A WoMAN's DESCRIPTION OF ALAsKA.-A
lady who was formerly resident of Syracuse,
New York, writes from Sitka, Alaska as fol-
lows:
The last summer has been remarkably pleasant
and dry; we had seventeen days of pleasant
weather, not broken by q single shower; some
thing Sltka could not boast of before. Talk of
sunsets, | never saw anything so splendid.
Italy, with all her balmy airs and azure skies,
cannot equal Sitka in sunsets. | enjoy our nice
harbor ever so much. Could you see me rowing
about in my little canoe among the islands
There are more than sixty of them in the har-
bor), you would have good laugh. A row
about our harbor is one of our greatest delights
when the weather is favorable. The water is too
cold for bathing, but on a few warm days salt
water bath was refreshing
In time the Indians will be a,great help to the
country. My husband employs quite number
| in the fisheries, and he likes them better for
| la0orers than the Russians. They have had very
| good luck fishing this season. They will have
about a thousand barrels of salmon The fish
ing season is now nearly over. The great salmon
catch lasts about four months, although at other
| times the Indians bring into town great many
| fish caught with hook and line. Whatever else
| it may lack, Sitka has an abundance of wild
| game, so that we had plenty TO eat even before
| we were in receipt of regular supplies of fruit
| ETC., from Portland. The venison now is deli.
| clous, and also the prairie chickens The young
ones OF the latter are like young spring chickens
We have no service here, nothing but
| Sabbath school, mostly attended by Russians
| The Russians sometimes have service twice a
week. Their Sabbath comes on our Saturday
| They do not have seats, but stand or kneel
throughout the service. It must be very tedions
as there is great deal of bowling and crossing
and about every FIVE minutes they bring their
| heads to the floor.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY as, 1871,

The new government of France has been
formally recognized by the United States This
is eminently proper, for it represents the French
people, 1t is provisional government, but
it has authority to speak for the nation, and
will be succeeded by a regularly organized gov
ernment such as the nation itself may see nit TO
establish. Our government recognized the self
appointed COMMITTEE of defence" as a "repub-
lic"; but it has, doubtless, discovered that it
recognized" a good deal more than actually
existed. There was no republic, and it has
never been in the power of that committee TO
organize one They have not dared TO appeal
to the people, by holding an election,
because they feared defeat. They have
not sought or wished even TO modify
the despotic machinery of centralism, by
whi2h the French people have been so COM
pletely deprived CT selt-gove:nment 1t was too
convenient to be discarded, too well adapted TO
sustain the minority controlling it against the
majority subjected to its operation. 1t does not
promote the influence honor, or glory OF repub-
can institutions to talk of such an organization
as republic" Whether those now in power
BY vote of the national assembly, will organize
liberty in the provinces and give the people free
institutions, remains to be seen. They represent
France, and therear indications that France pre-
fers the 0rleanists to a republic. This prefer
enee shows bad taste and wrong principle; per-
haps it shows, also, the highest political aspira-
ton of which great majority of the French
people are, just now, capable.

A noteworthy case has been on trial in New
York. A lady sued the noted women, Wood
hull & ClaiIn, to recover money which she had
placed in their hands for investment. She is a
goyeruness who has contrived to save $500; and
knowing that Woodruff & Clafin were brokers,
went to them for aid in the matter OF investing
it properly. They claim in court, that she
was willing to risk it in speculation, and that
nearly all of it had been lost There was con-
siderable testimony by other persons, and
there were arguments of lawyers, after which
the jury found verdict for the plaintiff. The
lady who sued the brokers, is quite sure
that they ale capable of teaching even the
"hesthen Chinee." What they think of her
can be imagined. But, the point con-
nected with this trial, which seems
most worthy of attention, is the phi
losophy of life attributed to Mrs. Woodruff.
When the plaintiff went TO her for counsel, it is
said, "Mrs. Woodruff advised her that if she
had $500, she need do no more work." and
added, Gust sit down here and speculate; and
the Speculation" just then in hand was the
game of pool" "Do no more work; just sit
down here and srecuate!" Ii Mrs. Victoria
Woodruff inculcates this philosophy, IN dealing
with her clients, it may safely be used to in
terpret her own character, and determine the
value of her influence. But, in many minds,
she has already been interpreted, by means of
the amazing force with which she blows her own
frumnet

