SKIPPING COMMISSIONER.

There should be u s. Shipping

Townsend, 30 that when any one of the
many ships that are loading a. Seattle
happen to want . seaman. the papers
can b. signed here instead Of having to
incur the heavy expense Of taking the
vessel to Port Townsend For instance,
there are now loading and waiting for
cargoes in this port ton large vessels,
besides five or six at Port Blskeiy and
four at Port Madison. all within few
miles of this place. To be sure vessels
sailing coast wise do not have to sign
their men before U. 8. Shipping Com
missioner. but all seamsn going around
the horn. even if they are bound to
American ports have to sign before o
U. 8. Shipping Commissioner. We
hear complaints loud and strong against
the inconvenience 1t present attaching
to this shipping business. In the case of
the ship Brown Brothers, for instance.
she had engaged while at Madison
eight seamen At $50 per month.
and &. h. Brown. rs Deputy Inspector,
had promised to come there and sign
them, bat on the day he was to come.
tho Captain received . letter from .
mercantile house that owing to the i'm
portanoe Of Mr.. Browns duties be could
not ~ spared from tho Castomhouse.
The Captain received telegram from
Victoria in the meantime saying tina,
be could have all the men he wanted
1t go and they would he in Port

with ten men. The ship was towed
into Port Townsend with her eight men
procured 1t Seattle. The Victoria men
were allowed to land frat ct Port
Townsend. While their things were
hsing put on board the ship. and
while on shore these men were in.
huenoed to hold ont for $40 and as psr
uoath. thinking thereby they would
get the rsshipping of the men
and detain the ship. Four OF
the men from the ship were
also Induced to strike for higher

the Captain only four men. He got %

A Big Invention.

A patent has just been granted Loring
Pickering, one of the editors and proprie-
tors of the EUening Bulletin and Morn
ina CAL, of San Francisco, for meth
cd of rapid telegraphing of fac SMILES of
stereotype plates. 1t is claimed that by
the process an entire page of newspaper
can be transmitted by telegraph in from
fifteen to thirty minutes, delivering the
copy directly from the instrument in
such form that it can be handed imme-
diately to the printers. In other words
the copy will be a substantial reproduc-
ton of the original except that it may be
given in larger sized letters if 80 desired.
The stereotype requires no preparation
for the purpose of telegraphic transmits
sion other than the filling of it's depres-
sions or spaces between the faces of the
letter with a non-conducting substance,
which may be quickly applied, the faces
of the type being left clean by means Of
an equally simple process. The plate
thus prepared is placed upon a cylinder,
arranged to revolve rapidly, so as to pre-
sent each successive letter to fingers at
tached to the travelling frame. AS the
cylinder bearing the plate revolves, the
frame gradually advances by the opera
ton of screw, and thus each and every
line is successfully presented to the
fingers or magnetic points mentioned.
Necessarily the circuit is open when the
points are passing over the non-conduct-
ing surface, but as often as the metal
type presents itself to said fingers the
circuit is closed, and the corresponding
magnetic points or pens at the receiving
station make the record there on the
same letter as the original, delineated in
a series of fine lines, either upon chemi.
cally prepared or ordinary paper fixed
on a corresponding cylinder at said re-
ceiving station.

A Burglars Terrible Fate.

AT about half-past II o'clock last
night, as Mr.. Casper Kuhn was ap-
preaching the store of Miss Mary Kuhn,
his sister, on North Summer street, near
Monroe, be noticed that the gas lamps
on each side of the building had been
turned down. This aroused his suspi-
cions. He had no sooner entered the
yard than he saw man trying to bore
through one of the shutters. Mr.. Kuhn
at once opened fire, and the burglar
dashed out of the gate and along North
Summer street. The pistol-shot had
not been heard by policemen Broderick
and Tindall who were near the corner OF
Monroe and North Summer streets.
AS the burglar came dashing along, Of
fcer Broderick ordered him to halt, and,
the command not being obeyed, fol-
lowed it with shot. The man was then
about ten yards off, and, as he came up,
was collared by the two policemen.
The officers had hardly Gghtened their
grip upon the prisoner before, as If by
magic, they were surrounded by thirty
or forty excited men. How they got
there so quickly, the policemen say, is a
puzzle to them. One of them, who had
a handkerchief tied over the upper part
of his face, said, fercely: "This man
is our meat" "No," put in Broderick,
she is ours you must not interfere with
officers of the law" "Give him to us,
or you are dead men," demanded the
unknown, and, as he spoke, his pistol
was poked into Brodericks face. The
officers saw that resistance was useless
they were overpowered, and understood
that the crowd meant business.
In half the time it takes to write this,
rope was thrown over the burglar s
head, and he was dragged off along
North Summer, then down Madison
street to the river. DIR. Haggard fol-
lowed the lynchers, but was warned of
when he reached the bluff. He distinct
ly heard loud shrek, q splash, and
then all was quiet. The burglar had
met his fate in the Cumberland. Nash

The Burned City Of st. John.

Canada, during the past few weeks,
seems to have been specially unfortunate
in the losses of towns by fire, butthe st.
John conhagration is the most serious
of all, as the destruction was complete.
In the other localities something was
left: in this, all the business and half the
residence was lost. 1t must prove very
disastrous blow not only to the city it
self, but also to the business interests of
New Brunswick, as il is the most import
ant commercial city in that part OF the
Canadian Dominion, and is the center of
q large trade with Portland and Boston
on the one hand by steamers, and with
Halifax on the other by rail. It's chief
export is Of lumber, which finds its way
to Great Britain, the West Indies, and
the United States. It is also a ship
building center, and, as a manufacturing
city, possesses considerable Importance.
It's business relations with Boston are
very intimate-so much 80, in fact, that
many Americans have gone there and
opened business, and are now among
the heaviest losers. The harbor of st.
John is one of the finest on the Ameri-
can continent The city, including its
suburbs, has q population of nearly, il
not quite, $4,000. 1t is-or was until
nearly obliterated by fre-a well-built

streets, running at right angles, lighted

the United States at the close of the
Revolutionary war. 1t was chartered in

Hobart Pasha.

