him to pay for opium sold to the owners.
He replied:
The vessel was attached In Vancouver for .

that had been refused payment The reason
that the draft was dishonosed was that the
vessel had been turned over to the mortgage

Predicament Of . Chinaman Who Want
to Return Hero.

to Return Here.
Ong Tong is Chinaman who has Just
found out that it is easier to 60 to British
Columbia than to return from there.
Some four or five days ago he made up
his mind to take trip to Victoria, and
procured q certificate describing him as q
member of the firm of Sun Chong & Co.,
of this city. When he was ready to re-
turn he sent his certificate to Collector
WATSON, and the latter forwarded it to
Deputy Collector Mckenzie for investiga-
ton. Inquiry at Sun Chong's store made
yesterday morning resulted in statements
by Chong that he had no partner.
The name displayed over the store. which
is tailoring establishment, was merely
Sun Chong, and made no mention of any
partnership. Yesterday afternoon. how
ever, Chong sent . messenger to Mr.. Nc
Kenzie to tell him that he had not recog-
nized him as a customs officer or he would
have admitted that Ong Tong was his
partner.
The fact was. he said, that Tong had a
San Francisco creditor who was continu-
ally dunning him and he mis.ook McKen-
gle for collector. These statements have
been forwarded to Collector WATSON. but if
Tong is allowed to return at all it will
probably be subject to investigation of his
true status.

Mr.. Terry's business had grown to such

Evidently the brig carried a good stock
OF liquors aud tobacco and did a thriving
trade in the little town about Christmas
and New Years. Capt. Howard is next
credited with pound Of candles at 81 per

the number of feet of piiing loaded by the
settlers on the Leonesa, beginning on De-
cena5er 10 and ending on January I. 1852.
They worked every day except SUNDAYS,
not stopping for either Christmas or New
Year, though their industry seems to have
tagged on the former day and no; to have
revived until December 29. The biggest

Among his most treasured possessions s
L. Crawford counts two time-worn old
pocket account books closed with clasps,
which most people would think hardly
worth picking MP on the street. Yet these
little books contain some interesting his
tory of the early life of Seattle. for they
are the account books Of the first store
opened in the settlement by Charles c.
Terry, who was among the little party
which landed at Aiki point on a dull
November day in 1851. They had long
been lost, but few days ago II. C. Henry
found them while ransacking over some
old papers in his vault in the Halter
block. He handed them over to E. L.
Terry, as the heir of the deceased owner
with whom he was best acquainted and
the latter made present of them to Mr..
collector of memorials OF pioneer days.
These books were evidently bought by
Mr.. Terry at Portland. on his way to the
Sound, for there is written on the fy-ieaf
of the FIRST Of them. 'Chas. C. Terry. Port

he brought with him on this trip, as fol-

What young lady gave you the

the boys earnestness.
A little girl about my age at Judge
Weston's. II is holiday for me from

cemetery where father is buried, and
going by the house saw the young

James Dalton, this boys father. had

did not need the corroborating testi-

Charlie Dalton did not sleep in prison
that night. He was an honored guest
at Judge Westonis, md became the
adopted son of that good old man, and

Judge Joel weston's house was
robbed one night just previous to Dec.
Grafton day. What the thieves OBJ.
tanned did not amount to much and did
not worry the old Judge in the least.
But with his gardener Il was different.
The rascals had effected an entrance
through his conservatory, and had evil
IDENTIFY madea hurried exit, doing com
siderable damage to many choice
plants. The appearance OF things in
the morning when the depreciation was
first discovered indicated that, for
some purpose, pure viciousness or
what It was hard to tell, a lot of
flowers had been taken away, for many
were missing and many were found
strewing the way the burglars had
gone.
Therefore 1t was old Sampson, the
irascible old gardener, who was the
most put out at the piece of villainy.
.The rascals," he sputtered as he
went about strengthening up the broken
orchids, American roses and palms.
Don't just wish could lay hand
on them once"
If the judge did not care particularly
for the flowers his wife and little
daughter did, and were almost heart
broken. s
"oh dear" sobbed the little miss;
"and to-day is Decoration day, and SO
many beautiful flowers spoiled that
might have been taken to the ceme-
terry"
Now, Ethel, perhaps you have
solved the problem" said the Judge;
"it is true you and your mother have
donated every flower in the outdoor
garden, but we may have people here
