Want to Know

vSstS ~
SEATTLE, April IA, 1878.
To THE EDITORS OF THE DISPATCH
AS a taxpayer, I want to know by
what authority W. H. Shoudy, As
SCISSOR of this district, appoints E.
Bryan as deputy assessor. The
question is this: Can Mr.. Shoudy,
as assessor, transfer his brains to
Mr.. Bryan? Wo it not follow, If
such was the case, that Mr.. Bryan
represented the brains of Mr..
Shoudy? Further, that Mr.. Bryan
was acting assessor, Notwithstanding
he did not receive vote from any
one for that Office? If Mr.. Bryan is
not authorized to assess property,
don't you think some lawyer will
contest it the first time some one OBJ
jects to pay their taxes ?
Yours,
TAXPAYER.
We are willing that every man
who has grievance, real or lmagl-
nary, should have his growl. AS to
the merits of the matter complained
of, we are not capable of Judging.
Mr.. Shoudy is the County Assessor
and Mr.. Bryan the City Assessor.
Whether either has the legal right
to do duty by deputy we do not
know. If not, and if either is acting
as the deputy of the other without
lawful authority, the error should
be corrected at once, else it might
involve litigation in regard to the
legality of the assessments, which
would be of great public detriment;
for we have abundant proof that
there are taxpayers in this city who
will contest payment if they have
any reasonable grounds for doing
SO. A discussion of the subject can
do no harm, and possibly may avoid
much harm.

concerning whose alleged sudden
and mysterious disappearance fre-
onent mention has of late been

The following remarks are from
the pen of an estimable lady. whose
arguments certainly ought to be as
effective as her intentions are COM
mendable and ncere.-Aryus,
Il would say to any one who
thinks of sending a child away from
home to a boarding school. that a
more desirable one cannot be found
than the Territorial University at
Seattle. I confess to a personal
knowledge of this school, as I have
visited it several times and have
seen for myself-no hearsay-and
besides I have several children IN
attendance. !.
I beg to congratulate the heads OF
the University on their selection OF
an instructor, for in Prof. Anderson
thew certainly have the right man in
the right place His estimable wife
is in every way qualified to fill her
position, as a true lady and scholar.
As to Mrs. Custis' musical quallti-
cations, they are so well known and
10 deservedly appreciated that l
need not comment on them. l
would prefer to hear her scientific
playing than the delivery OF the
most learned disquisitions on the
laws and constitution of the United
States. or sciences of nature.
Mr., and Mrs. Hill board boys. and
Mrs. Anderson the girls. Every
thing in the power of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hill, teachers and principal, is done
to make cheerful and happy home
for the boarding pupils. and care
full oversight is kept on their con-
duet.
The instructions in this school are
of the most thorough character, the
constant aim being to give a sound
and practical education, and to sur
round the pupil with the influences
of refined Christian home. 1 am
pleased to hear that anapparatus for
illustrating both in chemistry and
philosophy has been procured, so
that the subjects may be taught not
only from text books and by lec-
lures, but are illustrated by practi-
cal experiments.

We gather the following facts in re-
gard to the result in jefferson coun-

100. At Ludlow, Gerrish received
20 and Bradshaw So majority; at
Chimacum, Hill majority; at Dis
covery, Bradshaw II. Gerrish 10 ma
jority. Gerrish's majority over Ell
dridge in the county is 1876; Brad-
shaw's over Hill &C. Gerrish's ma
jority in Whatcom county is 10, and
carried Island by a large majority.
Hills majority in Island s; leading
Bradshaw 79 ahead, as far as heard

Nor INsANE.-Complaint having
been made by G. W. Shaw that his
wife was insane and an unfit person
to be allowed liberty, she was yes
terday examined by Drs. Carpenter
and Jessup with a view of determin-
ing whether or not this was the case.
After long and rigid examination
these physicians decided that she was
of sound mind and refused to issue
q certificate to commit her to the
Asylum. We are informed by some
friends of Mrs. Shaw that she does
not act in any way like a person be-
reft of reason, and we are at loss
to know why complaint should ever
have been made.-StdteSman.
THs Odd Fellows excursion to
Seattle, on the 26th, will leave this
place at 7 A. NJ, instead of 9 as ad-
vertised elsewhere. The object Of
this will be to arrive at Seattle in
time TOR the parade and public exer-
cises. The cornet band has been
engaged for the occasion, refresh
ments will be prepared and nothing
will be left undone by the com nit
tee of arrangements to make the oc-
casion an enjoyable one.-Arg1s.
Mr.. HOWARD CARR, of Tacoma,
proposes to start out upon pros
pecting tour in the Cascade noun
tains within a few weeks. Mr.. Carr
spends several weeks every year
prospecting, and is quite familiar
with the mountain country imme-
diately east of US. He says the tirae
he has spent in the Cascade range
will, if summed up, equal at least
two years.
The Argus says Of the election re-
turns: The above showing indicates
that the Republican voters were
generally much more keenly alive
to their best interests than were the
Democrats. as the latter did not poll
anywhere near their full party vote.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Young Da-

