cart for anything that stands ON legs OF
rolls On wheels I'm certain to fetch it.
Ait that was only lamp-post-do be
uneasy. We broke It right of square,
and 1t was the fall of the glass that you
heard"
A corner was turned at that mad pace.
The cart ran on one wheel for half a
block, but came down on level keel just
in time to knock three spokes out of big
ice-wagon. A block further down halt
was made, one of the baskets dropped in
side the gate, and the butcher smilingly
said: 3i
"Just wait till 1 find a family carriage
well loadedi There's where the fun
comes in, sir. Any slouch Of butcher
can cut one wheel of. but wait till you
see me operate"
The horse flew around another corner,
knocking boy thirty feet, and, lol there
was the wished-for object. A block away
was an old gray horse, gently pulling q
two-seated carriage in which were three
ladies and two children. The butcher
tickled his horse with the whip, braced
his feet, and as the reporter shut his eyes
4 cloud Of sp1inters darkened the air. The
shock was scarcely felt. There was
grinding sound, the dull snap of iron, and
the butcher patted himself on the leg and
chuckled:
"Good boyl That will be at least $50
for some carriage shopl May havekilied
one out of the lot. but people must die or
undertakers couldn't make d cent. Ali
did that disturb you? That was only a
collision with fruit peddler's wagon.
He should have been on the lookout"
Then we flew. Softpated young men
playing base. ball looked like house-fies
trying to pull on tight boots. Aldermen
in search of streetsprink1er for the
Campus Martius were taken to be hair
pins stuck in the sidewalk. Ladies with
four yards of dress goods dragging be-
hind them resembled ants hopping along
with broken legs. There was steady
roar from the wheels. Sparks of fire
flew from the tires and the shoes of the
horse. Curses from other drivers and
screams from unfortunate victims min
gled with the awful rush of wind. The
reporter grew sick and dizzy. and no
longer kept track OF the killed and
"Tired, eh ?" queried the butcher, as
he raked against one Of the horses draw
ing load of hay; well, I'll let you out
here, though was in hopes you'd hold
out to see me kill . preacher or cripple
poet. Luck seems to run away from me
today, but there are lots of days ahead.
Y You newspaper men don't get as hardened
as you ought, but you'll grow to it. Good
by, sir. Kind o. look out for me above
here. I might take you for aschool- teach
er, and aim to divide your spinal column.
Ta-ta! There comes a milk-wagon--see

Harry went away before the manners

THEY have a wonder in. full blast near
Yankton, Dakota. 1t is large rock that
burns constantly, looking like an immense
coal of fire in the night, and sending up
columns of dense black smoke by day. 1t
burns constantly and of itself. The rock
looks as if it might contain coal, but of
very poor quality. The fire reduces the
rock to very bright red cinder,. which
snaps like artillery, and the cause is as yet
unknown to the people Of the neighbor-
hood.

From Daily Of Saturday,:
TRAVELS OF LETTER.---A little
over a year ago, man called at the
Post Office and registered small
sum of money in coin for his wife
in England. The letter left here
and the usual "tracers'' came from
stations on the road. A few weeks
ago, letter came from the Chicago
post Office returning the letter and
stating that letters containing gold
or silver coin are in contravention
of the international postal treaty
which forbids the shipment of coin
through the mails between France,
England Germany and United States.
The fact that the contents of this
letter were not included in Near
thurs defalcation, is also worthy of
note. Last night Mr.. Prosch re-
sceived a letter from the husband
who is now in California, stating
that his wife had never received the
letter and asking that it be remailed
to him, which will be done to-day.
TaE SrE1LAcooM MILL.-We men
toned several days ago that MIR.
Frank, who has been employed in
tColman's mill at this place to pur-
chase machinery for saw mill at
,Steilacoom. The citizens of that
place subscribed the sum of $4,000.
of which 81 900 is to be paid in cash
when the machinery is landed there
and the balance when the mill starts
to cutting lumber. In this matter
the Steilacoom people have done
wisely and will receive back four
fold what they have donated. They
have the advah tage of beautiful
town site and only lack the establish
ment of an enterprise like this, to
make Steilacoom prosperous and
thriving place.
GOLD IN WHATcoM.-A private
letter from friend at Sehome in
forms us that two men went out to
the Nooksack in January, and got
home last week. Part of their mis-
sion was to prospect for gold on the
South fork Of that river. where they
found such indications as to Justify
them in returning thither. They
will wait, however, till the high
water abates and there is no more
snow to melt, when they will show
agood return of the glittering metal.

