- Rev. A. B. Nicholson has brought
suit against the University, at Seattle,
for non-fulfllment of contract. It will
be remembered that through some mis-
understanding of the Regents Mr.. N.
was employed as Principal of the In
stituion, while holding the position of
Professor at Kingston, N. Y, and that
he left his employment, transported his
family at great expense to Seattle, and
was then left without means by reason
of the Board of Regents having en-
ployed another person to fulfill the du-
ties for which he was engaged.

STRANGE MEETING. "A Walla-walla
paper publishes the following story: A
strange meeting recently took place not
far from the city of Walla-walla. Twen-
ty-one years ago q man left home with
out word to his wife, and was not
heard from until one month ago. Soon
after his leaving q girl was born to his
wife. The wife, after waiting in vain
for word from her husband, married
again, and one child was the result of
her second marriage. Her second hus-
band died, and soon after her first
husband wrote to her, telling her that
he was on this coast, and she immedi-
ately started for this city. She arrived
here this week, bringing with her her
two children, and was met soon after
by her husband. 1t is needless to say
it was a happy meeting. So much for
a romance in real life.

A New INDUSTRY. Since the close of
the salmon season, some of the can
neries on the Columbia river have turned
their attention to putting up beef and
mutton in tins, which seems to find q
ready market abroad, and is eagerly
sought after by shipmasters, who are
thus enabled to lay in supply of fresh
meats which will last them throughout
the voyage. Ox-tail and other choice
soups are also put up in these establish
ments, and sea-faring men buy largely
OF it, since, by serving it out to their
crews at stated periods, they will pre-
vent the appearance of scurvy, which
hos been rightly termed the scourge of
the ocean.

The SEATTLE RACE. About seven

The SEATTLE RACE. About seven
hundred people were present at the re-
cent trial of speed between Osceola and
Tom Merry, over the Seattle course, on
New Years day. The Mielligencer's re-
| port says: "The race to be run was fora
stake of 1900, including a purse CT
$500 and $500 aside, mile heats, tie
best three in five. At half-past twelve,
on the third trial, start was had, Tom
Merry slightly in the lead, who kept it
for the first quarter, till swinging out
too far, Osceola speedily closed up the
gap, and taking the inside of the track,
soon passed him and kept in the lead
the balance Of the heat, coming out
ahead some twenty-five or thirty feet.
Prior to this heat Tom Merry was the
general favorite, and any amount of
bets could have been gobbled up Mt
large odds, but there were but few
taken. But now the odds were the
other way, and still fewer bets taken.
On the second heat very nearly even
start was made, Osceola slightly leading
his opponent the first quarter; but
coming up the home stretch, the race
was very exciting, Tom Merry tapping
right on and being neck and neck with
Osceola as he came under the line, and
losing the heat by only about two feet.
Time, 154. On the third heat Tom
Merry got the lead, but was soon passed
by Osceola, who gradually widened the
distance between them and came in on
the home stretch some twenty-five or
thirty yards ahead, thus winning the
three straight heats. Time, 1854. Not
withstanding the reluctance about bot
ting at the time of the first and second
heats. a large amount of money changed
hands, is estimated by those who are
posted at about O,00O."

LAUNDERING UNCLE SAM. The Boston
Advertiser thinks that the Commissioner
of Customs has greatly exaggerated the
amount of private smuggling carried
OH by Americans. 1t says: His esti-
mate is that the American tourists for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1873,
numbered $3.50, and that each one OF
these pilgrims returned to this country
with seven trunks full of goods which
should have paid duty but did not. AS.
Stunning that each of the 257 $40 trunks
contained dutiable articles worth $500
the Commissioner finds no difficulty in
figuring up the amount thus struggled
at value of $12S, $685. 900. When it is
remembered that but part of the tray
cling public supply their wants in this
way, the amount left for the rest must
interfere somewhat with the pleasure Of
travelling" sell.

months in advance, should have the

readily. Poor Grant, it don't appear

Ordinance Detachment at this post, but
latterly with the Twenty-third Infantry
in Arizona, died suddenly in this city on
Saturday evening last. Together with
his wife the deceased was walking up
Main street about o'clock, when just
as they reached DR.. Wallis drug store
the man fell, clinging the while to his
wife's garments with death grip, and
dragging her to the earth with him.
He was carried into the drug store, when
it was discovered he was dead. He was
hard drinker, and as his end was
what might have been looked for, the
Coroner was not summoned. He leaves
no children. Drs. Alexander and Smith
proposed to hold post norton exam
ination, but in Difference to the feelings
of the widow the idea was abandoned"

diminution it gives ratio of Ito per

There can now be no doubt OF the wis

of every ticket, which will be more sat

more for the interest of the Library,

coming off this time, the Governor pro-
poses to return every ticket-holder'

COMPARATIVE TAXATION. official

COMPARATIVE TAXATION. official
figures for 1873 and 1874 give some GU
rious facts about the rates of taxation
in the several States. The rates vary
all the way from 10 cents on 500 in
Connecticut, to the startling sum OF
81 Is on the 500 in Louisiana. After
Connecticut, which leads the list with
10 cents, comes Indiana and Oregon
with Is cents, Maryland with II cents,
Rhode Island with 20 cents, Michigan
with % cents, Illinois with "a cents,
Georgia, Kansas, Ohio and Tennessee
with 40 cents, Missouri with As cents,
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Maine,
Minnesota, Texas and Virginia so cents,
South Carolina and Florida 20 cents,
New York 72a cents, Nevada 81 12aa
and Louisiana 50 Is. Making all due
allowance for difference in the taxable
valuations, there still remains a vari-
ence which can only Le explained on
the supposition that some of the States
are economically managed, and others
with ruinous extravaganza.
