0nr IlwacO Letter.

ILwACo, May l, 1889.
If the rest of the United States Gel
ebrated the Centennial anniversary
yesterday as demonstratively as we
did, and contributed a proportionate
amount of bell ringing, cannon firing
and cheering as we did, it will afford
us considerable satisfaction to hear
about it through the newspapers. A
grand salute from the blacksmith's
anvil at sunrise was a fine overture.
At 9 A. NJ, precisely, one tap of the
sonorous fire bell was heard, and then
all the bells turned loose and tried to
drown the anvil. The girls agitated
the church tinker; the boys wrestled
with the lanyard of the fire bell and
engine bell. The old school bell was
rung so hard that it nearly rung the
mortgage off OF it.
In tho evening the A o =. W.
Lodge No. IL entertained and in
terested our people considerably. At
8P. NJ. the members with regalias
proceeded to Ilwaco hall, and com.
menced the exercises by singing theil
opening ode, followed by an eloquent
address by NJ. W., K. Osburn, song
by Miss Dalton, an essay by J. J.
Brumbach, retrospect of the working
and benefits of the order. Mrs. w. w
Ward sang the Star Spangled Banner
in fine style and was warmly ap
plauded. After a few remarks by
Master Workman Osborne the closing
ode was sung and the hall foo
cleared for dancing which was KEEP
up until II 80 when recess was takel
to allow the musicians to mop of
their brows and the dancers to brows,
around the supper table. Dancing
continued until A. NJ, when all de
clared they had had just a splendic
time and would never forget it, espec
tally the cry of that baby from the
weather beach.
A stranger might judge from tn,
number of men around the corners a
evening, and their constant tall
about "corking" that there was a biz
ship yard near by.

Philosophy of the Street.

1t is so easy to see faults in those who
are personally offensive.
How many people mistake singularity
for genius.
People who tell all they know can
generally be relied on for more than
they are absolutely certain Of.
Personal grievances are decidedly
weak levers to move the public with.
The remembrance of a woman S look

locker.
Next to winning there is nothing
gives us so much pleasure as to see
some other fellow lose in game we

Only he who lives life of his own
can he p the lives of 0 hers.
The bonelesS tongue, SO small and
weak, can crush and kill.
The unrest Of the weary world Is its
unvoiced cry before Goa.
Calamity is always the better borne
for not being previously dwelt upon.
Some men permit circumstances to

energy.
How much better is the love that Is

At last they reached the ungainly
