Some new and finely built fishing boats have been hauled through the streets this week from the shop to tho water for final finish for next sea son's work. The social at Mrs. Dr. Trenchard's last Tuesday night was as befitted the occasion, one of great enjoyment to all present. The proceed': of the evening aggregated $41. The Abercorn came in yesterday, too late by five days to save her char ter. The collier Umatilla also ar rived in. The Oregon is due this morning from San Francisco; the State sails. Considerable snow fell last Wednes day night and yesterday morning, and in the early hours every tree and twig and out door plant had a feath ery covering. By ten o'clock the sun shone out warm and the most of the snow melted and disappeared. Dp to yesterday 353 shares of stock in the building and loan association had been taken. Tho stock books will be at Foard k Stoke's the remain der of this week. There will be a meeting of the stockholders and oth ers in the police court rooms at eight o'clock to-morrow evening. During February, says the News, the land department of the Northern Pacific has received twice the number of letters it did this month last year. These letters .are mostly from Indi ana, Illinois and the southern states, with Virginia and Tennessee in the lead. It is believed that there will be an exodus from those states to Oregon this year. B. D. Hume is reported building for the Smith river trade a tug of novel construction. She will be 72 feet long, 18 beam and 11 feet hold. She is built on the monitor plan, ev erything below the decks. A shaft will run the entire length of the ves sel, with a propeller at each end, and it is calculated that she will make fifteen miles an hour. It is understood that the Astoria Gaslight company are to light 43 street lights in addition to tho ten eleotric street lights furnished by Mayor Trullinger. Seventeen of tho forty-three are to be gas lights at $3.75 per month; tho other twenty six, coal oil lamps, at $2.24 a month. This will make the cost of lighting the city 281.99 a month. (KRSOXAL.

The most staitling news comes from Genoa aud the Riv iera. Over fifteen hundred people were killed in that district by the great earthquake. At the village at Bay ardo, situated at the top of a hill, a large number of the inhabitants took refuge in a church when the first shocks of earthquake were felt: Snl sequent greater shocks demolished tho church and three hundred were killed. The destruction of property in many sections of Italy i immense and widespread. Tho people are afraid to return to their houses or hotels. Last evening the heights back of the city were crowded with people, among whom were over 2,000 English, American and Russian visit ors on the elevated ground. Six thousand persons have left the city and started for Paris. So severe were tho shocks that in some cases whole villages built, on the sides of mountains, toppled over into the valley. Three railway trains have been dis patched with food :md supplies for the sufferers and a number of soldiers have also been sent to assist them. The Prince of Wales is in that region and great fears are entercained for his safety. AN UNDECIDED CONTEST. There was a dog fight last night in tho back room of "The Fallen An gels." The dogs were bull dogs. One was named Nip, and tho other Tuck. A bull dog is a compact mass of tiger, mouse, ox, tidal wave, light ning, office holder and ram. The wind goes down, the office holder dies, the rain quits, the firo goes out, the leak stops, the snow melts, even the piano artiste finally gives out, but the bull dog never lets go. You can argue with an ordinary dog, you can scare a bull, astonish a tiger, frighten a lion, get out of the way of an elephant, but when a bull dog turns loose, nothing walks, swims or jumps that can stand him off but another bull dog. There was a ring with sawdust: the sawdust was yellow and whito at the start, but blood-spotted at tho close. There were several enjoying the sport of seeing the brutes tugging and biting. One prominent gentleman, whose position as a member of tho militia and consequent familiarity with scenes of carnago-had hardened his sensibilities, stood, gloomily, the drab, of his eye in neat contrast to the gentleman who stood next him, tho deep dark brown of his eye harmonizing with the deep dark brown of his paper collar. Ho was fresh frorii handling soup and leading ripe cheese to its proper owner, a deep woo upon his face and a dark polish on the shoulder of his pants. Tho lamps cast silhouettes, the chimney cracked on one of them and tho flame smoked, but none noticed it; all eyes centered on the dogs who bit and glared and gouged and breathed heavy and held on. In the great joy of the moment audible re grets were heard regarding absent ones who were missing the fun and reckless bets of large amount wore proffered regarding Nip's ability to remove " tho sanguinary intestines from Tuck, and equally confident as sertions were heard alleging Tuck's cnanco to aisngnre .Nip's anatomy in a similar manner. Still the dogs fought and one man who had forgotten to light his cigar, spat upon the ground with vehemence and said he'd bo blanked if it wasn't a blank good fight, and several nod ded grave assent. Then a motion to adjourn was put by the speaker of the house, and the dogs being with difficulty separated, were put each in charge of a dry nurse, a draw was. declared, and in one time and two motions, three beats to tho bar, tho crowd moved to the front room to irrigate, one surprising his stomach by absent-mindedly swallowing the water before tho gin, so much alike did they look as they moved themselves aright in their re spective glasses. - i Wonderful Cures, W.

