We learn that the infant son of Capt
and Mrs. Jas Morgan died this morn,
| ing. The little sufferer had been quite
! i'll forsome time. The parents have oul
earnest sympathy.
We have received Il copy of the New
York Daily sun, as it appeared Sept. B
lsS3-tifty years ago. 1t was then about
half the size of the DAILY ARGUS of to-
day. 1t is quite curiosity.
A casual observer noting the many
new roofs in town, and the carpenters
s.lavings, &c, cannot fail to note these
evidences of our transition stage toward
larger municipal existence.
While Seattle was eating her barbe,
cued oxen and chewing the cud of bit,
ter reflection today. Governor Perkins
of California, and others of the last spike
party we're making long call at Port
Townsend.
Hon. n. Shakespeare, NJ. p, has re-
turned to Victoria accompanied by his
Wife Since the last session of Parlia-
ment at Ottawa they have visited Eng
land and the 'old folks at home" from
whom they have been absent many
years.
The steamship Queen of the Pacific
called at Union wharf this afternoon
and took freight on her way down to San
Francisco. Through the kindness of
Mr.. d. G. H. Rothschild We were fur
nished with the following passenger list:
Geo. G. Perkins, J. o. Hutchinson, j. S.
j. S. Tabee, P. Dean, V. Gibbs, S. G.
benson, P. b. Tully, H. Davis, Chas
Russell, NJ. P; P. Martin, N. p; Baron
Bleichroely, G. S. Greelep, John d,
Perry, A. Shuman, G. A. Burns. Mrs.
Jas. Epler, 2 daughters and son. 1t is
said that pro spect exists of having the
Queen placed permanently on the Sound
route, We hope it may be true, as she
is a magnificent vessel.
Seattle has just cause to complain of
her treatment by President Willard. A
reception second to nothing the visitors
had seen since leaving New York had
been prepared at great expense by the
Seattle people, with programme
planned to have begun last eve
ming at s o'clock. In the face of all
this, and knowing that no pains or
expense had been spared, Mr.. Vii
lard landed there a little after 4
o'clock and remained but little over an
hour, during which time small portion
only of the people were called together
and an impromptu address OF welcome
was made, followed by such off hand re-
marks rs Messrs. Willard and Schurz
were pleased to make. An apology was
rendered by Willard, but it was terribly
lame-neither did it soothe the wounded
feelings of the people who have gone to
such trouble and expense to show how
glad they were. The excuse is made
that Willard was tired out and hurried
for time; but it would have been better
had no excuse been offered. Evrfything
was hurried throug, and the parry filed
aboard the steamer and left Seattle to
have her celebration today alone. Her
barbecue, her exhibits OF manufac-
lures, her decorations and her fine
speeches are worth nothing except to
remind the public and local visitors of
what might have been. Tacoma, how
ever, Jared no better, except that enor-
nous expense was spared, and the dis
appointment was consequently not as
great.
