A MONKEYS FATAL CURIOsITY.-The
soldiers at the United States Arsenal at
Summerville had, until Monday, pet
monkey, the "cunningest" Darwinian
that ever left the African forests. Jocko
was ordinarily good monkey, but, like
too many of his biped contemporaries, he
possessed great fault. Jocko was tor
mented by curiosity, and alas it finally
brought him to An untimely grave. For
some time Jocko has been in the habit of
watching the artillery-men - they fired
the morning and evening gun, and finally
became imbued With an ardent desire to

handed to him, remarking that he
would like to have the play com
mence no later than 2 o'clock.
Foster got the company together
and related the circumstance. The
idea of playing "Richa,d'' to an au
dience of one, was SO excessively II
diculous, and so new to their expe
rience, that they one and all consent
sentcd. Two o'clock came and the
solitary audience assembled. Choos.
ing an eligible position, and cooking
his feat upon the back of the seat in
front of him, he waited for the per-
formance to begin. The bell rang,
up went the curtain, and the play
commenced. Never did actors do
better. They all exerted themselves
to give their patron an entertain
ment fully worth the price paid for
1t, and they succeeded. The stran-
ger applauded vigorously at different
points, and at the close of the play
called the Richard, Mr.. Joseph T.
Fannin, before the curtain, who re
sponded in a neat little speech. A
dance and song followed, after
which the farce of the "Rough Dia
mond' was played. The audience
laughed, roared, and applauded, and
left in time to catch the GAS train.

An Audience of One.

Governor Joseph c. Foster. the
veteran American manager, actor,
and author, some years ago organic
ed theatrical company to play short
engagements in various cities and
towns of the West. They arrived at
Bucyrus, Ohio, 4 small city on the
Sandusky river, where bills were is
sued, hall rented, and properties
engaged. During their stay q novel
incident occurred. Mr.. Foster was
sitting in the hotel (the Sims House)
ruminating, in all probability, upon
the full house he was to have, when
stranger entered the room, with. a
bill for the evenings performance in
his hand.

of theatricals, but never had the op-
portunity of seeing 'Richard ILL.,"
Every well, sir, come tonight"
"Unfortunately, leave town this
evening by the 6:45 train Now,how
much money will induce your COM
pany to play 'Richard III for me
this afternoon?"
Foster thinking the stranger was
joking, replied that he would do it
for twenty-five dollars.
The stranger looked at the bill
again, and inquired what would be
the extra charge for the "Rougll
Diamond"
TO carry out the joke, Foster re
piled ten dollars. To his surprise
the stranger "pulled his weasel,'
counted out thirty-five dollars, and

From an Olympia correspondence.
dated the 10th inst, We extract the
following choice morsel, which the
gentlemen mostly interested can roll
under their tongues at leisure:
Near the close of the session q
resolution was adopted providing
that no bill should he introduced in
either house to which objection was
made. This was done to expedite
legislation, and prevent the passage
of frivolous bills, of which many
were known to exist. On the heels
of this resolution the proprietor Of
the IntelHgencer, assisted by his
man Friday, who held a subordin-
ate position in the Legislature, ap-
peared in person at the capital with
a prepared bill, providing that the
hatelkgence, be declared the litigant
organ of King county; that all
notices whatever of legal nature
should be published in that paper,
and fixing rate for said publication.
This bill was placed in the hands OF
q member of the lower house from
your county, with instructions to
await the proper time, spring it upon
that body, and rush it through be-
fore the members had time for e.
Election. But you know there's
many slip 'twixt the cup and the
lip, and while this dishonest trans
action was eliminating, some friends
of the DISPATCH smelt a s'rat," and
when the ambitious member from
King moved to introduce the bill in
the lower house, Mr. Gregory, of
Walla Walla, who was on the alert
for him. objected, and of course
killed the motion. In all haste the
bill was carried to the Council,
where similar attempt was made to
introduce it, with the same result.
This sneaking attempt of the Intel
ligencer cabal to subvert Legislation
to their personal ends, met with such
unqualified disapproval from the
honorable members present, and
cast such odium on the principals
concerned, that one of them made
quick time back to your city, and
the others, for the balance of the
session, had little to say.
We are not surprised at the above
development of an attempt made by
the lnteligencer crew to subvert leg
islation to their own ends. The
natural instincts of some men lead
them in the direction of trickery
and meanness with the same unerr-
ing certainty that the duck follows
the water course.

