THE BURNED TOWN.

Seattle is the largest town in Wash.
ington Territory, and the greatest dis
tributing point in the Northwest. The
resources around the town in iron and
coal are said to be inexhaustible. A large
coal deposit is within fifteen miles Of
Seattle. There are several rolling mills
in the city. The surrounding country
Is exceedingly rich in all kinds of min
eral deposits. Tacoma, younger but
bard-pushing rival, has a million dollar
gold smelling furnace.
Seattle has also large number OF
mills for dressing lumber, the woods of
the Territory being especially thick.
Trees are found thirty and forty feet in
diameter and of enormous height. The
town Is enormously wealthy, even in
lumber interests. There are also furni-
ture manufactures. Shipyards have
been established.
Seattle is the port of shipment of
much of the grain that grows so
abundantly in that section. The hop
industry is one of the most important
in the town, and much Is expected from
the growing of the sugar beet Fish of
many kinds are caught in the adjoining
country in abundance, and form q
staple of the towns commerce.
II has seized upon every modern i'm
provement for the convenience of its
citizens and to increase the volume of
its business. Its population Is esti-
mated at between $4,000 and 10000.
Cable and electric street cars furnish
rapid transit. Some of its business
blocks were structures of brick and
iron, five and six stories high. The
Occidental Hotel, just burned, was q
large and comfortable hostelry. A new
hotel called the Denny, to cost $3.50 900,
has been contracted for.
BY far the greatest activity has been
displayed during the past years in real
estate operations. Transfers to the ex
tent of $4,000, 900 were made during
1883. The part of the town that was
burned is the older, and while 1t con-
tanned many handsome buildings, bust
ness houses, banks, ETC., most of II was
Of the frame and shanty variety.
The great fire, serious as 1t is, cannot

department was quite imperfect aid in
adequate TO the wants of a growing
manufacturing centre. Out of the
$50 men in the department but seven
were known to have been paid. The
flre-alarm system was utterly out of
keeping to the equipment. Telephone
service and bells constituted the system.
There were but six horses In the depart

THE RICHEST YET!

There is to be noticed just now in
certain Democratic newspapers the
most remarkable style of comment on a
political subject ever yet made. The
occasion of this astonishing exhibition
is the particularly satisfactory condi.
tion of affairs in that portion of our
governmental system known as the
State Department. what might have
been grave international troubles have
been adjusted and the United States has
come out triumphant in the attitude
assumed, has maintained q dignity
which has been productive Of good.
already the American abroad feels q
different being from what he was
year ago, He feels that he has
country TO protect him in an emergency.
That this isso is gall and wormwood to
the Democratic editor of the narrow
class. Blaine, the energetic. the man
of tact and brain, the typical American,
he hates as holy,water is said to be
hated by him of the divided hoof and
ornamental tail. That the State De-
partment should be what 1t is, that
Americans should be treated with con-
sideration abroad is making his life a
burden, He does not know what to
say, and so in his imbecile desperation,
be remarks that the present Secretary
OF State has done well to continue Mr.
Bayard's policy
OF all grotesque comment, Of all
idiotic reflection, of all silly recourse,
this is the most amusing We have
State Department now. We had none
year ago. There was Secretary
not a bad man at all, but weak and
blundering from the date of the Kelley
blunder down to the hour he vacated
the Office. He was the plaything of
foreign government managers. A nice
old gentleman is Mr., Bayard, but he is
no judge of men; he has no tact and his
backbone Is of the type which apper-
tains to the sturgeon. II is flexible,
very flexible He was q Democratic
idol four years ago. He is an idol now
only in the sense that he Is lifeless.
And his policy, weak, vacillating, tact
less, is what ii is declared is now being
carried outl
Only once In the history of this coun-
Try has similar opportunity been af-
forded Democratic newspapers to pay
similar compliment to a Republican
succeeding one of their own party in
power They might have praised Mr.,
Lincoln for carrying out so well the
policy inaugurated by Mr.. Buchanan

THE ROSE THAT BLusHED.

A single rose fell downward through the
air,
From where within her opera box she sat,
With matehless face so wondrous calm and
fair,
That all the singers paused to gaze
thereat.

And modesty, and spotless maiden grace,

Behold them there upon that noble face.

Wen resume our fishing by-and-by;
With hopeful hearts wen cast our bait,
Through sunny hours together wait,
Then homeward go with languid gait,
Aud oh, how wen lie

Lies of perch and pickerel,
Lies OF bullheads, lies Of bass,
And the awful lies which pass

Fish so big II towed boat,
Swallowed hook and line and float

Can we ever pass the gate

Guards so grimly, guards so well ?

Peter was q fisherman;

A Mental Phenomenon.


WASHINGTON, June 10.--Editor Critic.
Under the head of Books and Writers"
notice a review of Il. ID. Walkers
book, ''Iteincarnation." A Russian
theory is cited TO account for that pecu-
liar phenomenon which almost everyone
has experienced, viz; When taking
walk or speaking to somebody to have
1t suddenly flash across the memory
that the whole thing has transpred be-
fore, although the locality is a new one
or the circumstances entirely novel.
The explanation of this sensation
must be entirely physical one. The
theory of readjusted brain atoms Is
fallacious, as it Is obvious that some
nineteenth century scenes could not
possibly have been witnessed by some
remote ancestor of whom we form re-
adjusted part. A more plausible mat.
ter fact explanation is found in Pro.
fessor Osborn's (of Princeton) theory
that when the brain is fatigued or only
partially conscious, one hemisphere of
the brain only is called into action,
forming a faint impression, the other
hanging fire, until suddenly aroused by
attention, both hemispheres unite TO
form distinct impression. There then
arises vague consciousness that the
ideas have passed through the mind
before, while the briefness of the time
interval Is overlooked because of the in
distinct character of the first impress
sion. Theorists are too prone TO over
step the bounds Of common sense in
their endeayors to substantiate their
theories Il, i, MERLERog,
