A GOVERNMENT GKosr.-Captain Ell
licott, of the Coast Survey, is a man
more remarkable for neatness tina n any
other quality. He dresses in very plain
style, keeps tidy desk. and has his
boats looking as if they we're bran new.
from one years end to the other. Being
about to discontinue his trlangulation
operations for the winter, he hired
space on Crawford & Harrington's
wharf for boat shed. and placed two
of his boats under it. His steam launch
was too big and heavy to hoist. SO he
concluded to let her remain in the
water, taking care to place neat can
vass jacket over the boiler and engine.
That let him out, but here begins the
fun. An aged colored individual went
down the wharf to go aboard the Co.
liah for Port Gamble. last night, and
caught sight of an upright figure in
white, standing in the stern of the skiff.
He rushed up to the bank Exchange and
astonished the stove-comforters with
"Fors God, gemmen, come down on
de wharf dar. Great big ghos' down
dar standin' up in the starn of a yawl-
boat down dar." The few bystanders
who accompanied him discovered that
he had got his fright from the neat
white jacket that covered the engine on
the launch.
STEAMBOAT ITEMS. Goliah,
Capt. Libby, arrived here from Port
Gamble yesterday. She towsd to sea
from Burrard Inlet, on Tuesday, the
ship Black Eagle. The Annie Fish.
which loaded ut the same place, was
towed to sea by the Tacoma, which
then returned to Port Townsend and
towed the bark Enoch Talbot to Nanai-
mo. Capt. Tom Brannan. of the Lib
by, has our thanks for additions to our
subscription list, during the week.
Capt. Wright transferred his flag from
the Nellie to the Zephyr, on Wednes-
day. to give Capt. Rogers chance to
attend to some business at Port Town
send. The Aida will shortly take the
place of the Annie Stewart on the Up
per Sound route, in charge of Capt
Browner. The Poli:kofsky will be laid
up in a few days for her new boilers.
Captain Hammond has returned from
Olympia where he went to inspect the
new steamer Messenger.
j. l.. JAM1EsoN.-This enterpris,ng
young gentleman has just received
large invoice of annuals and elegantly
bound books suitable for holiday gifts.
With illustrations on steel from paint-
ings by artists of world wide reputation,
and lstter-press in the highest style of
typography, there can be no more ele-
CANT presents than these.
A CLOSE CALL. Tuesday night
q youugster whose fourth birthday was
to be celebrated next day, remarked as
he was being put to bed, Papa, I'm
half-past three now-I'll be four in the
morning" That was a very pointed
way of putting it. certainly.
DR. PILKiNGroN. - This gentleman,
who has gained some fame by his treat
ment of diseased eyes and ears, offers
his professional services to the people
of Seattle. Read his card.

SCPooL FIxTUREs.-One hundred
and thirty dollars worth of
school apparatus, consisting of
globe, charts, dictionaries, ETC.,
came on the Dakota on Tuesday,
and we're put to their first use in
the public schools to-day. The
money spent for these things was
that raised by the children month
ago.
GRAIN.--Capt. Chas. Bowden, of
the L. J. Perry, informs us that he
dumped forty-nine tons of grain in
to the Dakota yesterday and that the
Mary Parker was only a few hours
behind him with at least one hun
dred tons more. Guess the Frisco
folks will find out we can raise some
thing besides lumber.
ARTIFICIAL STONE. From Mr.. A.
G. Campbell, who got back from
Victoria yesterday. we learn that
Messrs. Thorp and Leathers have
made very favorable impression
there with artificial stone. A new
company has been formed there for
its manufacture and will purcha. q
the patent right for that province.
Ivy CLUB.-These gentlemen gave
their private club hop last night at
Reinig's Hall. The attendance was
very full considering that several of
the members were in attendance at
Mrs. Bailey Gatzert's reception.
Their next public reunion will be
on Wednesday, January 10th.
MAGNIFICENT METEOR. AT about
half-past eight last evening, a large
blush colored meteor passed across
the heavens and disappeared in a
westerly direction. Its apparent
size, was about as large as the head
light of locomotive, and lit up the
heavens in brilliant manner while
passing.
CoNTEMPTIBLE.- smart va

down the sign in front of our office,
on Tuesday night. We thought we
were in Seattle-not in that para
disc of squaw men, Empire City.

MEETING IN PUMPRINTowN-We are In.
formed that thore will be a meeting on satur
day, the 10th inst, at Pumpkintown, for the
purpose Of organizing Democratic Club
This is the last township in the County to be
organized We would suggest to our friends
the propriety of voting upon the question Of
primary election at the same meeting, and
also the selection of member of tho County
Executive Committee, to which they are en-
titled. The late County Convention elected
She present members, but as each delegation
was allowed to make their own selection from
their townships, we presume thero will be no
objection to the Pumpkingtown Club selecting
theirs, and his acting upon said committee
before the meceting of the noxt Convention
which can, if it is necessary, confirm him.
