This item has been given quite extensive circulation. Ii is erroneous. Mrs. Inez E. Parker, of this city, was elected school director in March, 1832, and filled a three years' term with credit to herself and satisfaction to tho district. Sometime ago an item went the rounds of the northwest press thet Mr.p&rdon, former editor of the Seattle Cnronicle, was insano in California. Were this tho ca.Be Mr. G. need not feel at all lonesome, but ho writes denying the assertion. Mr. G.'s word is certainly entitled to credence in this matter and it is at once a duty and a pleasure to say that our whilom Sound contemporary is still in possession of his dura mater. S. B. Curtis, who died in Vancouver on Tuesday last, says the E. P. Vindicator, was one of the oldest settlers of Clarke county. A few years ago he was very fleshy, and toel: considerable quantities of a nostrum known ns "Allen's Anti fat." It proved to bo too effectual, re ducing Mr. Curtis to the condition of an invalid, and he died from its effects the immediate cause of death being gangrene of the foot, his toes having commenced to drop off. Some of the Portland merchants have tired of the delay in settling up the loss occasioned by the stranding of the Queen of the Pacific, on September 41 h, 188.1, and have libeled that vessel to get the matter in some kind of shape so that ad justment can be had. There is more than one here who feel just the 'same way. Over eighteen months have elapsed, and a good many Astoria and Portland busi ness men are tired of the law's delay, the insolence of office, and all that, sort of thing. Counterfeit half dollars have made their appearance in Portland and restau rants and saloon leepera have been free ly victimized. Tho shovers of the queer, says the Xetcs, did a land office business among the newsboys on Saturday night. They would post themselves in some dark place, purchase a paper and always give a spurious half for it, and receive a paper and 40 cents in change in return. In this way quite a number of bogus pieces were worked off. The money is fairly well made and looks fresh, and is evidently the handiwork of some expert local coun terfeiter. Atteatieu H. JL b. Co.

A apecinl sesMou of the city council was held Inst evening, a full board pres ent except councilman Gratke A com munication was read from the Astoria Iron "Works in regard to repairs io the Silsby engine beiler: it was laid on tho table and committee on fire and water instructed to advertise for bids, and to require bonds and to report at next meeting. The charge preferred by Chief of Po lice Loaghrey regarding Officer Steabb was red. and leferred to committee on health and jwlice. Officer Steabb was asked what he had to say; he stated that the charges were substantially cor rect. Councilman Bergman asked him if he knew of the existence of ordinance "So. 449. He Said he didn't think of it at the time. Ordinance 443 was then read by the clerk. Councilman Trench-ird thought that the chief of po lice should be sustained in an effort to, do his duty. Councilman Dealy thought that the facts of the case required that the council should sustain the ordinance in question. Councilman Bergman thought that there was no doubt the officer had violated the ordi nance, but the fact that he had a good record as.a policeman ought to cause the council to lean to the side of mercy. Councilman Cleveland thought that the ordinance was plain and there wos but one duty for tae council, and that was to sustain the chief of police. Councilman Trenchard thought that tho friendly feelings of a man in his private capacity should not bo allowed to influ ence his sworn duty as a public official. The mayor thought that while the duty of the council was plain, it seemed hard to lose officer Steabb. He had always done his duty and was liked, and, it be ing his first offense, due consideration should be given Sis good official record. The question being shall tho chief of po lice be sustained, resulted: Ayes, three; noes, two. Tho mayor declared the mo tion lost. On motion council adjourned. It wonhl appear that this leaves the matter just where it wa, as tho main question was not reached. The question voted on was "shall the chief be sus tained?" which he was by a majority vote, thus leaving Steabb still suspended. The matter of removal was not reached. OfKAN SPRAT. The QUce .$'.

