A peculiar kind of «h*THl*h, the Un of which lika Mnr bn> mm on Ik* sound, wu fished oat at two haiiiliafl feet of witer near Flva-Mle nobt tfca other norotiif by a rock ood •ay* the Seattle Poet-InteUfeeaaer. The nan felt a toe at nil 11m mA began pulling In. Jadglaff from tha weight he concluded thai he muat 1mm eaught the grandfather of all the nah cod In the sound. When he had taken in all hi* line he wsa astonished to ted that he had not only landed a splendid five-and-a-half-pound cod, but also a rock full of perforations, to which x ■* attached six lively shellfish, each as big as one's fist, and somewhat resembling gigantic mussels. The shells of the fish were imbedded k> the rock, and aa soon as the rock was taken out of the water the fish craned their long necka out of the shells, Just as a turtle would. The neck* of the fish were unlike anything the fisherman had ever seen; they resembled slightly the yellow mouth of the lamprey eel. Their mouths were pointed and surmounted by a hard, brown colored beak, which they opened and shut precisely aa a robin does. The fish and their abode were bald together by means of the stout roota of a sea weed which had grown around them, and the whole weighed eight and a half pounds. The fisherman took the curiosity to the Denrer market, sad there it was placed on exhibition and attracted considerable attention. In the absence of a more scientific name, one 4>t the men connected with the market named the shellfish "sea Binaries."loyalty and patriotism Into the mat work- Let me sar a tew words to my fellow citis*as,aa to their doty, it Is ao Idle task to tie a dtiaea of this great RepuhUc, you tad each of you have a duty to perform of It you should bring all your Intelligence, for liy wisdom alone can you do your part correctly. If corruption grow in high places you A|f (o HiPf If yon suffer In your rights, it in becauso you are not active enough in the defence of right. We hear on the streets and read in the newspapers of the corruption of political parties. Have you ever asked yourself how It is made possible for corruption to And a place in yonr political organisation!*! Let me suggest to that the fault lies with the voters themselves. That it is because the individual voter holds his vote at so little value that be is ready to barter it away for money, selling his birthright for u mess of pottage. The right of citizenship Is n great privilege, a privilege that the citizens of no other natiou on the earth enjoys. Mow if I speak plaiu truths do not tie offeuded (or 1 am not making any personal allusions, but speaking of what I consider the evil of the day and it is that we niny guard against it that I mention it to-day. You are responsible for the corruption lu (siUtics, you sanction and permit the buying of votes to go on. and is it any wonder thnt yoti suffer' I charge you as you love liberty, as you love your country, stay this corrupting influence, and her to-<luy lieucnth the folds of this Hag renew again the pledge of faith and loyally to your conntry. and as out of great peril and suffering, death anil wounds, this liberty was preserved to you. Ouard the sacred trust as faithfully ns these members of the Orand Army of the Republic and their dei. J conirads fought to preserve it for you. Be vigilant, loyal, patriotic and true, then will the work of this day and of this school be of lusting benefit not uuly to you. but to your country. Now on behalf of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, who have been requested to present this Hag to this school and aa their representative for this occasion. I do with heartfelt pride in this Aug and the cause for which it is now utiout to t>e used, present It to the principal of this school, trusting that the lesson of lilierty, its starry folds symbolizes may ever find in your heart the same love and devotion it has won from the opprcssedof every land end nation. Thut the great love you liear in your hearts for your work may find that in the sacred precincts of your souls, a fortress is found over which the American flag waves the protector of all that you hold sacred in the land you live in and that each morning as its folds float to the brasses of heaven thore may go up from your heart a prayer for the cause it symbolizes. May you impart to the youue the same veneration for it so that associated with your labors a true and intelligent patriotism may be imparted to the young. Itomits. Cel.

