A Warrington dispatch of tho LIST in
stant says:
The Navy Department is making
every effort to secure adequate repre-
sentution at Samoa. Orders were sent
to-duy to have the Richmond, Alert and
Adams sent to Apia at the earliest
practical moment. The Alert is at
Honolulu, and can reach Samoa in O
month or forty days. The Richmond
is in the Rio do la Plata, on the cast
coast of Soath America, and must go
around CIpe Horn. The Adams is
under repair ut Mare Island Navy Yald.
Ten days or two weeks will serve to
complete the repairs, and after few
days additional are consumed in taking
in stores and coal she may sail on the
voyage, which will take about O month.
The Yantic, now at Brooklyn, will be
ready to sail on the 10th inst, probably
to relieve the Richmond.
The vessels now at Panama and other
stations, which might be otherwise
available, cannot well be spared from

If the facts are as alleged, the dis

will only be demonstrating what every
body has believed to be true for years
that all of our supposed elements
are mere combinations and alloys.
Similar reports have come to us before
from long distant places and have not
been substantiated. But in these days
no man may say it is not true. 1t is
not much more than a century since
air was found to be q composition, and
recently we were informed that there
were stereoscoptic reasons for believ.
ing that hydrogen was combination
of two elements called hellum and GRO.

conjecture even framed as to what the
constituent elements of cobalt and
nickel are until the report of the al
legged decomposition is received"
A. r. Ledoux. an analytical chemist,
also said the discovery, if true, would
prove of vast interest and Importance
to the scientific world, and the details
would be awaited with Impotence by
chemists all over the United States.
1t would be accomplishing something
that men have been trying to do for
years without an Indication of success.
AS to the means employed to produce
the solution, he thought it might be

which to other elements would pro.

A willow hodge across the garden or

lection, but while waiting for this to
grow plant trees or four rows of sun
flowers across the piece. When the
flower stems begin to grow drive some
lath in the row about six feet APART,

stretch two or three lengths of binder
twino on each side of the row, winding
them once around each lath, and wind
some cotton twine around the middle
pair OF strands between each cluster of
flower stalks to keep them from falling
or being blown down. The seed heads
must be gathered as fast az they ripen
and open enough to show the seed, and
spread out in u cool, dry place to dry
out thoroughly, when the seed can be
rubbed or threshed out with light
stick, and cleaned in tanning mill or
winnowed out by the wind. In the fall

OUR GRAND CITY.

In exploring our beautiful city, the
observer will be astonished at the
number Of buildings in process of cree
ton, and improvements being prose
cuted in every section, especially in
the suburbs, where handsome resi-
dences are being built and grounds
prepared and beautifed for homes at
once attractive and substantial. OF
course, the fine buildings being con-
structed in the business portion OF the
city cannot escape observation. This
growth is not feverish or spasmodic,
but healthy and steady. No wild, spec
ulative spirit has taken possession OF
our citizens, but rather genuine spir-
it of enterprise and progress, born of a
conscious knowledge of the grand To-
cation for health, business and enioya-
BILE residence, for which Olympia is SO
justly celebrated, and a consequent
faith or implicit confidence in the fu-
ture OF this magnificent Capital city.
Another reason for the steady growth
OF our city, is the fact that finely stu
ated and desirable residence property
can be now, as it always has been
heretofore, obtained for its intrinsic
value and at very reasonable rates.
1t is also readily seen that misplace
is destined to be the seat of extensive
and important manufactures, as the
wonderful water power and extensive
coal fields in the immediate vicinity
make it an inviting field for a great

Olympia a. q Summer Resort.

From one who comes to Puget Sound
from the Central States, seeking health
or rest, there ever escapes sigh of
cOntentment as he reaches the Sound
basin, and there must ever be feeling
OF sadness and disappointment present
with one who, after having spent a
summer on the shores of our American
Mediterranean, is doomed to spend his
days in country whose summer
winds are as the furnace blast, and
whose winter storms are the billiards.
breath. A person who, for the first
time rounding Dofilemire's point, sees
the placid waters of Budd's Inlet
spread out before him, and clustering
around its head the beautiful city of
the upper Sound, ceases to wonder that
plain Smithster gave way to Olympia,
City of the Gods" ceases to wonder
that the citizens of Olympia love their
town with almost the devotion a child
has for its mother. Such one COM
ing to Olympia in the month of Nav,
and seeing the magnificent floral dis
play of the city, becomes himself i'm
bued with enthusiasm. But let him
in autumn walk along the streets bor-
dered by what then appears to him a
continuous orchard, and he will write
back such descriptions of the crops as
will make him ever after bear the rep
utation of being son of Ananias, a
descendant in the direct line of Baron
Munchausen, q veritable brother of
Bill Nye.
Nowhere on the Pacific coast is a
city 80 beautifully situated, and SO
well adapted i'll every respect for
summer resort. Beauty and magnifi-
cent scenery surrounds her on all
sides. Let the traveller stand on the
Eastside bridge and look westward.
His eyes are first greeted by the Black
Hills, whose irregular submits, cut
like jagged saw-teeth the western sky.
Turning to the North he sees the
Olympic mountains stretch out, like
long row of giant graves, with Mt.
Olympus and Constance as fit sepul-
cheers for the Titan king and queen,
while between him and the mountains
lie the warm waters of Budd's Inlet,
rejecting back as from a mirror trees
and hills and mountain. Let him now
cross the Long Bridge and ascend Per
cival hill and turn his gaze to the
Eastward, and lol Rainier, like a great
white throne, greets him, grander and
more magnificent than Tacoma at our
sister city.
The tumbling water of the Deschutes
and its peculiar basin may well detain
him for days. Does he require a quiet
stroll, let him take the road leading
from Fourth street to the Whitworth
place. Over which the young cedars
form a perfect arch and the soft
breezes bring to him the odor of
crushed fir, an aroma sweeter than
the perfumes of Araby the Blest. For
bathing, the waters of Budd's Inlet
are always warm and safe, but in the
sheltered hooks of Buffers Cove and
Gull HarbOr he finds the warmest wa
tiers and the sandiest beeches. Our
favOrite drive is around twelve-mile
square, perfectly level prairie, inter
spersed with young groves OF oak and
young fir.
