ness and order throughout. The build
ing has been thoroughly renovated and
retitted from first floor to garret. The
new papering, painting, etc, has been
done in artistic style, giving the rooms
a freshness and cheerfulness that must
be gratifying alike to proprietors and
boarders, New carpets, new mating,
new furniture, new bedding-in fact
everything new conspire to produce a
favorable impression in the mind of the
beholder We found Mrs. Spoor busy
experimenting the operations of the
culinary department, and with her made
detour of inspection through the
rooms on the second floor and all we
have to say is, that if the travelling pub
lie do not find what they are looking
for here in the way of board and lodg-
ings we are much mistaken. The bar
room is in an entirely new wing of the
building lately erected on the west side.
1t is hard finished inside and presents
neat appearance.
"NIcE?" Well, we should sm- at
least we mean to say emphatically YES.
What place do we mean? Why, certain
ly; the Maison Dore, next door to the
post-otlice. It's just the nobbiest little
restaurant you've seen for while. The
change in its appearance is wonderful.
Seems as though there has been some
magic about it, And then the eatables
kept there are in such perfect accord
with the surroundings. We've "been
there" and know whereof we affirm.
But then Mr.. Kane can tell you about it
and explain more clearly. Just call on
him.
Mrs. Catherine Cant, colored lady,
formerly of this place, writes us from
Walla Walla, asking us to insert no.
tice of the death of her daughter in
that city on the 9th ult., aged 26 years.
The writer fails to state the name of de-
ceased, IAN oversight, most likely but
wants Victoria papers to copy.
LAST Friday and Saturday the steamer
Helen was detained at Dungeness about
twenty-four hours by high winds,
Among her passengers to this place on
Saturday afternoon We're; Miss G.
DOwnie Miss Oracle Davis, Mr. w. +.
Allen, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Weir and chill
dren.
The season is approaching when the
regular crop of spring poets hasten to
early and dishonOred graves; when the
editor instinctively feels for his hip
pocket as soon as fellow enters with a
roll of manuscript under his arm and
begins, II just dashed this off, etc.
We have received the wedding cards
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Johnson, of Seat
tie, lately started on the matrimonial
road. The lady is sister of Mrs A. U.
Davis, of Dungeness, also of Mrs. j. l..
Davis, of Lopez. The happy pair have
our earnest congratulations.
A PRIVATE letter from Lieut.. w. f
Kilgore, formerly of this place, informs
us of his good health and anxiety to
visit bis Port Townsend friends once
more. He is on board the U. S. Revenue
steamer Gallatin, at Provincetown, Mass.
Hon. Beriah Brown, of King Co.,
formerly publisher Of the Seattle DIS
patch" and veteran journalist, has re-
moved to Oregon. He will probably Sc
cure a position as one of the keepers of
the insane asylum at East Portland.
The Portland Telegram" has issued
another of its handsome illustrated sup
plements. The illustrations are from
Autographs representing Oregon bust
ness houses and Oregon farms. The eff
fort is quite creditable.
One of the representatives of the n.
Y. "Graphic' was recently in Seattle
taking subscriptions and making ar
rangements for illustrations and now
we presume the metropolis will be TAX
ing new airs to herself.
BISHOP Paddock, we learn, has con-
ciuded to take up his permanent home
in New Tacoma. On the occasion of
his visit to this place Sunday before last
the Episcopal church was crowded to
overhowing.
The poles for the telegraph line from
Port Discovery to Port Angeles have all
been procured, and are being distrib-
