The Pacific Mail Steamship Dakota
sails on the 25th for this place. Wheth-
sr she continues to visit this port will
be determined by the amount of trade
she can command from the head Of the
Sound. The importance of direct COM
munication, with an unlimited market
ket for the products we can command,
is too apparent to need any comment
at this time. The question is, shall
we make an effort to maintain such an
important outlet for articles of export.
A few Of our enterprising business men
realize the necessity, and are already
making arrangements for meeting this
want, but it will require much more
than they can do. We can not expect
regular trips of any steamship, unless
it is made the interest of her owners
to bring her to Olympia. The first ves-
sci will be here about the first prox.
VIII she have sufficient freight to justi-
fly the expense of coming? We think,
with little effort she may, with the ia
cilities We possess for producing the
many staple articles which find ready
sale in California markets. One of
these aids, contemplated by our enter
prising citizens. Messrs. Ward & Nit
chell, is shingle-machine, capable of
manufacturing at rates which will make
it a permanent industry. Others of
our citizens, in response to the adver-
tisment of MIR. Freeman, have COM
menced buniging charcoal, but it re-
quires score or more of these means
of supply, in addition to what we al
ready possess, to furnish cargoes for q
large steamship.
The future Of Olympia depends in no
small degree in united effort just at this
time. If we lose few more Of the adj
vantages we possess, progress will not
only be delayed indefinitely, but we
will indeed begin to realize, in all its
dread Specification, the meaning of the
term +" Hard Times"

THE FUTURE OF OLYMPIA.

What viii it be-? IL devoives upon
our people TO Determine. Time is pass
ing, and the golden opportunity may
not always exist whereby united effort
will secure steady progress and prom
inent growth. There are many schemes
discussed, bat few that appear to be in
q fair way af achieving any positive re-
suits. The railroad project, though
NOT entirely abandoned, fingers on in a
stupor which may result indeath. The
suggestion Of o securing to this place
the location Of the proposed ship-yard,
though favorably received, does not APP
pear TO impress the people generally
with the depth Of feeling its importance
demands. Other enterprises suggested,
are mere suggestions only. without the
apparent disposition to test their eff
cheney. To plan ana devise is well, to
sxscnte better. Is their no means OF
inducing those who possess the ability
to make an effort for bringing about q
different condition Of affairss We are

The precept we would impart is,
Judge leniently of fellow man. Let us

the strongest incentive to virtue and
safeguard of good character. II we
tighten the burdens Of those who are
weary, cheer the hearts OF those who
are despondant, and stimulate our fell

BEET RooT SUGAR.--7Among the many I'M
developed resourcesfor which our Territory Is
especially adapted is the cultivation of beets
for the manufacture of sugar. All root crops
grow to large size, and the yield or beets
especially on our reclaimed tide lands is enor.
nous. The experience of the French in the
manufacture of beet sugar, when the yield
amounts to $50, 900 tons q year, is sufficient
guarantee that beet sugar is not an object of
mere speculative inquiry, but great staple
in trade, In which the supply is only regulat
ed by the demand, and the latter is inexhaust-
ible. The beet which yields the most sugar
is the white, or Silesian beet. II is smaller
than the mangelwurzel and more like the
Swedish turnip. II IL stated that the yield
OF sugar, with improved machinery, varies
little from ten per cent. in weight Six thou
sand pounds Of beet root have produced four
hundred pounds of coarse or brown sugar
and from one TO two hundred pounds of mo-
lasses. When refined of course the QUANTITY
reduced, but corresponding increase In
value makes the process quite as profitable
as the crude process. The product differs
In no considerable degree from the cane sugar
and the process OF refining is said TO be more
easy than for the latter. As this coast has
no other substitute for cane Il win be seen that
this resource presents very iattering pros
poets as an investment, That II is profitable
in Europe demonstrated BY tile large capital
employed In its production, which Ia steadily

HUMAN NATURE.

There is bright side, as we'll as
dark one, to every human character, and
just as the better or evil nature predom-
mates, the individual ranks among his
fellow-men. If the impulses are good,
inclination will probably lead into asso-
Citations which will strengthen the moral
nature, aud progress is steadfast and
certain. Such an individual finds no
difficulty in doing what is right, because
he is not tempted to do wrong; the pas
sions have not the hold upon him which
vicious habits engender, and that
warp and twist human nature from its
true course. II is fortunate thing for
man that appropriateness enters very
largely into the perceptive faculties
with which he is endowed. Few, if any,
do wrong because they prefer evil, but
simply because they obey an impulse
derived from extraneous circumstances,
which speeds them on in prescribed
orbit upon which greater force must
act before they can yield to new law.
Every individual is, to great extent,
the creature of circumstances. He is
the reflex of the manners and customs,
and to some extent the morals, of those
with whom he is placed in intimate
communion. Trifing incidents some-
times leave their impress upon charac-
ter. A word of counsel or encourage
ment has led to heroic exertion and
saved many man from despair, just as
a single evil thought or act has brought
about succession of transgressions re-
sulting in a human wreck.
Constituted as we are, with an inHu-
ence for good or evil, the result of ex-
amble should not be considered lightly,
or one in which the individual himself
has but little interest; as his example
acts upon his fellow man, whose infu-
ences may in turn act upon him, and
imperceptibly elevate and ennoble his
nature or drag him down. True happi-
ness can only be found in doing what
the conscience approves-in doing good.
We enjoy life just in proportion as
We make others happy. In contributing
our share to the aggregate Of human
happiness we increase our own. If we
gather sunbeams they will Tighten the
pathway of others az well as ourselves.
Example is contagious. A cheerful
countenance, a kind word, humane
act, may cause the heart to beat yith
joy for hours after our benefactor is
gone; the influence remains and cheers
others by its genial warmth. @
