From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington-, D. C. Nov. 2m?, 1382.
The Patent Oilico is receiving numer
ous complaints for its long and tedious
delays in deciding and acting upon appli
cations for patents. Every man is en
titled to the protection of the law a.s
quickly as it can he administered, and
in the c.as ef an inventor, where impor
tant contracts, vital to his interests and
those-of the public are pending to allow
his application to sleep mouths on an
examiners deck seems an injustice well
-.vorthyof pubTic condemnation. For the
last few years the surplus revenue turned
into the Treasury from the earnings of
the Patent OHice was in the neighbor of
a million dollars, and this year it will
be much more. There exists no valid
reason whv, in the interest of all that is
vital to the encouragement of a class of
men to whom we owe so much, a portion
of thesse earnings, should not be approp
riated for the employment of an addi
tional force of examiners.
' A week ago Washington was appar
ently deserted. To-day it is galvan
ized into new life by the lirst instal
ments of humanity incidental to the ap
proaching session ot Congress. Like a
fashionable watering place in July, the
national capital, from a sleepy old town
of deserted streets and closed hotels, sud
denly springs into importance. Crowds
again throng the avenues, brilliant colors,
gaily dressed people, dashing equipages
of every description, lively corridors and
the familiar faces of national characters,
statesman and loafers, all remind us of
the near approach of a lively winter.
It is pretty well understood that no
-appointments of importance will be
made by the President before the as
sembling of Congress. There is no pres
ent necessity for the filling of vacancies,
and in about three we;ks noaiinationns
can be made direct to the Senate. The
most important places to be filled are
those of the Assistant Secretaries creat
ed by act of the last Congress. Secre
tary Lincoln, when asked to-day who
was to be his assistant, remarked pleas
antly that he had not the slightest idea
and strange as it may seem there ap
pears little or no discussion of candidates.
There is probably no intention on the
part of any of the President's Cabinet
to resign, if we are to take their . word
for it. Nevertheless, it is thought alto
gether probable here that this winter
will see changes in at least two portfolios,
and those two the ones I have indicated.
President Arthur is the man who will
do the business.. It is possible that they
will be provided for elsewhere, but the
Treasury and Post Oifice are wanted,
the lirst for some Stalwart who can unite
toe u.ew xorK JLUrpuoucans against tne
formidable Presidential candidate, Cleve
land; the second for some one for simi
lar reasons. Ure water too, wants to
leave, but the Star Route cases will not
permit him.' lie is upon his mettle.
The first trial was a fiasco, through the
treachery and incompetance of his own
department. In the midst of the de-
cases lrtwster i.-j harassed on the inside
and out. To retire now is disgrace. lie
realizes ' this and in his desperation he
has begun to mend his fences by making
a sweep of suspected clerks preparatory
to the presents ti.jn of .his new cases.
Dr. Collins, of Minneapolis, brother
of JAmes J, Collins' who was lost with
the Jeannctte party, has left Washington
for home, lie is disappointed with the
attempt to bring out the completed facts
with reference to the fate of the Jean
w'tc party. He think there is an evi
ilfMif. intention on the oarfc of nav:il ofri-
eers to hush un the affair and to smother
'the truth about the niattar in every way
possible. The only way left for him, he
says, appeared to be either ask the wit
nesses such -questions as he desired to
put, or to sit by and watch the careful
avoidance of every question which would
tend to elicit such a state of things as
lie has evidence to show exists.
A democrat member of Congress from
Maryland, discussing the question of the
Speakership of t h- hous. yesterday,
said he thought the line between free
traders and protectionists would be ver
closely drawn, lfo --aid he -would not
be surprised to see aj Kplit in the demo
ratio prty result from the contest.
He said he had not as yet pledged him
self to support either Jtandall or Carlisle,
although both were verv able men, He
said ho was sorry to i see tbe bitterness
that was being exhibited between the
protectionists and free-traders, and ex
pressed a hope that the matter would be
settled without disturbing the harmonv
of the grand old party.

