To the Mother of ours.

From the Twenty third o. Y. I.
To thee, our mother. on thy silver troth. we
bring this token Of our love.
Thy boys give greeting unto thee with brim-
ming hearts.
Take it. for it Is made Of beaten coin, drawn
from the hoarded treasures Of thy speech.
Kind words and gentle when gentle word was
worth the surgery Of hundred schools
to heal sick thoughts and make our
bruises whole.
Take it, our mother. tits but. some small part
OF thy rare bounty we give back to thee,
and while love speaks in silver from
our hearts, we'll bribe old Father
Time to spare his gift.

Confederate Money.

! A Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says the facts about
the proposition that the United States
government should claim the money
said to be on deposit in the Bank OF
England to the credit of the Confedera-
cy are as follows:
YIn the time Of Mr.. Bristow's ad-
ministratiop as Secretary Of the Ire .s-
ury shrewd man came to him and pro
posed a contract BY which in case the
latter should succeed in getting possess.
ION Of the money he should receive ones
third of the amount for his services
This money has been varieusly estimat>
ed at all tho way from triAe to as high
as thirty or forty million dollars. Mr..
Bristow gave the man . conditional con-
tract and sent him over TO England, but
nothing ever came Of the matter. The
man is said to have become SO elated
over his prospects of achieving great
wealth that he went on grand spree IN
London and neglected tho business al
together. Mr.. Bristow sent one or two
special sgents to watch the progress oe
the claimant. It appears that Secretary
Bristow, before rAaking the contract.
consulted Mr.. Caleb Cushing. who gave
an opinion that Whatever money or
property was claimed by the SO called
Southern confederacy belonged unques-
tionably to the United States, an opin-
ion of similar tone having been given
in regard to the legal possession of the
steamer captured at Mobile and which
subsequently was USED by Cuban fill
busters and called the Virginius. On
the promulgatioD of this opinion in
London the cotton bonds held by Eng
lish speculssors advanced in value, the
impression having got abroad that the
money could be replevined by the holo>
ers of the bonds and their original in
vestment in this way fully covered. For
some reason unknown at the Treasury
Department Secretary Bristow dropped
the claim. Recently AN attorney for
another party. claiming to have influ
ence. applied to the Solicitor of the
Treasury for a renewal OF the contract.
The subject was referred to Secretary
Sherman, and by him submitted to the
Secretary OF State. who in turn referred
the matter to the Solicitor of Claims.
This official gave it % his opinion tina,
to press the claim wousd involve the
United States to q certain extent tor the
indebtedness of the cotton loan. and
for that reason the government had bet
ter not undertake to claim the money
alleged to be in the Bank of England
This opinion. however. it is not believ-
ed, will deter the government from Of
ficially making iDqury rs 10 whether
there ia money deposited in the Bank oi
England to the credit of the confedera.
cy. The joint high commission in
framing the Treaty Of Washington fully
discussed the probable claim Of Brirlet
subjects. and i'll this treaty in provid-
ing tor arb,tatlOu on the claims of Bit
ish subjects payment for slaves and the
so called cotton loan were excluded. i
here is then any sum in the bank il
can be claimed as the .0nencnmbereG
property Of the United : stes."

AUSTIN A. BELL.-Fron private let>
ter addressed to o member of this firm,

pears that Mr.. Bell reached that place
on the 21st ult., very much improved in
health. The climate of the Island he
describes as beyond comparison the
most delightful be has yet found, and
the city of Honolulu a place of fashion
and refinement. The duration of his
stay there will be governed entirely by
his health. which he states has under
gone very favorable change for the
better since his arrival. 4
A LARGE number of residences res
Gently erected are observed in the
southern portion OF the city, and on
the hill in the vicinity of the Sixth
street school-house There have also
been a number of dwellings newly
erected in and around the Belltown SUI
burb. and number of lots are now be
ing cleared preparatory to the erection
of others. Our city is steadily build
ing up. despite the depression of bust
ness generally on this coast. There is
no doubt that Seattle feels the hard
times less than any other city on the
Pacific.
THE Dakota is expected at this
port some time this evening. She |
will coal and take on freight here,
and will sail for San francisco

