A Missouri Girl.

A gentleman out riding on the east
side the other day witnessed rare ex-
libition of spirit in 4 young lady well
known in society circles. She was out
calling in her fathers carriage behind
one of the fastest private tehnas in thd
city Her 'coachman was Of the old
French type, which considered itself
greater than the king when driving his
royal highness.
Tho young lady ordered the carriage
stopped at q certain number, and
handed the coachman card to present
at the door. He objected to going OH
such an undignihed mission. She df2
dered, and he replied that he was not a
messenger boy; whereupon the young
lady grew suddenly two inches in stat
ure and with dignity that even a
coachman might have Nnvied she or
dered him to give her The reins and get
out of the carriage. He saw that every
line in her face indicated business and
abdicated his throne. With greater ease
than many men can boast she sat upon
the back seat Of the open carriage and
drove home at 2:40 gait.-Kansas City

Beware OF RO0rback's.

1t has reached our ears through sever
al sources that the Democrats of Western
Washington propose to spring a story 4
few dayI before election to the effect that
Chinese coolies are admitted TO this
country as merchants by the collision OF
CollectorBradshew with outside parties.
1t IS Sufficient relutation to all such SLAM
dtlous stories to state that before a Chi
naman leaves Victoria, British Column
bla, lie must secure a certificate both
from the mayor of the city and the har-
Dor master, setting forth the fact that
the applicant is merchant, and giving
his place OF business. These certificates
are then taken to the American consul,
who issues certificate and affixes his
seal OF Office to the papers. These Ger.
titicates are then handed to the inspector
sf customs before the Chinaman is per-
mitted on the boat, and should the in
spector have any suspicious that the
man Is not merchant, even after the
papers have been properly executed, he
is not permitted to 90 aboard the boat
1t has frequently happened that Col
lectOr Bradshaw has been dissatisfied
with the proofs presented, there being
indications that the man is not mer-
chant, and they have been returned to
Victoria the same day they landed here.
4 case of this character happened last
week when three were returned When
Chinese merchant arrives here, and
every thing is found to be correct, his
papers are surrendered TO the collector
or a deputy in the custom bouse here,
and are retained until the man is ready
to return. Reaching Victoria his pa
pers are taken in charge by the Cana.
dian custom officers. Oh these certifi=
Gates but fifteen are now held in the Gus.
tom houge here, the merchants not hav=
ing completed the transaction OF their
business, The deputy through whose
hands these papers pass here is Isaac P
Calhoun, than whom no man could he
more strict i'll the performance OF his du
ties, or whose charactsH for honesty and
integrity is brighter. Republicans in
every part of the territory should Under;
stand that such an attack Is Aado with
an idea to defeat the party, and that it is
a lie manufactured out of the whole
cloth, and that no attention should be
paid TO them. When Collector Brad
shaw assumed his duties here he did so
intending TO Garry out the law to the let-
ter, and to do so fearlessly. The affairs
of the Office are always open to the in
spection of the public whenever inter
este,l.

Too Mach whiskey Causes a Row.

Sunday morning at ten O'Clock
Charlie Thomas employed on the boom
at the HadlocK mill, wont ont to Bish-
ops Hop ranch where he met Charlie"
an indian, and his wife. They all got
drunk on whiskeyw which Thomas had in
his possession. When very drunk they
came to the vicinity OF the halfway
house where they remained until five p.
N. when they left for his home via HID
lock. When going UP the Chimacum
road, just after leaving Hadlock, the
three indians got into brawl. They
fought for a time, Thomas getting the
worst of it. The men separated and
Thomas left for home. He had gone
but a short distance when Charlie"
threw stone at him striking hin some
where about the body. Thomas then
returned and attacked Charlie with a
knife, cutting him in the back. The
klutchman then attacked Thomas and
he cut her in the arm severing the en-
brachial artery and she bled to death.
Citizens arrested the stabbeT and held
him until Deputy Sheriff Jones went over
on Sunday night and brought Thomas
to this place. The wounG ed man was net
seriously injured being able to attend the
inquest yesterday.

A High Singer,

The lark ascends until it looks no larger
than midge, and can with difficulty be
seen by the unaided eye, and yet every
note will be clearly audible to persons
who are fully half a mile from the nest
over which the bird utters its song
Moreover, it never ceases 10 sing for a
moment, feat which seems wonderful
to us human beings. who md that a song
of six pr seven minutes in length, though
interspersed with rests and pauses, is
more than trying. Even practiced pub
lie speaker, though he can pause at the
end of each sentence, finds the applause
of the audience a very welcome relief.
Moreover, the singer and speaker need to
use no exertion save exercising their
voices. Yet the bird will pour out con-
tinuous song of nearly twenty minutes
in length, and ali the time pas to sup
port itself in the air by the constant use
of its wings.-The Naturalist.

dirt was taken from the bluff at the head
of Water street where the excavating is
now being done. Old miners say that
twenty years ago it was known that gold
existed, but prospect Was never found.
1t is not thought that this find will
