the stay of the party, they shot eight of
the remaining twelve goats, and, on
leaving, assured the brothers that the

the island, the brothers were unwilling
to 90 to Tristsn da Cunha, feeling that
they would not be welcome. For ten
months they were without communica-

s'In January, 1878, Frederic, again
swimming around the bluff, mounted
the cliff, and succeeded In shooting
four pigs; these were thrown over the
cliff to the brother below. He refralned
from shooting the remaining four goats.
At the end of the month Frederic re-
joined his brother, and the day after he
did so party from Tristan da Cunha
landed on the west side, and either
shot or caught the remaining goats,
which they took away with them. They
did not communicate with the Germans,
and as this was intentional, the brothers
considered that their object was to drive
them from the island. Probably the
Tristan da Cunha people considered
that their residing on the island inter

A STEP IN THE RIGHT D1REcr1oN.-We
observe that the Independent Conven-
ton, recently held at Vancouver,
placed Miss Jennie Clark on their ticket
for School Superintendent, not as a
recognition of the right of women to
hold Office, but simply because nobody
else could be found in either party who
would accept the position. We con.
graduate the ladies on conquest, al
though it may have resulted from cir
cumstanoss which detract somewhat
from the honor usually conveyed hy a
party nomination. Wehope Miss Jennie
will be elected, and make, as we doubt
not she will, a faithful and efficient off.

not accept the hospitality of a rogue
who had made him cat's-paw:

OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING. OCT. 81, 1874.
THE 0FFICE-HoLDERs' H0oDoo."

That the mountain has been in labor
the past week was evident from the anx-
iety and activity of the Republican
nurses. That it brought forth mere
mouse was painfully evident on Thurs
day evening, when with ten days per-
lstent drumming the number who par
ticipated in the torch-light reception
was less than seventy, and more than
one-third of these were boys ranging
between eight and eighteen years of
age. The procession sailed forth from
Grainger's Hall about seven o'clock
and proceeded in dismal silence to the
plank road fronting Maple Park, where
they halted to await the arrival of Yaw-
cups. Large bodies move slowly, still
waters run deep, grave men move
with circumspection, and why should
not Judge Jacobs keep his retainers
waiting, when thereby he could impress
them with a sense of the dignity to be
attached to his dual official honors, real
and prospective! With admirable pru-
dence and economy the torches were
extinguished, until needed for use, and
each man stood with lucifer poised,
waiting anxiously, breathlessly, impa-
tently. The word is given, and the
lights appear, when 10! and behold,

less hoodlum had given false alarm
and literally brought the Republican
party to the scratch. Sadly the "glim
was doused," all ears were pointed to-
wards Tumwater expectantly. Again
the heartless joke was played. and a
second time the torches were sorrow
fully extinguished, and when the verit-
able Jacobs did appear, some were out
of temper and others didn't believe it,
and confusion reigned supreme. Fin
ally the procession was arranged in toll
cradle order, and proceeded to town
with Judge Jacobs in the rear, the first
instance, we believe, on record in which
the hearse did not precede the funeral
procession. The line of march was
down Main Street, back to Fourth and
to Columbia Hall, when the kid-gloved
gentlemen who have been sent out here
to "give tone to popular sentiment
yielded up their torches, in the fervent
hope that "party necessity" might
never again impose upon them such
mental duty.
The audience was smaller than DR..
Haskells few weeks ago, and devoid
of enthusiasm. The Judge manner was
impressive, his voice basso profuado and
his style that of the hard shell Baptist
persuasion, plentifully intoned, while
his emphasis sounded like the rever.

marks are scarcely worthy of synop-

to the addresses which were ordered to be

figure is astonishing as the result Of only
