For several days last week mystic
rious preparations were going on
about CarsOn's Restaurant that limited
at some important event about to
transpire. 1t was soon nOi5ed about
that the jolly caterer was about to
take unto himself wife. One might
haYe known that something exceed
ingly pleasant was to happen to Char
ley from the happy look that he was
carrying around. And it did come
to pass Saturday evening, when a
marriage ceremony took place at the
residence of Charles Sweeny, Esq,
in which G. w. Carson and Miss
Tillie Lind played the prominent
part Of groom and bride. The GER
emOny was performed by Rev. c. c.
Burnett, Immediately after which
the new made couple and numer-
Gus retinue Of invited guests repaired
to the restaurant and partook Of a
sumptuous and inviting feast. We
join with their many friends in wish
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Carson a life run
ming over with happiness prosperity,
and all those things.

TOO TOO.
A Truly Metropolitan Establishments.

After many days our interprising
young friend, Henry French, has at
last become settled in his new brick,
on the west side Of Howard street,
between Main street and Riverside
avenue, The building itself is a by
20 feet, two story, and has been put
together in the most thorough shape,
by that experienced builder and con-
tractor, I. r. Benham, whose name
alone is surety for fine workmanship.
The edifice is finished inside and out
with the best material that could be
procured, and it stands Il handsome
and substantial piece Of architecture.
But it is the interior that particularly
strikes the eye. We can say without
fear Of successful contradiction that
Mr.. French's confectionery and re-
freshment parlOrs can not be sur
passed for finish and furniture by any
house devoted to similar purposes
anywhere west Of the mountains
outside of the city of San Francisco.
There may be larger ones, but none
neater Mr. French has spared no
pains nor expense in fitting up. The
front room is a model of elegance.
The carpenter work has been done
with care and skill. All tho fixtuEes
are new, and have been selected with
rare good taste. The glass show cases
are of modern designs and very eX-
pensive. The COnfeCtiOns are dis
played in handsome glassware, all Of
the latest style. The floor isrOvered
with Oilcloth Of a cheerful pattern,
and the room is lighted at night with
large chandeliers of unique and pretty
models. The large show windows
are set off to Il good advantage by a
display of fruits, candies, etc. In the
rear is large dining or rclrcshment
parlor, with tables to accommodate
thirty or more persons. The floor is
carpcted, the windows hung with
lace ecurtains, the walls decorated with
paintings, the whole presenting a
pleasant appearance Of luxury and
comfort. Between the front room
and back parlor are two private re-
frcshmcut rooms, equally as neat in
all their appointments, During the

For some time past the nJails have
ceased to be expeditions. To be
pointcdly correct the mail service
has become altogether unreliable.
You put an important letter in the
post office here, il is sent ON toward
its destination, but has a bad habit
Of lingering on the way. The mail
is becoming as slow as the telegraph
was before thciaddition Of new lines,
and that is stretching time out good
piece. 1t has come to the ears Of
the men in high places at Washing
ton that the people along the North
crn Pacific road were suffering from
the impcrfcction Of hcpostal depart
ment, and they have lifted up their
voices in wall of sympathy, and
swear by the countenance on the new
postage stamp that the evil will
he at once remedicd, if ii requires
the aid Of every mothers son en-
plOyCd at headquarters. An edict
has gone forth that a special agent
shall Immediately and without de-
lay embark on board a palace ear at
st. Paul and personally inspect every
Office and mail car from that point
to Portland, and cndeavor to throw
light upon the indignity that the
people haye suffered under. If it is
discovered that the mails have 50 in
creased that the present force is in
adequate to handle the same then a
sufficient reinforcement will be add
ed to insure a prevention Of any fur
ther trouble from that source. On the
other hand if the special agent finds
the regulars have been shirking work
then the entire force on the route
will be simultaneously, instantane-
Ously and uncercmOniOusly cast a.
drift to earn a livelihood during the
winter shOveling snow or saving
wood. We hope the inspection may
be pushed rapidly, as it is becoming
tiresome receiving letters mildewed
with age, and the contents reading
like ancient history.

Through the kindness of Mrs. +.
T. Clarke we have learned Of the or
ganization in our city of new liter
ary society that has been named the
"Roundabout Club" a very appro-
pirate title. As we understand it
the Club is composed Of fifteen mem
bers. and in this instance the mem
bers put up s. each to form pool,
with which fifteen of the leading
publications of the day, such as fic-
tion, history, poetry, belles-lettres,
etc, are purchased. Then each
member is permitted to retain each
volume one week, that being pre-
sumed sufficient time to read the
books. At the end Of fifteen weeks
the members have finished the set
and the same number Of new books
are sent for. The old books are then
aurtioncd off, and the money
obtained for them is added to
the reserve fund on hand. BY this
means the members have an Oppor-
tunity to peruse the standard works
of the day at small expense. Upon
organizing the following officers
were chosen: President, Rev. II. G.
Watson; Secretary and treasurer,
Mrs. +. T. Clarke; Third member,
J. X. Stout; Executive Committee,
Rev. T. G. Watson, J. X. Stout, and

Accidentally Killed.

