It seems very likely that the political effect will not be great, either one way or the Other.

FROM THE KLONDIKE. Seattie, Augus.* 4.—On the steamer Discovery, whieh has arrived from Alaska, was C F Downey, of Seattle, who had about $15,000 in dust. C Ward, who has $125,900 is the owner of a claim, on Bon- »za Creek. He was formerly a member
ofthe mounted police. His home is in Nova Scotia CM Johnson, who comes from Ko?r-
burg, Oregon, has $80,000, the amount he received for his claim on Hunker Creck. Most of the arrivals were traders who went in daily this spring, with small outfics which they disposed of at a small profit Ik is predicted that about 500 of these traders will coon be on their way out after new stocks, No river boats had arrived at Dawson from St. Michaels for soine time and the people were becoming apprehensive that lower river navigation was al out over for the season. The conditions at Dawson have undergone no changes _ since the last advices from there. The situation of the idle men of whom there is a great number, is becoming a matter of serious
im por'ance. Most of them have no means and areunable to get employment in Dawson or at the mines. Some have
about exhausted their small stores of such supplies as they took in. and are unable to do any prospecting. A great exodus cf this class wilt soou begin. It is general ly observed that the vicinity of Dawson, is no ploce for @ poor man, and that the oaly class having any business there are m en with capital.
Aunt Mary ’s Timely Visit-
The other evening Aunt electric cars and rode eastward to the house of her niece who a few weeks pre- viously had just commenced housekeeping.
Mary took the
Without ceremony the old lady entered the house and found her niece in tbe kitchen looking very dejected. Aunt
Mary soon discovered that her niece had tried todyean old cream opera shaw! a cardinal red with some poor cheap dye. The result was certainly enough to test the patience and goodness of en angel. A miserable mixed color, half red a ad | brown, was the result of hcr labor. Annt Mary deeply sympathized with her horror~ stricken niece,and advised her in future to use nothing but the Diamond Dyes that had giveu her such satisfaction and profit for over twenty years. The unsightly, variegated shaw! waa then washed in sey- eral waters in order to get rid of the horrid colors, and was then put intoa bath of Diamond Dye Fast Cardinal Red for Wool. It it now @ thing of joy and beauty.
Moral: To achieve success in lom dyeing be sure you use the Diamond Dyes.
