Brussels foundered almost immediately.
,Ieight sof hr crew and two passt niger
were drowned. A dense fog prevailed
in the vicinity of the northwest light
ship. At about 6 o'clock ON Saturday
morning the fog WIS so dense the
captain decided not to make the attempt
to heave way, but to remain under steam
near the light ship. A careful lookout
was kept, the captain and second and
fourth officers being on the bridge, and
the pilot also looking out Bells were
kept ringing and fog-horns frequently
sounded. For some time the steam
er lay in safety Extra lookout men
were posted in every part of the vessel.
These measures had a reassuring effect
upon passengers. Suddenly the low
gurgliug sound Of a vessel approaching
was heard, and large steamer few
yards distant moving quickly through
the water loome | up out OF the fog. Be
fore any measures could be taken to
avoid it a tremendous collision seemed
to be inevitable and Immediately the
bow of the Kirby Hall struck the star
board bow Of the Brussels with terrible
force, cutting her down to the water S
edge, and most half through. The Kirby
Hall was on her maiden voyage She
left Glasgow only few hours before,
and was calling at Liverpool to COM
plete loading, and embark passengers
for the east. The moment collision
was seen to be inevitable, everything
possible was done on board the City of
Brussels to protec the lives OF passen-
gers and Of the crew.

A CARD.
SCHOOL DISTRICT, No. l, PORT TOWNSEND.

SCHOOL DlSIRlCI, NO, L, fohl loN NNoENb'
At regular meeting OF the School
Directors of this district held previous to
the commencement OF the last term, 1t
was decided to advertise for competent
teachers for the intermediate and pri-
mary departments for the term next en-
suing Iii response to the advertisement
twenty-nine letters were received, not less
than twenty Of them being direct appli-
cations. Among them were many ac-
companied by such testimonials as first
grade certificates and years Of experience
in teaching. These were all passed over
in favor of two which were laid upon the
table by DR.. Minor. One OF these was
accompanied by evidence showing pro-
ficiency and some years experience, and
the lady, being resident here, was ap-
pointed to teach the intermediate school.
The other application was from young
lady having no experience in teaching,
no certificate or recommendation, not
even permit to teach. She was, how
ever, appointed to teach in the primary
department.
At the close OF the last term, owing to
complaints from some of the parents Of
pupils in the primary department. and
the engagement OF the teacher having ex-
pired, the Directors having first adjourn
ed their regular meeting for one week to
make proper inquiries( Kuhn dissenting)
finally concluded to advertise for another
teacher for the primary department.
which was done. Subsequent to this,
and going back upon the record, unus.
ual and unworthy efforts have been made
to furnish employment for this young
lady Miss Wood as teacher in this
district, totally regardless OF the merits
Of other applicants, one of whom held
first-class certificate from two different
counties, with strong recommendations
and four years experience, one Of which
would have divided the present school
and saddled the district with the ex-
pense OF fourth teacher. Holding back
applications which should have been
handed to the clerk, etc, these efforts,
being urged with great persisteney, have
resulted in the re-engagement of this
young lady Ito whom intend no disre-
spect) against the wishes and remon-
STRANGE of many of those having children
in the school.
have ever thought it the duty of a
School Director to engage the best
teachers obtainable-e especially for the
young-those of experience and capg bill
ty, and cannot consider it a part of
their duty to the children or their
parents to engage those Gas has often
been done here) who, lacking all proper
qualifications and experience, are thrust
into the position by obsequious friends
for selfish motives.
Under these circumstance, finding my
self powerless to influence the selection
OF teachers OF experience For the children
of the district, and disclaiming to fur
ther act as a mere tool or shuttlecock for
the Juggling professionals who act as my
fellow directors, am constrained to
herewith resign to the people Of the dis
trict-with thanks-the office to which
they kindly elected me.

MY SUMMER GIRL

Ny winter girl is clad in furs.
Wears skates like Turkish scimetera.
And many o witchin9 vile is hers
When tinkle sleigh bells.
But she is not the girl take
TO picnic grove or luscious 'bake"-
To watch old Coney,s breakers break,
And dine at Cables.
NV summer girl Is muslin. decked,
Low-sleeved and often open-necked,
And I've no reason to suspect
She paints or powders
For her complexion was the same
What time from Neptune's arms We came
And sweetly fed our mutual flame
On two clam chowders.
My summer girl, she sporteth. too,
A sunshade-buff, and lined with blue
IT'S useful to obscure the view
When our two faces
Come into closer neiRhborhood
Than separate faces always ehould-
A thing at times misunderstood
In public places
My summer girl can eat Ice cream
1 wish you saw herl it doth seem
To vanish like feetfng dream
When she commences.
Vanilla. strawberry, or pistache-
Or all at once-an ice cream hash
charge such items up to cash
In my expenses.
Ny summer girl is very fond
OF water-lilies from the pond
In fact, I'd need fairy's wand
70 meet her wishes.
She likes cut roses, moonlight sails,
Eingerless mittens, long white veils-
That's the one point on which she fails
She's too capricious.
Also she's rather glib Of speech,
And talks away beyond my reach;
IT'S all In vain try to teach
Her to be dumber.
III have to give her up, fear;
But autumn, after all, is near,
And frst-class girls are scarce and dear
She'll last this summer.

Moro lasting than tho sepulchres Of kings:
Although my song-birds fold their failing WINGS,
And my star tumbles from the fi:mameats
Although I may not cheat the discomfort

Closes his hand about his throat and clings
Close and clings hard until his life ia spent.
