THROUGH the courtesy of w. B.
Crane, Esq, the general agent on
the Pacific Coast for the New York
Life Insurance Company, we find a
copy OF the g New York Almanac"
for 1875 upon our table. Aside
from containing many valuable
statistics, entertaining sketches, both
humorous and historical, it is one
of the most handsomely printed and
elegantly illustrated almanacs we
have seen this year. The agency of
the Company in whose interest it is
gotten out is in Marye's building,
rooms and 2, Virginia City. The
New York Company is one of the
most reliable insurance institutions
in the country.

"HoPE SPRINGS ETERNAL IN THE HU-
MAN BREAST" - We have beautiful
illustration of this sentiment in the case
of our venerable friend Prosch, on
leaving Tacoma, because there was no
bread there, but with the glorious hope
of soon returning to the home of his
affections. The congregation of St.
Peters Chapel presented him a watch,
as token of their affection and appre-
clation of his labors, closing their pres
sentation address as follows: "1ruly
we view it as great misfortune, your
leaving us, but we console ourselves
with the hope that the bright future of
Tacoma, now looming up in the East.
will soon throw its illuminating rays
over US, and with them we shall anx-
iously look for your return. with the
banner Of the old Tribune uufurled to
the prop;tious breeze" The return to
Tacoma, based upon the future pros
perity of that town, may be as anxiously
longed for by the venerable disciple,
but is quite as remote as the return of
the children of Israel to the promised
land.

PERILoUs VoYAaE.-The tug Teaser
LETT The Dalles at 6 A. NJ. yesterday,
with Mr.. ). W. Brazee at the wheel. and
two men. Carroll and Stephenson, as
fireman and engineer, for the purpose of
coming through to Portland via the
rapids of the Cascades. The little YES
sci reached the upper cascades about 10
o'clock. and was soon dashing through
the breake ers on her perilous voyage. Ii
trife over ten minutes the tug had ran
through the boiling waters, being tossed
about in a most unceremonious manner
The reader can imagine with what
speed she Travelled when we say the
distance was six miles. The train bound
for the lower cascades was stopped at a
point on the road where good view
could be obtained, and the passengers
had an opportunity to witness portion
of the tugs passage. Shortly after 4

A DANGEROUS SLrDE.-On Frioay last.
young lady who resides in the neigh
borheod of Esgle Cliff, undertook to
visit lady friend a few miles distant,
and instead of taking a small boat, she
started off on trail leading into the
woods and over the cliff. In a short
time she lost her way and after Wander
ing about for over an hour became uis-
grstsd and tired of the undertaking
Seeing an old frame work which proved
to be chute for sliding wood from the
cliff to the dock below, she concluded to
descend by it.. This chute is 400 feet in
length and proved to be in good condi~
ton to aid her in making quick pass.
age. The young lady got into the
chute and descended with lightning
rapidity. Her dress catching Just a.
she reached the terminus prevented her
being thrown over tie rocks into the
river otherwise sad accident might
have been the result. She came out OF
her adventure with few scratches and

TIMES CHANGED.-Two years ago DR..
J. G. Chapman, Of Portland, was Chair
man of the Democrat State Central
Committee; had always been regarded
as stanch Den ocratic partisan, and
had been elected Mayor of Portland as
a Democrat. Henry c. Failing, up to
that time had always been an old line
Republican; never having acted with
any other party. At the recent city
election in Portland, Chapman was
elected Mayor on the regular Republi-
can ticket. defeating Failing, who ran
on Peoples ticket" The Republi-
cans as party, voted for Chapman; the
Democrats as generally voted forFai!ing.
Is it to be supposed that these gentle.
men hal swapped principles, or that
either changed his life long political
sentiments upon any essential issue
between the two parties? Neither has
ever announced any change Of senti-
ments upon any political iss1e. Chap
mar in sentiment is as Democratic now
as he was then; Failing as much Repub-
iican. The sole contest between the
two parties was Tor the spoIls; and that
is practically the only matter Of contest
between parties at the present tims in
any municipal election; and yet the
sroils hunters will earnestly insist that
principles must be maintained"

T The other evening a hoodlum
frightened two ladies nearly out Of their
wits by crawling up on the shed roof
of an addition to their residence and
breaking through window into the
upper story. The ladies thinking that
burglars were around ran out and called
in neighbor, who with al the cautious
ness peculiar to burglar hunter crept
up stairs and peeped around the par
tition, when dark lantern was turned
ON full force. He summoned up cour-
age and inquired. "what do you want?"
To his surprise he was answered in a
very gruff manner, 81 am looking for
Mrs. Ms jewelry." 1t seems the hood
lum was requested to go and look for
the jewe.ry some time in the afternoon,
but instead he took the dead hour of
night and either did not know the house
was occupied or didn't suppose it made
any difference. This should be warm

more houses. as 1t is dangerous under
