the LATE CAPT. DARLINGTON.

Capt. Edward harrington died at his
residence at Oak Harbor, WILDLY

"a years. He had been partially para
lyzed for long time, and had been
confined to the house about q year. He
leaves wife aud seven children to
mourn the loss Of loving husband and
father.
Capt. harrington was native Of Cape
Breton, p. O., and left his home, while
quite young, to follow the sea. About
the year 1856 he arrived ON Puget
Sound, and soon after associated him
self in business with 9. g. Phillips.
Together they carried the Government
express from Whatcom to Olympia, in
small boat, in the days when steamers
were few and far between. They after
ward run the same route with the
schooner Eclipse, and finally built the
schooner Growler, 90 well known by the
old settlers. She was commanded by
Capt. Darlington, and was engaged in
the general freight and passenger bust.
ness between the Sound ports and Vic
tOria.
harrington & Phillips also carried ON
q general merchandise business at Oak
Harbor and Coupeville for number of
years.
In 1867 Capt. harrington was elected

CAI.o, Dec. 10, 1s82.-Carisue society
has been diverted by two incidents
vnicn, Enough trivial in their nature,
deserve to recorded. The Peninsula
and Oriental steamer Malwa arrived
the other day at Alexandria. When
near the port an Indian knife-cleaner,
vnf ON the previous night had got
drunk and had to undergo punishment
quietly slipping overheard after he had
sning round his neck, chest and waist
no less than GOO Of the ship's table
knives intrusted to his care. The ship
was stopped and turned round, bat ali
the efforts TO rescue the unfortunate
man, with the much needed table knives,
were unAvailinR. The cabin passengers
were reduced to the use of spes eaters"
until the arrival at Alexandra. SinQu-
LARRY enough, the Nalwa herself, like
her knife cleaner, was soon destined TO
find watery grave. Just as she vas
leaving Suez yesterday, on her way to
India, the Aalwa collided with the Clan
Forbes and sank. All her passengers
were fortunately saved, among whom
was Lord Charles Beresford, the gal
LIANT commander of the Condor during
the Alexandria bonn bardment, and Who,
after his promotion, acted as one of
your war correspondents.
The se000d incident to which refer
red u the Captain Baker episode. II
seems that an excursion agency, &C.
cordlnQ to an arrangement made with
the British military authorities, are in
the habit of taking sick and GONZALES
cent officers and soldiers up the Nile
and back in their steamers, Among
the passengers of one of these steamers
was Captain Baker Of the ROYAL Artil-
lery, and also sergeant named Beck
| man. The latter, Just before the return
Of the steamer to Cairo, died on oard.
The doctor telegraphed at once TO the
proper authorities In Cairo announcing
Beekman's death, and saving that the
funeral would take place at HASTEN Nil
| Bridge at 8 O'Clock on the morning OF
the 18th. By an error of tho Arabic
telegraph clerk, the name Beekman got
transformed into Baker, which is, by
the way, very common name in Arabic
and signifies discreet" The result
was that Captain Bakers death was of.
ticially announced in general orders
and Just as the steamer reached Cairo
two artiilerymen appeared with an ele.
gantly made coffin, bearing silver plates
with engraved inscriptions of the dates
Of the birth and death Of Captain Ba.
ker. The artillerymen marched up te
tls Doctor, and, saluting him, said thai
they had come to take away Captain
Baker" The Doctor replied that Cap
tain Baker was going to Shepherds
Hotel. The gunners seemed perplexed
and suddenly Captain Baker himself
came up ON deck, the picture of health
and smoking cigar. The gunner
firmly believing that they stood face t.
face with ghost, dropped their CHASTITY
burden and cut and ran. The worst Of
it was that Captain Bakers wife an6
family in England had been officially
informed of his death, and the 18th Of
November, the day fixed for his funeral
was Captain Bakers birthday.

mont, viz, the building by the COM
pany. and the acceptance by the Presi-
dent, Of the road through the Terrific

70 the land only vests in the company
when, the condition being fulfilled, the
patent issues. But the court held that

which the Subsequent patent is only
oon6rmatory. The court lays great

there could b no non-performance, ex-
