er breakfast we started on foot for the
next town, twenty miles up the Nook
sack River. l knew walking in snow
was hard work, but had never fully re-
alizpd it until then. We carried blank
cts, guns and camp equipages with us,
| which made it much worse. A little
before dark we came to the river. The
village is on the opposite side; SO we
gave II boy four-bits piece to paddle
us over in a small Indian canoe. The
stream is so swift that when we got i'm
the current-our bark seemed to be
very frail-I would freely have given
another four-bits to have been on shore
again. But we landed safely and stop
ped for the night. Next morning We
renewed our tramp in the rain. After
walking five miles We stopped at
place where We expected to get guide.
The weather being so unfavorable, we
remained with him until Sunday
morning, which was bright and clear.
So we struck out again, and by walk
ing logs, wading sloughs innumerable,
We managed to get to the place we had
started for, which is within mile of
the British Columbia line. We want
ed to go over, but owing to the high
water, could not. Most of the corduroy
road We saw was floating in the
s.oughs. and our experience as BOOM
men being limited, We didn't try to
cross on it. There is some pretty coun-
try on the river, and the finest growth
of cedar and fir timber in the Territory,
l was surprised to see, in the small
streams or brooks We crossed. salmon
eighteen inches or two feet long, where
there was scarcely sufficient water tn
cover them. After ten days round, we
anchored at Seattle again, with fine
story of expert. nee to tell the boys; but
we don't want any more of it until
spring when the rains are over.
Snlliran, Slade, aud several other
noted pugilists, were in this place late
ly. They gave good exhibition. One
of our toughs had the cheek to face
Sullivan. but he only lasted seven sec
onds, and was seen shortly after going
to the doctor to be repaired.

We areglad to see the great improve

ticles and locals from the different parts
of the county are good and very inter-
esting, and we trust they will be con-
tinued and heightened. But, for fear

THE SKY BLUE GHOST.

Mr.. H. NJ Doak, who edited the
Nashville Banner during the last cam
paign was one of the acknowledged
leaders of the %Sky Blue" movement
in Tennessee. He is now editor of
the Cincinnati News Journal, and that
paper is almost, if not equally, as ultra
on the tariff question as the Courier
Journal. II it don't favor absolute free
trade, it grazes the mark so closely that
there is no practical difference so far
as any kind of protection is concerned.
Col. A. S. Colyar supported Bate for
Governor in the last campaign and he
has written some of the most able ed
itorials we have seen in defense of the
State in regard to the course she pur-
sued in the settlement of the debt. 1t
is unnecessary to state that Col Colyar
is now a champion of the protection
: idea. There is, of course, not the re-
motest connection between a National
question like the tariff and a local is
sue in regard to the settlement of the
Tennessee State debt. But some pa
pers that came into existence ON the
Bate boom insist on continuing the
sght against RUSSELL and, as there is no
longer any issue on the debt question,
they denounce him and his followers
as 4protectionists." Such talk is an
evidence of its own folly and an at
tempt to refute it would be necessarily
ridiculous.
1t is strange that the sky blue ghost
should give so much trouble to those
doughty champions who found no
trouble in %squelching" it when alive.
We spoke of this movement above as
a local issue in Tennessee, but it would
probably be more proper to confne it
To Montgomery county and one or two
other localities. The editor of the
CHRONICLE can truly assert that he
has heard more talk of Russell and his
political concomitants since he came
to GAINESVILLE than he heard of that
gentleman in West Tennessee while he
was a real live candidate for Governor.
The Beasly Greenbackers are general
ly alluded to, Gf spoken of at all,) as
too weak to receive any consideration,
but that party developed much more
strength than the sky blues. Why is
it we don't hear the Beaslyites de-
nounced? Is ghost in green less
terrible than one in blue?

THE ANCHOR AND THE ScIMITAR.

