D. C. IRELAND . Editor.
FRIDAY Sept. 14, 1877
The engineers of Marseilles have
discovered that since the opening of
the Suez canal the level of the Medit
erranean has sunk 3- inches.
The Paris Journal des Alpes has
T3een summoned before the correction
al tribunal for publishing an insulting
.remark relative to General Grant.
In Sumatra the expedition of the
Dutch Geographical society has dis
covered a mountainous region of great
beauty and fertility, peopled only by
-a few wretched Malays.
Among the patents recently issued
are several to Sir. Holly, of waterwork
fame, for his system, of warming a city
by steam, supplied, as gas and water
are now, through a series of mains.
The following sound opinion
about Sam Bowles is from the Hart
ford Ceuranfc: "The Springfield Re
publican was afraid somebody else was
.going to do a mean thing, and so it
hurried to get ahead. "
AParis military tribunal has passed
.sentence of death upon ItL Lyaz who
.acted as deputy mayor of the twelfth
arondissment during the commune,
and was guilty of incendiarism and
ordering illegal arrests.
The site of the ancient city of
Sybaris, in Catania, southern Italy,
famous for its habits of luxury, is to
be explored by the Italian govern
ment. Excavations will begin this
fall. Sybaris was destroyed by tli3
Cretans about 510 B. C.
The steamers which watch over
the Suez canal have been increased
from two to four, in consequence of
ihe mysterious arrest of an Armenian
or Maltese, said to have been provided
"with a chest of dynamite cartridges
with the design of blowing up the
canaL
At the recent anniversary of the
London Anti-cruelty-to-animals soci
ety, Prof. Huskin said that he thought
the society "had not sufficiently en
deavored to promote affection to ani
mals. It had been too
much in the police court and too little
in cottage and field."
The strikes interfered seriously
with the circuses and menageries that
were traveling by railroads. Banmm's
and Forepaugh's concerns were unable
to move from near Chicago for a week,
and their losses were very heavy.
Other establishments were almost
ruined.
f The new oyster law of England
went into effect on the 1st of Septem
ber. It prohibits the sale of oysters
known in ihe trade as "deep sea oys
ters," between the 15th of June and
the 4th of August, and any other des
cription between the 14th of May and
the 4th of August.
A wooden model of Cleoxratra's
needle has been placed in Parliament
square, "Westminster, in order to as
certain the eligibility of the place as a
site for the monolith itself. It stands
in front of the statue of George Can
ning and between those of Earl Derby
-and Lord Pahnerston.
They have introduced in Ger
many the novel idea of having bands
to discourse sweet music at auction
sales. Large crowds -come to hear the
concert and are drawn into the vortex
of bidding. Such an ingenious idea
should have originated in the United
States, and cannot long Lick of imita
tors here.
Mysore, the famine stricken
principality of southern Lidia, to
which Queen Yictoria alluded in her
speech proroguing parliament, com
' prises an area of 27,000 square miles,
and has a population of nearly 4,000,
000. Besides the common grains the
province usually produces cinnamon,
pepper, cardamon, coflee, raw silk,
vthe betel nut. and sago palm.
Grant a Burgess.
The freedom of the city of Edin
burgh -nras presented to ex-President
Grant by Lord Provost Sir James
EalshaTr, last week, Two thousand
persons were present. In reply to the
Lord Provost's speech, Gen. Grant
said: "I an so filled with emotion
that I scarcely know how to thank you
for the honor ' conferred upon me by
making me a Burgess of this ancient
city of Edinburgh. I feel that it is a
great compliment to me and to my
country. Had I the proper eloquence,
I might dwell somewhat on the history
of the great men you have produced;
of the numerous citizens of this city
and Scotland that have gone to Amer
ica, and the record they have made.
"We are proud of Scotchmen as citizens
of America. They make good citizens
of our country, and they find it profita
ble to themselves. I again thank you
for the honor you have conferred upon
me." Three cheers were then given
for the youngest Burgess.
ainckilteo Salmon.
From the Seattle Intelligencer.
"We are in receipt of a letter
from George T. Myers, superin
tendent of the Muckilteo salmon
cannery, in which he complains of
an article in last week's Snohomish
Star, making some "references to
allusions" (as Major Blake would
say) upon the firm of Jackson,
Myers & Co., for using labels prin
ted with Columbia river salmon
on their cans. These cans are put
up in cases bearing the stencil mark
of "Jackson, Myers & Co., dealers
in Hermetically Canned Salmon,
Muckilteo, "W. T.," on every case,
and no attempt to sell them as any
thing: but Puset Sound salmon has
been made by the parties packing
them for export. The Muckilteo
affair is a branch of Jackson, Myers
& Co.'s establishment at Kamier,
Oregon, and is purely an experi
ment. As far as the labels used
by them are concerned, they were
ordered printed in March, and did
not arrive till August 5th, whereas
the firm had everything at Muckil
teo "red hofj "by 25th of July.
Does any sane man suppose they
would go that long without labels.
This firm had a brand which al
ready stood as well as any other
Oregon brand of salmon in the
San Francisco market; does any
body suppose they would sacrifice
the reputation of that brand by
palming off an inferior article of
iish? True, the Puget Sound sal
mon lias not the oil of the Colum
bia river fish nor so brilliant a
color; but he has a finer grain and
a m-ore delicate flavor. Though
the Columbia river fish can be
canned more easily on account of
their size, yet the Puget Sound
salmon are so much more plentiful
that the balance is in favor of these
waters. So impressed are they
with, the importance of Puget
Sound fisheries that they are con
temr lating a removal of their works
to fciamish where they will open
next year on a much larger scale.
So far, they have canned about
4,500 cases, equal to 210,000 cans,
of which 1,519 cases have already
beeti shipped to San Francisco by
the JDakota, and 1,000 more are on
tlie .Nellie to be transferred to the
City of Panama on her arrival.
Our salmon are deemed identical
with those of the Fraser river and
they have stood the test of the
English, Scotch and Irish markets
successfully for the past six years.
Hen ce we have no fears of the out
come. Five years hence, will see
branches of all the leading; Colum-
bia river canneries here. If they
have good luck in Ma-, they can
stay at home where their own in
terests are; if they fail at home,
Pugtt Sound offers a welcome to
their industry.
The Superintendent of the Govern
ment; printing office lias issued a cir
cular to Senators and Representatives
rjqueiiting them not to lend their in
fluence in. behalf of any person seeking
appoin tment in the Goverment print
ing office, as he intends in the future
to run' the office according to his own
judgment.

The Black Hills and Big Horn
mountains are now free from hostile
Indians.