Both in her land and sea forces Franco has a peace effective numerically superior to that of Germany. The difference is greatest in the navy, and there also it could not bo made up, should a war occur at any time before 1890; yet, though it may seem a contradiction, in tho navy this French numerical superiority is the least important. Germany has no colo nies worth attacking, and her compara tively short coast lino at home, where accessible at all, is well provided with defenses, whilo Franco has a long coast line to guard. Above all, the tremendous vigor with which war on land would be waged between these powers would make it the decisive element: just as in 1870, when the French naval superiority was perhaps even more marked than to-day, it yet availed nothing. For this reason it is not important to compare the naval forces of the two countries. The army peace establishment of France is the larger, but in population and potential arms-bearing resources Germany has tho advantago. Franco has the greatest debt and heavier taxes to sustain, but from these taxes the Govern ment receives the ampler appropriations each year for military and naval purpo ses. Tho peace effective of the French army, according to last vear's budget, is 223,233, comprising 31,140 officers and 192,143 enlisted men. Major Huberding of the Germay War Ministry, in report ing recently to tho special committee of the Iteichstag on the army bill, estimated the French force of enlisted men at only 471,000, possibly substracting either the gendarmerie, numbering 23,823, or else the military schools and bureau troop3, which combined amount to 21,000. Tho peace footing of tho German Empire comprises 18,113 officers aud 427,274 men, making an aggregate of 443,417. Thus in tho peace effective tho advantage is clearly on tho side of the French. News of recent date, however, announces that GS,200 infantry and 4800 riflemen, making' a total of 73,000 men of tho German re serves, havo been summoned to drill dur ing the present week, so that for the next fortnioht tho effective force with the colors will be about as great on the Ger man side. Turning to tho war footing, the first addition of France would bo what is called tho territorial army, which com prises an aggregate of 016,000 othcers and men. Other additions might carry the total effecthe under the first call up to 1,600,000 men, including all arms and staff services. Tho German mobilization for a war footing, without the landsturm and special organizations, but including gatrison and field reserves, would com prise 35,127 officers and 1,45G,G77 men, with about 27,000 more for the medical and collateral forces. Thus we see again how close tho two mobilizations would come in numerical strength. When tho landsturm is called out on the one side and its French equivalent on tho other the Germans have an ultimate superiority of numbers, although tho French nomin ally counterpoise the advantage of popu lation by making a larger ratio of their people liable to a military service. Still, so far as numbers are concerned, the French would be much better off at the outset than in 1870. Were it possible for them, by a sudden dash, to invade Alsace and Lorraine, and neutralize the advant age in population which their possession gives to the Germans, a new faco might bo put upon the strugglo. The Ger man fortifications, military skill and watchfulness, however, and the proba bility that if there is war this year it will be due to Germany's taking the initiat ive, render this contingency unlikely to occur. The difference between tho respective organizations of the two forces may be orieny inaicarea uy saying mac ranee is a little stronger in infantry, about in proportion to the general strength of her peaco organization. She is decidedly the Stronger in artillery and especially in tho number of her field guns. Major Huber ding declared to tne iteichstag that the French batteries now contain 432 mount ed field pieces more than the German, the latter having 1404 to tho 1830 ol , France. On the other hand, the. Ccr- j mans are very much stronger than tls j French in cavalry, having fully seventy more squadrons and about one-third more total cavalry force. One of the highest cavalry authorities in Franco de clares that the disparity in this respect at tho outset would be much greater, since a large part of tho French mounted force is absent in Africa, making the German available force nearly double that of tho French. In a week or ten days, however, the absent French cavalry could be recalled, and then the respective strength in this arm would bo an aggre gate of about 04,000 officers and men for tho Germans against 48,000 for the French.

