PASSENGERS LISTS. The up-sonna

papers complain that the Seattle
papers do not publish the lists Of
passengers for Olympia and Taco
ma. The truth is that the steamers
only go to Olympia half the time,
and do not always have passengers
then. The custom-house is loca cd
at Port Townsend, and the pursers
are really not bound to name pas
sengers for any place beyond it.
Naming those for Seattle, though
the largest place on the Sound, is
merely courtesy on the part of those
officers, for which we are always
thankful.
CARTooN.-Jamieson will set out
another cartoon from the pencil of
Mort. McClair. 1t is called the
Political Tak(e) Ticks of 1876,
warranted to run four years." It
represents Tilden and Hayes as two
burglars just running out of a jew
elry store. Hayes has two clocks in
his hand marked Louisiana" and
Florida" while Tilden has one of
those winking negroes with a dial
on his belly, marked "South Caro-
lima The presence of we'll
known Seattle jeweler is something
of an anachronism in the piece.
DRowNED.-Mrs. Ross, wife of
the captain of bark Lizzie Williams,
which plies between this port and
San Francisco in the interest of the
Seattle Coal and Transportation Co., !,
was drowned at Oakland wharf last
Friday, by falling overheard, while
avoiding a locomotive. Her body
has since been recovered. Mrs.
Ross was an English lady, married
three or four years ago while her
husband was at Cal diff, on the bark
Aureola, now in port. She leaves
one child.
PEssoNAL.-Col. H. c. Paige, ira
yelling agent of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
has gone to Victoria. Capt. John
G. Parker, of the new steamer Mes
senger, is spending few days in
town. >. Lieut.. Ellicott, of the Uni
ted States Coast Survey, was in the
city yesterday. His party are still
surveying at the lower end of wash
on Island. Amos Bowman, for
many years in the California Geolo-
gical Survey, is accommodating about
Seattle.
REPAIRING UNoER WAY.--Steamer
Comet carries three carpenters while
under way, who are extending her
cabin. This is a novelty for these
waters but was always customary in
low water during the palmy days OF
steamboating on the upper Sacra-
mento. It was nothing unusual for
a boat to knock out twenty buckets
and half dozen arms, between Chi
CO and Red Bluff, hence carpenter
was always needed.
GRAIN EXPORT. = Two small
schooners discharged their cargoes
of grain into the Dakota on Sunday
The warehouse at Belltown is nearly
full and the steamer Dispatch will
be here with a lot more before this
issue reaches its readers. If recla-
nation is only pushed forward as it
should be, we can ship oats and b. ?
to California next year, instead OF
importing them as we did, two years
ago.
NEs.--One Indian gave another
Indian some beer, and number two
kicked up row on the strength of
it. Judge Scott fined him flve dol
lars, and then slapped handicap OF
fifty dollars on the Indian who gave
him the beer. Query-Win he
continue the decimal progression
and fine the brewer $500 for making
the beer?
LABOR ExcHANGE.-The want Of a
labor and immigration Office in this
place is we'll set forth by the fact
that q boss logger from the island
was three hours, yesterday, IN get
ting two men such as he needSa for
his camp. With such an institu-
tion as we propose. he could have
secured them in half an hour.

Pscifc Railroad. n 1874. has bsenE
