Mr- Hammond, who recently advertised
his property III Port Townsend for sale,
has changed his mind, as he thinks the
| business outlook much more encouraging
than it was.
We received this morning an official
request from Collector Beecher to pub
lish the letter Of Acting Secretary French,
OF March. 1881, relating to Alaska seal
fishing rights. As the matter was pub
iIshed IN our issue of yesterday, it serves
all the purposes OF publicity sought by
Secretary Manning through the Collector
at this port.
The nomination of Postmaster Bell at
Webster City, Iowa, was unanimously

Uncle ]. J. Huat has purchased the
elegant, marble-top bedroom sets in the
Arlington Hotel at Seattle, and has
leased the upper part of the Bank build
ing which he has fitted up in palatial
style. He had accommodations for about
hundred in the hotel proper, but it
wasn't big enough. As hotel landlord
his popularity is well attested.
1t is perhaps fortunate thing for the
public that Tacoma is located SO near
the insane asylum, because it may save
expense in transporting the Ledger out
| fit to that institution for the care of
imbecile and feeble minded. If that
Vander-Blllion slush habit becomes
chronic, as it now promises, the
employees in the Ledger office will surely
become driyelIng mani ,cs.
Amcng the handsome diplomas issued
from the New Orleans Exposition was
one sent to Mr.. Hall Davis, of Brook
Farm Dairy, Dungeness, for jar of
butter. Mr.. Davis has contributed
materially to the reputation Of Puget
Sound for dairying, besides giving his
own product a certificate of superiority
that must increase the demand for it III
local markets; Trough for that matter he
finds ready sale at advanced prieces for
every pound he can make.
BURGLARY.-rhe store OF o. A. Dress
er, of Coupeville, was burglarized last
night, the thieves effecting an entrance
by prying open the outside shutters of
front window. They carried off consid-
erable tobacco, clothing, ammunition,
canned goods, eggs, &c. They are sup
posed to be two men who have been
camping out around the bay for several
days. They had black boat, and pre-
tended 20 be looking for timber. The
sheriff, With posse of we'll armed young
men, arc in pursuit.
The Pbilbrick matter is causing con-
siderable street talk. The general
impression seems to be that 1t Is a
blackmail case throughout. Mrs. Phil
brick, No l, is known TO have been in
communication with Philbrick and Ellen
Prout as far back as when they were
living on the property which they sold to
Mr.. Fuge. II she had wanted to claim
her alleged interest in that property why
did she not DO so then, instead of
waiting till years after the land had been
sold to innocent purchasers, and had
been made valuable? It begins to look
something like conspiracy between the
whole Philbrick crowd to wait till all
the property had been made very valuable
and then extract blood money from
owners. If the plaintiff really wanted
satisfaction from Philbrick and his
present consort, why did she not proceed
against them in criminal action? She
could have done so when she alleges she
found them living together as man ana
wife in Port Townsend, and while they
still owned portion at least OF the
property now III controversy.
Senator Jones, of Florida, has received
lots of free advertising for leaving his
seat to court Miss Palm, of Detroit, who
won't listen to his wooing. One paper
wants his seat declared vacant and
successor appointed; another thinks that
as he is more OF a success as a senator
than as a lover the governor of Florida
should appoint some one to do the
courting and let Jones return to his
senatorial duties. 1t is also particularly
inclement day when some paper dosnt
rise with a remark about carrying off the
Palm. A young lady of Florida writes
the following public letter: "Why
should the senator seek the cold, sterile
and forbidding wilds of Michigan in the
dreary winter months, and amid the
blizZards of the north to waste his virgin
affections upon the marble heart of a
scornful and unresponsive woman? Let
him return to his own sunny land o.
flowers and bananas, where the moeklng
bird ever sings in magnolia and lemon
trees, where the soft air is laden with
odors and orange flowers. Why does he
turn away from US, his own sisters of the
balmy and languid south, who long for
his kisses? Come back! Come back!
Oh, Jonessy, you old fool, come back.
