From the Daily Of Tuesday.
DAMAGE By Frost. gentleman
in Portland, says the Oregonian, has
received . letter from Ashland, in
Southern Oregon, which states that
the weather in that vicinity has re-
Gently been very cold. Ice during
the night has been formed to the
thickness Of nearly half an inch. and
heavy frosts have not been infre-
quent. This cold spell has done
great damage to the fruit crop. The
writer states that q very large per
centage of the grapes. cherries, and
other fruit has been destroyed. The
reports which reach US from East
ern Oregon and Washington Terri
tory are not any more favorable.
The weather in these regions has
been very cold. and great damage
has been done the fruit. In some
localities it was so cold as to freeze
the twigs through and kill them.
So far as We have observed, the
damage to the fruit crop on Puget
Sound has been very slight, not to
exceed onethird the crop of the
fruit that was setting at the time of
the frost.

RAILROAD MATTERs.-The pro-

RAILROAD MATTERS. pro-
gress made by the working force on
the railroad is beyond what was ex-
pected by any of the managers.
The grading is now complete from
Warren's point to the upper Tum-
water bridge aud half of the present
force will easily finish up the old
grade near Bush Prairie next week.
In the meantime, part of the force
will be sent to Tenino to finish up
there, and about the middle of May
the road will be ready for the rails.
Ii there is no delay in the transit
from San Francisco here, the laying
of the rails will commence about the
middle of May and will end early in
June. The piling from Warren's
point toward Olymp viii he com
menced on Monday next by Messrs.
Littlejohn and French. The road
will run along the shore line as
nearly as possible from the point to
Percival's point near the west end of
long bridge. The depot will be at
the draw and it is expected that
piles for the track will be driven by
the side of the bridge, though this
part of the work has not been de-
cided upon Olgmpia Courier.
THE official vote of II counties
gives Eldridge $50 votes and Ger~
rish 1,625. 1t is not likely this ma
jority will be reduced by the other
counties. In making returns to
the Secretary of the Territory, the
auditors did not give the total vote
of the county. so that the actual vote
can only be approximated. BY the
counties it is as follows: Jefferson
800. King $50, Mason 70, Walla

Thurston 475. Klickitat 20. Pierce

The Coming Drain CrOp.

The grain crop of last year was almost
exceptionally good, and the country is
feeling tho benefit of il, and will cons
tinue to do no Tor some time. We are
also favored ~ the present time with
the promise of another year of plenty,
which ought to put western farmers
firmly on their feet and atone for some
of the hard times through which they
have had to pass, The Cincinnati
Gazette publishes numerous dispatches
and letters from the entire wheat grow
ing districts in tho states of Ohio, In
diana, and Kentucky. All these are of
the most cheerful character, The
acreage sown last fall was the largest for
years, in some sections being fifty per
cent. above the average Everywhere
the crop seems to have passed the wins
ter without damage, and is now in n
splendid growing condition The uni
form testimony of men of experience in
all these states is that the prospect OF
the crop was never better at this season
of the year. The advices from Iowa.
Illinois, Missouri, and other wheat pro-
ducing states of tho west have the same
encouraging story to tell of n large
acreage and unusual promise. In Iowa
spring work among the farmers is pro-
crossing rapidly, The greater part o.
the wheat sowing is already completed
The acreage of wheat in southern
Minnesota and Dakota is fifty per cent
more than last year There is no feal

"a HALF starved gentleman" has
written to the New York Times to col m.
plain that women are crowding men
out OF all the avenues Of labor and asks
for the love of all that's good and great,
that men be allowed some chance. The
steady and strenuous efforts of women
to obtain a livelihood have led them
into pursuits that, quarter of q cen>
fury ago, were considered entirely
beyond their province. 1t is pretty
hard on the male sex, to be sure, but
the women have battled bravely for
their position, and cannot be blamed
for holding, now they have it.

ny AnB mayor.
Philadelphia Times; There is "weepin
wailin' and gnashin of teeth" and a
probability Of an appeal to the organic
law of the land and the civil rights bill,
and several other things among the
colored people of Baltimore. The cause
OF the trouble is formal notice by the
mayor of that city, that hereafter he
will license no more "cake.walks. I"
The "cakeAwallS" is an institution pc,
culiar to the colored people and ofwhich
they are extremely fond, IL means %
contest between two or three hundred
couples-male and female-more or
less oif-color, who, for the pound cake
which is put up as prize, promenade
around hall for several hours, the
couple which does the most "gallus"
walking being awarded the prize, and
bearing for the time being the distinc>
ton OF being the creme de Ia creme of
colored society. The result of these
rivalries is generally score or two of
heart-burnings and so many ARRAYS
the disappointed couples rarely being
satisfied with the verdict. This has
been the case in Baltimore, and so many
noses, ears and throats have been slash,
ed as a result of the "cake-walks," that
tho mayov has resolved that either the
"cake-walks' must cease or the colored
population cease to carry razors.

NORM CAROLINA politicians are trou,
bled by the circumstances that the
state law requires the election of repre-
sentati,es in congress to be held in
August, while the federal law demands
that they shall be chosen in November.
The precedent set by the democratic
decision in the Bedford Patterson con,
test is not forgotten, and it is feared
that under it the elections, should they
take place in August, would be an.
nulled.

Cub erson Advocates the Disband

In a lett er to Major Cranberry, Mr.:
Congressman Culberson says Our eff.
forts to have our border properly
protected have been successful We
now have five thousand troops, and
there is more security for life and prop.
erty than Tor many years. We have
averted a war, and secured all we
ought to ask. Our state ought to dis,
band its frontier troops, as there is no
necessity for them. IL is the duty of
the government to protect our border
and we think ample means are now at,
forded, and therefore the expense of
the state ought not to be kept up.
There are politics in it, however, and
we cannot foretell when the state will
be relieved Of this half million dollars
of expense annually. Certainly not
until we have legislature that will
take the responsibility. Our prospects
on the railroad enterprise are not en-.