Our very esteemed contemporary,
the Union City Anchor, should not be
offended at us because we discovered
that it has a decided "mash" on the
Memphis Scimitar. Certainly the
Anchor has a right to bestOw its affec-
tions where it pleases, and the con-
stancy of such an attachment is always
its chiefest beauty.
'Love swelIs like the Solway,
But GIBBS nkelits tide,''
says the poet, and the Anchors affec-
ton for the Scimitar illustrates the
truth of the rhyme. By all means let
the good work go on. We don't wish
to interfere with the love making. But
we still have that chrome in our pos
session and feel in duty bound to give
1T to the person who produces the pa
per for which it was offered as a prize.
The Scimitar has not heretofore
been among our exchanges, but we
were glad to receive a copy of the
weekly edition this week. 1t is bright
and breezy and filled with pointed and
piquant paragraphs. 1t invites us to
quote literally from its columns in
order that we may abe able to boast of
a higher standard of journalism than
in the past" We shall always be glad
to make extracts from the Scimitar
when we see anything in the paper
that suits us, but we hope the prom
ised improvement will not lead us
into anything so miserably conceited
as the above remark.

OUR farmer subscribers, and all
persons interested in fine stock, will
find a most readable and instructive
article in the CHRONICLE this week
from the able pen of Mr.. William
Warfield, of Lexington, Ky. We re-
produce it from the Breeders Gazette,
of Chicago, to which journal it was
contributed. The main idea running
through the article is one that all far
rmers will do we'll to note, viz: The
only way in which true excellence can
be determined is by comparison. No
man can assert that his COW, his hog,
or anything is really superior until it
has stood the test of actual comparison
with others of the same kind. To
carry out this principle is the object
of the February Seed Show, to be
held at the Court House in this city
and we hope that the farmers will all
avail themselves of the opportunity it
offers to make full and tair exhibit
of everything in the seed line.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

| tErOm Our Regular correspondents
The forlorn hope of the republic
can party is new crusade against
the South, through an investigation
of the so called Southern outrages,
at Danville, Va, and Copiah, Miss.
Senator Shermans latest display of
partisan venom was in a bloody
shirt resolution for this purpose, land
it proves that republican leaders
are reduced to pitiable poverty in
resources. Still the party feels the
necessity of doing something. 1t
dare not go before the country on
the high tariff issue. 1t cannot
nationaIize the temperance question
because opinions differ widely in the
matter, on that side of politics. 1t
cannot make the educational ques-
ton an issue, because it admits of
no partisan decisions. 1t cannot
utilize the Mormon problem, be-
cause republicans are most undeci'
ded in regard to a solution. Nor
can it avail itself of the surplus
revenue question, nor of the uni
versal demand for a forfeiture of
unearned land grants, for this
ground is preoccupied by the DEM
ocratic House of Representatives.
In the Senate Monday was field
day, given to general debate on
the Sherman resolution. The au-
thor of this campaign document
made the first speech in which he
confined himself to the Mississippi
phase Of the matter,-Senator La
mar replied in one OF his strongest
efforts. Readjuster Malone made
the principal speech for the Re-
publicans, reiterating the. ISLANDERS
upon his state contained in his
address 10 the Readjuster party"
Senator Vest, well equipped with
facts answered the assault, cham
pioning Virginia with fine effect.
Several Democratic Speakers made
illusions to occurrences in the
North which call for investigations,
referring incidentally to the Teks-
bury horrors, which brought Sena-
tor Hoar to his feet In defense of
Massachusetts,. Senators Bayard,
Butler. Vance, and George each
made few remarks pertinent to
the resolution.
The Mcpherson Banking bill is
likely to be taken up ia the Senate
during the week and if the debate {
is prolonged will displace the Land
grant bill.

WE publish elsewhere an editorial
from the Jackson Tribune and Sun
headed stop Your Quarreling," which
gives some good advice to waring
Democratic editors. We iully endorse
it and think it very excellent article
in so far as it urges Democratic unity
and deprecates the ordinations and
recriminations which some Democrat
ic papers are constantly hurting at one
another But we think the T. and s.
steps over the line itself when it ac-
cuses Col. Colyar of being influenced
by personal interest. That is as bad
as anything the Courier-Journal has
said of the American. In fact, the
public has nothing to do with what
influences Col. Uolyar's views, but
should only study the soundness and
correctness of those views.

