This, perhaps, the smallest of all ma

! lease of life. Its greatest length is un-
der thirty miles, its greatest breadth is
under twenty: and when "Historia de

nearly all the charters, prior to the
middle age OF the German and Italian re-
publics, have disappeared, the original
charters of this republic have remained
almost unsupported in its Pyrenean
archives for more than II thousand
years" The first credited tradition of

to exist, from sol. The war OF Andor-

Not long ago, during services in a
well known rI'areh, two game roosters
entered the house and began to fight.
An Old deacon was about to eject the
chickens when the preacher, stepping
down from the pulpit, said "IIoll on
a minute Brother Matthews, I want to
show this congregation the evils Of cock,
fighting: how how barberous--'
"Bet ten dollars on the red oue,''
some one exclaimed.

preacher, putting the stakes into bis

Polygamy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-In reporting
to the House the joint resolution propcs
ing constitutional amendment defining
and prohibiting polygamy, the House
committee on judiciary says the object
is to clothe the genera! government with
concurrent powers with the several states
to suppress the crime of polygamy in
the several states. 1t is believed, says
the report, that within very brief
period the practice of poIygamy in the
territories will be cffectually suppressed,
but it must be evident to every one that
In one or perhaps more OF the territories,
the Withdrawal Of the power Of the gen
eral government to punish polygamy,
which necessarily would follow the ad-
mission of such territories into the Union
as states, would be the signal for the
return to the practice of polygamy.
The anti Mormon element would be
powerless either to make or enforce laws
against this ofensc. Such territories
must either, therefore, be continued in
definitely under the expense Of territorial
government, or admitted into the Union
as states, with an absolute certainty that
pologamy will be shielded from punish
ment by statehood. This result, it is
believed, cannot be certainly prevented,
excet. by an amendment to the const,tu
ton of the United States such as is now
proposed.

Washington special: The House tc.
day passed bill which will be Of great
Importance, as soon as it becomes law,
to all commercial organizations as we'll az
to railroads. It is said that it has been
the custom in the past for men to secure
bills Of lading ON alleged shipments OF
freight and attaching them to drafts to-
collect money for the goods which were
never shipped. The supreme court has
held that the bill Of ladiug was not con-
elusive evidence of the shipment Of tho
goods, and in consequence railroads
could not be held for damage. Tho bill
passed by the House to-day makes bills
Of lading conclusive evidence that goods
have been received by the railway COM

corporations gives the shipper such =
receipt it may be held for any damage
which may occur through the failure Of

WALLA WALLA, Feb. 81, 1888.
EDITOR ion:-Apolo2ics are need
less in presenting to your readers few
Stubborn facts and figures touching Walla
Walla's condition to day and the COM
para'ive prosperity of other prominent
towns Of our territory. To day in this
city propcr,y has little value; there
are few buyers; dwelling houses rent for
barely enough to pay taxes, insurance
and repairs. There is general stagna-
lion in every department of business and
the active energetic men who are now
here are making arrangements to leave.
Do you tell me this is real picture :?
and yet it is too true.
What is the secret of the success OF
Seattle, Tacoma aud Spokane and the
stagnation of Walla Walla? The three
first named towns are controlled BY
young, ambitious and entcrprising men
who will exert every nerve and use every
dollar they can raise to promote the in
terests of their own city. The repre-
sentative men of each form solid
phalanx with all their labor, money and
mears to build up their favoritc city.
Long in the past they have been con.
tribu,ing their means and sending repre- :
sentatives east soliciting capital and en-
terprisc to aid them. As result east
ern capital has taken hold Of Spokane,
aud that capital has stimulated other
capital and emigration until that which
was village has become a prosperous
city attracting the attention of railroad
companies and capital everywhere.
What is said of Spokane may be said Of
Tacoma, aud Seattle to great extent,
although she is possessed of many natural
advantages calculated to make her the
metropolis of the territory.
1t is not climate, nor productiveness
nor horded hidden wealth, nor Away.
location that makes city-these are
only helpers. But it takes men-libera
active. ambitious, wide awake men-to
make cities. OF all the towns above
named, our own Walla Walla, save
Seattle, possesses the most natural ad
vantages to become good city, but she
wants men. There is class OF mer
here who are one hundred years dehind
the age and unfortunately they have al
the money It is no, uncommon to hea,
such men argue that they have all thu
railroads We want, that they "will sivt
nothing TO enrich railroad" "thal
roads have to come here" ''that one
road is oil We want" etc. There arr

that if our people will make great
effort our thralldom may yet be destroyed
The great Manitoba is coming to the
Pacific coast, in fact is but little over
500 miles from there now. 1t could
come over the I.o Lo pass, down the
Clearwater, through the vast wheat fields
between here and Lewiston and across
the Columbia at Wallula, the ouly natur-
al crossing there is. And it is possible
if the people o; Walla Walla would take
hold of the matter as they ought, jim

