Trade during the week has been fair
Among our most enterprising firms is
that of Booth. Foss & Borst, who are
shipping Bacon, Hams, etc., direct from
Kansas City. In purchasing from first
hands for cash they can uudersell all
others in their line. Their business is
rapidly increasing.
We notice marked improvement in
our wholesale Liquor trade, many of the
retail dealers purchasing here instead OF
ordering from travelling Agents as here
tofore. Our wholesale liquor dealers.
J.R. Robbins, Crawford Il Harrington,
Stone & Burnett and Schwabacher Bros.
& Co., keep on hand large and well Sc
lected stocks bough: at the lowest cash
prices, and can afford to sell at lower
rates than houses employing travelling
statesmen at heavy expense.
The Seattle Coal Company shipped
66O tons of coal during the week per
bark Scotland.
The reported progress of the N. p. r.
r. is most cheering, track laying is pro-
crossing at the rate of two miles per
day in Dacota. tits expected that the 60
miles from Kalama will be completed
and cars running by the first of Novam-
Der, and by the first of january next
SIT miles of the main line will be in
operation from Duluth Minn.
The Puget Sound Banking Company
have completed arrangements for the
drawing of Bills of Exchange on the
London House of Jay Cooke, McCul-
lough & Co., available all over Ireland
and the Continent. This will be found to
be great convenience for persons on
the Sound wishing to send money home
to their friends in the old country.

NORTH CAROLINA ELEcTIoN.-It is II Nv
certain that the supporters Of Greeley
and Brown have elected five Of the
eight members of Congress, and the
Legislature by majority OF 20 on joint
ballot. The Grant party claim the elec-
ton of their candidate for Governor
by 1,5O0 majority, but the election will
be contested before the Legislature on the
ground of notorious fraud in the re-
tu,ns. The Republican majority in the
State at last preceding election was
9,345. We see the GRANTEES are firing
guns over the result. They are minute
guns at funeral.

Port Townsend Correspon.
dence.

PORT TOWNSEND, August 10. 1875.
A row occurred ON board the ship j.
3. Bell. lying in port on Friday last.
The crew had been shipped for a voyage
to China. When the order was given
to weigh anchor, some of them refused
to obey. In attempting to enforce the
order the first mate was shot through
the left breast and the second mate was
shot through the hand. Neither of the
wounds are very serious. The ship
sailel on Monday. But three of the
crew were detained-the mate and the
carpenter as witnesses, and the sailor
charged with the shooting whose name
is William Tierney. Port Townsend
whiskey was tie cause of the muss.
The shipping agents are honorably ex-
cnorated from any completely in the
affair.
A sa'ute was fred here on the arrival
of the propeller California, in honor of
Pnrser Goodhue, who had just been
married at Victoria.
Six miles of telegraph poles have been
put up, and Mr.. Sweeny, the Superin-
tendent. is pushing the work as fast as
possible. The machinery for six offices,
and the wire and cable for the entir e
line from here to Seattle, have been Or
dered, and is safe to predict that the en-
nre line will be ompleted by the mid
die If October next.

Chinese suspension Bridges.

The most remarkable evidence of the
mechanical science and skill of the
Chinese at an early periods to be found
in their suspension bridges, the inven.
ton of which is assigned to the Han
dynasty. According to the
testimony of all their historical and
geographical writers, Sangleang. the
commander of the army Kaon tsoo, the
first of the Hans, undertook and COM
pleted the formation of roads through
the mountainous province of Shensi to
the west of the capital. Hitherto its
lofty hills and deep valleys had rem
dered a communication difficult and
circuitous. With a body of 100000 Ia
borers he cut passages over the noun
tains, throwing the removed soil into the
valleys, and where this wa not sufh-
Gent to raise the road to the right height
he constructed bridges which rested on
pillars or abutments. In another place
he conceived and accomplished the
daring project of ~suspending a bridge
from n mountain to another across a
deep chasm. These bridges, which are
called by the Chinese writer's, very ap-
propriately, flying bridges, and repre-
sented to be numerous at the present
day, are sometimes so high that they
canno be traversed without alarm.
One still existing in Shensi stretches
400 feet from mountain to mountain,
over a chasm 500 feet deep. Most of
these flying bridges are so wide
that four horsemen can ride on them
abreast, and balustrades are placed on
each side to protect travellers. 1t is by
no means improbable las M. Fauthier
~suggests) that as the missionaries in
China made known the fact more than a
century and a half ago the Chinese had
suspension bridges, and that many of
them were made of iron, the hint may
have been taken from these for similar
constructions by European engineers.
