A PRIVATE letter from Dungeness says:
Do not expect much in the way of news
from here, place where the most graphic
subject of interest is the salmon run, or
the size Of this years potatoes. We live
just now in an atmosphere of new mown
hay. The barns swell with their scented
stores. A delightful look Of serenity and
peaceful life pervades some Of these farms.
I like farming, though l never had pen-
chant tor digging potatoas, other than by
proxy. AS l write fog bank advances
from the west and threatens soon to wrap
us in its humid folds, We have not had
much fog this season, though very con-
tinuous breeze from the westward, lthe
fog quarter,) has cooled us off through
thesultry months and made living quite
bearable. Mr.. Sharp, Ipresume, we will
see no more, as doubtless lie will be placed
on another circuit. The spiritual soil
down here is prolific in thorns. Social
questions also have their little cliques of
partizans and opposers.

The President sent to Chief JUS
tice Lewis the forged resignation
which created the hubbub three
months ago, and the latter handed it
to the Grand Jury. The writing is
undoubtedly that of we'll known
resident of this place, whose blatant
hypocrisy toward the Judge is of
that kind which Judas Iscariot prac-
tised upon our kissing
while betraying. But while there
is no room for doubt as to the au.
thenticity Of the one to Secretary
McTrary, there could be no other than
crcumstantial proof of it and the
Grand Jury on that could not con-
slider itself justified in indicting.

VICTORIA, Is. u, sept. l'th.
This morning we left Port Town
send, in company with a large party
of delegates and visitors to the
Grand Lodge of Good Templars, to
meet at this place tomorrow, hold
ing its regular annaal session.
Among those who came down the
Sound on the Annie Stewart, were
Hon. N. S. Porter, G. w. s., who
came from Olympia, also Miss Thomp'
son and Prof. w. II. Roberts, of the
same place; Mr.. and Mrs. Calvert
and Miss Bean, Of Seattle; Judge
Kennedy, Of Mason county, and
others from different parts OF the
Territory. Among those from Port
Townsend, were Hon. L. B. Hast
ings, P. G. w. G. T., and DIR. n. D.
Hill.
Taking the Isabel, we proceeded
across the "balmy straits" to our des
tination. After pleasant passage
Of about 81 hours, we landed and
were cordially received and welcomed
by the friends here. y. Shakespeare
Esq, G. w. G. T., did all in hi:
power to render our stay pleasant
planning visit on Thursday next to
the msn Of war Shah and other yes
sells now lying in Esquimalt harbor
The membership will perhaps go Ell
massc to see these vessels.
A grand celebration is to be held
this evening at Good Templars' Hall
in honor ofthe meeting OF the Grand
Lodge. The exercises will be main
ly of literary nature, consisting OF
readings, recitations, songs, etc, in
terspersed with speeches from prom
iuent Good Templars, principally
those from Washington Territory.
Since our last visit to this place
about three years ago, marked inn
provement may be noted; especially
an Improvement in the general ap
pearance of the town, its buildings,
etc, Figuratively speaking, the FIRST
generation Of the houses are passing
away among the things Of the past
and, while the hand OF enterprise and
thrift deG.oiisiies these relics OF early
days, the same agent replaces them
with brick and stone edifces. Vic
toria indeed presents many unmis-
taxable evidences of prosperity, and
a permanent prosperous growth.
It's expected that the meeting of
Good Templars this weekwill be one
Of the most harmonious and beneh.
cial sessions that has been held for a
long time. W

TunoUuu the csurtesv of Mr.. Har.

THROUGH the courtesy of Mr.. Har.
ry 1'ihbaIs we learn that a party Of
marines off the man-of-war Lacka
wana, went to Port Discovery, and ar
rested Indian Charley, slave Of sub,
chief Peter, of the Neeah tribe. The
cause of the arrest, was that Charley
had succeeded in winning the affec-
tions Of Mrs. Peter, (his masters
wife) aud also appropriating to him
self the money of said sub chief, all
of which was very "unpretty."
Charley declares love is blind and
that his "hugging a delusion' was
not his own fault; bu: nevertheless
he was placed in irons and put in
charge Of Peter and taken to the In
dian Agent at Neeah Bay.

Oriental Gambling.

The "gentle Hindoo" and "mild
Mohammedan" have, it seems, invented
between them a perfectly novel sort of
gambling. In one quarter of the in
teresting City Of Ajmer there is a house
occupied by some soothsayers who are
credited by the public with the faculty
of foreseeing changes of weather. They
are represented to be remarkably ac-
curate in their predictions, owing to
long practice in their profession. Out
side the residence of these worthy seers
a crowd of natives assemble every day
for the purpose of betting on the chance
of a downpour. After the "straight
tip" has been purchased from one Of
the prophets, the buyer commences bel
lowing, after the manner of "list mem
on English race courses, that he will
take or lay certain odds about the fall
of rain within a given time. The or
binary quotations are sixteen to one
against heavy rain coming down within
twenty-four hours, eight to n against
a light shower happening, and longer
odds in both cases as the time is reduced.
When the weather happens to be ex-
%ceptionally variable, the whole street
becomes blocked by an excited throng
of gamblers, and the prophets do a
smart business in straight tips" 1t
appears that the seers themselves very
often join in the amusement and back
their respective opinions with the great
est pluck. AS the hour approaches for
the majority of the bets to be decided,
the more nervous gamblers are heard
offering their chances of winning at a
heavy discount. This allows the wealth
erprophets an opportunity of "hedging"
at considerable advantage, and it fire.
quently happens that the book of an
old seer will show a certainty of gain,
whether the rain falls or not.-London

Pets ov all kinds are a nOosance. Pet
a mule with a klub and he IL pashunt,
but pet him with oats and he will xix
out II end ov kreashun. Pet dogs are
full ov heas, and pet munkeys are full
Ov the devil. All pet children are ty-
rants, and a pet deakon wants as mulch
watching as a pet cOon coon duz. Pet
ideas are quite risky, and pet opinyuns,
like secondhand clothing, are worth
just what you kan git fur them. A pet
wife soon gets to be captain, and a pet
baby rules the whole household. A pet
horse learns to be frisky, and a pet SER
want bekums cunning at the expense of
his honesty. Pet friends are the hard
est to keep, and when yu do loze them
they turn from bunny to gaul, and pets
of all kinds are fastidious. A pet crow
can't tell what his next mischief will
be, and ov all pets none are more nasty
and cross than a pet parrot. Nothing
in this world was made to be petted,
for nothing was made to require it. Pet
hobbys are plenty and eazy to mount,
but are hard to stick to, and the ditch
es, all along life's turnpike, are filled
with the riders. A pet lam alwuss
makes a kross ram, and what has been
once petted can eve be happy agin
without it. Live pets ov all kinds are
sure to be lazy, and from being lazy to
being sassy is but a short step, and is
shure to be taken. Too much petting
brings luxuriance fust, and then ruin
/ have even seen gardin sass petted so
mulch that it all ran to top and to
vines. Pet kats are, fust, an insult to
the kat, and, next, are an insult to the
party that pets them and there is no
more excuse for boarding a pet poodle
and Juggling them around, than thare is
for boarding and toteing a b%edbugg.-
