CO Sft gmty Ssforan. ASTORIA. OREGOK: WEDNESDAY .1 JULY 17. 1SS9 Portlaxd started a clearing house Jast Monday, and the first day's ex changes amounted to 8361,819.73. - TnE idea of a single legislative house, instead of the usual house and senate, is said to be regarded with considerable favor by the delegates of the North Dakota constitutional convention. Exglaxd has over one million dol lars invested in the manufacture of idols for heathen countries, and yet the churches of that country are con tinually calling for more money and more missionaries to suppress idol-atrv. "A NICE LITTLE GIRL." Bnt She Didn't Care Abont Waiting. The death of Laura Bridgman re calls the story that when Thomas Carlyle once impertinently asked: "What great or noble thing has Amer ica ever done?" somebody replied: "She has produced a girl deaf, dumb and blind from infancy, who from her own earnings has sent a barrel of Hour to the starving subjects of Great Jntain in Ireland." Laura End man was the girl. That is a queer story told of E. L. Harper, the wrecker of the Fidelity bank of Cincinnati. It is to the effect that he has been doing a profitable iron business to the tune of $350,000 a year while serving his sentence in the Ohio penitentiary. Through the ef forts of his faithful wife, a joint stock company was formed, and. presum ably through the collusion of some of the prison officials, Harper was al lowed to direct the movements of this company by telegraph, thus enabling it to make money when other men in the iron business were actually run ning behind. It is a striking illustra tion of what a "smart" man with money can do even when he is dead in the eyes of the law. In the mean while the discovery of this little ar rangement will be likely to arrest the efforts to obtain a pardon for this dis-l tmguished criminal. The barbed-wire patents, which have netted fortunes to their owners, have an interesting history. The first patents were issued to a man flamed Ivelly, living down east. About two years later a farmer at De Kalb, 111., conceived the idea of keeping his un ruly cattle in the pasture by putting short barbs on a wire and then twist ing it with a plain wire. This is known in the market as the Gidden wire, be ing named after its inventor, Joseph F. Gidden. One day, while he was experimenting with it, a neighbor go ing by, sheuted: "Joe, you better be out harreriu' in your oats instead of foolin' away your time with patents." . Gidden thought otherwise, and in less than two years received a bonus of SGO.OOO with the guarantee of a royal ty on all made under his patents. For one year his royalties exceeded 3174,000. Editor of The Asteriax: In the fall of '68 a small party left Astoria to look over the ground be tween Astoria and the Nehalem valley to see if any insurmountable difficultv existed to building a railroad to that Place many people having said be fore that time flmf Sn,l.n mni1.,u;n was part of a continuous range and was impassable.

For a year I was troubled with paius in my back and side, and headaches, the re sult of liver and kidney trouble, I wa attracted to Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, by the startling testimonials in the pa pers. They seemed so practical I was in duced to try it, knowing that as it was purely vegetable, it would do no harm. It acted as a gentle laxative. After the second bottle my pains and aches disap peared. It did so much for me that I sent several bottles to my family in xCw Jersey, who also took it with "the most satisfactory results.
