LABOR WELL PAID.-There Is no coun.
try in the world where labor is 50 well paid
as in the United States at the present time.
The demand for skilled labor is so great as
in measure to defeat the requirements Of
the armies in the field, and competition
arises between the employers and the Gov
ernment for the possession Of this labor.
States and cities, to induce volunteering to
raise their required quota, have to increase
the amount Of the bounties, and employers,
to retain their men, have to add % the
amount Of their wages. These high prices
and bounties are, however, not only attract
ing large numbers Of emigrants from Eu-
rope, butthe British Provinces are sending
quite large portion Of their labOring pop
ulatiOn to this country. In the army or in
the workshop, they win find their services
adequately paid. I

DISMISSAL OF MAJ. G. o. HALLER.-
We have received from Maj. Hallcr, long
resident Of and favorably known on Pu-
get Sound, cory of the defence published
by him on the occasion of his late dismissal
from the military service Of the United
States. The disloyal sentiment which he
is charged with uttering, and to which he
owes his dismissal, is the following
@Here's to Southern Confederacy, and q
Northern one during the administration Of
Lincoln" This he denies having uttered,
and adduces ample evidence to sustain him
in his denial. Lieut.. c. H. Wells, the
person charging him with using the Lam
guage quoted, the Major alleges, has re.
Gently been .discharged from an insane
asylum, and still continues of unsound
mind. A perusal Of his defence can
scarcely fail to satisfy every unprejudiced
mind Of bis innocence Of the charge pre-
ferred. Repeated efforts, directly and in
directly made, failed to procure him hear
ing at the War Department, and he has
therefore published his defence in PAM
phlet form, for circulation among his per-
sOnal friends, with whom he evidently de-
sires to stand well as loyal citizen. He
intimates an intention Of soon returning to
this Territory.

FEMALE CoMPosITORs.--In q late dis.
cussion of the subject Of employing females
to set type, the editor Of Napa Call pa
per said: "We have two daughters, and
intend, if they live to proper age, to make
them both accomplished compositors. A
liberal course of types will teach them many
things better worth knowing than how to
murder French or torture piano. If they
have any brains, they will be proud of be.
ing both independent and useful; if uufor-
tunately they have not, we can rsstore them
to the customary employment Of miss.donl
working red-wosted dogs, chattering
nonsense and spelling water cOlors." Type.
setting is IN occupation we'll calculated for
females, is not 50 unhealthy or laborious as
sewing or washing clothes, and is Of ma
ture to elevate and instruct the mind be.
yond any employment now followed by fe-
males. There is no reason why it should
not be moro universally adopted by them
than it is at present. Much Of the com.
position in the New England States is now
performed by females; its general adoption
by them in the larger cities Of the North
would tend greatly to ameliorate their con-
dition. We decidedly favor their introduc-
ton as printers.

MAxIMILIAS.-Atlast dates, (l9th ult.)
this tool Of Napoleon's was in London, on
his way to Mexico. He Is more To- be- pit
led than envied; for Il ever monarch was
unfortunate in the character Of the people
he ruled, Maximilian viii prove so in his
attempted government Of the Mexicans.
If he is not assnsinated within twelve
month, it will be because he is too cautious
70 expose himself. We greatly mistake
tho spirit Of the Mexican people if they
tolerate him a day longer than they are
forced to.

PUGET SOUND ITEMS.

Under the above head the San Francisco
Bulletin publishes the following:
From private correspondence received in
this city from Washington, We extract the
following items Of news relating to Puget
Sound:
Government has bought the new steam
er George S. Wright, now at Puget Sound,
to be used as revenue cutter in that vi
cinity.
"The sale Of lots at Port Angeles is to
take place on the first Wednesday in May,
the same to be made by auction.
at is determined on by Government to
make contracts for delivery of Atlantic and
Pacific coast mails at Port Angeles three
times per month, the same to be carried to
other ports on the Sound by the George s.
WrigIt."
Taking it for granted that the above is
correct, though it yet lacks confirmation,
this news must prove in the highest degree
gratifying to our, citizens on the Sound.
An ocean mail service is a want seriously
felt here since its suspension, some three or
four years since. The George s. Wright
is susceptible0f conversion into very sn-
perior revenue cutter, and, if placed in the
mail service, (Which we equestion) will doubt
less discharge that duty satisfactorily. But
we do not fully credit these announce
ments.

THE GERMAN IMBROaLIo.