Captain Bergman, formerly of tho Modoc, has bought an interost in the bark .ftdia Ford, at Port RIakely, and has gone to command her. It is reported that the steamer 117 luiaefte will luy up at San Francisco with her cargo on board until there is some improvement in coal or freights. The British bark JInidee arrived in from Victoria yesterday. She has some wheat aboard, which is an unusual thing in the case of a British bark crossing in over Columbia bar. Steam was applied on thesteamer Stale of California on Wednesday last and ev erything worked smoothly. She went into Hunter's point dry dock on Monday to clean and paint and put in a new pro peller. She will be up here on the !?7ib. The ship St, Lvcie from Philadelphia for San Francisco is causing many anx ious inquiries. She is 201 days oul from Philadelphia, and although sho was at one time 183 days on a similar passage, those interested are very uneasy about her. It is thought that the Pacific Mail com pany will soon put" on two very ,fast steamers between Sydney and San Fran cisco, calculating to carry the Australian mails through to England in twenty eight days. The steamers .Irfsona and Atashti are mentioned as the probable ships to be used. A new electric automatic compass has been invented, the needle of which, bv opening and closing a circuit keeps a ship on her course without tho aid of a sailor at the wheel."' All the captain has to do is to set his compass as ho would set his watch and go to dinner, or go to bed, as tho fancy strikes him. Modern inven tions have greatly reduced tho number of men required to work a ship. A IX OYER.THE COAST. Eight million pounds is the estimated spring clip of wool in this state.

The Demo crats are 'howling because they fear that Blaine is about capturing the administra tion. Thoy were much surprised to learn that Cleveland requested Blaine to call on him recently. The meeting between the two gentlemen wis a hoarty ono each shaking the othor by tho hand with a warm grasp. They were clotted to gether nearly an hour and when Mr. Blaine camo oul the President accom panied him to the door and gave him a cordial invitation to visit the executive mansion frequently. At Miss Cleve land's la3t reception, Mrs. Blaine was present. She was accompanied by her son, Walker, and her daughter. Miss Margaret Blaine. Miss Cleveland had never met either of them before and the color came to her face when Mrs. Blaine was presented. Miss Cleveland made their short stay at the white house very pleasant, paying them the most distin guished attention. Soon after the Blaines lef t Mrs. Tjogan passed in and was pre sented. The calls of Mr.s. Blaine and Mrs. Logan were'the events of the after noon and are the subject of considerable talk in political circles to-night. Blaine is to giva a dinner to Cleveland some evening next week. About the time of the inauguration a large delegation of western Democrats arrived in Washington to look after the distribution of array post tradershipa. Theyseemod to think that these places would, along with all others, bo promptly turned over to the Democrats, after tho appointment of the cabinet. These gen tlemen ascertained that army traders, or sutlers, are appointed upon recommen dation of tho officers at tho differ ent military posts; that the officers at each post recommend the man they want as trader, and it is the cus tom to appoint him. This system was adopted soon after the Belknap affair and has been kept up. After interview ing the new secretary of war, the delega tion of western Democrats numbering about twenty or thirty, discovered that they had made their trip to Washington for nothing. They ascertained that a man seeking a post tradership would have tohavetheiudorsementof tho army officers at the post to which he wanted to be assigned, nud furthermore that it is not the intention of the administration to draw political distinction with regard to such appointments. The reduction of the forco in the treas ury department andwhite house has sent a thrill of terror through the rank and file of government clerks. Consoled by the civil service of the new administra tion, they became reassured, and a gener al feeling of seenrity gradually possessed them. Now, however, they realize that danger threatens tfiem from another di rection, from which they aro not pro tected by the civil service rules. The re duction for an economic purpose shows be decapitated at'any time." While this ! fro,rt a local postoflice to the English mis feeling of insecurity is not confined to ' sion.

The latter refused to accept the vessel, claiming that she wasn't ready for cargo, in that she had not been surveyed after ground ing, and was not lined for cargo. She was afterward taken up for wheat, loading by Ilalfour, Guthrie Jc Go. at a lower rate and her owners' instituted suit for dam ages. Testimony was taken here by or der of the Liverpool court and forwarded. The case waB decided February 23d last in the Liverpool assizes before Mr. Jus tice Day. The following statement of the decision has been received, which, al though a meager account, shows the re sult: sIn this case Mr. Higham, Q. C, and Mr. French were for the plaintiff and Mr. Svnott foi the defendants. The plaintiff, Mr. S. Vnughan, is tho owner of a ship named the Rowland Hill, and lives in Nova Scotia, and the defendants aroLon don merchants, tho action being brought to recover compensation for a breach of charter. In the charter it was stipulated that the Rowland Hill should be ready to receive cargo at Portland, Oregon, on October 31, 1883, nt sundown, and should she not be ready the charter was to be canceled. The ship arrived on that date, but having a load of 300 tons ballast on board she waa not ready to take i& cargo, and the charter party was canceled. The vessel was consequently delayed, and the demurrage and difference of freight after ward obtained amounted to i!r,5QQ. His lordship gave judgment for the plaintiff fori hat amount."

