JUDGE James G. Swan went to Neah
Raw this week on the Dispatch. The
Judge goes there for the purpose OF
studying the habits of the seals, obtain
ing skeletons of seals, whales, etc, and
petting specimens of sea life generally,
for the Smithsonian.
THE city authorities should see to it
that the steps leading up the hill past
Mrs. Myers boarding house, are put in
safe condition Immediately. In some
places they are so rotten that it is not
safe for heavy person to use them.
The thanks of this Office are tende red
to the steam whistle over Weymouth &
Mofat's blacksmith shop. Our back
action, breach loading gold chronome-
ter-valued at $500 is unfortunately in
pawn, and we might have been late to
dinner several times lately, where it not
for the whistle.

AFTER abOuta month OF as fine weather
as was ever experienced at this time OF
the year in this, or any other country,
achange has at length arrived. During
the past two days rain has fallen, and
last night the 'weather clerk" tried to
get up snow storm, but apparently his
showing apparatus failed hin, for the
storm was soon nipped in the bud. Run
in the rain on us all you want to Mr.
Clerk, but no snow thank you. This is
not the Eastern States.
THE Kentucky Jubilee Singers will
play tonight in Good Templar Hall.
This troupe is composed OF about as
happy looking crowd Of ''nigs' as We
have ever had the fortune to behold.
Judging from comments on their per-
formonces that we notice in Victoria,
and other papers, they will make every
one that goes to hear them. as
happy looking as they are, before the
show is out. Everybody that can are
advised to attend, and tane their sisters,
and their cousins and their aunts with
them.
The posts of a railing recently put up
in the Office of the Sycamore Powder
company, on Market street, Nashville,
are carved out of white oak timber cut
about 45 years ago, at Sycamore Mills,
in Cheatham county, Tenn. The timber
out Of which these posts were made was
used by the late Judge Samuel Watson
in the construction Of mill-race, and
immersed in the water over AZ years.
when they were taken out, and after be-
ing seasoned, Major Eugene Lewis,
Manager of the Powder Company, had
them fashioned into their present shape.
The wood is as sound as it was the day
it was cut, and has become as hard as
iron, and turned very dark, almost black
color. Exchange.
We consider it wrong that persons
owning property should be allowed to
build stables Immediately adjoining
streets; still, this is done in several
places in this town, and after a heavy
rain it is next to impossible for people
to pass these places. Theowners of such
property should build sidewalks there
for the convenience OF passers. The ex-
pense of such sidewalks would not be
much, aud would more than pay for
themselves in the long run by improving
appearance Of property-for, assuredly
Il GOOD sidewalk will look better any dGy,
