POeSical.

In speaking of tho Columbia river,
a writer in the February number of
the West Shore, says:
At its mouth Cape Hancnck stands,
mighty sentinel Of everlasting rock,
bathed on one side by the virgin Co.
lumbia, and lashed By loud surges of
the Pacific on the other. \ fine bes-
con surmounts the cape, and its vel
come light can be seen fer twenty
miles at sea, while great black guns
frown from among the tirs their ever
ready protection. But stones throw
from the sea-beaten rocks, to the lee
ward of the cape, quietly rests the
military post called Fort Candy, after
General Candy of Modoc celebrity,
smiling in the genial sunshine. How
like life it Isl On one side the poor
storm tossed soul is dashed hither and
thither, constant struggle for exis-
tence, while but span away on the
other is the haven OF safety whero
everything is peace and happiness for
ever. Bakers bay, as the little cove is
called on the east side of the cape, is a
safe and deep harbor, and is often
nsed as an anchoring place by ocean
steamers and ships awaiting favorable
tides. The fortifications at Ft. Candy
are constant source Of interest to
visitors at the Cape who are especially
numerous during the summer season.
1t has been truly said, that while Cape
Hancock is a barrier ag ,inst storms it
is also guide for the waters of the
Columbia, and that if nature had
only erected similar head of land on
the other side of its mouth or the
Oregon side of the river, the dangers
Of the Columbia bar wonld be un-
known, for the bar would have no
existence.

New Tugs.

Mayor Thompson, on his return
from the East last week, brought
specifications for two tug boats of
great power and speed, the plans hav-
ing been drawn with special reference
to the Columbia river bar. The speci-
6cations are from a New Jersey yard
where the only strictly first class
American tugs are built. The boats
are to be Of iron and complete in
every detail Of power and general ex-
cellence. Compared with the tugs
now in service on the bar, they viii
be giants, and either Of them could
tow the whole feet backward. They
will cost little less than SI0O, ,00O.-

School MeaEinY.

At a school meeting held in the
school house of district Ne. /, last
Monday evening, Mrs. 1. E. Parker
was elected school director for term
Of three years-the first instance of a
lady's being elected to that position in
the State-and J. G.. Hustler was
elected clerk for the ensuing year. A
school tax Of four mills was levied for
the current expenses of the ensuing
school year. The subject of building
a new school house was brought up,
the unanimous opinion of those pres
ent being in favor of the project. 1t
was finally decided that a special
meeting be called, at which the SUBJ
ject be given the fullest discussion and
a definite conclusion arrived at.
There was also a meeting in the
other school district, but we were un-
able to get any account of what was
done.

"A novel scheme for catching fish
is put in daily practice at Burlington,
Iowa, by Follett, diver, who, clad in
his suit, descends into the river at the
end of the draw of the railroad
bridge, and with a large hook snags
large catfish that congregate in that
place, where the eddying water destroys
the force of the current. The fish
are very sluggish and easily caught,
and the work of one day resulted in
the catching of nearly 1,50O pounds
Of fish, averaging twenty pounds
each.

"A NATIONAL INCUBUS.

The Senate by vote Of 35 to IL
passed bill to pension General Grant rs
recognition Of his services in the late
war, and thus committed an act of toady-
ism of which the whole American peo.
pie should be heartily ashamed. Gen.
eral Grant rendered efficient services du-
ring the war, and these were the only
great deeds of his life. His course
during the war, and particularly at Ap-
pomattox, was the course of hero and
patriot, but there were several other
Generals who did quite as much to crush
the Confederate government rs Grant
did, and yet no pension has been pro-
vided for them. George Washington
saved the country in its infancy from de-
pendence on England and o hated tyran.
ny, aud by his deeds of valor, Of hero.
ism and of patriotism made himself "first
in war, first, in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen," obtaining
thereby the appellation of ''the father of
his country" and yet there was never
any talk of pensioning Washington. It
is true, there was some difference between
the two. men. 1t is related that at the
end Of hia second term as President,
Washington, preferring the safety and
perpetuity of the institutions of his
country, in the foundation of which he
bore such conspicuous part, refused to
continue in power for fear that a perpet-
ual Presidency might endanger the free
institutions of his country. It is on the
contrary true that General Grant has
been perpetual candidate for third
term Of the Presidency, and all over the
country there was feeling thatth can
didacy meant, if successful, an overthrow
of our free institutions. IT Is, therefore,
not to be wondered that man Of such
tendencies as Grant should seek for an
entirely different course of recognition
aud reward from that bestowed upon
Washington. Washington declined that
which lie feared might injure his coun-
try. while General Grant takes all that
