The papers Of Oregon are very
justly castigating Gov. Tbayer, OF
that State, for his miserable display
of atheism in his recent thanksgiV-
ing proclamation. There is not a
word in the document acknowledg.
ing either the existence of, or a de
pendence upon, Supreme Being =
all of which makes it the siIliest
farce possible. Gov. Thayer in this
matter makes the identical and la
mentable display Of imbecility shown
by Congressman Whitaker when
the latter was chief executive Of Or
egon. 1t is an insult to Christian
civilization.

Decay of the Teeth

Arises from various causes, but princi-
pally it may be attributed to early neg
lect or the indiscriminate use of tooth
powders and pastes, which give momen-
tary whiteness to the teeth while they cor
rode the enamel. The timely use OF that
delicate aromatic tooth-wash, Fragrant
SOZODONT, will speedily arrest the pro-
gress Of decay, harden the gums, and I'M
part delightful fragrance to the breath,
1t removes those ravages which people
sustain In their teeth from the use of sweet
and ACID articles.

our CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. Daniel, whose lengthy COM
munication appears in today's AR
GUS, is a man who travels with his
ewes and ears open. Thers is solid
sense and reason enough in his letter
~ furnish food for much serious re-
fiection and numberless newspaper
articles. His keen observations re-
gardiug Puget Sound, the Columbia
river and railroad movements, prove
him to be well informed and capable
of forecasting the future with little
uncertainty. Regarding the mention
of our natural resources and proba'
bic developments in the future In
usilizing certain substances hitherto
considered worthless, there is enough
perhaps, to start some lnqulrlng
genius to Investigating in order to
find out about the practical value of
the suggestions. There is some in
formation, too, about the Chinese ma
tion that is not generally known.
We think, however, that our friend
entertains views of the Celestials
rather too elevated to be practical.
His ideas and those of the ordinary
Pacific Coast man represent two ex-
tremes between which there is a
happy medium founded in common
sense, sound theory and practical
knowledge. He is at fault, too, in
supposing that he has patent right
to the idea that Puget Sound forests
are being impoverished to enrich
San Francisco. The very identical
argument that he puts forth upon
this point may be found in the first
editorial correspondence to the AR
GUS, written after we took charge Of
it nearly four years ago. If MIR.
Daniel we're to read Puget Sound
papers regularly, he would find them
generally alive to every vital interest
of this section. Upon tho whole,
however, we find the letter in ques
tion very interesting one, and our
readers will doubtless render the
same verdict. II the writer can as
sist in getting any Congressional aid
for Puget Sound, as he seems to be
willing to do, we will unanimously
vote him warm spot in the affec.
tons of all who are interested in the
result.

AN exchange remarks upon the
scurious" fact that the men the re-
publican party have sent to the
White Honse have all been men OF
humble birth and have fought their
way up by merit alone. The rail-
splitter, the tailor, the tanner, the
humble attorney and the tow-path
boy. Well, there is nothing very
curious about this matter when we
consider that the republican party is
eminently a party Of the people.
Its only requirements in the way OF
qualifications for high places are
pure merit and availability.

IT seems strange that when any
thing for the welfare of Port Town
send is publicly suggested, that SO
few Of our up-Sound papers pay any
attention to it. Whether it is from
feeling of jealousy or contempt
we know not, nevertheless it is q
fact. General Sherman, in his an
nual report, now recommends that
Port Townsend be properly fortified
and garrisoned, and as the coming
Congress will be quite likely to act
on it, we shall soon hear of some
thing in that direction.

badly, and expressing fears that they were

work was done and the fire quickly extin-
guished. The late arrival Of the steamer

at the moment OF the separation OF the
soul from the body, when the particular
judgement takes place. As the priest
touched each person with the ashes, he
repeated, "Aemellto homo, qtid ptilTtLs "a, Il

Harpers Ferry in 1876, have made very
decided impression in our community and
maintained their reputation by their
modest and gentlemanly and lady like
behavior, as we'll as by their remarkable
singing. There Is a charm about the
melodies Of the old plantation which does
take hold Of people, and a thrill in the
wild singing which stirs to the very
depth. Many Of our citizens have been
present at every concert given, and yet,
write in q request for another concert In
one Of our public halls, where the singers
may not at all be restrained by the sacred
surroundings Of a church orSnnday school
room. That the concerts Saturday will be
. great success in every way no one can
doubt.
