RrrOErIp CHANCE-lt Is with re-
;;ret we learn, from the Tacoma .New<,
that Gen. }. W. Sprague contem-
plates at the close of the year, sever
ing his connection with the Northern
Pacific Railroad, rs Superintendent
of tine Western Division. His re-
solve has been enforced by failing
health, and the necessity now seems
imperative for Il change of climate.
Who his successor will be is not
stated, but it will take a good man
to fill his place. lie has been SO
long identified with the enterprise
that he seems part of it, and it is
owing to his able management and
prudent dealings with the public,
that it to-day stands better with the
people than any other corporation.
Gen. SpraGue has not been of that
class who are SO elevated by place
and power as to ignore the rights of
tie humber citizens. In this day
of promp and vanity, and the super
cilious bearing of those pc scssn =;
authority, it is a p'e.sure to note
such Il marked exception to TIE
rule The best wishes of everybody
who knows Gen. Sprague will accom-
pany him wherever he may find a
new home, and that he may be
restored to perfect health will be the
subject of many earnest prayers.
THE wit who wrote the following
essay on the Goldfish is entitled to
Il premium of a bunch of chcroots:

The Goldfish no doubt does this to
secure a. nearly as possible Il dry,
biacins atmosphere. This pure air
of the submarine table land gives TO
the Goldfish that breadth of chest
and depth of lung that we nave al
ways SO noticed.
The glad, free smile of the cod
fish is largely attributed to the ex :
liberation OF this oceanic ultitoode
lum.
The correspondent further says
that the cod subsists Ian Yely on
the sea cherry" Those w,o have
not lad the pleasure of seeing .he
Goldfish climb the sea cherry tree in
search of food or clubbing the fruit
from the heavily laden branches
with chunks of coral, have missed u

y BENEDICT.-It appears that our
young friend, J. c. McFadden, is in
clover-so to speak. Having been
elected to the important office of
Prosecuting Attorney III district
largely against him politically, he
seems imbued, like Alexander, with
IN ambition for other worlds to con-
quor, and he begins by making cap
tive one of the prettiest maidcns of
the capital city. 1t appears from
the evidence that this act was com
mitted sometime Saturday night, our
Leander being aided and allotted by
Rev. j. II. Thompson, while Miss
Lydia Crins, enacted the role Of
