HARRY MHIGGs.

Harry Meiggs. the railroad mAsna's
Of Peru. ia prostractsd with sickness.
and fears are entertained that he IL on
His death bed. This man committed .
great crime In the early days Of Califor.
mia, and was forced to dee from the
State. lie found . refuge In South
America. where his genius soon began
to make itself felt. He became hoh.
the chosen eampsnion and adviser Of
Kings and princes. A soon a. possi-
BILE he made restitution to everyone
whom no had wrongsd In California.
Surely no man could do moro than this.
He atonsd for his early indiserstions by
paying to his creditors the money he
had appropriated. with liberal interest.
Iu his homo In South America he has
dispensed the most lavish hospitality to
every citizen OF his country who has
visited him. lie was the poor mans
friend. a. wsli ~ the honorrd eompan-
ION u the wealthy and powerful ; u
no American over appealed to Harry
Msiey- for aid. without meeting a hearty
response.
And yet ihis noble man for the sins
of his youth. sins for which he hA.
a,oned a thousand fold. IL now dying In
exile in a foreign land. His eye can
look out upon tho broad Pacific, bat II
i. not tho Pacific which he loves. Il Is
not the entrance to the Golden Gate.
Hs ID surrounded by sympathizing and
loving frisnls. men and women who
hass learned to admire. not only the
genius Of the man. Harry Meiggs. but
the gentle. almost heavenly spirit Of
charity and good will to all humanity
which inspires him. But. however kind
and attentive these friends may he. the
heart Of the sick man must turn with
nm intense yoarning TO his native land.
which be is probably destined never to
SEQ again. and to the friends Of his
youth, from whom no has been forsv,r
severed by one act Of indiscrstion. 1t
is not q pleasant death To suffer in a far
OF land. and all the sympathy and ten.
der care Of his grateful admirers In
Peru cannot compensate poor Harry
Msiggs for tho loss Of his birthright In
the United States.
Tho Railroad King Of Peru has one

Western style of obituary.
"He was an open-hearted, high
minded man, generous in his i'm
pulses, warm in his habits and
noble wherever he found a friend
in need. He was whole-souled
man, and selfishness was foreign
to his glorious nature. OF late
years he has been in feeble health,
so that his friends feared that
the beautiful nature which made
their lives pleasant would not be
always for this coarse world. On
Thursday, at eleven A. NJ, he
fingered lightly and then fell in
to the arms of Death, he having
been for two weeks q victim OF
delirium tremens."

From. se.beck.
SBABEcK, October 81, 1877.

SBABECK, October 81, 1877.
To THE EDITOR OF THE DIsPArcH:
Mr.. Editor, a little more news
from Seabeck if you can find room
for it:
The bark Gen. Cobb arrived on
the 9th, bringing large invoice of
merchandise. She loads again for
San Francisco, as usual. The bark
Oregon will be ready for taking in
her cargo in few days, and is now
considered stronger and better
vessel than she has ever been since
the w. M. Co. has owned her. We
accepted an invitation the other day
from her Captain to go on board,
and were received with the greatest
kindness. So it will be plainly seen
that the little joker failed entirely
of his object in causing firs.-class
tragedy between the Captain and
ourselves.
We saw General Jameson in
town the other day, beating up
for recruits. He. offers quite a lib
eral bounty for those who desire to
join his ranks. It is rumored that
he has instructions from headquar-
ters to organize as large force as
possible, in order to invade and
capture as much territory as his
force can hold against all intruders.
The invaders, we are informed, pro-
pose to lay siege to considerable
territory in the neigbborhood of the
Skagit river this time.
Mr.. Hauptly. our successful cat
tie dealer and butcher, is making
improvements to his meat market.
This is another evidence of pros.
perity.
We have our regular, ped
dlers in town, the same as have been
in the habit of coming for the past
few years. The b'hoys seem to show
a livelier appreciation of eultus jew
elry peddlers than any others who
visit this town. Guess there must
be something in it more than they
usually find in peddlers.
There was quite large surprise
party the other evening at Mrs. Clay
sons. The young folks enjoyed
themselves hugely, and Mrs. G.
says that she can put up with such
agreeable surprises as often as par
ties choose to repeat them. c.
