Yesterday there was a trifinQ law suit
where both were 80 obstinate that jury
had to decide the case. This obstinacy
cost Mr.. Muntz about $50.
Your correspondent had the pleasure
to be shown all over the Willard House
by the genial proprietor. Everything If

with view on the bay and Puyallup

The table is supplied with tho very best
the market affords. There is no saloon

From q Portland standpoint the ed
itor Of tho Willamette Farmer takes the
view following:
The farmers Of Western Oregon and
Washington should appreciate the GER
tainties Of the future 10 b able to pre-
pare for that future. Standing on the
hills above San Francisco, lately, and
viewing that great city, with the sister
city acroes the bay, Ne caught glimpse
of what We may expect hero. We have
shown that this country posseeses nat
oral resources even greater than Cali
foruia has; that our Agricultural area 10
a. great, and the country eastward is far
better than Utah ard Nevada offer.
WhAtsvsr element Of greatness Califo--
mia possesses IL fully eQualled here. We
soon shall have equal facilities for trade
With Asia and the Atlantic States, and
tho natural consequence will be that this
city viii soon have hundred thousand
inhabitants. Great manufacturing in
terssts Will spring mp hero. Tho coun.
try nearest the city will have 10 produces
what this coming population will need
for use. A transformation viii soon
take place, in many respects, that will
astonish those Who live in this valley
moro than IL viii the outside world.
Two years ago Portland had not over
1900 inhabitants, and East Portland
5000, while nov 81, 900 people live within
easy view Of the hills back Of this city
The development Of the future will b
even moro rapid.

the manners of q modest gentleman
He fell to Specializing on what ne
should do. Somebody had been KIND
enough TO secure him the reversion OF
regular job at g. per day in one OF our
manufacturing establishments, with
prospect of prefcrment. Our young
friend. however. has been up IN the
Whatcom country, where he worked IN
a logging camp juss long enough TO md
out that hs did not posses the robuss
physique necessary for that Kind Of
labor. BE saw. however, in that region
much vacant government land. some
agricultural and some timber. he has
money enough on deposit to support
himself while psrfscting land claims
and pay all charges at the land ofdos.
His father, however, wishes him TO work
for q salary. The young man II in
doubt. He asked our advice. We told
hin, to 90 and take up his claim and lot
us write TO his father and stavs Oh row.
Now suppose this young man accepts a
clsrkship or q laborer's position. De
can't reasonably expect more than go
psr month at the BEST. He has been
accustomed TO the comforts Of home,
and lives comfortably and soberly, and
wouldn't be likely to live otherwise un-
der any circumstances. Out Of his
sixty dollars Per month. if he got that
much, and had no sickness or other e1-
traordinary demand on his purse, he
might hope at the end Of each month,
after paying for board. washing and
clothes, to have from $40 to $l5. In
five years at the best be might hope to
have $1,000, taxes paid and interest add
cd. Now let him 90 and take up his
agricultural and timber claims, and
stay by them until he gets patents. All
this can be done in less than five years,
considerably less. Very we'll. His ag-
ricultural claim will be worth 5000 in
lo08 tuAu tWO yootb. ~ no k0so koO~
timber claim $1,000 won't, or shouldn't,
buy the stumpsee on fourth of it.
These are facts, facts for young men
with a few dollars, say two hundred or
three hundred dollars, in their pockets
to think of. And if any young fellow"
will look at it in the right light, and
take up his claims not with view to
selling them as soon a., or before, the
title vests in him, but with view to be-
come farmer and the seller Of stump
age when stumpaRe will be stumpage, we
tell him that right here ON Puget Sound
he can get, and keep after he gets it, a
better thing than falls to the share of
ono man In a thousand who seeks a
clerks or laborer's terth and trusts to
luck to have the wheel of fortune pick
him up and turn him over and drop
him in soft place. The young man
who secures l60 acres Of land on Puget
Sound and holds on to it and works it
for what il ia worth has AN independent
future before him.

CnURCm PROGRESS.

