Twas terrible moment. The man

crowd on shore stood helpless and
horrified. At this juncture some one
yelled, "Ob, for a boat!'' But there
was no boat within ten miles. The
suspense became awful. and the sun
sank into the misty bosom of the
West like bloody pumpkin. All at
once female voice was heard above
the breakers. ''Never mind the boat

In 4 recent lecture .by Mr.. e. r. Tweedie
=. @. s., London, on " A Cup bf Tea, " the
speaker divided his subject into four sections
1.-The tea, the water, the milk, fhe sugar. The
lecturer first drew attention I'd tea drinking
with every day life, aud showed that the prin-
ciple components Of tea were theme and the
essential oil Of tannin, which latter possessed
astringent properties. He informed tho au-
dience that the best time TO take tea was about
three hours after diRueg OF any other heavy
meal and deprecated in the strongest terms
the excess to which tea drinking is carried by
some people, asserting that such practice in
duced nervous disorganization and impeded
digestion. He showed that the sole difference
between black and green tea was Of one pre-
marathon, and that both kinds could be obtain
ed from the leaves of the same plant. After
asserting that the adhlteration Of tea had very
much decreased of late years which the tea
drinking public will be glad to know, the
lecturer proceeded to treat of the various kinds
of shrubs grown in different parts Of the world
and the countries where the different kinds Of
teas were consumed, the lecturer came to the
consideration of the milk. its value as
nutritive agent, and referring TO its adultera-
ton he made tho astounding assertion that IN
London alone every year no less than E70,O00
was spent on winter which was sold as milk.
Passing on to regard the sugar, The lecturer
denied the common error that sugar was in
iurious to the teeth, bringing forward as an
example the negroes of Jamaica, who he said,
though they were the greatest eaters OF sugar
in the world, were prOverbial for their beati-
full teeth.

Madame de Janzy was at Napoleon the Hrs
court in the last years of the second Empire,
and was very friendly with the Imperial
family. She relates a comical summing up of
the situation, which Napoleon INDUCED in
once when affairs were in a wrctched condi-
ton. "How can you expect the government
to get on? The Empress is Legitimist; Morny
is Orleansist; the Prince Napoleon is Re-
publican, myself am Socialist, and Per-
signy is the only one Imperialist, and he's
fooll" If the man of Sedan were alive he
would not forgive the viacountess for bringing
to light this singing statement, in which there
was much more truth of definition than he
meant to have been betrayed into. e

THIRD DISPATCH.l

PORTLAND, September 15th.-Harry Mord-
aunt, the escaped convict of the Oregon State
Penitentiary, arrested in San Francisco some
days ago and being taken back to Oregon on
the steamer Columbia by detective Day, OF
this city, disappeared in q sudden and re-
1narkable manner while en- route TO this city.
Shortly before reaching Astoria, while both
the officer and M0rdauut were below. the
latter made an excuse TO go to his room TO
get his coat, and having at the time sixteen
pound shackles on his leg the detsctive al
lowed him to Go so, and ne has not seen his
prisoner since. When few minutes elapsed
the officer followed Mordaunt to the room,
only to find both him and his coat gone. The
vessel was thoroughly searched for the
missing man, but in vain. One Of The
deckhands made statement that he
saw Mordauut slip over the stern of the
steamer, reseh the wafer by rope and dis
appear During the tip the prisoner was
very respondent, acting strangely. he was
discovered at times praying, and appearing
as though deranged. The story Of the deck
hand is looked on by some as very queer.
and that it is told to assist the prisoner to
escape by remaining hidden on the steamer
until her departure. The officers at Astoria
are on the alert, and intend TO search all ships
leaving that port. ATordaunt has many
friendsin San Francisco exerting themselvssin
his behalf, and assisting him to escape, among
whom Is the notorious sailor boading- house
keeper Douglass, indicted with Mordaunt
for kidnapping and inhumanly treating sailors
falling in their clutches Douglass jumped
his bail and is now in San Francisco, and put
up the job to get Mordaunt out of jail by a
habeas corpus in San Francisco before the
arrival OF the detective to take hirn back to
Orapon

AUSTIN, September 15th.-About quarter
before II o'clock to day a fire started in
Cranes watch. making shop, above and ad-
joining f. Vonnordeck's drug store, on the
east side of Main street, short distance
above Virginia street. In less than five min
utes from the starting of the fire four or five
frame buildings adjoining were enve!oped in
flames. Eagle Hose Company No. 3, and
Manhattan Hose No. were on hand in a
short time, and played on the burning build
ings but from scme cause or other the
usual head of water did not come through the
pipes, though the reservoir was full of water
John Frost thouehtfully turned on the Ore
gon Reservoir water, and from then plenty
of water was at hand. After destroying the
frame buildings between the brick, in which
was Wrjght's jewelry store. the Western
Union telegraph office and Hcgans shoe
store, it continued up the street, the
wind blowing light breeze in quartering
direction, taking in its course Tower & Co. 3
brick saloon, the Odd Fellows and Masonic
Hall, etc., clear up to Parrott & McComb'a
blacksmith shop, opposite the Courthouse.
The entire block was burned to the ground in
less than an hours time, with the exception
of the Masonic Hall Oa the opposite side of
the street mostly all the frame buildings were
charred and blistered from the intense heat.
Through the efforts of the tiremen and the
favorable direction of the wind, they were all
saved. The following buildings were de-
stroyed Price & Reads variety store, Post
Office, Games barber shop, Perin's tailor
shop, John Dolan's grocery store, Charles
Polkinhorne's boot and shoe store, T. Von-
nerdeck's drug store. Cranes matchmaking
shop, r. 2. Hale's barber shop, Tower &
Co. Is saloon, the Masonic and Odd Fellows
brick buildings, Triplett & Clark saloon,
William Ohrgeman's saddler shop, Mike
Mesgah's livery stable, Simon Bray's butcher
shop, Weller's photograph gallery and Henry
Kings carpenter shop and dwelling.hous
1t is impossible to get the individual losses,
but the entire loss cannot fall short of $780,.
600. and may exceed that amount. The in
surance is placed at SIS 000 Nothing def
mite, however, can be given as to the losses
and insurance at this time.