/ saw ut the hotel last night Admiral
Hobart Pasha, the real life and heart of
the Ottoman navy. He called to pay his
respects to Capt. Gambler, of the navy,
now of the Times corps of correspond
ents, and former chum. He is a man
certainly 80 years of age. He is rather
short in stature, but compactly built and
1.-the in his movements. He was dressed
last night in plain black suit, buttoned-
up frock coat, and he wore the simple
red fez which is the indispensable ad-
junct of the Turkish official. He carried
in his hand little stick, sort of dog
whipper. His complexion is sallow, his
whiskers are gray and stubbly, his hair,
which grows well down his neck, il
tinged with silver, and his tout ensemble
is that of well-conditioned Pasha. No
one passing him in the street would sus-
pect his English origin, the orange color
of the face and the fez effectually hiding
the traces of Anglo-Saxon blood and
breeding. There was n depressed look
about his gray eyes. His manner is
short, abrupt and full of nervous energy.
In conversation you have scarcely
finished sentence before he is ready
with his reply. should take him for a
man of wonderful executive ability, but
then his naval training and years of arbi-
trary will may give him that seeming de-
cision of character which so promptly
captivates all men. --COnstantin0pte

About Kissing.

It is not considered a la mode for a
lady to bestow a kiss upon one of the
rougher sex, except in leap year, when,
according to theory, if not to the uses of
strict etiquette and propriety, we are
told it is excusable. Our fair friends,
however, with few exceptions are not by
any means without partially for this
method Of salutation, and we have heard
young gentlemen loud in their COM
plants about the tantalizing practice of
ladies' kissing babies and one another in
the presence of gentlemen, who long
themselves to be so favored. 1t is Moore,
we think, who sings thus:
81 never give kiss" says Prue,
"To naughty man, for abhor it,"
She will not gire kiss tits true
She'll take one, though and thank you for it
The only animal that knows ho,o to
kiss is man. Dogs lick their masters
and bears their ragged cubs, cats their
kittens, while donkeys and the Esqui-
maux rub noses, cows and horses fondle
each others necks and heads; love-birds,
pigeons, and other birds, nestle together,
and have methods of their own of show
ing affection peculiar to each, but none
of these creatures kiss. Even low-class
savages do not kiss like civilized men; so
that we may take this habit and function
10 be actual evidence of intellect and CIV
ilization, which is pleasant idea at any
rate. Journal for Juty.

Split Away.

81 should like n OYSTER" said Will
lam Dhscoll, rather well-dressed but
intoxicsed young man, last Wednesday
evening, as he staggered up to the coun-
ter OF an oyster-saloon in Seventh
avenue.

stood behind the counter hammering the
bivalves

brow, the splitter laid down his weapon

Certainly take the rest that's what
I'll do; spit away, young Teller !"
But, said Henry, hesitating "sup-
pose you pay me 81 on account, you
know"
William then became angry he threw
oyster-shelhat Henry and kicked up a
tremendous row. A policeman was
called, and the registering oyster-de-
stroyer was locked up in a cell. In an
hour Henry was avenged-William
howled for a Doctor; his supper did not

Editorial Bulls.

Editors of newspapers have good
deal of fun over queer expressions In
copy that comes before them, for re-
porters are compelled to write so hur-
riedly that they frequently compose SEN
fences that are extremely funny.
A reporter once gravely stated that an
inquest had been held over child
which twas one of pair of triplets -
a statement that was almost as confusing
as the assertion regarding dead man,
"that the places that knew him so long
have known him no more ever since.
A writer was once ordered to write an
article on an approaching election, and
he announced that the "polls would be
only open between the hours of shutdown
and sunset" which was rather short no.
tice for the voters.
Another, in describing shooting
scrape," stated that the wounded man
had been hit by ball in the head
"near the corner of Broadway and
Twenty-ffth street" That was as puz-
zling problem in phrenology as the
anatomical one contained in the state
ment that Dennis O'Rafferty had been
wounded in the forearm near the left
shoulder"
Quite recently an evening paper
stated that President Hayes went to
Senator Sherman's residence on his ar
rival in Washington, "where a substan-
tial breakfast and several Of his init
mate friends had been prepared for
him." A cannibal President is not a
very cheerful prospect for the office
seekers. Another paper stated that the
new President had privately taken the
oath of office in the presence of Chief
Justice Waite. President Grant and Mr..
Fish, Vho aUere absent. Now who were
sbsent or who were present on that occa-
son must remain mystery forever.
A police reporter, in concluding his
account of dreadful murder, made the
Astonishing statement that I" the victim
Expired before making an ante-naOrten1
shtement.
Another knight of the pencil, in writ
! ing on the ice question, declared that
CAS- for the thousand and one carts that
: goabout the city peddling ice under the
! names of the Crystal Ice Company, etc.
they have no existence except on the
sids of the wagons" Now what had
: no existence, the carts or the companies,
: it isof course impossible to decide.
But reporters are not alone in making
funny sentences, for at "A recent Spiritual
. lists meeting in this city a medium rose
: and aid he "was prepared to nail every
skeptc to the masthead" Unless to
!, say tat no skeptic presented himself fol-
the execution of the direful threat.
