THr Os,1Yx.-This ancient and

respectable bark arrived here yester-
day after q lingering passage Of some
twenty-eight days from-.the Cslifor-
mia metropolis. At these times
when coal charters are low, Capt.
Sanders always carries big stock
Of harpoons and bomb.lances. If
he falls in with school of whales,
over goes his boats at the cry Of
"there she blows" and he keeps
cutting in" till he gets enough oil
to pay of his crew in Seattle and
take Capt. Sam Blair to the Cliff
House on his return. He is now
unloading ballast at the s. G. & T.
Co.'S wharf and as soon as he sells
his oil he is going to give a big
blow-outAt the Saddle Rock" with
oysters on the half shell and fried
whales on toast. That's oil right,
old man.
THATLEcTURE.-Weneed something
like police regulations to make the
youthful hoodlums behave them
selves when exhibitions are given
here. The behavior of the gang at
Yesler's Hall, last Saturday night,
was a stupid affair; there was no
charge at the doors and all that peo-
pie had to do was to walk off quietly
if they did not like it. Mr.. Allison
paid rent for the hall and paid for
printing his bills, so he was at least
entitled to the protection of the law.
1t n ~ have been q stupid show but
no one was bound to listen to it.
The EATALANTA.-S Steamer Yakima,
from Port Gamble, darted in here
through the fog of last Sunday
morning and towed out the Atalanta
with some l 400 tons of Talbot coal.
The barkentine Malay is fully due
here to-day and the brig North Star
should have been here before this.
Mr.. Collins will load the Dakota
first, before attempting to fill either
of these vessels.
NORTH PACIFIC. - This steamer
struck log on the passage over
from Victoria on Friday night last,
and went up to Tacoma where she
was hauled out on Stars gridiron
and her fo1e-foot repaired. This
delayed her a good deal and she did
not reach here till yesterday at P.
NJ, when she lay at the wharf an
hour and then left for Victoria with
about forty passengers.
PREMATURE.---The story of Capt.
Thos. Brennan being the future
commander of the steamer Isabel,
depends altogether upon the passage
of a bill before Congress, to create a
mail route between Port Townsend
and Fort Wrangle. He is good
officer and Capt. Starr knows it as
we'll as anybody.
BENED1cTED.---Among the passen-
gers by the Dakota was George D.
Shannon, we'll known about Kalama,
and Tacoma in the palmy days of
the Northern Pacific Railroad. He
has brought back with him a wife
and we welcome him back, with his
bride, to Gods country.
PAINTING Ur. The recent lull in
coal shipments, occasioned by the
non-arrivnl of the coal fleet, has CIV
en- Capt. Taylor a chance to over.
haul the steamers Addie and Lena
G. Gray which have been neatly re-
painted.
DIVORCES. The following unlim-
bered connubialities have been ac-
complished by the present term of
District Court: G. G.. Hubbard from
F. A. Hubbard, Elizabeth Rhinehei-
mer from Henry Rhineheimer, and
L. S. Smith from Anna Smith.
SHAKESPEARE CLUB.--This society
met at DR.. Weeds last night and
read Hamlet. The association
has already over twenty members.
Their next reading takes place on
the 10Th and will embrace the "Mer-
chant of Venice"
Ivy CLUB.-This association will

day morning.
