A job to coax bachelors ont of sim
gle blessedness, and to decrease the
stock of old maids by an increased
demand for wives, may be- involved
in some statements made by the
London Reeiew in regard to the re-
lations existing between marriage
and longevity. Old maids and bach
elors, it says, rarely attain to ex-
treme old age, and then it tells OF
people living to extraordinary ages
by wedding a dozen times or so.
while Jacob Jay. of Bordeaux, died
in 1772. at the age of l0l years, hav-
ing laid seventeen wives in the grave,
and Margaret Mcdowell. a Scotch
woman, died in 1865 st the age of
l05. having wept at the untimeIy
demise of thirteen men whose names
she had borne in rotation. Thus far
he Reuierc does not put very ex.
traordinary tax upon ones capacity
for bolting a tough morsei, but the
strain is rather severe when it goes
on to speak of pair named Rovin,
who died in Hungary in 1741, the
man aged 10 and the woman 164
she being a widow at the time of hel
marriage, leaving tender. youth liz
years old to bewail his orphanage
and reflect on the strength of that
tie which held his parents together
for 148 wears.

Early History.

Ek Spending q night recently atthe
house OF an old pioneer not thous
and miles from Seattle, the CONVEX
sation, after discussing the bright
future in store for our rising young
city, very naturally turned upon the
days Of long ago--days that tried
mems souls. when to be citizen o1
King county meant voluntary sur
render Of the comforts and blessings
Of . more advanced civilization, and
q taking upon ones self, the hard
ships and tolls incident to the life
of men far out upon the borders of
an uaexplored wilderness, and then
Just - these representatives. Of Yam
kee enterprise were beginning to
feel considerable in their new homes.
upon the shores of the sunset sea,
there burst upon them in all the
wild fury Of such war, an Indian

death to many . family occupying q
cabin in somc lone part of the
settlement" Notably was. this the
| case with the settlers on tho upper
White river, whese number Of men.
women andchildren were murdered,
without EVEN : chance for escape or
defense. That was an hour full of
feTbodings, excitement and anxiety
to the people of Seattle. When, on
Jan. 26th, 1856. they awoke to. find
ths little village surrounded by
hundreds Of dusky visaged natives
clamorous for the destruction Of the
entire town; but a place of ref1ge
in the shape of q "blockhoase"
had been, . few day5 before, crested
for INST such an emergency. To this
the people hurridly repaired, and
but 6r which, and she timely pres
ence,in the harbor or the U. s. man
of-war, Decatur, Seattle would most
likely have been pilleged and burn
ed, and her name added to the al
ready long list of those which, in
other-parts Of the land, had fallen
victems to the red mans thirst br
blood. When the writer first visited
Seattle in 1859, it, aad the surround
ing country, had not fully recovered
from ahe effects of tie Indian war,
above'referred 20, as many who had
been driven from their homes be-
came discouraged ard left the coua-
try. so that in Sept 1859. Seattle
contained but fourtesa families, aad
the county outside Of the town,
twelvs, making at that time total
in the town and cornty of twenty
six familiess but from 1869 the
prosperity and growth of the
place has constantly been onward
and upward until now it takes no
propAetic eye to see shat in the near
future; Seattle will rank second, as a
great.commercial ce2tre, to no place
on the PaciSc coast.

Of the past year to guard agaisst

is, to secure tbs lands, to the peo-
p@os by prohibiting the monopo-

a place to live should be as cass-
fEliy guarded by the govern

to- every man and ,uoman,. as
far as practical, the controL of
the results Of their own labor,
beyond the ceatrol Of privileged
corporations or. tyranlcal hus-
bands. In fms, to secure equal
nights to all without legislative
discrimination If we do this,
We may maintain the exemption
which we now enjoy from
the curse Of inordinate wealth
associated with abject poverty.
And to this end we present this,
our New Years greeting.

Andrew johnson is said to have
preserved all his papers, leaving
them in the upper story Of shop
in Greenville, Tenn. He took to
Greenville complete files of three
daily newspapers covering his presi-
dental term. OF telegraphic disA

He remarked once how little space

The Climate OF Puget Sound.

buS Ott1ldS6 OF ruSsSS SO0UUs
Seattle is situated in A deg
81 minutes north, about the same
latitude as st. Johns, and vel
there has been no day thus fal
during the present season wher
the temperature here has been
lower than it has been in South
Carolina or Georgia. We can
on this one of the last days OF
December, pick a dozen differ
ent varieties of summer flowers,
including several varieties OF
roses, from our garden, in one of
the most exposed situations in or
about this city. There has been
no frost thus far that has with
cred any Of the grasses; lawns
are as fresh and green as in May,
red and white clover are in
bloom; Strawberries and other
small fruits are in blossom and
fruiting the second crop for the
season, and all this in mid-win-
ter. The denizens Of the old
Northwestern and middle States
who are now enjoying their win
ter festivities Of skating and
sleighing in a more southern
latitude, find difficult to compre-
bend this difference, as reason
ing from ordinary rules, they
regard US as occupying the hy-
perborean regions.
Another mistake in regard to
this region generally entertain
ed abroad is, that when it is not
ice-bound it is subject to perpet-
ual rains. The rain fall here is
not a whit more than in Ireland,
as the weather tables will show.
The difference between this and
the Eastern States is, that we
have little OF no other falling
weather. If the hail and snow
of Wisconsin or Minnesota were
all melted to rain before falling
it would give those States rain
fall fully equal to that Of this
Territory. The clouds and mists
attending rainy region arc
more than counterbalanced by
the bleak winds accompanying
snow and sleet. Exact table:
show as many clear days in the
course of the year in this sec
tion as in any other on the con

Doctors, Sun and Air.

The air of the rooms we live i'll is
more or less alive with germs. Sun
light with the air will kill them, sun
light without air won't kill them; con-
sequently sunlight and ventilation are
essential conditions Of health, and
there must be at least two hours
Of sunlight to produce effective re-
suits. 1t is neither necessary nor de-
sirable to allow the scorching sun to
pour through our windows all day
long, but we must have enough of it
to keep our houses sweet and fresh,
or we must suffer the consequences.
We may keep our houses open till
10 o'clock in the morning, and then
close them during the heat of the day,
reopening them in the afternoon
when the noontide fervors are over.
The amount of good round doctors
bill for attendance on a case of diph-
liberia or typhoid fever will amply
suffice to put wire nettings over all
our doors and windows so that no
troublesome insect can find entrance,
while sunlight and air may freely distil
upon us their blessing.

Early Potatoes.

Much interest is manifested among
growers in the Early Ohio potato, as
variety which reaches maturity ear
lier, and is better than the Early
Rose. This variety we planted last
year, and the crop was highly salts
factory. We incline to regard it as
about a week earlier than the Rose,
and is more prolific and Of excellent
quality. 1t needs, however, care and
a good rich soil to obtain the best re-
suits. We obtained the largest and
earliest tubers where we used whole
seed, and fertiIized with pure super
phosphate in the trenches. Super
Phosphate and potash give to the po-
tato crop the kind of nutriment i re-
