The almanacs say nothing about the
phenomenon, but the near approach of
Mars and Jupiter, next Monday, would
appear to be suggestive of grave spccula-
ton. The fact that the god of war him
self, and the. ancient manipulation OF
thundcr-oelts will pass within Il degree OF
each other on the occasion of the most i'm
portant election that ever convulscd our
Territory, may well excite comment
among those who are accustomed to
watch the signs of the times
The learned professions have generally
been accorded about rs large a share of
moral excellence as would be in fair keep
ing with their erudtion, but it was re-
served for Il prominent Seattle man to be
the first lawyer, so far as history goes
upon whom the stccl-clad doors of our
county Jail have ever been turned. The
narrowing tale, as related by the disconso-
late culprit himself, is about as follows
Having occasion TO interview Il prisoner
client, during the late term of District
Court, the lawyer applied TO the Deputy
Sheriff for admission into the Jail Once
closcted within the barred cell of sover-
eign justice and. feeling themselves safe
from the prying eyes and listening ears of
the inquisitive world, advocate and ellen,
at once socially entered into the merits OF
the case soon to be heard in court But
Mr.. Deputy Sheriff, getting tired of wait
ing for the interview To come TO Il close
and having other and important duties to
perform, quietly locked the doors, put the
keys into his pocket and walked back to
the courthouse. I'm the course of time
the distinguished partner of Demurrer
Nonsuit Il Co., finished his talk with his
client and arose To leave, when 10. the cell
door was found to be locked, and, to all
appearance, he discovered himself TO bc
u,
immensely tickled prisoner. Here was
indeed, a dilemma, with about as many
horns as the tabled great red dragon In
his mad frenzy, the first effort OF tho law
yer was to put his mouth between the
window gratings and shout to Sailor Jack
who was quietly hocing his cabbages in
the adjacent garden, inploring him to run
with all speed and hunt up the Deputy
Sheriff Jack quietly looked over his
shoulder, retortcd with sailors blessing
and went on with his work. The next
melting appeal was 10 lady, who was
passing by on Sixth street. Sorcly fright
cned at being thus accosled by person
from behind the bars of cell, the poor
woman started on q run and did not slack
en- her sped till she was about three blocks
away. The lawyer then began to realize
that although he might drive a coach-and
four through any statute enacted by the
late lamented Legislature he could moi
batter down the walls of adamant erected
by our worthy County Commissioners
The more he pondered, the more he be
came aware that his was indeed hopeless
case-0ne in which even that sacred right
the haJedx corpus, was denied him. Aitcl
further delay of 4 few minutes, which
seemed as years to the captive knight Of
