THE SILENT MAN.

For some time prior to his first inau-
guration in 1869. President Grant re-
fused to be interviewed by reporters and
surrounded himself with veil of I'M
penetrable mystery. Hence he was
called the American Sphinx" till be
issued his first Inaugural which was re-
cited from the steps of the National
Capitol by an ex-sctor of Sacramento,
named Warwick. Then people began
to find out that General Grant was not
so mysterious a person. after all. He has
since been so open and defiant of all
precedent in State matters as to warrant
the belief that he Was an imperialist.
Of late the old secrecy has creptback
into his State papers. He opens that
portion of his message referring to the
report of the Secretary of War, in which
he says that "the army has been active-
ly employed during the year, at the re-
quest of the Indian Bureau, in subdu-
ing certain wild bands of the Sioux In
dian nation, and in preserving peace at
the South during the election" The
people naturally expect some explana-
ton upon his course in this matter and
would like to know why he has inter-
posed the military arm of the Govern
ment to aid in the fraudulent election
of his successor. They would also like
to know why, in his Message, the Pre-
sident makes no mention of the dis
graceful peculatlons of the former iu-
cumbent of the War Office and his
equally disgraceful acceptance of that
peculator' resignation.
Grants reticence now is that of q
man whose guilt has been discovered
and who don't want to talk about it.
The nation asks him why the bayonet
is invoked to elect q man who is claim
ed to be the nations choice" (though
100000 popular majority says other
wise, for the chief magistracy. And
the country asks, is this the man who
claims to have ''acted in every instance
from conscientious desire to do what
ever was right, constitutional, within
the limits of the law and for the best
interests of the country ?" Well, nine-
ty days more will rid US of the Sphinx
Of 1868 and the Honest Iago of 1876"
For which. as in duty bound, lot US
thank God.

Inc GOllah has done almost an in
credible lot Of work since she came up
on this coast. In 1858 Captain Bob
Haley ran her to.San Diego from San
Francisco, two trips a month. In 1855,
while the ''Sailor Diggings" excitement
prevailed, she was run up to Crescent
City and Gold Beach. under command
of Captain F. Conner. now Master of
the Geo. w. Elder. Next year she had
her masts taken out and was running
opposition to Sacramento, commanded
by Arthur J. Brown. The Favorite is
q good sea boat but deficient in power.
The Cyrus Walker is always upon tie
move and is high>pressure boat like
the Favorite. though smaller.
THE YAKIMA
Is the handiest jobbing boat on the
Sound and is used to bring the Sno>
hom:sh river trade to Port Gamble.
She is sternwheeler and draws more
water than she ought, but she is o glo-
rious weather boat. Her freight
room is good, her passenger accommo-
dations second only to the North Pa
cifc. and she is handy boat to tow
ships. logs or anything else. She con-
tains the engines formerly in the Rain
bow. one of the old time cracks of the
Red Bluff and Sacramento line. together
with a splendid boiler. Everything
about her is substantial and commodi-
GUS. She has been the means of OPEN
ing up splendid trade for Port Gam
BILE with the Snohomish region. Capt.
Olney gets very little rest and sses
about as few. days in Port Gamble as
the next man.
THE LOADING FACILITIES
Of Port Gamble are very great, and six
vessels at Cnce at their docks is no un-
usual sight for the Puget Mill Co. g en-
ploye es. This company have no more
home trade than Port Blakely, but sur
pass all other mills on the coast in the
number and extent Of their foreign
charters. Their direct employees num-
Der over $50, while they indirectly sup>
port twice that number of loggers in
the camps and sailors on their vessels.
Among their ea-going vessels (though
we cannot remember them ally are the
ships Gen. Butler, Bonanza, barks At
lanta, Fresno, Camden. King Phillip.
James Cheston. Powhatan, Enoch Tall
bot, Roswell Sprague, and Joseph Per-
klns. They were owners also of the
handsome little ship Panther. lost on
her way to Nanaimo. two years ago.
The town of Port Gamble shows
AN INDUSTRIOUS POPULATION
In more ways than one. The houses
are very neat. especially that of William
Walker. Port Gamble caL boast of q
good hotel too, the Teekalet House,
kept by John Collins & Co., also pro-
prietors of the Occidental in this city.
1t has a cook-house for the mill hands,
handsome enough for a church, and a
public library. There is also brass
band of eighteen pieces under the lead
ership of Mr.. G. w. Lowe. who can,be
be called upon by any one desirous OF
taking the DISPATCH. In q word, the
Puget Mill Company have done every
thing to provide good order and en-
courage good habits among their en-
ployees. The scores of neat cottages
on the hillside. all owned by the COM
pany, contain an intelligent and liberal
people. whose children will be richer
men than their parents. Such were
our impressions of Port Gamble.

William B. Moore is up at Olym-
pia, collecting money in aid of re-
moving the Skagit jam and, from
what we hear, is meeting with fair
success. If that interests Olympia
people, who are sixty-six miles fur

our people ought to aid it as far as
their means and business will per-
NIT.

