In the latter part of that year a band of Ameri cans cleared away the forests and made a settlement at the place now known as Olympia. It would seem, therefore, that the J settlement of Washington Terri tory by Americans was nearly con current with that of California by our own people. The gold fever accounts in part for the stronger current of immigration which was turned toward this State. The dense forests of Washington Ter ritory and hostile Indians nrobablvi had much to do with retarding ing expedition in Eehring sea, was settlements. As late as 1S53, j sent up to Puget Sound.by Corn there were only a handful of white jmandcr Farragut. of the Maro settlers in the territory.

Here is a bit only about fifty persons as late as j of tragedy, as well as cemedy: 1855. The name was derived from ' Pat Canim, on resolving to unite an Indian chief, who was disposed the fortunes of his people, with to live on friendly terms with the j those of the whites, stipulated "Boston men." For many years with the territorial authorities for the Indians. were disposed to be the payment" of eighty 'dollars for peaceful. The delivery of some the head of every chief killed by two hundred thousand dollars in i his tribe, and twenty dollars per presents to the Indians about the i capita for those of lesser note, the year 1854, as a preliminary meas ure for treaty-making, and the frauds practiced by agents in the distribution, had much to do in making enemies of the Indians. They determined to exterminate the whites. The sloop-of-war De catur was ordered from Honolulu to Puget Sound, making the voy age in twenty-five days. Commodore- Phelps was the navigator of the Decatur. The following reference is of local interest: When in California, the ship !

In reply, Captain Ster-1 rett, who, by the way, was favora-' bly impressed with the place i selected, urged the undertaking. with all the eloquence of which he i was master, and to which the gen-, tlemen respended: "That settles it; we will establish it at once."' As they were about leaving, the chairman queried: "By the bv, Captain, how about provisions? Arc the prices reasonable?" The Captain answered by handing them his market book, remarking, "You can see for yourselves,! ntlomcn, what they charged mo and my ship's company." - After carefully scrutinizing every item to the last one recorded, they threw down the book, and with much apparent feeling exclaimed: "We thght the cost of provisions and stores in this city were high enough, and for that reason we desired to go where they were more moderate, but this is beyond all conception. We do not believe Port Townsend savages itad become hostile to the whites. Tin: colonics were poor, and had few effective arms. The Decatur having struck a ledge of rocks, came near being shipwrecked at a later day, but was repaired and did good service. In one of the battles which followed, the forces ot the latter opposed to the Decatur men and a -few settlor., was about two thousand. The In dians, after a number of battles, were whipped into a condition of comparative peace. Ala later day the steamer John Hancock, which had previously been on an cxnlor- heads to be delivered on board the Decatur, and by that vessel forwarded to Olympia to be count ed and recorded. During the month of February several of these ghastly trophies were received and sent to their destination, which completed oar part of the transaction, and the matter had partially passed from our minds, when, on the morning of April 3d, a fleet of twenty-five canoes ap- ! peared from the direction of Alki much complacency he informed us of his having visited Olympia with Vto of his own people and 75 allies of the Skequamish tribe for the purpose of receiving payment for the enemies, and they were now returning to their own coun- try. contented and happy with the resuli of this visit to their white brothers, The future historian of Wash- ington Territory will draw largely from this fragmentary contribu- tion. The men who acted his tory, and who have a vivid recol lection of events are the pioneers, whose contributions are of the greatest importance when the fut ure historian collects his materials for an extended history. Hobby Riding. We notice that many have a mania for talking of their ailments. One question about their health will tilt over on you the great re servoir of their complaints. They have told the story so often that rthcy can slide through the whole from C above to 'C below. For thirty years their spine has been at a disconnt and they never were any better of neuralgia till they took the rheumatism. At first vou feel sympathy for tke invalid; but after a while the story touches ludicrous-. They tell you that they feel so faint in the morning, and have such a poor appetite at noon, and can not sleep nt nights, and have jumbago in their back and Uttle dots floating before their eyes, and have taken ammania cum, gargled their throat with sal ammoniac, and bathed their back with saponaceous liniment; that very moment they are chewing chamomile flowers to settle their stomachs, and excuse themselves for a moment to take off a mustard plaster that begins to blister. They arc the harvest of druggists, and the amazement of physicians, who no sooner clear the pain from one spot than it appears in another. At times we should talk over our dis tresses, and seek sympathy, but perpetual discourse on such themes wears out the patience of our friends. You always see the young people run from the groaning val etudinarian; and the'minister fails in his condolence, for why speak of the patience of Job to one that says boils are nothing to his dis tresses? The hobby he rides is wounded. Incurable nags are taken out on the commons and killed, but this poor hobby jogs on with no hope on the other side of the Red sea of joining Pharoah's horses. The more it limps, and the harder it breathes, the faster the' ride it. Restoring Solomon's Temple. Reuf Pasha, the Turkish Gov ernor of Jerusalem, has recently received imperative orders from Sultan Abdul Hamid to resume the work of restoration of Solo mon's temple, commenced under the reign of Abdul Aziz, but dis continued some five years ago. The Pasha has also been instruct ed to clear the great square front ing the temple of all the rubbish and rank vegetation with which it is at present incumbered. In this square stands the famous Mosque of Omar, which derives a revenue of some 1,500 a year from pil grim contributions and other sources. Hitherto the greatest portion of this sum found its way annually to Staraboul. The Sul tan, however, has decreed that henceforth it shall be applied to defraying the expenses of the works above alluded to, the pres ent resumption of which, as well as their original inception is due in reality to suggestions made at dif ferent times to the Ottoman au thorities by members of the Aus trian imperial family. The restora tion of the temple ruins was begun at the instance of Francis Joseph during his visit to the Hoi- Land, shortly after the accession of Abdul Aziz to the throne; and it was the recent pilgrimage of the Arch-Duke Rudolph to .Tudea that imparted d fresh impulse to the interrupted enterprise. Not only has the Commander of the Faith ful signified it to be his sovereign will that the works be carried out without further delay, but two officials of the Sublime Porte, Serid and Raiff Effexdin, have al ready left Constantinople for Jeru salcm with instructions to take measures on their arrivals for in suring tlie literal fulfillment of his Majesty's decree.

I'ernvian IJlttei-H. Cinchona Itulira Tho Count Cinchon was the Spanish Viceroy in Peru In IffiO. The Countess, his wife, was prostrated by an intermit tent fever, from which she was freed by the use of the native remedy, the Peru vian bark. or. as it was called in the language of the country, 'Quinquina.'" Grateful for her recovery, on her return to Europe In IKS, she introduced the remedy m Spain, where it was known under various names, until Linnauis called it Cinchona, in honor of tho lady who had brought them that -which was more precious than the gold of tholncas. To this day. after a lapse of two hun dred and fifty years, science lias given us nothing to take its place. It etrectu ally cures a morbid appetito for stimu lants, by restoring tho natural tone of the stomach. It attacks excassie love of liquor as it does a fever, and destroys both alike. The powerful tonic irtue of tho Cinchona is preserved in the Peruvian Bitters, which are as effeethe against malarial fever to-dav as they wero in the days of the old Spanish "Viceroys. We guarantee the ingredi ents of these bitters to be absolutely pure, and of the best known quality. Atrial will satisfy you that this is tho best bitter in the world.
