The Topeka Democrat puts forth the
ridiculous claim that its ingalls, letter
is not a forgery because it was written
from memory by the editor of the Dem
Ocrat after hearing an original letter
from Mr.. Ingalls, read. When mans
condemnation has to rest upon letter
copied 'fIom memory" by democratic
editor, the world will have slipped a
good deal farther back in its circuit

Puget Sound and British
ColUm Vancouver Peculiarl-
tisS-Down the columbia.
Our party left Portland for Tacoma
and the sound at 0 p. IN. on Friday
over the Northern Pacific, that being
the only route available, and a very
poor one at that.
Daylight found US in Tacoma where
we found that splendid steamer, the
North Pacific" belonging to the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation company,
ready to convey us up the sound. The
whistle blew, and the oft repeated
gang plank in, sir" was heard. the
side wheels began to revOlve ard We
soon found ourselves going up the
scund-a trip We had all looked for
ward to with a great deal of pleasure.
Going up the sound the steamer
stopped at Seattle and Port Townsend
only long enough to unload some
freight and exchange passengers, and
proceeded.
A COOL AFFAIR.
The trip was very cool affair and
every overcOat and shawl in the party
was brought into active service. On
crossing the straits from Port Town
send to Victoria, d. c., a number of
the passengers began to experience
the first taste OF sea sickness, and it
was no little amusement to some of
the hateful men who had stOmachs
strong enough to withstand the heav-
ing of the ship, to see the ladies and
indeed some of the men seek the quiet
ness of their staterooms.
Victoria was sighted about $3.50
o'clock and in an hour we steamed in
alongside the dock. Here our party
scattered to different hotels of the city
in which they expected to spend the
night. The next day being Sunday We
found it very quiet indeed for sea-
port town, although the saloons keep |
open all day. Victoria is a typical
English city where business is done on |
entirely different methods from those |
used in the states; their stores close at
2 o'clock every Saturday afternoon, ex-
cept the saloons and Chinese stores,
and these may be said to never close.
The city has about 10000 inhabitants
and has fine system of sewerage,
waterworks and electric light, but no
street cars-a fine opportunity for
Shipe. Hack drivers are plenty and as
much of a nuisance as in any of our
eastern cities.
THE NAVY YARD.
About four miles from the city the
English government has a fine navy
yard. which, of course, every visitor
must see, but the hack drivers will |
charge you five dollars to take you
there. However, you can go by omni-
Dus for much less if you are posted.
Here the visitor can spend a very
pleasant afternoon looking over the
navy yard and any government vessels
hat may be in the harbOr.
At 1 O'Clock sharp, our party was
AIKEN in charge by the newspaper men
# the city, and from that time to p. ;

Quick Work.

Nashville Banner.
Yesterday, at Jennings Business
College, a contest in calculating inter-
est took place between twenty pick
ed students to see which could do the
greatest number of examples IN five
minutes-without making mistake.
The rule was that an error in any one
example would shut the student out
of the race. The following was the
result: J. c. Ramsey,Jr. ofMcMinn-
vile, Tenn, rs; Robt. l.. OvertOn, Of
Nashville, rs; Miss Lena Freeman, of
Silver Springs, Tenn, 81; H. G. Cum
minis, of Duck River, Tenn, SIS; Nor
ris Winter, Nashville, 81. None of
the above made a single mistake in
their work. Morris Winter had en-
tered the school less than week pre-
viously. Mr.. Ramsey is a graduate
of the University of Tennessee and
the son of Maj. CHS. Ramsey, of Nc
Minnville. Mr.. Overton is a gradu-
ate of Harvard Unive, sity, and is the
son of Col. John Overton, of this city.
Others of the picked twenty made
excellent time, but IN their eagerless
to beat made a mistake and we're
ruled out. "Be sure you are right,
boys, then go ahead"

Commercial Club.

Nashville business men have a
new organization known as the Com
mercial Club, and it is suggested that
branch clubs be organized in all pro.
gressive Tennessee towns. Every
town in the State should have such
an organization, whether it sustains
any relation to the Nashville club or
not. Suppose the business men Of
McMihnville form such a club and
combine with the public library in
furnishing the room. Such an organi.
zatiOn could accomplish much good
in furthering new enterprises. A
pull altogether always moves some
thing.

Oats do we'll sown the last of March,
but much better sown about the mid

Corn planting begins about the 10Th
and 18th of March. If ground to be
planted is stubble, it is turned in the
fall and winter, but if cotton land it
is usually marked off and planted
without previous blowing. We COM
mence planting cotton about the
middle of April, and sometimes not
until the first Of May. The ground is
usually listed up in winter so that
seeds of grass and weeds will die be-
fore planting time, by that means the
cotton is easier cultivated.
Cotton is the renters enemy, and
the landlords friend. That day is

ing cotton. The sooner the farmer
quits raising it and turns his attention
to raising hogs and grain the sooner
he will get rich. Fifteen or twenty

thing new here, and an explanation
of it may be necessary. Each lady
who attends is to bring a band box
containing bonnet, necessary trim
mingS for same, needle, thread and
thimble. Her name must also be
written on the box. Duplicates ofall
these names are then written on slips
and placed in a hat, from which they
are drawn by the gentlemen. The
gentleman then takes the box bear
ing the name written on the slip he
has drawn, and its owner becomes
his partner for the evening. He is
then to trim the bonnet with all the
millinery skill he can command, and
when finished he must wear it for the
balance of the evening. While he is
trimming the bonnet his partner
makes herself a paper cap, which she
is to wear during the evening. II
will be lots of fun if all will enter
into the spirit of the program.

Before going any further ! will re-
late little anecdote on the health Of
Texas. l give as it was told me !:
About fifty years ago a company of
emigrants were on their way to Tex
as, and on arriving at Red River they
met an old man who was on his way
from Texas to the East. On inquiring
as to his leaving he said that he was
going back East so that he could die,
that people never died in Texas; they
dried up and were blown away by
the winds.
Texas is like all other states, it has
its exceptions. 1t is sickly on all the
river lowlands or bottoms, especially
on Red river, where it is so sickly
that it takes four bull frogs to live a
season.
The water is as good and pure as
that of any other State.
The climate is mild and pleasant
in the winter. 1t seldom SHOWS here,
