Saturday, Sept. 23, 1879.


We are informed by . revenue Off
cisl, residen. Of this city. that instruc-
lions have been received at the Port OF
Entry, in regard 10 the registration OF
vessels. which by some reason Of exist
ing statutes relative % assessments.
will work 4 serious arrangement IN our
county revenues. The Territorial law
specifies that vessels shall be taxed in
the county where they hail from. and
tina, they shall hail from the place OF
resitience Of a, least one of the owners ;
bu, we learn that instructions have
bsen received from the Secretary Of the
Treasury. by Collector Webster, requir-
inR that all vessels in the district shall
hail from the Port Of Entry. In ac-
oordsneo with this order, new vessels,
as the Nellie, though owned here,
have had to swing the legend Port
Townsend absft. instead OF Seattle.
From the fact that vessels are taxed
in the county they hail from. this pro-
posed change will make a considerable
difference with the revenues Of all the
counties where vessels are owned. III
would throw hundreds Of thousands
il no, millions Of dollars more of valu
alton than she is justly entitled To, into
Jefferson county. a. the expense OF
King, Kitssp. Island, Pierce. Thurston
aud other countieA
II Is proposed to petition the secreta-
ry Of the Treasury 10 modify this order
The Legislature does not meet betor,
naxt fell. % that the law cannot b,
changed. or Congress momorialized on
the subject before that time. II is
therefore. probably, the province of the
county commissioners to take official
coEnizance in The premises and initiate
measures 10 redress the grievance.
Tho change is not rennired In Is
present registrations expire. of which
some are running out every month; but
orders have been issued to enforce the
new arrangement after this date in the
case Of oil new vessels and all new ap-
plicstions for registration The next
Spring assessment viii feel the roduc-
ton. Considering its bearing upon the
property right OF counties. until shown
some good reason for the order. we mus,
regard it as piece of arbitrary Unjust
ion end understandable abuse Of prero-
gative.

"No, pard, he don's pull a cuSsed

A STRING OF PEARLS.

Character is a diamond which
scratches every other stone.
All flowers will droop in the alb
sence of the sun that walked their
streets.
The Imagination is of so delicate
a texture that even words wound it.
A mans own safety is a god
that sometimes make very grim de
mands.
The mind wears the color of the
soul, as the valet does those of his
master.
Sin is the fretfuI parent of distem-
per; and i'll lives occasionally in good
physicians.
Prosperity seems to be scarcely
safe unless it is mixed with a little
adversely.
There is no vice so simple but as
sumes some mark of virtue on its
outward parts.
He who surpasSes or subdues
mankind, must look down upon the
fate of those below.
Success has great tendency to
conceal and throw a veil over the
deeds of men.
Frank sincerity, though not invit>
ed guest, is free to all, and brings
his welcome with him.
Cheerfulness makes the mind
clearer, gives tones no thought, and
adds grace and beauty to the coun-
teuance.
The human soul is hospitable, and
will entertain conflicting sentiments
and contradictory opinions with
much iWpartiality.
Truth is the shortest and nearest
way to our cad, carrying us tbither
in q straight line.

LIFE IN A TOOL CHEST.

About one square south of the
School>marm's Home, says the St.
Louis Republican, on the East side
of Eighth street, opposite the rail-
road tunnel, is an open lot, having a
gentle slope toward the street. 1t
seems to be covered by crop of old
ashes emptiei from the neighboring
dwellings and sctlered about in little
conical heaps On this rather drear-
ry looking lot an old woman of the
nsighborhood has squat'Ol, having
been expelled from some unpreten
tious under, ground cellar for iuabili
ty to pay her rent. The present
dwelling is curiosity. 1t unites in
the same apartment parlor, dormito~
ry and reception room for guests
Her dwelling, in fine, consists Of an
old tool chest, such as is used by
street commissioners, in which to
house their shovels aud picks. The
cover shuts down sIantingly, and
forms, when closed, the root, to keep
off the rain, dew, sloet and snow
At night tie old lady decsnds in her
house and, closing down the trap~
door, disappears like 'Jack>in>a- box
In the daytime the cover is held
open by stake, and the apartment
is ventilated. The furniture of this
humble dwelling seems to consist Of
a few tin utensils, and some spare
fragments of old carpet spread out on
board forming seat and a shelf. -
The kitchen part consists of iron pot
which was simmering over few
embers, with no roof over it except
the canopy of heaven. The old wo-
man was seen hacking away at re-
fractory plank to chip off some fire,
wood, in the presence of a small
crowd of boys aud girls.