be induced to make careful survcy %!
the route before the road is hnaly
located beyond Butte City. Coall We
get that road here the future of our
city and country will be most bright and
prosperous. Next summer that road
will come to US or pass us on tn. other
side. Would it not be well for us to
make an effort, and make it now
Would 1t not be well for the board of
trade, or the people in convention, to
send a committee to interview the Mani
toba people, and if we cannot get the
main line we may get branch whereby
we may be relieved from monopoly.
BY so doing we would show to that com
pany at least that We are anxiously wait
ing for them, and that the road shall
have our hearty support when completed.
Why eau we not have little of the
energy of Spokane manifested here :?
This is almost our last chance. If an
effort is made and not successful, we
will have the satisfaction OF feeling that
we have done all we could
to redeem our city and country. Every.
thing and all railroads from tl4 east and
from the west seem to point to Spok ane
Falls, aud one great reason for that is
that the people Of that city are reaching
out and asking for every kind of i'm
provcmcnt and enterprise, and especially
for railroads. Let Walla Walla present
her claims now to the Manitoba, aud we
may all be happy yet. NJ. +. j.

We have heard of a great many mean
tricks played on people in churches, in

we are about to relate takes The cake:
No sooner did the dancing commence
at the young mems select party on
Wednesday evening, at the A. O. L. W.
hall, than Il strange feeling came over the
dancers, especially the ladies'. Couples
stood out on the floor, locking at each
other in silent agony, twitching, some
coughing and some snuiling the air with
long and Thoughtful counteuanrcs. Pres
entity one remarked: ~ believe some
m'schlevous person put red pepper on the
floor; others could hardly believe it and
tholeht it WAS merely dust. Bat as the
dancing proceeded the agony increased
atd many felt like going home. Every
bady finally became conyiuced that some
one had scattered red pepper over the
floor, but no one could imagine or surmise
the perpctrator or the source, At last a
clue was discovered, and upon an limo.

Dame, an estimabe and highly accom-
piishod young lady, was passing friend,
the latter noticed d little red bag made out
OF line TARTAN, swinging loosely on the
back OF her dress beneath the trimmings.
At tlrst it was supposed to be perfume
bag, bat upon close inspection it proved
to be little sack, still partly filled with
red pepper The poor, unsusp"cting
young lady felt greatly shocked, almost
paraIyzed, for she knew not who pinned
this vile appendagc to her dress. Pres
emily she remembered how a laly came to
her house hat evening and volunteered to
fix the dress for Miss Martha and she
fixed it with a vengeance. Such things
are hard to believe, yet We have it direct
from the injured party and she is so
gricved aud annoyed over this spiteful
malicious act, that she hardly knows how
o, where to seek redress, for such things
are bard to hear.

To Be Welded Happily.

Happiness and selfishness can never
flourish on the same stem; one kills
the other. To be welded happily
the promoters are congeniality and
unselfishness. A good woman will
endure much for her husband, the
man for his wife. A true woman
will smile, cheer and help her hus-
band should clouds come. Then is
the time to test her character, solve
the problem, the object of her matri-
mony. Men, look for women with a
heart, soul do not let their fiscal
beauty he their sole attraction rath-
ar let it be their beauty of soul and
character that inspires your love for
them. For with these there will be
no autumn; no fading; their leaves
will be fresh and beautiful forever,

Any man that is a serious lover of
conjugal felicity, had better make
his wife private secretary. A humer-
Gus illustration of how wholly far
from the mark "circumsatantial evil

shown in the following incident:
A newspaper man once planned a
story, in which a lady unhappily
married, was TO sue for divorce, and
to make sure of being correct, he
wrote to lawyer friend, stating the
case as he meant to describe it.
Back came a postal card: "You
could not get a divorce on the

You might in Connecticut OF

An old-Time Wedding.

Weddings, says the Youths Com
panion, are generally merry occa-
sions in our time. The religious
services are simple, and the company
of guests, whether large or small, is
in high spirits and count upon a
lively time. 1t is quite possible that
not even the persons most nearly
interested comprehend the solemnity
of the act OF marriage, and OF the
serious responsibilities that come
with it. A century and half ago in
New England the solemnity was
more marked, and the religious
services formed a dominant element.
DIR. Isaac Backus gives a graphic ac-
count of his marriage, Nov. 90, 1740:
ga Psalm was read by Rev. Mr..
Shepard, of Attleboro', hymn was
sung, and prayer offered. Then /
took my dear Susan by the hand,
and spoke something of the sense
had of our standing and acting in the
presence of God, and also how He had
clearly pointed out to me this person
to be my companion and a helper
meet for me. Then I declared the
marriage covenant, and she did the
same. Thereupon Esquire Foster
solemnly declared that we were
husband and wife. Bro. Shepard
wished us blessing, and gave us 8
good exhortation, as did some Others
Another prayer was offered, after
which all united in singing the one
hundred and first Psalm"
This was followed by short ser
mon from the groom.
