AN ATTEMPT TO EsCAPE.-A prisoner
by the name of Clark, who was convict
ed of the crime of manslaughter at the
last term of Court at Port Townsend for
killing the mate of a vessel, and SEN
fenced to one years imprisonment at
the Thurston County Jail, attempted to
make his escape on last Sunday night,
by saving the bars from the second sto-
ry window with case knife which he
had hacked full of hicks. so that ii would
cut like saw. The jailor was inform
ed of the preparation to escape by anoth-
er prise ner, and was on the lookout for
him. When Clark found that his plans
were made known, he pounced on Kirk
land, fellow prisoner, ard would have
beaten him fearfully, but for the timely
arrival of the jailor, who loaded him
with heavy irons and confined him in a
cell, where he will do penance by living
on low diet-bread and water-until he
becomes satisfied that such actions will
not go unnoticed. -Courier.i

E 1t will be seen from the following
that we have gold mines in our Terrific
ry equal if not surprising in richness
the Stikine mines. And what is better
still, they are easier of access and can
be worked much longer time during
the year. Mr.. J. McCallister of Seattle
has received a letter, with piece of
quartz enclosed, from the Sheriff of
Yakima county, stating that parties are
now at work with rockers taking out
gold, and that SIS has been made to the
hand notwithstanding that they have
to heat the water to thaw it out. Mr..
John Shoudy and others also write to
the effect that the utmost confidence is
expressed In their richness, and that
they prospect from three to ten cents to
the pan.-Courier.

For THE CAss1AR MINES A telegram
to Mr.. Yesler announces that the S. S.
California will be at Seattle on the Goth
inst. on the way to Fort Wrangls, and
will leave as soon as discharged.
Here is an opportunity for those who
wish to go to the Cassiar mines, but we
would advise none to go there at pres
ent, as the weather in that high latitude
is exceedingly cold, with little probable
ity of moderating materially for the next
month or more. A gentleman just from
Victoria informs US that he saw several
men there who had returned from un-
successful attempts to reach the mines.
crippled for life by frozen limbs, some
of which had to be amputated. 1t is a
fearful risk to take in the uncertain
pursuit of gold.

BAR SUPPER.-The supper given at
Richards, on Thursday evening, to the
Bench and Bar, by the two licentiates,
Messrs. Andrews aud Blanchard, admit
ted to practice at the present term of the
District Court, was very pleasant af
fair. Chief Justice Jacobs presided,
and all the Attorneys and officers of the
Court and single representative Of the
press were in attendance. Many good
sentiments were offered in ibations of
pure cold water, eloquent and humorous
speeches we're made. demonstrating the
fact that intoxicating drinks are not a
necessary concomitant to ga feast of
reason and a flow of SOUL" These
young gentleman have entered upon
their professional career with the wise
determination to draw no inspiration
from the intoxicating cup. They start
upon their way with the respect and
good wishes of all, and if their past and
present lives are an indication of the
future. they will achieve and reflect hon
or upon the noble profession they have
chosen forstheir vocation.

"a Sofr ANSWER" Erc.-A few days
since Capt. Wright, of the Zephyr, had
occasion to tell the editor of the Tribune,
before a large crowd OF people, that he
was an internal liar" and threatened
to punch his head. The meek editor
comes back at the Captain as follows,
telling the truth for once:
A FIRST RATE FEILow.-C Capt. Wright,

he has on so many previous occasions.

years in ttis place, this young gentle-
man has commended himself to the
confidence Of this community by his

