As We passed down street the other
day We heard a boy speak in disrespect
full tones OF his mother. Oh. boy you
know not how o you may be called
TO stand at the bedside of that kind
and loving mother as she draws her
last breath aud brea,hes her last pray
er on earth, for your welfare. Then
you can shed UNDECIDED the bitter tears
repenter ce. and call in vain upon that
kind parent now stilied in death, for
her forgiveness Tor your rnkind words
and deeds. When your mother is
gone from you, aud you can see her
face DO more on earth. and the white
snow drifts over her low bed then your
heart may be wrubg with anguish as
you recall sukind deeds and uukiud
words thoughtlesly spoken. Boys be
always kind aud respectful to your
mothers, and then when it may please
providence to take her from you, her
who guided your totteling footsteps in
infancy, and you stand and see the
portals of the tomb closed Ger her
who vas your best friend you can find
consolation in the fact that you did
not cause the loving heart, now cold in
death, one pang of needless SORROW.
Many years ago We saw our mother
laid in the cold and silent grave. that
mother who had been ever kind to US,
and who had watched at our bedside
when We were near to deaths door.
Can We ever forget her, or cease TO
reverence and hold sacred the memory
of her who watched over Us in our in-
fancy? Not while life shah lat
The lessons taught US, and the Kind
words of encouragement spoken to US
in GUY youthful days, are so indellibly
stamped upon our mind that time can
not erase.

LIFE BOAT FOR NEEAH BAY.

The Revenue Steamer Thomas
Eorwin, Capt. John w. White, ar.
rived here ON Sunday last, from San
Francisco, having on board, the life,
boat for the |. ). Liie.Saving Sta,
ton at Necah Bay. This life. boat i,
30 feet long and eight feet bean
with water tight compartments al
each end. She was built at New
York on plan combining the latest
English and French Iifc.boats. She
is built of iron and weighs with all
her equipments, 3! tons. She has
five thwarts, on which can be seated
ten men rowing double banked, and
can be steered either with a rudder
or steering oars.
Connected with the boat is a car
riage for hauling a mortar for throw
ing bombs over a wrecked vessel for
the purpose Of sending off a small
line to be fastened to larger one on
board, which is hauled ashore and
affords means of escape tor those
Of the wreck. She will be placed
with her equipments in the building
already erected at Necah Bay. 1t is
the intention of the Government to
have her manned by Cape Flattery
Indians, who are famous for their
skill and daring in handling boats or
canoes in the heavy surf which pre-
walls at all times at the Cape. The
whole will be under the charge and
direction of some white person who
may be selected by Capt. White, and
approved by the Bureau of Lie Say
ing Stations, at Washington.
This service is entirely independ-
ent of the Revenue Light House, or
Coast Survey Departments, although
the officers composing the Bureau,
all belong to the Revenue Marine.
Capt. John w. White is the Super
intendcnt of all the life saving sta
tions on the coast from Cape Flattery
to Monterey. The head office for the
Pacific Department, has not yet been
determined. Whethor it will be
San Francisco or Astoria, remains to
be decided. 1t will probably take
couple of months to get the Neeah
Bay Station in working order, as
many things will have to be provided |
or position so isolated which are
rot needed on the Atlantic Coast.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER II. 1877.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Our inability to- present this dOcu-
ment in full for our readers is deep y
regretted on account of its intrinsic
value and public worth.
1t presents, in very clear and
concise form, a statement of the pros
porous and hopeful condition of our
country; its marked Improvement
during The past year, and the (nunda
tion for bright prospects in the fu
ture. In discussing the leading top.
les Of the day, the President shows
himself in alI.things consistent with
his administration policy, aud backs
his opinions with SQUAD logic. In
short, he has shown himself fully up
to his first announcement Of policy
and premises. He Gorcibly sets forth
the necessity of securing an honest
circulating medium fnr the masses,
and asks that every means be used
to put our monies on sound and
uniform basis.
In regard to civil service reform,
he admits the existence of mary
series difficulties in carving ont his
present policy, but shows II firm be-
lief in its potency for extricatug the
country from the evils of The past.
The attention OF Congress is called
to the condition of affairs ON the Mex
lean border, and measures are urged
securing the protection OF life and
property.
In this message, as in all other pub.
lie acts of the President, the course
taken is free, open and honest, evinc,
ing a pure and patriotic spirit.
There is manifest going back to
first principles, without regard to
party tricksters, assembling political
sophlstrles, or any questionable mo-
tlves. "Our country, aud the great
est good to the greatest number" is
the motto.

SINCE the fall of Plevna there has
been seeming prospect that the
russians will have Turkey for Christ
mas after all. Still, according to
late intelligence, the Turks are de.
termlned to carry their resistance to
the last extremity. The value of
Russian bonds is advancing in the

WHEN one observes, embodied in
a single newspaper paragraph, the
expressions, 'noxious odors," "per-
serted functions of his ollactories, :"
"ietid exhalations," &C., the natural
conclusion is that dictionary 'ma-
teria medica" has been exhaustivelv
drawn upon in compiling the article,
or else that some one familiar with
such terms is responsible for it's au-
thorship.
