The ocaslon was kept by our Celestial neighbors with the cus tomury amount of quiet ' enjoyment that characterises Its observance In (heir native land. H is the only festl val In the year In which every "son of Heaven" participates with all his heart and soul. An Important function on New Year's day Is the round of visits mado by every Chinese on his friends and acquaintances. In every house and more delicate refreshments are offered to every caller, a morsel of which Is consumed amid mutual con gratulatlons and expressions of Rood will. Thus the day Is spent, terml nut I iifj tn a hearty meal of the moBt pulntablu dishes that Chinese culinary art can devise. The absence of drunk' cn riot must strike the white man as a phasing and commendable feature. The Chlneso shop-keepers had other visitors besides their Mongolian friends white children, boys and girls, and not. a few full-grown men. These taking advantage of the Inher ent politeness and good-wilt ot the Chinese, raided the tables of sweet meats, nuts and cakes, the men help ing themselves Immoderately to cigars and otherwise behaved themselves In an unworthy manner.

Hut withal; n definite ac tion could be arrived at and public curiosity must remain hanging In the balance for another day. It Is tho cat nt nt inter Hon of the ccmiiilsHloners, however, to come to final action today.

Hit should the petition bo finally deemed competent, the fato ot the mutter will not yet have been deter mined, for favorable action will yet remain to be taken by the commis sioners to put the prayer in force through the necessary tax levy. Judge Gray Is known to have a warm spot In Ms heart for the petition and Com-ii.issioivi- Ia wis makes no bones to de clare his opposition. It isC on'mlsslon er Peterson who Is the man of the hour. He is besieged alike by friend and foo of the measure, none of whom vojld be willing to bet a farthing as to what action he may dnally take. It Is suspecteJ, however, that, every thing being equul, Coinn.issiotii.'r Lewis would cast a favorable vote cn a showdown. There Is Mill a large number of per ohis who continue discussing, pro and con, the alleged invalidity of the pe tition us a whole, Uy request, the Astorinn herewith publishes the par ticular sections of Hie statutes tiding direct bearing on the matter.

Ycsterady'a Oregnnlan says that ' tnroush the kindness of Dr. O. B. I Estes, of Astoria, the Oregon Hlstorl-i cal Society has become the custodian of the medicine chest of the old ship Sllvle de Grasse, which he has owned for a number of years. It will be re membered that the vessel was an old New York packet, built of live oak and locust. Considerable historic interest Is attached to her, from the fact that she was the vessel which brought to the United States the first news of the French revolution. In 1847 she salted fiom New York to San Francisco, ar riving In 1S48, via Cape Horn. In 1S49 she came up to the Columbia river for lumber, loading at Oregon City, St Helens and Hunt's mill (about one and one-half miles above the Clifton cannery). On her way to sea she struck a sunken rock a short distance above old Astoria, and was completely wrecked. When dismantled the chest became the property of James Welch, a pioneer of 1S44, who built the first frame house in Astoria, and whose wife was the first American woman to become a resident of the place. When Welch died his son. John W.. fell heir to it, and he gave It to Dr. Estes. The chest Ih eighteen inches long by twelve Inches in width and depth, and Is made of rosewood. SOLFILINE. Sotnilne!
