Mors than thirty years ego were the
plans hrst laid 10 establish In COR bor-

On July 18th. 1854. Congress donated
TO ths TesTitory tract Of i1nd sUbrae-
ing IN extent 800 sowuships, 20 be fpcat-
ed under dife6kido ~ COR Legislature:
these lpfs 20 be used ia founding the
University Of WashiuRxon. On Jannsry

located tie University &c Seattle, with o
branch IN Lsuis county; and farther
provided that the land should be equal
IL divided between them. But here
ASTON stopped until January 3nth. 1858,
when provision Was made for the eon-
sosidation Of the tvo institutions; and
also for is relocation on Couiifz prairie;
bat orr proposed University is not al
iowed to rest, not even long enough for
the laying of the corner gfoues-for in
December. 1560, It's location was chang
ed 20 beautiful site Of ten acrss CEN
trelly loczfed In the city Of Seattle.
With due and appropriate ceremonies,
on the Ush Of Nay, 1s61. the corner
q onss we're laid, and the fall Of 1862 thu
buildings we're completed, and Terri
toriai school opened under the manage
ment Of Professor A. 8. Mercer. At
that period Of its history the future Of
the University Vas anything but prom
ising. Funds were exhausted and
owing 10 the limited population of our
vas not extensive. The Qneen City had
mot yet attained population of three
hundred. and all around the present
site Of the University was dense sor-
Get OF towering pines. 6uch were the
financial emharfasHments Of the instr

that upon three different occasions it
ceased 20 exist, save IN name. At the
close Of tails period, Professor A. j. An

Of Gye years.. Under his management
the University was elevated 10 higher

"1f you'll only forgive me" he sobbed.
"aEd trust me as you used to, I'll never

misery, but he put his arm about him

That was ten years ago. The old en-
gineer has gone where faithful service
is rewarded. Rob has become q young
man, but not an engineer; he has never
stepped aboard an engine since that
painful experience on the Hercules.

Birds Bills.

The birds do not have hands, but they
have something that answers lust as
well. Their bills are as useful TO them
as your hands are to you. They are not
all made alike or used in the same way.
The duck has a very queer bill. 1t Is
made SO because this bird has to find
its food under water. 1t can not see
what it gets, and must feel, instead. So
this bill is filed with nerves for the pur-
pose. 1t has a row of little points, too,
al around the edge, something like
teeth. But how does the duck use It?
Let us sec.
When searching for food it thrusts
this bill down and brings it up full OF
mud. Now in the mud are the very
things the bird lives upon. These little
nerves tell 1t just what is good to eat.
What is not good is sent out through
these queer points, Just rs II IL was q
sitter. The nerves in this funny sieve
take very good care that nothing shall
be lost that is worth the eating.
You know sll about the little birds
that build nests with their bills, and
what wonderful things they are. Some
can sew very well with their beakss~of
course they use their feet, tool Oar
Little Ones.

KEEP ON TRYING

If boys should get discouraged
At lessons or at work.
And say: There's no use trying"
And all hard tasks should shirk,
r And keep on Sinking, Sinking,
Till the boy became q man,
wonder what the world would do
To carry out its plan?
The coward In the conflict
Gives up Mt flrst defeat:
II once repulsed. his courage
Lies shattered at his feet.
The brave heart wins fhe battle
Because. through thick and thin,
He'll not give up MS conquered,
He fights. and fights to win.
So, boys, don't get disheartened
Because 1T first you fail.
Ii you but keep on trying,
At last you will prevail.
Be stubborn against failure.
Try! Try; and try again.
The boys who We kept on trying
Have made the worlds best men.

Legan's Buncombe.

The smallest appropriation that ever
received the attention of Congress was
that of fifteen dollars for which the bill
was called up in the Senate by Senator
Logan. The object was to refund that
amount to party who had paid il to
the Government under a misapprehen-
sion in patent case.
Upon its being intimatcd by some of
the Senators that the bill was too tri-
fling for the consideration of the Senate
which has preference for larger
game, something that has millions in
it, the reply of Logan showed that al
though the appropriation lie asked for
was small there was nothing small
about Logan. He sad that people who
were poor were just as much entitled to
their just dues as those who were rich.
1t is not certain that this idea is origin
al with the Illinois Senator. Something
of that kind may have been thought OF
before, but it struck the Senate as q
novelty. for it has been q long time
since the majority of that body thought
it worth while to attend to interests
lower down in the pecuniary scale than
those OF millionaires and great cor
porations. The intrusion of such doc
trine must have been = surprise to the
more than score of millionaires in the
Senate to whom the suggestion that
there was anything due to poor mon
was certainly a new tangled sort of rev.
citation.
But it took the Senator from Illinois
to bring them up to proper sense Of
their duty to the poor man. Senator
Logan is not much on grammar. and
there are people who have the advant-
age of him in the correct use of the diff
ferent parts of speech. but when it
comes to devotion to the poor mans in
lerests he won't allow any body to dust
him on the road. As Presidential
election in which he is going to be .
candidate is approaching, be IS particu-
ar in having it understood that be is