Er-Cougress-man Stevens was closeted for over half an hour recently with Postmaster-General Vilas. It is not known why his nomination of a first assistant postmas ter general hangs fire. Colonel Vilas, when asked about the matter, said there was nothing to m made public in regard to it yet. In regard to the New York postmaster ho said no;h ing ahd been done. "You may say for mc," said Col onel Vilas, "that I consider it my finit aim and duly to become fully acquainted with the department before any impor tant changes are to be made. Tho de partment must be thoroughly looked over before outside questions can be taken up. This does not signify that any changes are necassarily to be made in the present methods, and none will be made unless it Is quite apparent that they are needed. The department will go right along very ranch as it hns goua until I have made mvself familiar with every branch of if. Meantime, snea va cancies as occur will bs filled either by appointment by the president or by mvself, but no official who Is honest, faithful and attentive to his duties will be turnd out to afford pieces for those who have claims." Colonel Vilas was asked if he should take any nctiou in the matter of tho fast mail contracts put through by Frank Hat ton a fow days before he went oat. He said: "There "has not been n moment's time for consideration of that matter. There seems to bo many things of greater political importance just now. We know that there are such contracts in existence and that sooner or later they will be con sidered. The whole subject of mails in transit and the distribution of mails will be given full consideration just as soon as practicable. It is probable that some reforms will be necessary and they will be made." It is gossip outside the department that Postmaster Pearson will bo allowed to re main in, probably until next fall at least it is authoritatively stated that the president will not appoint a successor to take the offica on the 22& inst.. when .his commission expires. Pearson will stay in on the understanding that when the administration de?ires its own man there he will voluntarily retire. This will re lieve theadministration of criticism from the mugwumps, who cannot complain if their man resigns of his own accord, and Mr. Cleveland cannot bo blamed for put ting in a Democrat who will be in har mony with his administration. .

While study ing the men' and experiencing tho usual difficulty felt bj men of vacillating mind in making choice for luncheon, the pro prietor, with whom I had a slight ac quaintance, came up and iaid: "Why don't you try our popper-iKH'r" I not unnaturally inquired, and was informed that it was a We-t Indian dish which" could be obtained nowhere else in Lon don. That settled the matter, and 'pep-por-pot." was ordered. It proved to .be a savory stew, rather peppery, as its name denotes, with a peculiar aromatic flavor. While afterward discussing some celery and stilton. the proprietor came up again and was good enough io enlighten me concerning the ivctilinrjlies of "pepper pot." His first statement rather startled me. "Our 'pepper-pot' is only three years o!a, ' said ne. " nen it is kept an other year or two it will be better." Mentally regreting that I had not been informetl earlier as to the age of this delicacy, I inquired fnrther concerning tui3 wonderful lusli, and gathered tne following from the restaurateur: "I have lived many years in tho West Indies, and while racking my brains one daj- to find som? speciality" with which this place wonld always lie associated, 1 bethought me of pepper-iot- Xo ono iu London had ever heRrd of or knew how to make it. The fitt requisite was a supply of cassareep " 1 1 won't guarantee the spelling of the word), "and after some trouble 1 fouua .i West iiulin produce importer who got nie a supplv at half a guinea per bottle. Now cassareep is the juico pressed out ot the cassava, and in its raw staie is a deadly poison. It is the basis of the stuff the Carib Indians use to poison their arrows witu. uut wiieu boueu it is perfectly harmless, and possesses the cu rious property of preserving meat for any length of time. In the West Indies the 'pepper-pot is always on the go; it is never entirely emptied, and the con tents are added to day by day. Anv pieces of cold meat pork is best and fish go into the pot. Here, m London, we don't put fish in, only the best parts of the cold joints. Our 'pepper-pot' has only been about three years on tneijo. it lias never been emptied; for aught I know to tho contrary yon may have been eating meat a year or two old to-day. The cassareep preserves it perfectly fresh, and is added from time to time to keep the stew all right. Of course there are spices and sauces put in to give the stew a flavor, besides tho cassareep: which, in addition to its preservative and antiseptic qualities, has a distinct, if slight, flavor of its own." A bottle of this peculiar syrup was pro duded for my inspectien: it is of a dee'p mahogany color, and of the consistency of molas?i i, and resembling in fact. In dian soy. London Letter.