Two men and a boy were walking
along John street the other day, when
one of them--the father of. the boy
said:
sHow pleasant to my cars in this
hum of Industry
$50 it is to mine, replied the other,
and when the boy got chance he
asked:
Father, did you mean that pound
ing back there?'
Yes, my son. was the answer.
That evening as the father was seat
ed in his evening chair, he heard an
awful pounding in the kitchen, and
rushed in to see his son belaboring a
chair with hammer.
'What on earth does this mean p he
shrieked at the lad.
sThe hum of industry, father was
the reply.
The boy was hummed out of that SO
fast that it was over an hour before he
could compose himself to softly inquire
of his inner consciousness: WAS
father lying to that man, or is night a
bad time for the hum of industry p

ther in perfect amazement.
MY dear, this sauce is staving.
Where did you buy it -,
sOh, we'll, it's all the same in Ger
man.
Nellie dropped her knife and fork.
sYou must give me some money
for the butcher, tomorrow said Mrs.
Hall.
you'll have to spell ability first,
growled the doctor, savagely.
Then suddenly taking out his hand
kerchlef, he gave his nose q tremen-
dous blow. There said he show's
that for high
sIknow how 'tis. myself meekly
replied his wife. This capped the cli-
max. The knowledge that her father
must have heard the afternoon conver-
sation was too much for Nellie. She
burst into tears and left the room.
The sage doctor nodded wisely to his
wife, and, when she had got out of
hearing exclaimed, There wife, guess
we shall have no more slang phrases
from her.
The next day, the good doctor called
his daughter into his study, and said to
her, MY dear girl, don't you see how
very foolish all these phrases are
They mean nothing, but are exceeding
ly injurious to those who use them.
By ever so sparing use, ones speech
gets SO corrupted, that person often
makes use of one of these expressions,
at times, which afterwards he would
be sorry to remember. They sound
very silly TO a listener, and often the
usage of them leads to something
worse. 1t is bad enough to hear boys
use them sometimes, but a girl is ex-
pected to be too refined and lady-like
to sully her lips by such expressions.
The use of them is simply habit, but
bad habits, like cuts in the bark of a
tree, grow and widen with age, and if
they once get firm hold, are hard 10
get rid of. Then there is great deal
in companionship. If we keep COM
pany and are intimate with those who
use bad language, we are apt to make
use of it ourselves. Persons are known
by the company they keep When
you hear person using these slang
phrases, you may be sure that such a
person knows not what is called good
society,"
Such expressions as by Cory or
BY Darn are not only foolish, but
wicked. For does not the Scriptures
say, Swear not at all, neither by heav.
en-, nor by the earth, but let your COM
munications be yea, yea, and nay, nay,
for whatsoever is more than these
cometh evil There, my daughter"
said the doctor, we have made quite
a sermon of it, SO let us haye no more
of slang phrases

The trouble with much of the re!ig-
i0us life of to-day is that il is allowed
to rust and stiffen from disuse. If a
Christian expects to have a religion
that is worth anything he must use il,
daily. A great maay hang up relig-
ion as they do coat in the closet six
days in the week, then take it down
and give it q nice airing and brushing
and wear it on Sunday. But such re-
llgion won wear. An engine that is
idle soon rusts; q house uaoccupied
aud uncared for soon goes to ruin.
The only thing that will keep religion
bright is the friction of constant use
IT. said Paganlni, i let day go by
without touching my violin, l am i'm
mediately aware Of it; ii let two
days elapse, it is the public who are
aware of it, Every body who heard
Rubenstein when in the city marvel
ed greatly at his execution. The ee
cret of ii all lies in two wOrds-cOn-
slant practice. He kept in his room
a small portable key board, having
neither wires nor hammers, and " hich
emitted no sound. Upon the key
board he practiced constantly. Wheth-
er on the steamer crossing the ocean,
or in the cars, or travelling by stage
coach, the practice of the noiseless
keyboard was kept up with unceas-
ing regularity. This is just what we
want in the religious life-a daily, nn-
ceasing practice Of the life and doc
trine of Christ in our lives wherever
we are. In no other way can religion
be made living force. Let Christ
ian put aside religious thought and
work for even day, and, like Paganl-
nj, he will be Immediately aware OF it !;
let little longer period elapse and
world soon finds out that something
is wrong.-[Ex.
