The builders have been waiting for
the big Jnly tide, which at that point
every year reaches its height about
July 30. At noon over 200 feet of
the raft was in the water, and at a
given signal the chock blocks were
knocked away and the 20,000 tons of
logs slid into the water and were
taken in charge by n tug. Barring
accidents, the ship should arrive at
New York in six days. If the ship
goes to pieces there will be groat
danger for a time in navigating the
Atlantic in the vicinity of the wreck,
and if it does not, other rafts will
follow, and sooner or later will strew
the ocean with dangers. The lost
raft spread itself over tho north At
lantic and proved," for a long time a
menace to shipping.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af
flicted? If you will remember n few
years ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billionsness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
b'.le through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous. PERSONAL 31EXTION.

A CHICAGO SITSTEBY.
Chicago, Aug. 2. A new phase of
the mystery attending the death of
Mr. and Mrs. Husch developed to-day.
The pair are ardent believers in elec
tricity, and both were in tho habit of
taking electric baths and being
treated by electrical appliances. In
the course of the investigation at
the house of the dead couple, a bat
tery was found this morning charged
so heavily that a shock from it would
surely produce death.
It is supposed that Mrs Husch de
sired her husband to treat her with
the electric battery. This he did nnd
in an unfortunate moment accidnet
ally turned on the battery at full
strength, giving his wife such a shock
that bhe fell back dead. Realizing
he had caused his wife's death, he
took his own life by hanging himself
in the door way of his wife's
Kaom.

FROM THE ARCTIC.
Retnrn of The Jeanie Latest News From
Port Clarence, Etc.
Captain O. J. Humphrey, of the
steamer Jeanie, has just returned
from Port Clarence, for which port he
left Nanaimo on the 8th of June last,
with coal for whalers. Arrived at
Port Clarence on the 23d, having had
a remarkable trip; left Port Clarence
on the 13th of July, nrriving nt Onn
alaska on the 17th of July, and sailed
again the next day. Met the United
States revenue cutter Bear leaving
Onnalaska for tho Arctic ocean. At
Ouualaska met the United States
revenue cutter Richard Rush, and
the United Stales man of war Thetis.
Tho latter had on board governor
Swineford, of Alaska, bound for the
Arctic ocean, having come from a
visit to the Aleutian islauds. The
Thetis will proceed to the Arctic
ocean, returning via Sitka, to arrive
hero about tho last of September.
Captain Humphrey reports tho last
winter in the Behring sea the most
sovere ever known for ice, and in the
Arctic ocean the most open. Point
Barrow was reached by the steam
whaler Orca July 4th, an occurence
which has never happened before at
that season of tho year. Open -water
was seen to the east as far as the eve
could reach. The Jeanie experienced
calm weather iu tho Behring sea all
through the passage, but met with
considerable fog. On the 4h of July
there wero 25 Americau Hags flying
from 25 different whalers nt Port
Clarence, all commanded by
captain Codders. and not a for
eign flag visible, 'The whalers
have been fortunate in their catch
this season. The whaling fleet from
San Francisco numbers 40, of n ton
nage of from CC3 down to 75 tons
(among those are 9 steamers) the to
tal tonnago being about lu,UUU tons.
No sealing vessels have beon seen in
the sea of Kamscbatka this season.
The seals on the seal islands arc re
ported to be later than ever before,
probably owing to shooting on the
way up there. From Victoria to
Uunalaska is l.bib miles, from Onn
alaska to Port Clarence is 800 miles.
Fort Clarence is a meeting station
for the whalers, where they get wood
and water. In the springtimo of the
year tho whaling is done. They go
into the ice to tho westward of the
Pribiloff islands, follow tho Si
berian shore going with the ice
and keeping ahead of tho whales to
get into the Arctic ocean before
them. They go as far as the pack
ice. Some of the whalers got jammed
into the ice April 13tb, and were not
liberated for fifty-nine days. No
casualties reported.
Port Clarence is a point of period
ical rendezvous for tho Esquimaux
for a long distance, somo as far as
500 miles, for tho purpose of trading
their hrs for tobacco and cloth. They
live in frame houses covered with
walrus skins and dress in deerskin
furs. Their canoes (kyaks) are of
framo covered with walrus hide.
They sleep in skin bags, first strip
ping themselves naked, and never
build n fire. Victoria Times.