severely dubbed on Front street by
three or four unknown persons. On

From ne Daily Of Sunday

IMPRovINa.-Yesterday the sup
ply of coal from Rentcn came in
/, much more freely than on the pre-
vious day, each train being six cars
containing an aggregate of forty
eight tons to the trip. With good
weather and no unforeseen draw
backs, the road can be made to
bring in 1872 tons per day with its
present amount of rolling stock,
which is in excess of any work per-
formed while steamboats, and barges
we're used. When the rolling stock
is increased to twenty coal cars,
each mine can send in about two
hundred tons per day and that is as
fast as they will care to dispose of it
at the present ruling prices. But as
wood grows scarcer every day in
California. the demand for coal must
increase and prices advance with the
demand.
AN EYE TO BUSINESS. ss.-They have
a new weapon in saloon in this
town called the ''snuff-gun." It
consists of a small box with pipe
leading into it and a shorter tube
leading out Of it. When a logger
comes in. he spends ten dollars for
gin and then sits down for a chair
Fsnooze they stick the short tube in
his nose and give her gentle Whit.
This sets the snoozer to sneezing
and in ten minutes he is wide awake,
duly sober and ready for more cock
tails. By this ingenious method,
the industries of our country are en-
couraged and our progressive civili-
zation receives material advance
ment.
STEAMBOAT ITEMS. = After next
week the Otter will go on the Olym-
pia route in place of tine Zephyr,
which latter boat is to be laid up for
the purpose of putting in a new
shaft and cranks to her wheels,
which are completed at Bullene's
shop. The North Pacific will leave
for Victoria and lower Sound ports
tomorrow at 5 A. NJ. and the Annie
Stewart at 2 A. NJ. The other de-
partures to morrow will be the Libby
for Bellingham Bay and way ports,
the Fanny Lake lat 'noon) for Skaget
and Centerville, Zephyr for Olym-
pia and Nellie for Snohomish.
Observation-Disclosures Richards,
the old steamboat steward who made
the Bank Exchange SO popular in
years gone by, has taken the place
again and reftted itanew. William
is good caterer and knows how to
set good table, the real secret of
which is good quality rather than
abundance. Give the old man q
Call.
SHERIFF's JURY.-This body who
are still celebrating on the Keith
Robbins lease of certain property on
Commercial street are now incubat-
ing the proposition, hence the sale
of the lease is postponed till Mon
day at 9 o'clock. If decided in favor
Of Robbins, the lease will not be
sold.
DROWNED. - Peter Ladeboos. TN
old Norwegian aged IS, was recently
drowned in Pole Pass near Orcas
Island by the upsetting of canoe.
This makes the sixth or seventh
death by drowning in these waters in
the past two months.
CoM1NG.-The barkentine Ham
sailed from San Francisco for Blake
ly on the 9Th. The Shem and ia
phet will be along Sin the sweet bye
and-bye.
MINNIE MAY.-This little steamer
on Lake Washington, has been sold
by Mr.. Jenson for whom she was
built.
, 1877-03-17

STEAMBOAT ITEMs.-The St. Pat
rick came over from Seabeck yester-
day--some say for keg of lager and
others for an inspection of her boil
er.. The Skagit route should be
made mail route at once, as letters
sent to Skagit City and Centerville
by Capt. Hills hands, usually ar
rive two or three days ahead of the
mails. On dit, that the Aida is to
have new boilers before taking her
place on the line again. The Go
liah is nearly done in her repairs
and will be able to resume towing
in a few days. The Black Diamond
is putting in good service on the
Samish and Stilagnamish. towing
out small RATS for the loggers.
PILING. = The wharves in San
Francisco and Oakland are under
going repairs to such an extent as to
create an increased demand for piles.
One load was recently shipped thith-
er by the bark Vidette, few weeks
ago and now five hundred more are
to be shipped by the Coquimbo and
Northwest. They were towed down
from Dogfsh Bay by the Politkofsky
on Thursday.
A BRUSH. - It is said that the
Messenger and Annie Stewart had a
little trial of speed last Thursday
morning between here and Tacoma,
in which the Olympia boat started
off ten minutes ahead and reached
Tacoma fifteen minutes in advance
of the Stewart. The other side say
the Messenger was only seven min
utes ahead and lost three minutes
ON the run.
DEATH FROM EXPosURE.-William
Marsh, an old resident of Victoria
and we'll known to many of our citi-
zens, went out shooting near that
