The light-house steamer Shubrick, ,Gapt. Kortz, took her departure for San Francisco last evening, after a Jong visit to the waters of the 13th district,where she has done an immense amount of service. She leaves us with six buoys in the south channel, and more necessary work at other jjoints than we expected. Capt, Kortz, Com.

This particular fish was caught by one of Capt. James Williams' nets night before last, and there is not the slightest possible doubt but that it is the genuine shad. Where it came from is a mystery. We have never heard of any shad being put in any other than the Sacramento river, and if it came from there it has strayed a long way from its hatching stition. As a luxury this is even better than the salmon. We hope to "hear of many more of them in the Columbia. Amusements in K-Happion. Mr. J. M.

Than cold December's gloomy morn ? ' Marmion saith, wisely. "Washington at the present moment is at the hight of her wonderful summer beaut, the late spring culminates in an outburst of glorious splendor; nature seems rampant with life and joy. The parks, those 'breathing places" of the city, are lovely beyond description, with their sparkling fountains, grand old trees, singing birds, well-kept lawns, where all may wander at will, or rest upon the comfortable and inviting seats which good Uncle Samuel hath provided for "his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!" Vera la Pinafore! "Did you ever? never well hardly ever" see anything like the suc cess of this charming little "operatta," "II. M. S. riNAl'ORE." After a winter of Dear liitlc Buttercup by sundrj7 companies, good, bad, and indifferent, white and colored; the season closed on Satnnbry ovening, with a very fine performance, given entirely by a company of children, none of the performers being over fourteen years of age, Buttercup was well rendered by a neice of Mrs. Ma jor M'Cuuihcr, a lady whom some Oregonians may remember. The pro ceeds of the evening to be used in the purchase of an artificial leg for a 1 poor little boy. THIS TJNTItETEXDIXG OPERA, Has taken the country bT storm. Nothing like it, since the ad vent of " Uncle Tom's Cabin." Manager Ford, a veteran in his line as theatrical caterer has made money with the "Pinafore" and was the first to remit to its authors. Well he might send them 100 after coining money with their work. Had the au thors possessed an INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT Handsome fortunes in less than a year would have been in their hands. The quiet satire, which is nowhere over done, makes the plajT so popular; the music is extremely simple but rather sweet, with little dramatic incidents; much dancing, which is neither diffi cult nor particularly graceful; but it seems to be cxactty what the public were waiting for. The first opera troupes in the land have been OBLIGED TO SING IT, Probably under protest, and with wry faces, by those Prima Donnas with "phenomenal" voices, a3 the musical critics say, and high culture, lne Hess, or rather Emma Abbott troupe, for her husband gave Mr. Hess $10, 000 to retire for a yeai, I think, (so saith somebod'), sing it in New York with Miss Anis Montague as Buttercup, Miss Abbott and Mrs. Segain as Josc ph vie and Cousin Hcbc. On the streets one sees little ooys posturing noma Doad-cyc, true to boy nature, and love of the revolting, which to them is most attractive. You. have had it at As toria, the home of many a Dcad-cyc, no doubt. What is more quoted? A young lady passing along the street on a hot day, finds herself stuck in the soft concrete, when a big boy halloas out 'Sing hcv! the merry maiden and the jolly tar!M A minister at a funeral was speaking of his deceased parishioner as being greatly mourned by "His sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts,' Sang the choir who had been prac ticing the "Pinafore.

