The Storm at Sea.
The rainstorm that played havoo in the
Willamette valley ou Satusday, Fob. 1st, and
succeeding days, blew a gale from the south
on the ocean, us those who were at tea at the
time will long remember. Ou the morning
of the 2d, at 1 1 o'oluck, the steamer Santa
Uosa, ou her outward jotiruey, haj hardly
eucounlercd the Columbia ' tur when the
"high roller." almost overturned the ship.
Theie wa. a loud crash of dishes in the pan
try, and tbo food of the middy launch waa
scattered on tho floor. Women and children
creamed and .cores of (lomacht rebelled.
Ouo man fainted, another waa knocked
senseless, a third nearly .lipped overboard,
ami a (ourlh had bit Angers cut off by the
V.Oivut (.hutting ui liettty uour. OthvfS
were tussling on the floor with chair, and
buggiigo. The sudden woo of those in the .
throe, of tea-sickuest was Indescribable. He.
yond the dangcrout bar the tea rolled iu
great wives, aud during the 30 honra follow
ing the crew as well as the passengers, over
UK) souls, feared that they would never tee a
church epira a -a in. Ever and anon the
steamer's .crew was lifted out of the water.
The waves beat with fury against the hot.
turn, and the wood-work squeaked an end
less, mouruful sijueak. The raiu waa iucea
taut. On Hearing San Francisco the even
ing of (be Mi, the tea became calm and the
pent-up misery of the passenger, relieved it
elf in music and tong. aud square meals

iSlaugbtcrlni; Deer,
For an unparalleled .laughter of deer for
their hidot toluly, an account reaches ut
(rom the iboret of 11 1 vert inlet, on the
northern coast, which teems almost incredi
ble, tayt the Victoria Colonist. Still it it a
fact, and it graphically described by oue who
wat iu the vicinity at the time of the round
up:
The tpot wat on the shore of River, inlut,
where a band of deer numbering over 100
came down to the beach from the highlandt
to nibble at aeaweed for tustcnanoo, the
deep mow at the time preventing them from
obtaining grata or roolB in the forest. When
the herd reached the beach they were nearly
buried in the deep mow, and meaut of loco
motion wero next to impossible. Indians,
seeing the plight of the animals, started for
thorn with olubt, and there and thon dis
patched the entire bond, akinned them for
the take of their hides aud left the carcasnea
on the beach to rot. It it in a manner like
thit that doer will eventually become at
scarce at the buffalo of the plaint, It there
no romedy?

The last Republican Speaker before Heed,

savory memory, named J. Warren Keifer.
The next fall after hit performance! at
Speaker, the country elected a House con

cans, a Democratic, majority of 72. It would
not be turprising if history should repeat it
elf next year. l!y the way, tbit Keifer en
joyed the unique distinction of going out
of office without the usual compliment to the
fairness of the Speaker by a unanimous vote
of lhauks. A division wat demauded and
the vote of thaukt adopted by 8G to 8 lu a
House of 293 members. Speaker Reed ha.

noyed for pursuing the "innocent"' pastime

"called" by the police. Wivee may go text

everything goes.
