CoMMENDABLE.-We are pleased
to note the spirit OF honest pride
with which the residents of Port
Ludlow are evincjng their determi.
nation to keep up the reputation of
their town. If the communication
published in the ARGUS, did them
gross injustice we are certainly as
much gratifed to notice and ac.
knowledge their vindication as any
one else could be, and would have
published it as willingly as we did
the items which were sent to us.
Oar desire is to do ample justice to
all, and then let blame rest where
ever it properly belongs. If neccs-
sary, we can and will publish our

The most perilous hour of per
sons life is when he is tempted to
despond. The man who looses his
courage looses all; there is no more
hope of him than Of dead man; but
it matters not how poor he may be,
how much pushed by circumstances,
how much deserted by friends, how
much lost to the world; if he only
keeps his courage, holds up his head,
works with his hands and with un
conquerable will determines to be
and to do what becomes a man, all
will be well. 1t is nothinS outside
OF him that kills, but what is within,

TRUE As GosPEL.-A recent writer,
who doubtless got pretty clear idea
of the case, says that in our moral
teachings there is too much DON'T
and not enough DO; that we expend
our entreaties on other in pointing
out what must be left undone, while
we prescribe nothing but a negative
remedy. We exhort young men to
avoid the cozy, tasteful and cherry
saloons, but fail to find them place
to go which is as attractive, or better
employment as a substitute. The
order of things is being re-
volutionized in Port Townsend, by
the introduction of open temper.

place to spend an occasional evening.

sugar, when imported contains fro m

We must measure mans strength
by the power of the feelings he sub
dues, not by the power Of those
which subdue him. And hence
composure is often the highest
result of strength. Did we ever see
a man receive llagrant injury, and
then reply calmly? That is a mar
spiritually strong. Or, did we ever
soc a man in anguish, stand as il
carved out of solid rock, as if master
ing himself? Or one bearing hope
less daily trial remain silent and
never tell the world what cankered
his home peace? That is strength.
We too often mistake strong feel.
ings for strong character. A man
who bears all before him, before
whose frown domestics tremble, and
whose bursts of fury make the child
rem of the household quake, because
he has his own way in all things, we
call him a strong man; it is his pas
sons that are strong-he mastered by

The Walla Walla {" Statesman af
fects to think that if Washington
were to become a State with Gov.
Ferry at the head Of its government
the annual expenses would mount
up near a'milIion. This squib comes
with poor grace from a prominent
member of the Democratic party,
under whose management the Tsrgi.
tory was run into debt so heavily
that warrants on its treasury was
worth only 30 to 80 cents on the dol
lar. Especially when we find that
during Governor Ferry's term Of Of
fee, and while two of hisappointees,
the treasurer and auditor, had the
management of Territorial funds vas
the first in our history that warrants
reached par and were paid on pre-.
sentation to the treasurer. The In.
sane Hospital is the great bill of ex-
pense to the Territory and ever since
Governor Ferry has had voice in
the matter the trustees of that insti.
tuition have consisted Of three Re-
publicans and two Democrats, and
now there are two Republicans and
one Democrat. If there hal beea
anything wrong or dishonest in tie
management Of this institution these
Democrats would have been only too
glad to tell Of it. So it is with the
whole machinery Of our Territorial
government. Every part Of it is
open to examination, and if there
are any frauds or peculations it is
perfectly easy for anyone who de-
sire to find them and make them
public. There has been a great deal

Rawlins, Wyoming, July 29.-Prof.
Hess, of Iowa, has the kindness to fur
nish the following: Prof. Watson, Of
Ann Arbor and Prof. Norman Lockyer,
have just returned from Separation,
where the total eclipse lasted $50.
Prof. Watson discovered an intra-mer-
curial planet of the size of four and
a half magnitude star, about two and
a half degrees southwest of the sun.
Mr.. Lockyer says this eclipse was to-
tally different, the corona being ten
times brighter this time than the one
in 1871 showing great variety of the
brightness of the corona between the
the maximum and minimum period
of sun-spots. He obtained a
faint photograph of the continuous
spectrum Of the sun and saw no trace
of lines or rings through Mr.. Ruther-
ford's grading. The structure Of the
Corona was well observed by him, but
no trace of an exterior ring was seen
and the Corona vanished instantly
while in II, it remained visible for sew
eral minutes after totality. Only one
faint protuberance was observed by Mr..
Lockyer. He is greatly surprised at the
difference Of eclipses occurring in diff
ferent sun-spot periods and at the
intimate relation Of the brightness of
the Corona to sun spots. S.
