The Situation.

DRIFToN, Fla, December 6.
AT about4 o'clock this morn
ing the Board Of Canvassers of
this Slate c~onsummated the VIII
famous robbery that they have
been planning for a week, and
gave the Electoral vote OF Flor
ida to Hayes by a forged ma
jority Of 924 votes. The result
was reached by the throwing
out of three Democratic coun-
ties, on the sole ground Of in
timidation and violence, when
there was not a gun, pistol or
knife drawn in either county on
clection-day. The proven fraud
IN Alachua, in the attempt TO
cover which forgery, bribery
and perjury was proven upon
the Republicans, was sustained
in fact. The managers just Sc
lectcd enough counties to give
Stearns as we'll as Hayes a ma
jority and threw them out.
At about dusk a company of
soldiers marched into the State
house yard and took posses
sion of the building, lighted
their camp-fres in the sacred
shadow of the Capitol and put
their sentinels to walking their
rounds, and the last act of the
election was consumated be-
tween the calls of the Corporal
as he mounted his guard.

DEJAzEr's PETTIcoAT. Writing from
Paris, Edward King tells the following
anecdote: Once, before you or I were
born, Mile. Virginie Dejazet was play
ing in some obscure province, when .
we'll in which peasant was ct work
cayed in in such q manner as TO leave
him buried, and yet alive. All France
was at once interested in in the fate OF
this unfortunate workman, and the
most extraordinary efforts we're made
to save him. At last it was announced
as positive that he would be liberated
from this horrible confinement on o
certain day. When he was drawn out
of the we'll, covered with bruises, there
was great crowd assembled 10 rec
him. The physician, finding him COM
pletely fayed by bis contact with the
sand and earth which had been press
ing upon him, bandaged him. At last
the linen and fannsls gave out, and
the doctor called for more.' None were
to I've had, and the doctor was in des-
pair, when Dsjazet came forward, made
Q modest courtesy, explained that she
was anxious Of doing some good, loosed
string, dropped her petticoat at the
doctors feet, and said: I" Tear that up
and use it!' The ladies present were
much annoyed that an actress should
have dared to do such thing in their
presence; but there is no doubt that
she did exactly the right thing. Il
made her famous. ..i'' ''Ls t'''aN -..

her rage was beautiful! Blushing
scarlet, uttering little stacatto shrieEns
OF anger, stamping her feet violently on
the ice, she made it evident to all, that
good-breeding in her country admitted
OF no such performances.
Arthur called out to the young man
to dssist, but he declared that Il was
bis intention that the young girl should
ny with him to her home, and that once
there he would rescue the rest OF the
party; Arthur and Inman exclaiming
that such conduct was an outrage pro-
ceeded to take him from the person of
their young person by force. But be-
fore they had reached him the Young
girl, thinking perhaps that they ali
meant to detain her by force, moved
her wings and was Instantly far above
the reach Of any them, save the young
man who still clung to her. In anoth-
er moment she had mounted still high

q distance or hundred feet and turn
ing meanwhile such summersault as
brought the young man forward heels
over head and then suddenly spreading
her wings again freed herself from her
unwelcome burden, and the poet was

comparison to the density Of the latter
element, he had no difficulty in swim

at his leisure his rash enterprise. 4
Their visitor soon disappeared in the
distance, and again loneliness, bordering
on dispair, settled down upon the little
company. However it was of short du-

was black with flying creatures. led by
the beautiful young girl, who brought

THE PENALTY OF CATCHING COLD.

We venture to question the necessity of
the greater part of the illness that arises from
colds. Why should people have colds at all!
Unlike many other diseases, IL Is well under
stood how they arise; all the conditions and
causes that produce colds are continually
pointed out by physicians; they are easily
measured and recognized, and Tan as easily
be guarded against. All that Is required Is
due fOrethought and caution-forethough
and caution that extend TO the condition Of
the atmosphere In the house, the kind of
heat used for warming the rooms, the prev
alence OF draughts, the clothing worn at
home and abroad, the precautions against
sudden changes of weather, the maintenance
of warm and dry feet, the protection OF the
lungs, and other delicate and susceptible parts
of the body; all Of which are comfortable
things with every one possessing the ordin-
ary faculties, and endowed with the average
share Of good sense.
II Il were penal offense to take cold; II O
cough arising from thoughtless exposure

getting sick because OF mere incapacity to
measure conditions and arrange precautions

New FoUNDRY.-Mr. John Ma
ton has commenced work alrea-
dy on the building for his new
foundry, on a lot which he re-
Gently purchased near Jones'
machine shop. The building
is rather small but he intends to
enlarge it considerably in the
spring, when the weather is
more suitable for building. A
road is being cut through from
his place to Front Street. The
neig ghborhood in which this new
foundry is being started seems
destined to become the manufac-
turing centre of town. Within
the radius of a block there are
at present two large machine
shops and in the immediate
neighborhood there is the found
rp of the Wilson's.