FAST. Last evening some ladies
stepped into store and told the pro-
prietor that a little boy was lying on
the sidewalk tied SO he could not
rise. and crying. The gentleman
went to the boy and found him
drunk. He was taken inside, and
an older brother was sent for, who
carried him home. From what
could be gathered by talking with
the boy and his companions it seems
that a boy who is working on the
coal engine procured bottle of
liquor and told the little fellow, who
appeared to be IL or IL years of age,
he must drink some of it or take
whipping. Frightened by thethreat
he drank the liquor with the result
above stated. The boy on the engine
said he found the liquor behind
log.
p. s. S. N. Co.--As will be seen
by the new schedule of the above
company as it appears in our adver-
tising columns, Tacoma is now the
up Sound terminus of the line.
This leaving of Olympia out is
caused by a difference between the
postmaster at that place, and the.
company.

An EXPLANATION.
UrsALADY, Nov. 6 h, 1877

O1cAAAD1, NOV. U II, 1C0.
To THE EDITOR OF THE DISPATCH:
Reading an article in your paper
of October 9th: clipped from the
Port Townsend Press, concerning
the Cranney bankrupt case, charg-
ing certain party with attempting
to put through the court fraudu-
lent claim of some $500, but was
detected in his little game, and the
proper officers cut it down to $3.50,
his just DUE" and furthermore this
certain party is charged in general
terms as correspondent of the In
teltigencer from Utsalady, rejecting
in severe terms on the management
of the Cranney bankrupt case, on the
court and all connected Herewith.
These reckless and false charges
going the rounds of the public press
filed me with grievous surprise and
Indignation. For these general
charges was the first intimation that
I had received that my claims had
been cut down to the paltry sum of
$3.50 for nearly two years service and
money advanced in the capacity of a
book keeper for a numbering firm of
this magnitude. The claim 1 filed
for was an honest and just one, and
what I was allowed at the time. Iau-
thorized Judge Dennison to act as
my attorney, and collect for 10 per
cent. Furthermore I have a bill of
sale of spars and lumber given me
some time prior to the attachment or
the confirmation of the concern in
bankruptcy, agregating the amount
I filed for, but surrendered the same
back when the concern went into
bankruptcy. Does this look like
perpetrating a fraud? And should
this not prove sufficient evidence to
convince the public or interested
parties, that the charge of fraud is
false and malicious, and the cutting
down of a just claim to that degree,
the hight of injustice, and without
parallel in equity, I can produce
still stronger. And as to the other
general charge of being the author
of a communication to the weekly
Mtelhgencer, rejecting upon the
management of this complicated
bankrupt case, is adding insult to in
jury, for the writer has never written
a word to that paper, or any other,
concerning this case, and have once
written to the editor earnestly beg
ging him to make repartion for the
damage done the writer, by disclos-
ing and publishing the author, but
as yet have received no response
and can conceive no better way to
refute the charge than through the
DISPATCH, trusting you will publish
this statement in your next issue,
and relieve an honest man from the
odium of fraud. Yours respectfully,
VIM. r. GRIFFIN.
Late book keeper of Granger &
Canney.

"A NEW OIEAMEh.-h pTlVaGe 1cttcI
received from San Francisco last
night says there is strong proba-
bility that the staunch and elegant
steamer Mohongo will shortly be
put on the route between that port
and Seattle, in place of the Alaska.
Our correspondent says that the Mo-
hongo is being fitted up in first
class style. We have received no
intimation of the expected change
from Agent Tibbals and merely give
the report for what it is worth.
Should the charge be made we pre-
sumo Capt. Seabury will command

Cold WINTER PREDICTED.-The
Portland Standard says: deer and
elk have made their appearance in
the foot hills and valleys at a much
earlier period than usual, which to
the old mountaineer, augurs cold
winter. The deer especially are said
to be more numerous and in better
condition than year before"

A CORRESPONDENT writes to the
DISPATCH asking the best remedy
for corns. In our opinion the best
way for him to cure his corns is to
get some one to tread on them, then
knock the treader down, and allow
himself to be shot by the recumbent
man. This is happy reliet.

The London Times does not think
the remonetization report of the ma
iority of the Silver Commission will
have much effect. The influence this
report had upon prices Of American
securities in London is thus spoken Of
by the Times of the 22d ult. "Unit-
ed States funds are steady, and there
have been large buying orders filed
to-day at the highest quotations.
We are informed that the Congress
sional Committee, whose report scar
ed the market temporarily last night,
is no new body, but the old Silver
Committee of last year, which is
composed of three 'inAationists' or
silver-currency men and two adher-,
ents of the gold-stsndard policy.
The report telegraphed about is not
thought to have any value at all,
therefore, and leading American
houses here do not believe that Con-
gress will in any way upset existing
understandings as again and again
made clear by the declarations of the
Executive. Whatever dispute there
may be among rival factions in
America over the question Of gold or
silver or both, it is believed that the
debt of the United States will always
be paid, principal and interest, in
gold alone. The report of the 'Bo-
nanza' ring, for such it was, had, in
short, no effect whatever in the
States"
