Mrs. John Mackay has sued a paper
for saying that her mother was a
washerwoman. Well, she was a wash
erwoman aud a good one; plenty of
old timers remember .when she
washed clothes at Marysville, Cal.,
and supported her first husband,
Dave Huugerford. But Mrs. Mackay
needn't be ashamed of her mother.
Possibly if the old lady was alive she
might be ashamed of her daughter for
being so sill'.

Sn Arlnnnnfp nt tllft 10th lDSt. Our
reverend brother omits to state his
authority for the assertion. Informa
;, in ha rAiinWo mnnfc be accurate.
TTa irnte brother states: "We doubt
fflto
not that the tidings of the defeat of
the prohibition amendment was early
heard in Perdition and that a ratifica
tion meeting has been held there ere
this time." The writer respectfully
expresses his disbelief in the latter
statement, till Mr. Harrington can
furnish more definite and authentic
data.
The Manzanita goes this morning
on a trip to Alaska; her annual jour
ney along the -Alaskan coast, a tour
that extends to the Arctic circle, ex
amining and replacing buoys, beacons,
etc., wherever placed by the govern
ment. A large lot of supplies is aboard,
more will be taken on at Port Town
send, and the vessel will coal at Na
naimo. It will be a busy six weeks
for all aboard, the intention being to
get back by August 25th. There is
too much work in this Xllth
district for one vessel to at
tend to and do the work justice.
There should be a vessel for the
"Washington and Alaskan coast," and
both she and the Manzanita would
have enough to do then every day in
the year.
It is not once in a year that The
Astorian brags about its furnishing
the news, that being what a news
paper is for, and Astorians naturally
relying on The Astorian for authentic
news. But the San Francisco even
ing papers of the 8th, to hand, show
that at three o'clock last Monday
afternoon, they didn't know anything
about the Sullivan-Kilrain fight, and
at four o'clock they printed it as re
liable news that Kilrain had won the
fight. At 350 p. M.,veryone in As
ioria that was interested had seen a
column "extra," issued by The As
toria, giving the reliable and au
thentic news as received from the
scene of the" fight Astoria knew it
two hours before San Francisco. It is
a cold day when Astoria or The As
torian gets left on an importnnt news
item.

Oregon '! Mecra of llir tntii.
John E. .Shephard, the representa
tive of the Oregon immigration loard
of San Francisco, is in the city on a
brief visit "Immigration at present,
though steady," said he, "is not very
heavy. The indications, however, are
that immigration will be very large;
again this fall At present from 500
to 600 immigrants bound for Oregon
and Washington territory leave San
Francisco each week. Most of them
come from the east over the Union
Pacific, but a great many also come
from southern California. There is
scarcely any immigration to southern
California, and things are pretty dull
there. In Los Angeles and Pasadena-,
as also in other cities, the largest
hotels are closed. In my opinion the
next few years will witness an immi
gration to Oregon and Washington
territory that will surprise people."

