Mrs. Derby had added now at
tractions to her millinery stock, and
a beautiful dressed model appears in
the front .window.
The Centaur arrived from above
Jat evening in tow of the Shoofiy,
nearly ready for sea. She is partly
laden with wheat.
The Episcopal church has been
greatly benefitted by the addition of
a front window, giving light and ven
tilation to the gallery.
The barkentine Portland, Capt.
Gage, Simpson's Oregon I'acket line,
left yesterday for Portland in tow
of the steam tug J. C Prenham, pilot
Oilman on deck.
Persons on board theAVave Queen
may lower a hook through the main
hatch anytime, on the voyage to
Iviirope, and draw,out a salmon, ready
cooked for lunch or breakfast.
The "Willamette river at Port'
land, on the 1st inst., was only
an inch and a half lower than it was
fourteen years ago that date, eighteen
days later than which Portland saw
the highest water ever known there.
The British ship Wave Queen
arrived at Astoria yesterday partly
laden with flour and fish for Liver
pool. She was brought from Brook
field by pilot lieed, in tow of the
steam tug Astoria, drawing eighteen
feet. When fully laden at Astoria
for sea her draft will be nineteen
feet.
Besides four hundred tons of flour
shipped by Kinney cC Co., the Wave
Queen has on board for Liverpool
direct, 13,000 cases salmon from Bay
View and Brookfield. She will take
on 140 tons more at Kinney's Astoria
factory this week, and will then be
readv for sea.
The electon is nearly through
with, and we feel a great relief es
pecially as we wear a new pair of
nice easy fitting oxford ties, made by
Cone, which will place us square on
our feet again, after the tussel the
politicians have given us, keeping us
up day and night for nearly three
weeks.
A man in Coos county has ap
plied for a patent on a late discovery.
It is Said that he has invented a pro
cess by which it is possible under
ordinary circumstances to so conduct
a campaign as to confine the discus
sions to those issues in which the
people are directly interested, and to
avoid anything calculated to smirch
the character, or lower the social
standing of the candidates. It is so
simple and so easy that it seems real
ly wonderful that nobody ever
thought of it before. All the candi
dates have to do is to stand on their
heads, and walk off on the left ear

Tho Chinese feeling is making
havoc in a quiet way among Chinese
laundries, and laundries" owned by
white men, who employ Chinese
and all Chinese laundries have lost
more than half their custom, their
patrons being fearful of smallpox.
At a meeting of the 11th ward
Anti-Coolie Club, last night, a letter
from Seuator Sargent was read, the
point of which was that the recent
incendiary talk, threats of violence
toward the- Chinese, is doing more
than anything else to forfeit the sup
port of the Eastern people, and he
urged the clubs to be harmonious as
doves, as the only way to accomplish
anything.
Somebody got his dander way up

Oregon is a long way ahead of
any other State in the display of cere
als at the centennial. Oregon iron
is exhibited as a product of Califor

the bar. The bar was as smooth as a
mill pond.

The Dentists of Ireland are in
dignant at a doctor who advertises in
the newspapers. The ancient eti
quette of the medical profession is to
starve rather than pubish one's busi
ness in the same column with an
nouncements of dry goods and gro
ceries. One Portland paper says the
Wave Queen has gone to sea ; an
other says the Thorndike will not
sail soon, because of delays in con
nection with suits in court What

paper in the State th-at gives correct
data with reference to Oregon's com

posing candidates for sheriff in -Benton
county made the canvass rather
too tropical for that latitude and af

week or two, wrote and signed a card,
which was published, denouncing
their course, each toward the other,
as ungentlemanly. One of the twain
will be elected.
