GETTING AN OLD FASHIONED CoUNTBY
DINNER. Jones told his wife last
Sunday morning that he believed he
would walk out in the country and
spend the day with farmer he knew,
and get an old-fashioned country din
ner. So after eating very scant break
fast in order that he would be able to
put away good portion of the old
fashioned dinner, that he imagined he
was going to get. he slit out" As it
was several miles to where he was going
the walk began to whet up his appetite,
and by the time he came in sight Of the
farmers house he felt as if he could de-
YOUR an OK, and when he reached the
house and the savory fumes Of roast
pork greeted his olfactories, his hunger
became almost beyond endurance.
After knocking about the place awhile
with the farmer, the coveted dinner
hour arrived, and with the full inten-
ton of doing justice to an old fashioned
country dinner, Jones went in the house
with the farmer and took seat at the
table, and being helped to choice piece
of the pork, he pitched in, telling the
farmer that he thought it was very nice.
"Yas," said the farmer, "if that hog
had lived till Christmas it would have
pushed four hundred pounds; but twas
taken sick the other day and died, and
as times are hard we thought that we
would save it anyhow
Jones eyes became about the size OF
the plate he was eating off of; his rave
nous appetite disappeared; and button
ing up his coat he.l looked at the farmer,
and began shaking from head to foot.
"Got chill, eh?' said the farmer,
taking q good sized mouthful Of pork,
which made Jones sick at his stomach.
YES" said Jones, jumping up from
the table and making for the door, "and
I must be getting home. l don't care
about being laid up on your hands -
and leaving the farmer to eat his old
fashioned dinner himself, Jones struck
out for home.
About three o'clock that afternoon,
Mrs. Jones, gho was taking a nap, was
aroused by hearing noise in the
kitchen, and on going out to ascertain
the cause of it, found Jones at the cup
board devouring cold victuals as if he
had not tasted food for week
Didn't you get your cid fashioned
country dinner?" she asked.
Get-thunder and lightning, no.

ONE MORE SURVIVOR !!
80 HOURS on A RAFT!
DEATH OF
CAPT. J. D. HOWELL!


PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 10.-The
steamer Goliah returned from
Cape Flattery last night and
reports that the Revenue Cutter
Oliver Wolcott picked up one
of the Quartermasters of the
steamship Pacific near Paltar
Point, about 80 miles inside the
Cape on Monday morning at +
o'clock. The man had been in
the water so hours. At one time
eight persons were with him on
the raft, including Captain How
ell, the second officer and a lady.
They all either died or were
washed off and drowned. Howell
died on Sunday, being the last
to leave this man. After Capt.
Howells death, he caught a dry
goods box and foated in that
many hours before being picked
up. He says the cause of the
disaster was that the steamer
was struck by ship just for
ward Of the wheelhouse on the
starboard side, cutting her in
two.

same as Jelly:s. On the return

THE Pacific. The Victoria
C6lonist of yesterday morning
has a very graphic account OF
the loss of the steamship Pacific,
as obtained from the statement
OF Jelly, the survivor. The ac-
count does not differ materially Y
from those already published,
except that he says there are
slight hopes that two boats got
away. The C6lonist asserts that
the Pacific had 5 feet of water
in her hold when she left Port

no evidence to prove the asser-
ton.

Their unanimous Judgment is that with the

already rendered should be sustained on ap-
peal. there is nothing left in the bill. The
jury clause, pending the debate in congress-,
was conceded to be in a legal sense the weakest
