FIGHT BETWEEN GUESTS AND WATERS.

FIGHT BETWEEN GUESTS AND WATERS.
The united railway directors of Ger
many met recently at Berlin, and having
completed their deliberations, gave
themselves grand dinner. Long before
the guests had become merry with wine,
the walters exhibited an hilarity at vari-
ance with their natural occurrences, and
the waiting became somewhat slack, if
not grotesque. In short, the guests were
not seated many minutes when it became
but too patent that the whole waiting
personnel was dead drunk. But instead
of temporizing with the merry crew until
they had quietly been got away, one OF
the railway magnates, accustomed to rule,
violently demonstrated with one of the
worst offenders, and the latter answered
by terrific box on the directors ear.
This scandal, of course, was not to be
borne the whole company arose like
one man, crying for vengeance, while
the rebellious walters took their daring
colleagues part. Blows fell thick and
fast, and the skirmish was not termi
mated until posse Of constables came
to rescue the millionaires from the host
of walters.

Death in the Coal Mines.

The casualties in the mines of Schuyl-
kill County for nine months of 1869
were 81 killed and 81 injured, or at the
rate say of 72 killed for the year and 115
injured. This was an average of 67, 800
tons for each death, and 40, 400 for each
person wounded. In 1870 the casualties
in the three districts were as follows:

REVENGE. remember once says
novelist, hearing of a lady who had mar
ried out of sheer revenge. The right
man had omitted to propose or had pro-
posed to somebody else. Whereupon
she took q man who was simply ugly, old
and stupid. In advanced life she can
didly owned how it was that she had
made such a marriage. 1t was simply
done out of spite. She had sort OF idea
that the man she loved would be grieved
at her marriage, and she wanted to grieve
him. / believe after all, that she found
very tolerable husband

NEEDLE WoRK.-A very ingenious
method of performing needle work styled
photographic embroidery-has been in
vented by an English mechanic, and the
affair is altogether a curious device. A
number of jointed frames are employed,
each carrying tambouring or sewing ap-
paratus. They are so arranged and con-
nected together that the needles they
carry may be made to traverse in any
direction over the surfaces of the fabrics
to be embroidered, and that the move
ments of the several needles shall be
simultaneous and similar. The needle
frames are also connected with penta-
graph having tracing point capable OF
being led by the workman over the lines
of pattern which it is desired to copy,
and when this is done the needles will
each travel in and work along path
similar to that passed over by the trac.
ing point Thus each needle will pro-
duce embroidery resembling the pattern,
though not necessarily of the same size
usually it is preferred that the patterr
should be on somewhat larger scale
than the work that is accomplished by
| its means.

DON'T LIKE TIE SITUATIoN.-The
Vancouver Register is very much agitated
over the organization Of the Assembly.
1t assails, by implication the integrity Of
DR.. Smith, than whom more honest and
consistent party man does not sit in the
Legislature. The assertion of the Register
that Hon. Joseph Foster is an unprinci-
Piled scrub and political bagabond," is a
decided compliment to the countries OF
King and Kitsap, which elected him, and
which cast Republican majority Of lou
votes. Such warfare is nuts for 10.

REPORTS OF TIE TERRITORIAL OFF
cERs.-Thc Librarians Report is volu-
minous, embracing the titles of all the
volumes on the shelves, numbering some
1000. The Trcasurer's Report embraces
the items of receipt and expenditure, an
aggregate Of which we published last week
from the Governors Message. The most
observable Of these arc the incidental ex-
pensc account, salary and percentage.
Salary Of Territorial Auditor and rent"
is sandwiched in four or five times on eve
ny page, and the amount expended for
postage stamps probably exceeds that of
any Federal officer in the Territory. We
ask that these accounts be closely scrutin.
lied by the Assembly, and that when they
elect new officers, as they will do in a few
days, that they select men with the rcquis-
lite ability, and support them by the neces.
sary legislation, to avert the impending
crisis in our Territorial finances.

