MORE than twenty years ago, away
back in the days when San Francis
co was only what might be called n
considerable village, miner wrote
home to his father that the ends of
the earth met il, that then embryo
metropolis of the Pacific Coast.
The most casual observer walking
through the streets of San Francisco
to-day could not help being struck
with the significance of the miners
remark. If such thing We're true
in those days how wonderfully SO is
it now. Among the languages in
common use in that city may be
mentioned English, French, Ger
man, Spanish, Italian and Chinese.
Thousands of persons are speaking
these languages, every hour of the
day. While in these languages is
transacted the great bulk of CON-
mercial business, there are hundreds
of people making use of Portuguese,
Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Rus.
sian, Greek, Hebrew. Slavonic, be-
sides many other dialects of Europe
and Western Asia, too numerous to
mention here. There are, also, q
limited number of Tartars, Japanese,
Esquimaux and Aleutians; the lat
ter, however, generally speaking

lect, Hence. San Francisco has

Very Suggestive.

The London correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer tells the follow
ing story. The moral will be OBJ
vlous to those who have anything to
sell:
In Paris, last Summer, I saw q
friend of mine, who had just come
over, using u pen of peculiar con-
structon, designed with special ref
erence to those untidy persons who,
like myself, ink their fingers when
they write. Now, my friend is
man whose hands are as white as
lilies, with finger nails like rosebuds
in tint-noticeable hands, even re-
markable. considering that he is an
elderly man. and who occasionally
helps with the lighter work on his
farm in Nebraska. Catch him ink
ing his fingers!
Why, where did you get that
nice pen?' I asked him, vista of
blissful exemption from an uniuked
middle finger opening my joyous, 4
eXpectant mind.
Elm Omaha, he answered. /" It's
the incest thing. I used to ink my
fingers before I got it!'
He did! He linked his fingers!
That was enough for me. got the
name of the merchant from whom he
bought the pen. the price of it, and
enclosing the money, I sent from
Paris to Omaha for the pen.
BY the last steamer it came to me.
The stationer ut Omaha was ont of
them, but he sent to Sioux City, to
the man who advert1ses them, for
another lot. And now here is where
the laugh comes in. The pens are
an English invention, and tons of
them can be bought in London, if
desired. At the stationers, next
door, I could have got what I had
sent after to Sioux City. But how
could know that? I dealt with the
man that advertised.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

The Congregational Church. Or
ganized in April, 1873, was the fifth
church in Olympia. The special
covenant of organization, and other
public services, took place at the
Presbyterian Church, which was
courteously offered for the purpose.
The council of churches called to
advise, was represented by the pas
tors and delegates from Portland,
The Dalles and Seattle. The
churches at Astoria and Salem re-
sponded by letter.
The necessity for this new church
grew out Of peculiar circumstances.
The church records contain the fol-
lowing statement: Deacon Alfred
Walker, Of New Haven, Conn. while
here two .eaIs ago, proposed to
raise fund to lay the foundation OF
aConeregational Church in Olympia

A LETTER dated at Yakima City, in

announcement that Chief Moses, his
brother, Massachee Bill, and seven
warriors, were captured on that day
and brought into town. The cir

AdulteratiOn of Sugar.

We believe it to be one of the
bounden duties of public journalists
to expose every means whereby the
unsuspecting public are cheated or
imposed upon. Much harm might
ensue were newspapers to maintain
s!olid indifference to those things;
on the contrary, however, by justly
showing them up, as only public
prints can do, the nefarious doings
of INSCRIPTIONS dealers are often
nipped in the bud and the guilty
parties brought to justice. The fact
has lately come to light that many
of the so-called finest grades of
sugar are SO adulteratcd as to rem
der them fearfully dangerous to be
taken into II treat
ing this subject, we do not feel that
we are required to enter into all the
details as to how we received our
information. Like al intelligent
juryman we claim to be somewhat
posted on the doings of the day the
world over; nor shall we take the
trouble to ascertain whether any of
the adulterated articles against
which we raise the cry of warning
are sold by our home dealers. We
simply undertake to sly that some of
the finest, and highest-priced sugars
are scandalously and dangerously
adulterated. These sugars, SO far
as we know, are sold in every town
and State in the Union, and it be-
hooves intelligent people to he post
ed III regard to them. The adulter-
alton of which we are about to speak,
is a thousand times moro criminal
than that of the Graham flour, to
which we alluded few days ago.
The article introduced into the sugar
is none other than metal. Tons of
tin have been used in this way by the
largest sugar dealers. The metal
is rolled into thin sheets and then
subjected to the action of muriatic
acid. by this means, the metal is re-
duced to an impalpable white pow |
der, then washed, and freely mixed
with the sugar. Now if one wants
to have his stomach metal-lined, or
worse consequences to happen, he
has only 10 Use this sugar. An ar
ticle of sugar thus adulterated is re-
markably heavy for its bulk, and an
expert, by nicely comparing different
samples with reference to bulk and
the known specific gravity of sugar,
can easily detect the fraud.

