Mr.. George W. Pryor is canvassin

special interest at this time, in two 70
umes, entitled, memoirs OF GenerG
Sheridan" 1t was written and revise
by the General Just before his dealt
u He bestowed great care and though
upon it, personally verifying and cor
r recting every statement. He begal
the work two years ago, and read tn

preface only three days before hi
death. The larger portion of the pric
OF the book goes, a. did the Memoir

pages, and contains fine cngravings @
General sheridan and the officers wh'
served under him. Several maps like

romance.
The other evening at South Bay
Mr.. y. :. Porter was declaiming with
his usual sledgc-hammer eloquence al
a Republican meeting, when he took
occasion TO refer to some matters per
sonal to himself, among which was
the charge that he was Prohibition
crank. The gentleman seemed to re-
gard this as very damaging statement,
and he called down the vengeance
OF heaven on the miscreant who would
SO misrepresent him before the public.
This was all gulped down by the G. o.
p. as perfectly orthodox and proper and
the applause came in as usual without
a check, until Mr.. Billings, the Republi
lican candidate for Sheriff, who stood
in the back ground muttered soto roce:
"That's nothing; they've said the
same thing of me-" Then the audience
did cheer, and the remainder of Mr..
Porters address was lost in the gener-
al commOtion that ensued.
II. Huden, the ginger-pop man has
popped out, to the lasting sorrow of
many creditors. He was doing a good
business, but it seems that he left
Marshfeld, Oregon, several years ago,
heavily in debt, and as some of these
creditors had ascertained his where
abouts, the temperature had become
tropical and he determined to make a
further raise by leading out the same
suit here. Before leaving he made a
fraudulent bill Of sale of half interest
in his soda apparatus to Daniel McNa-
mara, his assistant, to secure the sum of
$500 he owed him. 1t WAS valueless,
as the plant WAS mortgaged its full
value to Capt. Wiley, who had adj
vanced the purchase money. The
business will be continued by Mr.
Phipps who has bought Capt. Willey's
interest, under the management of
Mr.. Mcnamara, and the quality of the
beverages will not suffer as he has
done the work upon which Huden's
soda and other drinks have based
their reputation, for several years
past.
The hop-growers of Thurston coun-
ty have met with no difficulty in secur-
ing hands to pick their hops. The sea-
son has been unusually unfavorable in
every respect, and from the informa-
ton we receive, the crop of the county
has already been fully harvested and is
generally reported to be above the av-
erage, both in quantity and quality.
Though details are not accessible from
the different growers in the county, all
make the same favorable report in gen.
eral terms. For instance, we are told
that the hop-yard on Nisqually bottom
on the farm owned by Mrs. Mary NJ.
Miller, OF this place, embracing about
six acres, yielded this season some 49,
GOO pounds. or seven and half tons
which, ut tho present favorable prices,
will furnish the fortunate tenant, Mr..
Jasper Hartman, with nice little sum
to jingle in his capacious breeches
pocket. Jasper's numerous friends re-
joice in his prosperity and wish for
him and his co-laborers in the hop
fields many returns of such Il prosper
Gus season, as their good is the good of
us all.
Pundita Remabai appeared before
Il large audience in Columbia Hall,
Saturday night. She is small wo-
man, of middle age. and rather pre-
possessing in appearance, dressed in q
garb of extreme simplicity, appearing
to the beholder to be a white sheet
which completely enveloped her shout
ders, arms and body. She spoke very
good English, but in 50 low tone
that those who sat on the back seats
could, with the greatest difficulty
catch the drift.of her discourse. The
meeting was opened by Mrs. Stork,
who announced the well-knOwn hymn
From Greenland's Icy Mountains"
which was well rendered by the choir.
She then introduced the speaker in a
brief sketch of her life. The Pundita
then took the stage, and in opening
said, the hymn just sung always inn
pressed her with its beauty of senti-
ment and diction, as well as affOrding
amusement to her and all others who
knew her people better than its auth
or evidently did. The Hindoos were
not worse than other nations, and
however POLITICALLY the idea that India
was wanting in all that constitutes
morality might be expressed, the facts
remained the same. She alluded to
the literature of her country Ms afford
ing an index OF mental development
and power that places her in the front
rank of the intellectual nations.
The women were, however, kept
in ignorance, from precisely the