New York, November 27th, 18S2.
Thurlow Weed is dead, and the pa
pers are full of 'auditory notices of the
man who during tho last ' sixty years,
was certainly a power in American pol
itics. On the principle of De Jforiitzs
nil nisi bonum, i great deal of gush is
printed about him, and to read the obit
uaries and biographies with which news
papers and periodicals are flooded, one
would get the impression that one of
the greatest and best men the country
has ever produced ha.s passed away.
The truth is that Mr. Weed's influence
on American politics was bad, very bad.
He it was that organized wire pulling
and lobbying into the system and raised
it to a tine aft. A man of positive char
acter and strong will power, be hesitat
ed at nothing when the accomplishment
of an object was at stake. To him all
was fair provided you were. The polit
ical ' machine" is the outgrowth of his
methods, and it is all the worse because
generally the men at -the head of it are
brainless demagogues with no feeling of
honor, ambition and patriotism.
Personally, however, Mr. Weed was
kindly in the extreme. The amount of
money he annually gave away for char
itable purposes, thr time and labor lie
spent to do hundreds of poor fellows a
t-orvice, would hardly j be credible if told
in cold type. True, j he rich, b'dt
hpw few rich men who give to the needy
any of their "superabundance. Mr.
Weed was fond of young men in gener
al, and young newspaper men in partic
ular. It used to he 'an impressive sight
at Press Club receptions to see his tall
bent figure, picturesque face and silver
hair. Journalists are not as a rule easily
impressed nor are they fond of the past.
They live in the present and the future.
The past is an old newspaper to them.
But when Mr. Weed spoke to them, re
lated his struggles and experiences, and
gave his young friends" some sound
practical advice, either regarding their
profession or on life iii general, they list
ened with affectionate attention and re
spect. Mr. Weed was very fond of an
imals. He used to stand at the window
of his study, and feed all the sparrows
in the neighborhood. They knew him
as well as the thousands of people who
took of! their hats toj him in the street
and his appearance was the signal of an
amount of chirping and chattering which
would have demoralized any one but a
coufirrned lover of animals. His spec-
ial pets, however, were a white pigeon
and an Italian greyhound. . They were
with him constantly .until the evening
before he died. The pigeon had to be
excluded from his room first; because it
insisted in nestling on his pillow close
by his withered cheek; and cooing as if
to arouse him to 'consciousness. It was
locked up in another room, and there it
moaned almost like one in distress.
Two new dramatic productions are to
be brought out on Saturday night. The
first is a new comic bpera, by Gilbert
and Sullivan. The Peer and the Peri,"
or rather " Iolanthe," as it has been
christened. A great ileal lias been ex
pected of this work. The libretto is cap j
ital. It is written in that serio-comic
style, first introduced j in Pinafore, and
the Pirates, and is full of wit, bright
sayings and irresitibly jfunny . situations.
The music is full of melody, as in fact
all of Sullivan's productions are, and as
there are a number of j catchy airs in it,
1 think there is no doubt that every
lody will become familiar with the ope
ra. The mounting is very elaborate and
cost no less than 85.000.
Mr. Daly has been hard at work this
week, rehearsing his company for the
initial performance of "Our English
Friend," on Saturday evening. It is an
od-iptation made by Mr. H&Jy himself
of one of the successful German plays
of Moser and Rosen. The plot is simple
biit ingenius and amusing. It hinges
entirely on the complieat jons which arise
from a casual friend's visit to a country
house. Miss Ada Rohan, has been en
trusted with the principal part, and it is
one exactly suited to her, quaint girlish
graze and humor.
The Romany Rye, is neaving the end
of its reign at Booth's Theatre. It lias
had a run "of two months, and Brooks
and Dickson who have purchased the
right to play it in America, from Sims
the author, have made money. ; As I
stated when tho play was first produced
dramatically, it was poor and weak, and
the company is not first class, but even
now, everybody runs to Booth's to see
the charming scenery, wonderful me
chanical effects, and the dog Lion, who
is the best actor in the company.
Harrigan and Hart, are at last discov
ering that they made a mistake, when
they left the Held of distinctively Amer
ican vaudeville which was peculiarly
their own. Mordccai Lyons, Mr. Har
ridan's latest work, is a Hat failure and
is to be withdrawn shortly. Its place
is to bo taken by " Inflation," in which
Mr. Harrigan will again give us the
typical Irishman, and Mr. Hart the real
live Negro. Some of the scenes are laid
in Wall Street, and thus Mr. Harrigan
and his company will get back into a
country where they can travel without
a guide book, and in which the public
really wants to see them. The company
have met with a- severe loss this .week
in the death of Billy .Grey, the clever
comedian. Poor Billy ! Pneumonia
wasted no tinm an him. I think it is
scarcely a week ao,. that 1 met him in
the New York Hotel. " Will you sniileT
said I. " No thanks," I've got a bad
cold and I had rather not drink; I'll be
all over it in a day or two." Yes, it
was all over. His funeral on Thursday
was attended by nearly every theatrical
man and woman, for liilly, as everybody
called him, had not an enemy in the
world.
What a strange thing is fashion!
More fickle than fortune, and more un
stable than the likes and dislikes of her
votaries, woman. The latest decree or
ders that bonnets for day receptions and
the theatre, must ho " composed" of
velvet and flowris. The great loose
leaved asthetie flowers, which we fond
ly hoped had gone to ornament tho fur
garments of the Siberian beauty, or to
hide tne scantiness of toilet of the belle
of Africa, are quoted as favorites again.
The evening bonnet at present is very
small, no larger than a good sized Alsa
tian bow. Yet this very smallness makes
it more expensive?. A lady who is some
what economically inclined, tells me
that one could have bought a half doz
en beautifully trimmed pokes, much
larger and picturesque than these which
were fashionable last summer, for the
price asked for one cf these dainty lit
tle apologies for headgear. The leading
colors of velvet used for these hats, are
crushed strawberry, shrimp pink, simla
or cadet blue.
Plenty of liberty is allowed to individ
ual taste this winter, in the matter of
wraps. Anything from a Prince Albert
coat, or an English Newmarket coat, to
the dainty and elaborate French styles
may be worn. A charming French man
tle, copied after the creation of Worth's
is destined to become popular. It is
moderately short and is finished with
Oriental sleeves, a ruching of pink cloth,
and a fine band of velvet or down. It
may also be made plain on the edge and
finished with a full garniture of soutache
braid.
The newest polonaises are very bouff
ant at the back and are fitted like a Jer
sey at the waist and hips. The front
breadths are clinging and are usually
closed to form a wrinkled apron. The
polonaise is used for cloth and camel's
hair aud cashmere dresses, and is con
sidered too ordinary a style for handsome
calling or reception dresses. Plain vel
vet dresses made in tailor finish, are
growjng very jopular with people of
quiet tastes. Mrs. Langtry is credited
with the setting of this fashion.

