Referring to Barnhardt's mater
nifty, the Chicago Times has this
little piece of gossip:
1t is strange to hear this lady
called "Mademoiselle," and then
to read that she is to be accompa-

son is innocently applicable upon
no other theory than that, in a
crowd of such admirers as she had
to find a son was infinitely more
easy than to find husband.

Ho FOR THE TELEGRAPH!-Mr. f.
II. Gisbon, chief officer of the Cam
adian Telegraph aud Signal Service
system, is in Victoria. Recently he
sent word to DR.. Minor, President Of
the P. S. Telegraph Co., that after
completing some cable laying in B.
C., he would have a few miles of
cable left, and that if the P. S. Tel
egraph Co., would meet him at Port
Angeles he would lay a cable from
Victoria across to that point. DR..
Minor is highly pleased with the
idea, and will try to accomplish the
desired end. Capt. Morse, of the
Dakota, is very enthusiastic in the
matter, and vows the line shall ex.
tend to Cape Flattsry. This is a
subject that the ARGUS has repeat
'edly urged before the attention Of
mill owners and others on the Sound
directly interested in the matter of
telegraphic communication. We
earnestly hope that the move will be
q complete success.
