who has prepared for it. She invarla-

Words Of Wisdom.
The offender never pardons,

|
The offender never pardons,
A room hung with pictures is Il
roo1s hung with thoughts,
Nothing helps the thoughts 80
much as order and classification,
No pleasure is comparable to stand
ing on the vantage ground of truth,
The strength Of criticism lies only
in the weakness Of the thing criti-
cised,
He that has light within his own
clear breast may sit in the center and
enjoy bright day,
Fortune does not materially change
men it only unmasks them and
shows their true character,
Debt is a horse that is always
throwing it's rider, Fools ride him
bareback and without bride.
There is nothing that so refnes
the face and mind as the constant
presence of good thoughts,
The heart Of beautiful woman,
like that of beautiful flower, may
be the abode of reptile,
1t is easy to pick out flaws in other
peoples work, but far more profitable
to do better work yourself.
We are 80 made 50 designed in our
every fiber, that evil tortures us like
Il diseased nerve and it always will
until we get rid of it,
The arms of wit ought always to
be feathered with smiles, When they
fail in that, they become sarcasm,and
like two-edged swords.
Who ever heard Of slandering a
bad man? Who ever heard of coun-
terieiting bad note? Slander, as a

Review of the Year.
For the ARGUS.

For the ARGUS.
There are many things Of importance
which have occurred during the past
year. Let us look at some of them
First, we'notice with gratitude the eX
ecution of Guiteau. For a long time the
papers were so full about him that we
were tired of him, but as the year closes,
and ere the subject is consigned to ever
lasting oblivion it is well to take part
ing look at it. He was executed. Muir
der after murder has been committed for
years, and in some way the murderer
breaks the law, and is not convicted, or
breaks Jail and escapes, or breaks his
sentence and goes free, and SO our lives
have come to be somewhat uncertain.
But one man has been executed so pub
licly that all have seen it. 1t is well.
Again, it was done by process Of law.
Sometimes murders are so frequent and
law so weak that vigilance committees
are necessary to protect our lives. But
when it can be done by law it is far
better. Mr.. Guiteau would probably
not have lived long if he had not been
convicted, for attempts were made on his
life during his imprisonment But it
was far better that his execution should
take place as it did, SO that justice
should be done, and at the same time
the majesty of the law and the majesty
of the American nation should I've up
held 1t is we'll Still further, it was
done understanding tie plea Of insani-
ty. This plea bas been made 80 many
times in cases Of murder, and 50 success
fully that it has had very bad intlu-
ence on our legal affairs, but III this case
while the plea was made very strongly
both by words and actions, yet he was
convicted. 1t is well. May we not hope
that it will have a good effect, and be
precedent that will be followed in other
cases where the same plea shall be made.
Th temperance question has received
much attention during the past year 1t
has, in a measure, triumphed in Iowa,
and holds its way in Kansas. 1t has
been defeated in Ohio and some other
places. We are thankful for the first,
and not discouraged by the last. Most
good causes have gone through dark
days before they have conquered, but the
triumph comes at last
When Wilberforce began to work in
Great Britain for the abolition of slav-
cry, he was at first so weak that he did
not attract much attention. But agitat-
ing the subject strengthened it until
twenty-five years after it conquered.
When the subject had for time been
agitated in the United States it grew TO
be strong enough to form small party
by itself, and hold the balance Of power
in some places Then a political party
touched it and was sometimes so thor
oughly defeated as to drop it. But it
was Gods cause and would not stay de-
ieated, and at last triumphed after wad-
ing through seas Of blood. So temper
Nuce has partly done. 1t has become 30
strong as to have a small party by itself
in many States, and is beginning to hold
the balance OF power-a political party
has touched it and been defeated. 1t
may not wish to touch it again. but the
cause is right, and right will prevail.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again"
Various temperance societies have exist
ed, Hourished and died, or almost died,

"Plucking Sailors

The pompous toady who serves as
afgure-head for the N. p r. r. Cos
newspaper at New Tacoma, Mr.. r, f.
Radebaugh, refers to the ARGUS in q
most patronizing way in a recent
article headed with a malicious in
sinuation embodied in the words;
"Plucking Sailors" His affectation
of superiority in diction is so utter
ly supercilious that it awakens pity
rather than contempt. Instance,
he takes us to task for using the word
contemporary" instead of "contem
porary." If he can condescend to
accept Webster's unabridged diction-
ary as authority he will find both
words given, each with the definition:
"one who lives at the same time"
We haven't set up standard of our
own above Webster yet-but then we
cannot boast the cheek that some
folks display. Our contemporary
may yet find that the learning of this
Territory is not altogether monopo-
lized by California importations.
The fact that a few vessels have
brought railroad iron from the At
lantic to New Tacoma during the
past year has sent our conceited critic
clear away to the region of imbecili
ty. In the delirium Of his joy he i'm
az n $ that New Tacoma is soon
to have the Custom House, Shipping
Commissioner, etc, etc. His delu-
sion is quite harmless, however. He
further proceeds to demostrate that
Portland runners can secure sailors
easier at Port Townsend than at
Tacoma, by saying that there are no
ships at Port Townsend" i. g, that
sailors cannot find employment in
this place and will hunt for business.
1t is said that liars need good mem
ories; likewise, we may add that a
good memory would sometimes prove
handy to demagogue who is hunt
ing for something to bolster M his
fiimsy sophistry. Instance, Mr.. Rade
baugh said last week that ships had
frequently come to Port Townsend
lately to get crews, aud had experienc-
ed difficulty in securing them; this
week he says sailors can get nothing
