For moment Mr. Russell Peterman was
Mortified. But man with a situation is
very different from man in need Of one. So
he submitted with good grace. Uncle John
had astonishing powers Of persuasion. He
brought Mr.. Harrison Blake along with him,
and even gave him formal introduction.
Uncle John was master of the situation, and
monarch of all he surveyed at supper. Mr..
Russell Peterman felt very insignificant
alongside Uncle John, No man was more
capable Of carrying on with high hand than
Uncle John, and Oh this occasion he was 10
his glory. After supper they all returned to
the parlor.
Russell Peterman began to be very much
ashamed OF the mean part he had been play
ing. He saw that he had been entirely out.
witted by Uncle Johns strategy. Like all
such men he wished to do something to COW
err up his duplicity; smooth it over as much
as possible. Thinking it might Aattcr the
young man to tell him how much his daugh-
ter thought of him, he began =

You great lunatic, muttered Uncle John
10 whisper, hitting him such a tremendous
thump in the ribs that he stopped in the mid
die Of word. You are as anxious to over
do the thing now as you have all along
been to under do it. Then he spoke aloud
Come with me into the library, while Cha.
ra takes trip to Europe.
So saying Uncle John laughed great
comical laugh, thrust his arm into his broth
er's, and walked off with him.
Destiny had a clear track then and plOn-
ty Of steam to carry the train.
II was six years after this, that Uncle
John trotted his little pet, Clara Blake, on
his knee and declared il was her destiny to
be even moro beautiful than her mother.
Russell Peterman did not find the young
man situation after all. The situation on
the contrary found Russell Peterman much
to his shame and modification.
! Nevertheless, after the first shock he en-.
joyod the situation immensely. In his es-
timatiOn it paid to have his only daughter
the wife of one Of the most successful men
in Boston.
Russell Peterman had learned lesson.
He had learned that what has got to be
must be-. He had also learned that decep-
ton is the poorest of all weapons to use in
warding off destiny.
Reader, do you believe in destiny? If
you do not pity you. Yet destiny is the
best of all things to believe in. No one has
ever been brought to shame trusting destiny.

That ILLUMINATIoN.-TheH HteliJencer
in speaking of the Democratic celebra-
ton in this city, said: "Among the
buildings brilliantly illuminated on that
occasion, was the private residence of
Mr.. Brown. of the DISPATCH" This
item having gone the rounds of the pa
pers to show our sympathy with a par
ty victory, it may be as we'll to say that
our private residence was not illuminas
ted on that occasion; that we have TAX
en- no part in party politics for several
years past, or in any demonstration of
rejoicing at party victories. If the late
Democratic Victories prove to be of ma
terlal advantage to the country, we will
then rejoice: but not till we see some of
the beneficial effects. for we have lost
all faith in party triumphs.
A house which was being prepared
for our residence, and occupied by son
of the editor, was illuminated by a
youth bearing our name, who believes
in Democratic victories. We had no
part or lot in the matter.

The PRoPELLEE CALIFORNIA IN THE
RECENT SToRM.-The Portland Oregonian
gives the following particulars of the
recent passage of tho propelleri Cali
foruia from these waters to Columbia
River:
"About II o'clock on Monday night
the steamer California arrived here from
Sitka and Way ports. The steamer was
overdue several days when she arrived,
and in consequence of the boisterous
weather at sea some slight appreheu-
sions were experienced in regard to the
safety Of the vessel. 1t turns out that
the occasion of the steamers detention
was the extremely rough weather she
experienced. Since the California has
been running on the northern coast, she
has never before encountered such a
rough gale as was experienced on the
passage to this port. While on the way
AAOA1 AN0AhAAAO " klIo uOuLA Vi tuE NOl-
umbia, a terrible storm was encountered
whichslasted for several days and nights
with unabated severity. The gale COM
menced on Friday and continued until
Sunday. Wind and waves contended
for the mastery, and at times it seemed
as if the laboring vessel would not wea-
ther the storm. At times the sea ran
so high as to sweep the decks. 1t be-
came necessary to fasten down securely
the forwar matches, and keep the steer
age passengers below for two days.
Large quantities of water found its way
into the hold through the matches, and
to be pumped out at considerable labor.
For long time the.prospects of wealth
ering the gale seemed very gloomy; but
the gallant steamer rode through the
Storm in safety, and arrived off the Tar
soon after the storm subsided. Fortu
nately the vessel was loaded with coal
and oil which could not be damaged by
the water. After the storm abated, the
steamer entered the river and reached
her destination without further danger
or detention. Before sailing, however,
tho California will doubtless undergo
some repairs.

The MAILS We cannot understand
why it is that the Post Office Depart
ment of Washington. in arranging mail
facilities under the laws, discriminates
against the people of this portion Of
Puget Sound to a degree unparalleled
in the history of that branch of the
Government. The. laws provide for a
daily mail between Portland and San
Francisco, from Portland to The Dalles.
to Astoria, to Olympia. Steiiacoom and
Tacoma, and three times week from
Olympia to Seattle. The Postmaster
General has, IN his discretion, suspend
ed the third service to Seattle till after
the FIRST Of January. leaving Seattle, the
largest town north of Portland, with
more business than all the other towns
provided with daily mails between that
point and this, to. be supplied but twice
O week, Notwithstanding the act of Con-
gress which provides for such service
three times week. The consequence
is, that our newspaper mails. daily &C
cummulating at the way stations, reach
here with no regularity, and many of
them never reach here at all, and letters
are often week on the way which ought
to be delivered here the day they are
mailed ut Portland. These things work
a great hardship to the people of this
town, and is all owing to the unjust dis

ment against us. More than ten years
ago, when Portland was not as much cf
a commercial town as Seattle is to day.
it was supplied with an overland mail
from San Francisco, at twenty times the
cost of supplying this city with q; daily
mail now; but Portland had two sena
tors and a Representative to look after
her interests in Washington, and it ap..