The church growth of Seattle and
New Tacoma 10 something unprece-
dented, We believe, in the great North
Pacific country.
There the Methodist Episcopalians are
Just finishing up new church. and the
Presbyterians will dedicate new ono
ON Sunday next. The Episcopslians are
building q costly house Of stone, while
the Roman Catholics will soon begin to
build large wooden church. Other
denominations there have built or i'm
proved during the past year.
Hero NO less has been done and is do
ing. The Catholics arc now finishing
the largest church in tho Territory, and
also the largest hospital in tho Terri
tory. The Episcopalians have put in a
now and splendid great organ, and have
enlarged and improved their chapel in
the northern part Of town, have kept up
their school and are preparing for q
hospital. The First Baptist Church are
getting ready for an organ like those in
troduced BY the Catholics and Episco-
'palians; tho second Baptist Church has
been organized, while the Scandinavian
Baptists have built house Of worship,
have q pastor, and are getting on as
we'll ~ could b reasonably hoped. The
Congregationalists have put basement
under their old church. and arc also
moving TO get an organ. They have
also organized another society In the
northern end Of town, and have built
and opened . church there. The Meth
odist Episoopalians arc preparing to
build second church, and have besides
organized another society known - the
German n. E. Church. Tho Protestant
Methodists are now completing the
largest, handsomest and most costly
church building Of any possessed BY any
of the Protestant denominations in the
city. The Presbytsrians have gained
greatly in strength Of late, and arc pros
perinR visibly. A German Reformed
Church has been built within the year,
and 10 open every Sunday. OF the work
Of other denominations We are not %
oouvsrsant, but that they are moving on

the town. Two Roman Catholic clergy

We have before us, says the Portland,
(Me.) Transcript, in Mr.. Winters hand
writing, the first poem of his that was
ever published. In 1856, when he was in
his nineteenth year, he left it under the
door of the office of the Free Press, q
weekly paper published by William Lloyd
Garrison in Newburyport. Garrison had
Just attained his majority, and this pa
per was his first attempt at journalism.
1t was many weeks after young Whittier
left his manuscript TO its fate before he
heard from it. He was then working on
his fathers rocky farm, in H%ayerhil, and
his father was a patron of the Free Press.
Week by week the paper arrived, and the
heart of the young poet sunk within him
as he looked in vain for his verses.
One day he was at work with his Uncle
Moses repairing the stone fence by the
highway, he going along on the outside re-
placing the stones knocked from the wall
by sheep that had scrambled over 1t.
While SO engaged the poGtman came along
on horseback, n to save going to the
house he tossed the paper to young Whit
tier. II was opened with trembling fin
gers. The surprise of finding his poem at
the mead of the CORNER" was so bewilder-
ing that he was dazed by it, and is sure he
did not read a word. At length his uncle
called him to his senses by bidding him
keep to work. No success in future years
has ever stirred such a tumult of emotion,
us may well be believed.
Garrison was 80 impressed with his con-
tributor's work that he sought him out,
coming up to Haverhill on horseback to
interview him. When Garrison called,
young Whittier was at work in the field.
He was told a gentleman was in the house
inquiring for him. Nobody had ever call
ed for him before, and he felt like running
away. But he got into the house by the
back door, 'siicked up" and soon stood in
the presence of the young editor, who en-
couraged him to make good use of the tai
emit he had displayed. Whittier's father
came in during the interview, and begged
Garrison not to put such notions into the
head of his son. But it was too late; the
damage was done! This was the first
meeting of the two men, afterwards so in
timately associated in anti-slavery work.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-08-24

The first and most prevalent misconcep-
ton of tyros is, that an article or a poem,
to be brilliant, must be FLASHED off" They
have heard of course, that johnson wrote
"Rasselas" in a week; that Byron was
only thirteen days over "The Corsair - that
Scott was scarcely double that time in
writing a volume of "Waverley !" and that
Burns composed 'Tam O'Shanter' between
dinner and tea. But they forget that be-
fore L. sre tasks were accomplished, john
son had composed and published what
would fill volumes; Byron had already
spent the best of his life in constant prac-
lice Of his pen; Scott had edited the Bor-
Fer ballads, the works of Swift and Dry
sen, and written the greatest of his poems
and that Burns was an expert, and practi; =
ed in verse-making as a long experience in
the art could possibly make even him.
Apart altogether from the question of the
s~upereminent genius or all these men, they
did not attain to this degree of literary
celebrity all at once. They did not lump
into it as a man may get into a suit Of new
clothes. 1t was in each case the result of
tho unwearied practice of their art. There
have been instances, such as that of the
poet Campbell, where the genius ripened
carly, and where the first work was the
best; but this is very rare even in the
ranks of genius. The rule of these ranks
has rather been on the side of unmitigated
labor in correcting and perfecting their
compositions. Many of them, such as
Gibbon, wrote and re-wrote the first of
their productions three or four times over;
and after all, when they saw their work in
print, have been known to declare that they
thought they could still improve it were
they to write it over again. 1t may be
taken, therefore, as a fundamental rule in
attainment of literary excellence, to
spare no labar in periecting and polishing,
and to leave no word, or sentence, or pas
sage unimproved that still seems to admit
of improvement. Attention to this would
many n young writer some of his bit
tersst disappointments.
