' Washington Territory has adopted a
constitution for the proposed State OF
Washington. The name is good, but the
population-not over IS ,O0O-is too small
for State. Washington has fertile
soil, genial climate, and all the requis.
ties for a flourisbing commonwealth, ex-
cept enough men and women. especially
women. It would not do to admit to
equal representation in the Uaited States
Senate with New York State which has
not the population of q New York city
ward.

ships and at lighthouses. The effect of
the density of the atmosphere, Or sonor-
GUS fog, is said to be rendered apparent
by these rockets, which are scarcely
heard at a distance of two and half
miles at the sea level but, when they
burst at an altitude of 900 yards. the re-
port is heard as thunder -like peal for
10 miles.

Mr.. Jay Gould's Personal Habits

Mr.. Jay Gould's Personal Habits.
From he st. Louis Republican.
Mr.. Gould's millions now crowd
close to those of Vanderbilt. He is a
man of finer texture thar the old Com
modore's son. He doesn't run to fine
houses, costly stables, and blooded
steeds- At night, when he dismisses
his operators from the telegraph offices
in his W house in Fifth avenue, and
enters up in a little book the Geographic
reports of the receipts of the various
railroads which he owns, he does not
go to a club to ~carouse, to a banquet to
steam up with champagne, or to a
theatre; he retires to the recesses of a
peaceful library, and, with his young
sons about him, reads the Latin classics,
the world forgetting, but not by the
world forgot--by a large majority. The
next morning early he has the telegraph
doing lightning service, and he is send
ing an electric shock through Wall
street as soon as the bulls and the bears
come into that field for pasture. Mr..
Gould is a liberal man, although when
he makes a bequest he does not have
the information written in manifold
and sent to all the newspapers. The
first news New York had of his gift to
the Memphis sufferers of $1,000 came
from Memphis, as did the news of the
second gilt of $4,000.
Mr.. Gould, being a small mar of little
physical prowess, is naturally not dis
posed TO put himself recklessly In the
way Of the horns of the bulls and the
claws of the bears. There are some
men in Wall street, as Mr.. Gould has
reason to know, who wish to resent
their losses with their fists, and are dis
posed to follow Major Selover's example
and despatch him bodily down into a
convenient area. Accordingly, MIR.
Gould keeps his office guarded by a
stout Irishman, who prevents the in
trusion Of visitors, and he has usually a
private way to get out into the street.
He has, too, it is said, "a big italian
b~ookkseper who accompanies him on
many of his business trips about town,
and stands ready TO protect his million
aire employer.

Didn't Want a Decoration.

In one of his last visits to the Valsav-
rancho, Victor Emmanuel expressed a
wish to present the old Syndic with the
order of the Crown of Italy. ''Thank
you, Monsieur le Roi," said the old
man, who was by birth a peasant;
''that sort of thing does not suit US
all that is for the ine cloth-coats."
"But when it is the king himself who
offers it to you?" SIT is all one, Mon
sieur lie Roi; we peasants have to work,
and with this decoration one has to set
up to be a gentleman. We cannot live
like gentlefolks." The king said no
more about it, but sent the worthy
Syndic some remarkably horned cattle
and sheep, which were accepted with
out demur.- Temple Bar.

THE o L MESSAGE.
Names of the Papers That Published it
in Advance.

Referring to the recent theft of the
presidents message, the Philadelphia
Times says:
Four newspapers are entitled to the
doubtful honor of the presidents mes.
sage thirty-six hours before its delivery
to congress. They are the New York
Times, the Chicago Times, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer and the Chicago Tribune.
OF these the three first named were YER
liable purchasers of the stolen goods,
paying $500 apiece, or 81, 500 in all, to
the thief who huckstered the document
around Newspaper Row. The Chicago
Tribune, with more enterprise and less
faint upon its honesty, procured it after
4 O'Clock in the morning from its cor
respondent in New York, and, using
fourteen wires, had tile whole 15, 600
words te%legraphed and put in type for
a second edition printed for early break
fast tables. 1t is amusing to observe
how these newspapers respectively cack-
led over their big egg. The New York
Times, proud of the thing, but half as
named of the way it was done, was con-
tent with a modest announcement that
it was a piece of exclusive news, and
will probably never mention the subject
again. The Chicago Times found itself
in the notifying position of tapping
its wings and Growing through a column
over a claim which vas unfounded, ow-
ing to the competing enterprise of its
rival in the same city. Nevertheless it
is proud Of being a receiver of the stol-
en- goods, and does not hesitate to say
SO. The Cincinnati Enquirer INDUCED
in a little western brag, but tried very
hard to talk about its enterprise as a
matter of course. The Chicago Tri--
bune, which was least culpable and
more entitled to praise perhaps than
any Of the rest, showed more conscience
and better taste. 1t bought the news
in open market, claims no particular
credit for its enterprise and does not
hesitate to condemn the u~nderhanded
and surreptitious WAY in which the
message was secured for publication.
This is the way all reputable journalists
must feel about the matter.

We MuN RaYa the Nan.

The apprehension of this community
ia stirred to its depths by the repeated
occurrence of ncendiary fires. Some
vile wretch has maliciousiy applied
the torch to a number of buildings
within the last few days. This COM
munity wants that man. SomebCdy
knows who he is. A conference has
been held, and in order to bring about
exposure and punishment, it is decided
tOinvite our citiZ TO subscribe fund
which shall be offeaed by parties as
a reward for his detection. II is bet
ter TO take action now than after
blocks of buildings have been de-
strOyed. We therefore request that
Messrs. D. 4. Carpenter, L. J. San
ford and JAS. ID. Cowan receive SUBJ
scriptions for fund to be C1ered as a
reward, and it is hoped that they will
be able to day to pledge five hundred
dollars for the arrest Of the culprit and
for evidence for his conviction.