II Lord Howe Eliminates in the last
transcript. against the municipal author
tiles, for various fancied grievances. A
public-spirited citizen he is, truly, to build
a shanty over the spring which supplied
many of our citizens with wholesome wa.
ter, and thus compel them to patronize the
Water Company, of which he is princi-
pal stakeholder. We know of but one
man in the community who would have
been guilty of such an act.

TUMwATER FIRMs-During casual
visit to our sister-town last Monday, we
visited the furniture mandatory of ID
Barnbart, Esq, and found him amply sup
piled with facilities for prosecuting his bu-
sincss with profit to himself and satistac-
ton to his patrons. His machinery is all
run by water power from tho lower falls,
and it is almost complete in its appoint
nents. Above the store of Mr.. Crosby is
the furniture warc-room, where VIC OBJ
served several neat and substantial cham
Der sets, the painting, staining, vanishing,
ETC., being executed by that real artist in
his line, Mr. Murray. Mr.. Darnhart has
likewise opened salesroom on Main street,
in this place, where supply of his wares
is constantly kept.
We also visited the sash and door facto.
ny of Messrs. Leonard & Cooper, who have
just purchased the interest of their former
partner, c. Crosby, Jr., and propose to in
crease their capacity for the manufacture
of articles in their line. Their machinery
is all of the latest and most approved pat
ern, and turns out work that cannot be
excelled anywhere.
Mr.. Coon, the miller, was at his post as
usual, full of business, and happy in the
consciousness of good time coming.

t. The Register learns that Selucious
Garfelde will return to the Territory in a
few weeks, to look after his interests. 1t
is about time they were looked after, for
things have been going at "odds and
ends" for several months past, and the
famous band organized by Mr.. Beach have
blown all their wind to sustain his sinking
cause. Cherokee Smith, the same paper
announces, has deserted the valiant chief
tain, and this alone we regard as fatal
blow to his future prospects.

A New Book on SAw-MlILING-Wc
learn from the Kalama Beacon that Mr.. s.
b. Abbott, of this place, designs going
East for the purpose of publishing a book
upon the construction and management of
sawmills. Mr. Abbott is the man who
constructed the steam sawmill ut st.
llelen's, Oregon; and tho large mills Of
Knapp e. Go. at CemcntvilIc, in this Ter
ritory-the latter being the largest and
best mill on the Columbia river. The
Beacon further says: Mr.. \. is in every
sense Of the term thoroughly practical
man in every thing he undertakes, aud
whose energy and determination are al
most unlimited. Mr. Abbott also designs
publishing book on the subject of Arch.
lecture. lie it an excellent mechanic, as
some of the finest residences in Olympia,
constructed under his supervision, album.
dainty testify. We wish Mr.. Abbott sue.
cess in his designs Of authorship, and
believe that his works will be valuable
contributions to the practical sciences" In
all Of which we heartily concur.

UsuRY LAVA bill passed the House
afew days ago, fixing the rate Of Interest

extended allusion to its provisions. We
cannot but believe that its effect will be to
restrain men of moderate means from Ell.

all such business into the hands Of capital
lists aud bankers. We ask the members OF

oughly when it is taken up for action.

RIVER NAvIGATIoN-Thc Kalama
Beacon devotes much space in every issue
to showing up the disadvantages Of Port
land, as a commercial emporium. This is
all very WE'LL because undoubtedly the
truth is told when the Beacon simply
quotes from the local columns of its Port
land exchanges to substantiate its position.
But how much better off is Kalama, as
far as seaport navigation is concerned.
The great irremcliablc obstruction is the
Columbia Bar. The dangers attending it
are the dread Of all navigators compelled
to enter the rivers Portland by persistent
scratching may keep tolerably passable
channel open, which may answer the pur-
poses of transportation until the railroad is
complsted to the Sound, and this is all it is
wise for her to expect. Kalama will be
the depot for such vessels as may prefer
the horrors of the bar to fine roadstead
with plenty Of sea room.
