The SUCCESS. This tidy little

packet, so well known to those who
visit Port Blakely, is having her
finishing touches put on at Ham
mond's ways. She has had her
boiler overhauled, her engines taken
apart and all the joints repacked,
and a coat of copper paint on her
bottom, while her upper works are
"spick and span" She will resume
her trips on Saturday, after which
we hope to have our papers deliv-,
cred more promptly than has been
the case for the past ten days.
However, we cannot sit up till two
o'clock in the morning to write up
paper, and then run around the
wharves to hunt boatmen. We
shall be glad to see the Success
ahoat once more.
CozY OFFICE. Judge Sslye has
fitted up the street floor of one of
Matthias buildings on Washington
street and holds the scales of the
blind goddess for the benefit of iti-
gants. Kirk G. Ward, who has
charge of our city routes, may also be
found there. He is capital col
lector and brim-full of energy.
The appearance of the room carries
us back to John P. Jones Justice
Court in Weaverville, in the palmy
days when the future bonanza
statesman used to dispose of inebri-
ates by platoons, with the summary
remark, 'Fine him five dollars and
take him away"
A FAST KITE.-The Mail says that
the little schooner Undipe, which
came here from Whatcom about two
months ago. went home from Seat
tie to Whatcom, 100 miles, in %
hours. 1t also says she went from
Point Williams to Poe's point in As
minutes-a distance of II miles.
Whenever Auanias or Sapphira
come to life and want a job, we'll
hire 'em to run a schooner on the
lower Sound. Sixteen miles per hour
in lotion schooner is rather Mum
chausen-ish, you know. Val Wild
man says the club is open to mem
bers from Bellingham Bay, as we'll
as Seattle.
New BUsINEss.-Among the di-
rectors of the new artificial stone
company, is O. J. McCausland, at
one time foreman Of the Port Blake
ly mills. He is driving man and
well calculated to advance the in
terest of any company with whom
he may become identified.
GROwING.-This clear, warm wea-
ther, is the kind to help workers
out of doors. At the foot of Seneca
street, the new wharf of Maddox &
Stewart is growing rapidly, the con-
tractors sending the work along
with real Yankee energy.
ENGLISH OPERA TROUPE. - Jack
Levy received letter from George

ming on the George W. Elder.

and Henry l.. Yesler yesterday pur-

G. Campbell, the entire right to

ferscn county alone excepted.
APPoINTMENT.--D. w. Selye, J.
P, was appointed to take charge of
all the city cases, last night, by the
Common Council, the vote being
five to one. This virtually estab-
fishes him as Police Judge.
DROPPED Our Ship Washington
Libby, having loaded her lower hold
with Seattle coal, dropped out into
the stream yesterday and will haul
into the Renton bunkers this morn
ing to load her upper hold.
CoMING.-We notice among the