That Grand national farce, the EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS Drags its weary length, while senators and members are dairy Hitting to other lands, in search of refreshment and rest, after their months of dolce far niente. They huve the decency to offer excuses for absenting them selves: Failure of health; illness in j their families, while somo boldly avow, business of their own is pressing, at home. Senator Carpenter is poorly and gone to Florida; too many cigars (thirty a day), said one; a grand law case; railroad suit, with big fee; quote another. Senator sails for Europe ; so the world wags on. Query: Are these gentlemen employed by the government, and paid to be scam- I penng over tne rouna worm, wnen j they have been called together here, by the president to transact I certain business? A Dart of which remains unfinished while the people are anxiously awaiting the end. The legislative, judicial and executive ap propriation bill, or rather its substi tute, passed the house yesterday with the objectionable features and all riders dropped. It is thought it tviII go through the senate without oppo sition so. Mr. Haves' amiable ob- stinacy has accomplished this bitter end, bitter to the radical democrat. OUR PRESIDENTAL STAR Is in the ascendant. His vetoing, and dignified reasoning for So doing, has made him many friends; one hears his name mentioned for a second term in the White house; "bad beginning makes a good ending" is a trite but j true maxim. Adjournment seems near. l ao wisn congress wouia aa- summers who is to go north under the escort of a member from 2ew York. it in ..i. thev would adiotirn, for I . . my garden, my house, ana my hus S band's business are all suffering by this prolonged stay from home," said a member's wife from Texas. "I hope they won't adjourn for weeks yet, "said a landlady whose tenants are senators and members. Just so, each and all have an axe to grind, from the infant to the old man. .Naturally the affairs of the residents of AVashington are more or less affected by congress. The number of OREGONIANS HERE Is increasing slowly. Judge Upton in his position as second comptroller is justly popular. His office is one of import ance, and to James Delano, his very able and energetic deputy, a gentle man who has just finished his seven teenth year in office, and who has risen from clerk to his present respon sible position, the Judge .must owe his quick knowledge of the ropes. The Judge has grown handsome and is a favorite with the ladies, as well .as the gentlemen. His family are living on Capitol hill, but, will soon go north, where they spend their summers. Willie Upton graduated from the law university with honor on Monday last. Judge Williams, our ex-senator, is practicing his profession very energet ically, with his office opposite the treasury. Mrs. W. is still in Europe, and will not return until fall. Miss Nellie is with her perfecting herself in music, for which she has shown de cided talent, and received the best instruction her native land could offer. Abroad the highest advantages are given to enthusiasts like herself. Her father says she is very well and happy with her lessons. The Judge keeps bachelors hall in his lovely home, with an old servant man, who has been with them for years. Mr. Charles Carter, whose honest face and kindly manner is familiar to many, both in Oregon and here, is very busy, and is builds ing up a large business in the collec tion of claims. His fascinating and sprightly wife, whose quick and ready wit, and intelligent conversation will be remembered by her old Oregon friends, finds her native air too bene ficial, for &he turns the scale at lbs., but do not you dare tell it. Senator Grover moves about in the quiet, dignified manner so thoroughly his own, while his stately wife seems not to recover her health in this charming climate, as her friends had hoped. Master John is off to board ing school. Capt. C. P. Crandall, with beard longer than ever, fills his difficult desk in the third auditor's office with acceptability, as does Char he Gardner, whom old Oregonians will remember as long ago a clerk in the surveyor generals office of Oregon. Then there is Mr. Drew here too, clerk in the quartermaster generajs oflice, who at times is almost laid up with rheumatic gout .Also Mr. HIsley, clerk in the waf depart ment, who suffers much with pen- paralysis. Senator Slater is attend ing very strictly to the business for which he came, while his genial, frank, hearty manner, and fine pres ence, win him friends. The other day who should walk in with a cordial, real OREGON HAD SHAKE But Mr, Gilfry of Salem, who boasts of making the quickest trip from As toria to Washington Tet accomplished, Governor Whiteaker's flying one not excepted. I cannot close this men tion of Oregonians in Washington more fitly than with the name of Kev. Dr. McCarty, whose unselfish pious life, and work as a minister of the Protestant Episcopal church in Ore gon, Dotn in the army ana civil me, is affectionately and respectfully remem bered b' the people of Oregon and Washington territory. Space will not allow the telling of how energetically he set about and did his Masters business. He used to preach in the morning in Portland and then walk over to Vancouver to officiate there in the afternoon. Never told of it, but ' patiently and sweetly accepted all the inconveniences of frontier life, devoted his entire time and strength to his work, as God's minister. The doctor is a little changed, looking much as he did twenty years ago, but has grown quite deaf. He has lost the use of one eye from cataract, but his old restless manner and energy have not abated one particle. He lives with a son in a lovely part of the city,on New Jersey avenue. As you perhaps know, his wife died in December hist I believe, I had a letter from the doctor yester- dnv- the .nirfpr hrm-pd no -.bitenienf- aa, tne matter snow ea no aoatement of mental power, bnt the trembling cnirography told of physical mhrm ity: he is several years past eighty. Hd speaks cheerfully of his approach- I ing end, as a matter of only a short time and no doubt would say with Simeen: "Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word." That the blessing of his Master may be continued to the ven erable servant of God is the prayer of his loving western friends, as well as of m. o. Special AmienHCCJHcnt.
