THE PINNATED GROUSE
Or prairie chicken, is the great game
bird of the Columbia basin. The
vast bunch-grass plains between
Umatilla and Walla Walla, are full
of them at this season and, fattened
as they are upon the oily seeds of
that grass, they are most toothsome
to the epicure's palate. The Walla
Walla river debouches into the CO.
lumbia at Wallula and there is the
sportsman's elysium in the golden
hazes of September and October.
A party of four gentlemen in the
employ of the O. S. N. Company,
made match for basket of cham
payne, in 1870, to shoot these birds,
two men on each side,
FOR EIGHT HOURS.
They left Wallula at 8 A. NJ. and if
either party failed to get back by 4
P. M. that side lost the match. The
party which got in at $40 were con-

surprise, five minutes later, when
their opponents arrived with 81,

above slipping juleps in the bar room
of the "Palace" at San Francisco or
participating in clam-bakes at Santa

Local News.
From Daily Of Saturday.

From Daily Of Saturday.:
SEATTLE CoA1.-The largest ex-
port of coal from this place on any
single vessel, was made in June,
1875, by the ship Alaska, Capt. Tut
tie. The next largest will be that of
the Ell Dorado which finished her load
of 1888 tons of coal last night and
goes to sea this afternoon. As soon
as they get clear of her they will be-
gin to load the Washington Libby,
which will take about 400 tons less
than that of the Ell Dorado. The next
vessels due are the Harvest Home
and Commodore. We see that the
schooner Frithiof comes here, but
whether for coal or lumber we can
not say. She was built at Coos Bay
in 1874, by the owners of the Elida.
A STRONG FIRN.---A co-partner-
ship for the practice of law in all
the several courts-of this Territory,
has been formed under the firm
name of Larabee, Hall & Andrews.
Judge Larabee has the most expe-
rience, having been on the Illinois
bench for years; Mr.. Hall is the
most methodical of lawyers, and
never asks leave to amend his plead
ings; and as for Mr.. Andrews, he is
the best ''rustler" in the Territory
and can find business as fast as the
next man. We regard it as good
combination.
BADLY HURT.-From Justice D.
W. Selye, who returned from Port
Madison yesterday, we learn that
the bark Northwest is loading ship
knees at that place for San Francis
co. Yesterday, while employed on
this sort of work, the sings broke
and a knee fell into the bark's hold,
severely bruising one of the sailors.
His ribs on the right side are thought
to be broken and word was sent
hither for DR.. Weed to render sur
gical aid.
Co111s1oN.-The propeller Eta
White. now owned by Moody & Mel
son of Burrard Inlet, B. c., but at
one time the property of Capt. Will
hanson, of Freeport, collided with
the sloop Zephyr last Sunday NOR
ming. The crew, three in number,

went down almost instantly. The

cargoes of coal were shipped from
this port during the month of De-
cember, 1876: Steamship Dakota,
us tons; ship War Hawk, 1900;
schooner Courser, $50; bark Osmyn,
800; brig Levi Stevens, 800; bark
Lizzie Williams, 1880; bark Gem
of the Ocean, 1.050; bark Annie,
$50; bark Marmion, 1850; brig
North Star, 600. Total, 9,245. OF
this the Renton Coal Company
shipped 600 tons in the North Star;
$50 in the Annie, and $50 on the
Marmion, making a total Of 1000
tons. The remaining 7,645 tons
were shipped by the Seattle Coal
and Transportation Company. In
1875 a total of 7O,157 tons were
shipped hence, and in 1876 a total
of 1O3, ,521 tons, making the excess
of 33 1864 tons in favor of 1876.
| MARINE. -Barkentine Victor sail
ed from Port Gamble for the Sand
wich Islands on the 4th and the
schooner Panonia, with part of the
War Hawks cargo of coal, from Port
Discovery, on the same day; also the
barkentine r. K. Ham from Port
Blakely on the same day. Ship Ell
Dorado sailed hence with coal for
San Francisco yesterday. The Mary
Glover left Port Discovery on Tues
day last for San Francisco with a
cargo of lumber. . Barks Dublin
and General Cobb sailed from San
Francisco on Friday for Seabeck ;
and the David Hoadley for Port
Gamble. The only sea-going YES
sells now in this port are ship Wash
ington Libby and the schooner Clara
Light. The Jenny Pitts, at Free
port, has nearly completed her load
ing.
Coop IDEA.-The Tribune of last
night says that the closing of the
University will throw some forty
children into the public schools of
Seattle District; and suggests a re-
medy in the shape of High School,
similar to those in other cities, to
ease off the crowded condition of af-
fairs. 1t is good idea and, as the
teachers already have more pupils
than they can readily handle, we
cannot see otherwise than that bene-
fits to the pupils will accrue from
such change. Forty pupils to each
teacher, is an abundance; and any
thing over that, means pupils half
taught and teachers worked to
death.
| LICENSES. - During the year
which has just closed, Auditor Booth
issued 50 liquor licenses. So mar
riage licenses, 5 auctioneer licenses,
2 peddler's licenses, and 2 ferry
licenses. OF these there we're 80
licenses to sell liquor by wholesale,
retail and grocery. Of these SO
were to retail, to wholesale, and
"a to grocery. These licenses were
issued each for six months; the gro
Gerry ones paying $50 for that time,
the wholesale ones the same, seven
of the retail licenses 800 each for
that time, and forty three $3.50 each.
BEHIND TIME.-The Aida was q
trife behind time with the mails
last night, having been obliged to
go to some point above Tacoma for
a load of cattle which she transfer
red to the North Pacific at this point.
The latter vessel sails for Victoria
tomorrow with full load Of freight,
mostly live stock.

