by three and one half width of body,
which is the first shad that has ever
been reported caught in the Columbia
river. 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.

"Who loves not more the night of June.
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

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

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

the objectionable features and all

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

maxim. Adjournment seems

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

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,

his loving western friends, as well