The Kalania . Branch
Haviug secured the right, of way
through nearly all the hrtid on the sur
veyed route, The Northern Pacific Rail
road Company are making preparations
to build the line from Portland to Ka
lam a. This will connect the entire system
of railways of Oregon and Washington
with Puget Sound. The line is 39 miles
long. It will startat the site of the
proposed Union Depot in Couch's addi
ction, run north on North Front street
to Watson's addition, a short distance
west of Weidler's sawmill ; thence nearly
midway through the Shirlock property;
thence between Guild's lake and the
Willamette river; through Spring "ille ;
thence near the foothills west of Wil
lammette slough; It will cut off one
corner of the town-site of St. Helens;
will run through Columbia City about
1000 feet back from the Columbia riwr,
and will terminate with an incline at the
foot of Deer Island, opposite the town
of Ivalama.
In the construction there will be 475,
000 cubic yards of excavation, 45,000
of rock work, three miles of trestle, one
short truss bridge; over Miller creek, and
270 acres of clearing. Its cost will ap
proximate 81,000,000.
So soon as the entire right of .way
shall have been secured und XhH will
probably be accomplished by the end of
this month the company Will adver
tise for proposals to do the grading, and
if the bids are not satisfactory the com
pany will do the work. Little progress
can be made at the gvade until the pres
ent shower is over say April 15. Then
the summer floods .will interfere with
the work, so things cannot be pushed
until early in August. It is expected
th it the link will be finished and ready
for traffic about the middle of next
November.

We desire to call the especial atten
tion of our lady readers to the advertise
ment found in another column headed
"Pleasant and Profitable Work for Wom

offered to some energetic lady to acquire
a good income so easily. We have it
on good authority that lady canvassers
east of the Rocky Mountains are mak
ing $75.00 and 100.00 per month sell-,
ing ''Practical Housekeeping" it ' Man

dorsed by such eminent women as Mrs.
Henry Ward Bcecher, Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Mrs. Livermore, and j
many others. We trust that some in
telligent and energetic lady among our
many readers will take advantage of the
opportunity and secure the agency for
this vicinity. It is surely worth trying
for.
