work, and that
prospects look fair. It is reported that
there have been two nuggets, worth $40
each, taken out of the Discovery bar
lately. He also says that their sluice
boxes are lined with gold. One man,
in prospecting the bars of the Yakima
river, made SO per day with rocker,
With sluices, our correspondent thinks,
the mines on the river will be about So
or $40 diggings. He also seems to
think that the Swauk Greek mines will
be quite extensive and pay good wages.
Some men have started up the Yakima
in a canoe to prospect the bars of the
river and other crooks putting in above
Swauk. Mining has commenced in
good earnest, but has not been going
on long enough to prove just what pay
will be made, as many of the companies
have not yet made "clean up" Pro-
visions are cheap and plentiful, and the
mines are now easy or access, there be-
ing no SNOW to interfere with travel.
