The Stage Craze.
From the New York Journal

From the New York Journal
Two of the most striking instances of the
stage-struck craze are found in Frederick
Paulding and Caufman. Paulding is the son
of a rich mother. He persuaded her that he
was born to be an actor, and she, though re-
sisting his entreaties, finally gave way, and
young Paulding spent on his teachers some
$4,000. Then he hired theatre and made
his debut as Hamlet, and went on the road.
This wss kept up, with occasional protests
from the mother, for three years. The last
heard Of Paulding he was somewhere down
South sick and despairing. Then he was or
dered to Florida for his health, and his drama
tic career came TO a sudden end. Yet there
was something in Pauldiug. His experiment
cost his mother something like Sac, ooo
And it all came from his having resem-
blance to Edwin Booth.
Caufman was young German who felt GER
tain he could do better as an actor than most
Americans. He learned English and took
dramatic teachers. He kept at it persstently
for two seasons, even buying a play from
Fred. Marsden. His father was his hacker,
and Sigismund Caufman, a well known Ger
man banker here, who was his uncle, was in
terested in the enterprise. Two or three
months ago il was found to be no use, and
the father refused to pay the losses any fur
ther. Then Caufman retired to some German
company. His losses are said to be over
$3o, 1000, bu'.he paid up every bill most honor
ably,

Love in Georgia.

How boys manage the matter in Monte

young man in town fell in love, but was too
timid to verbally ask the adored one for her
hand, and so studied up novel way to pro-
pose. He sent her two different colored roses,
and asked permission to call that night, re-
questing her to wear the red rose if she would
have him, and the white if not. He still dared
not call with the prospect of refusal, and
sent friend ahead to see which rose worn
Everything was as our friend wished it, and
he is now happy"

General Grant has never been found gar
rulous, but the comments of the press upon
his treaty with Mexico prompted him to say
to Texas Congressman that the document
will prove an entering wedge to the commerce
of our sister republic now almost wholly en-
joyed by France, England and Germany. He
thinks the American people don't appreciate
the difficulty encountered in getting the Mexi-
cans to consent to treaty.

From the Texas Wool Journal.
We have figured out the reasons why our
San Antonio wool merchants are on such good
terms with the wool growers who market their
wool here. 1t is because, in the first place,
they are square men, and not the least, be-
cause nearly every mothers son of them own
sheep, and know how it is themselves.

inflicted by kiss in the only proper place, the

Merwin, who recently sold his steamer
to the washington Steamboat Company
has concluded to build another and still
larger and faster boat for the Puget

attic, and her dimensions will be 135
feet keel and % feet beam. Her engines
will have 14-inch cylinders OF 5 foot
stroke, and she will be expected to run
16 miles per hour. Louis Paquet, who
built the Merwin, will do the wood
work, and the machinery will either be
built at one of our local shops or at the
Willematte Iron Works. In size and
appearance this boat will be much like
the Washington. and Captain Merwin

tered heavy losses during the last

OF valuable government records in

Office will occasion serious inconven-
ienee and complication for parties

the government provide fre-proof

More About The Madras.

Capt. Bradley of the steamship
Madras, it will be remembered, is the
man who had so much trouble every
where he went, not excepting at Port
Townsend. The following from the
S. F. Chronicle would indicate that
his troubles recently eliminated in
losing command of the vessel:
On last Saturday the English
steamer Madras left this port for
Honolulu and Hong Kong. For a
long time there had been bad feeling
between the master, Capt. Bradley,
and his officers, but it did not devel
op itself till just before the pilot was
ready to leave the steamer. Some
order given by the Captain was re
piled to in an insulting manner by
the first mate, to which the Captain
replied by giving the mate thrash
ing. This occurred just outside the
Heads, and after the pilot left the
Captain ordered the engineer to put
on steam and go ahead. But coun-
ell OF war had been held in the en-
gine room between the first and sec
ond mates and the first, second and
third engineers and they all decided
not to go to sea with Captain Bradley,
and consequently the order to go
ahead" was met with blank refus-
al. The Captain then ordered the
sailors to hoist sail, with the inten-
ton of proceeding on the voyage at
any rate. When the sails were set
and the steamer under way the three
engineers put on steam and worked
the propeller the reverse way, and
the steam being stronger than the
sails the vessel came back to the
starting place stern first and the an
chor was dropped.
The Captain then sent ashore by a
passing tug to have the British Con-
sui take some steps in the matter and
send out three engineers. Acting
British Consul Mason, Henry Lund.
the consignee, and pilot chartered
the tug Neptune and went to the
Madras, which lay at anchor ten
miles outside TO the Heads. Finding
that matters could not be satisfacto-
rily arranged, for the engineers
would not go to sea with MIR. Brad
ley as master, and it being impos-
sible to find three competent engin-
eers and two mates, it was decided
by the Consul and Mr.. Lund to put
another Captain on the Madras for
the time being. To this Captain
Bradley agreed, as did the mutineers,
and on the return to the city the ser
vices of Mr.. Swan, first mate of the
Sardonyx, We're secured, and the
steamer proceeded on her way.