The awful disaster in Brooklyn
calls up the necessity of supplying
all buildings where large audiences
are likely to assemble, with proper
means of egress. As architects are
capricious, like other mortals, it will
be necessary to provide for this by
legislation. Some of the San Fran
cisco theaters are very badly con-
trived in this respect.

And worthy Of a king. For a weapon,
many like the Henry rifle, but our
preference is for a 40-inch Winches-

will not be without a trusty horse

bubbling spring where the alder

A Great Feat In RailrOading.

Philadelphia Bulletin, Otn lnSt.
Yesterday the centennial depot was en-
gagged in the herculean task OF dispatch
ing 1900 passengers on sixteen different
classes of trains. On the Pennsylvania
road proper there were through expresses
to the West, to Harrisburg and to Lam
caster. There were trains for interme-
date points and the Market street trains.
On the New York division there were
through expresses to New York, local ex-
presses TO intermediate points, henslngton
trans, local trains not expresses, ex-
presses to Belvidere and the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western road. There
were through expresses TO New York on
the Bound Brook road, local expresses on
the same road, local trains for the North
Pennsylvania road, and special express
for the Lehigh Valley road. And there
were through expresses and local trains
on the Philadelphia, Washington and
Baltimore road. To reach all these dit-
ferent points, twelve thousand people
were eagerly struggling at once and won.
deriul to relate the enormous mass OF
humanity was. dispatched in one hour
and forty-fue minutes, or one hundred
and twenty every minute. Such COM
plcated feat has rarely been 80 success
fully accomplished. There were some
crowding and confusion at times, but
this was mainly due ~ the Impotence
and want of sense on the part OF the
crowd, every one of whom got safely
off in an amazingly short time.

ACHANGE WILL BE FOR THE BET
TER

The Boston Courier, a paper which
generally has little to say about politics,
in its issue of last week says:
The Democratic party has put iorth as
its Presidential candidate The man best
fitted To meet the present wants of the
nation, and appearances indicate that 1t
is prepared at al points 10 defend him
from assaults and To exhibit MIN
to the public in his true light as
reformer. The brilliant speech of
Mr.. Hewitt, which electrified the House
disproving kasson's charges against Mr..
Tllden has scattered to the winds all
hopes the enemy entertained in regard to
making false issue. There is II strenu-
Gus attempt to tarn attention from the
misdeeds of the Republican party, hush
the popular cry for reform, and unite the
divided and distracted party over whom
the leading Republicans have so long
rergned by pretending to be patriots and
! phllsnthrophists. How any well.inform-
ed and upright man can make up his
mind to vote a Republican ticket, and
thereby sanction the corruptions which
have nearly ruined the nation, it is diff
cu. to see, and how any single minded
lover of his country Can hesitate to give
his whole influence and support to the
election of Mr.. Tllden is incomprehensl-
BILE. All who wish for wise measures to
alleviste the present national distress; all
who would see our country once more on
the highway OF honor and prosperity
are called upon to work with the party
long kept out of power by those who
have been tried and found wanting IN
wisdom and honesty. Try the honest
man, Samuel J. Tilden. Give him
chance.

TALKS OF MY GRANDMOTHER.

Boston Sunday Courier.
Hoogley's boy has been spending his
summer vacation with his grandfather
and grandmother down East. He got
home this week, and few evenings ago,
while sitting ON the curbstone adjusting
a rag on his sore heel, he was telling
Squeaky Zone of his chums) what a good
time he had. The following is his story:
give got the old boss grandmother for
telin' stories, and don't you forgit rtl She
is as much as 200 years old, with agrest,
long, crooked chin, and her face kinder
looks like pork-scraps, but she's bully
old gal, and can't she tell some awful
Injun stories. She says she's got ihree
mattresses stuffed with Injun's hair that
my grandfather killed and scalped when
he was young man. All of my grand
mothers pillars is stuffed with Injun's
hair, too, she says. My gran diather he's
got an old tlintlock-gun that l guess was
made when Noer cum IN the ark. My
grandfather used to shoot bearsn tigers n
elefunts'n crockerdlesn all kinds of birds
and everything. My grandfather shot
his gun inter Ii on or wolf one day, and
the wolf growed msdn run out Of the
woodsn run inter a naber's house'n swal-
Tered three children. My grandfather he
runs'n grabbed the VIOLIN skinned HMM
saved the children fore they's ct up.
Piruts used to sail up the river in front
of my grandfsther's house'n they used TO
rob folks and murder 'em and git their
mummy; they used to murder thousand
folks day sometimes and berry the gold
in cave. My grandfather was all alone
one day, and some purits cum and set the
house atire, and my grandmother throw'd
bilin' water on the purits, and they left
four millions of gold and run of. You
ought to see my grandmother and hear
her tell thingsW
