One man will never deadhead any

True kee Canyon. Just as the midnight
train pulled out from Truckee he Jump
ed ON to the pilot of the engine. No
one saw him. 1t was one of the. en-
gines that have a space between the
boiler-head and the top of the pilot, and
he snuggled down SO close inthis space
that the fireman passed him unnoticed
while oiling the engine. The place was
warm and cosy, owing to the heat from
the boiler, and as the train swept around
the curves of the river the man kept
ehuckling quietly at the cute manner in
which he was swindling Leland, STAN

As there seems to be much fear felt
elsewhere Of the smallpox, and as some
wild stories are in circulation about the
prcvalcncy of the disease, we have made
it point to inquire into the matter, for
the purpose OF relieving the public mind
of unnecessary distress. The only case
or cases Of smallpox on Puget Sound are
one or two at Port Townsend. a man
on board the barkcntine Victor broke
out with the disease, and was taken with
the entire crew and the vessel to quamn-
tine three miles below Port Townsend,
The vessel was cleaned and tumigated,
and on Sunday last was released, togeth-
cr with her master and a portion of the
crew. None of the mans shipmatcs
have so far given evidence Of infection,
and. as the sanitary regulations are OF
the very best character, tits thought
none of them will. The case that caused
the excitement at Port Townsend last
week was that of an Indian on board the
DalOta He broke out with measels or
something of the kind, which few timid
ones discovering at once pronounced
smallpox. The only two physicians at
Port Townsend were sent for, neither of
whom could say that the disease was as
asserted, and the Indian. leaving the
ship, was placed in the pest house at the
quarantine ground his nine companions
on board taking canoe and goingln it
to Victoria. This is or these are the
only case or cases Of smallpox now
known to exist on Puget Sound, and
probably the only two in Washington
Territory, Both are caled for, and
guarded against all possibility Of spread
ing the contagion. There need be no
fear on the part of any one, and the less
fear felt the better for Tribune.

he comes home late, weary, and "out
Of sorts" He has worked hard for yon
all day, perhaps far into the night;
he has wrestled, hand in hand with
care, and selfishness and greed, and all
the demons that fall in the train Of
money making. Let home be another

that there is no other place in the
world where he can fnd peace, and
quiet, and perfect love.

Might have my life whatever l chose,


And live it in any part Of the oarthi--
Put perfect sunshine into my sky,


Danish the shadow of sorrow and doubt;
Have all my happiness multiplied,


And all my suffering stricken out;
If I could hayc known in the years now gone,
Tho bost that woman comes to know;
Could have had whatever will make her blest'
Or whatever she thinks will make her go;
Have found the highest and purost bliss


That tho bridal wreath and ring inciose;
And gained tho one out OF all the world


That my heart as well rs my reason chose.
And if this had been, and stood tonight


BY my children, lying asleep in their beds,
And could count in my prayers, for rosary,


The shining row of their golden headsi-
Yes l said if a miracle such as this


Could DO wrought for me at my bidding, still
would choose to hayo my past as it is,


And To- let my future come as it will

More pleasant or even, more straight Cr wide
Nor change my course the breadth of hair,


This way or that way to either side.
My past is mine, aud take it all;


Its wsnknoss-its folly, if you please;
Nay, even my sins, if you come to that


May havo been my helps, not hindranees
If saved my body from the flames


Because that once had burned my hand
Or kept myself from greater sin


By doing less--you will understand;

Better snned for little time,

And the sting Of sin withheld from crime.

In a recent number of the New York
Sun is an editorial on the financial sit
uation of the country, which surprised
ms. The writer undertook to account for
the fact that plenty Of money is Offering
on call loans at 2@211: per cent, that
the banks are full to repletion, and
that capitalists are anxious to invest.
In the mean time labor is cheap and a
large proportion Of it unemployed. In
all the large cities thousands of able
bodied laborers are idle and themselves
and families forced to depend upon
charity, but they cannot find employ
ment at any price. The Sun writer
proceeds to say that ordinarily such a
combination of circumstances could not
exist. That capitalists and business
men would take advantage of the cheap
labor Offering and make improvements
in real estate, and build mills, factories,
railroads, etc.; but they avoid such
enterprises now because of the unsettled
values Of property and uncertain pros
poets. He attributes this want Of
stability in values and favorable pros
poets Of the future to the overtradine,
extravaganza and excessive production
of the past, but does not attempt to
specify what he means by such accusa-
tions.


He evidently perceives that the true
cause of the trouble is our absurd finan-
cial system, but being an advocate of
the national banks and specie basis
theory dares not extend his line of ar
gument to its natural conclusion. He
says, however, that although there is
plenty of money to be had on availa-
BILE collaterals, such az government
bonds and other saleable securities, bus
mess men cannot borrow, even on
mortgages on city property, at such
rates us will justify them in using bor-
rowed capital in their business; and
even western lands are not regarded by
capitalists generally as safe securities
for more than one-third or one-fourth of
their present valuation. The reason is
clear to every intelligent man who will
think the matter over. If the specie
