THE OLYMPIA CELEBRATION.-By post
ers which came from Olympia this week
we learn that the arrangements made by
the managers of the Fourth of July Cele-
bration ut that place are, SD far, as fol-

Letters of Postmaster-General Key and
Alexander ii. Stevens, regarding the Pot
ter investigation, have created a sensation
among the politicians, especially those at
tached tn the Democratic party. The
Republican leaders attach much imp0r-
lance to both these letters, aud believe
they will have marked effect upon the
country. A prominent Republican Sena-
tor said to-day that he regarded Keys ap-
peal to the people OF the South to elcc-
only members of Congress who are
pledged to resist, at all hazards, the revo-
lutlonary schemes of the mischief makers
IN the House, as both manly and patriotic.
and that 1t will receive the approval of the
people of all the North, who are opposed
to the re-opening Of the presidential ques-
tion. This letter, said the Sc nator, will
create consienation IN the Democratic
ranks, and have the effect to either stop
the revolutionary course OF few Demo-
cratic leaders. or precipitate matters so
that the country will clear away the mist
before the eyes of many Democrats and
show them that their leaders mean revolu-
tion and nothing else. Stephens !etter Is
discussed as much rs Is Gen. Keys, and
It's plain, truthful utterances are very an
moving to those Democrats who are In
sympathy with the Potter investigation.

Beauty in Women.

1t is difficult to say what constitutes
the beauty OF a woman. The Sand
wIch Islanders estimate women by
their weight. The Chinese require
them t have deformed feet and back
teeth. \ girl must be tattooed sky
blue and wear a nose ring to satisfy a
South Sea Islander, African princes
require their brides to have their teeth
filed like those Of a saw. American
women wear striped stockings. and
draw their dresses SO tightly as to
show almost every lineament Of their
delicate forms. And tAu. -oes the
