Impressions Of Portland.

1t soon becomes very unpleasant for a
person to write about his own personal
adventures and experiences yet We know
OF no other method by which We can al
ways obtain accurate information, discrip.
tive Of the country, than to travel and see
for ourselves, and write what we see. BY
doing this, we can youch for our matter
being at least as accurate as the impress
sions written in a private letter, between
personal friends, of sights seen, or expe-
riences undergone in going flom place
to place. We frequently give in detail
our own personal adventures, because
they more accurately represent what q
person would be likely to pass through
than any mere general description could
do. While these things may become tire
some to some of our home readers who
are we'll acquainted With the country,
routes and methods Of travel, &c. we
are satisfied they furnish just the kind of
information desired by very large por-
tion of our readers; We Judge so as we
receive nearly every mail number of
letters asking for specimen copies of the
STAR, especially for those numbers give
ing a description Of the country.
Last week We furnished matter dCscrip-
tive of the Washinton and Oregon FANS.

From the Tribune.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:
[ thought perhaps few lines from
stranger making tour Of the Sound,
would be interesting to your numerous
readers, and hence this letter.
Suohomish City is situated on the
Snohomish river about twelve miles from
its mouth, and contains two dry goods
stores, two taverns, two blacksmithshops,
one printing Office, one saloon, n post
office, one shoe shop, barber shop, q
public hall, and thirty dwelling houses,
with resident population Of about $50
persons. The chief occupation of the
people Is logging, which is done extern
sivcly and successfully. The intelli-
gence of the people as whole is supc-
rior to that of the people Of any other
town where l have been on the Sound.
They are kindly disposed to each other,
and to strangers within their gates, so
cial and cheerful, and men and women OF
indomitablc energy, carrying through TO
the end every enterprise they undertake.
One cannot bat admire the pluck and
enterprise of this people.
One of the chief features of tho pro-
gress of the city is the public school,
taught by that accomplished lady and
teacher, Mrs. l.. W. j. Bell, well known
to the HteyWti of Seattle. The school
room is as comfortably seated as any
have seen on the coast, and is occupied
by 60 pupils. Among the most prom
inent features of the school are, most
perfect discipline, music, and a literary
paper edited by two of the young ladies'
My visit to the school was on Friday
afternoon, when the paper was read TO
the school by Miss Lille Bell and Miss
Millic Woods Its columns were filed
with original matter, prose and poetry,
which would do credit to paper oi
much greater prctentions. The music
was participated in by every child in the
room, and led by the teacher and her
two daughters, whose richly cultivated
voices poured forth melodies which sent
thrills OF Joy through every soul in the
room. To see all the little ones open
their mouths in song, their faces all lit
up with cheerfulness and glee, was
sight truly enjoyable. A very interest
ing exercise was class of eighteen or
twenty girls and boys, reading select
pieces in concert 1t would be impos-
siblc to hear this class read without
admiring the skill and energy of the
teacher. / do not think | have ever
spent two hours 50 pleasantly in school
room as these two at Snohomsh City.

Our Mails.

During last winter our mails arrived
here on the XpiW on Sunday, LETT on
Monday; afterwards the FuDy Ldh,
brought them here on Tuesday ana
lett on Wednesday, When the FanDy
was laid up for repairs the after brought
them down in her place on Tuesday, re-
turning with the mail tor Seattle on
Wednesday, The past week, no mails
were brought until yesterday, when the
MDhW brought down the mail from
Seattle; stopping here just long enough
to put of her freight, and without any
WARNING to the postmaster OF the fact,
started off without the mail.
We Lcicvc the mail is supposed to
to leave Seattle for Snohomsh every Mon
day morning, as well as TO return
regularly once week. The officers
of the ZepLyr stated they were to be
down here ne&t Monday with Judge
Jacobs, who is expected to make polit-
ical speech here on that occasion.
In view OF the manner our mail service
has been conducted in the past, we think
it would be proper to make one Of the
conditions precedent to giving Judge
Jacobs, or any other aspirant for congres.
sional honors, support in this communi-
ty, that they personally and publicly
pledge themselves to use their utmost eX-
ertions to secure scmi.wcekly steam-mail
service between Snohomish and Seattle,
and weekly mail service up the Snoqual-
mie to Falls City. And further, to see
that the contracts be drawn up with re-
sponsible parties SO that we cannot be
treated in the future as in the past. The
way. our mail service with this place has
been conducted is q SHAME aud an outrage,
to put it very mildly, We believe the
chief fault is in the way the contract has
been let. The parties who bring it to the
river being generally irresponsible, and
having no direct interest in the contract
being carried out according to its terms
with the original contractors. But being
specially employed to carry each mail
separately when b might Sut Meir ora
convenience
We believe the postal agent has the
power to remedy this shameful state of
affairs if he will give it his personal at
tention. 1t is a great pity that valley
containing nearly one thousand people as
enterprising and progressive as this can
not be better treated, so they can tell
whether or not they are to have any mail
to their community, when nearly half a
dozen steamers call at the river per
week.