SOUTHERN cor1oR fAc1oalEs.


louisville Commercial @The cot
ton mill people of the South don't
seem to spend much time bowling
about free trade. They have appa-
rently prospered under a protective
tariff"
Why should they not prosper when
a tax is leyied for their benefit on ev-
cry consumer of cotton goods? Why
should they @howl for free trade" when
the tariff allows them to make 100 per
cent on their goods p C6uingt0al Cal.
If that is true. why don't you start a
cotton factory in Covington? Upton
county raises an abundance of the
feecy staple OF the best quality. Two
competing trunk lines of railroad run
through your county and the Mississip
pi river borders you on the west
Covington would be boss" place for
a cotton factory and such an institu-
ton there successfully operated, would
add greatly to the interest OF both the
town and the county: 1t would in

cinity and the farmers for miles
around would feel its beneficial infiu-
ence. Don't you think that it would
be more ,conmendable in you to en-
deavor to build up industries in your
own section thsln to try to tear down
those that are doing so much for the
South elsewhere.
But it is net true that cotton facto-
ries in the South pay 100 per cent. on
the investment We are glad to note
the fact, and all true Southerners are,
that such enterprises have generally
succeeded in this section, but numbers
of them have failed. The cotton fac
tory at Brownsville, in so miles of
Covington, may be cited as an exam
pie OF one that didn't pay 100 per cent.

Mr.. StaHord'S Hamlet.

In last weeks CHRONICLE, ad-
vanced the idea that it is an advan-
tage to community to see Shakes
Deare'S plays sometimes acted, even
with the slender accessories attaina-
BILE by small travelling companies,
maintaining that Shakespeare him.
self is capable of realizing the inter-
est of his wonderful dramas through
all disadvantages of representation,
sufficiently at least to interest young
spectators in his works and to in
duce them to study the British dra-
ma as a fascinating and ennobling
department of English literature.
From this point Ofview consider
the performance of last Monday
night eminently successful know
that it set many young people read
ing Hamlet even before the per-
Torrance, and about their interest
in the drama as acted there could
be no mistake. 1t was my good
fortune to be seated between two
young people each about fifteen
years old, that transition period be-
tween childhood and maturity,
when the mind is most open to new
impressions, and my interest in the
piece consisted in observing its eff
feet upon the minds of my young
neIghbors. The contrast of sex was
very interesting the girl cried bit
terly at the sorrows and distraction
of poor Ophelia and after her death
could not be much interested in
Hamlet, who, as she contended, had
not done right towards Ophelia
with TIE boy it was different, he
actually shouted when the guilt of
the king was brought home to him
by the acting of the play, and, while
he too was touched with Ophelia's
sorrows, the love story with him, as
with his sex, was but an episode,
and he wanted the action of the
piece to hurry on till Hamlet should
Kill the wicked old king. 1 think
both those youngsters will be read
ers of Shakespeare and of much be-
sides to which Shakespeare leads.
OF Mr.. Staffords rendering of the
character, it is only justice to speak
of him as learner to whom Judi
cious counsel will be of better SER
vice than indiscriminate praise. In
the most tragic features of the char
acter he was most successful but
Hamlet is not all tragedy; the au-
thor seems to have exhausted on
this character elements of histrionic
art of every grade, and the actor
who shall persOnate it successfully
must be capable of the wild Vivacity
of MercutiO as well as the tender
fondness of Romeo and the tempest
uous passion of Othello. This YER
satility Mr.. Stafford has not yet |
acquired and we believe that his
best way of attaining the requisite
of expression would be
occasionally to play the high come
dy parts, such as Mercutio, Petru-
chic and Benedick. He has talent
enough II it IS well directed.
OF the rest of the company we
will only speak of Miss Evelyn Fos-
ter as highly acceptable Ophelia
and of Mr.. VIM. III. Bokee as show
ing considerable versatility of comic
talent by doubling the parts of Po-
onius and the grave-digger.
OF the other parts it will De most
humane to close our notice in the
words with which Hamlet closes
MS life, ''The rest rs silence"
