A Dead Shot.

William Spencer, alias Oregon Bill, is
in many respects remarkable man. His
birth place is Port Natal, South Africa,
and he has hardly yet reached 40. He
was at sea for years, and during the time
distinguished himself for his bravery in
two engagements with pirates on the coast
of Africa. He participated with credit
to himself in the last war with Russia,
and was present at the fall of Balaklava
From 1860 to 1865 he was an Indian fight
err on the frontier of Kansas and Texas,
and in an engagement with the red men,
on an occasion in which the whites were
victorious, after bloody hand-to-hand
fight, he is said to have killed seven war
riors with his pistol and bowie knife. In
Portland, Oregon, he had friend, John
OMadigan, now of this city. While
O'Madigan was walking along the street
smoking his pipe, and at distance of
ten feet, and at about right angle, Bill
suddenly drew his pistol and fired, the
ball taking the pipe from the mouth of
his friend, but doing him no harm. Again,
last fall, Bill was in Lake City with deer
for sale, and seeing his old friend, O'Mad-
igau, passing up the same street on the
opposite side, he called to him to stop.
When he had drawn his revolver, John
did SO, facing him at the time. Bill fired,
and the ball passed through the top of
the hat of his friend. O'Madigan, in the
best of humor, called out: "Bill, don't
shoot any more; it is too close. "--Dsnrer

Obstructin0 Nature,

Instead of aiding her in her efforts to recu-
perate, is obviously not the way to get well
when one is sick. Yet this is precisely the
course pursued-of course unwittingly-by
persons who are continually dosing them
selves with powerful mineral drugs for some
malady with which they are afflicted. Such
baneful medcaments rather tend TO retard
recovery than to hasten it, How much more
sensible are they who employ the gently act
ing but thoroughly efficient restorative, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which, unlike the
drugs referred to, is eminently wholesome
and safe; and instead of injurng, improves
the tone Of the stomach and recreates health
and vigor in the broken-down system. Indi-
gestion, liver complaint, constipation, kidney
and bladder ailments, and rheumatism, yield
TO its corrective influence, and 1t is the rem
edy and preventive par excellence for inter
mttent and remittent fevers and other dis
orders bred by miasma tainted air and water
1t is, moreover, superb appetizer.

WISE MAXIMs.-Mr. John McDonough,
the New Orleans millionaire, had en-
graved on his tombstone series of max
inns which he had prescribed as the rules
for his guidance through life, and to
which his success was mainly attribu-
table:
Remember always that labor is one of
the conditions of existence.
Time is gold; throw not one minute
away, but place each one to account.
Do unto all men as you would be done
by.
Never think any matter so trifling as
not to deserve notice.
Never give out that which does not
first come in.
Let the greatest order regulate the
transactions of your life.
Study in the course of your life to do
the greatest amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort, but live in an honor
able simplicity and regularity.
Labor, then, to the last moment of
your existence.

After Wild Honey.

The senses of the bees are very acute.
BY the aid of smell they find the sweet
est flowers, and thus the delicate cleanli-
ness of the hiveis preserved. While GER
tain odors are very attractive to them,
others are excessively repugnant. This
fondness for certain perfumes is used by
bee-hunters in discovering the nests of
wild bees. When wild bees are seen
lettering around, an upright stake, to the
upper end of which is attached a small
horizontal Platforms planted somewhere
near; on this platform is placed bit of
full comb, and in front of tits suspended an
open phial of annis, an odor they par
ticularly love. To expedite matters, one
of the strange bees is frequently cap
tured by inverting over the flower from
which it is sucking a small cylinder with
glass over the end. The bee flies up to
the lighted end; the lower part is covered
with the hand, and the cylinder placed
over the honey-comb on the platform. AS
soon as the cylinder is darkened, by put
ting something over the top, the bee goes
down to the honey and fills its honey
sac. When fully gOrged, it is released ;
bee, with its honey-sac filled, always
makes "bee-line" for the hive. When
the load of stolen sweets is deposited,
the little pilferer comes back-usually
with a companion-guided by the scent
of annis; both alight on the platform,
and are held in mild captivity till they
are filled. One is then released, the
direction it takes is noted; the stake is
then carried to some distance to the right
or the left Of its former position, and
the second bee released. The point at
which the two "bee-lines" cut each other
is the position of the nest.-Mrs. S. b.
Herrick, IN Scribner.

