AT TAcoMA.-Harry Atkins, of this
place (who is profanely known as Dick)
is at Tacoma with his pile-driver. He
greAses it with Holloway's Ointment,
and it is said to be good thing for the
piles-which are towed over there from
Skookum Bay by the Teaser.
TRACK LAYING.-The work of laying
14C0 feet of iron and distributing ties
for the same, was performed yesterday
on the trestle work of the Seattle &
Walla Walla Railroad, under the super
vision of Mr.. Bradley. Considering the
force of men they have. it was a big
days work.
MARINE NEws.-There are now but
four square .rigged sailing vessels in the
Sound. the barkentine Discovery hav-
ing sailed from Freeport tLis morning
in tow of the Cello. The Annie and
Enoch Talbot are loading here. the Co
qnimbo at Port Madison and the Forest
Queen at Port Ludlow. 1t is seldom
that such scarcity occurs.
FULLY DUE.-There are some six
or seven, vessels now out ten days
from San Francisco, bound for this
place; and as we have mostly south
erly weather at this season, they
ought to be here. Capt. Taylor, Of
the S. c. & T. Company, informs us
that they have used every possible
exertion to string them out, but in
spite of every precaution, they will
arrive in Euddle. So Capt. Blair
thought he would send them from
San Francisco in feet and trust to
luck for the fastest one getting here
and away again before the slowest
one arrived. We shall shall see how
the affair turns out.
STEAMBOAT ITEMS The Favorite
from Port Gamble, passed up-Sound
last night with load of hay and
stores for North Bay, whence she
will tow down a raft of logs. The
Zephyr, this afternoon, brought
over load of logging cattle, to be
used on this side of the pond. The
Black Diamond arrived from the
Swinomish and the Ruby from Port
Madison, the latter towing scow to
be loaded with brick. The Eliza
Anderson passed down the Sound
early this morning, while our re-
porter was hugging his spare pill
low and dreaming of Mrs. Jim Oates
in La File de Madame Angot."
QUEENS GREAT SHOW. Charley
Pell, advance agent for Montgomery
Queens big show, gave us call to-
day. Time has dealt sparingly with
the clever old soul since we met him
in New Orleans, nineteen years ago,
and he still carries, like Shakspeare's
Justice, "his fine, round belly with
good fat capon lined" He informs
us that the company will perform
here on Tuesday and Wednesday
next, with an array of ring talent
never before witnessed here. The
riding of Mollie Brown and Sebas-
tian is unsurpassed for grace and
daring, while the grotesque busl-
ness of Joe Kennebel, the French
clown, is incomprehensibly funny.
The idea that man who cannot
speak a word of English, can Keep
people laughing for half an hour, is
strange but true. His butterfly act
is SO quaint that every posture seems
like caricature upon humanity
We shall have more to say about
the big show.
Thompson, the well-known light
weight jockey. has died of smallpox at
Middleham. He was only nineteen years
