The historv of the Astoria Chamber of Coin men entitle it to far more con siileration than it is receiving at the hands of the bulk of it memWr and business men, generally, of this city. A city of this size, resource and heavy commercial industries, should have a very definite interest in the work of it own especial agency and eniphaMie that interest by reasonably regular attend ance upon the session of the ehaniWr aud not leave it important task to the hand of a small group of men, how ever representative, and capable, it may be, nor permit ojieration of grave im port to the city to be restricted to the few. Happily, Astoria is singularly for tunate in having an able minority to as sume the work entailed, and not only able, but willing and patient under the harden of the woil, and tltee few faith fill people should not be taxed beyond their limit of rc-ponsibilitv.

Valuable stones have been destroyed in this way, and it i whispered that cunning dealers are not averse to allowing responsible client to handle or carry in their warm pocket large crystal fresh from the mine. By way of safeguard against explosion some dealers imbed large diamond in raw po tatoes to insure safe transit to Kngland. o An Eldorado man, a bridegroom, makes this inquiry: "Shall I tell my wife everything or shall I tell her1 nothing!" Not knowing a thing alsmt it. we asked a man who has been mar ried fifty years to explain. He said: "Tell vour wile even-thing." But the neighbor say thi old codger is hen pecked. Ye then railed on a man who has had three wives and i now look ing around for No. 4. "Tell them noth ing," he sail. "If you tell them the truth they will think you are lying, and if you lie to tiiem they will catch you. Look wise, say nothing and avoid trouble." 0 The. average man wooes for choice a humming bird of the most gorgeous plumage. The man's ta-te is perfectly understandable. Tiie mistake come later. When he has secured hi bird he carries it home and exjiects to find in the cage a demure little canary pos sessed of every staid, domestic aud ca nary like attribute. o It ha Wen olticully ascertained that Tort Arthur, when it surrendered, had a garrison of 17 generals, 1300 other commissioned officer and 25.1KHI able bodied men, and food aud ammunition enough to last sixty day. (Jvneral Stoessel's lasl ditch was far from being a desperate extremity. o Canada find that male teachers are disapeuring, and reasonably conclude that a slary of $300 or 400 a year is not regarded a a prize in these time.

If the iUa of John Hfnniker II-at"n, the Eiij.'li-h postal reformer and mem ber of parliament, prevail, the world may yet -eo letters sent from any civ ilized country to another, no matter how distant, for the reasonable sum 01 two cents, ju-t as domestic letters are sent now. Mr. IL-aton i- known as the "father of the iinjK-rial penny postage,'' estab lished in 1!!, the English penny lxing equal to two American cent. The law applies only to the British possesions. nd Mr. Heaton seeks to extend it all over the globe. At present the postage on a letter of ordinary weight, going to England from this country, or vice versa, is five cents. There was a time when it cost more than twice as much, and it was necessary to ue very thin letter paper to keep the postage within reasonable bounds. Now the ordinary letter paper used in domestic corres' pondeni "goes." That fact that Mr. Heaton ha intent ted Ex-PoMniastee' General Wanamaker in the movement, and that he has interested our ambassa dor to the court of St. James, may be evidenced aa at least a favorable sign o THAT NEW HOTEL. The question of a new and modem hotel for this city was a theme of ani mated discussion in the Chamber of Commerce at it seseion on Monday night last, and though nothing of mo nient transpired, it is evident the sub ject will receive tangible treatment at the next meeting on November 6th. A' toria has everything in the way of at traction to boast of except this, and owes it to herself and the travelling public to supply the hiatus without de lay and out of her own abundance of means. There are innumerable sites that would make the house famous and the question of money will prove email matter when this city takes hold as it should. All that is wanted is public spirit to take a grip on the situ ation, and Astoria snap will do the rest in no time. 0 It is not uncommon for a diamond to explode soon after it reaches the sur face; some have been known to burst in the pockets of the miners or when Seattle, Oct. 17.
