The WHATooM TowSsITE.-An inter
esting case will probably soon be before
the court in this county, involving the
title of the Il. V. Peabody homestead

whom he lived a number of years, and
during their residence together at What
com on the homestead property son
was born TO them who was named Frank
Peabody, and who lived with his father
at Whateom until the latter went out
upon the British Columbia boundary

family near Tumwater, paying for his
support and education, and visiting him
whenever he was able to loave his duties
upon the boundary survey. When the
boy was about twelve years of age II. V.
Peabody died, and thereafter the uncle
of the boy, John l.. Peabody, took
charge OF his brothers property, and he
and the other collateral heirs have since
taken all the property, leaving the boy
entirely unprovided for and destitute,
aud he after living for some time with
the family of Capt. Roeder ut Whatcom
finally drifted to Vancouver, where he
now resides. Meanwhile the collateral
heirs of Il. V. Peabody made deed of
an undivided one-half of this homestead
claim to Capt. VIM. Utter, of Whatcom,
at the nominal consideration of one
dollar. Capt. Utter was the administra-
tor Of the estate of Il. V. Peabody, and
has ever since resided upon the land.

land owner of Colorado. was visited nv
Mr.. Milne of Milne l. Bush. cattle deal
ers, who expressed desire to purchase
several hundred acres of land Lowtbian
had for sale in Lincoln county. Neb. To
farther the sale Roberts went to Denver
10 get power Of attorney from
Lowthian to sell the land men
toned, but the latter refused
bis request and declined to sell. Un-
dismayed, Roberts returned to Milne
and presented note purporting TO be
the authority from Lowthian, giving
him free power to act in the matter
Thinking all was as it should be, the
sale was closed, Milne paving down
$3.50 and giving check for S6,520-the
balance due on the purchase-and made

During the first part of last April. .weu-
ty-four days after the note for $1,000

covered the fraud through telegram
sent TO it from Lowthian. Detectives
were then set to work to sift tine mat
ter. Roberts was traced to this city by
Captain Aull and, getting evidence that
this man had gone north, the officer
went to Seattle, arriving there on the
7th of last month. Three days after he
found Roberts, who was thon engaged
In business under the name of l.. G.
Montgomery, and all the money taken
by him. except 1880, was fouud depos-
tied in the bank IN the name OF Mont

tanned, he started for ana arrived in
Seattle, and after identifying Roberts,
arrested him on the 9th of May, and

Improving the FIafs.

The work upon the Kidwell meadows,
below the Long Bridge, begins now to take
form and shape. The two pile-drivers en-
ployed in planting piles at the eastern edge
of the proposed improvement, one working
from the south end of the marshes, and the
other from the north end, toward the mid
die, will meet this week. This meeting
will complete on the east the pile-work,
which is at the same time the support Of
the railway over which the cars pass from
the dredges and throw out along its line
the earth dredged from the river bottom,
and also the brace and support of the earth
which is thus thrown out on the "hats'
side Of the railway. When the railway,
with its supporting piles, has encircled the
flats and thrown out alongside the dredged
earth, there will be dixie surrounding the
bottoms, and the plan by which the
meadows are to be reclaimed will be visible
to every eye. Already at low tide, a long
dixie is visible beside the railroad for sew
eral hundred yards opposite the Arsenal
grounds. There will be no pause in the
work.

The Washington Star makes singular pie,
In extenuation OF the scandals OF tho Star
Route pros ecution. 1t is complained that
through the imbocility of the Government AM
me stupidity of fussy, snappish judge, tht
trials have been needlessly prolonged aud tho
Government counsel have been enabled to turr
the case Into source of largo profit. The
SfQftnsists that the expenses, "outside of tht
ordinary court expenses" VIII scarcely go be
yond hundred thousand dollars or so, which
itseems TO think small amount for George
Z Bliss and one or two others to pocket.
Besides, Gays the Star, why should people
complain of this when "the amount OF the
stealings VIII reach four million dolIars?"
80 that because company OF thieves rob
The Government flour million dollars a com.
pany of sharp lawyers and stupid Judges may
surely be allowed TO bleed the Government to
the tune of two orr three hundred thousand
dollars.
The Sd7 has yet another plea. Do not the
counsel for the defonse get large fees? Do not
these fees come out of the money stolen from
the Government? Why, then, should not the
counsel for the prosecution get large fees also? !?

The Religious Conventions.

In the Presbyterian General Assembly at

and gave notice of his withdrawal from the
ministry of the Presbyterian Church. The

Crosby, discharged from further consdera-
tion of the case.
In the Southern Assembly at Lexington
yesterday the committee on resolutions and
fraternal correspondence with the Northern
Assembly reported that that should be car
ried on by delegates in 1884 and 1885, and
afterward by letter. DIR. Smoot received a
letter from DR.. Brown, u delegate to the
Northern Assembly, stating that Dir. Crosby
had offered resolution in the Northern
Assembly sweeping away all tho imputa-
tions against the Southern Church. which
was referred to Rev. Drs. Herrick and
johnson, Breckenridge and Crosby, and
that majority of the committee reported
against the resolution. The letter caused
some excitement in this body, and will
probably be barrier to more expressions
of fraternity.

Scatter Seeds OF Kinduess.

Tnere was never q golden sunbeam
That fell on a desolate place,
But left some trace OF Its presence
That time could never efface.
Not song OF ineffable sweetness
That ravished the listening ear
Tnen slumbered In silence forgotten
For many and many year
But word or tone might awaken
Its magical power anew,
Long after the sweet-vuiced singer
Had faded from earthly view,
Nor heart that was ever so weary,
Or tainted with sin and despair
But word OF tender compassion
Might nnd an abiding-place there.
Yet countless thousands are yearning
For sympathy, kindness and love,
And souls are cropping In darkness
without one CLEAN from above.
There was never sunbeam wasted,
Nor song that was sung IN vain.
And souls that seem lost IN the shadows
Asayiour's love may reclaim.
Then scatter the sunbeams OF Kindness,
though your deeds may never be known,
The harvest Will ripen In glory
III the seed be faithfully Bown;
And life VIII close with blessing,
And fade into endless day;
Liko the golden hues OF the sunbeam
That fade In the twilight gray.
