The New York Times was evidently
in error IN locating the Oregon extern

The Chinese miscegnation case is

his famous search for the remains Of
Sir John Franklin's expedition. He
found the bleached skeletons of about
40 men, and reburied them. The re-

many relics of the i'll starred party.
Miss Kate Claxton deser YES not a
little praise for the production, under
her management, at the Lyceum thea
ter last evening, of Charles Reade's
dramatization of Double Marriage"
The audience was large, standing room
uncomfortable and even the veteran
FIRST nighters" saw much to applaud.
There is no reason why a play so full of
dramatic interest should not become a
success. There Is in II an attraction
of incident that makes every person
present content to await the denoue-
ment. The piece is destined for a run.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun of the 10th of June
says: 1t is the general lament by genu-
inc investors in all this section of the
country, that all substantial securities
and investments have fallen SO low. A
few years ago there was no end of
people in Chicago and other western
cities quite willing to promise as much
fifteen per cent for loans; but eastern
capitalists, who trusted to their prom
ises found them in many instances to
be like pie-crust and have been rather
dubious of western investments. Late
ly, however, investments have been
made by persons here in the west at
rates Of from eight to ten per cent. A
New England senator q few days ago
made a large loan on real estate in
Kansas, at eight per cent, and several
members of the diplomatic corps who
are flush, are putting out there money
in the west at these high figures. It is
hoped that their confidence is well
founded.