there was about two hundred pounds of bear
sailed down in barrel. 1t was to this sailed
bear to which Tena had alluded.
Salted bear is not quite so good 1t is inclined
TO be hard, and the salt takes the "gaminess"
out oft But with relief of prairie chickens, a
Sunday mess of hout, the portable bit of ocean
that lies enwrapt in Goldfish, and the perspective
sausages from Ichabod, we found occasional
sailed bear very endurable, and never shall for
give Tena the tone of reproach with which she
alluded to it..

"THE CABLE SCREW WIRE GOODS are giving
great satisfaction, Manufacturers who were fortu-
nate enough to adopt this machine some months
ago, are getting ready market for their goods.
There is real merit in this Cable Screw Wire Fast

fail to find it out in time"
This endorsement, from the Boston Commercial

Woodruff & CLAFL1N IN CoURT.-Annie
L. Swindal brought suit yesterday in the ma
rne court against Woodruff & Clafiu, and
stated her case as follows She had been a
governess, and had saved little money. At
tracted by the reputation of defendants, she
went to their banking office and said she had
some $780, which she wanted to invest to the
best advantage; that thereupon Mrs. Woodruff
told her that if she had any money at all she
need do no more work, and that they would in
vest it in gold for her; she objected to riskiug
it, when the defendants promised to guarantee
her from all loss. The money was handed over,
and in few weeks she was informed that there
was but SIS left to her credit. She further
charged that similar transaction took place be-
tween the defendants and another person, whom
they paid.
Mrs. Woodruff testified that the plaintiff came
to her stranger, and almost begged her to take
the money. Mrs. w. warned her of the great
risk, and advised her, unless she thoroughly I'M
derstood Wall street, not to so into speculation,
but finally told her if she was woman enough
to bear loss if it came, she would take her
money. Verdict for the plaintiff for S35S.54.-

THE ATLANTIC CABLEs.-A correspondent
of the New York Evening Post writes from New
foundland:
The last hope of repairing the Atlantic cables,
for this season, has vanished. During her last
attempt the Robert Lowe met heavy northern
ice and had her bow stove in. She is now re-
pairing, and will return to England this week.
1t would be hopeless to renew the attempt
sooner than the month of June. The whole
matter has been sadly bungled. The steamer
was not dispatched early enough after the first
cable was injured, so that the season for such
Cd rations was gone before her arrival here.
Worst of all, matter of such international i'm.
portance was intrusted to incompetent hands,
and officers of the admiralty employed With
ice and stormy weather to battle against they
they had no chance of success. Let us hone the
French cable will hold out till June. Then d
new cable will have to be laid down from the
spot where the injury occurred, about siXty-five
miles from Hearts Content, so as 10 clear the
rocky ledge which evidently has been the cause
of the mischief Should this be found imprac-
ticable, cable as heavy as the shore end now is
will be needed over the dangerous spot, so as to
hold on steadily, and prevent chatting
tits, evidently, not such an easy, simple mat
ter as we once supposed, to maintain Geographic
communication across the Atlantic The great
er necessity therefore for the shortest route by
steamers-which is from Valentia TO st. Johns
thence railway to st. Georges bay, across the
island and steamer to Bay Chaleur. Mails and
passengers from London would reach New York
in six or seven days by this route; while the risk
and discomfort of the voyage would be reduced
TO a minimum. Swift steamers, carrying only
passengers and mails, would make the run from
here to Valentia, in ireland, in four and half
or five days. The distance is hut 1000 miles.
