Won Out Against a Brilliant Parade.

Speaking of Booker T. Washington's
felicitous address before Bethel Literary
and Historical Association here q short
time ago, a correspondent of the Hunt
ington, W. Va, Spokesman, made the
following comment, all of which and
more is true;
"The grea Test feature in his visit here
Was the intense interest which his race
displayed toward him. Regardless of
the Mystic Shriners, who were visiting
the Guy, and large parade with bril-
liant fl ewOrks which took place the
evening of his address, fully 5000 of
WashingtOn's progressive colOred and
white society turned out to greet the
professor and TO do him homage. Mr.
Washington may well be called a leader
who hss not only talked, but has placed
bis views into actual WORKS."

THE RUSH TO CAPE NOME.

Advfces from Seattle state that
twenty-five steamships are scheduled
to leave there for Nome in May. two
promising TO get away May 1. seven
May 10. three May 10. one May II. two
On the 24th. two ON the 25th. one on the
Both. and one on the 31st. The vessels
TO sail on the goth have booked 1919
passengers and 1900 tons of genera
merchandise. This will probably be
he liveliest day of the year. as several
vessels will also leave that day for
Skaguay.
The most conservative estimates of
traffic TO Nome this year. based on
actual returns show that 1898 persons
have already engaged passage for the
first sailings of the twenty-five steam
ships. and that these vessels have al
ready contracted for $4,000 tons of
merchandise in their cargOes. Taking
the average charge of 800 per passen-
ger and $40 ton for freight, and it is
seen that the steamships will get n
total gross revenue during the next
month of 1861 300.
The operators of fourteen of the
vessels state that they intend to make
four trips each to Nome during the
season. Five will make three trips and
the remaining six one trip each.

and went about with smile. making
the best of the new condition in which
he found himself. He was one of the
