Washington has her ereat unknown land, like the interior of Africa. The country shut in by the Olympic Moun tains, which includes an area of about 2,000 miles squair, has never, to the positive knowledge of Old reeidenti of the territory, been trodden by the foot of man, white or Indian. These mountains rise from the bvel country. within ten or fifteen miles of the Straits of San Juan de Ffica, in the north, the Pacibc Ocean in the west, Hood's Canal in the east and the basin of Quinault Lake in the south, and, rising to the hight of 6,000 to 8,000 feet, shut in a vast unexplored area. The Indians have never penetrated it, for their tradition say that it is inhabited by a faerce tribe which none of the coaBt tribes dare molest. Though it is improbable that such a tribe could have existed in this moan tain couniry without their presence becoming known to the white men, no man has ever ascertained that it did not exist. White mes, too, have only vague accounts of any white man having ever passed through this country, for investigation of all the claims of travelers has invariably pro red that they have only traversed its outer edges. The most generally accepted theory in regard to this country is that it con sisted of great valleys, stretching irom the inward slopes of the mountains to a great central basin. This theory is supported by the fact that, although the country round has abundant rain and clouds constantly bans over the mountain tops, all the streams flowing toward the four points are lnsignm cant and rise only on the outward slopes of the range, none appearing to drain the great lakes shut in by the mountains. This fact appears to sup port the theory that streams flowing from the inner slopes of the mountains feed a Sreat interior lake. Bat what drains this lake! It mart have an uotlet somewhere, and, aa all the streams pouring from the mountains rise in their outward slopes, it must have a subterranean cutlet to the ocean, the straits or the sound. There aie great discoveries in store for some of Washington's explorers. The National Capital's locations.

Kissed Her for the Cigars. Albany (N. Y.) Express. "1 d give twenty-nve cents for per mission to kiss that girl." remarked an insipid looking youth on, an Albany Douna train tne oiner mgnr, inaicai ing with a motion of his hand an un usually handsome young woman asleep in a seat near bj. The young man was one of a group standing in the rear of the crowded car. Another young man said: "You have my permission, sir, gratis." " H raid she wouldn t regard it as sufficient," laughed the first. "1 don t know, replied the other. "I have a good deal of influence with f ood looking girls. IJ1 tell you what '11 do. I'll bet a good cigar I can kisB her without waking her. "Done!" cried the insipid youth, "I'll give you a cigar if you dare do it anyway, and two more if she don't wake up." "It's a go." ' The daring young man stepped up to the seat where the pretty girl slept. leaned oyer softly and kissed her squarely and audibly upon her mouth. She stirred, smiled a little, but did not wake. The croup of men had watched the proceeding in breathleta suspense, and a long and simultaneous sigh broke from them as young In pudence straightened up after the operation and rejoined the group, sev era I passengers who had seen the au dacious performance staring at him in astonishment. "By Jove! that was elegant!" the fellow of insipid aspect exclaimed as he handed the successful kisser his three cigars. But there was another reckoning to Le nude, lho couductor came hur rying down the aisle and "went for the daring passenger, metaphorically speaking, 'hammer and tongs, cry ing: "Sec here, young man, don't yc ever try that again! Are you a gen tlcman, sir? Don't you know that I can arrest you for such a performance as that: The young mau colored, but laughed nervously as lie answered. ' Ao, don't much believe you can. I guess there isn t any American law against a fellow's kissing his own sister is there?" It had not appeared yet,whether or not the young woman learned of her brother's a&tonishing exhibition of disrerpect, or whether, if she did, her displeasure lessened the gratification den red from the cigars won in such a questionable manner." A Soft Snap. There is a "prophet" on the Island of Java who has been paid $400 per year for the last thirteen years 'to not predict a tidal wave which will sweep clear over the island.'' The native believe that he has to only predict to set a wave in mo tion. If any body has a softer snap lei him be heard trom. May o That Yet.

The Enormous Receipts of the United States Treasury. For the nscal year ending June 30, 1S89, the total receipts of the TjDited StAtes treasury were $387, 050,058. 84. Nearly $254,00 000 came from customs and nearly $130,000,009 from interna! revenues Secretary Wiodom is in favor of tariff revision. For 1890 the estimated treasury receipts will reach the sum of $385,000,000; the estimated ex penses of government $298,000,000 After all available bonds have been ' purchased and the requirements of the sinking fund satisfied, there will still remain a net . surplus of over' $43,500,000 some of which Secretary Windom thinks might well be used to enlarge our foreign markets. He is decidedly of the opinion that part ot the money should be paid to American steam ship lines, to enable them to com pete with suk6idized foreign ves sels. He says the United states baa encouraged the building of railroads by large grants and sub sidies, bul has net one thing for her great maritime interests, refus ing even fair compensation for services rendered by steamers to the government. In 1879 the pension list amounted in round numbers to $35,000.0007' For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, $104,000,000 is the amount expected to be required. Appar ently the old war veterans are get ting wounded over again. On the other hand, however, the interest on the public debt amount ed in 1879. to more tbn $105,000, 060. This year it will be $36,000, C00. We are going to get rid of that moucv somehow. Under existing laws, the inter nal revenues receipts will be in creased this year to $135,000,000. The tax on tobacco aione will not be less that $82,000,000 for the coming year unless congress takes it off. In that case the surplus nil! be reduced by th:.t amount. A tax cf over $5,000,000 is at present eolkcted from G.000.00G gallons of alcohel cocsuincd in the industrial arts and io medicines.

Ciikao Herald, There was a Episcopalian ok' lare delegation of rgymen aboard the who was returning Jerusalem, and the City of Pari from a visit to joke they played upon a youag Eng lishman, was the subject of great mirth. Au h.iihshm.'ii from Man- thestcr wss sent over by his employ ers to represent them in this country, In the exuberance of his feelings he communicated to his fellow passengers before he was a day out the fact that he would be a father by ihc time he reached the other side. He was to receive a cai.leit quaran tine, whirl, in the event of a gfrl be ing born, would read simply, "Mary," and in case it wes a hoy it would be "James." The clergyman found a blank cable dispr.tch, and wrote upon it the word "James," and when the pilot came alongside, nf Sandy Hook, they instructed a cabin boy to hand the dispatch t; the gentleman, and to say it was a cable for bim. brought down by the pilot ln..at. The Eng lishman received this lotus dispatch at the same time with another genuine cable, which read, "Mary," "By Jove, twins!" he exclaimed. An Eje to liubiness. Jitnmic wa3 the brightest, of boys, and having evinced a love for wealth, looked forwacd to the time when he would be awich man. Ons morning, at breakfast, his aunt informed him that during the night twins had been added to ihe family, which already consisted of three besides Jimmie. The doy dropped his knife, and fork and exclaimed: "Great Scott! Aunt Mary, if father and mother keep r n , at this rate there won't be fifty dol lars to divide amoung ue!"' They Set Him Oat. . After they had jailed a tramp in Indiana as "poor, friendless and having no home," he invited the Sheriff to dinner, sent out a hund red dollar bill to buy champagne and turkey, and asked him to take charge of $2,600 ho had been carrying in his boot-legs. They managed to get that lail door open . back to the jamb as he walked out. A Hardhearted Thief.
