hcuse-linings and wallpaper. Our town has
been destitute of these articles for several
months, and the arrival of new goods at Ro-
senbaum's was the signal for general STAN
pede in that direction, where, in spite of the
diligence of the proprietor and five or six
clerks, matters were quite confused in tie
general struggle for desirable patterns Of

mea8ure-should it become law-to all the
gold and silver producing States and Terri
tories. If any tax al all would be bearable,
it would be a tax in the form Of a license,
and the license should protect the holder in
the possession of his claim, without the ex-
penss of needless representation. Such a
tax would be an advantage ratheftha det7

CONFESS and the Oregon Senators will sue
coed in cutting it down to7the nett, instead Of
gross proceeds. In many instances in all
new mines, where Development is expensive,
the gross proceeds are not equal to the ex-
penditures, and to be obliged to pay per
cent. of those proceeds before paying ex-.
penses, is out Of all reason, is bad policy and

We are indebted to Geo. Gallagher Esq, for

Sound.
Section 1st defining the districts, assigns
tho counties Of Pierce, King, Kitsap, Jefferson
Claim, Whatcom, Island, and Snohomish "a
the Third District.
Sec I'd, which prescribes the times and places
Of holding the Courts, says the terms Of the

and the first Monday Of September, and shall

to continue for two weeks, Unless sooner ad
journcd; and at Steilacoom on the third Mon.
day Of May and first Monday Of November o.

AGULLIBLE ITEMIzER.

Three weeks ago, IN common with other
journals published on the Sound, we contra.
dleted the reported murder Of Mr.. q. A. Meigs
Of Port Madison, to which the over.industrious
items man Of the Victoria Chronicle gave cur.
rency. Notwithstanding the contradiction,
however, the jackanapes persists in the truth
Of his statement, and will have Mr.. Meigs muir
dered whether or no. A subsequent issue oI
that journal publishes what It terms a confr.
nation Of the Hrst report; and SEQ what a
tragical affair Il makes Of the supposed event
We are sorry to have Il to state that the report
Of the murder Of Mr. Meigs at Port Madison,
Is fully confirmed by the arrival Of the Nara.
0anSeit Shaw 6rst shot Meigs through the
arm, and said "1f you advance step l will
kill you." Meigs took the fatal forward step,
and Shaw, true to bis threat, sent death. deal
ing messenger through the unfortunate mans
heart. The news Of Mr.. Meigs' death caused
great sorrow on Puget Sound, where he has re.
sided for Zen years.
The writer Of this and Che preceding para.
graphs relative 10 the same event should receive
the hat for the possession Of the greatest amount
Of gullibilitY. According to the same credu.
lcus individual, there lave been q score or
more Of murders committed on Puget Sound
within the past few months, when In reality
there has been but one that has come to our
knowledge for upwards Of twelvemonth.
Having justly earned reputation for gullibiIity,
there would seem to be . concerted plan on
part Of the wags to impose upon the Chronicle.
II u ever possessed q character for reliability
or truthfGlness II certainly has been entitled
to but little Of late.
We hero take occasion to say that such 70.

10 mere sport, oilen prove the source Of serious
trouble and annoyance. In this instance, we
are informed, Mr.. Msigs sustained not only
considerable expense and trouble 10 contradict.

SLEEP.-Death from old age has been
compared to falling asleep, never 10 awaken
again in this world and hence the transit
tiOn is easy to lucid consideration Of the
phenOmena Of sleep, "nature's soft nurse" |"
30 necessary to our existence. Death or
madness must be the result Of lOng-con-
tinued absence Of this great restorer; 80
felt and said Byron in his last illness. Sir
Benjamin Brodie mentions the case Of q
gentleman who, from intense anxiety, passed
SIX entire duys without sleep. At the end
Of this time he became affected with illu.
sions Of such nature that IL was necessary
to place him in confinement. After some
time he recovered perfectly. He had
nsver shown any signs Of mental derange-
ment before, nor had any one Of his family,
and he has never been similarly affected
since. Those who have been subjected 10
cruel tortures have declared that the most
intolerable was the deprivation Of sleep
and as this was one Of the modes Of treat
ing the unhappy old women who fell into
the hands Of the witch-fndef, il may ac-
count for some Of their illusions, and the
crazy confessions they made. The sick.
nurse frequently has recourse 10 the stfm-
ulants, which indeed remove for time the
uneasiness and languor occasioned by the
want Of sleep. But the temporary relief
is dearly purchased, and those who have
recourse 70 alcohol on such occasions, should
know that u docs not create nervous power,
but enables the recipient to use up that
which Is left, living him more in need Ot
rest than ever, when the stimulus has ceased
to act.
