AT LAST Alexander Ivanhof, G
distinguished Scion of the victori
GUS empire of Russia, who first
made his appearance in this country
as an attache of the young Duke
Alexis; was left behind by that gen.
tleman through some unaccountable
oversight, and has since passed
through the vicissitudes incident to
American life. Alexander was a
blonde and baritone, and visited
this city some time ago in company
with the Richings-Bernard opera
troupe. On the departure OF that
company, through some irregulari-
ty, he was left behind, as i'll the case
of Alexis. Not being a prudent
man, what money he had was soon
expended, and he then found that q
noble in Seattle without cash was
ne better than any other man in the
same condition. He was large
man, of compact frame, but he
couldn't work-he wasn't used to it!
Processing to be Catholic, he in
gratiated himself into the good will
of the congregation of that church,
and was attached to the choir. where
he sang on several Sundays. Express
sing himself very desirous to visit
San Francisco. where he would be
more likely to meet his fellow mobiles,
the young ladies of the Catholic con-
gregation circulated subscription
paper and soon collected sufficient
fund to not only pay his passage to
that city, but to sustain him some
time after getting there. The money
was passed over to Alexander who.
true to his noble instincts, instead
of at once proceeding on his journey,
proceeded at once to get on a big
drunk, and finally waded into the
bay with the intention of ending his
unhappy life. But the cold salt
chuck brought him to his reason.
and soon after, hearing Of the ele-
giant culture of the people of Olym-
pia, he sought that burg. There
finding it more popular to be on the
Methodist side he at once flung him
self into the arms of that church,
and has since fed and supped at its
hospitable board. Only few days
ago the ladies of Olympia gave him
a grand benefit, realizing funds suffi-
cient to take him to his desired
haven, and if he is at all prudent he
will not "wait on the order ef his
going, but go at once" From the
fact that Alexander left several bills
unpaid here, and expended the
money raised in good heart by the
young ladies in riotous living.
shadow rests upon his name which
can only be obliterated by his future
good conduct.


A DELUsIoN.-A A maniac, writing
under the nom de plume of ''Shy
Low" from Kittitas Valley to the
Portland Standard, and who was for
merly a correspondent of the Tri-
6une of this city. indulges in half
a column of balderdash about Mos
es, the great chief of the Yaki-
mas; speaks Of his nobility of char
acter, intelligence, and all that,
when in fact he is one of the most
miserable scrubs in the Territory.
and SO are his "brave warriors. "
Moses is no different from the rest
of his kind, and is too lazy too
work, but not too honest to steal.
He is known to be mdrderer and
horse thief by every old settler in
the valley. In fact, with few ex-
ceptions, the whole crowd are as
miserable and worthless a set of
dogs as ever breathed the air of
heaven. Their highest ambition is
to go tearing over the sagebrush on
the back of o haif-starved cayuse,
while the squaws stay at home and
do all the work. It's no use talking,
an ''Ingin is an Ingin" everywhere,
and the Yakima Indians are no bet
ter than the rest of them. This we
know, because we have been thar"
Shy Low to the contrary, notwith-
standing.
