CZD " ltc gaitjj gtforiuu. ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY. .VEDRUARY 11.1BS9. No one man is just like other men. Nor is any one man "wholly unlike all other men. Yet many a man makes the mistake o thinking, cither that every man is just like himself, or that nobody is. As a matter of fact, every person is typical of a largo class of persons, while no person ptands as the type of all persons. The Earl of Onslow has been ap pointed by Lord Salisbury governor of New Zealand. Tim is the nobleman who once created such fun in Chicago while on his way to the northwest as a jjuest of Henry Villard. When he reached Chicago he bought a suit of warm underclothing and had the bill sent to Mr. Villard. As he traveled in Mr. Villard's private car, and all his other bills, sueh as hotels, wines and cigars, were paid by that gentlo man, it was not perhaps unreasonable for the thrifty nobleman to think that underclothes went in the deal also. Villard paid the bill but got even with the earl by giving the story away to the newspapers. New Hastpshike has lately had a constitutional convention, which has adopted some amendments to the or ganic law of the state. One of the most important of these was an amendment providing that no person shall hereafter be eligible to citizen ship who cannot read the constitution in the English language and write his name. Another amendment places all religious sects demeaning them selves quietly and as good subjects of the state equally under the protection of the law. An amendment providing that all civil officers be elected by a plurality instead of a majority vote was proposed but was rejected. A like fate befel an amendment pro viding for a division of the state into senatorial districts on the basis of population instead of on that by di rect taxes paid. So an amendment providing for annual instead of bleu nial sessions of the legislature was rejected. An amendment fixing the salary of members of the legislature at $200 per annum was adopted, as was also an amendment changing the time of the meeting of the legislature from June to January. This latter change puts the state in lino with a majority of the states as regards the ' of the session. Whek Johns Hopkins died at Balti more at the end of 1873, he left to the university and hospital which he had founded six years before, what was regarded as a magnificent endowment It amounted to more than $G,000,000 invested in favorite securities. There werejincluded in the bequest 17,500 shares of Baltimore and Ohio railroad stock. That stock was looked upon as the safest and best of investments. It was then selling at nearly 200, and yieldedanetannualincomeofS175,0t!0. The value of this part of the endow ment alone was set down by all Balti more as about 3,500,000. Yet now, only fifteen years after JohnsHopkins' death, the university is in great finan cial difficulties. Instead of paying $175,000 a year, the Baltimore and Ohio stocks pays nothing at all. In stead of having been a good invest ment it was a very bad one. In the whole history of endowments there is nothing more remarkable than the outcome of Johns Hopkins' credulity with regard to this railroad. And yet he was a man noted for his business shrewdness and nobody in Baltimore except Mr. Garrett himself knew more about the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and its prospects for a per manent investment. Congressman LeFevre'd Bath. Once upon a time congressman Le- Fevre was taking a bath in the senate bathrooms. While he was in the height of his tepid enjoyment and the perfumed soapsnds were redolent , around his rotunda a messenger an- nonnccd that there were some people V who wanted urgently to see him at t once. "Who are they?" called theceneral. "I don't know. Bah," was the an swer. "I think they is some constit- oents of youis from Ohio, sah. " ,4Good -heavens," exclaimed the general excitedly, "don't let them come near here; keep them away. If ' they find out in my district that I bathe in a marble tub and am rnbbed down by a nigger instead of going f down to the creek to wash and dry ing myself with my shirt, I'll lose a thousand votes." The general has never denied this atory. Washington Post. i Pianos and Orgaus. Grifiln & Eeed nre agents for the cele brated Lyon & Healy Organs.