John L. Sullivan Arrested in Nashville
He Showed Pight, But Was Handcuffed.
And Taken to the Police Station.
Pom-land. July 11. Judge Stearns
decides that Mrs. Holladay, mother of
Linda and Ben, had the legal right to
appoint Gen. Ingalls their testament
ary guardian; of course this will not be
the last of the litigation for the guardi
anship of the children. The case will
no doubt be carried to the supreme
court, but it is 'difficult to understand
how Judge Stearns' judgment can be
reversed.
PRINCIPLES VS. TEMPTATION.
A few days ago a lady who resides
in this city, while outshopping lost
her pocKet book ana although she
made vigorous search for it the purse
could not be discovered. In it was a
$20 goldl piece and some small change
and a check for over $200. The paper
was not indorsed, nothing could
have been received on it at the bank
without the finder would commit
forgery. The lady immediately adver
tised for the recovery of the purse,
and on the following day she received
a letter through the post office, in
which was found the missing check,
and a note from the sender from which
the following extract is taken.
"I found the purse in Messrs. Blank
& Company's store. I was very much
in need of the money at the time, and
my honest principles grew subservient
to the temptation -to steal. J knew
that the gold piece was in it because
I saw you open the purse and lay it
down. I return you the check "be
cause 1 would not run the risk
of cashing it, for if I were
caught the entire public would be
surprised and myself disgraced for
ever. I am not poor, but my allow
ance ran out too quick. I know your
address and some day soon I shall re
turn you the 24.65 which you had in
money."
The note was written on very fine
paper and the penmanship was beau
tiful, though evidently disguised. The
writer said nothing about the purse.
THE CHAMPION ARRESTED IK NASHVILLE
. Nashville, Tenu., July 11. When
the Louisville and Nashville train
pulled into this oity this morning a
vast crowd surged around the car to
see John L. Sullivan. A rumor soon
obtained circulation that a requisition
for his arrest wa3 in the hands of the
police, several of whom had boarded
the car. There was some discussien:
finally a struggle was seen in the car.
An officer reached over with a pair of
handcuffs, Jaud seizing the slogger's
arms and pulled him into the aisle.
Sullivan resisted and Muldoon put
his head out of the window and cried
to the crowd. "Gentlemen I demand
American protection." His patriotic
wail was greeted with a variety of
response. Sullivan begged him to
"knock the - copper out' and others
cried, "Hurrah for the Nashville, po
lice." "Hit him with your club," etc.
After a brief struggle Sullivan was
taken from the car to a carriage. In
the scuffle he drew back to knock
down the policeman when chief Black
stuck a pistol in his face and told him
if he struck he (Black) would kill
him.
The officers next grabbed Charles
Johnson of Brooklyn, Sullivan's
backer, who resisted vigorously but
finally cried out with pain. During
all this scrimmage Muldoon sat quiet
ly by, apparently undisturbed. Cleary,
Sullivan's other second, hid in the ex
citement. Lynch jumped off the train.
Only Johnson and Sullivan were de
tained, though the others were
wanted.
The arrests were made by authority
of a telegram-from governor Lowry,
of Mississippi, to the Nashville chief
of police.
Sullivan haa retained ex-attorney
general Washington, who says the of
ficers went beyond their authority and
cannot hold the men.
Immediately an attempt will be
made to get the' parties out'on a writ
of habeas cerpus. Governor Lowry's
telegram offers' a reward of 1,000. It
is believed that if' released Sullivan
will be rearrested to secure time for
a requisition to be obtained. The ar
rested belligerents are now in the po
lice station in" conference with their
attorney.

that date. His estimates of $80,000
were reduced by congress to $50,000,
hence the shortage.

THE GIRL AND THE RING.
How She Kisses It on the Sly Lots of
Human Nature.
"Did you ever have a chance to ob
serve, unobserved, a young lady's
conduct toward her newly acquired
engagement ring?' It feels so strange
upon her hand that she cannot re
frain from examining it a dozen times
an hour, always, however, on the sly.
On the first night she sits up an hour
later than usual to admire it boldly
in the seclusion of her own apartment.
A frequent kiss is administered to
the shining hand and its glittering
gem, and during the night she dreams
that it has fallen into a stream, and
awakes, clutching the finger to assure
herself that the precious pledge is still
secure.
Then, on the following day, she
wears it only in secret, taking care to
transfer it to her pocket at tableland
when in the "company of intimates,
but place her among strangers or
among casual acquaintances, who can
not be inquisitive, and how bravely
she will flaunt the token before
their eyes as one who should say:
"I may not be the loveliest creature
in the world, but you will observe that
I get there all the same."
Gradually it assumes its place in
her daily life, and her blushes grow
less violent with each succeeding ex
planation of its significance and each
extravagant description of the donor's
attributes. But before it finally be
comes a part of herself, as it were,
she must, of course, leave it a dozen
times at least upon the wash stand,
and suffer, in consequence, a dozen
violent attacks of palpitation of the
heart until it is recovered.
