BOOTHS RAILROAD BILL.

Provides that in ell cases where
land grants have been given to
railroad companies under condi-
ton that the railroads should be built
within . limited period. it shall
be the duty Of the Secretary Of the In
terror, so soon as that period shall have
elapsed without the construction Of the
road, TO declare the grant forfeited, and
to dispose of the lands to homestead
and presumption claimsnts under the
general laws, in the same manner as II
there had been no reservation for rail-
road purposes.
This bill is an outcropping OF the
prevailing antagonism TO railroad sub
sides that is 50 general throughout the
United States at the present time and
that has been steadily increasing in in
tensity for year. past. 1t may be. how
ever, that the special animus Of the
move on Senator Booths part has been
inspired by the monopoly greed of the
California Central Pacific Railroad
Company. which would encourage the
belief that there is no immediate need
Of an additional through line to the
Pacific coast under control of a CON-
peting management.
The San Francisco Alta very sensibly
condemns the bill as if passed in its I'M.
qualified and unconditional form, its
operation will be directly against the
best interests of the whole people
The Alta says: IF the bill should
be passed. the effects on this coast will
be the withdrawal Of the land grants
to the California and Oregon and Ore
gon and California Railroad Companies.

NEED OF A PORTAGE CANAL

Our attention has been called by a
number Of farmers within the pas. few
days, to the great importance Of tap
ping Lake Washington by . canal
through into Lake Union, so as to keep
the water Of Lake Washington at .
certain stage. Perhaps it is not known
generally. that an overflow on the
Duwamisb. White, Black and Cedar
rivers, never occurs to do much damage
when Lake Washington is at its lowest
or Summer stage. 1t acts as . reser-
voir when the Duwamish is not capa-
bic of emptying the large rush of
water of its tributaries and in
consequence Cedar river is turned
into the lake, and as il is often the case
in heavy freshets, Black river, which is
Lake Washington's outlet, runs up hill.
as it would seem; but as long as this
surplus water can run into Lake Wash
ington there is no danger of q damag-
ing overflow. Now what these farmers
on all these rivers, and the s. & w. w.
r. r. Co. in particular. want and
should have done is to raise the means
by subscription and put this canal
through. if no more than sluiceway,
thereby putting in q ssfety-valve. The
damage TO the farmers on White. Black
and Duwsmish rivers by overflow the
past Is years has been three times the
expense it would cost to connect the
two lakes. We will suppose for instance
that the Seattle Coal Company Will
bring their coal by rail ria Renton. then
in the event of an overflow, even like
last winter, it would BE- hard to esti-
mate the loss that would result
if number of ships were here, to say
nothing Of the damage to the railroad
company.

''Then 1 am doubly glad / thought
of it, returned George, 81 will call

How Miss Martineau Began 10 W rite,

1t was at the age of nineteen that
Harriet Martineau felt the sensation,
that Is so delightful to most authors, of
seeing her first contribution TO litera
ture in print. The account of her en-
trance upon the vocation of an authoress
is full of interest. For some years, il
seems, she had aspired to this vocation.
1t happened that her brother James,
who was going TO leave home for col
lege perceiving that she was far from
happy, advised her to turn her attention
TO some fresh pursuit which would dis
tract and engage her mind, and sug-
gested writing for the press. The very
next morning, before six O'Clock, she
was at her desk composing an article on
"Female Writers on Practical Divinity"
"a ponderous theme for girl of nine
teen-wbich, when finished, she sent to
small Unitarian periodical called the
Monthly Repository. Keeping her design
secret from the family, she carried the
article to the postofiice, and awaited
with palpitating heart the arrival of the
next number of the Repository. 1t came
Just before service on Sunday morning,
and when she turned the sheet her
heart ''thumped prodigiously" on see
ing her article on the page. In the
evening her elder brother, by chance,
read the article aloud in his family cir
Gle, where Harriet was taking tea,
praising it as he read. When he had
ended it, he turned 10 her and said:
Harriet, what is the matter with
you: | never knew you so slow 20
praise anything before"
81 replied in utter confusion:
''T never could battle anybody. The
truth is, that paper is mine.''
''He made no reply, read on in silence,
and spoke no more till was on my feet
to come away. He then laid his hand
on my shoulder, and said, gravely:
"'Now, dear, leave it to other women
to make shirts and darn stockings: and
do you devote yourself to this"
81 went home," she adds, ''in sort
of dream, so that the squares of the
pavement seemed to float before my
eyes. That evening made me an au-
thoress."

Table Etiquette I'm England.

English etiquette demands the oh.
servance of two rules n connection
with dinners which it is the worst pos
sible taste to violate in any country,
many delinquepts to the contrary not
withstanding. They are that all dln-
ner invitations shall be answered at
once-no waiting to see if a pleasanter
enjoyment presents itself, and that the
guest shall be punctual to the hour
specified. That the success of the
party depends largely upon these is
self-evident.
The next important matter lies with
the host or hostess, to settle before
hand the correct precedence and II
there is none, to consider which couples
best suit each other. There are sew
eral methods of arranging the order in
which the guests are to go down; one
is for the host, before dinner is an
nounced, to introduce each gentleman
to the lady, whom he is to take to din
ner but this has its Inconvenience,
and the wiser plan is thought to be for
the hostess to despatch the guests her
self when the host has given his arm
to the lady he takes down. Once ar
rived in the dining-room, the host
should tell each couple as they appear
where they are to sit. An experienced
hostess always takes special care not to
seat husbands and wives opposite each
other. "a.
One thing should never be forgotten.
Every gentleman must place the lady
he escortson his right hand. He should
always, when desired to take her to
dinner, offer his right arm. Ladies
and gentlemen enter the room singly,
not arm -in-arm, and the ladies retain
their gloves until they are seated, put
ting them on again before leaving the
dining room, ...,,. ~ ...-.g d.

A Singular Charity.

Ii may be thought singular purpose
of charity to provide for the ''marriage
of poor maids" and one that would ac-
complish but little in a field where the
objects would be so numerous; never
theless, the benevolent designs of men
have been turned in that channel, as
well as in other various directions men,
toned in the statute. BY the will of
Mr.. Henry Raine, wealthy London
brewer, fund was established tor just
such durpose.
Among the notable charitable insti-
tutions of London there is none more
novel in inception, or unique in man
agement, than Raine's Asylum, estab-
lished by him, ia 1876, for clothing,
educating, and properly training for
domestic service forty young girls,
taken from a lower school previously
established by him. On arriving at the
the age of twenty two, any girl who
has been educated at the asylum, and
who can produce satisfactory testimon-
ials of her conduct while in service,
may become candidate for marriage
portion of fl00, for which six girls are
allowed to draw twice in each year
on the first of May and the fifth of No
vembsr. The drawing is in this man
ner The treasurer, in compliance
with the explicit directions of Mr..
Raine, takes half-sheet of white paper
and writes thereon 'one hundred
pounds" Next, he takes as many
blank sheets as, with the one written
on will correspond with the number of
candidates present. Each of these half
sheets is wrapped tightly round little
roller of wood, tied with a narrow green
ribbon, the knot Of which is firmly
sealed. The rolls are then formally de-
posted in large canister placed upon
small table in the centre of the room.
This being done, the candidates, one at
! time, advance toward the canister,