ability which are bound to make him a
successful lawyer and an honored citi-

RA1LRoADs CAN'T MAKE Towns 1t is
true that railroads greatly stimulate and
augment trade where the elements exist
and the conditions are favorable, but it
is equally true, and this truth has often
been demonstrated by repeated failures,
that railroad alone. without other ad-
vantages, never has, and never can.
make town of any permanent import
ance. Somewhere about quarter of
century ago, the project was undertaken
Of building up rival to Buffalo at Dun
kirk, the western terminus of the New
York and Erie Railroad, The project
was most promising. That port had the
great advantage Of being the entrepot
to the shortest and most direct route of
travel and transportation between the
Great Lakes, with their immense COM
mercial tributes, and the great CONNER
cial centre to which all must go for
market. It was backed by all the infu-
ence Of the most powerful chartered
monopoly then in existence. Millions
of dollars we're expended in magnificent
hotel. depot and other public buildings.
Aline Of sumptuously furnished steamers
we're put on to connect with the railroad
at that place and all the ports on the
upper lakes. Town lots were held, and
many sold at almost fabulous prices.
Yet with all these advantages. within
two or three years the town relapsed
into its former insignifcance, with only
the addition of splendid deserted ruins,
and to-day presents only grass grown
streets, dilapidatsd buildings, with no
signs of commerce or thrift, and its RI
valry never created ripple upon the
surface Of business in Buffalo.
We see the same experiment being
repeated, with the certainty of like
result, in the attempt to make railroad
town upon the high bluffs bordering the
unfathomable waters of Commencement
Bay, at place designated on the maps
as Tacoma, the name of mill station
and logging hamlet about two miles
from the located and uninhabited town
plat. This speculative railroad town
was started as rival pretender for the
tradei and commerce now tributary to
Seattle; but Seattle has not yet and
never will receive any detriment from
that rivaly. The centres of populati on
and trade are generally settled by natu-
raj laws which are rarely reversed by
artificial means. Nearly 5000 people
with $4,000 900 of vested capital and all
the advantages of natural position, are
not easily wiped out by handful of art
full spectators, even though backed by
railroad monopoly.

Bro. DEVoRE SUsPENDED.-Rev. J.F.
DeVore, Presiding Elder of the M. E.
Church for this district, was recently
tried before an ecclesiastical tribunal at
Portlanp, on several grave charges, con-
victed and suspended from all church
relations until the convening of the An
nual Conference, when the action of the
present tribunal will be ratified or re-
versed. Mr.. DeVore publishes an adj
dress. affirming his innocence of the
charges, and expressing the confident
belief that he will be acquitted by the
Conference.
The Courier expresses the opinion that
"politics had more to do with this pros
ecution than religion" We do not
know what business Christian minis
ter has to do with politics.

A SPLENDID SUCCESS. concert at
the Pavilion, on Thursday evening,
by Messrs. Wood and Luranger, assisted
by Misses Lizzie and Lille Bell, Mile
Naeher, Leila Shorey, Mrs. Morrell,
Master Charles Plimpton. Mr.. George
Finn, and Professors Zeliger, Ward and
Hill, is pronounced by all good judges
as the most attractive entertainment of
the kind ever offered to the people of
Seattle. 1t was attended by nearly four
hundred persons. all of whom seemed
delighted with the performances and
proud of our local talent, which owes
much of its development to the admir-
able training of Professors Wood and
Iuranoer.

A PRAYING MAN 1t is not an uncom-
mon Thing to taunt the convicted felon
With the fact that he made profession of
religion, and thus added the sneaking
vice of hypocrisy to his crimes; but we
have never heard praying charged as
chief offense, or as conclusive evidence
of rascality, until in the case of the at
tacks of the Portland Bulletin and the
Olympia Courier upon Col. Kemble, the
Indian Inspector, in every one of which
the main ground and head and front of
his offending is that he is "a praying
man." For this they call him "pious
fraud" "howler," and other epithsts
are applied to him expressive of their
contempt for his religious professions.
The Courier contrasts his character with
that of Gen. Milroy--whose removal is
the sole cause of these attacks-in the
following terms: General Milroy has
also many friends among the first men
of the nation, civil as well as military,
and while he differs from Mr.. Kemble
in that he does not wear long hypo-
critical face, nor make lengthy prayers
to be heard of men. his actions while in
this Territory have won him the esteem
of all who admire honesty, candor and
integrity" Now the truth is, that Gen.
Milroy and Col. Kemble differ in their
religious views to this extent: the first
is member of the Presbyterian society,
and if he does not pray he ought to; the
other is an active member of the Pro.
testant Episcopal Church; while the
two editors who assail him for being a
praying man. are both sons of praying
parents, and we venture the assertion
that they would be no worse members
of society if they would emulate the ex-
ample of such praying men as Colonel
Kemble. General AIilroy may conduct
himself in such manner in his daily
walk and conversation as not to raise
the suspicion among worldly people that
he ever prays. Colonel Kemble, we
know, carries his religion with him in
his daily life, and il all his public and
private relations, and yet no man is less
disposed to bigotry or sectarian intnler>
ance. In his official inspection of affairs
in this Indian departn ent, he highly
commended the management of the
agency of Father Cherouse, Roman
Catholic; also that of Father WILDER,
Methodist: recommended the appoint
ment of Marshal B,inn, a Unitarian, and
of c. A. Huntington, Congregational
ist. Since these transactions he has
been fully yindicated from all charges
rejecting upon his character as faithful
officer, by the President. the Senate.
and the Department of the Interior,
with all the facts in the case fully before
them, and this was done in view Of the

