PACIFIC COAST UNITY.

The San Francisco Eyaminer says: at
Is becoming evident that On business mat
tiers the Pacific coast is no longer unit.
Interests are growing up in the North
which, if not in their nature hostile to
those Of California, are made 80 by those
who have them in charge" This remark
is called out by the fact that the Pacific
coast delegation IL not unanimously in
favor Of locating gun factory at Benicia.
What reason can be advanced for placing
the ordnance works in California? That
state has neither iron nor coal, all Of
which must be brought from Puget Sound
or Australia. California has only one rail-
road-the Southern Pacifc-.hiIe Puget
Sound has four transcontinental lines.
Puget Sound is contiguous to British
Columbia, and our beadlands should be
fortified before the Golden Gate.
It Is foolish 10 build iron works where
there is no iron. As well plant orange
groves in Alaska.

The legislature, If 1t has time at this
session, might pass a Law defining the term
colonel as applied to civilians, and de-
claring who shall be entitled TO wear it.
Lately il has become the practice to apply
the prefix TO persons whose most striking
characteristic il that they are fat. or swear
shoekingly, or drink a great deal. This is
abusing an honorable title. Among those
civilians who undoubtedly have the right
to bear the appellation are great
editors, like Colonel Henry watterson;
great orators. like Colonel Patrick Henry
Winston; poets, like Colonel Eugene
Field; men Of science, like Colonel Peter
Jackson, or eminent politicians, like
Colonel Nick Owings. A colonel must be
gentleman; must be man of the world :;
must be popular in the community. Ken
tuckians are not all entitled to bear the
name; and militia colonel becomes plain
"Mr." at the close of his term Of service.

THE MUsMEE.

The Musmee has brown-velyet eyes,
Curtained with satin, sleepiiy;
fou wonder II those lids would rise
The newest, strangest sight 10 seel
Yet, when she chatters, laughs, or plays
Koto, or lutte, or samisen-
No jewel CLEANS with brighter rays
Than fash from those dark lashes then.
The Musmee has small brown face
MuSkTnelon seed Its perfect shape
Arched, jetty eyebrows; nose to grace
The rosy mouth beneath. a nape,
And neck, and chin; and smooth, soft cheeks
Carved out of sun burned ivory;
With teeth which, when she smiles or speaks,
Pearl merchants might come leagues 10 see.
The Musmee's hair could teach the night
How 20 grow dark, the ravens wing
How 70 see ebon; grand the sight
When in rich masses towering
She builds each high, black marble coil
And binds the gold and scarlet in,
And thrusts, triumphant, through the toll
The Kanzashi, her leweiled pin.
The Musmee has small faultless feet,
With snow-white tabi trinity deeked,
Which patter down the city street
In short steps, slow and circumspect:
4 velvet string between her toes
Holds IN its place the unwilling shoe,
Pretty and pigeon-like she goes,
And on her head q hood OF blue.
The Musmee wears wondrous dress
kimono, obi, imogi-
roseoush in spring loneliness
Is not more color glad TO see,
Her girdle holds her silver pine,
And heavy swing her long silk sleeves,
with cakes, love letters, mikans ripe,
small change. musk box and writing leaves
The Nusmee's heart is slow 20 grief
And quick TO pleasure, love ami song;
The Musmees pocket-handkerchief,
"A square OF paper All day long,
Gentle and sweet, and debonair
ls-rich or poor-this Asian lass,
Heaven have her In its tender care!
