BULL PUPS FOR HIRAM.

The shades Of night ", ~ falling fart,
When through the capital there passed.
a youth. who sung and strobe al,nig;
This was the burden Of his song:
Bull pups for Hiram" y
His brow was fair. his eyes flashed bright
When the White House loomed big in sight !;
Then. like q silver clarion rung,
Tie accents of wcll-known tongue:
Bull pups for Hiramr'
''You can't see Hiram" whispered Dent
Unless You pay for my consent.
That reckless youth Dents grip dcficl,
For to q string was safely tied
Bull pups for Hiram.
oh! stay" said BalcOck with wink
Come join our mess and take drink
A tear-tlrOp filled the young mans eye,
But still he answered with sigh:
Bull pups for Hiram!''
beware, unless the express is paid
Upon those pups! % thus Porter said.
This was all Porter spake that night =;
Tie youth passed singing from their sight:
Bull pups for Hiram!'
Judge Lewis Dent next morning found
Both youth and pups dead on the ground
Tied to pup, he plain could see
An express way-bill: sc. o. D.,
Bull PUPS for Hiram"
Near where JEFF. Davis horse eats hay
Upon the White House lawn they lay
That office seeker with no fee
For either Dent, and also the
Bull pups for Hiram.

LEFT BEHIND.-The power of music
and laughter was illustrated last Wednes-
evening A negro and an Indian boy be-
longing to the steamer California visited
Columbia Hall to see the Vivian Troupe,
and so interested did they become that
they appeared oblivious Of the fight of
time and tarried until the performance was
over, though they know their vessel was
to sail. When they left the hall, they
found the steamer had gone. Having no
money to pay their passage across the
country, they concluded to tramp it to
Portland, so started out Thursday morning.
They received a few dollars, enough to
supply them with food, from parties to
whom they made their condition known.
The probabilities are that they will receive
an allopathic dose of cussin," if not
something worse, from their captain when
they reach the Webfcot Land.

For WALLA-wALLA.-Mr. Vivian, on
his return to Portland, coutemplatcs the
organization Of small but good concert
troupe to make tour through Eastern
Washington aud Montana, and thence to
Salt Lake. He will certainly meet with
success 10 these counties, as his style of
performance will be something new to
them. Mile Gaugain will leave the CON-
pany at Portland and return to San Fran.

RA1LRoAD.-The Courier is informed
that Hallett has already distributed seven
miles of ties on the lower end of his part
Of the contract. The four miles beteen
the School Mission crossing and the cross
ing above McDouald's is all graded now
except one big cut Of about $4,000 cubic

A BENEFIT.-Mr. Vivian has honored
himself and his profession by rendering
the services Of his company to the Tum-
water amateurs, to compensate them for
the bad faith Of Mr.. Robinson, who agreed
to rcciprocate their favor when they ap-
peared at his benefit. This action is all
the more crcditable, inasmuch as Mr.. Wv
ian has nothing 10 do with the Robinson
Troupe, and he is influenced by no other
motive than to remove the stigma cast
upon his profession by the conduct of
those preceding him.

CALICO PARTY.-The "Calico Party"
given by the Washington Base Ball Club,
Tuesday evening, was we'll attended by the
elite of the city, and all entered into most
pcrsevcring and Jealous worship Of the
lively muse, Terpsichore. BY nine o'clock
the hall was we'll filed by fair women and
their escorts, and in half an hour after the
tripping had commenced. 1t being CAL
leo affair, that simple fabric was queen Of
toilets for the evening, and we must say
that the wingless angels looked to as much
advantage as if they had been enveloped
in the finest product Of the silk-worm.
There is an informally about calico par
ty that makes it extremely pleasant, for all
assumptions are left behind and all feel it
feel it to be more matter of pleasure than
display. The costumes worn were very
tasty, and varied from Dolly Warden to
a Sherman's patent double extension. At
"a. NJ the the party dispersed, every per-
son charmed with the evening of pleasure.

IMPROVEMENTS IN STEILACooM.-The
work Of improving the streets of Stella.
COON was commenced three weeks ago and
is still in progress. The improvement
consists in leveling the more elevated
streets and filing in the lower. The side.
walks are also being repaired. This labor
is indicative of enterprise and desire Of
the people to beautify their thriving town.

A BUSINESS DIRECroRY OF PUGET
Souxp.-We have been favored with ad.
vance sheets Of this valuable work, CON.
piled by J. Mortimer Murphy, Esq. and
to be published by Messrs. Murphy and
Harmed, a cursory examination of which
induces the belief that it will be the most
comprehensive work relating to the history,
the geography, and the natural resources
of Western Washington yet published.
The work is admirably arranged, embracing
about all that is necessary TO be known by
those contemplating immigration. The
subdivisions devoted to c!imatoIo-y com.
merce and manufactures, with suggestions
as to their further development; mineral
ogy geology fora, and an article on our
magnificent forests, are especially inter-
csting, both to our own people and those
seeking information upon those subjects.
Those arc followed by an exhaustive article
on the physical couformations of Western
Washington, and another descriptive of
the soil and its adaptabiliy to the various
products. The sheets before us comprise
sixty octave pages in small type, and will
include when complete probably forty
pages more. Mr.. Murphy has shown
himself to be the right man FOR the work,
and We predict that it will give unbouuded
satisfaction. 1t certainly will if, it pleascs
others as we'll as it does US. The work
will be ready for distribution about the
FIRST of next month.

injured by the fall.

dispute, but if the Transcript wants any
evidence Of the truth of its assertion, We

THE TopIc.-Sbepley and Brown are
becoming heroes. Luck seems to be in
their favor. They have been seen by
many persons, but always manage to escape
efforts made for their capture. We learn
from Mr.. Wallace, that week ago they
were on the Snohomish, and happened to
camp within earshot of the Sheriff and
posse in pursuit, and heard conversation
relating to their plan Of capture. Fore
warned as they were, they but awaited
the next move of the officers party, and
while they were away from camp, stole
two rifles, ammunition, blankets, provisions
and canoe and we're soon on their way re-
joicing. 1t is thought that the despera.
does will soon appear in this vicinity, as
they were seen above Freeport few days
ago.
