HOME MANUFACTURES.

No country ever gets rich by tie mere
production and export of raw staples.
Capital is only the savings of labor,
and unskiiled labor is remunerated at
such low figures as to afford little or
no margins for savings. The great
source of local wealth, therefore, is
mechanical labor devoted to the pro-
duction. not of articles of uertu accessi-
BILE to the rich alone, but of articles re-
quired in the usages Of everyday life.
We have, in our city. number of me-
chanics possessed of more than average
intelligence and blessed with goodly
share of that enterprise which builds
up wealth. And We have facilities for
working up the products of our forests
to good advantage.
South of this city. on the tributaries
of the Duwamish river, are to be found
ash and maple in great abundance. The
latter makes the handsomest bedroom
furniture extant, while the former is
not only available for furniture. but
also for wagon timber. Spokes and
fellows are made from hickory ana pc
can, cut in the Mississippi valley; but
from our ash timber can be made good
article of shafts, reaches and honnds.
These, of course, could be made to cers
tain standard sizes used in wagon fac
tories, and laid down in San Francisco
much cheaper than the raw material
could be carried there and then sawed
out. Especially would this be true if,
at some available point on the Seattle
& Walla Walla Railroad, q good water
power could be had, which would re-
duce the cost of saving to mere nom-
inal figure. At present we are sending
to San Francisco for wagons made in
Indiana or Wisconsin, while our own
forests produce an equally good article
of everything save hickory. Nopeople
ever yet got rich by paying freight to
mills thousand miles and then paying
freight back on the -four.
Hall & Paulson have begun the ship
ment, on small scale of Seattle fur
niture to San Francisco. Their work
is neatly done end strongly put together,
hence there is no fear but il will bear
favorable comparison with the half
glued trash made in that city. We trust
the day is not far off when their factory
will be kept going on San Francisco
orders for furniture made from the
growthof our Territorial forests.

We were told a good story about a
Pennsylvania farmer, while we were in
Olympia. He was visiting the picture
gallery of the Centennial with his
daughter and stopped before picture
representing half-naked woman with
q herd of swine. The execution of the
picture was finely done. but the old
fellow stopped and read the inscrip-
ton, which was, "Circe and the COM
panions of Ulysses" He gave his
daughter ''hurch' in the short ribs
and remarked to her, "'Well, Sallle,
that's Ieetle the toughest thing on
Grant that I've seed yet" That man
probably voted for Andrew jackson at
the Presidential election and never

THE PRESIDENCY.

1t is strange how quiet matters Presi-
DENTAL have become during the past
fortnight. The belief grows every day
more and more patent, that Acting Vice.
President Ferry will not suffer himself
to be led astray by the opportunities of
Grant or any of the Cabinet. In all
cases where there is a contest and two
sets of electors have presented Them
selves, be has refused to receipt for the
returns to either of the messengers pre-
senting them. And that if any ne.
farious scheme to force Hayes upon the
people against their will Is contemplat-
ed. he will not become a party to it.
There are others in that body who be-
long to the Republican party. and yet
will not stoop to infamy for partisan
reasons. that thrift may follow fawn-
ing" Mitchell. Jones and Sargent are
there-all elected by the grossest cor
luption. but we can count upon Free
linghuysen and Conkling to vote upon
the actual merits of the case. If the
matter goes by till the 4th of March,
the House of Representatives must then
elect The President, and that President
will be Samuel J. Tilden.
The attitude of President Grant in
the premises is worthy of note. Scarcely
two months ago he sent Ruger to South
Carolina to srstain Chamberlain as
Governor. Now all we can hear is
Haves and Hampton. The very strong
est Radicals cry out as loud for Hamp-
ton as they do for Hayes. 1t is evident
that an unseen power is being wo ked
upon Grant, or matters would not be
taking this shape. The President has
become alarmed at the storm which has
been raised by his usurpations. 1t is
beyond doubt that offers of compromise
have been made to Hampton. offering
to recognize him as the lawful Cover
nor of South Carolina, if the Deno-
Gratis will consent to withdraw their
claim to the electoral vote of that State.
To our idea the offer is pIeposterous,
and shows the real weakness OF Hayes
position in the struggle.
Hampton. however, is a man who
does not want Office bad enough to OBJ
tain it either to the detriment of his
party or the sacrifice of personal honor
He will consent to no compromise
which involves the abandonment of 8
principle. Whatever other measures
may be studied mp to make Hayes Pre-
sident, the idea of making Hampton g
tool in the matter must be abandoned

of this city, and some time ago visited Gin
cinnati end the North for the first time. She
expressed great delight with the North and
Northern people. Her visit of few weeks
in Cincinnati stretched itself out to many
months before she left finally for her South

She was q most intelligent observer Of pc

to Mr.. McAlpin mentioned her Joy at the
Southern policy Of President Hayes, and her
belief that the prosperity of the South was
assured under present auspices.
She naturally had many friends and ac-

Remedy for Insect Bites.

When q mosquito, fee, gnat, or 9TH
or nOxiOus insect, punctures the hu-
man skin, 1t deposits or injects an
atom of an acidulOus fluid of poison
Gus nature. The results are irritation,
sensation OF tickling, itching, or Of
pain. The tickling of flies we are
comparatively Indifferent about; but
the itch produced by fee, or gnat, or
other nOxlous insects disturbs our sere-
nifty, and, like the sting Of q wasp or q
bee sting, excites us to a remedy. The
best remedies for the sting of Insects
are these which will instantly neutral
izs the assidulOus poison dep )sited In
the skin. These are either am monia
or borax. The alkaline reaction of
borax Is scarcely yet sufficiently appre-
ciated. However, q time will come
when Its good qualities will be known,
and more universally valued than am.
monia, or, as IL Is commonly termed,
"hartshorne." The solution of borax
for insect bites Is made thus: Dissolve
one ounce Of borax In one pint Of wa
ter that has been boiled and allowed to
cool. Instead OF plain water, distilled
rose water, elder, or orange flower wa.
ter, is more pleasant. The bites are TO
be dabbed with the solution so long as
there is any irritation. For bees or
wasps' stings, the bOrsx solution may
be made Of twice the above strength.
In every farm house this solution
should be kept a. household remedy.
