health, Congress again met, and while
many thought him unable to attend its
session, he was at his post, and though
on clutches, morning, noon and night,
he could be seen going from one De-
partment to another, attending to the
many wants of his constituents
The more than friendly caution, that
nature could not endure all things was
not needed. He had heard of the in
sidious whispers of the slanderer, the
murmurs and complaints of those who
should have been his friends, and he de-
termined to shame them all by his acts.
But the Louisiana and Arkansas trou-
bles, the Force and Civil Rights Bills,
took up all the time and attention of
the last session, and those measures
for which he had toiled and laEored so
hard, were never reached. Still the re-
cords bear evidence Of his persistent,
constant and untiring labor. The la
bors of the session, however, proved too
much for his physical condition. He
felt that disease was fastened upon him
and longed again for the pure Pacific
breezes. His wish was gratiied. With
tender care he was brought home; and
while to the stranger he looked we'll,
yet those who knew and loved him best,
felt that the end was not afar off. To
the last he was cheerful, and he had the
qualification of passing away, sur
rounded by his loved ones, in the midst
of community where all mourn his
loss.
.All that beauty and all that wealth eer gave.
Await alike the inevitable hour.
The paths OF glory lead but to the grave"
"Of one thing, those who loved him
are secure. History will lay bare no
secret which will tarnish the whiteness
of his fame. His correspondence, his
conversation, the secrets of his cham
Der, may be made known to mankind,
no intrigue, no dissemination, no arte-
fee, no selfish ambition, no impure
thought or act shall be found.
Whatever record leaps to light,
lie never shall be shamed.'

MEETING OF Opp FEILows, -On nc
count Of the slim attendance at the
meeting Of Odd Fellows, which was
called for Tuesday evening, June 22d,
to consider the question of organizing a

was thought best by those present to
call another meeting. believing that the
unfavorable weather and perhaps the

counted for the non attendance of many
who would otherwise have been present.
We would, therefore, most earnestly
urge upon all members Of the Order, in.

A STRONG GAME.-Everybody knows
Hill Harmon, the whole-souled, jolly
old pioneer, who has charge of the
Insane Asylum at Steilacoom. Last
Saturday, he started for this place, in
company with William Hawk, Warden
of the Territorial Penitentiary. They
had driven along the road few miles,
when they came across little bird that
furnishes music for the deaf-in plain
Saxon, Skunk. "Hold these lines,
Bill" says Harmon, "here's the Teller
I'm after. He's an own brother to the
one that scoffed three bronze turkeys
for me, last week" Good Lord, Hill,
you amt going to tackle that skunk,
yourself? Why, you'll smell worse than
ton of polecats." "Ah, we'll, we'll
talk about that another time" says
Harmon. With that he alighted from
the buggy and ran towards the little
animal, which elevated his. caudal and
uncorked the pbials of his wrath.
"Good Lord" says Hawk, show will
you go into Olympia?' "We1l talk
about that, another time," says Har-
mon. And he kept jumping on the
polecat with both feet, exclaiming oh,
you unclean beast, no wonder the Jews
didn't allow your kind to be sacrificed
in the sanctuary! Oh, you big stinker,
I'll learn you to eat my turkeys!' And,
having wreaked his vengeance upon the
beast, he went back to the buggy.
"Hill," says his friend, you smell out
rageously." "That's So says Har
mon, "but We'll talk about that another
time. That little animal was addicted
to the use of Irish Cologne, but he
couldn't help that. When I fight var
minis, I take square chances and let
the best man win" Alexander con-
quered Tyre; Attila Frustrated Rome;
Scipio overthrow Carriage; Lucullus
slew the horse; and Sherman marched
VIGOROUSLY from Atlanta to the sea, but
none of them ever jumped on live
skunk. Who shall say that that Wash
ington Territory is not the mother of
heroes? ....

PARTY RECORD. -Just as anticipated,
the Dispatch objects to our criticisms of
the political record OF the tBrown fam.
ily," and intimates in language striking
ly similar to the utterances OF Mr.. Dor
rit, the venerable &c Father of Marshal
sea Prison." that he is master of the
present or any future political situation
that may arise. He claims that he pos
sesses more brains than we do, which
point We humbly concede, although
such comparisons are in bad taste, and
more in keeping with first and second
childhood than mans estate. That we
expect to " compete with him for party
honors," when the Democratic party as
sumes the reins Of power, is farthest
from our intention, or that we desire to
rule him out of party which he has
deliberately deserted, is as absurd as it
is paradoxical. His own acts have fixed
his status in the party, and there is too
high sense of justice among the masses
for their verdict to be far from right,
when they pass judgment upon his
course. The respect and Difference US
ually accorded to age, may he exceed
ingly gratifying to one of Mr. Browns
temperament, but experience should
! teach him that it ia NOT hest to build
up air-castles on so slender a founda-
ton. The result of his aspirations in
Oregon, as Democratic partisan, and
the subsequent defeat of his ambition
to fill the wee Offices of Town Clerk and
Secretary of a Railroad Company,
should admonish him that the strong
est professions of personal regard, do
not carry with them any positive assur-
ance OF individual Advancement. But it
is not the present purpose to stir up
personal animosities, and it is far from
our desire to say aught in yindication
OF our own political course. 1t is quite
as much matter of pride to us, as the
checkered career of our venerable con-
tempory is to himself, and it conforms
with the principles we now profess.
Misrepresentation can not change facts,
nor will results be affected by the spleen
or envy of those who arrogate to them
selves the wisdom and virtue of the age
in which they live. n

