This human perambulating melodeon, held the crowd in awe with his awful and unearthly sounds, till he broke the spell by stopping the music and calling for a. contribution. The small but talented band whioh has attracted many listeners to their overtures fpr the last few days were engaged by some of Aetoria's society young men to furnish mnsio for a dance and social meeting on board the 5. ff. Heed at the O. R. & N. dock last evening. This evening the mis tletoe club have them engaged to fur nish musio for a hop nt Jjioerty nail.

Kelly; and vice pres ident, D. W. Fcely; secretary, Ed. Noon an: treasurer, Barth. Wall; mar shal, J. M. Feely. The objects of the organization are worthy and it should prosper. Mr. John Jack, during a pleasant call on this office yesterday, recalled many reminiscences of his visit to Astoria in '77. He spoke of the fire that preoeded his first entertainment on Saturday night, the changing of bis company into a backet brigade and the efforts with the old hand en gine by which means the fire was ex tinguished. Mr. Jack staid in the city and gave a series of entertain ments on the following Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the benefit of the Astoria fire department, and with the assistance of many en ergetic citizens, some of whom are now on the honorary or exempt roll, Rescue No. 2 was organized.

The board of directors of the Asto ria and South Coast Railway Co., held their usual Monday meeting yes terday afternoon. There were pres ent, president J. A. Devlin, first vice president F. J. Taylor, second vice president D. K. Warren - and Meesre. Crosby, Conn, Fulton and Morgan; also chief engineer and superintend ent Henry B. Theilsen and secretary E. O. Holden. The committee on right of way reported progress show ing that the right of way along the line of surrey had been secured from a large majority of the property own ers and that there was a fair prospect of soon obtaining it from all. A com munication from the secretary of the Salem board qf trade was read and the secretary was instructed to reply that the direotors of tho Astoria and Sonth Coast Railway Co., would be glad to confer with a committee from the Salem board of trade in this city on any day it might choose to ap point. After a prolonged discussion on various matters in the interest of the road, the board adjourned till Monday next. Tho Manzanita arrived in last Sunday from a trip to points in her district. Buoys were put down out side of Shoalwater boy and Gray's harbor. Destruction island was vis itod and the dwellers there enlight ened as to the results of the late pres idential election. They fonnd the provisions and supplies on the island about exhausted, as communication had been interrupted for over six weekBby tho stormy weather. The schooner which was engaged by the contractor to deliver supplies was compelled to stand out to sea when the late storm set in, and she has not been heard from since. Oapt. Rich ardson touched at Tillamook rock and brought up Mr. McClure, who has been making repairs on tho lamp. The Manzanita yesterday trans ferred some buoys from the O. R. & N. dock to the Tongne point buoy de pot. They are of a lot of 23 that have been sent overland from New York. Some ice buoys are expected down to-day. They are something new on this coast They are made about the same shape and dimensions as a spar buoy, but of iron, and are to be placed where wooden buoys are de stroyed by ice or the teredo. Capt. Riohardson will probably start on a trip up the coast on Wednesday, weather being favorable. This office is in constant receipt of communications from persons in nearly every part of IhcUmtcd States asking for information whioh will enable them to come here and seonre a situation whioh will yield them a salary. The applications are in moat every instance from persons who "are seeking some light employment, suoh as bookkeeping, clerking, typewriting, school teaching, etc. The invariable answer to 'all such is that positions of that nature are all filled, and that there are others something like them selves who are anxiously awaiting the vacancy into which they may promptly step for coin. For those who have strong willing hands that are not afraid of work there is lots of room in this vicinity There are thousands upon thousands of acres of nnoconpied lands that will furnish employment and homes to those who have the industry and per severance to carve them out with their own bands. It is slow work, perhaps, and hard work, certainly, but its rewards are sure. But, while we would advise many who are si ready here to quit looking for light, easy work, and take hold of that whioh is hard, but which brings in dependence, we cannot reoommend those looking for light employment to come here.

Ross' opera house contained a large mixed assembly of church goers and non church attendants on Sunday afternoon and evening assembled to listen to Messrs. Studd and Bnrke, the revivalists, who are announced as tho forerunners of the widely famed D wight Tj. Moody. The exercises on both occasions commenced with a half hour's praise service, led by Mr. Burke, assisted by n large choir of home talent, Miss Nellie Flavel pre siding at the organ. Mr. Burke is an accomplished leader and has an ex cellent tenor voice; the beautiful solos he rendered were listened to with wrapt attention and had the occasion war ranted it would have called forth loud applause from the delightod'au dience. Tho distinct enunciation and manifest feeling displayed in tho- at terapce of the words he sung was equivalent to a sermon. After prayer, offered by one of the local clergy, Mr. Studd read a passage of scripture, and after the singing of another gospel song proceed to address those present on the subject of salvation by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Mr. Studd makes no attempt at sensation alism, bnt with calm earnestness and evident heartfelt interest and sincerity endeavors to strengthen the faith of Denevers, ana to urge them to show their faith by their works'; and then by heart searching warnings and ap peals to the careless and indifferent as well as to pronounced unbelievers, he strives hard but affectionately to fasten upon their minds suoh impres sions as he hopes by the blessing of God will lead them to repent of their sins and seek for salvation. An after meeting was held in tho evening at which many remained. At the close of the evening service, Mr. Studd an nounced the meeting on Monday eve ning would be held in Liberty Hall. owing to the opera house being other wise engaged. To-day there will be a meeting for bible reading, conduct ed by Mr. Studd nt 3 o'clock in the Baptist churoh, and a general meet ing in the evening at the opera house to be preceded by a halt hour sonc service to commence nt seven -o'clock. How Men Die. . If wo know all the methods of ap- proacn adopted uy an enemy we are tho better enabled to ward off the danger and pospone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength of the body suffices to enable it to op pose the tendenoy toward death. Many however have lost these forces to such an extent thnt there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all the difference between sadden death and-many years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms-of a Cough, uoid or any trouble or tho throat or Luugs, give that old and wellknown remedy Boschee's German Syrupr a careful trial.
