The sullen war-waves surge,
And lines Of battle break

And do we dream we hear

Still strike the assassin'S blow,

MAsoUERADEs. - Masquerade parties
are all the rage just now. There was o
fine one in Olympia last week, large
one here, private one, the Juvenile one,
and sheet and pillow case party. This
week there will be one at Port Town
send on Thursday evening, and the
probability is that, while the fever is
raging, Steilacoom, Tacoma Gamble,
Snohomish and other places will catch
it, and there will be series and success
sion of such parties. Hitherto masquer
AIDES lave been attended with much cost,
difficulty, labor and trouble, and some
times without the most satisfactory re.
results. Now it is different. At all the
principal points on the Sound are cos
tunes which can be bought, hired or
borrowed, and, with triiling changes,
made to appear as new and nice as if
got up for the OCCASION. Tribune.
We see no reason why the lun-loying
people here might not easily get up
something of the kind, as there is now
a large stock of costumes on hnad in the
place. W. G.. Jameson, of Seattle, has
everything of this kind on hand, which
he will loan for nominal consideration,
and large party of people would come
down from there and help the fun along.

While we wish fully to represent all

that, when our time is not too fully oc-

sources peculiar to this region, about
which there would be the greatest desire
for information among those likely to
seek homes here. We had proposed to
try to write up the chief resources in
one long article, but with the limited
time at our command we would not be
able to do the subject justice then we

A SQUIRREL WITH DIPHrnERIA,--A
story was recently told IN Bridgeport,
c., paper about pet flying squirrel
which had just recovered from diphthe-
ria. Some Of the children were attacked
with diphtheria, and in accordance with
his custom the squirrel sometimes crawl
ed into bed with them, nestling up
against their faces and throats. After
while the squirrel was seized with all
the symptoms of the disease, and grow.
ing worse, apparently went through all
the stages OF the complaint. Later ad-
vices state that the squirrel has had q
relapse and IS dead.