The State OF Trade.

1t is two years and four months since
the collapse of 1872 precipitated its
gathered effects on the country, and
there has been no marked progress made
in revival from those effects yet. The
event was called panic, and it was be-
lieved by many that the country would
recover It's old position as soon as the
pang had passed away that credit
would be restored; that new conf
dence would be diffused through the
avenues OF trade that prices would
rise again that demand would be
strengthened that the colossal fabric
OF debt which had been accommodating
for twelve years would be tided over, in
one way or another, and that the country
would enter anew on that career of
prosperity which had been marked by
dividends of 10, - and 30 per cent. on
all sorts of well-manaeed investments
That these things have not taken place
that there has been no general restora-
ton OF confidence and credit +; no gen
erI rise In prices no speculative de-
mand Tor products no embarkation of
money IN new enterprises, and no return
OF what we took to be an era of pros
perity-is n fact known to all. The.
shock of 1872 has passed, but the pros
tration which followed it continues.
What was supposed to be passing panic
proves TO have been a general collapse
and, though we have done something
in the way of recovering from it, the
process appears slow TO our impatient
people, and they wonder when the old
condition of things will be restored
1t certainly would be pleasant thing
to see Western farmers getting $l.25 for
wheat, 80 cents for corn, and so, all
around, for tobacco TO see new rail-
roads being built to see the iron fur
naces of Pennsylvania, Ohio and other
States reopened in full blast; to see the
coal miners strikes ended, and the
strikers industriously and cheerfully at
work at good wages to see the thou
sands of suffering male and female oper-
atives in New England busy once more,
amid humming spindles--itnd idlers in
all parts of the country brought into
active employment and III due time we
shall see all this But there is pre-
hminary process to be gone through be-
fore the picture is possible-and that
process we are now experiencing. The
collapse of 1872 was as inevitable re-
suit of the turgid prosperity that pre-
ceded it as debt-paying is of going in
debt. If a universal going in debt
makes prosperity, the era that ended in
the fall of 1872 was certainly prosper
Gus one-the most strikingly prosperous
era, perhaps, that has ever been seen in
this country. On the other hand if, as
unromantic economists declare, a time
of paying debts and squaring up gen.
orally is an era of health, our condition
just now is one of surprising salubrity.
One is the result of the other, and the
two together make up that cycle of bust
ness which young men engaged in trade
rarely think of, and our experienced
b1siness men are apt to lose sight Of

The Mysterious Circles.

Cut from card two disks or circular
pieces, about two inches III diameter in
the center of one Of them make hole,
into which put the tube of q common
quill, one end being even with the sur
face of the card. Make the other piece
of card little convex, and lay its center
over the end of the quill, with the con-
cave side of the card downward the
center of the upper card being from one
eighth to one-fourth of an inch above the
end of the quill Attempt to blow off
the upper card by blowing through the
quill, and il will be found impossible.
If, however, the edges of the two pieces
of card be made TO fit each other ac-
curately, the upper card will be moved,
and sometimes it will be thrown off but
when the edges of the card are on two
sides sufficiently far apart to permit the
air to escape, the loose card will retain
its position, even when the current of air
sent against it be strong. The expert
ment will succeed equally well whether
the current of air be made from the
mouth of pair of bellows. When the
quill fits the card rather loosely, com
paratively light puff of air will throw
both cards three or four ethigh. When,
from the humidity of the breath, the
upper surface of the perforated card has.
little expanded, and the two opposite
sides are somewhat depressed, these de
pressed sides may be distinctly seen TO
rise and approach the upper card, di-
rectly in proportion to the current of air.
Another fact to be shown with this simple
apparatus appears equally inexphcable
with the former. Lay the loose card
upon the hand, with the concave side
up, blow forcibly through the tube, and
the same time bring the two cards
toward each other when within three-
eighths of an inch, if the current of air
be strong, the loose card will suddenly
rise, and adhere to. the perforated card.
II the card through which the tube
passes have several holes made in 1T, the
loose card may be instantly thrown of
by slight puff of air.
