OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TER.
OLYMPIA. IlIDAI EVENING, MARCH %. 1859.
The REASON WHY.

Tuesdays issue Of the Oregonian
contains we'll written article from the
pen OF Gen. Tyner, on Olympia, " Its
Noted Beauty" and "The New Order
of Thinge," which we propose to make
the subject OF future notes and COM
ments. At present We quote the rea-
sons given for popular confidence in
the rapid growth Of our city, as fol-
lows:
"Olympia is to day the wealthiest
city per capita in the Territory. Her
assessed valuation with that of Thurs
ton county, and at the lowest known
valuation, or manner thereof in the
Territory, gives this section more
wealth than any other, east or west OF
the mountains. Olympia never has
had, has never sought, and always
fought against boom. She has never
had any railway outlet, save the
diminutive log-pulling, meandering
railway not running in conjunction with
anything but the placid desires Of its
manipula.ors, and yet the bit Of mar
row-gauge road earns more money in
proportion to the amount involved
than any railway in the Territory !;
hence the complacency Of its few
owners. Olympia is soon to have
railway connection in full form with
Gray's Harbor. thus giving the city
direct ocean connection with San
Francisco and China, the first by 400
miles less travel, through less danger
GUS waters, than either Seattle or Ia
coma. The distance to China is $50
miles less than via the Straits. Olym-
pia has . well settled and we'll de-
veloped agricultural country surround
ing her, from which farmers ara daily
hauling all kinds Of produce, from
wheat to chickens and eggs and but
ter, besides raising and selling cattle,
horses and sheep. Living il much
better, and about ons-haN cheaper
here than my other point on the
Sound. This city has as fine a har-
Dor ~ any city, and no further from
the city than at Whatcom or other
points. There is more ehorc-line to
build upon here than any Sound city.
In short, the veil settled, esta blished
and weltto-do population is here; and
last, bat not least, this i q lovely city
inlocation, and population and society
are superior and settled. The capital
= hsss and win stay here. and lots
and laad are cheaper than At any
other point, not excepting localities
where nothing yet exists, and this
property will continue to grow in de-
mand from this on" Here then is
the cause that influences level headed
people 70 put money in Olympia.

A LAKE HELEN ROMANCE.
A Strange, Almost Startling Exper
ence for One so Young,

A Strange, Almost Startling Expert
ence for One so Young.
From the Lake Helen Life in Florida,
The hero of our story, whom we will call
Mr.. Smith, has been at the Harlan hotel
for week or two, but is now in DeLand.
He spent the most Of last winter at the
Caicos, little group Of islands northeast Of
Cuba. His hotel was built on perpendic-
ular bluff overlooking the ocean, and the
morning before he was to sail for Havana
he was taking his usual after breakfast
stroll on the beach, gazing out on the
green waters and across to the neighboring
islands, when, without any warning what
ever, strong cord wound itself about his
legs, and something, which proved to be
large kite, partly dragged and partly
lifted him into the sea. The wind was
blowing briskly from the land, and away
he went over the breakers to the smoother
waters beyond.
He caught hold of the cord with his left
hand, and with the other kept his head
above water, he being a good swimmer.
He was about an hour going to the next
island, where large crowd awaited him
with surgeons aud restoratives, but he
needed very little attention in that direc-
ton, his only hurt being where the cord
had cut through his clothing and into the
Heshy part OF the leg.
The young lady VINO was flying the kite
with others launched boats and put out for
his rescue, but did not reach him until he
had nearly reached the solid earth. OF
course the peril he had been in from her
carelessness caused her much nervous agita-
ton, and with her sympathy there was
mixed a stronger attachment at least so
the result has proved. The boat he had en-
gagged passage on stopped for him the
next day, and, his business at Ha-
vana being so pressing, he was with re-
luctance obliged to leave his new made
friends
Last summer he came to New York, but
his legs continued to trouble him and grew
worse, the doctors said caused by poisoning
his blood with the coloring of his pants. In
Pennsylvania he heard of DR.. Leggett
through some of her patients, but whether
from the name or not, cannot say, but he
took a notion that she could help him, and
SO followed her to Lake Helen, and in the
few days he has received treatment from
her his trouble has nearly left him, or, as
he expressed it, 'has put him on his feet
again" But the strangest part of the
story is yet to be told Yesterday afGer
taking bath at the Sanitarlum, and while
on his way to Harlan hotel, he saw car
riage approaching, which proved to be
from DeLand, and what was his astonish-
ment and delight, when he recog lied the
young lady, with her father and mother,
who few the kite that caught his legs that
caused the pain, that brought him here.
They all went back to the hotel and in the
hour, there, the day was set for their we'd
ding, and although he did not tell me the
day, there Is no doubt but what the Christ
mas bells will ring him in the happiest man
In all Florida.

The Norwegian bark Transatlantic,
which cleared Tuesday for Granton, was to

which was paid. Since then the captain
has seen nothing of detective, money, or the
missing members of the crew.

THE WESTERN UNION SUED.
Ellen Savage Wants 500 Damages
Because of Delayed Telegram.

Ellen Savage wants 500 Damages
Because OF a Delayed Telegram.
A 800 damage suit against the Western
Union Telegraph Company brought by
Ellen Savage (colored) in Justice Patterson's
court consumed the entire afternoon yester-
day. The argument was upon motions for a
dismissal Of the case 1t was a hard fight
between 7. s. Morgan for tue plaintiff, and
W. S. Chisholm, Jr., for ths telegraph
company.
The Savage woman alleged that a tele-
gram was sent from Jacksonville, Fla,
Nov. l, early in the day, announcing the
death of relative, and asking her
to 60 to Jacksonville at once, aud she did
not receive the telegram until late the fol-
lowing day. Her counsel urged that the
non-delivery of the telegram was clearly a
failure upon the part of the company, and
the law fixes the penalty at 500, the amount
sought to be recovered. This was met by a
motion from the defense setting forth that
the statute prescribing the penalty for
which the plaintiff sought to recover an
piled only to messages sent from a point
within the state, and did not apply to
messages from a point outside of the state.
1t was also held by the defense that the
state cannot regulate the delivery and
Transmission of Geographic messages from
points one of which is without the limits
of the state.
This motion was overruled by Justice Pat
terson, and the defense introduced an
amended motion that justics court had
no jurisdiction in the case. 1t was argued
that its juris fiction was limited and its
duties are clearly def red by the constitu-
ton Of the state in the following: "rhis
court has jurisdiction only in all civil cases
arising ese-cOntrdctW, and in cases OF
injury, and of damage to personal property
where the principal sum does not exceed
s1OO." And it has no jurisdiction of any
act to recover a statutory penalty.
Justice Patterson reserved his decision
until later in the afternoon, when he de
cided to dismiss the case. 1t is understood
that it will be carried to the city court.
