The above paragraph has recently and
rapidly gone the rounds of the papers, in
ending the Baltimore dailies, through
which it reached our people.
We are glad to state that the supposed
benefits 10 result thcrefrom TO our very
liberal and public spirited fellow-citizen,
Henry Shepherd, Esq, were subject of
much congratulation.
And we regret that our freely expressed
qualification Is so short-lived. Not that
the statements Of said article are incorrect,
but that we, like many others, failed to
read aud constrWe them accurately.
We Dow learn that NJ. Shepherd does
hold said bonds, andrepresents the owners
thereof IN the mandamus secured, but that
he has no interest in the million referred
TO. It's the difference between hetd,ng
aud o.cnfng-s difference that, we think
we are safe frou exaggera,ion in saying,
is material one when applied to million.

done so because we are modest, and though
we are glad to receive words of encour-

a monument to the memory Of james
Rumsey, citizen Of Shepherdstown, who
ante-dated Robert Fulton in the use Of
steam in navigation. Mr.. Boteler has
long been champion of Rumsey, and has
written much on this subject, and has
many proofs to support his claims that
steam was first used to pro0el boat on
the Potomac River ut Shepherdstown, and
that .hc inventor was J"mes Rumsey.
We hope the legislature will have this
monument erected on the banks of the
river here, where the first successful trial
was ever made.

Ono Of the most prominent oandi-
dates for the Office Of Mayor Of the City
Of Seattle Tor the ensuing year is VIM.
A. Jennings, who has very creditahly
filled the Office of Councilman from the
Second Ward for the past .xo years.
Mr.. Jennings is live energetic business
man, who goes into VIA. he undertakes
with vim and viii. During his ca
reer in the Council he has served az
chairman Of two Of the most important
copmittses, and has devoted much Of
his valuable time 70 the public II he il
elected, be will doubtless take the same
or more lively interest in the Affairs of
the people than heretofore. But three
men have been spoken Of for the Office.
They are all competent, worthy gentle
men. L. p. Smith, our present Mayor, is
up for re eIection. He is too well known
to need any compliments from rs. The
third candidate is II. g. Struve, an able
lawyer and worthy citizen. Out of the
three q poor selection cannot be made,
and Seattle is assured Of good mayor
during the coming year. The election
comes of on Monday. and may the best
man win.