AMUsEMENTs.--The press of this coast
seems to exercise less discrimination in
noticing public amusements than any
where else in he Union. The merit of
a performance is secondary when CONS
pared with free ticket and two or three
squares of An advertisement inserted at
twenty>fve per cent. less than regular
rates. the extent of compliment beii
governed entirely by the length of ad-
vertisement. not by the character Of the
performance. This system. aside from
its injustice to the public, has had
tendency to encourage the appearance
among us from time to rime Of hosts CT
stroliing vagabonds who failing to earn
a livelihood in the ordinary pursuits of
life set themselves up in the ''show biz
ness" using the press es an auxiliary
to humbug the people. 1t has been our
aim to only notice favorably such per-
formsnces as were deserving Of public
patronage, and hence in several cases
have given offense to parties more or
less interested in their pecuniary sue
cess. Deeming legitimate amusement
a public necessity, we shall always feel
it duty to discourage fraud in that
lire and take pleasure in giving full
credit to such of them as can lay claim
to excellence.
WAR.-The Indians under Chief
Moses, says the Standard, are &C.
cumulating quantities of arms and
ammunition in the vicinity of Priest
Rapids on the Columbia river above
the mouth of the Snake, and the
settlers are afraid the sayages con-
template an outbreak in the spring
when the grass is long enough to
subsist their ponies. General How
ard is satisfied he could adjust mat
ters satisfactorily had he AN oppor-
tunity to converse with the disaffest-
ed Indians, but fears be may becom-
PEELED to leave for Washington to
attend to the three lawsuits institut-
ed against him. He is of the opin
ion, however, that no trouble need
be anticipated.
FAREwELL.-As I am about leav-
ing this place for the ''old country
on the steamer Dakota, I take the
opportunity to herewith say hearty
farewell to my friends in this town
thanking them with all my heart fol
all the kindness and favors they have
shown me during the ten years o1
my residence here, and I feel espe.
cially thankful to Mr.. 81. l.. Yesler

FoR PARIS. While Oregon
and other States are preparing
to send specimens of their pro-
ducts to the Paris Exposition
about opening, the people Of this
Territory are Indifferent TO the
advantages to be derived by q
proper representation of our ar
ticles OF manufacture and pro-
duce. There is one exception to
this rule, however. Capt. Suf-
fern, who takes a lively inter
est in our mineral wealth, has at
considerable expense to himself
collected specimens of many of
our minerals, and boxed and la
beled them for the Exposition.
They will be sent out on the Da-
kota. Thus, by the enterprise
of one man, our minerals will
become known to the world.
Eacn specimen is properly la
bel!ed, and the lode from whence
ii WAS taken located and descnb-
ed. There are in the collection
one box each OF co per pyrites,
black oxide copper, realger, och
eeIte crystal, magnetic iron, red
hematite iron, crystals red
hematite, kraursite, phosphate of
iron and crystals, and three
boxes Of fossils. Some Of these
minerals have been collected by
Capt. Sufern ut considerable
expense. Other valuable speci-
mems might have been sent but
for the expense Of procuring
them.
HUGE MoLARs.-At The store
of S. Baxter d Co., on Front
street, may be seen tooth that
weighs eight pounds and three
ounces. 1t was picked up by
some parties on the Skagit. By
many persons it is supposed 20
be the tooth OF a mastodon, but
gentleman whom we regard lis
good authority, gives reasons for
calling it the tooth of Il MAN.
moth, a species of elephant that
at one time inhabited this pOr-
ton of the American continent.
Recently some men on Whid-
by Island found . tooth like the
one above referred to and for
warded it to DIR. Calhoun Of this
city, supposing from Its immense
size that it was from the jaw OF
a mastodon. There are good
reasons for supposing that the
Puget Sound basin at one time
contained such animals as are
only found in tropical countries,
and the fossil remains of tropi-
cal vegetable life abound especi-
ally in the nelghborhood Of our
coal mines. 1nefc Is no uouot
but this country IS the richest
in the world in specimens for the
naturalist and geoiogist.
