With naught her JOY Ia mar.
Dwelt maiden fair with golden hair,
Whose form might well with her name com

And the log huts told tale of shame.
As many such there are
Of affection past, Of u maiden cast

Twas Stella, the evening star.
Far away To the north mid din and strife,
Bartcring her soul for the means of life
And bearing the branded scar
Which the world Acstows, with jeers and blows
Unsparingly on the head of those
Like Stella, the evening star.
Far away to the south, aye, ont of the world,
with her twin named ship, which the tempest
hurled
And stripped of mast and spar,
Went down in the deep. She lies asleep
While the merciful waves increasingly weep,

of more than common interest. Ancient
history is respondent with the prodigal
display Of gold by the barbaric people of
the Orient. Arabia, Egypt and Africa,
according to this same authority, were
prolific in their production of this
precious metal. Pliny states that Cyrus
returned from his conquest with "a, 600
pounds OF gold (about SIC, 1000, 0OO). Al

! BREWERY BURNED. y esterday morning
the citizens of Vancouver were awakened at
2:40 by cries OF fire and ringing OF the fire
alarm bells at the engine houses caused by
the Columbian brewery being on fire. Two
engines We're put to work as soon as possible
at 9th and Main street corner and a short
| time after the garrison engine came down
with the Dist Infantry fire brigade, taking
station at the clstern near the stables. The
brewery was a mass of flames when the alarm
surrounding buildings must burn, but the
irenen made a brave fight, saving Patrick
Buckleys residence and the brewery saloon
building though the latter was Oh fire sew
eral times Fortunately there was no wind,
or all the buildings in that block would have
been destroyed, and perhaps others. Con-
sidering the time of night, and the lateness
OF the alarm, the fire department did excel
lent service. and the assistance rendered by
the garrison fire brigade was timely and val
liable. AS usual the working of the engines
fell upon few, while hundreds stood around
the fire, caring little whether the engines
were manned or not, and the idlers will not
get any credit for their lack OF action. The
origin of the fire is not positively known,
but it probably came from the malt kiln IN
some way, as the brewers were drying malt
the day before with heavy fires. Harvey
Arlington, who slept in the second story of
the building, was awakened by hire all around
him, aud made his escape with difficulty,
having to dodge the flames in getting down
the stairway. The building was owned by
NJ. Damphoder, and valued with fixtures at
about $500 10 $1,000 j. f. Francis and
Peter Hoffman, who were running the brew

DIED IN PORTLAND. Miss Louisa Nc

County Surveyor, died in st. Vincent's hos
pital, Portland, on Saturday night, from
congestion of the lungs. Mr.. McAndrew

brought to Vancouver on Monday morning,
and the funeral services held here.
BEEF ScARCE.-L week A. H. Johnson

Webber and Co., of this city, of l2I cents
per pound net, for the Bachmier cattle re-
Gently purchased by them Beef seems even
harder to obtain in Portland than in Van
couver Our butchers refused the Offer
though they would have made a good profit
on the transaction. 1t will be some weeks
yet before this part of the country can begin
to draw supplies from the upper country,
and the lower country is now pretty well
drained of cattle.
The LEvEE. BY reference to the proceed
ings of the special meeting of the city coun-
Gil OF Wednesday evening of last week it
will be seen that the public levee cannot be
lawfully used for the purpose of establishing
lumber mill and yard thereon, and of course
no action looking to that end can be taken
by the city authorities. What steps the
| Northwestern Railroad and Improvement
Company will take towards securing other
grounds is not yet known to the public. We
| understand that Mr.. VIM. Ranck has offered
the company sufficient land fol their pur-
poses, from his tract near the old wharf, at
very reasonable rates, and the location is
really better for milling purposes than the
levee site One of the incorporators of the
company stated at the council meeting that
| if the levee could not be had land below the
city would be taken, and a rival town would
be built up, but we think that is move
ment to which the citizens OF Vancouver will
not seriously object.