The Srience of Baldnes3. It answer to an inquiry from a voung unmarried man as to the cause of baldness and whether anything had been discovered to help it, Bill Nye makes the lollowing response through the Boston Qlebe: . Baldness 13 liable to break out in tho mnst unlooked for localities, but I think it is generally inherited. I inherited mine, bnt I have added to it a good deal. You may not think you have inher ited your baldness, and yet if you go back seven or- eight generations and exhume your ancestors, you will find that thev are, in most cases, totally bald. I havo tried several preparations in my lifetime, all of which were good for baldness and assisted it very much. These remedies for the hair less are deemed to resemble each oth er in two particulars, namely: they were all expensive and all sticky. Some smelled offensively when first applied, while -others were more suc cessful after awhile. For several years I dressed very plainly, Elisha, using the balance of my income on the site of my former hair. As a result of this, my bosom alter nately hove with anticipation or fell in disappointment, while my bangs remained unbung and my hat smelled like a volcanic eruption. Various people came to mo with recipes for wooing the hair out of my glossy intellectual rink. Among them there came to mo a gentleman from England named Macrostic, who claimed to have been royal taxiderm ist for nine years, after which ho had acted as chiropodist extraordinary for several years, removing unicorns from the great and small. He said that he could grow a waving crop of j tresses on my bleak and barren brow for five pounds. He now has the five pounds and I still retain the broad sweep of barren brow. I cannot tell you how you can em bower your tall sleek forehead in rank, wind-tossed hair, Elisha, but I can tell you how you can save 500. Take your hair invigorator money and buy a town lot in a growing town that supports its home paper and ad vertises and goes ahead, and you will find in twenty years that you will be well fixed, and a man who is well fixed don't care whether ho has any hair or not. I've seen men with long, rich, wavy hair, which fell in a glorious shower of dandruff on the collar of their overcoats, who were just as unhappy as yon or I, Elisha. Hair alone can not bring happiness. I onco knew a man who was very successful, indeed, and was finally made postmaster of his town, and he had whiskers that he had to button inside his coat to keep them from brushing other peo ple's eyes out, and he had hair to sell, and yet when there came a change of administration, and a new president who hadn't an alma mater to lay his jaws to, thi3 hairv man was almost the first to fall. A wealth of hair is a good thing, but the head wa3 not made solely as hot bed for tho propagation of hair. Baldness is one of the penalties, of civilization, Elisha. Barbarians aro never bald. Peo ple who sleep in straw piles and eat their pastor always havo all the hair they can manage. Those who go on bareheaded for generations and live on grasshoppers and acorns are never bald. Plug hats, late sup pers and earnest thought are hard on hair. I say thi3 to comfort you, Elisha, for I am married and do not care. "What True Merit Will Do. The unprecedented sale of Boschee's German Sump within a few years, has astonished the world. It is without doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for the speedy and eftcctual emoof Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung tioables. It acts on an entirely different principle from the usual prescriptions given by Physicians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave the disease still in the system, but on the contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected and leaves them in a purely healthy con dition. A bottle kept in the house for use when the diseases make their ap pearance, will save doctor's bills and a long spell of serious illness. A trial will convince you of these facts.
