The twinkling lights at night in tho myriad boats on the broad ex panse of the Colnmbia form a unique sight to those unused to the specta cle. The lights appearand disappear as the boats heave and toss on the water, and as when light clouds are blown between the beholder and the stars in the sky, so with the flashing ot tnose stars on tho sea. "Well," said a lady yesterday, just on tno vommoia, "it just does me good to see that green grass and those Deautuui tree3." btie had been in San Diego county, Oal., where they chop wood with a hammer, cut hay with a hoe, an 3 plant corn with a crowbar, and where water in plenty is the only thing that will make any thing but horned toads grow.

New Yobk, May C The Times pub lishes the following triple-leaded special from New York, which it indorses as coming direct from a most authentic seurce: New Yobk, May 4. I havo entirely reliablo information that the friends of Blaine have, within the last three days, received, direct from him, his assent to .an aggressive move ment for his renomination for president, and assurance that if nominated, in the faco of his Florence lotter of declination, he would not feel at liberty to decline. A general and systematic effort has been made by Blame's closest friends, such as Chairman Jones, Win. Walter Phelps, Whitelaw Beid, Charles Emery Smith and others, for two months past, to get Blaine into the attitude of a passive candidate. The Washington conference was only a part of varied methods by which influence has been brought to bear upon Blaine, and the publication of his portrait, freshly taken from life in Italy, and issued by the Judge this week, was decided on more than a month ago as . the starting point for the effort to mako Blaine a candidate. Every possible pressure has been put on Blame to get from him direct assur ance that he will not declino if nomin ated, and that assurance has been re ceived in this city within the last three days. In a very few days more it will cease to be a secret that Blaine is in the hands of his friends, as the Blaine leaders will at onca come to tho front and make an aggressive campaign for his nomina tion. This movement has been pretty clearly foreshadowed for some weeks in such Blaine organs as the Tribune of this eity, and the' Philadelphia Press, and all af fectation about Blaine's candidacy will now soon be thrown off and the battle made an aggressive one. A part of the original programme was the election of Charles Emory Smith as delegate at large from New York state, and the failure was a great disappoint ment to the Blaine junto in this citv; but air. Smith gives assurance that Blaine can command a majority of the Penn sylvania delegation under any circum stances, and that if Blaine's nomination shall seem to be assured the delegates will be solid for him. The unexpected expressions in Massa chusetts and Yermont for Blaine were not accidental, nor were thoynnerpectcd to Blaine's friends. When nil of the anti-Blaine men were reposing ou their arms, because they re garded Blaine out of the fight, the friends of Blaine were most energetic in their work in two anti-Blaine New En gland states, nnd they have got posses sion of Yermont and Massachusetts while the others were sleeping in fancied security. It was the expression of these hitherto anti-Blaine New England states that made Blaine cast aside his doubts, and assent to the importunities of his friends for renomination. It is now a positive fact that Blaine is in the field; that his friends have his as sent to a movement in his favor, and that he will be nominated at Chicago, if hard work and plenty of enthusiasm can accomplish it. A Warning. The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclu sively that more persons die from dis eases of the Throat and .Lungs than any other. It is probable that every one, without exception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and it allowed to con tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing Consumption and to the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this is. dangerous nnd if allowed lo proceed will in timo cause death. At the onset you must not with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go without yonr attention is dangerous nnd may lose you yoar life. As soon ns you feel that something is wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob tain a bottle of Boschee's German Syrnp. It will give yon immediate relief. U-ist Evenins'n Entertainment. There was a good entertninment and pleased audience at the Opera house last evening and a most attrac tive programme was successfully pre sented "The Drnmmer Boy of the Rappa hannock," a recitation by Mis3 Annie Frye, preceded a brief introduction by Bev. Geo. C. Hall, of Major Hen dershotr, who with his son who played on the fife, gave some stirring music on the drum. This wa3 followed by clever littlo""Miss Edith Conn, whose elocutionary powers are most unusu al. She had previously played a dif