THE SOUBKETTE.

IT'S years, soubrette, since last we met,
And yet, alb yet, how swift and tender
Ny thoughts go back in Times dull track
To you, sweet pink OF female genderl
shall not say-though others may
That Time all human joy enhances;
But the same old thrill comes er me still
With memories OF your songs and dances!
And, 10! tonight, the phantom light,
That as a sprite plays on the fender,
Reveals a face whose girlish grace
Brings back tho feeling, warm and tender,
And all the while the old-tirne smile
steals DER my visage grim and wrinkled-
As though, soubrette, your footballs yet,
Upon my rusty heartstrings tinkled!

The bill for the formation Of Columbia terri
tory, IA answer TO this memorial, was earnestly
supported by Delegate Lane, who. in advocat-
ing its passage in q speech in the House, said:
Aside from the seeming reflection upon the
legislative department iof the government OF
Oregon and waving the consideration OF what
is therein represented as sectional strife be-
tween the people north and those south Of the
Columbia, can scarcely hope TO add TO the
causes set forth in this memorial, and 10 what
have already remarked in the expectation o.
influencing this House in favor OF the passage OF
this bill.
On motion OF Mr. Stanton, Of Kentucky. the
bill was amended by striking out the word
"Colunbia'' and inserting "Wsshington" IN
lieu thereof. On February 10. 1858, the bill thus
amended passed the House by a vote of l25 yeas
to 70 nays, the nays by states being: Ohio, .:
Indiana, 1; Alabama, 5; North Carolina, 4; South
Carolina, 3: Georgfs, 4; Tenuessee. 4; New York,
2; Virginia 1: Louisiana, j.: Maryland and New
Jersey l. On March the bill passed tbs senate
without opposition.
Following the passage of this bill in due time
Isaac T. stevens was appointed governor aud ex-
OFF clio superintendent of Indian affairs OF Wash
ington territory, aud was by the secretary Of
war intrusted with exploration and survey
OF a railroad from the headwaters OF the Nissts-

ceived soon after his appointment, or rather

For week or TWO there has been
talk aGoat Of great combine OF Wheel
ing jobbers in the coHee business, but
when any OF those who were supposed
to be interested we're inquired OF they
were disposed to be reticent Yester-
day an official notice appeared in the
INrELLlGENcEn calling meeting OF the
stockholders OF the Wheeling Coffee
aud Spice Company. 1t was signed by
Joseph Speidel, Myron Hubbard, James
Cummins, James Neill and ]. II. De-
wore, incorporators. 1t was learned by
reporter in the course OF the day
that much OF tho talk that had been
heard was premature. but at the same
time it was not very wide OF the truth.
The company so far consists oil every.
jobber in the city with the exception oil
the S. Baer's Sons Grocery Company.
This firm has already begun the erec-
ton OF big block, in which will be
coffee roasting establishment, and for
this reason and others was not IN q
position to enter the combine.
Yesterday the last of the other Job
bers who handle coffee joined the COM
pany John @. BARLEY, late OF Balti-
more, an experienced coffee man, with
national reputation, will be the su-
perintendent. He is now IN the east to
buy improved coffee roasting machin-
cry, which will be here in few days.
The new company starts with a capt.
tai stock Of S20,OG9. At the start the
building heretofore occupied by Joseph
speidel & Co. as a coffee roasting es-
adjustment will be used by the COM
pany, butt is safe to wager that with
such backing as the company has it will
be compelled in q short time to enlarge
its facilities. The jobbCrs in Wheeling
sell enough coffee in year to make
considerable plant for that interest
alone, and Wheeling may congratulate
herself that they have "pooled their is
sues" and will hereafter operate as one

been an old voter that you are sure to
be listed. See for yourself that your
name is on the list. 1t will not only
avoid you trouble at the polls, but you
will then be sure that you can cast your
ballot. The law on the subject reads
as follows:
at shall be the duty OF each assessor
in this state to list, as far as he can by
due intelligence ascertain, the name Of
every qualified voter in each magister-
ial district OF his assessment district,
and to enter them in separate list for
each magisterial district, arranged in
the alphabetical order of the names OF
the voters"
1t has been discovered on examine
ton OF the assessors books that hun
dreds OF legal voters are not listed.
As will be seen by an advertisement
the assessors will be at the rooms OF
the Board OF Commissioners from Octo-
Der 8 to Sinclustve, from 10 to u a. IN.

lister all voters who have not been list

1t is a fact not generally known that
when completed the new block OF the

claims that distinction, but the Baer
building will be ohe-seventh larger than
Jenkins's. The building is a marvel,

One of the Worlds Finent.

The new system of waterworks COM
pleted at cost of SIS, $50, 900 at Bombay,
India, and opened by the viceroy OF India,
has been seven years in construction. The
water is drawn from Tansa lake, an arti-
fical body of water formed by dam in thu
valley and having superficial area of
eight or nine square miles. The reservoir
is seven miles broad and has a tributary
area of SO square miles. The dam is two
miles long, III feet high, 100 feet thick at
the base and Is feet at the top. In some
places the foundation reaches As feet below
the level of the soil. The dam contains
IL, 900, 900 feet of masonry which it has
been calculated will make a wall 100 miles
long, 10 feet high and 2 feet thick. The
water is conveyed by a duct eight feet high
to within Is miles OF Bombay and thence
into the city by a four foot iron main.
There are go miles of tunneling. Thirty
one million gallons OF water are supplied
daily.
