the Turks feel that they crushed, although nc does
not intend To retain the city.

Many incidents may be construed into confirmation OF

Ii speaking of this poem, Bishop Coke himself
says:
1T is founded upon the facts Of King Edgar,
marriage with EIfreda, as they may be found in any
English history, mere statement barren OF details
For the general outline of Anglo-Sazon manners /
have been forced to rely on Sharon Turner, though
a great variety of histories, ballads, and literary
treasures were ransaced in the original scheme Of
tho story. It is almost needless to say that have
felt myself free to adopt some words unknown to
the times in question, and to idealze the social
state, according to poetic license but trying to
observe the just limits of such license"

County School Superintendent.

Over at Olympia the County School
Superintendent receives salary in lieu
of fees allowed by law. 1t has been
5000 heretofore, but the Co. Commits
sioners recently cut it down to 500.
The Transcript thinks 500 dollars is
ample pay for an officer who does moth
ing but draw his salary. The commits
sioners would have shown more wisdom
by requesting the Superintendent to
resign, if he were not faithful officer,
than by cutting down his salary. The
first effort should have been to get
somebody who would attend to the du-
ties of the Office, and take lively and
active interest in the welfare of the
schools, and then increase his salary in
stead of reducing it. A school Superin-
tendent should be an active man. He
should be rustler himself, and not
have to be ruStled to make him do his
duty The Co. Commissioners and the
people at large should demand more
and better work from their Superin-
tendents. He should visit the schools,
advise the teachers, organize country
Institutes, study to suggest improve
ments in the school law, and generally
look after what is of the first impor-
lance in every new country, the educu-
cation of the young. The people can
not afford to be penurious in this mat
ter. They should have an efficient
Superintendent and he should be paid
an adequate salary.

River Item.

Coming over from Portland last
Tuesday afternoon, the Steamer was
loaded with freight and passengers.
She made numerous landings and
met number of steamers on the way.
First, the Welcome from Kalama, then
the Los angeles from San Francisco,
then the Diaie Thompson from Astoria,
loaded with passengers, and last the
Ajar literally black with passengers.
This steamer connected with the Yam
couyer, and transferred Lieut.. French
and 81 recruits bound for the Post.
The two steamers swung alongside
and the little Vancouver seemed like a
toy boat beside the ocean behemoth.
Up among the many strange faces on
the hurricane deck, was the tanned
and good humored phiz of Mr. B. L.
Morrison returning from his southern
trip. The transfer made, the steamers
parted and moved away towards their
respective destinations. The Yam
coucer also took passengers both from
the Welcome and the Dirie Thompson,
and before reaching her wharf, passed
the Emma Hayacard loaded to the
guards with the golden cereal of East
ern Washington Territory, and plow-
ing her way majestically towards the
present metropolis on the Willamette.
The Columbia River is a grand and
noble old highway, and it is interest
ing to study'th features of its present
system of travel and transportation.
