AN old man was found in the alley
back of the City Drug Store this
afternoon, with his face cut open.
He says man named Mackintire
enticed him to the place and then
beat him. Mackintire escaped, but
will probably be taken before morn
ing. The old man was taken into
the drug store and his wounds
dressed.
We learn from Hon. Geo. W. Tib-
belts, who came to the city from
Black river this morning. that the
best coal ever taken from the Talbot
mine was struck about three days
ago. How long this quality Will
continue there seems to be no means
of ascertaining.
The Union Meeting at the Brown
Church last evening was we'll attend
ed, and the interest seemed rather
on the increase. There was but
little in the way of demonstration,
but deep feeling seemed to peryade
the audience.
We learn that Mr.. E. F. Thomp-
son, formerly of Milton. and his
brother from California. have pur-
chased from Corbitt Il Macleay of
Portland, the Jefferson Touring
mills and will assume possession on
the 1st of February.
STOLEN. Hillory Butler requests
the man who took his saw from his
barn to return it at once, and adds
that no questions will be asked. Of
course it will be returned after this
notice.
One more appointment has been
made to free scholarship in the

are now wanted.
HEARD FEoM.-A party just up from
Salmon Bay states that two of the lately
escaped prisoners were seen last night
in that vicinity. They stole a canoe and
escaped. No doubt the whole gang are
near by, and will soon be captured.

From the Daily of Thursday.
HIGH T1DEs.-Yesterday morning
the tide was so high at this city that
Colman's mill was compelled to shut
down for several hours. This morn
ing the tide rose three inches higher.
covering a mark that was made at
the mill seven years ago by Mr.. D.
NJ. Crane on the occasion of a re-
markable high tide. The water was
so far as we are able to learn, higher
than at any time for twelve years,
and covered the basement of Schwa-
bacher Bros. & Co.'s building to the
depth of an inch or more. The wa>
ter entered at the lower corner of
Crawford & Harrington's basement,
but did no damage. Some of the
planks on Buzby's wharf were float
ed. but they settled to their places
again as the tide receded. We have
learned of no real loss in this city
occasioned by the high water, ex-
cept the loss of time at the mill yes
terday and to-day. We learn, how
ever, that some of the dyked lands
down Sound are overfowed, on &C.
count of the levees being insufficient.
In the winter of 1866 there was a
tide nearly foot higher than this,
covering the only wharves in the city
at,the time, and doing considerable
damage at the towns on the Sound at
that time. In the winter Of 1859,
nineteen years ago, was the highest
tide ever known on Puget Sound.
1t occurred very early in the morn
ing, and there does not appear to
have been any record kept of it in
this city, as there was nothing here
at the time that could be injured by
the high water, and probably the
people were in bed at the time the
water was at its highest. At this
time VIM. H. Gillian was engaged
in logging back of Blake's Island,
across the Sound, and near his
camp was an Indian village on a
sand spit, in the same place where it
had been inhabited for ages. and
never had the Indians been driven
from their huts by the tide. On
this occasion, however, the water
arose to the middle of the huts, and
the Indians were compelled to stop
upon the roofs until it subsided.
A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
L. e. Harmon, proprietor of the New
England Hotel. to>d:y discharged the
last Chinaman in his employ, substitu-
ting white help in their place. Mr..
Harmon. unlike the majority of those
who employ the heathen, yet run with
the masses who condemn them, has
made his actions speak louder than
words, and is to be commended for it.
If others would talk less and follow his
example, the Chinese question would
soon be solved without the intervention
of Congress. The heather can't live
much longer without employment than
the white man. Shut off his brend and
he will em:grate without coercion.
LAST evening tramp who was under
the influence of liquor, entered milli-
merry shop in town and seated himself on
the sofa. Just as the lady proprietor,
who was alone at the time, was begin
ming to get frightened. heroic youth
entered and taking the tramp by the
collar. "bounced" him with much sgil-
! ity into the street.