ficult accompaniment on tho piano, and now came forward in a well re cited selection. Major Ilendorshott's imitation of nn engino going up a steep grade and through a tunnel was realistic; he followed it by "The Girl I Left Behind Me," and after nnother recitation by Edith Conn, the Major called Messrs. Elmore, Wright, Stock ton, Hall and Baker on the stage, singing the praises ot tho white army bean, to the tune of tho "Sweet Bye and Bye," joining in the chorus nnd being strongly reinforced by the boys in the gallery, airs, iilmoueimo ap peared in a picturesque Finnish cos tume and in response to nn encore sang a second song in her native language. A finely rendered recita tion by Mrs. Mary Kinney, "Boger and I," her lightest utter ance being distinctly heard in every part of tho hall, was fol lowed by "Marching through Geor gia," on the fife and drum. Mr3. Frank Stokes then favored the audi ence with a song sung with great feeling and expression, Miss Myra Stevens accompanist, after which Bev. A. LeBoy recited in most excel lent manner "The Veteran's Beturn." The Major who is a hearty, cheery man, and a splendid performer on the drum, then played numerous selec tions, and stated that he had deter mined to take aphis faturo residence in Ashland iu this state. He was loudly applauded, and if he visits Astoria again may be assured of a hearty welcome. CMlOreE Cry forPitclier's Castoria THE GEEAT GEABBEB CHECKED. Lynching of a California Murderer. New Specials From Europe and the East. New Yobk, M8y 5. Jay Gould and other othcers of the Missouri Paoifio and Missouri, Kansas & Texas Bail- way Co.s were served yesterday with an order to show cause why they should not be made to halt in their endeavors to get absolute control of the International & Groat Northern railroad, and sever it from its owner, the Missouri,KanBas & Texas. The or der was obtained from Judge Barret by counsel for Wm. Landon Ball and Wm. Martinson, representing a majority of tho stockholders who propose to oust the Gould board at the annual election on May 16. Judge Barrett also granted tem porary injunction restraining Gould and associates from in any way "monkeying" with stock or securities of the Missouri, Kansas & Pacific or the International & Great North ern, or in any way changing the sta tus of either company until after the nnunal election, and they are all or dered to show cause in addition why their acts iu relation thereto that they have recently done, should not be declared void. It was only last Tuesday or Wednesday that Ball and Martinson learned that Gould and his associates had by clever manipulation secured control of about all the stock and bonds of the International & Great Northern without the payment of a cent in money, and that the directors of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas had hurriedly agreed to cancel the lease ot the International to their road. They at onoe took measures to frus trate tho schemes, -with the result mentioned. LYNCHED BY A HOB. St. Helena. Cala., May 5. John Wright, who shot and killed Budd Vann in this town two weeks ago, was taken from jail early this morn ing by a mob of masked men and hanged to a bridge at the head ot the main street. Wright had been con fined in the county jail at Napa since the shooting, but was brought -hero yesterday tor preliminary examina tion. No one suspectod that an at tempt at lynching would be made. At one o'clock this morning Justice Elgin, who had the jail keys, was called to his door, snrrounded by the mob and forced to give the keys up. The crowd then took the prisoner from tho jail and in ten minutes his body was hanging from the bridce. No arrests have been made, but the tragedy is deplored by all law abiding citizens. The shooting of young Vann oc curred near a house of ill fame. Vann and some companions were standing near by when some one threw rocks at the window; Wright, who was a brother of an inmate, was in the house at the time, and imme diately fired a shot, striking Yann. THE IRISH QUESTION. London. May 5. Gladstone gave audience to three Parnellite members of parliament Thursday. Lord Bose berry was also present.

At the request of Catholic members ot parliament the lord mayor ot Dublin convened a meeting to-day for the purpose of discussing tho Pope's rescript. Res olutions were adopted traversing the statements by which the Pope justi fied tho rescriot and assuring his ho liness ot unalterable attachment to him in his spiritual capacity, but firmly and respectfully, bnt emphat ically refusing to recognize his right to interveno in Irish politics. Meet ings will be held throughout West Clare to-morrow to protest against tho papal rescript on the grounds that tho Pope is ignorant ot the suf ferings of the people of Clare. GOING TO SCOTLAND. New York, May R Mrs. Andrew Carnegie baa received a lotter from Mrs. James G. Blaine accepting an invitation to join Carnegie's coaching party through the Scottish highlands abont the sixth of June.