tie with garbled extracts from those
letters to be used against Gov. Vance
In the present political campaign.
'sGarbled" means separated, culled out
to suit purpose-that is, such por-
tions of Gov. Vance's official letters
were furnished to Judge Settle as it
was thought would injure Gov. Vance,
bat the portions that wonld do him
good and Justice were withheld. And
Judge Settle attempted to palm off on
the public those gsrbled extracts as
representing Gov. Vance's whole poll
cy and views in conducting the war.
Gov. Vance at Rutherfordton ex-
posed the trick, and declared that it
was treating him unfairly that he
desired the publication of all his Off
cial letters, but that the Washing gton
authorities would not do it because
they wanted to garble them for Judge
Settles benefit. He denounced the
attempt to take advantage of him in
that way, and the audience showed
that Judge Settles conduct was con-
demned and his friends ashamed of it.
We did not think that Judge Settle
would resort to such unfairness to in
jure Gov. Vance. 1t will do him no
good in tho estimation of all men who
favor fair play and right and justice.
But is it not really mean in the Of
fcers of General Grant at Washington
city to use their official position to in
jure Vance and aid Settle? Was it not
mean to refuse Gov. Vance PERMISSION
to make copies of his own letters?
Was it not mean to refuse to let Gov.
Vance merely see his letters now in
one of the departments at Washing
ton? Those who are unwilling to say
that such conduct is mean are obliged
TO acknowledge that it is unfair and
unjust.

Social E0ualitY.

There can be no doubt that the
Methodist Church North is in favor OF
perfect equality between the white and
black races. Bishop Haven, who pre-
sided over the last Conference at Bal
tlmore, is an cut and out misgenation-
ist and claims that intermarriage will
elevate the whites. Gen. Hayes be-
longs to that church and no doubt is
sin full accord" with the sentiments
of that denomination. Read the ex-
tract below, white men of the South,
and see what Radicalism expects to
accomplish:
The Methodist Preachers Meeting
of Boston on Monday, July 3, adopted
the following resolutions in relation to
the "color line" and Southern frater-
nifty: "O That we most sincerely de-
precate any action which looks to the
division OF existing conferences or the
establishment OF new ones on the basis
of color. CO) That any fraternization
with any So called Christian church
that now involves thelremotest recog-
milton of the hateful spiiit of caste
now and forever rampant in the South
will be an unspeakable disgrace to the
Methodist Episcopal Chul ch.'
The separation of the races is called

ful spirit of caste now and forever
rampant at the South. ''-Southeym

suxgestiOns for the Hot weather
A writer to the Christian Union
makes some sensible suggestions for
the hot season. He says: "Make your
work Jasy. Reduce it. Do not ex-
pect to accomplish in midsummer the
days task of midwinter. Require less
of yourself, your children, your SER
wants. If you are preacher omit one
service, and cut the other down to
sixty minutes. If you are school
teacher reduce the lesson one half. Ii
you are housekeeper give your family
simple meals, that require less prepara-
ton and less clearing away. If you are
an editor-men will read the newspa
pers even in midsummer, and we see
no help for you" Unfortunately for
editors, they must be made an excep-
ton. Whatever else may slack mp or
run on half time, the newspaper can
not. By the very law of its being it
| must go on and on, with all sails set, or
drop out of the race altogether. 1t has
become a necessity to modern civiliza-
ton, and is demanded in all seasons,
all weathers. War, pestilence, famine.
