Wonderful Feather Work.

Among the strange tribes Of men
about whom little Is known are the
C~hamacocos, living on the upper Para.
quay river. An Italian artist, Signor
Roggiani, who visited these people NOT
long ago, has given n vivid description
of their appearance and customs. Like
all wild tribes in warm countries. they
wear very little clothing, but they excel
in the art of making personal adorn-
ments from the feathers of birds. Their
country abounds with birds of the most
beautiful plumage, including parrots,
toucans and trogons. whose feathers
are dazzling in color, rheas. with gray
plumes, musk ducks of a glossy black
color. egrets with feathers OF pure
white, and spoonbills Of n delicate pink
hue. The ChamacocOs combine all Thu

THE BALocHMYLRs ARRIVAL.
Safe in Port After a rempestuous Pas
sage from Newcastle.

The old colonial trader Balochmyle
came into the harbor OF Astoria ysster-
day, after a passage Of 76 days IRON
Newcastle, n. S.w. Captain TAFT, her
commander, reports rather unpleasant
voyage; this and an accident which
occurred four days after leaving New
castle has had. no doubt. a good deal
to do with the length Of the passage
At about p. m. on January S. 1876.
while the ship was in latitude i29 south
1889 east she encountered very severe
weather and was dismantled. her main
topmast carrying away about five feet
above the lower cap. The wreckage fell
partly on deck and partly over the side,
and, in order to save the ship. the gear
and rigging had to be cut away. After
almost superhuman efforts the decks
were finally cleared and the ship was
once more headed for Portland. under
jury rig. The heavy iron topsail yards
were broken like carrots. and her power
full pitch-pine topmast splintered like
matchwood. The loss of canvass and
ropes was great. particularly on the
mainmast
Captain TAFT and his crew, however,
did not remain idle; every available suar
and plank was used up in making new
masts and fishing yards that were brok-
Sil. 1dNStES anu ndullUE lines were
utilized in making rigging and when .he
vessel arrived here yesterday she did
not look as II she had passed through
such an ordeal; but to the practical sea-
man she appeared a sort of nondescript
craft, for. while she had double topsails
on the fore. she carried the old-fashioned
single topsail on the main, with double
topgallant sails on the fore. while the
main was minus both upper and lower
topgallant yards. The ship, as sketched
at the time by one OF the officers, is a
truly marvellous sight
The vessel will take out part of her
cargo here and then proceed to Portland.
The damage to the vessels rigging, while
serious, has in no wise, however, inn
paired the hull and Captain TAFT ex-
poets little detention, II any, on account
OF the mishap. Captain TAFT deserves
great credit for bringing his vessel safely
into port, Many a shipmaster would
no doubt have run his vessel into some
New Zealand port and re-fitted her. All
the world likes a plucky man, and Il Is
to be hoped Captain TAFT will have his
reward from the proper quarters

THE FINANCIAL MARKET.
A Good ooutlook for Firm Money Mar
ket In Future,


New York. March a.-The Financier
says:
The statement OF the associated banks
Of New York City for the week ending
March q reflects the prevailing shrinkage
In the money market. The loan expan-
sion for the week was not quite 81 00o. IN
The outward movement OF currency still
continues, and II Is the prevailing sem
timent that the return tide will not set
In until April or perhaps later. There
are signs. however. that this fow Is
nearing Its end and while there has been
n fair demand from western centers. ex-
change rates are easing slightly. The
outlook. however. is for a Arm money
market for some time to come. The
government depository banks last week
turned over four millions into the treas
ury in response to the call for the ~
per cent payment and as the sum remain
ing to be paid is very large one, the
amount OF payments to be made has an
Important bearing on the general situa-
tion. The excess reserve is down to $eO.-
10000 and a call for the balance Of the
government deposits would have an en-
barrassing effect on the market as the
reserves Of the banks are In many cases
at low point. The treasury is. how
ever. treating the banks literally in this
matter, and no fear II is said may b.
apprehended from such cause.

REORGANIZATION PLAN.
VIII Be OF Great Benefit to Communities

Northern Pacific reorganization. says,
under authority of Chairman Adams. of
the reorganization committee:
While the carrying out of the pro-
posed reorganization viii mean much to
security holders Of the Northern Pacific
II VIII hardly mean less to communities
which the system serves. 1t may be
taken for granted that the. local senti-
ment will be favorable to reorganized
company, since the road is to be main
tained as separate system. By i'm
proving the property. ii will be placed
In a better position to meet the require
ments OF the various sections travarsed
by the road. Furthermore, the reorgan-
izers propose to spend large amounts
Immediately for such improvements, and
this Will have a marked effect In slim
ulating trade in the Northwest.
Finally, 1t is the intention to pursue
vigorous policy in the development of
the territory tributary to the road 10y

usual attention is centered upon this

entry OF the Yale crew, there are entries
from rowing clubs from Holland, France
and Germany. 1t is also hoped the fs-
nous Argonaut Club, of Toronto, win
again cross the Atlantic and compete
In consequence. the officials are making

be the record year.

STILL IN SESSION.
Not Thought Likely the Cannerymen
VIII Effect a Combine.

Portland, March A.-Saturday night
finds the cannerymen still talking with
no solution of the vexed questions con-
fronting them yet provided. They are,
II anything. more at sea than at any time
during the session. and 1t is not at all
without the range OF probability that q
combination will not be formed at this
time. Some of the members left for
home this evening, but those remaining
are holding another session tonight. From
the present outlook, 1t will result as all
others have. Their seems at this tlmu
no way TO harmonize the various clash
ing elements sufficiently to allow a sue
cessful combination to be made.
The meeting OF packers adjourned to-
night to reconvene in the parlors of
the Portland Tuesday. Many matters OF
import have been settled, but nothing
tending to realization OF the primary
object for which the meeting was called.
The meetings have been exciting, In that
almost each one had an idea of his own
TO introduce which he strenuously sup
ported, but the result has always been
the same 1t is understood other con-
solidation schemes are in PREPARATION for
Tuesday, and that at that time the de-
sired combination will be formed Mem

tail Of the matters considered In the

WEEKS TRADE.

New FORK. March 2l.-Bradstreet's says
the general trade throuhgout the United
States for the FIRST quarter OF 1875 is dis
appointing. When the Improvement in
Industrial and commercial lines between
March and September, 1895. is recalled,
occurring, as II did, two years after the
panic OF 1898, the reason would seem to
have been behind confidence that the cur
rent calendar year will bring general
revival. But the most favorable reports
at this time are those which declare the
volume OF business only equal to, and
In a few instances in excess OF, a like
total one year ago.
