MANY pALATIAL RESIDENCES
will appear upon the hillside. While it
is utterly impossible to accurately COM
pute the total loss by the fire, can safely
say that it will not fall short of 81 ,50O,-
900, and will probably exceed $2,O0O,000.
But little insurance exists to Offset this
great loss-only $72, 900 altogether, as ad
justed. But one house, that of Miller &
Mcpherson, have been forced into liqui-
dation. They have meeting Of cred
itors on the 18th instant, when a settle
ment satisfactory to all concerned will
doubtless be effected and business re-
sumed. Their principal creditor is F.
X. Thurber, of New York. The first
child born in the city after the fire
blessed the household of James F. Ward
ner, a well-known commission merchant,
who, after due consultation with his bet
ter half, named the little one "Phenix."
Quite a revolution in journalism is
soon to occur, but whether the result of the
fire or not am unable to say. All three
ofiices-Pioneer, Times and News-fost
everything, and each have agents in Chi
cago buying new material. At present
the several papers are issued in greatly
abridged form, printed on borrowed
presses upon borrowed type. A. w.
Merrick, founder of the Pioneer, who
recently sold that paper to R. O. Adams,
representing the Homestake Company,
has bought back half interest and has
imported
COLONEL DOMAIN,
of Caucasian notoriety, to occupy the ed
itorial chair. We will see what we will
see! Porter Warner, of the Times, is now
in Chicago experimenting the shipment
of his new office. Pending negotiations
for the purchase of the Pioneer by the
Homestake Company, Warner was red
hot to sell, and made many overtures,
but with no success, whereupon he flop
ped on the "water question:" and came
out fat-footed for the De Smet Company,
with the evident aim of unloading upon
that corporation. The latter, however
respectfully declined and sent an agent
in the person Of a son of Judge Moody
to Chicago to purchase complete Office,
which is now ON the road. The new
paper will be edited by Major VIM. R.
Snider, at present attached to the Times
staff, and well known throughout the
northwest as brilliant, keen and thor.
oughly accomplished political writer. As
yet the Democratic party has no organ,
but the speedy establishment of one may
reasonably be expected, as next year will
witness very important election, to be
preceded by campaign Of the hottest
and most vindictive kind. Politically
the Hills are very evenly divided, the
Democratic nominee for Sheriff last year
securing the Office by only forty-nine
majority, while over half of the ticket
was defeated.

Frederick Crell, on trial for the MUIR

N. j., has set up the well-worn plea of
insanity, and brings witness who swears
that he was accustomed to allay his hun

gravy, sour milk, molasses and vinegar
mixed up in bowl. This would not of
itself prove him wholly either an i'm
beetle or lunatic, but it might tend
strongly to show that he would vote for
Butler if he lived in Massachusetts.-[N.

The entertainment given to General

by the California journals as delightful.
The house is very large, very richly fitted

flowers. In the reception parlor, where
the General stood, were quantities of
costly exotics, and on either side of him
were large stands of blossoms. Special
trains brought the guests, who were num-

DeadWoOd Letter to Chicago Times
Two weeks have scarcely elapsed since
the great fire, and yet it is my pleasure
to chronicle resurrection of the metrop-
oils of the hills, as complete as it is mar
velous. Here and there are smouldering
ruins, emitting columns of smoke and
disagreeable odors to remind the specta-
tor of the great calamity, but
through and beyond the vapor, the eye
rests upon large and handsome structures
that have taken the place of those de-
stroyed, while on every hand prepara-
tions for building are continually made,
night as well as day. Within twenty
four h urs after the fiery outbreak new
but temporary business houses appeared.
The quickest work of any magnitude
was performed upon Star q Bullock's
block, Main and Wall streets, in which
is located the Post-otfice. The building,
50x10O feet, two stories, was completed,
including the fitting up of the Post-of-
fee, stocking of the store, ETC., in just
seven days. Stebbins, Post & Mund,
bankers, had just completed an elegant
two-story brick, with French plate-glas
windows, walnut counters. ETC., when the
devastating element wrecked it all. Un-
daunted, the firm went to work ere
the ruins were cold, put up little
"shack" in front of the vault, resumed
business, and also commenced rebuilding,
and on last evening they were again
under roof, and before the week Is out
the second building will be complete
The handsome brick block of Matthiessen
& Goldberg, and Herman & Treber, ad-
joining, is also
UNDER ROOF,
and will be occupied this week. Contin-
uing south on Main street, find Wer-
theimer's brick block to be occupied by
the Sidney Stage Company, Cheyenne

completed; the Wentworth House, a

pretentious brick buildings, while innu-

character complete the formation OF the

Work of similar character is also visi-

UP A TREE.

One evening last week, as Corvallis iu-
venile was smashing a commandment by
depredations on an apple tree into which he
had climbed, at farm south of town, he
was discovered by the owner, who made
tracks for him with loud threats of ven
geance. In the urchins hurry to reach the
ground and g scoot," the broken end of the
limb caught in the dilapidated rear of his
trousers as he was about to jump from
lower bough to terra frma, and securely
held him. In vain did he twist and strug-
gle to free himself from his unhappy posi-
tion, for speedily the irate citizen reached
the spot, and, seiziny the sinful little fellow.
who was now waiHns Utterly, by the leg,
gave vigorous pull. Rip went the breech-
es, completely devastating the seat thereof.
and down came the boy. As if the destruc-
tion of apparel was not sufficient punish
ishment, the angry owner of the tree placed
the sorrowful lad across his knee and wreak-
ed his ven yeance.
