a necessity of nature and love is the sanctify-
ing process, the law of sexual attraction will
exert its subtle sway over the individual will,
our noble sons will be smitten with our fair
daughters, and union will go on here as else
where solely as personal affinity or compati-
bility of temperament may dictate, and unless
the bark of true love, which seems now bound
directly enough for the good old port, en-

The Lyceum Sunday evening was given
over to C. G. Fitzgerald of White Salmon.
Wash, who delivcred.an illustrated phreno-
logical lecture of far more than ordinary in
terest. He spoke for more than an hour and
half, bringing stores which were garnered
in a wider field of learning to bear upon
the subject. At the conclusion of his address
he gave us some fathery advice and express
ed himself as well pleased with our possibili-
ties and achievements, stating that we might
expect some recruits from the neigh borhood
of his home. If this be true and they are of
Comrade Fitzgerald's stamp, they will be
thrice welcome.
Said something about our boat week before
last. Well, Comrade w. II. Bell of Lopez
Island, the machinist who is TO construct it,
is here with us again and ready to commence
operations, but we are not ready for him.
To furnish material with which to build such
a boat our needs require, will require not
less than 800; and we have not this amount
of money to devote to its purchase Just now,
hou N of h., l.. until Of
ter harvest time, when apart of the revenues
when are now most economically expended
to provide us with the means of subsistence,
can be diverted from that primary source and
devoted to this object. Meanwhile toward
QUILTING machine shop, Bro. Bell will sec
to it and personally provide for an engine to
propel our lathe and some Other tools and ma
chinery which he has donated heretofore.
AprOpos, we have other negotiations now
afoot which may save us the expenditure and
spare us the labor Bro. Burgess visits What
com on this business this week.
A lady :orrespondent'writes me 'why don't
you ever tell us something about how the
women dress. | thought surely there would
be something about the Easter bonnets in the
paper. Didn any lady have anv, or is frivo-
lous fashion beneath your notice? | don't
think it ought to be, if it is, raiment is ne
cessity. The apparel oft proclaims the
woman, and the women readers of |. +. might
draw some beneficial inspiration from this
source as well as from any other" Well, Sis
ter, the fault is ours We were never noted
for what they call in journalism 1.-THE FACULTY
for news" and consequently many an inter-
esting matter passes our unobservant eye,
but we intend to be obliging, and whenever
you call in your distress for what infor-
nation You seek we will undertake to answer
and relieve you.
Yes, Equality boasts an Easter Bonnet,
that is certain party who regards herself
an up to date member, displayed a new
cranal outfit on that occasion and boosted to
me about the display she made, called it her
private property, her envied possession. etc.

it may seem, the other women never seemed
to notice it, yet it is very picturesque and