Our Hotels" International"

The hotel proprietors OF our city, from
motives of pride or modesty, are too sensi-
tive TO set forth the advantages peculiar TO
their establishments, and the transient visit
ors come here notwithstanding the numer-
Gus hotels, good, bad or Indifferent, and know
not exactly where "to lay their heads" Such
back wardness TO define their position and abil-
ity To serve the public wants we believe TO be
unwise, and il causes many Inconvenience TO
strangers, more especially men of business,
TO whom time is money, and who should be
able TO secure all the comforts, together with
a central location, that they may transact
their business. The prevailing fashion OF
the age, both in this and other civilized
countries, is, even as matter OF personal
interest to make ones self known. The
density of population, the intense spirit OF
rivalry, the increased roar, hustle aud confu-
sion of all communities are nowadays such
that il is both the policy and the duty of all
business men 10 have their claim to the pub
lie respect and appreciation truthfully and
sufficiently noted.
BY way OF preface, let us consider what merits
in hotel entitle ii 10 the appellation OF one
OF the best Among those merits IN the esti-
nation OF all classes OF business men is cen
trail location convenient 10 the business cen
ter, where the pulsation OF its mighty heart
is felt and seen all about them, convenient
TO the postofiice exchange, city buildings,
banks, churches, principal railway and steam
boat lines, theaters and places of amusement
so situated as TO have none but clean sur
roundngs, TO afford fresh air, e tc.; It's tables
must be supplied with everything In season,
its meal hours extend from early in the morn
ing until late a; night, II must possess i'm
mediate access by several means 10 the street
in case of fire, in addition 10 its night watch
men and fire extinguishers.
The International Hotel, San Francisco, OF
which Mr.. II. c. Partridge Is the proprietor, in
these respects, we are pleased 10 record, is
faultless. The hotel was founded in 1854 and
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1877-12-06

has always maintained high reputation. 1t
was rebuilt in 1873 under the superintend-
eDce of his present proprietor, Mr.. III. Z. Pat
ridge, and what he does not know about ho-
tel is hardly worth knowing.
The international is conveniently located,
on the corner Of Kearny and Jackson streets,
with the entrance on kearny, and is in the
very heart and center of this metropolitan
city, kearny street being the finest and best
business street in the city. The hotel is with
in one block of the Postoffice, Custom House,
U. s. Land Office and City Hall, with the best
variety theater directly in front. 1t is in
every way one of the finest family hotels in
San Francisco, considering the moderation
of its charges. 1t contains about $50 rooms,
all elegantly furnished and with all the mod
ern appliances to comfort, and has accom-
mediation for $50 guests. The building is
three STORIES brick built and an ornament
to the city. The dining room is on the sec
ond floor, so that families need not travel up
and down stairs to their meals. The table is
always supplied bountifuly with everything
of the best in San Francisco and is second to
no hotel in the city. Two Concord coaches
with the name OF the hotel on are always in
waiting on the trains and boats to convey
passengers to the hotel free, and considering
the accommodation given and facilities of
fered the prices charged are wonderfully
low, being not more for board and room than
from j 80 to 50 90 per day, Il figure that we
venture to say cannot be beat by any re-
spectacle hotel in San Francisco. 1t is always
the pleasure of THE COMMERCIAL to supply
its patrons, both in the country and city,
with the most reliable intelligence Of the
best business houses in the city of San Fran
CISCO always making careful enquiries be-
fore we place anything before our numerous
readers, aud in this connection it gives us
pleasure to recommend the International
Hotel, knowing it thoroughly fills the bill, as
we have written. The international Hotel
is quite feature on Kearny street, having a
frontage Of 1919 feet with 12OSeet Oh Jack
son street. Altogether we were much
pleased with our visit to this tirst-class hotel
and tender its gentlemanly and enterprising
proprietor, Mr.. H. c. Partridge, thanks for
courtesies received.-S. +. Commercial.

DURING the last twenty years England

according to the report of Mr.. Stephen
Bourne of Her Majesty's Customs-S10,-
OOO,OOO,OOO. The report states that each
member of the community now con-
sumes to the value of two and a-half

twenty years ago. With this immense

in few years be reduced to penury,
were it not for the immense sums of
money paid her as interest.

was soon after the failure of the Bank
of Pennsylvania. and public confidence
in all moneyed institutions was badly
shaken. Savings funds especially felt
the shock. Well, a rumor had gone
abroad about the Savings Fund then
located in the building at the southeast
corner of Third and Chestnut Streets,
where the Western Union Telegraph of

were mostly Germans, in small amounts.
Dudley had told me he, had $500 depos-

on the bank | called on the President as
a newspaper man to make inquiries.
Dudley hadn't got down town yet, but
some of the newsboys started for his
house to notify him, while others gath
cred in the crowd. All were Us much
interested as himself in his finances. a
failure of the bank meant 4 stoppage of

Savings Fund was in condition to 90
