the query " What viii he do - in re.

on, two courses which lie before Mr..

IL pathway beaten by bis predecessor,
10y Hayes, and by Grant, whose
bearings have been defined by mon-
eyed rings and corporate power.

4 Beautiful Song.

The following lines Of i popular
song are published by request. Tle
sentiments they express will find an
echo of hope and promise in many a
dropping heart. When the mists
have cleared away" we will be bet.
ter able to Judge of each others mo-
tives, and hearts now separated by
imaginary, but still immutable, bar
riers, will find that Snowy wings
of Peace shall cover all the anguish
OF to-day:
When the mi,ts have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine warm and tender
Fall, in kisses on the riis.
We may read Loves shining letter
In the rainbow Of the spray
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
ChoRus
We shall know rs we are known,
Never more To walk alone,
In the dawning OF the morning,
When the mists have cleared away :.
Ii we err in humane blindness
And forget that we are dust,
If we miss the law of kindness,
When we struggle to be Just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the anguish of today
When the weary watch is over
And tie mists have cleared away.
Chorus.
When the sllvery mist has yelled us
From the faces of our own,
Oft We think their love has failed us
And we tread our path alone;
We would see them near and truly,
We would trust them day 10y dav.
Neither love nor blame unduly,
1.-THE mists were cleared away.
CHORUS.
When the miStS have risen above lis,
As our Father knows his own
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known.
Love, beyond the orient meadows,
Floats the golden fringe of day,
Heart To heart we'll bide the shadows
Till the mistS have clcare,. away.

Seattle.

An occasional visit 10 our enter
prising neighbors ON Elliott's Bay
affords an excellent opportunity to
form correct judgment of the
progress made in given period of
time by the embryo metropolis. The
improvements of the past year have
been steadily maintained, and they
are of a permanent character, de-
spite the hard times and the unavoid.
able reaction incident TO prot,acled
season of inflated values of all classes
of city property.
1t is impossible, at this time, to
note in detail the many evidences of
this growth. The exter sion Of dock
facilities, whereby the output of coal
may be increased and better accom-.
mediation given to the large fleet of
steamers and other vessels plying
between Seattle, as the supply point,
and foreign and home markets;
the machine shops and manufactor-
les possessing facilities for almost all
classes of work, and only requiring a
revival of trade to make the hum
of industry" resound with renewed
vigor; the street railway, the first
in the Territory, great conven-
fence Whose full merits have not vet
been tested by favorable conditions;
the fine hotels, of which the Occi-
dental takes the lead, and the beau
tifnl opera house, equal to New
Market, in Portland, are factors
which will aid in bringing about d" the
good time coming"
Among the new things resultant
from constant endeavor, which may
prove great boon to other seaport
towns, is method of preserving
piles from the teredo. process dis
covered by Mr.. Colman. The mois-
ture is extracted from the wood by
vacuum pressure, and the fiber is
filled with composition of asphalt
tum and other ingredients, which it
is claimed will effectually prevent the
ravases of this destructive agent. A
wharf has been built to test the eff
cacy OF this discovery.
Many of Seattle's best citizens
candidly acknowledge that they be-
lieve their fight against the Northern
Pacific Railroad has greatly contrib
uted to business stagnation. They
regard it as a mistaken policy, the
effects of which will require years of
united effort to overcome.
