The Washington Capital of Janu

Mr. Geo. W. Huinc who has be

Mrs. Dr. Lou "Patterson, one of
the finest test mediums on the Pacific
const, loEt a piece rtf jewelry in Olym
pic She advertised it. This is one
of the best proofs of the efficacy of
advertising that can be adduced.
How drrcs it happen that the mail
for Forts Stevens and Canby always
goes up thcTiver before it goes to the
posts? Will Mr. Citsick make a note
of that. We do not wish to seem the
least bit obtrusive, but these things
arc matters of interest to this public
A few days ago our attention was
attracted to a beautiful boquet of flow
ers from Brookfield, in the hands of Dr.
Baker. We thought what a glorious
advertisement that would be of this
region, were it to be placed on exhi
bition in Now York or Philadelphia.
Lieut. -DeLong, U. S. N., in com
mand of Bennett's steam yacht, Jean

tors were elected. Officers are the
same as last year. We now look for
stock in this mine to become valuable.
What heels some women (coming
to Oregon on the Elder, for instance,
yesterday), do wear. It is the most
silly and absurd notion that a boot
heel must resemble a funnel to be
pretty. One of those dames got her
delicate foot caught in the cracks ol
Squemoqhe street roadway yesterday,
and she returned to .the steamer
minus part of her sole.
In company with Capt. J. G. Hustler
we crept through the keyhole and got
inside of Liberty-hall yesterday to ee
what was going on. We found out

repulsive things will be gone forever,
und Liberty-hall interior will look as
nice ae New Market theatre.
Mr. Whitelaw has a new idea in
regard to the hulls of the steamers
Constitution and Colorado, now behv
broken up by him in San Francisco.
He intends to cut their ends off
square, and make floating docks of
them. It is calculated that each will
take up vessels of 1000 tons. They
are to be ready by next August. As
toria would be a good point for one of
them.
The Rockland (Maine) Opinion of
a recent Hate thus refers to an event
which transpired in that city at the
father of our fellow towns-man, Mr.
E. R. Hawes : " The sociable at Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. G. Hawes', on Tues
day, was a perfect rush ; the old man
sion was completely filled. All en
joyed ihemselves. The disposition to
keep late hours wa3 in the ascenden
cy. Sorrylo see it ; bad example."
After enduring a severe -mental
ordeal over the question, an
-eastern leader of fashion "isas t last
decided that whituHrid gloves may be
consistently worn, even in deep
mourning, at an evening. party. .The

The legend of Iiurliae.
It is a source of considerable satisfac
tion to us to know that we have critical
and even classical readers. On Sunday
we published a brief paragraph invit
ing information respecting Lurline.
in view of the fact that it was so'much
esteemed in this portion of the conti
nent at present, that poets vwere nam
ing pieces Lurline; artists were dres-,
singthe "Lurline" m 'character a't mas
querades; and one of our capitalists
had christened one of the -finest stea
mers afloat in these northern waters
Lurline. Our-corrcspondent requests
that we surpress his name from the
public, 'but promises to send us a few
more gems for The Astorian this
$'ear, -making it the leading family
paper of Oregon. Following is
THE LEGEND OF LUItLIXE.

vLeut. Everett, of Fort -Stevens,
enlivened our sanctum with'his pres
n3 for an hour yesterday. From
him we gleaned some interesting facts
relative to the 'treatment of Indians,
affairs in Alaska, etc., which it will be
our pleasure to present to the public.
.
The steamer St. Paul, now in San
Francisco, is being literally torn to

improving her. Martin Bulger has
the management of tho job, and to
gether with like labor on the Alexan
der and Victoria (late Bolivar) he has
his time pretty well occupied.
