We have been shown a sarcastic CLIP
ping sent to lady in town, accompanied
by the kind regards" of the sender who
signs himself "Argus." We are quite
sure it did not emanate from anyone
connected with this paper; and further
more, it was probably the work of some
smart Aleck who had nothing better to
do.
private note from Capt E. G. Quinn,
of the schooner Teazer, speaks of that
vessel encountering a heavy northwest
gale ab"ut the Sd inst, off the cape, about
l6O miles Capt. Quinn says he picked

ferent. sounds of Vancouver's Island.

HC-NDS NOI SOM1NG.- non. A. w.
Bash, Collector of Customs, telegraphed
an invitation to Vice President Ed
munds to visit Port Townsend while on
Puget Sound, but received a reply today
expressing the distinguished Senator's
thanks together with the information
that it would be impracticable to visit
this place. This is TO be regretted, as
our people would like to see him, and a
visit might result benefcially to us.
However, an effort will be made to get
the Edmunds party to at least take a
look at our pretty harbor and town as
they go by.
Important changes have been made at
the Maison Dore. By removing par
itions at the rear of the dining room
that place has been enlarged to more
than double the former size. A large
double-door en- ntrance has also been made
nom the main dining hall to a spacious
side room that is being fitted up in first
class style for ladies' dining room.
The seating capacity of this restaurant
when ready for guests, Will now be about
one-hundred. No pains are to be
spared in fitting it up in neat, tasty style
and 1t will doubtless continue to be the
popular cafe that it has been heretofore
under Mrs. Learned's management.
Hon. G. NJ. Bradshaw will deliver the
Grafton at this place ON the Fourth. Mr..
bradshaw is well known on the Sound
q gifted and able lawyer, and it will
oe well worth while for visitors to come