Sharon trial promises to come to an end in
about two weeks, but numerous difficulties
have sprung from it likely to keep the courts
busy many months. Papers are being pre-,
pared by Thomas Bell for criminal action
against The Argus and James A johnson
and Walter TuTnbull, publishers of The Alta,
also a damage suit for $50, 900 against each OF
the latter, The offenses charged is the publ
cation of an atrocious and highly improbable
story last Thursday in relation To Bells wife,
the substance of which briefly follows:
Thomas Bell is a capitalist, one of the di-
rectors Of the California bank, and about Il
years old. He married about twelve year
ago q woman scarcely half his own age
Thomas Bell desired progeny, and agreed Il
set aside sum, conceded to be $50 900, foI
each neir born, and soon merry, childish
laughter rang through the Bell household
until after st arcely twelve years of married
life seven Ene children bear the name of Bell
Bell and Sharon were friends, and the latter,
vol versed Ill the ways of the world,
finally Nentured to whisper to the friend that
the heirs were not bona tide. Bell discarded
the suggestion and a GOODNESS sprang up
bGiNttti tiltill Ing alta dltS5Go ilidh HOUSE,
keeper NANNY Plaisance in Bells house
came to the aid of Mrs Bell with the
founding hospital as her hacker :iharon's
expressed doubts made Mrs. Bell and NANNY
Plaisance his sworn enemies, ana the latter
figured considerably as friend in Sarah
Althea's suit against Sharon. The paper
goes on telling of the arrival in the Bell
househould Of twins, u boy and girl, last
year, to one OF which the paper says an
other WOMAN lays claim. In an interview
with the colored nurse she is alleged to
have said that no two of the seven young
sters resemble each other, and that they have
red, black, brown and blonde hair, all kinds
of eyes, some resembling the Irish, some the
Germans, and some long Frenchy. There
is d law requiring ali physicians to Tile
records of births, AMI The Alta says scar,
of the record fails to disclose a single entry
of n birth in the Bell family. 1ha whole
story is the worst ever published in this

If the present rage for magnetic girls
continues and they are exported as fast
as discovered, says the Philadelphia
Times, it appears inevitable that the state
of Georgia win at an early day be entirely
destitute of cooks, chambermaids, laun-
dresses and womans rights orators. No
sooner did Miss Lulu Hurst make sue
cess in New York than she was joined by
Miss Price, whose muscles and thumb
ball are quite as magnetic as those of her
predecessor. The new candidate for pub
lie favor never saw railway train until
six months ago, and as she can neither
read nor right, it is equally plain that she
never saw school house at any time
In spite of these drawbacks she has man
aged to achieve success III the magnetic
line and the dollars fall into her father
pocket with quite as much grace as if it
were Mary Anderson's step papa. While
the hired girl problem is difficult one
everywhere, it must be approaching the
stage of desperation in Georgia. The
people of that state cannot live by magnet
icgirls alone. They must have bread, butter
and ice cream. together with other neces-
saries and delicacies of the table. But
how can they have these if all their girls
eschew the oven, the churn and the
freezer and march off to New York with
more muscle than John L. Sullivan and
more assurance than new star actress
The next thing that is likely to be heard
of is famine in Georgia. when the general
government will not only be called on fol
aid, but will be asked to enact q constitu.
tional amendment to prevent the exporta-
ton OF magnetic girls from one state to
another under contract. If anything il
guaranteed it is that one state shall moi
do anything to distarb the peace and do

THE LANcTRY's ROMANCE.

She stepped on the gang-plank on the Arizona
last Saturday morning have been of tho
closest nature, said tonight;
II have no doubt i'll the world that if Mrs
Langtry were free to-day to make her choice
she would marry Gebhardt in a moment
She is desperately in love with him, and has
been for a long time. | think know enough
of her, too, TO say that when it comes to a
question of the heart that Mrs. Lang
Try would sacrifice a great deal to
accomplish the fulfillment of her desire
She is a womanly woman after all, and
il. is because she has felt that in the outcome
the world would find that she was acting only
from the purest motives in receiving Mr.
Gebhardt's attentions that she has permitted
them so long There was some business af-
fairs remaining unsettled between US up to
the time of her departure, which compelled
me 10 go down to the steamer Saturday
morning She was surrounded by a parcel
of reporters, who were insisting in taking W
every moment she had, and / was about to
go away in despair when she sent word to
wait for her in her state-room, which did.
Gebhardt was present He looked after hel
every want in the most tender and most mat
ter-of-fact manner She received his atten.
tons in the same way. Wen, now, it did moi
take an old fellow like myself long to see how
the land lay, | can tell you. Gebhardt i.
said to be fool, but think the boys viii find
out that he he is going to have the pretties