To the 1'rinrifHtl ufthiM AYAool, ill patron* and mu Prltom eitam•: An the repressatatiTe of • body of loyal and patriotic citisens. who know uo creed or faith, save that of Uod and country, we have assembled to wiit in in tba work of presenting to thi* school the emblem of our common country. Standing on this the threeb-hold of an Institute of learning and feeling that close to all such Institutions, the flag of our country is a fitting symbol to float at its door, we have met to pay a tribute to both .the flag and the school. Having selected this the hiatal Day of American Independence upon which to present and float to the brewe of Heaven, the flag that shelters all Creeds and Faith, as well as all classes and conditions of men. It is with pleasure that we assemble and join in this imposing duty. For next to duty to (iod, stand our country, they nre both aids to a more perfect life. It Is still more gratifying on this the birthday of liberty, to participate in this pleasing duty, in recognition of the land that has made it possible for people of different creeds iind faith to dwell together in peace. Every citizen should feel proud of his country, and that out of discord harmony has come. We today in this land of ours see all nations, kindreds niul tongues mingling together in the same common cause. (Standing here beneath this starry emblem, we must realise that under its iolds we nre made nobler and grander men Mini women. If, then, it symbolises a nobler life anil elevutas mankind, it is most fitting that it should float over every Institution of learning in the land. Its principles should find ready and loyal exponents, so that our Governmental Institutions shall not fail but with higher intelligence, each and every one may bring the rich tribute of wisdom with which to discharge the duty of bis and her citizenship. Education Is calculated to tit the young for the practical duties of life. To those who shall take upon themselves the duty of imparting instruction to the young within these walls, should recognize that the boys and girls, that will be placed under their care will soon be called upon to take the place of the men and womeu of to-day; That they very soon will become the fathers and the mothers of a new generation of people; That with these new-duties, they must become the governors of the people, rulers of themselves, a part and parcel of the nation. If Free Institutions ore to be preserved, the boys' and girls you will have under your care, should be taught to venerate them, so that when the time comes for them to take their place in the ranksof the governing classes, they shall bring into their daily lifethat wisdom which will qualify them for the work of preserving the liberty and freedom these members of the. Grand Army of the Republic and their dead comrades, won and preserved by many a hard fought and bloody batttle. The soldtonof the War for Independence have won Eternal Fame. The record of their livee though written in blood, has worked out for yon and tor me a Freedom and Liberty that crowns us Kings and Queens. This liberty was won by deeds of daring and of valor, by privation and suffering, wounds and death. If it was so prised by the Loyal Patriot* of the past, if their deads have won for them the title of heroee, and inscribed their namn upon the scroll of Fame, will it not be equally grand to have it said that from the walls of this Institution vouag man *■"* women were sent out who will win to the future the title of Hero and heroine, tar light Is | the hattlee for the protection of hulMi* and Liberty in its larger and ■ iiije MUIS not in bloody battle, but la that rtViC wisdem;whieh settles all difference by the sublime law of Feace, baess upoa the generous law of humanity. That by wisdom they will be prepared to act out that Golden Rule, "do onto others as you would have them do unto you." It is to pay a just tribute to thoee principles that we meet to>day. Bymholiaed as they are by this lag, and under whoso sublime Ideas it has ben made I fur as to meet as we do. Then tot us here beneath the folds of this flag that shelter* your taith and liberty, as it does that of every one hem assembled, pledge anew our devotion to country, and may you sTsmfllfr your pledge by Imparting to the young that shallbo placed under your eare, §&&££££g awl in the hospital during the years of Car■iM and of battle, May you be as stoat In your reference for the flag as your order of ■Mere were when they came with their woman hearts and sacred faith to minister to the wants of the sick, wounded and dying In the time of war. If their work then vu full of noble, lovlng,loyal kindness, you can emphasise the work by teaching to the young the same spirit of love and devotion for this flag, for which so many of your taith gave Ufeilimb and health to protect. It was for thl. flag, theee stars asd stripes, that the Irish heart beat and fought with so much heroic valor through the war of the rebellion. It was beneath the folds of this flag that they found protection frogs oppression worse than slavery. Here each and every one feels themselves a King and Queen among their fellowmen, beneath the folds of this flag, all ranks and degrees, casts and conditions of msn and women flnd a common level gnd enjoy a common privilege. Here are all are equal before the tow then. Then as ydu appreciate the sacred privilege conferred upon you whether a native born citizen or a citizen by adoption, guard the trust repoeed in you with the same devotion, with which on so many hard fought, bloody battlefields, theee soldiers, members of the Grand Army of the Republic maintained it. No citisea. I care not what his faith or creed may be, his class or condition can evade the responsible duty of his citizenship. That duty becomes more imperative each day, as the complications of society become more intricate. The future Independence and happitess of the nation depends upon the faith, lhtelligence and patriotism, with which each man and woman does bis and her duty. The time has come when it Is not alone the men that are to be the Counsellors and advisors upon the affairs of the nation, but the wisdom and prudence of women must be recognized. In this you are to-day performing one act in recognition of that fact. You have erected this schoolhouse and tor its instructors, you select the good sisters, in whom you have faith: to tnem you confide the care and custody of your children, knowing that the lmpreesions and lessons here learned, .will go with them through all of their lives. Into the hands and hearts of these sisters, you trust that whiob is not only sacred to you, but is sacred to the future. The young who shall go to this school for instruction, must in a short time take their place among the fathers and mothers of the land, ana also assist in the work of governing It. Then is it not true that love of country and loyalty to our flag Is a part of the lesson of life to be imported to the young. Then let me urge upon you who have charge of the young, wlio shall come here for instruction, that you do not forget that the young must within a short time take a part in the work of governing. They must meet with all closest and conditions of people, and must share with others the same rights that they desire tor themselves, that in the performance of theee duties, they must bring an unselfish fc * - "r ■ > *W ' !r '• /*, ,":T ~ -:r- i ,: *i ' _ Lja : .
