Your favor of Aug. 10th duly re-

prospecting as hard and fast as we

come to the Territory upon our re.

settle, but arrangements are now be

Of colonists conformably TO various

THOSE who indulge the hallucina-
tion that live stock in this section Of
country is not being improved in size
and quality may be enlightened by
the fact that span Of young geld
ing horses were recently brought to
this place from Dungeness one of
them from the farm of Mr.. Merchant,
the other from Mr.. EvansO that cost
the sum of 1925 apiece. They are
the property of B. S. Miller, Esq, of
this city, and are to be used as
draught horses at the iron mines near
here. They would weigh, we should
judge. about 400 each.

RETURNED.-Judge Kuhn arrived
here last Saturday, after a somewhat
protracted trip TO the Eastern States,
having been absent from home about
FIVE months. He came overland, by
way of Boise City and Walla Walla.
Mr. Kuhn says he passed at least
FIVE hundred emigrant wagons en-
route for Washington Territory--all
of which he thinks indicates that our
population is increasing as rapidly
as ought to be wished for. He is
better satisfied than ever with his
chosen home, and says he saw no
place during his absence that seemed
more prosperous than does Wash
ington Territory.

TIE contest for the Republican
nomination for Delegate to Congress
is rapidly narrowing down to trial
Of popularity between H,n. T. H.

present, the indications ire that Mr..
Brents is slightly head, though nei.
ther is likely to have a majority on
the first ballot. Hon. ]. B. Allen
will 90 into the convention with a
few votes, but his streI 9Th will be
Insignificant compared With that of
the others-though he may possibly
hold the balance of power. One
gratifying point is that either Of the

English Struggle With the Letter H.
Richard Grant White

The ill-treatment which the letter h
receives from very large proportion of
the English people is, of course, known
to the most superficial observer Of their
speech. 1t is tile substance and the point
Of standing joke which never loses its
zest. Mr.. Punch's artists, when hard
put to it for the subject of social
sketch, can always fall back upon the
misfortunes of the aspirate. H in speech
is an unmistakable mark of class distinc-
ton in England, as every observant per-
son soon discovers. / remarked upon
this to an English gentleman, an officer,
who replied, ..It's the greatest blessing in
the world; sure protection against cads.
You meet fellow who is we'll dressed
and behaves himself decently enough,
and yet you don't know exactly what to
make of him; but get him talking, and
if he trips upon his his that settles the
question. He's a chap you'd better be
shy Of" Another friend said to me of a
London man of wealth, and Of such in
fluence as come from wealth and good
nature. "The governor has lots of sense,
and is the best fellow in the world, but he
hasn't an h to bless himself with" And
there seems to be no help for the person
who has once acquired this'm Of pro-
nunciation. Habits Of speech, when once
formed in early life, are the most inerad-
icable of all habits, and this one, / be-
lieve, is absolutely beyond the reach of
any discipline, and even of prolonged
association with good speakers.
In England I observed many people in
constant struggle with their h, over
coming and being overcome, and some
times triumphing when victory was de-
feat. The number of his that come to an
untimely end in England daily is quite
incalcuiable. Of the 100000 of peo-
pie, there can not be more than 100000
who are capable Of a healthy, we'll

bers of this innocent letter that are sacri-
feed between sun and sun. If we could

a need as that which we supply by our

THE FLEECE OF GOLD.

In no branches of agricultural produc-
tions or manufactures have there been SO
great an increase in values and quanti-
ties as in wool-raising and woolen fabri-
cations in the United States within the
past twenty years. In 1860 the wool
crop amounted to 60,000,000 pounds, in
1867 the product amounted to 47,000,-
600 and in 1877 to 2OS,OOO 900 pounds,
an increase of 246 per cent. in seventeen
years. The annual product of the wool
manufacture of the United States is esti-
mated as follows: In the six New Eng
land States, $127, 100000; in the four
Middle States of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware, sos, $40, 900;
in the twelve Western States and Utah,
$41, 100000; in the twelve Southern
States, $S,S30,0O0; in California, Oregon
and Washington Territory, 81, 7,25O,OOO-
making grand total of $2S3, 100000, a
footing that in less than eight years
would pay the National debt with a mar
gin over.
The capital employed in woolen manu-
featuring is estimated at $3OO,OOO,OOO,
and constantly increasing, giving employ
ment to over quarter of a million of
people directly and indirectly. During
the period above mentioned the quality
of goods of home make has improved
greatly. In nearly all staple goods for
wearing apparel the manufacture is
equal to any in the world, the only ex-
ceptions being in the more costly foreign
goods. American carpets-ingrain, ia
pestry, Brussels, brocatel and Wilton
have no superior, and by the improve
ment in machinery made by American
inventors they are now manufactured for
from 10 to 80 per cent. cheaper than they
can be in any other country. As mat
ter of interest it may be stated that
Philadelphia is now the largest wool
manufacturing city in the world, one
firm using on an average fifteen tons of
wool per day.
