A FRENCH writer, who claims to
know whereof he speaks, states that
the Egyptians conceal S20,000,000
annually of the precious metals; and
the Emperor of Morocco has filed
seventeen large chambers with gold
and silver. The solution Of the
problem of the disappearance of the
precious metals from the countries
where they are produced, is that the
Orient is the reservoir into which
continually flows the gold and silver
of the Occidental reservoir, from
which there is no ebb.

the OVERDUE DAKOTA.

The P. G. S. S. Co.'S str. Dakota
left San Francisco for northern ports,
on the 10th inst. Among her pas
sengers we're some of our best known
and most highly esteemed fellow Cit
izens. No fears were entertained
because of her non arrival until Sat
urday noon, when dispatches from
Victoria announced the delay. Upon
receipt of these dispatches, CoIlec'
tor Webster, and Capt. Tibbals.
agent for the steamer for Puget
Sound, at once telegraphed to Tia
coma, to Capt. Louis N. Stodder, of
the U. S. Rev. Stmr. Wolcott, who,
when the Dakota's time was up, had
with commendable prudence gone at
o ice 10 that port and filled his bunk
ers with coal. The dispatches met
the Wolcott at Seattle, on her way
down, into which port she had gone
in quest of tidings from the delayed
steamer. At once the little craft
was put to her best speed, and i'll
81 hours reached Port Townsend,
where, without dropping chor, she
touched, and, taking Capt. Tibbals
on board, fastened to Esquimalt,
making the trip in 8 hours. Look
ing in there for news only, she pro
ceeded without delay down the
straits, passing out by Cape Flattery
at daylight Sunday morning. Dur
ing Sunday the Wolcott went down
as far as Destruction Island, returned
by an Outside course to the Cape,
and arrived in Victoria on Monday.
UneAmpled storms in Oregon had
destroyed telegraphic communica-
tion with San Francisco, and compli.
Gated matters very much. The an
certainty of telegraphic communica-
tion between here and Victoria in.
traced Capt. Tibbals to return home
by Mondays steamer where, coop
Grating with the company's agents at
Victoria, Messrs. Welch, Rithet &
Co., he spared no effort to obtain
'tidirgs of the missing boat. To this
end Capt. Tibbals telegraphed the
Portland agents to send special mes
senger round the breaks in telegraph
line in Oregon, and get word from
Frisco if possible. He also tele.
graphsd Capt. -Flavel, at Astoria, to
get news from the steamer Columbia
Immediately on her arrival, whether
the Dakota had been seen or heard
from. Late Tuesday evening came
a dispatch from Capt. Flavel an
nouncing that the stmr. Victoria had
towed the Dakota into San Francis
so on the 10th inst, with broken
shaft. The joyful news was at once
telegraphed by Capt. Tibbals to all
points specially interested, relieving
many hearts that had been filed with
doubts and anxiety for days. Mean
while, Capt. Stodder had again start.
ed out for the Cape, with the VOL.
cott, On Wednesday he returned,
learning that all was well. Capt,
Tibbals and the Victoria agents, who
sent tug to Cape Flattery, deserve
credit for prompt action. Collector
Webster and Capt. Stodder also de.
serve all praise for prompt and nm.
airing efforts.

The political disease which causes the
convulslve throes through which the Re-
publican party is now passing, may be di-
agno6ed as a lack of any vital living prln-
ciple. When slavery was abolished its
mission really ended. 1t afterwards made
feint of making the financial credit of
the country it's special pet, but as matter
of fact it threw it away when it laid its
representative, John Sherman, on the shelf
at Chicago, and it gave the discarded prin-
ciple final kick when it formed it's ALI
ance with the junior Senator from Vir-
ginia. Its only cohesion now lies in offici-
al spoils and power; as witness the strug-
gle between Blaine represented by Gar
feld) and Conkling. It will not split the
party for division of the spoils will be
agreed upon, but the violent antipathies
engendered among the leaders will not die
out, and will show themselves at the next
Presidential election to the benefit of the
opposition.
