Centennial Prophets.

If President Harrison does not know
all about this country now it will not be
because he has failed to be duly informed
by both Bishop Potter and DR.. Chauncey
NJ. Depew. The different standpoints
from which, on the same day, these two
distinguished orators looked on their
country are remarkable. Bishop Potter's
sermon showed one infallible evidence
that the bishop is growing old. 1t took
on the tone of grumbling and of discon-
tent, not to say croaking. We are in
danger on account of our plutocracy.
and we have descended as nation from
Washingtonian dignity to Jacksonian
vulgarity. Unless we stop making mer-
cll..ndise of public offices, unless we cease
70 permit SO many Thousands of low
blooded foreigners to flock into our Dor
ders, we shall go speedily to the demni-
ton bowwows, according to orator Pot
ter. Evidently the bishop thinks we
should be ruled by blue blooded people
with ancestors and slim pocket books.
But what would the reverend gentleman
have? All our ancestors were low blooded
foreigners when they landed in America
to better their fortunes. Doubtless a
good many of them came over in the
Storage, too.
It is a relief to turn from the bishops
gloomy forecast to Chauncey Depew's
bright and cheerful words. Mr.. Depew
enlarged on our great material prosper
perity. He declared further that the
principles which founded this happy
government still swayed US, and would
continue to do so.

The Unhistorical Washington.

The glamour that has surrounded
Washington for century is now being
blown away little, and the real man is
seen. The genuine Washington wore
No. Is boots. He ordered them BACKED
up the legs very carefully and placed at
his bed room door every morning. When
they were not done to suit him the negro
servant who BACKED them confessed
that
"He damned me over de head wild 'em
all through de hall"
If his slaves did not obey his orders
the irate father of his country raised his
cane and whacked them soundly with
his own hands. He was manof tower
ing temper, and sometimes lost control
of it. Some young men galloped past
his carriage one Sunday and covered him
with dust. One of the youths testified
afterwards that he never gotsuch acurs-
ing in his life. Chief Justice Marshall,
when plain Maj. Marshall, ventured to
oppose Washington's wish that he MAR
shalD should run for congress. Thereat
Washington poured upon him such a
torrent OF abuse that the very air was
blue. Marshall declared that he never
heard the like, and he no more dared to
call his soul his own, so browbeaten,
bullyragged and outraged he was.
Washington was also an enormous eater,
and had huge nose, which was fiery
red in cold weather. He had the physi-
cal strength of almost two ordinary men.
The collection Of his writings edited
by Worthington G. Ford contains some
letters the early historians all saw ftto
suppress, in the interests of glory. One
of the most remarkable Of these was
written in 1868. He sent it to the cap
tain of a West Indian ship by the hand
of slave. He requested the captain tc
handcuf the negro and take him to the
West Indies and sell him, because he
was rogue and a runaway" In re-
turn for the negro Washington desired
: the captain to bring him:
One hogshead Of best molasses; one ditto Of
best rum; one barrel of lines, If good and cheap;
one pot of tamarinds, containing about ten
pounds; two small ditto Of mixed sweetmeats
about five pounds each And the residue, much
or little in good old spirits
Washington further remarks Of this
undesirable piece of property:,
That this fellow is both rogue and q runaway
(tho' he was by no means remarkable for the for
mer, and never practiced the latter till of Lated
shall not pretend to deny, but that he is exceed
ing healthy, strong, and good attheh hoe, thewhole
neighborhood can testify, and particularly Mr..
johnson and his son, who have both had him I'M
reason to hope he may, with your good manage

A notable military organization took

passed through some of the hottest
fights of the civil conflict. At the
bloody slaughter of Burnside's army at

London street car. drivers work four
teen hours q day and get So to 81 a week.
They are allowed one day off in fort
night. Their wives are not permitted
by the street car companies to keep shop
or in any way add to their earnings.
The street car company owns not only
the driver, body and soul, but also his
family. Yet such is the surplus Of labor
in London that even under these hard
conditions there are always hundreds OF
applicants waiting for places.

prise to All.
WArERvIILE. w. T., Feb. 27.--Cor-
respondence. Winter appears to be almost
gone for the present, and we are not sorry
to see the snow disappearing. The ground
in this vicinity has been covered almost
three months and during the greater part
of that time the sleighinR or Shedding has
been pretty fair. The citizens have been
using the opportunity to very good ad-
vantage.
The saw.mils on Badger mountain were
never before so we'll supplied with logs.
The mill men are therefore prepared to fill
orders for lumber as they will certainly be
called upon to furnish more building ma
terial than In two years before.
The saw timber on Badger mountain
OF good quality Is getting scarce and we
are anxious to see the cars unloading lum-
Der at Waterville and other points.
The town of Waterville is a surprise to
strangers becase of its rapid growth The
original townsite was but forty acres, and
was government site. This ground was
all taken before anyone had proved up on
their lands. As soon as A. T. Greene could
do 80 he plated forty acres as hiq first ad-
dition. This was taken so rapidly that he
then put ON eighty acres as his second ad
dition. Purchasers would not wait for the
ground to thaw 80 it could be surveyed
The plat was made out and recorded and
they are buying from the plat. In some
towns this would be an uncertain way
Kincade Il Walters have each put on for
ty acre additions. This makes the terri
tory of the town 240 acres, and plenty of
suitable land adjoining for all the addi-
tions necessary. There is some danger OF
having too much on the market. The pros
pective railroads are furnishing some OF
the stimulation.
Everything bids fair for this to be
lively season in every department. lmmi-
grants are already arriving, and we hear
of very many who expect to be here as
early as the roads will permit. This will
doubtless be true all over Eastern WASH
ington and in some portions of Western.
In securing the Spokane & Northern
railroad q good work for your city has been
done. We of the Big Bend will also feel
the influence from that road. We are,
however, more directly interested in the
making eastern connections.
The farmers here expect to have sur
plus of productions this year.
We are in great need of bank in Wa
terville. This would save trouble for those
paying for their land.
An express line ought to be established.
In my next hope to be able to say some
thing as to the effect of the winter on the
stock.
Two bands Of sheep of about 1000 each
were brought to this neighborhood late
last fall to be wintered on hay and straw.
The result reported is that they lost 20 per
cent. The sheep were poor and were
perhaps diseased. This does not appear
to be a healthy locality for sheep. Cattle
and horses raised here do better than
those imported.
The snow on the Cascades is said to be
lighter than for number of years past.
The same is true in this locality, and we
are hoping that we may yet have more
snow or rain. as the ground is not yet wet
enough to insure good crops.

The information that the body would

was anxious to pay tribute TO the memory
OF the dead. The 6rst wife and children
were among the people who met the re-
mains. When the casket was opened the
wife was deeply affected aud showed the
deepest grief.
The funeral was one of the largest in
