r saaaasam iv-t 4 & ft ;;& niXaj sftrciaak ASTORIA, OEEGON: D. C. IRELAND Editor. TUESDAY Seit. 30, 1S77 3Temor!al to Congress. We print the following memorial of the X. P. R. Ik Co. not "because ive ' indorse it, but for the "benefit of our readers: To the Congress of the United Slates : The undersigned, inhabitants of the state of Oregon and of "Washington territory, respectfully represent, that there is great and increasing need of direct railroad communication between these countries bordering on the liorth ivest coast, and the interior and east ern states; intercommunication being now imiossibie, except by a sea voy age of not less than five hundred miles to or from Sjui Francisco, or be long, costly and tedious s&tge commu nication with the Central .Pacific rail road; the expense and difficulty of transportation being such as to seri ously retard the rapid growth of the country, and to deter settlement upon what would otherwise le the most attractive agricultural and timber re gions to be found any where, between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The people of this state and territory have relied upon the completion of the Northern Pacific railroad, to afford them this direct communication with the east, which is so iii!Mrcant to tiheir locality, and which they W.icve would be equally advantageous to their eastern neighbors. Then Ucreftre res- pcelfnUy pray, thai the pr'i:Um of the Northern, Pacijic raUrowt oomytuy, for an f.deiihinn of Iuaa unlcr ii ewner, to suable it io compete it rait road, iti'iji be granie'lj and Vial Congress rciU, in ttex manner, or in xuclt nwJiied form m may be teen io it bed and mid effi cient, encourage and c.isare tne early completion of thi yreai nallonal h'jt iv&mj, and relieve hs from Otir cxUHtig isolation. Sclmonlco as a Poei. and that there were one or two other slips of the pen in the translation. "What shall I do!" exclaimed the Cuban in despair. "I must have it correctly translated." "Well, let us try," said Mr. Del monico, with his usual readiness to oblige his friends, and seating himself at his desk, he wrote off-hand: Sleep, my blue dove, sleep anil forget The troui)ie or tins worm. More watchful stand I here by you Than ahwc does by his lord. The breeze alone can kiss you now, While it vour f ragrance sips. But when you v.ke. they sluiU be mine, Those kisses of our lips. The Cuban was delighted, and has been at Fort Washington ever s:nce. Ixotes and Comments. It ie not generally known that the Delmonico family, besides being thor ough business men, are excellent scholars. One of its members seems to ijssess a genuine poetical talent, :is the story below unquestionably shows. A few months ago a Cuban gen lie- man arrived in this city. He was highly recommended to Messrs. Del monien, who exhibited toward him all the hospitality and courtesy they arc so famous for. After a short resi dence here the sou of the Pearl of the Antilles had, in clue course, fallen in love with one of I ew York's irresisti ble girls. The other day it was at Forfc Washington the lady, tired by the heat and the not very intelligible English of her sweetheart, fell asleep in her hammock. The Cuban sat hy, watching her sleep for some time, and then took out his note book and composed the following impassioned stanzas: Dnerme. paloma nzul, dwnnc iranquila, 7uno5prisindi al munde: Que el ;u' to auioto valy y tc comcmpla " Con j'uvilo profundo. Solo la brsza en lu apuciblc sueno A.I reverse y ie khsi : . Mas cuamlo tu despU'rlcs, seron mios Los lebib ck tu boca. The lady on waking up and reading the ixeiry, declared that she could not understand a word of it, and wanted a translation. The Cuban went home, took Maivmo Velazquez de Cadena's dictionary, and, after a whole night's work, interpreted his effusion in this way: Sleep, blue pivn, sloop quietly, - Despriviatiug the world. Tour love is watchhrjand lookingyou With hnme&e emotion. Only the brie is allowed be it your f.ue and touch it, lint wnen vmi wakv Mine will be the kiss of your mouth. The enamored poet was, luckily for him, not so careless as to hand this translation to his lady love without re United States Senator McDonald expresses the opinion that the rail roads have outgrown the narrow limits of the State authority which created them, and that the national Govern ment will have to protect them, pre cisely as it does commerce on lakes and rivers. The Mayor of Philadelphia has ordered the closing of all bar-rooms in that city on Sunday, and a committee of temperance men have undertaken to see that the order is obeyed. They have employed detectives to make lists of men who drink in the bar-rooms on Sunday, and the most reputable wll be summoned. Xo Nation can beat the Germans i i the number of their anniversary and memorial celebrations. They now propose to have a great fete in Ham burg on the 2d" January, 1S7S, the 200th anniversary of the first represen tation of an original German opera. A feature of the celebration is to be the performance of this same first Ger man opera, which bears the title o "Man, Created, Fallen, and Again Raised Up." The Telegram says the Astorian slightly errs in placing Senator David Davis in Paris and killing him oft' with a cancer in the stomach. There is no truth in the report. Senator Davis is at home quite well, and can't :iscer fcahi now such a report could have can henceforth control, to a large ex tent, the grain markets of Europe. The World says Russia has been our only competitor in this trade. Under the most favorable circumstances for Russia as has been so clearly demon strated in the report sent by the Odessa committee on trade and manufactures to the council of trade manufactures at St. Petersburg the United States has had the advantage of that great cereal producing country. Our ma chinery, railroad system and. elevatois have enabled us to place our grain on shipboard fifteen per cent less than could be done in the ports of Pvussi:. The gigantic war in which that nation is now engaged will cerUinly lessen those advantages. Wiuh such an out look it is not too much to assert that with reasonable efforts ou our port we can control the English, French and Italian markets. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. CANDY FACTORY.

Dom Pedro and the Empress have been visiting Switzerland. In Zurich the Emperor was up by daybreak and wandering about the streets, while half the population was yet asleep. On July 29 he mounted the Iligi with the Empress. July 30 he rode from Highi to Vitznau, and while crossing the valley, stood by the engineer on the locomotive to get a better view.
