peal appears to show budding sense of
the Southsrners' reliance upon northern
brains:
When they retire at night they unbut-
ton Yankee buttons to Yankee made
coats, waistcoats, pantaloons, shirts and
drawers. They take of Yankee boots
with Yankee boot jacks and divest their
feet of Yankee socks. They march to
Yankee bedsteads, turn down Yankee
coverlets and Yankee blankets. pros
trate themselves upon Yankee mattresses
and lay their heads upon Yankee pill
lows. The tedbues are the only things
not made by Yankee hands and import
ed from the land Of Yankees. On ris-
ing in the morning We tread on Yankee
carpets. stumble over Yankee chairs
and sofas, build q fire from Yankee
coal taken from Yankee souttles 10 Yam
kee CRATES, catch the ashes in Yankee
pans and use Yankee pokers. Yankee
shovels aud tones. We repair to Yankee
washstsnds and pour water from Yankee
pitchers into Yankee bowls and wash
with Yankee soap: then use Yankee
towels and tooth brushes. Next We
march to q Yankee bureau and use
Yankee combs. Yankee brushes, Yankee
powder and Yankee cologne in Yankee
bottles. We sis down in Q Yankee
chair to Yankee table, covered with q
Yankee cloth, Yankee knives and forks,
Yankee dishes and feed upon Yankee
foed. We call for Yankee tooth picks,
seize Yankee hats from Yankee racks,
turn the key to Yankee locks, open q
Yankee door. enter q Yankee buggy,
seize the Yankee reins TO q Yankes
harness and repair to our places of bnsi.
ness and spend the day in trading upon
Yankee industry.

SOUTH END VIEW or THE SCHOOL
QUESTION.

EDITOR Posi- INTELLIGENCE In your
issue of the lst instant you state that
the School Directors desire to pur-
chase a bl )ck of land in the southern
end of town, on which to erect a school
house next year." True. A good reason
why. The Central School property was
sold on these express conditions: That
two blocks of land should be purchased
for school purposes with the proceeds of
aaid sale; one in the north and the
other in ths south end of town; and
that school building, such as the pres
ent and future requirements OF that
section demand, should this season be
constructed in the north end, and that
similar school building should, an
other season, be built in the south end
of town. Immediately upon the sale of
the Central School property block was
purchased in the north end of town,
containg eight lots, for which $500 Was
cheerfully paid. And ever since, these
Fabian School Directors have been re-
loctantly peering over the plats of the
south end Of town in quest of block
for school purposes, like the delinquent
tramp who searched for work and
prayed that he would not find it. And
at last, after oil these weeks of hemuin9
and having, We are informed through
the medium of your valuable journal
that they have found q block that
suits them; but it il altogether too far
OF and the price asked for it is too
high" ! do not deny that the price is
high; but if it be, the price paid for the
block north is certainly outrageous.
The block south contains twelve lots,
while 1.-The block north contains but
eight. The former is located not to ex
Deed 100 feet further from the business
center of the town and the postoffice
than the block north. As to location,
the block south Is far more beautifully
situated, being located on a delightful
plateau, averaging one mile in width and
more than five miles in length, all as
level as floor and overlooking the en-
tire city, the bay and Lake Washington,
when stripped Of timber. AS to "civili-
ization some $500 have been ex-
pended during the past two months in
clearing within three blocks of the one
IN question; while some $500 or more
will be expended in similar work dur.
ing the next Two months within the
same distance, and all south Of the
block In question. And none of this
work is included in the work done by
the Water Company below aud north of
the block in question. Further. there
are now in course of construction and to
be built soon, three fine residences, all
within four blocks, and all south If the
block In question, costing from $500 to
$1,000 each. And permit me to add,
Mr.. Editor, that within five years from
today said block Of land will be worth
az much money, il not more, than an
equal amount Of ground the same dis
tance from the business center Of town
