ai Wit iailtj gstwim ASTORIA. OREGON: FIUDAY AUGUST 23. 1889. A GREAT COUNTRY. "Times ain't what they used to be," said a man to the miter yesterday. If he means that they are not as good as they used to be, or not as full of opportunities, he is mistaken. There were never better chances and openings for making money on the Pa cific coast than there are right here to-day. It takes a little brains and requires a constant exercise of energy, but the reward is there. "In the days of gold, in the days of old, the days of '49;" in the days when whisky was two bits a drink, a few were favored by fertune: the multi tude went broke. Luck predominated those days, now energy, industry and prudence win success. Luck is also as potent a factor of sudden success as it ever was. The writer knows three men not yet 35 years of age, who three years ago didn't have 100 of clear money in the world, and who, to-day, can each draw a check for 50.000 apiece and get the cash. "How did they make it?" Well partly luck and partly pluck. They saw opportunities, went in and won. This is a great country, and it is getting greater every day. The last Vermont legislature ap pointed a commissioner to set forth by circulars and advertisements the agricultural advantages of that state. The commissioner complains that many of the old farmers have aban doned their farms and many of their sons have left the state and gone else where. He states that the object of the commission was to ascertain what means could be devised "to check the gradual decrease of cultivated farms in the townships and the outflow of young men and women, aiid to repop ulate the lands thus left without ten ants." He estimates that there are twenty thousand acres of good culti vatable laud which are now abandoned. Others express the belief that the estimate is much too low that the worst has not been told. However this may be, the commissioner finding no response at home, suggests that the unoccupied lands be thrown open to colonization. To this end he has been in correspondece with a prom inent Swede in Nebraska, who is said to be "experienced in the business of founding colonies of his countrymen." The latter promises to examine the depopulated lands in question, ami if found satisfactory to bring over a colony of fifty families in the spring. We ought to be perfectly happy that we live in this glorious age of scientific thought We believe there never was another age in which the astronomer of Harvard observatory could propound the following problem and receive so many perfectly reason able answers to it: "Suppose," said he, "that three snakes each two feet in length, should catch one another by the tip of the tail, thus making a circle six feet in circumference. Sup pose that each snake should begin to swallow the one in front of him. In what way would the resultant figures after each snake had swallowed the one in front of him differ from the original circle?' The answers have been many and various, some of them, we are informed, "entering the con sideration of the fourth dimensions of space," because any one of the snakes would have swallowed the two in front of him and yetrhave been swallowed by the two back of him, and therefore, would be both inside and outside of his two fellows. The man who lives in an age when men can tackle and grasp and make so clear to others an idea of this sort has no business to be going about talking of the good old times or looking hopefully forward to anything more millenniumiBh. Mant diseased conditions of the human body are benefited or cured by coming within the influence of the ocean atmosphere. Dr. Gihon, a medical director of the navy, in the Philadelphia Medleal News argues that the slowly convalescent, from whatever disease protracted fever, nervous weakness, incipient pulmon ary trouble or overwork recuperate with marvelous rapidity during a pleasant ocean voyage. Dr. A. N. Bell in the same journal presents some remarkable statistics, showing the beneficial influence of ocean air on a staid population. Taking the population of Turk's and Caicose is lands, in the tropics, as the basis of his researches, he finds that in ten years the average annual death rate from consumption and all other pul monary diseases was about three in 1,000. Chief Justice FuliiEB will be the first Democratic chief justice to hold court in Charleston, S. C, since the days of Eobert B. Taney. Idaho and Wyoming will evidently be disappointed if theyare not admitted as states by the next congress. They have been going ahead in the business of constitution making just as though they were sure of admission. The Idaho convention has completed its work and provided for the election of a full set of officers in November. Both territories are able to make a pretty fair showing in favor of admission. They have hon est elections, also good schools, and equal rights and privileges are ac corded to all citizens who obey the laws. A distinguished lawyer of Brook lyn says : "Not long ago I was talking with Mr. Blaine about Col. Kobert G. Ingersoll, whom we both greatly ad mire for his wonderful talents. I made the remark that it was my be lief that -Colonel Ingersoll would ulti mately renounce his agnosticism. Mr. Blaine said: 'I think so too, and I shouldn't be suprised to see him some day in the pulpit." Death has dissolved the political partnership of Higgins & Buckley, two Americans of Irish birth who have long bossed San Francisco politics. Higgins was the Republican member of the firm; Buckley bled the Demo crats, and the two divided the swag. Higgins' present address is uncertain; Buckley continues the business at the old stand. Of 43,000 Italians that landed in Castle Garden last year 34,000 were males. The emigration of females from Italy is smaller than from any other country except China, averag ing but thirteen per cent of the whole number landed. From Germany the percentage is 40; from Ireland, 45. Hebe is a marriage notice clipped from a Cleveland paper: "In Guil ford, Medina county, O., on the 2nd inst, by S. Wilson, Esq., Samuel D. Curtis to Miss Sallie Murphy, after a tedious courtship of fifteen years, which was borne with Christian for titude and patience." A Boston railroad works its en gineers and firemen 127 hours one week and 92 the next. They get $15 and 11 per week respectively. Heigho! Knowledge increaseth sorrow, but strength comes through suffering. Even councilmen have their troubles. Mrs. F. F. Day, of Union county, recently gave birth to triplets.

San Franeitco Examiner. A Surprise to a Kansas Journalist. When it is remembered that the girl who cares for her looks takes a bath even' night before going to bed, washes her teeth, brushes her hair back for fifteen minutes, braids it in a long braid, puts up a dozen front and back frizzes, puts cold cream on her face, glycerine and gloves on her hands, ammonia on her chigger bites, and says ner prayers, tlie wonder is that she can ever go to bed at all.
