DRIED FIsH.-Samples OF smelt,
dried by the Plummer process, have
been sent us by Mrs. Howard, who
now has in successful operation one
of these celebrated machines. Those
that were sailed before they were
deprived of moisture, resemble in
taste the dried herring that have
long been a staple of commerce,
but the flavor is more delicate and
the fish present much more ap-
petizing appearance. Those dried
fresh, or in their natural state,
are crisp and brittle as glass, but
readily assume their former condition
when soaked in water preparatory to
cooking. There is but little doubt
that the many thousands of tons of
these fish which throng the bay at
certain seasons of the year, will be
utilized by this process, soon as their
claims as an article of food become
established. Mrs. Howard has sent
samples of dried clans to San Fran
cisco, which have been received
with favor, and assurances have been
made of market for all she can sup
ply.

The OLrMEA-TEN1No RAILROAD
A very importanS meeting of the
Directors of the Thurston County
Railroad Construction Co. was held at
it's office. on Monday last. The de-
tails are withheld for the present,
but we are assured that new propo-
sitions have been presented and ne
gotiations are now pending which
encourage the friends of the road to
to believe that success is certain,
and the money to build it will be al
most Immediately forthcoming. The
following resolution of the Board
indicates that its members now
have some faith in their ability to
build the road:
WHEREAS, this company, by resolution of
its board Of Directors, did heretofore de-
clare that it was the desire and intention
of this company to extend its road as
soon as it could do so, to tho Chehalis riv-
err, in the southwestern portion of Thurs
ton county, now therefore,
Resolved, That, the President of this
company be and he hereby is instructed to
cause to be surveyed, at the earliest prac.
ticable time, the line Of road from the
ed, at or near Tenino, to the Chehalis river,
in this county, and to cause the same to
be plated and estimates of the cost Of the
construction thereof to be made.

SEA saddler in Portland has
discovered a process by which, it is
claimed, any person can, after a
single lesson, reproduce a common
photograph upon canvass, of any de-
sired size, with all the delicate COL
oring peculiar to oil paintings. II
all that is claimed for the process is
true, the wonder is that it has not
been discovered by the artists whose
ambition continually prompts them
to new achievements, rather than
one whose business is entirely dis
similar. Mr.. Huert, the inventor
of the process, has applied for pa
tent.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspo ndence of the STANDARD.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA, 1873.
BY the skin of their teeth, the
Democratic majority in the House of
Representatives managed on Friday
to pass the Glover investigation res
olutions. Contrary to what Your
correspondent had expected, the
Republicans were united in their op-
position to the resolutions, and not
every one of the Democratic seemed
anxious for party success. The res
olutions are important. They give
almost unlimited power to various
Committees, including the power to
send for persons and papers" il.
making their inquiries into the paSv
and present of the Departments. It
is believed that the Treasury, the
Navy, the Interior and the War De-
partments will be thoroughly inves-
tigated. It is obviously necessary
that some one besides Secretary
Schurz should control the Interior
Department investigation. His Sc
cret investigation, made through IT.
responsible subordinates, has had
one good effect-it has made it plain
that there is need of further and
thorough one. 1t has not satisfied
any body.
Pertaining to the War Depart.
ment the subject of our military in.
vasion Of Mexico, the proper and ne
cessary expenses of the army, and
the restoration of General Runkle
will receive attention.
In the Navy Department it is like
ly all the doings of Robson will be
inquired into.
While on this subject it may be
we'll to note that the Sunday Capital
of yesterday says editorially that an
investigation by Congress of William
Z. Chandeliers charges Of bargaining
in the late Presidential contest is in
evitable. Connected with the CdPa-
tai are men vho are apt 10 be veil
posted in such Affairs. and the po<-

A ROUGH PAssAGE.-It appears
that the past month has been
unusually disastrous to the ship
ping all along the coast. The steam
ship Ancon, on her last trip to Port
land, experienced exceedingly rough
weather off the Columbia bar. The
vessel shipped sea that created the
greatest CONSERVATION among the
passengers and considerable damage
to the light work above the hurricane
deck. The wave was at least fifty
feet high, a vertical wall of water.
whose crest before breaking was at
least ten feet higher than the pilot
house, crushing a number of the
rafters of the hurricane deck, nearly
destroying the pilot house, wetting
the rooms of the Captain and first
officer, sweeping overheard number
of boxes. ETC., on the upper deck,
wrenching of doors and blinds with
terrific force, and filling many of the
staterooms and the cabin with water.
Several passengers narrowly escaped
being washed overheard, the captain
and pilot only saved themselves by
clinging to the forward mast above
the pilot house. The vessel was en-
tirely uninjured about the hull, not
parting seam or leaking one drop.

third, We do not at present re-
member the names of the other
non-commissioned officers. The
company reached Flori da and en-
tored into short campaign, having
several brushes with the Indians and
losing several members from wounds
and disease. The dilatory tactics of
thes Indians, who retired into over-
glades, rendered the employment of
a large forco useless, and the com
pany, with the other troops, was
disbandod after one campaign.
That has boon nearly forty>two
years ago, and not moro than fifteen
or twenty of the Veterans survive.
1t is proposed that these shall
have q reunion in the Town Hall on
the 11th of next month-the ami
versary of their departure. This is
q good idoa, and thera 10 plenty of
timo to make the meeting worry
pleasant affair, especially if somo
ono will prepare an account of the
doings of the company during its
torn of service. It has also been
suggested that collation. or ban
quet might be giyon to the veterans
by the people of tho 'Boro or the
county on that occasion. This is also
a tiptop idea. After tho veterans
shall have had the reunion they
might proGtably engage in business
by ypreparing q memorial to Congress
on the subject of pensions, bill
to that effect having already passed
tho House.
We hope that tho plan may be
carried out, and that the reunion
may bo pleasant affair.

Tho exhibition of Mr.. j. Prescott
Eldridge on Thursday night was
altogether a very creditable ono.
His recitation is really fine
especially in "Tho Bells" "The
Dying Boy" "The Maniac" 'sLittle
Brceches," "Excclsior," "Jim
Bludsoe's Funeral" and some
othcrs, In his attempts at mos
merism, however, he rather failed.
tic will do bettor to confne him
self to reading and recitation--in
which he has greatly improved
since his first visit to Winnsboro,
and IN which he is really very far
above ordinary. Doubtless, with
additional practice, he will have
few suporiors.
DR. s. Van Meter, of the Illinois
Medical Infrmary, at Charleston,
Illinois, (or somc Of his assistants\
will visit our town whilo on his
professional tour through the South.
The Doctor will be at Morris Hotol
on the 23rd inst. All who arc suf-
fering with Piles, Fistula, Throat
and Lung diseases, or diseases of a
private nature, would do we'll to
consult him. The Infrmary was
established in 1945 by DR.. S. Van
Meter, and Che many cures turned off
from the Infirmary attest tho won
dorful success attained during it's
thirty years Of existence. Remem-