nifty. No animal will fail to respond to kind
ness and uniform good treatment. And es-
pecially will the noble horse respect and con.
fde in and faithfully serve master who
deals gently and kindly with him. We have
ourselves taken a spirited Morgan mare
which had been rudely handled and became
entirely unmanageable through harsh treat
ment, and, by appealing to her intelligence
and respecting her needs,in three weeks time
made her entirely safe and reliable for wife
and children, and all who would treat her
kindly and handle her gently and we have,
after five years, seen the same mare resume
her old vicious habits when again under the
control of one who resorted to arbitrary or
brutal treatment Always appeal to the bet

we'll as the dog and other domestic animals,

MILITARY EDUCATION.

1t was no doubt formerly true that the ex-
perience of actual war was necessary to make
good soldiers. In battles, when short range
firearms were used and in which the sabre
and bayonet played an important part, each
man naturally shrank from the personal con-
hicts which the use ofsuch arms rendered ne.
cessary. Experience in the use of their arms
and familiarity with such conflicts, were ne.
cessity before men could, with any certainty,
be brought to face them. But the invention
of breech.loading and long-range arms and
general education, have brought about a
change. Personal conflicts on the battlefield
are now of rare occurrence, and each soldier
feels confident that, understanding the use of
the modern weapon with which he is armed,
he Is the equal Of any opponent he may be
required to meet. The consciousness of power
which this individual self.reliance causes in
an army, needs no explanation. Recent Prus.
sian history affords an admirable example
that it is wise in time of peace to prepare for
war, and that the best soldiers can be made
of citizens who have never, perhaps, heard q
hostile shot, It teaches US, also, that by q
wise system of legislation, this preparation can
be had without the slightest Inference with
the business interests Of the country, and that
the citizen is made better citizen by being
taught the military duties be owes to his
country. A belief formerly existed that a
military organization was dangerous to our
liberties but that such belief has any real
ity now can scarcely be credited. The army
of the United States is in reality its volunteer
force cOmposed of its own citizens, and to be-
lieve that such an army can become danger
Gus to its country, is simply to believe that
the citizens composing it are no longer worthy
of the right of suffrage and incapable of eyer
cising the right with either patriotism or f.
deity. Ifthe institutions ofthe United States
are ever changed, so that our liberty is dimin-
ished or destroyed, such change will be
brought about by the corrupt suffrages of our
people, and this corruption will not be due to
any military organization which may have
been adopted, or previous military instruction
they may have received.-Galasy.

THE VANDERBILT WILL CASE.

