Pythian Castle Hall was the scene of a pleasant gathering last evening, the occasion being the partly public installation of the officers elect of Astor Lodge No. 6, and Pacific Lodge No. 17, K. of P., in presence of the members of the lodges, their families and invited friends. No city on the coast takesja more active interest, pro portionately, in Pythian work than Astoria, and as the members of that order make the motto of the organi zation not alone a silent precept, but au active duty, the cardinal princi pies of the order have a living growth in the hearts of its adherents and frends. Messrs. Tuttle, Fulton and Cleveland delivered excellent ad dresses last evening, and after the installation there was a social dance. Donkey parties are the latest wrig gle in social gatherings. A large sil houette representing a tailless donkey is cut out of paper or cloth and fas tened upon the wall. To each of the guests are given a cambric tall and a pin. Then, they are blindfolded, one by one, placed in a corner opposite the donkey, whirled three times around, and then started on a blind search for the donkey, upon which, if tfeey reach it, the tail is to be pinned. If the guest goes in another direction and"Btumbles against a wall, door, chair, or anything else, there he must leave the tail. The move ments of the blindfolded are said to beludiorous. The person who makes the best effort to place the tail upon the donkey where it belongs receives a present of somo kind, while the guest who makes the most unsuccess ful effort gets the booby prize.

"Now, children,' said she, "how many of you know anything about Moses?" Only one hand went up. "That's right, Jimmy; I'm glad to see there's one in the school who has heard of him before. Now, who was Moses?" "He's the feller wot they wantod to know where he was when the light went out," exclaimed Jimmy with great gusto. That ended the bible lesson for the day. St. Paul Herald.

THE PUBLIC GOOD ALONE DESIRED, Under the heading "That Division Scheme," The St. Helens Mist objects to changing the Columbia county west boundary line, and comments on The Astobiak's suggestion that the line be extended three miles east ward, partly as follews: An3' resident of Nehalcm who desires to have anv portion of that country at tached to Clatsop connty, evidently does not understand his own interests. If Astoria is more convenient for theNe halem settlers, wU The Astobian please inform us by what road they would travel to eet there. Is there anv road at all from Astoria to any portion of Clatsop connty that is lit to ba traveled by a wagon? Are your taxes less than ours, and is your county better governed in any way? In Columbia county, for in stance, the farmers can dictate the poli tics and business affairs of the comity. The Mist really offers no objections worth considering, and the above quotation is all that is needed to prove it. Any resident of Nehalem that does understand his interests will save both time and money and add to his convenience in every way by securing the change that the petition calls for. Astoria is more convenient in every way for tho Nehalem settlers and those in the vicinity of the present borders of the two counties, The As- torian takes pleasure in informing tho Mtst that a good wagon road now exists between Nehalem and Wood's Landing. If the change suggested by The Astorian is adopted by the legislature the settlers will bo able to get together and keep that road in repair. As it now is the Columbia county settlers and the Clatsop coun ty settlers are unable to do what they want in that way by the dividing county line whioh runs right through the settlement. What is needed is to make one road district, which cannot, of course, be done till they are in one county. The people of Vesper, in this county, and of Kiverside. in Co lumbia county, and all through that section of tho Nehalem, aro interested in this matter. Once having reached Woods Landing by that wagon road it is (and even the Mist must ao kuowlodge it) better for the settlers in the matter of time, economy, con venience, distance, steamboat con nection, rapid transit and suro arri val and departure, to come to Astoria. Once here, (and even the Mist must acknowledge it) the settlers can buy goods and supplies of all kinds a great deal better and a great deal cheaper than they can at any point in Columbia county. In this respect, J tho most important of all, tho ad vantage "es entively with Astoria, i Our merchants profess oftentimes to sell cheaper than some lines in oven Portlaud. This is not idle talk.! It is tho plain statement of an existing fact. The interest of tho , settler in that vicinity is to get here, to briug his produ-ia here to a suro cash market. Astoria will do better by him than he can do elsewhere. , Now having shown how the settlers can got here and why it is to their in terest to make this their market town, comes the next question. Yes, there ' are roads from Astoria "to any por-! tion of Clatsop county fit to be trav eled by a wagon." Come down, brother Mist, and take a look at them. There aro not as many as The Astorian would like to see, but there are a few. "Are your taxes less than ours?" asks the Mist. Publish your tax levy, sometime, just for news, and we will tell you at once. It is our opinion that they are no more. "Is your county better governed in any way?"' From the growls we occasionally see in the Mist, we should say it was. Judging from the comments of all the state journals Clatsop county is as well governed ns any of her sister counties. If The Astorian really thought that the Miit was trying to institute a comparison between the two coun ties and their relative advantages and importance, wo would give our friend something in tho way of facts and figures, but hoi3 probably "talking for buncombe," and so will let it pass. Talking of politics, if Clatsop coun ty ever gets things into auoh a mess as Columbia, it will be time enough to briug the politioal influence of "the settlers on the Nehalem" into the question. The Astorian has no "scheme" or undue desire to see the change made. If those most interested want to bet ter their condition The Astorian will commend their good sense and en dorse their effort, but Clatsop county is not at all anxious to get an inch of land from Columbia, nor a cent of taxes from present residents of that pleasant region. That is the least of our concerns, the farthest from our thoughts, and there is really no oc casion for our usually good natured brother to get worked up about pol itics. Do a little work under tho heading "good of the order," and ev erything will come out all right. Renews HcrXoutli. Mrs. Phoebe ChesJey. Peterson, Clay Co., Iowa, tells the following stoiy, the truth of which ih vouched for by the residents of the tewn: "I am 7.1 years old, have been troubled with kidney complaint and lameness for many years: could not dress myself without help.

To the People of Astoria and Vicin ity : I would express my thanks for your liberal patronage thus far. Will here announce my pleasure to make Astoria my home. My desire has al ways been to build a reputation up on merit alone, and while I remain here shall try to give my patrons val ue received. My ability on imitation of woods, I consider second to none on this -coast. Being an honorable member of the G miners' Union of Chicago, where none but first class artists are admitted, am ready to baok that assertion with a trial in that branch of art work, riot yet having had the opportunity to dis play the highest degree of skill in that line here. 1 am capable of exe cuting the paneling hard finished walls, for dining rooms and halls, in the latest styles of architectural de signs, prospective mouldings and champers, imitation of inlaid orna mentation, imitation of carved fruit pieces and game panels for dining rooms, carveu ornaments for halls, imitation of beaded wainscoting with crown mould for bathrooms, etc. This particular work but few of the many who olaim to be grainers reach, and only with long years of study and practice oan be accomplished. Any one giving mo a trial in this high grade or work J. will guarantee to please beyond their expectations. If not, I ask no pay. Respectfully, B. F. A&i,en. Take It In Time.

Iu a town not so very far awny, the other day, a couple of wicked clerks carried a barrel out of the store and sat it down in tho middle of the street. The barrel was an ordinary barrel and was empty. Tho clerks looked into it as intently as if it contained a section of a 10-cent circu3, laughed, and then withdrew. Men on both Bides of the street saw the perform ance and wero soon looking down on the bare bottom of tho barrel. Each rnaji smiled at himself for being so completely sold, but ho would hove died before giving tho snap away. All (iuy long the citizens wore walk ing up to that barrel 'and coming away smiling. Every man in town was caught and dvery inan in town kept the secret to himself. A. Captain's t-ortunnte Iicovery Capt. Coleman, schr.