Millions I'm IL.
THE VAST SUM THAT THE BELL PUNCH
MAY BRING INTO THE TREASURY.
From the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald.
According to the statistics collected
from official sources by Mr.. w. f. Spald-
ing, there are now considerably over
6,OOO places in the Commonwealth where
liquor is sold. During the year ending
the 3Oth of last oune, 6,838 persons took
out retail hceuses from the United
States, and this is the most accurate
guide we know of, but it is not likely
there are SO many places oyen at present
owing to the hard times and other causes.
sun, That number is less than there had
been In any year since 1872. Perhaps
there may be q, 400 establishments of high
ana low degree now engaged in the bust
ness. Persons who have made the sub
Ject a study reckon that the sales of these
places will average $1,000 a year, which
wodid Indicate lhat, at retail prices, S25,-
oOO,OOO worth of liquor will be sold in the
State during the year
We have no way in which to deter
mine how much of this will be paid for
malt, and how much for stronger liquors;
nor is 1t necessary for our present pur-
pose to know this. Atthe Virginia rates
ale ana beer pay 10 per cent on each sale,
and ardent spirits IL per cent. 1t will
not be unjust to reckon the average at
IL per cent, though it is probably greater
III the Old Dominion. At that figure
Massachusetts would realize, on the ba-
Sis OF our other computations, S3,072 900
"a year from this tax. Three millions of
money is large sum. A good deal can
be done with it. In these hard times it
strikes the Herald it is worth saw
ing.
1t is not necessary that the precise Vir-
gina figures of half cent for each glass
OF beer and two and half cents for each
glass of alcoholic liquors should be
adopted, though these have worked well
in practice. What we want is to see the
principle put in operation. Of course
the sum realized here will not be so large
as III New York, where the metropolis
and where it is estimated $4,000 900 "a
year could be collected, but, if we take
the figures given above and look for on
ly three millions, is not that worth work
ing for?

A MAN WALKS INTO A LADY'S SITTING
ROOM AND DEMANDS MONEY.
Last evening between the hours of Z. &c
and O'Clock, u bold and daring robbery
was committed at a privale residence in
this city. The robbery was well planned
and executed, and deserves to rank
among the most successful in this coun-
try' Ihe circumstances of the case are
| about as follows:
About 730 o'clock Mr.. VIM. Harvey,
who resides at No. 103 Il. Seventh street,
| left the house for the purpose of taking
| n short walk. AT the same time the SER
want also left. As they did so Mrs Har-
vey locked the front door, and returned
TO the sitting room in the second story
She had hardly closed the door when "a
large and very stout man, about six feet
high came walking towards her She
endeavored to scream but the man rush
ed towards her and put his hand over her
mouth, at the same time drawing re-
volver, and i'll rough tone demanded
her money. She again endeavored to
give an alarm, but he caught hold of her
again, and said if she did not keep quiet
he would blow her brains out In com
pliance with the request of the brute, she
took out her pocket-book, and gave him
a five dollar bill, all she had. In drawing
the pocket-book, she also dropped
bunch OF keys. He then demanded that
she, open the dressing case, she did so,
and gave him all the money there, about
500. He then took hold of her arm and
walked her down into the hallway, and
locked her in there and then escaped by
the back way. Mr.. Harvey is of the
opinion that the man was in the house
all the time secreted in a closet
1t also appears that he has contemplated
the robbery, as he remarked to her that
''you fooled me last Tuesday but you
won't fool me tonight" The police are
looking for the robDer, but have no clue

wife at twenty-five mInates to ten O'Clock

was considerable quarrelling between
Inem, ana young man named John "

ton. Lloyd succeeded in freeing his
wife from the protecting arms of Kirk,
when she ran, the husband following
her, firing repeatedly. One shot took
effect, for she fell, but rose and walked to
her home at the corner of Front and
Iilgman streets. Lloyd being prevented
from pursuing his wife raised the pistol
and discharged the contents into his own
head. He was shot in two places, one
being near the top of the head. and
Whlch Is only scalp wound; the other in
