HOP PICKERs.-As the hop picking
season will commence on Monday, Sept
9Th, large lot Of Indians are on their
way from Sksgit. Lummi, and other
points down the Sound to Puyallup, for
the purpose Of assisting the hop raisers
in that valley IN taking care Of their
crop. On Sunday about twenty large
canoes might have been seen along in
front OF the town, the majority being
at the foot of Washington street. Each
canoe contained from eight TO fifteen
Indians, besides their blankets, dogs,
chickens and entire household effects.
When these Indians 90 on a journey
of this kind they take all their aged,
sick, lame, blind and halt rela-
tives, besides their young ones of all
ages and sizes. These Indians will get
three or four weeks work at Puyallup,
earning considerable money. They will
then return, on their way stopping at
Seattle to spend the larger part of their
earnings. This has been the history of
the past. and we see no reason why
they should deyiate from an old and
we'll established custom.

report finding large bottom of rich

THE WRECK OF THE SOUDER.
Hopes that the Crew and Passengers
Have EscaDed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The office OF Clyde l.
Co. was crowded to-day by many anxious
friends OF the passengers and crew OF the
steamer Emily B. Souder. The following
dispatch was received this afternoon by VIM.
P. Clyde u Co., agents Of the ill-fated steam
er Emily B. Souder, from the United States
consul at Kingston, Jamaica, under date De-
cember %:
alfred Anderson and Theodore Steinert,
seaman and quartermaster of Souder, were
picked up December H. on a life raft, by the
schooner Abbott Devereaux, from Boston.
They report that the steamer toundered In a
hurricane two days previously. They saw a
boat with passengers capSized alongside.
They lost sight of the other boats"
The announcement OF the capsZng OF one
OF the passenger boats caused a feeling Of in
tense gloom to prevail among the friends In
waiting, and further particulars are now
awaited with much anxiety. The steamer
Gamma, from Bermuda Is due here to-day.
1t is expected she may bring some further
news of the Souder. II vessel bound for the
West Indies were to pick up the crew
and passengers Of the Souder it would
be likely to put in at the nearest port,
which would be Bermuda, and upon this
probability the agents rest hope Of good
news To some they say that they will not
give the passengers and crew up, even II
many days pass and nothing is heard from
them, for 1t is possible that they may have
been picked up by vessel bound for some
distant port

The Death of Ne Soto.

When De Soto, after heroic struggle with
the grim monster, found that he must at last
and that by no effort OF a hitherto victorious
will could he break the hold Of its terrible
grapple, he directed that his soldiers-the
remant that was left-should be called to his
dying couch in squads Of ten or fifteen to re-
ceive his last farewell; he himself nominated
his successor, by name, as | now remember,
Don Louis Moscoso. His somewhat mystic
rious death and burial, whatever the true cir
cumstances were, was kept, or rather attempt
ed to be kept, secret from the Indians by
ways supposed De Soto to be immortal His
men, rightly az the sequel proved, feared that
If the savages were disabused of this idea it
might fare the worse with the little band SO
soon to be deprived by death OF the magnii-
cent courage and leadership OF the iron-nerved

The Manufactnrs of EGGS.

The latest exploit Of the San Francisco re-
porter Is the alleged exposure of process OF
manufacturing hens eggs from deleterious
materials. According to the narrative the
albumen is initiated by mixture Of sulphur,
carbon and fatty matter obtained from the
slaughter houses and rendered sticky with
mucilage. The yolk Is made of blood, phos-
phate OF lime, magnesia. muriate Of ammonia,
oleic and margaric acids and colored with
chrome yellow. The shells are shaped by O
blow-pipe from mass OF gypsum, plaster OF
Paris carbonate OF lime, and oxide Of iron.
After. the shells are blown the albumen Is
forced through hole In the small end and
sticks to the sides; then the yolk is added,
and after being covered with more OF the al
bumen mixture the hole is sealed with cement,
the complete egg Is rubbed pretty smooth and
laid aside for packing. It is asserted that
many barrels OF these eggs have been shipped
eastward for consumption.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Cincinnati Commercial predicts that In
the next presidential election it will be the
fast-growing Western States that will count
heavily. The "solid South is mere section
OF the Union, growing smaller each year.
The San Francisco Cal is quite sure that,
were Mr.. Hayes to run for the Presidency
again, he could not get the vote Of California
or Nevada, because OF his neglect to refer to
the Chinese question In his annual message.
The Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal makes the
comes an Independent candidate, he is sure
to land In the party that he formerly opposed.
and to become the slanderer OF the friends he
has deserted. And the Appeal isn't far out
OF the way.
The Southern press Is working up a good
deal OF sympathy for 'the chivalrous Hamp-
ton," because OF the amputation of his leg
six inches below the knee. The North ex-
tends it's sympathy to Hampton. The ampu-
tation OF the whole colored vote also had its
sympathetic attention.-[ Boston Traveller.

The Williamsport PENN National Standard
says: Information from Bellefonte Is to the
effect that Mr.. Yocum, In preparing his an
swer to Curtins notice Of contest, has dis
covered that the managers OF the Curtin CAM
paign spent large sums of money In bribing
voters. The testimony 1t is alleged, will be
startling, involving men who have heretofore
borne an excellent reputation for honesty and
integrity. There Is great Indignation exhibited
against Curtin and his managers, and even
threats OF persecution are made. II the

New York Bulletin.l

Taken as whole, the position OF the COM
bined merchant marine OF the world at the
close OF 1878, compared with the year pre-
vious, is the reverse OF satisfactory, though
In view of the discouraging condition OF COM
merce and trade everywhere there Is nothing
In this to occasion surprise. This Is partic-
ularly the case with sailing vessels, the total
tonnage Of that class having declined 5sI, ,058
tons, while on the other hand steamers show
a gain In tonnage OF S7,476. The total number
OF sailing vessels afioat In 1873 was 49, ,525; in
1877. 81 .912. Their tonnage was A. ,2lS,O72 and
IA, ,799,130. respectively, as above. Vessels
under the British flag are far In the majority,
numbering 1884 Of $3.50, ,01S tons in 1878,