Matters in General.
LELAND, Sept. II, 1888.

EDITORS ARGUS:
Twenty years ago Icc {please allow the
icense) asked our neighbors of Port
Townsend and Port Discovery: ''Where
is Chimacum?" How silly that question
would seem at the present time as that
settlement is now accessible by fair roads
from various directions, by ocean steam
erS, and Is III communication with the
busy world by telegraph. 1t is far famed
for the excellence of its dairy products,
its mineral deposits and smelling fur
mace, its unsurpassed milling and town
sites with all their natural concomitants
for diverse manufacturing, for the COM
paratiye independence of its citizens,
and even the feet racing of its 'pIow
boys"
A few days since, while in Port Town
send we were asked by some of the old
est and most prominent denizens:
Where is Lelands'' For those old
fogies who in their esotism pretend to
strangers that they are posted" we Lave
no answer; but for the newcomer and
stranger we have few plain words: Lee
land Is not a city, town, village, nor
scarcely hamlet. 1t is the name of
postoifice about midway, in valley of
the same name, between Port Discovery
~IdiiSChC valley G4-
tends in nearly due north and south di-
rectlon between those bays, and we can
truthfully say that tine bottom lands of
this valley and its vicinity cannot be ex-
celled for general agricultural purposes,
in Washington Territory or the Pacific
slope, while the side hills are of a clay
loan which retains sufficient moisture
to sustain good pasture wherever tested
Hence we can safely hazard the predic-
ton that In twenty years this valley will
compare favorably with or outstrip
Chimacum though the latter has twenty
or thirty years the advantage, but the
advantage is only in years. The valley
proper has nearly all been taken under
the homestead and pre-emption laws,bu
there are many small tributary streams
whose little valleys intersect the main
one, and which in some cases lead back
to quite large tracts of good land, in fact
there are almost innumerable swales and
bottoms III close proximity where good
claims can and will yet be located. True,
many such, on either side the valley have
been purchased (and by all the thunder

We publish today clipping from
the Walla Walls Union, giving what
viii be recognized by every thinking
man rs conclusive reasons why the
great bulk of Walla Walla trade will
come to Puget Sound instead of
going to Portland What is true of
Walla Walla is true of every inland
town within reach Of the n. p. r. r.
Portland is large, prosperous and
growing city of the northwest, and
she has the advantage of capital and
brains working for her continued su-
premicy, but her days ike those of
ancient Rome are numbered at least
comparatively speaking. She will
continue TO grow, and her commerce
will be sufficient perhaps to main
tain her leading position as an Or
sgon town, but the inland trade
across the continent will find its out
let through Puget Sound, with the
inevitable result of building up sew
eral towns at this end of the line that
will outstrip the Willamette metrop-
oils in size and Importance Capital
End brains can do q great
deal, but they are powerless against
DEGREES Of Nature that are made as
palpable as that between Puget
Sound and the Columbia river.

The attention Of some of our dis.
tinguished guests was very properly
directed while being shown around
The Sound to the fact that the chan
mel between Point Wilson and Whid-
by Island is the key TO the whole of
Puget Sound proper, and that Point
Wilson is by its prominence the
proper location for government
Notifications. The magnificent
harbor inside, Port Townsend
Bay, the finest and most extern
sivs harbor on the Sound, is destined
OF course to remain the principal
port Of entry for the Puget Sound
customs district, and the sooner we
get permanent government build
ings here in which to transact the
business of the Treasury Depart
ment the sooner it will become un-
necessary to keep valuable records
in wooden building where high
rent has to be paid Government has
found it better and cheaper to pur-
chase permanent marine hospital
property here; and custom house
property is far more important. To
be sure, there is heavy, fire proof
safe in the custom house, for the
preservation of the most valuable of
the records in case of a fire; but there
are many records and considerable
valuable Office furniture that cannot
be put in the safe. 1t is high time
that we had substantial stone build
ing erected for preserving this prop
erty and conducting this business in.
OF course it is hardly likely that we
will secure anything until state
government is secured, but the atten-
Goa of prominent and influential
nasa may properly be directed to
these matters, In order to have their
nindz prepared for action when the
time comes. General Sherman has
recommended long since the yacat-
eng OF Fort Townsend military post
and the construction of Notifications
&c Point Wilson. Let the whole
snstter be kept before the attention
of Congressman and Senators till
ve get our dues, and till the govern
ment takes such action as viii secure
its important interests.