SAN FRANcIsco. Dec. 31.-A warrant
has been issued by us. Commissioner
O'Beirne for the arrest of Capt. Sawyer
of the ship Orpheus, which collided
with the steamer Pacific and subse-
quently wrecked at the mouth of Bar
clay Sound, Vancouver Island. The
warrant is based on the affidavits of
seven men of the crew of the Orpheus
that the captain wilfully cast the ship
away. Cvpt. Sawyer took passage on
the Colorado yestl rday, for Panama.
He will be stopped at San Diego. The
U. S. marshal claims to have been mis-
led as to his intention of leaving on the
Colorado; but Sawyer's friends say he
secured his passage without any attempt
at concealment.

Loss OF THE WINDwARD.-The
Captain of the bark Windward
arrived here on Saturday in a
canoe and reported that his YES
Sci had gone ashore in Useless
Bay, on WILDLY Island and was
a total loss. The Windward was
loaded with $4,000 feet of lum-
ber from Colman's mill and sail
ed from here on Thursday, Dec.
30. She run into Useless Bay
on the same night and struck
about a mile from the beach,
where she is now lying, dismast-
ed and on her beam ends. 1t
was blowing a heavy gale from
the southwest at the time. At
ter reporting the disaster at this
place, and telegraphing it to the
consignees, the Captain returned
to the scene of the disaster to
endeavor to save as much as
possible from the wreck. The
vessel was partially insured, but
the cargo was not. The vessel
was owned by Preston Il McKin-
mon, J. NJ. Colman and c. L. Tay-
2or and the cargo.by Mr.. Colman
alone. 1t is expected that most
OF the lumber can be saved.

A Trip to Tacoma.
SAD DROWNING AFFAIR.

Accepting the kind invitation of M.
Otis Freeman. the resident agent of ths
P. NJ. s. $. Co., for trip to Tacoma on
board ths City of Panama, we went
aboard the staunch craft, and during q
a heavy squall the lines were cast off
and we steamed up the bay. After hav-
ing been presented to Capt. Seabury
and the balance of the geutlemanly Off
GERS, We were shown by Mr.. Freeman
through the velvet-lined cabin, state
rooms and the pantries, &c. The cabin
we saw was commodious, the state-
rooms we'll ventilated and the mattresses
of the beds were covered with linen
that are washed as we'll as the sheets,
every trip, an innovation that will be
hailed with pleasure by every traveller.
The pantres were scrupulously clean,
as were the store room and the cook
rooms, and all would bear the inspec-
ton of the most fastidious. After ex-
ploring between decks, and inspecting
the precautions taken to prevent fire
from contact of the boilers, we were
introduced to Mr.. J. H. Matthews, the
Chief Engineer. and were piloted by
him down to the depths OF the hold,
where the demons are fed on fire and
water"
The engines are compound high and
low pressure, of 14OO horse power, with
super-heating boilers attached. They
use the steam twice, thus saving SO per
of fuel and are able to make II knots
with an average consumption of 13 tons
of coal per day. The strangest part
was, however, the super-heating boiler,
which SO dries the steam that it will
neither scald nor burn the flesh, but
glance of like hot air; ''seeing was be-
lieving" with US, and We saw it was a
fact. The indicating clock showed that
the main shaft had made 336.O13 revo-
lutions since leaving San Francisco and
the steam guage marked 60 lbs of steam.
Thanking the engineer for his courtesy,
we went on deck to have pointed out TO
US three houses and a hotel. which
marks the site of the city of Tacoma
At length reaching the wharf, We went
in the Depot Hotel, and after supper
went up on the hill and had jolly
evening tripping the Light fantastic
toe" at the Hall. However. when We
reached our stateroom, We had an idea
that Tacoma was not much of place
anyway. and that it should be called the
North Pacifc's folly.
A painful accident occurred here on
Wednesday, the 29th. Three young
lads. named respectively John and
Harry Ralston, aged 16 and II years,
Willie Pratt, aged - years. were out
cunning in a canoe, when on their re-
turn they took aboard Mr.. John Croft,
engineer of the Black Diamond. After
leaving the Puyallup river nothing has
been seen of them save the canoe, bot
tom up, the paddles, and hat. Tie
bay has been dragged but to no purpose
and MIR. Joseph,Ralston has to mourn
the death of his two eldest boys.
A beautiful New Years morn greeted
our return and helped to enliehten our
minds in relation to building a city in
no place in particular. However. our
time was rendered pleasant by the jolly
companionship of the Panama's eff
cient officers and we reached Seattle in
time to partake of the happiness of the
day. V.
