swine are Kept. This we believe to
be contrary to the good health of the
city and urge that steps should at
once be taken to abate the nuisance.
Of course, if a man has a restaurant
or hotel, couple of pigs will eat
up great deal of what would other
wise 60 to waste; but they also emit
an odor that is not the most CRATE
full to the nose of regular boarder.
We think it is stretching the limits
of courtesy quite enough to allow
man to keep a COW within the limits
of a place as large as this, to say
nothing of swine. If our Common
Council mean to make a city OUT of
Seattle, let them forbid garbage to
be thrown in the Streets; prohibit
swine to be kept within certain pre-
scribed limits; and punish every sa-
loon keeper who allows squaw to
darken his doors. Then, and not
till then, can we hope to have per-
fectly healthy city. AS long as we
stick to the fashions of Fraser river
days; as long as we allow piggeries,
Chinese wash-houses and squaw
brothels in the midst of this city,
just so long we may look for dip
iberia, typhoid fever and every other
complaint arising from bad air and
the contagion of smells that are pes
tilential.
A Coop JoKE.-Some wag who
loves his fun and puts it to practical
use, got in his work at the Occi-
dental Hotel, where he walked in
and signed the name of "Thomas
Mast, New York, upon the register.
This was published, next morning,
in our list of arrivals and by nine
o'clock a score of men had visited
the hotel in search of the caricatur-
ist. The clerk mentioned that Mr..
Mast had just stepped out, in COM
pany with Harry Alger, of the
"Grotto;" when the sight-seers had
reached the "Grotto," they were
told that Mr.. Mast had just gone to
the Bank Exchange, to interview
William Clancy and by the time
they reached there, Mr.. Clancy
was exceedingly sorry to inform
them that Mr.. Mast had just gone
away with William Lawrence and
would probably be found at "the
Office" So everybody got passed
around and there was hardly any
body but had their fun out of it,
So They Go.-The way that the
old-timers are handing in their ivor-
les at the matrimonial bank, is
caution to the census marshals. The
latest victim to the snare of Hymen,
is the plump and rosy Sheriff of
Snohomish county, who was captur-
ed by Miss Melvina Hartsock, of
Olympia. The young lady, having
been bred to "the art preservative,"
had no difficulty in making an i'm
preston upon the susceptible heart
of Benjamin.
SEABEcK. There are three barks
at Seabeck, the Cassandra Adams,
Oregon and Columbia. The two
first have nearly completed their

mand of Capt. Johnson, from whom
we received call yesterday while
he was on his way to Port Blakely.
REPA1RED.-The steamship City
of Panama, during her stay at Ma
naimo, had the broken blade taken
out of her propeller. and replaced
with a good one. She sailed yes
terday from Victoria for San Fran
cisco. Among her passengers were
Mrs T r Rohhins of this city and
General VIM. McMicken of Olympia
CHANGES Victor Tull has been
appointed second clerk in the Sur
veyor Generals office at Olympia,
0ice Mr.. Cowles, who has been pro-
noted to the chief clerkship made
vacant by the retirement of Pearson
who went east on the previous trip
of the Dakota.
The OTTER.-Capt. Starr has been
fortunate enough to charter the Ot-
ter to carry the mails between this
place and New Tacoma during the
time the Aida is laid up for her re-
pairs.