Milroy case, in which the President saw
fit to reverse his action in Difference to
the earnest appeals of Milroy and his
many friends among the first men, of
the nation" From our knowledge of
E. G., Kemble from early boyhood, This
is the first attempt we ever heard of to
impeach his integrity of character on
any ground, and it can only succeed
now by first impeaching the President

''THE TRUE WHITE MANS PARTY"
MIR. Wm. Henry Tresoot's name is on.
titled to consideration in South Caro-.
lima, and when he offers himself as u
candidate for Congress, without wait
ing for the action of any party conven-
ton, We turn to his address with q
great dea! Of interest. Mr.. Treseos
does not appear as the representative
of any party. And he invites all
honest citizens, irrespective of their
previous partisan associations, to CO.
operate with him in the attempt to
drive out clique of thievish Office
holders who disgrace and weaken
their own party. Wenr not sanguine
of the success OF Mr.. Trescot's can.
vass; but he has correctly stated what
ought to be the attitude OF the pa-
triotic people OF South Carolina, and
his campaign will be watched at the
North with some solicitude. Within IL
few days another distinguished South
Carolina conservative has also made o
public statement of his views on the
political situation. Con. Kershaw.
like Mr.. Trescot, is careful to disclaim
any hostility to Gen. Grant. Both.
on the contrary, assure their friends
that whatever issues may have formerly
divided them from the President and
his administration we're long ago
closed, and that they look to Gen.
Grant with the best hope of relief.
The black men and the aohite men in The
South haze got TO liue together, and work
together, aud there will be no real
peace and prosperity until they learn
TO vote together. They are kept apart
by two classes of politicians. equally
pestilent-the blatant rogues like
Moses, who persuade the negro that
his rights are endangered by the re-.
appearance OF the Southern white con-
servative in politics; and the roaring
Hre.eaters like the editor of the Mont
gomery (Ala.) Morning Ne'os. who
threaten the white man with "misos,
genation" unless he can assert at once
and for all his political and social su.
premacy.-New York Tribune.

1t is the observation OF one Of the
profoundest philosophers OF modern
times, that the most dreadful calamity
that fate can visit upon sensitive
mind is suit Of hair that won't curl,
coupled with a corroding anxiety for
it to do 80. An Arkansas lady hung
herself the other day because her sis.
ter's:hair wonld curl and hers wouldn't.
Thus crushed by inexorable fate, the
only windsr is that she didn't hang
her sister before hanging herself-or

CHANGERS AS GRAIN EXPORTERS
The ship Star of Hope, owned by
Samuel G. Reed, of Boston. is said to
have been chartered by the grangers
in California to carry grain direct to
Europe, and is the first vessel entirely
loaded by the order. The Star Of
Hope. we are told, is only tho foro.
runner of many other vessels which
will soon follow her over the same
track and on tho same mission. The
grain shipments OF California, it ap.
pears, had become costly monopoly
under the manipulations OF one great
operator, and hence this granger
movement.

Many who are suffering from the
effects Ut the warm weather and are
debilitated, are advised by physicians
to take moderate amounts of whiskey
two or three times during the day. In
a little while, those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number
of "drinks." and in time become con-
irmed inebriates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended espc-
cially for the benefit of debilitated
persons, whether Of home or abroad, is
DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices of many medicinal
herbs. this preparation does not create
an appetite for the intoxicating cup.
The nourishing and the life.supporting
properties Of many valuable natural
productions contained in it and we'll
known to medical men have q most
strengthening influence. A single
bottle Of the Tonic will demonstrate it's
valuable qualities. For debility aris.
ing from sickness, over-exertion or
from any cause whatever, q wine.
glassful OF Sea Weed Tonic, taken
after meals, will strengthen the sto.
mach and create Al. appetite for whole.
some food. To all who are about
leaving their homes, We desire to cay
that the excellent effects of Dr..
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are
particularly evident when taken by
those who are injuriously affected by O
change OF water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking q
supply OF these safeguards along. For
