Colony and Academy.

Warrington Colony and Academy.
The articles of incorporation Of
the Washington Colony and Acad-
envy. with principal place of bust
ness at Seattle, have been fled with
the county auditor. Many of our
leading citizens from different parts
of the Territory are among the in
corporators. Its objects are to en-
courage immigration and to provide
locations for immigrants, to colon
ize such immigration for the pur-
pose of establishing, supporting and
maintaining an academy or seminary
of learning at some suitable place in
! Washington Territory to be selected
by the Board of Trustees. the lands
for such purpose to be acquired
either by purchase or under the pro-
visions of the United States statutes
providing for and regulating the To-
eating of town sites, homesteads, and
preemptions.
This colony association will cores
pond with families in the Eastern
States, and give them information
regarding the resources of this Ter
ritory, and advise them how to get
here with tie least possible expense.
Circulars, ETC., will be printed to
furnish this information. The mem
bers of the association do all of this
labor without compensation.
BLOODY AFFRAY.--Between the
hours of IL and l o'clock last
night a row occurred IN a saloon
at the lower end of Washington
street between two laboring men,
an Irishmen named Mike Doyle
and a Swede named Joningson.
Both parties were intoxicated at
the time, and from arguing they
soon came to blows, when Doyle
seized a tumbler and threw 1t at
the Swede with great force, strik-
ing him on the side of the head,
and cutting a frightful cash from
which the blood flowed in tor
rents. Doyle then fled, and the
injured man was conveyed to
the office of DR.. Baker, where
his wounds were properly dress
ed. Before he could receive
medical assistance, however, he
had lost an immense quantity Of
blood-so much, in fact, that he
fainted-and his clothing was
literally soaked with the eprecious
fluid, presenting ghastly and
sickening spectacle. The brutal
perpetrator OF the deed was
tracked to lodging hoase by
Officer Wright, arrested and put
in Jail. He was brought before
Justice Scott this morning on a
charge of assault and battery,
and fined s75 and costs. The in
jured man is out on the street
to-day with his head so covered
with bandages, it is hardly pos
sible to tell whether it is a hu-
man head or a rag ball.

DIscoNTINUED.-W. 81. Bow has
discontinued his line of stages from

tie going by way of the Seattle and
Walla Walla railroad.

Chinese Ingenuity.

The skill displayed by the Chinese in
carving ivory balls within each other,
has excited the wonder and admiration
of Europeans. Nothing can afford a
greater proof of patience and perseyer-
ance, as well as of the taste OF a Chi
nese handicraftsman, than one of these
elegant baubles, each ball being exquls-
itely carved, and no two alike in pat
tern. Each of these balls rolls freely
within that which incloses it, and Is
visible through apertures; so that,
however many there may be, the beau
ties Of each can be examined, and the
number of the whole counted. Much
time is spent upon the carving of these
toys; for the cleverest artist will en-
ploy whole month in the execution of
each separate ball; consequently the
labor OF two years is not infrequently
bestowed on the production of single
toy, which is formed out of a single
globe of ivory, and has no junction in
any part The outside of this globe is
first carved in some very open pattern
and is then carefully cut with fine
sharp instrument through the openings
until complete coating is detached
from the solid part inside, as the pee
of an orange might be loosened with q
scoop from the fruit without beine
taken off. One hollow ball is thus
formed, with a solid one inside of it
The surface Of the inner ball is ther
carved through the interstices of the
outer one, and, when finished, is sub
jected to the same operation as tn,
first, and thus a second hollow ball il
produced, still with solid one O
| smaller dimensions inside. This pro

The Ideal End Of Teaching.

1t is symmetry of manhood which is
the ideal end of all intelligent teaching:
and that this symmetry must be con
ceived of and, as far as possible, secur-
ed, not in an external fashion, by apply
a smattering of many knowledges. but
in interior reasonableness, by training
all the powers of knowing, feeling, and
willing, to act together in strong and
yet harmonious way. The harmonizing
of the claims of different studies and
methods to place in the curriculum, is
to the end of producing the utmost har-
mony of soul. | have chosen the term
symmetry of manhood, instead of sym
metry of culture, that [ may better i'm
press this great truth. The aim of
teaching lies in the pupil, in the whole
nature of the pupil The success of
teaching is judged not primarily by the
number of tidbits of knowledge taken
from all the various cupboards of hu-
man research, but by the appetite and
muscularity and working force develop
ed In those who are fed. No being,
known by sense to us, but man. can
have culture. No man has received
symmetrical culture unless he has been
set upon the road toward broad. gen
erous manhood-Rer Geo. T. L0dd.

WE SHALL KNOW.


When the mists have rolled in splendO
From the beauty of the hills.
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in splendOr on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
If we err in human blindness
And forget that we are dust.
If we miss the law of kindness
When we struggle to be just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our way,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone.
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have veiled lis
From the faces of OurOWn,
Oft we deem their love has failed us,
And we tread our path alone;
We should see them near and truly,
We should trust them day by day,

If the miStS were cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the mists have risen above us
AS our father knows his own,
Face to face with those that love ms,
We shall know as we are known,
Love beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe Of day;
Heart to heart we hide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
When the day of light is dawning,
And the mists have cleared away.

Good Suggestions for Girls.
From the ST. Louis Spirit.

rToHl tue St LOUIS spirit
The time has passed when woman
must be pale and delicate to be interest
ing-when she must be totally ignorant
of all practical knowledge to be called
refined and high d-when she must
know nothing of the current political
news Of the day, or be called masculine
and strong minded. 1t is not sign of
high birth or refinement to be sickly
and ignorant. Those who affect any
thing OF the kind are behind the times.
and must shake and air themselves.
mentally and physically, or drop under
the hrm strides of common sense ideas,
and be crushed into utter insignifcance.
In these days an active, rosy-faced girl.
with brain quick and clear, warm, light
heart, a temper quickly heated at in
tended insult or injury, and Just as
quick to forgive; whose feet can run as
fast as her tongue, and put her out of
breath; who is not afraid of freckles, or
to breathe the pure air of heaven, unre-
strained by the drawn curtains of
close carriage, and, above all, who can
speak her mind and give her opinion on
important topics which interest intelli-
gent peoples the true girl who will
make good woman. Even fops and
dandies. who strongly oppose woman's
rights, like woman who can talk well,
even if she is not handsome.
THE "GooD TINE COMING. In that
good time coming" there will be SYM
pathy between the teacher and parent.
Instead of children drawing themselves
up in battle-array, as if the teacher was
sworn enemy, they will be tractable.
Disclplining school will not bring pre-
mature wrinkles and gray hairs. The
teacher will no longer be regarded with
felicitous notes like the following:
mls-you say you don't want my Boy
shode in his rithmetic now i've teached
A good spell and l she'll use NY own
Judgment bout it she'll do as many
sums for my Boy in his rithmetick as
chews it you wood encurridge Schollers
NOR in thare steddeys and knot bee so
hard on sum think thay wood like yeu
Better don't want my gurl to studdey
mentel rethmetlc It's no count fur gurls
but put her threw in readin writin and
spelling that's what believe in when
they pay you sech big wagesi think YOU
orter hev evenin spelin and ritin schools
yours respectively"
In short, when that millenniai day
shall have been ushered in, teachers, re-
tanning their independence of character
and so, liking their work, will, like the
rest OF mankind, live to a green old age.