Olympia Landmarks.
THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

The historyiof the Baptist Church
of Olympia, affords a significant
example of what can be accomplished
by business integrity, devotion to
religious principle and indomitable
perseverance,. Ever since the found
ing of our city, this denomination
has had a respectable representation
among our people. While yet, how
ever, their number was too small to
venture or Justify distinct church
organization, they did not hide their
light under bushel, nor did they
allow their strength to be absorbed
by other denominations. On the
contrary. they persistently main
tanned their original identity, while
freely mingling in the church ser
vices and dovotiona! exercises of
their evangelical neishbors. The
Methodist and Presbyterian churches
of this place will hold in grateful re-
membrane both the spiritual and
temporal assistance they have re-
ceived from their Baptist brethren
while struggling for precarious ex-
istence through the years that are
gone. But in the fullness of time,
an enduring organization was effect
ed. On the fifteenth day of March,
A. D., 1872, the Baptist Church of
Olympia filed its articles of incor-
poration and became one of the inn
perishable institutions of our grow
ing city. The following are the
names of the corporate members of
this society: William H. Mitchell,
Martha T. Mitchell, NJ. E. Traver,
Bennett w. Johns, F. W. Fine,
Roger S. Greene, Grace w. Greene,
Jane E. Wooster, Carrie Clark, Mrs.
Hartsuck, Emma NJ. Wiggin, En-
lily T. Munson, Joseph Casio and
julia A. L. Casio. The Board of
Trustees, for the first year, was rep
resented by the following persons:
William H. Mitchell, Bennett w.
Johns, M. L. Traver, F. w. Fine
and Roger S. Greene. William H.
Mitchell was chosen President of the
Board. For some time after this Or
ganikation, the Society held its meet
ings for worship in the Reading
Room of Tacoma Lodge of Good
Templars. About four years ago,
the society bought a lot and erected
its present elegant church edifice on
the northeast corner of Adams and
Eighth Streets. This property is
entirely free from debt, and will, un-
meet ali the require
ments of the church for a term of
years. The pulpit has been success
lively filled by Joseph Casio, Roger
S. Greene and J. P. Ludlow; the
latter gentleman still remaining the
pastor of the Church. The edifice
is conveniently seated and provided
with an efficient organ for choir and
other purposes. A fourishing Sun
day School, in possession of we'll
stocked library, has been maintained
ever since the organization of the So
eiety.

About Genoa.

To say that Genoa is built on the side OF
a mountain or high hill does not give cor
rect idea. The city, or rather the mountain,
is crcscent-shaped, the two points extend
ing far out into the sea. These two points
form the harbor, and with the aid of an
artificial brcakWater the harbor is very fine
one. Thus, the railroad in entering Genoa
tunnels Its way through one OF the points
Of the crescent, and in getting out tun-
nels the other point, and this latter tun-
mel seems to be nearly two miles long.
The ascentfrom the water is at first gradual,
but then becomes very steep. There are
only two streets running north and south
that can be used for drays and wagons, all
the streets back of this being so laid out as
to enable carriages to work gradually up to
the higher levels. II your readers have
seen high hill terraccd for grape-vines
they can form some idea OF how large city
like Genoa, almost as large as Baltimore, IS
built. The houses are all very high, rang
ing from six, seven, eight, nine, and some
times ten stories; but at some points we
could see the lower stories OF houses over
the roofs of these tall houses. Some Of
the walls sustaining these terraces are
fifty to seventy feet high-as high as the
roofs OF the houses on the lower level,
This is not only in one portion of the city,
but in all directions, except on the western
side, which is the harbor. The city does
not extend up to the top Of the mountain
on any side, but beyond the houses there
are cemeteries, churches, and Notifications,
which are so high up that they can be seen
from almost any part of the city. On the
north side OF the city the whole mountain
side is taken up by country residences, sur
rounded by terraces and the most beautiful
gardens, with oranges and lemons growing
in the open air On trees from twelve to
twenty feet high.-C. G. Fulton's letter.
