zJ '-Trl-Weekly Astorian ASTORIA, OREGON I. C IREIANI j. .....Edltoiv THtJRSDAY........Jc.....iAuGTJ8T 7$ 1873 -JFemale mediums' 'iir Cincinnati are fined $200 for dealing" inv spirits -without an exciBc license. -Rhode Island "wants to extend her area' by carting dirt into the ocean, but don't know "where to get the dirt. Henry M. Smith, managing edi tor of the Chicago Tribune, originated the Chicago Jubilee and made $90,000 out of it. Phoebe Couzins, 6T St. Louis, at taches to her tax bill "Paid under protest." It makes no difference to the collector. A "Western paper says: "A short, thick, striped, star-spangled-banner sort of a bug is beginning to look. after the tomato crop." - Cincinnati wants to change her big policemen for men who can chase a thief three blocks without having to sit down four times to rest One morning recently a Chicago woman borrowed $200 of her husband, and in the afternoon fluttered under his nose a divorce that had cost pre cisely that amount. Senator Morton and Governor Hendricks, of Indiara, are consider ed by Harper's "Weekly to be the most thoroughly representative men of the two parties. Three virtuous Chicago roughs attacked an old man 'whom they found fishing on Sunday, and after knocking him down and jumping on him, asked him if his Eible didn't tell him better than to fish on Sun days. The London lady whom Joaquin Miller is to marry is a Miss Hardy, the novelist, and daughter of Sir Thomas D. Hardy, long employed in the office of the master of rolls, and niinself a learned historiographer. Air Illnois paper doesn't com plain because ex-Gov. Palmer per sists in speaking so often on the rail road question, but because '"every time he speaks he has a new theory on the subject." Gen. TV. Krzyzanowski arrived on the last steamer to relievo Col. Vernon as special agent of the Treas ury department in this region. Col. Vernon will be sent to Baltimore and Philadelphia districts we understand, with headquarters at Baltimore. The movement inaugurated. -by the Italian residents of New -York against the Italian child traffic has caused a general exodus of the padro ni and 'their little serfs. The Now York papers inform us that hundreds of these are leaving for the TYestern cities. With a light on Sand Island, (after the new light is completed be low Port Stevens), there need be no longer any reason why vessels, espec ially steamers, should remain outside on approaching the bar after night, and we are glad to hear that there is a prospect for erecting a light there, and also one on Scarooro hill, at an early day. The experiment of planting pine seed on the waste lands of Eastham, Massachusetts, is reported to be a complete success. A thousand acres of land are now covered with thrifty pines from seed sown. The land thus covered, but for this protection, would h'ave been a waste tract of shifting sand. As a consequence, too, game has increased, and quail, plover and other birds are plentiful, while foxes are by no means scarce. The river Clyde, in Scotland, on which Glasgow and its great ship yards are situated, has been made safely navigable almost entirely by artificial means. On a section of that jiver, nor more than thirty mileB in length, the trustees for the improve ment of the river Clyde have dur ing a few years past expended nearly thirty-six millions of dollars, and such has been its effect in fostering the business interests of Glasgow and its environs that the people thero filing the money has be?n well jKni The indies' Fair. Last evening closed the fair in this city given by the ladies for the benefit of the Catholic church. Taken as a' whole it has beenfne of the most-huccessfully managed affaire, the mobt pleasant in its social aspect, and "profitable in results, of any heretofore held in Astoria. All who have had'ahand in it have acquitted themselves with credit, especially Mrs. Arrigoni, under whose genial supervision the whole thing was conducted, assisted by Mrs. D. Graham, Mrs. "Woods, Mrs. A. S. Mer cer, MibsBelleTVelch, Miss Jennie Clerno, Mi?s Fannie and Emily Arrigoni, and others (volunteer?), including Mrs. C. H. TVoodard, Mrs. Fred. Currier, Miss Up ton. Miss Logan, etc., deserve the thanks of the managers for their method of doing business Tuesday evening. The hall was packed on this occasion, and together with the lotteries and "winning" ways of the ladies they prevailed upon nearly every one present to go their last dollar which was willingly done. Seven or eight prizes were won that evening. Miss Clerno took the first prize, an elegant tea set, and if re port is true something else, but-we prom ised to keep that out' of the papers, espec ially the Mountaineer ,-Mrs.'A'. J. Megler took a handsome silver castor ; Miss Mag gie Brown a fine picture "The Empty Sleeve" ; Miss Minnie Murphy silver cake basket; J. II. Dyson wax cross; Jimmy Callahan rug ; Capt. Bochau, Capt. Jack. One of Hallett, Davis & Co.'s pianos-of splendid tune, which arrived direct from the East through the agency of TV". Iv. f Badger, Portland, for Mrs. A. S. Mercer, was exhibited, aiid -greatly admired. "It will .speak move fully for itself at an ap proaching Concert. ' The culinary department of this fair was admirably conducted hy Harry Law&on, who, with his aid-de-camp, Peter Pox, served cakes and hot coffee of superior quality, to the hungry crowd, in hort order. ' "We have no means of telling the exact results of the fair but the1 amount raked is considerable. Mrs. Arrigoni tenders her thanks to all who have so generously aided her in the enterprise, .and she will ever recollect one and all with pleasure. But to that other fellow who stole the pearl card case from one of the tables Tuesday evening well ; let him settle that account in his hereafter. It' he will call upon Mrs. Arrigoni she" will refund him the four bits admission for the case. Just Hie Xoieli- A visitor to Tocoma writes the facts tbus succinctly: " The surrounding country has no agricultural interests nor is it capable of having them; and so the question constantly recurs, without receiving an answer: TVhere is the population of the city of Taco ma to come from, and what is to support ii? TVhat good reason is' there to expect that when the road is built and the cars are running between the Columbia river and Pugct Sound, Ta coma will be anything different from what Kalama has proved a mere hamlet with a population of labor ers, mechanics, merchants, hotel keepers and professional men in ex act proportion tcr the. business of run ning the railroad, ' its ' offices and shops, and accommodatin'g the travel. .fro one seemed to know the precise spot where the future city was to "be. Here and there I noticed, nailed to stumps and trees, shingles bearing notices "to let," the ordinary ground rent being at the rate of one dollar per month for each front foot The few hovels and shanties that are upon the ground bring the most extrava gant rents, for no other reason that I c6uld see than that it was that or nothing. I believe I did hear of one or more of these leases that were for sale with 'the tenants' business and good will. I could discover no source of business except what would grow out of the wants of those who came there to find it, or, like myself, to see wbat was going on." Capt. Spottsof the United States Navy, on a tour of inspection to the various light-houses, etc, on the north Pacific coast, left here for Portland last Monday. Capt. Spotts is a live and valuable officer, and we are -glad to hear that he is taking active part for the interests of the 'govern ment at this port, and will do all in his power to have placed at (he mouth of this river ail the necessary appliances for aiding commerce that the importance of the port demands. A man named John Smith was arested In Portland recently for at tempting to pass a forged check upon the First National Bank. This is Smith's second attempt in the same direction within a month. He is un- Questionably affnntp.il with "Gmo- tional insanity." Post Office Xotfce.