In New York last week, IN his testimony
in the contest over the Vanderbilt will, DR..
Lindsey, the old Commodore's family physi.
clan, testified to bis physical injuries and all
ments. He testified that the Commodore was
suffering from heart disease, from hernia, from
hemorrhoids, from chronic cystitis, from dys.
pepsis, and from dropsy consequent upon the
heart disease; that on one occasion he was
very gravely injured in railroad accident,
having the ends of several fractured ribs
driven like daggers into his lungs, and that
the result of this hurt lasted 80 long that it
caused him severe pleuro pneumonia three
years later, and that he suffered from repeated
attacks of fever and agus.
Dr. Lindsey, during his testimony, related
that Mrs. Crawford, mother of Commodore
Vanderbilt's second wife, had at one time
urged the Commodore, in his presence, to see
his son Cornelius, who was then in the house
the Commodore then said: doctor, you 60
right down stairs and tell him to 60 out of
this house, and not to come here again while
I am living or after / am dead now Mrs.
Crawford, you go down with the Doctor and
see that he delivers the messages" the two
went down stairs but Cornelius had gone
away; the Commodore gave no reason for his
action, merely saying that he did not want
Cornelius in the house the occasion referred
to was in the month of July or August, 1876.
The Commodore said to the Doctor: Had 1
died in 1888 or 1886, or even 1854, the world
wouldn't know that ever lived but l think
1 have been spared to accomplish great
work which will remain, and l think have
fixed it 30 that it cannot be destroyed by the
stock market. If / had given my daughters
SO, 600, 900 or So OQ0 900 apiece, the frat thing
they would do would be to put William out
and Torrance in. The next thing they would
be quarreling among themselves, and their
stock would be thrown on the market until it
would not be worth 40. have secured Can
ada Southern 80 that nobody can injure the
road
DR.. Lindsey further testified: "Mr. Van
derbilt was less influenced by men around him
than any man ever knew. If he was inter-
rupted while relating anything, he would stop
and never say another word. have observed
that all his life be never would take sug-
gestion from anybody. If anybody asked
questions while he was talking, he would stop
short and say no more on that subject. He
had rarely heard him give direct answer to a
question. Witness admitted that he had heard
about Mrs. Vanderbilt being in lunatic
asylum il 1846" The Doctor was next asked
if he had not told DR.. Swayzy and Mr.. Perry
that he had often cautioned the Commodore
against riding out with lewd women, and that
the practice would get him into trouble. The
witness denied having ever made any such as
sertions.
It was widely rumored in New York, on
Thursday evening, that another and salts,
factory compromise of the Vanderbilt will
complications had been arranged. What the

A WIFE,s WONDERFUL ECONOMY.

We had been out to the graveyard to bury
Mrs. Pigeon, and we were riding home in the
carriage with the bereaved widower. While
he sopped his eyes with his handkerchief, he
told US about her:
"In one aspect never saw her equal. She
was manager. I've knowed that woman
that's lying out there in the tomb, to take an
old pair of trousers and cut them up for The
boys. She'd make a splendid suit Of clothes
for both of them out of them old pants, get
out stuff enough for coat for the baby and a
cap for Johnny, and have some left over for
rag carpet, besides making handkerchief
of the pockets and hustle for herself out Of
the other lnings Give her an old garment,
and it was as good as gold mine. Why
she'd take worn out sock and make brand
new overcoat out of it, I believe. She had
turn for that kind of economy. There's one
of my shirts that bought in 1S47, still going
about making itself useful as window curtains
aud pantalettes and plenty of other things.
Only last July our gridiron give out, and she
took it apart, and in two hours it was rugged
on the side of the house as splendid light
ming rod, all except what she had made into
poker and an ice-pick. Ingenious? Why,
she kept our family in buttons and whistles
out of the ham bones she saved, and she made
fifteen princely chicken coops from her old
hoopskirts, and pig pen out Of her used:uP
corset bones. She never wasted solitary
thing Let a cat die around our house, and
the first thing you knew Mary Jane'd have
mutf and set of furs, and I'd begin to find
mince pies on the dinner table. eNe'd stuff a
feather bed with the feathers that she got off
one little bit of a rooster, and she'd even util-
ize the reaches in the kitchen, so they'd run
the churn-had a machine she invented for
the purpose. I've seen her cook potato par
ings SOS you'd think they were canvass back
ducks and she had a way Of doctorng up
shavngs 80 that the pig'd eat 'em and grow
fat on 'em. ! believe that woman could build
four story hotel if you'd a given her SIN
gle pine board or a steamboat out of q wash
boiler, and the very last thing she said to me
was to bury her in the garden SOS she'd be
useful down below there, helping to shove up

the art of overlooking is quite as important.
And if We should take time to write down the
origin, progress, and outcome of few of our

INDUSTRIAL SEcRETs.-A century ago in.
ventors concealed their discoveries. Work.
men were put upon oath never to reveal the

MEN WITHOUT OccuPAT1oN.-Them man
who has nothing to do, is the most miserable
of beings. No matter how much wealth q
man possesses, he can be neither contented
nor happy, without occupation. We were
born to labor, and the world is our vineyard.
We can find field of usefulness almost any
where. In occupations We forget our cares,
our worldly trials, and our SORROWS. 1t keeps
us from constantly worrying and brooding
over what is inevitable. If we have enough
for ourselves, we can labor for the good of
others; and such task is one of the most
delightful duties worthy and good man can
possibly engage in.

in selfindulgence, in hurtful indulgence, was
spent in books or papers for selfimprovement,