The sld news reached this place
Thursday that l.. r. Montgomery,
of Chawclah, and brother Of c. II.
Montgomery, Of Colvillc, received
injuries last week that resulted in
his death. It seems that Mr.. Mont
gomery was riding horse when the
animal threw him off, and then
stamped upon the breast Of the pros
trate man, mangling him terribly.
The sufferer lived few days after
the accident, dying Sunday. The
body was inferred Tuesday Of this
week. The deceased owned Il store
at Chawclah and was well known
throughout Stevens and Spokane
counties,

We have before mentioned that
the ladies of the NJ. T.. Church were
pre- paring to give grand dinner, or
dinner on a grand scale, in the
building at the corner of Stevens
street and Riverside avenue Thurs
day afternoon, Thanksgiving Day,
but again refer to it in order to keep
the circumstance fresh in the minds
of our citizens. The preliminary
preparations have advanced so far as
to Justify us in prOclaiming that the
appetizing lay out will he Of such a
description as will appeal to the p L.
ates of all classes. The idea is to
give an old fashioned dinner, and as
one Of the oldest fashions in exist
ence is eating, we do not see that the
shape Of the viands will frighten off
any mOdeTniZed individual if the
quality is tOOthsome, and we are
prepared to say it will be. The din
neT hour will be from - NJ. to 1870 p.
II. We hope the patronage will be
- liberal that at the last hour there
will he nothing left Of the table
stock but crumbs and bones. In the
evening the ladies of the same
church, Notwithstanding the labOrs
they will be naturally forced to I'M
dergO providing for the multitude,
during the day, will give an Old
Folks Concert in CannOn's Hall.
The programme will be made up Of
old time songs, and the singers will
appear in costumes Of ye olden days.
This feature Of the days festivities
will be under the immediate super
vision Of Mrs. Geo. Brandt, a lady
whose musical attainmcnts eminent
~ qualities her for taking charge of
and making the concert an enjoyable
and successful affair. The proceeds
Of these joint entertainments go 10
the church, worthy cause, worthy
Of liberal assistance from car people.

THE bill authorizing women to
vote has passed the Territorial Leg
islaturc and only awaits the sigma
ture of the Governor to become a
law. Now the female has the same
inalienable rights heretofore enjoyed
alone by the rOugher sex. The lady
politician steps into the arena, and
wields an influence. 1t will be an
oddity to see the female ward striker
sail down to the polls on election
days, with her hands full Of tickets
and a gun in the pocket of her polOn-
aise or some other fixing, ready to
weedle the unsuspecting voter into
changing his opinion, or to take Il
hand in a row. She is to crowd her
self among rough men, forget her
sex and the high station God has ere
ated her to fill, and come down to
tIke part in the tricks, and intrigues,
and not always reputable proceed
ings Of an election. She may sue
ceed in elevating territorial politics,
which would be an occasion for con-
graduation but if the politics had
the effect of lowering the woman,
what then? We are not opposed to
women enjoying all the rights, and
privileges OF men, but there are
privileges, if exercised, that will not
make women more womanly. Ladies
have always held a warm spot in our
affections. We confess this without
blush. There is nothing in the
world that ought to be more respect
ed by man than woman. He who
has wife, or mother, or sister
should feel thus if he POSSESSES Il
semblance Of manhood. Women
should be elevated to the highest
pinnacle in mans esteem. She i
created to occupy u sphere above
that of her male protector. She leans
upon the man. Too often is the
support unworthy of her, but she
still clingS, contides, believes. She
is an angel, and as such is worthy
the homage Of the lesser being. We
have no desire to see woman step
down from that hight wherein she
is fixed, no wisIhto change a particle
the good opinion of them we have
always entertained. But can she
WELD the influence, can she retain
the same position in the hearts OF
men, if she is to take an active plIt
in politics ? Would not the sight Of
Il woman haranguing a crowd on the
street corner, or guarding the polls
soliciting votes, or stepping up to the
polls among crowd of men, many
of whom may be skeptical as re.
CARDS women's motives, disgust the
IN mljority Of humlnity? We may
differ in this instance with the
IN jority, and may come to see the
error after the novelty wears of, but
just now we are not too favOrably
impressed with the new law.

q There 10 a prospect that the
coinage of the three-cent piece,
which has been much restricted of
late, will soon wholly cease. There
never was any need of pieces of
this denomination, which set at de-
fiance the decimal principle. The
original claim that these coins would
be of special use In buying postage
was always absurd; but with the
common reduction of the single let.
ter rate even that preposterous ar
gument disappears. The three-cent
piece was not only needless, but q
nuisance, because its size renders it
liable to be given in a hurry as a
cent or taken as o dime. Nobody
will regret its disappearance.
