A HAUNTED MAINTOP.

Talking about ghosts, our chief
mate once told me that on board a
ship in which be had served, the mate
on duty ordered one OF the youths to
reef the maintopsail. When he first
got up he heard strange voice say
ing, ut blows hardT The lad waited
for no more; he was down in O trice
and told his adventure. A second
Immediately ascended, laughing at
the folly OF his companion, but re-
turned even more quickly, declaring
that he was quite sure that voice,
not of this world, had cried in his ear,
1T blows hard" Another went, and
another, but each came back with the
same tale.
At length the mate, having sent up
the whole watch, ran up the shrouds
himself, and when he reached the
haunted spot heard the dreadful
words distinctly uttered in his ear:
at blows hardr'
SAY, ay, old one; but, blow it ever
so hard, we must ease the earrings for
all that" replied the mate undaunt-
edly, and, looking round, he saw a
fine parrot perched on one of the
clews-the thoughtless author of the
false alarms-which had probably es-
capped from some other vessel to take
refuge on this.
Another OF our officers mentioned
that on one of his voyages he remem.
bered boy having been sent to clear
a rope which had got foul above the
mizzentop. Presently, however, he
came back trembling, and almost
tumbling to the bottom, declaring
that he had seen "Old Davy" aft the
crosstrees. Moreover. that the evil
one had huge head and face, with
prickears and eyes as bright as fire.
Two or three others were sent UP in
succession, to all of whom the appari-
tion glsred forth, and was identified
by each to be "Old Davy" sure
enough.
The mate, in a rage, at length
mounted himself, when resoluteIy, as

which, when any one approached the

Visage to see what was coming. The
mate brought him down in triumph,

"A MERE GENERALITY"

The British bark A7iGdi1e, now or
her way down, was loaded to II feet
9 inches, but detained in Portland
five days so that she could be loaded
more. After five days detention she
was allowed to start, being loaded to
19 feet, and taking her chance ol
sticking" somewhere up the creek.
Say she loads fifteen tons to the inch
the increased fifteen inches between
II IT,, 9 in and 19 IT,, would give 225
tons more than the vessels five addi-
tional days detention at Portland en-
abled her to load: call the 225 tons,
$50 short tons: this. at so cents ton,
represents S125. To save" this S125
the charterers OF the AriGdne kept
the vessel waiting at Portland FIVE
days for tide high enough to justify
her starting drawing 19 feet. Saying
nothing of demurrage-4d per ton
per day-but only placing the ships
expense at the moderate SUM of eS-
S40-s day, it appears that it cost the
ship 5000 to save $125-and to ena.
BILE Portland to get name for being
q deep sea port.
This is not "a mere generality" 1t
is an actual occurrence, a specific
statement of fact.
It is not an isolated case. 1t oc-
ours right along. 1t is one of the
things that makes the Columbia river
an expensive place to come to, and is
one OF the restrictions to commerce"
which the Oregonian grows
spasmodically eloquent.
The remedy for this, that is the
real, radical avoidance of this, is to
load the ships at Astoria; to that it
must come. Portland cannot COM
pete with the Sound. Astoria can.
If Portland; il the OregoniGn; if the
shippers of that pleasant inland city
are sincere in their professions Of
smity and desire OF cooperation, let
them recognize this, for "to this
complexion must it come at last"

TBLEGRAPHIO REPORT.

DENVER, Jan. 80. Word is received
here from a very high railroad au.
thority to the effect that Charles
Francis Adams will retire from the
presidency Of the Union Pacific rail-
way on March 1st. The report saws
that Adams feels the work he was
selected to perform has been as
nearly accomplished as possible, aud
that there is nothing further he can
do. Although he has not been en-.
tIrely successful in settling the gov
ernment trouble, he has brought the
finances of the road to an excellent
point. and his offer of the presidency
OF the new presidents association
evidently from the report strikes him
as good opportunity to resign the
presidency of the Union Pacific.
BRITISH SEAL PIRATES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-The eYi.
dence given before the congressional
committee investigating government
affairs at the seal islands of Alaska
created considerable comment in Ger.
tain circles that have taken live in
terest in the investigation, particu-
larly the statement of Capt. Shepherd
OF the revenue cutter Rush. A sig
nitcant feature of his testimony is
the statement that in the season of
1883 he made no seizures because of
confidential instructions from the
secretary OF the treasury not to inter
fere with illegal sealers. He testified
that these marauders must have ia
ken in 1888 between 2500O and 26.OOO
skins. Thomas Ryan of this city. ex.
treasury agent OF the seal islands. and
accounted among the best authorities
on the seal fisheries in question, in
an interview this evening said: Capt.
Shepherds report is positively start
ling. 1t shows clearly that our DOS
sessions in the seal islands have been
robbed by direct or indirect conni-
vance OF some one high in authority.
l am thoroughly familiar with the
whale question, and do not hesitate
to charge that gigantic fraud on
the government is being covered up.
The 26,OO0 skins which Shepherd
swears he knew were taken last wear
by pirates sailing under the British
flag would bring at Victoria or San
Francisco $4,000. For the privi-
lege of committing this theft unmo-
Tested the pirates could afford to pay
a good round sum, and am interest
ed to hear who got the money. II
am watching to see whether the com.
mittee will dare probe this steal to
the bottom and trace the bribe money
that surely passed.
Captain Shepherd testifies that un-
der his instructions from the treasury
department he could not seize the
pirates, although he found them en-
gagged in unlawful work.
