Nav TACOMA. Sept Is. lssa.
EDITOR ISrEILIGxScER
know this subject IS Ioo dep for
my shallow brain to attempt to do jus
sics TO. still hope. however weak it
may be. you will find place fer it in
the INTELLiGENCER-
Many persons Of small minds and
limited resources End pleasure In talk
ing over the affairs of others. The
slightest sud most unimportant event
in social life is talked about and held
MP over against thipgs which have
happened before deductions are made
aud conclusions drawn. favorable or
unfavorable, as the case may be. How
eagerly they discuss characters and
assign motives. frequently doing hai m
by untruthful and exaggerated state
meats. SANDER is the hight Of their
ambition. They have no rslish for the
solid. the pure and the virtuous. Now
pause and consider for Q moment. Per-
hsps. while you are trying to injure the
character of an innocent person. the
busy tongue of SANDER is on y waiting
. favorable opportunity To take mp
your name and handy il around as
chat before the wind; aud it will have
as little mercy on you as you have had
on others This is not sermon to
those who have never felt the sting Of
tho slsnderer or the cutting cant Of the
hypocritical calumniator Their tor
turing tongue taints the very atmos-
phere with their venom; it spits on the
very face of death, only to torment and
break afresh the wounded heart of the
living. They have no respect for the
livins-no regard for the dead. They
unsarth the pallid corpse. tear from il
the shrond. and exult in casting odinm
upon the defenseless corpse. All, what
polluting stream is that which flows
from q cruel heart!
The best preventive of gossip and
Islander is to associate as much IS posi-
BILE with busy. intelligent people. Such
persoDs ere sure to have enough to talk
about in facts of general interest which
will lead the thoughts out into wider
aud deeper channels. Believe me,
friends, it is aot the best nor is it al
ways the most intelligent that move in
what the world sees fit to call the
highest society. Now all you have to
do to enter the upper ten and be called
mice" and "a darling" is to get the
majority on your side, and you are
safe. let your cause be ever so bad.
Give five hundred dollars to public
institution ;:let the fact be spread abroad
IN the newspapers. aud you will have
the name of public bsnefactor. II at
the same time you withhold ten thou
said dollars justly due q family of
orphans, the gift will set the matter
right aud you will not be rsproached.
The question. rs it right" is seldom
asked; but quite often the question.
"What will people say?" wish | could
say. aud speak truthfully, that Tacoma
was free from all Mother Grundys
But. alas. it is only too true that we
have the plague here as well rs at other
places Oh that there could be found
place where, Instead Of Islander and
gossip, love and friendship was the
ruling law. L. L. Mem.

is MARS INHABITED.

There is no other planet of the solar
system. says a scientific paper, which Of
fers so close an analogy 60 the earth
Mars. The telescope reveals to US the
figures of broad tracts of land aud ex-
gauses of sea upon his surface. The du-
rations of his day and night almost coin
eide with our own. His exterior expert
ences the alternating changes of the
seasons. His nights are Illuminated by
two satellites, which present all the pbe-
nomena of our own moon, and more fire.
an atmosphere probably surrounds this
planet; IN fact, the existence of air is in-
dispensible to his other features. Hence
the inference that Mars is habitable
globe appears very obvious and fair
conclusion, and it would be inconsistent
to imagine that this planet, provided ap-
parently with all the requisite natural
facilities TO render life a necessary and
desirable feature of his surface, is
sphere of desolation, mass of inert mat
ter, which, though conforming to the
laws of gravitatiOn, is otherwise serving
no useful end, rs the abode and susten-
anoe of animate creatures. 1t is far more
in accordance with analogy and rational
speculation to conclude that Mars is the
center Of life and activity, and that his
surface Is teemiDg with living beings.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY IN
JACKSON'S TIME.

In former years, the widest gentlemen
used to spend their evening in decorous-
ly playing whist, with frugal suppers of
broiled oysters. bread and cheese. and
glass or two of madeira. The rollicking
Jrckson men substituted poker whist,
and indulged in frequent libations of
whisky, while their supper tables were
graced-according to the season-with a
baked raccoon; garnished with fried
sweet potatoes, or back ducks, or
shad broiled before hickory fire on an
oak board. Plantation tobacco was freely
smoked in pipes, but few, except the
members of the diplomatic corpse, in
dulged in cigars.
Assemblies were held once week be
tween Christmas Day and Ash Wednes-
day, to which all the respectable ladies
in the city who danced were invited. It
was also customary for those of the Cabi-
net officers and other high officials who
kept house to give at least one evening
party during each session of Congress,
invitations for which were issued. The
guests at these parties used to assemble
at about s o'clock, and after taking off
their wraps in an upper room they de-
scended to the parlor, where the host and
hostess received them. The older men
then went to the punch bowl, to criticise
the "brew" which it contained, while the
young people found their way to the din
ing room, almost invariably devoted to
dancing. The music was a piano and
two violins, and one of the musicians
called the figures for the cotillons and
contra dances. Those who did not
dance elbowed their way through the
crowd, conversing with acquaintances,
and the men frequently taking another
glass Of punch.
at 10 the guests were invited to the
supper table, which was often on the
wide back porch, which every Washing
ton house had in those days. The table
was always loaded with evidence of the
culinary skill of the lady of the house.
There was roast ham at one end, sad
die OF venison or mutton at the other, and
some roasted poultry or wild ducks mid
way; great variety of home baked cake
was a source of pride. and there was
never any lack of punch with decanters
of madeira. The diplomatic gave cam
pagne, but it was seldom seen except at
the legations. At IL there was a general
exodus, and after the usual scramble for
hats, cloaks and overshoes the guests
entered their carriages. Sometimes few
intimate friends of the hostess fingered
to epivy q OUntIa uariUU ~ uano Il part
ing drink of punch, but by midnight the
last guest departed, and the servants
began to blow out the candles with which
the house had been Illuminated.

SOMETHING NEW IN ENTO-
MOLOGY.

Last Sunday as Mr.. Jones was return
ing from church with his family he dis
covered new and singular looking bug
on his front door step. As he was some
thing of scientist he was naturally pleas
ed with the new specimen, and, forming
his pocket handkerchief into sort OF
cage, he pounced down on it, and sue
ceeded in capturing it.
Bring the microscope, children" he
called. "and tell your ma to hurry, L
want her to look at it; I'm sure 1t be-
longs to the Hemiptera class aud is q
new specimen, Here. Charlie, put your
eve to the ocular side and tell me what
you see"
"Oh, pa, amt it splendid? It's got
four wings, eight eyes, and, oh, my! amt
it a sparkler, though? Red, and green,
and yellow, and-ohl it is getting away,
amt it pa?"
"Then it isn't dead' cried Mr.. Jones,
in ecstasy; ST wa-s-n.t q -ui tie sure wheth-
er it moved or not. Let me looki Yes!
it's terrestrial, I think after all; 1t be-
longs to the genus Pentatoma-the anten-
nae haye that peculiar flexible look; and
yet, now that L look again, the eyes seem
TO indicate that it is a phytocoris, in
which case it will be very destructive to
YOUR mas plants. and we must kill it at
once. I'll ask Prof. Sill. 1t will be, IN
any case, valuable addition to science.
Maria, where's the chloroform2"
Sup on the clock shelf; what are you
going to do with it" asked Mrs. Jones,
who had been giving her undivided at
tention to the baby.
"Kill this bug as soon as you have
examined it" answered Mr.. Jones in a
lofty voice. ~ shall present it to the
Detroit scientific association"
"Well, guess not, Mr.. Jones, broke
in his wife, who was looking with much
interest at the new specimen. 81 paid
