THE ORIENTAL IN IN. GALE.
TACOMA, Jan. 10, 1883.

Ed. PoSr-lNTELLI0KNCKR.
There was a mistake msde in your
paper of yesterday, in saying that the
ship Oriental broke away from her
moorings. It blowed strong, but our
moorings held. We had two anchors
out ahead. and large scope Of chain
on each anchor. The British bark Lau-
derdale, to windward of us, dragged
down on to MS. She was light, and high
out of water. and pounded Us badly.
The barks H. w. Dudley and DashinR
Wave were fastened close to rs. on our
lee side. They cnt and cast off thelr
fastenings to get away from us, and "a
give rs chance to get away from tho
Lauder dale. We then out and slipped
our wharf fastenings, and swung to ouy
mOorings. We were most of M Gloss
together for the remainder Of the night,
with head to the wind.

NEW YORK. Sept. 3. 1883
By our Oi0a Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 1888.
From the intensity of the heat
with which we have suffered last
week, We have plunged into weather
which is as cool as it might be in Oc-
tober At the same time the tides
in the river and in the bay have been
unusually high, and the water very
rsugh. On Tuesday last l went
down to Monmouth Park to witness
she close Of the Long Branch racing
season, and to be ready to shout with
true American patriotism should Iro-
quois, the first American Derby win
ner, succeed in capturing the renewal
Of the Monmouth stakes. The pass
ace on the boat to Sandy Hook was
exceedingly rough, and the Chancel-
Tor rocked about in manner which
made it difficult to keep ones feet
under him. OF course there was a
sreat deal of sea sickness. One
prominent racing man had his wife
and daughter with him. The three
of them got violently i'll. They man
aged to get a quiet little corner for
themselves, and leaned against the
walls. Every new and then the wife
would turn toward her husband and
exclaim, in tone conveying the very
depths Of misery: ooh, john
Then the daughter would back up
this pathetic explanation with a wee
BECOME "Oh, Pal" and all that "Pa"
could do was to bury his face in his
hands and groan. But the most
amusing spectacle was furnished by
ex-senator Pinchback. He is gen,
orally up North during the racing
season, and backs the horses very
heavily. This year, however, he ha.
done very poorly with them, and is
understood 10 be badly out of peck.

IN order not to make an exhibition
Of himself, he retired to a very shady
neck, where he expected that no enc

would says Pm glad the meeting
will end to-day" he said, as some
enc asked him how he felt. 81 have
been coming to this tract, quite often
this year" said he, land they have
been generally getting my money
| did net mind that SO much, but to-
day they rob me of my breakfast,
which | only took before leaving the
hotel, and do not even let my stom-
ach carry it till l get to the track;
then | do object, and l say I've got
enough" And yet they say that the
colored man has no sense of humor.
On the way home it was noticed
that the beach off the Highlands was
strewn with carcases of cattle. The
evening before an English steamer
had LETT her dock with an enormous
cargo Of live stock. She was packed
to the utmost below, and in addition
had an abnormally large deck load.
In fact she was SO heavily laden that
she rolled in the easy wash of the
upper bay. No doubt when she get
further down she had to tighten her
load, and the poor beasts were thrown
overheard. The bodies Of the ami
mails, as they appeared II W and then
above the surf and seething, formed
a very suggestive picture, and re-
vived all the stories Of cruelty to
dumb beasts which came out Gil an
official investigation in England some
time ago. Humane societies are en-
deayOring to alleviate the lot Of cat
tie in transport on railroads, and a
new and in every way serviceable
cattle car has been invented, which
Will no doubt be forced on to cattle
dealers by legislative acts, but until
we get an International Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, which will superintend the
shipment Of animals across the ocean,
and whose agents will maintain a
close watch during the voyage, acts
will accur, the recital of which makes
ones blood run cold.
With the first of September the
slaughter Of the mute bivalve again
became proper, and Of course every
body with a duesregard for fitness Of
things, did his duty on that day. In
conversation with an old oyster deal
er, l learn that the crop this year
will be very large, but that the quail
ity upon the whole has declined
Even the luscious Blue Points have
deteriorated. OF course this is per-
ceptibIc only to the connoisseur, but
all the same it will give the Fish
Commissioners some work to ascer-
tain the cause. In France and Eng
land the quality of oysters has been
deteriorating for years, and in cOnse-
quence diminished their commercial
value. Should our oysters continue
to fall off in the same way, it would
materially injure branch Of export
trade which is only springing up.

Burglaries are 50 common in Mas

This forest scene in Brazil was ore
day enjoyed by i've gentlemen eff
my acquaintance. While collecting
specimens of vegetable growth and
searching for novel insects they were
suddenly startled by the cry Of a
wild animal. They judged the Great
ure to be about two miles distant and
Immediately started in pursuit. The
doctor assured himself that all the
chambers of his revolver were in or
der. while the Professor took the
precaution to load his gun with
coarser shot than he had been using
for birds, and as they drew near they
became more sure it was feline
voice and an nerved themselves for
a combat. But now they hear sim
liar cry in another direction, still
nearer than before, and were obliged
to make detour to avoid placing
themselves between two packs. They
advanced with the utmo caution,
and not cracking twig nor rustling
branch told of their approach, while
the difficulty of their progress in
creased as it grew more damp with
each succeeding step. Coming up on
the game they found it not to be a
tapir, and to their infinite amuse-
mont they were further serenaded by
the "feline voices" of frogs.

Omaha dailies deserted their cases to go
on a general strike for higher wages.
Having no previous notice of the in

Meanwhile we will endeavor to furnish