All know that the Danes, Germans and
Austrians are ut war, while but few are ac-
quainted with the causes leading to the
war. The following brief statement Of
the difficulty will doubtless enlighten many
who are now in the dark. The death of King
Frederick VII, of Denmark, which oc.
CURED on Nov. 10Th, 1868, brought on u
crisis in the Schleswig. HOlstein question.
The two duchics Of Schleswig and Holstein
have never been integral parts Of Den
mark, but they were independent duchies,
whose dukes happened to be at the same
time kings Of Denmark. In Denmark
proper, the crown Of the monarchy was
transmissible to females; in the two duchies
the Salic law prevailed, according to which
the crown can only descend to heirs male.
In consequence Of this difference of the
law Of succession, the connection Of the
two duchies with Denmark had to cease
with the death Of King Frederick the
Prince of Augustenburg being the lawful
successor in the two duchies, and another
relative in Denmark. In order, however,
to secure the integrity Of the Danish mon-
archy, Conference Of the great Powers Of
Europe, held at London in 1852, and in
which England, France, Russia, Austria,
Prussia and Sweden took part, undertook
to change the law Of succession both in
Denmark proper and in the duchics, desig-
mating Prince Christian, the father of the
Princess Of Wales and Of the new King Of
Greece, as entitled to succession for the
whole monarchy. On the death of King
Frederick, the Prince Of Augustenburg
claimed the succession in the two duchics,
on the ground that the Conference Of Lon
don was not authorized to dispose Of his
rights and the privileges Of the people Of
the two duchies-that neither the Diets Of
the duchies nor the Federal Diet of Ger
m,ny had given their consent to the proto-
col OF 1897, and that 1t was therefore ut
terly invalid. The claims Of the Prince
were at once recognized by a number Of
the German Princes, and sustained by the
German people generally.
The duchy Of Holstein Is exclusively in
habited by Germans, and is part Of the
German Confederacy. In Schleswig about
145,0O0 inhabitauts are speaking German,
$4,000 Friesian, $4,000 Danish, and 49,.
900 Danish and German. schleswig does
not belong to the German Confederacy, but
by virtue Of treaties is connected with Hol-
stein. The two duchies (togcther with the
duchy Of Lauenburg) have population Of
l,004,473 souls, while Denmark proper
has 1,6O0,55l.

vIcroR SMITH VS.. JUDGE HEwrTT.-
Victor Smith, says Washington letter
writer, has fled with the U. s. Attorney
General an application for the removal Of
Chief Justice Hewitt. The charges upon
which this application is based are that he
(Judge HEWITT has, in several instances,
decided against the United States in cases
brought before him; one Of the instances
being when be decided in favor Of one
Stanton, who brought an action against
Victor Smith, who had entered upon the
elaimed premises Of Stanton, at Port An
gcles. The charge says that Stanton is a
disloyal man. 5

A SuBTEHRANEAN HUNT.-An extra
ordinary battue has just taken place in the
sewers Of Paris. Taking advantage of the
frost, which drives this particular game into
covert, the owner invited . Christmas party
to partake Of the sport Of rat killing All
the great sewers were driven in one direc-
ton till llnillionso Of rats, which foughtamoug
themselves Ike tigers as they were hunted
along, were collected in the large drain
by the bridge Of Asnieres. Forty dogs
were then let down into the sewers, and af.
ter fight which lasted As minutes, and in
which four dogs were killed and some blind
ed, no less than 10000 rats were dis
patched. l
UTAH.-ASalt Lake lettersays that never
since Utah was added TO the domains Of our
venerable Uncle Samuel did the City Of
Saints contain such a huge pile Of "tran-
sient residents as now. The gentle popu-
lation have got fearful dose Of the dcvel-
Opmcnt mania; that is, they have got the
metal fever, and they are daily discov-
ering gold mines, lead mines, iron mines,
coal mines and mares nests.
NE0RoEs AT RoME.-The Rome cores
pondent Of the London Times says that at
the last annual Academia Poliglotta" Of
the great Catholic College Of the Props-
ganda, the youths who carried of the palm
were two negroes, rejoicing in the names Of
VIM. Samba aud John Provost. Their de-
livery and action were wonderful, and called
forth thmdersof applause even mi church.
CATHOLIC BrsHoPs OPPOSING THE
FESIANs.-Bishop Duggan, Of Chicago,
has followed the example Of Bishop Wood,
of Philadelphia, in dcnouncing the Fenian
brotherhood, and directing true Catholics
to have nothing TO do with the organiza-
ton. 900
The Mexican shepherd Of Corliss was
found dead not far from his masters house
in Santa Barbara county, on the 22d Of Feb
ruary, The circumstance created intense
excitement, as he had lived many years in
the county, and was well known.

bic human and other carcasscs, torn to
shreds by vultures, floating with every turn

park is full Of iilth-where cesspOols, grave
yards, dung-heaps, foul drains and open
sewers, pollute by pcreolation the drinking
water, andcontaminate by deleterious gasses
the pure air of heaven. This brings to
mind the quaudary Of the school directors
in certain rural district, where a vicious
Juvenile collected together a pile Of dead
cats almost as large as the schOolhouse, and
tho question arose as to whether they should
remove the schoOlhOuse or the dead cats.
