SwINDLER FOILED A cur ons >Ain-
die was attempted to DC piay'ri 90 a
lodging house keeper in this v'ty on
Thursday night. but failed through the
awxwardness of the swindler and the
shrewdness of the intended victim. y
man dressed as laborer went into the
Eureka Lodging House, on Nlll street,
and asked the clerk in charge to give
him bed, at the same time deposiiing
with him for safe keeping what ap-
peared like a twenty-dollar roll Of sill
yer. After paying for his lodging, the
clerk inquired his name, and told the
man it would be necessary to count the
money to see that it was all right.
The stranger did not seem to care TO
give his name, nor to allow the pack
age to be opened. Suspecting some
thing wrong. the clerk opened the roll,
aud instead Of lot of silver he found
piece of common lead pipe with
half-dollar at each end. The clerk then
made rush for the scoundrel, but the
fellow eluded his grasp. and slipped
out the back door. minus the fifty cents
paid for his lodging and the two half
dollars in the bogus roll.

LOOKING FOR OPIUM. - Yesterday
afternoon on the arrival Of the North
Pacific, Wa Chung took dcHn to the
wharf a basket containing q number of
live crabs. to be shipped TO a China
man in Portland. Constable Lyts, who
was on the wharf at the time, under
authority from Inspector Howe, opened
the basket and dumped the contents on
to the wharf, expecting to find another
opium bonanza, which he failed to do,
however. Wa ChOng was highly in.
censed at this action of the officer, and
threatened to commence legal proceed
ings. Lyts finally replaced tho crabs,
and put the basket on board of the
steamer.

Decline Of the Tribune,

The general grief caused by
the death of Horace Greeley
will be remembered. The bulk
of his estate was left to his two
daughters, Ida and Gabrielle.
By the recent settlement of the
executor with the Surrogate, it
appears that 100000 Tribune
stock left to the daughters has
so deprecated in value as to be
comparatively worthless. This
has been caused by the wasteful
expenditure and bad manage.
ment of Mr.. Greeley's editorial
successor Whitelaw Reid "a
vain and ambitious young man
whom Horace Greedy brought
to New York from the interior
and gave place and position in
his Office, which the former re-
paid by the basest ingratitude.
The stock, which sold for S1O,-
900 per share soon after Mr..
Greeley's death, has now fallen
to less than 5000 per share.

Delegates.

The most important matter
which at present engrosses the
political mind, is that Of the ap-
preaching county and district
conventions to nominate candi-
dates for Delegates to the Con-
stitutional Convention, which
will assemble at Walla Walla
on the second Tuesday IN June
next. The Office of delegate is
mot one of emolument, but is
one Of much responsibility, re-
quiring the services Of men of
experience and ability, pos
sessed Of q thorough knowledge
of the present resources and
needs of the Territory, and with
sagacity sufficient to make am
pie provision for the contingen-
cies of the future. While it
would be judicious to have the
various interests Of the Terri
tory represented in that conven-
ton, the fact that the constitu-
tion is purely legal instrument
should not be lost sight of;
hence a reasonable number of
men of acknowledged eminence
IN the legal profession shoald be
placed in nomination. Should
this suggestion be disregarded,
and men sent there with no
other qualification than that of
business experience, social stand
ing, ETC., the scenes Of the last
legislature will be re-enacted,
and an instrument presented to
the people for ratification with
out head, tail or connection Of
any kind, and it's inevitable re-
lection would give us Il back set,
the evils of which it is difficult
to conjecture. We have conf
dence to believe, however, that
the gentlemen composing these
nominating conventions will give
this matter due consideration
and govern themselves accord
ingly.

many supposed to end about the
year 1880. After this period,
these persons inform us there
will be the millennium, lasting
one thousand years. 1t is a lit
tie strange that these periods
should be marked off exactly
alike by DR.. Knapp, from obser-
vations Of the planets, and by
hundreds of persons in all ma
tions from the study of the

The Dardaneiles.

The Dardanelles, toward which
so much attention is now direct
ed, fairly teens with historic and
poetic memories. Its naviga-
ton was first attempted by the
Argonauts, under Jason, in their
search for the Golden Fleece.
At Abydos Xerxes built his ia
nous bridge of boats for the in
vasion of Greece, and it was
here that the loves of Hero and
Leander became renowned. Le-
ander, who lived at Abydos, on
the Asiatic shore, was in love
with Hero, the beautiful priest
ess of Venus, at Sestos, and reg
ularly swan the strait to meet
his mistress. One dark and
stormy night ne JAILED TO appear,
and when the luckless Hero Wis.,
tied the shore the next morning
the waves had washed the dead
body of her lover upon the
sands. Overcome by her loss,
she plunged into the sea, and
the spot became ever after sa-
cred to their memory. Byron
swan the Hellespont at the
same point where Leander lost
his life, as have many others
since his time. The distance is
not great, and but for the poeti-
cal tradition which attaches to
the spot the swim would not be
esteemed an extraordinary feat.
