ra Site gmhf gfomtt. ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY.. .NOVEMBER 20. 1839. Secretary of war Prootor lias been given ths name in 'Washington of "The Silent Man." Commissioner IUtjji is entitled to a pension on account of wounds re ceived in the civil war, and from which he still suffers, but he has never applied for one. That fierce Apache, Geronimo, who is confined at Mount Vernon bar racks, Alabama, we learn from the Columbia, Ga. Enquirer, has learned to play the banjo. George Bancroft, the historian, told a bevy of young girls that the secret of long life lay in never losing one's temper. "If you will never get angry," said the historian, "you will live to be 90." The oldest Union soldier in Indiana is "William Iiee, who resides on Indian creek, near Columbus. He is ninety two years of age and is still hale and hearty. He was recently granted a pension with 1,500 back pay. . . . Maine men are proverbially sharp. After a lot of dickering, says the Bel fast Journal, a peddler told a horse jockey in that neighborhood that he would give him 15 and ten'bushels of clams for a horse. The offer was ac ceptedand then the peddler told the jockey he would have to go to the flats and dig the clam3 himself. George H. Binney. has just been indicted by the grand jury at Boston for obtaining money under false pre tenses. His crime consisted in living in luxury on nothing a year. He has been able to contract debts of $125, 000, without any assets, and has filed a petition in insolvency. He is only twenty years old, but looks to be thirty-eight. It takes a bushel of oats to buy a pound of sugar in Iowa. No wonder the poor old -Hawkeye state went Democratic. The people who voted the Republican ticket and could afford to buy sugar have gone to whoop up bier Betrablican majorities in the two Dakotas, Montana, "Washington and elsewhere, and have left the state to the Democrats and the other Prohis, who are all same as Democrats on election day, as they vote to put" "the Democratic party into power. The Astoriax sincerely hopes that Thos. Reed, of Maine, will be defeated for sneaker of the house. He is a bitter foe to Oregon. "Washineton and leghany mountains as the western boundary of the nation, and has too limited a mental horizon to be elected speaker or tne lower .house oi con gress. The speaker of the house has more influence in national legislation than the President himself. Mr. Reed is a clever and brilliant man, but .he is hostile to the river and harbor bill, is a gold bug after "Wall street's own heartland would be adverse to our inter ests. Major McKinley of Ohio, a broad brained, large-hearted man, is our choice, and it would be a good thing for everyone this side of the Rocky mountains if he were elected speaker of the List congress Major Generaii Schofield. com manding the army, urges that the present five regiments of artillery be increased to seven, with but one first lieutenant, instead of two for each batterj'; also that the strength of the army be increased from 25,000 to 30, 000, so as to always'have at least 25, 000 in the field. He then attacks the present system of promotion in the line of the army and charges that it work5 great injustice to some officers serving from eighteen to twenty-two years as first lieutenants, while others who are promoted have served but eleven or twelve. He recommends that hereafter these promotions be made according to seniority of com mission and not as now by regiments He commends highly the militia of the country, indorses the views of his subordinates on sea-coast defenses and adds that if the present plan be carried out during the war the garri sons will have to be composed of 35,- 000 artillery and 5,000 men will be enough. If given this increase the force at the Presidio of San Francisco will be three batteries, and at Fort Canby two batteries. AUNTIE PERPLEXED. "For heaven's sake what does your mother 40 to you children that makes yon so hun py?" "Please, auntie, she gives us Joy's Vegcta L!e Sarsaparilla and Its awful good," T. S. Milton, of SllPost street, SanTrancIicd, mites: "I had been ailing for weeks' with a disorder of the liver and kidneys.

The plaintiffs made a motion to overrule the demurrer on the ground that the policy did not provide for any such contingency, but merely promised to pay to Schreimer's heirs the face value in the event of his death. The case is without precedent, and the. de cision will be the"firBt of the kind on record in Hlinois. The defendant so ciety will contest the matter, and will, in all probability, make a fight on the proposition that a finding for the plaintiff would be against public pol icy, as it would virtually offer a pre mium to murder.

The Bereaved "Widow And The Enter prising Tombstone Agent. In the "Willamette valley there re sided an old farmer and his wife, in every sense of the word happy and contented, and withal well-to-do. But there came upon that household a very great grief; the death angel vis ited it and took away its staff the aged farmer went to the home of his fathers. This left the old lady desti tute and alone. The companion of her declining years gone to his long rest, no children to make her poor heart glad, she longed for some one in whom to confide, to whom she could look for help and comfort in her old age and her decrepitude. A young tombstone agent traveling over that part of the country, and .being in search of dead people, heard of the death of her husband, and learning also of her well-filled pocket- book, decided to visit her at her home and stay a few days and recuperate, having been traveling pretty faith fully for some time. It was his inten tion to make himself as useful as pos sible to the sorrowing lady, and ef fectually work himself into her con fidence and esteem, when he naturally expected to secure an order for a large and costly monument. He accordingly did as he had planned, and was more .successful than he had even dared to picture to nimseir, so mucn bo mat his hostess seemed to place the great est confidence in him, and appeared to like him very much. He would carry in water, chop stove wood, in faotdp anything and everything to please her. He had been there but a few days' and was beginning to think of broach ing the subject of his fondest hopes when she astounded him one dav at thd dinner table in a way never UltJcUHtU. Ul. OUO BUUUCUy cl3Ii.CH JXI111 VDo von know what I am eoinir to .dor ' Tne young man of. course re plied that he did not. She then said slowly and distinctly: "I'am going to will all my monev and property to you. I like you and believe you are an honorable young man, and one who will take care of me in my old age." ,The young man of course tried to reason with her, and urged the pecul iarity of such a move, but she still per sisted in her determination to make him her heir. When he saw that she Tvas s determined in the matter, he agreed to it with the proviso that she should deed it to him for a consider ation so as to avoid complications with relatives. The consideration was ten dollars. Thus ended a most peculiar bargain. The young man is living on the farm with the old lady, managing the business and administering to her wants with the tenderness oE a son. The property and monoy is estimated at about S20.000. The names are not published because the parties do not desire publicity. CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. i j -i. r , News Items From all Over the Northwest.
