We observe from our residence that the work of construct ing the buoy depot on Tongue Point for the Thirteenth Light-houbc district is rapidly assuming proportions. The work goes on very rapidly, which attests that it is in good hands. Custom House Sale. The collector of customs at Portland, Oregon, adver tises a stack of articles for sale on the third proximo, seized from the barks Alden.Be.sse, Edward James and For ward in May last, the Garibaldi in June, and the Ivinclune last month.

An at tempt was made last night to burg larize the store and safe of Yee Yune & Co. on Concomly street, by getting un der the building and boring away the flooring directly und r the safe. A Chi naman hearing a strange noise tinder the building, stepped out and blew the alarm, and the would-be thieves de camped, leaving their tools behind. They were supposed to be Chinamen. The Eat ata. -This handsome litt'c steam yacht, now the property oOIcr&r. Uadollet & Co., nt upper Astoria, is hauled up for repairs after a very suc cessful .season, and her machinery is being taken out and thoroughly over hauled. She will also receive a new boiler before she again takes the water.

Parties indebted will please make a note of this item and Mcndelsous advertise ment. 'Home fhom the YVai:." A detach ment of troops from the forts in this vi cinity, who were sent to the front to cope with the hostile Xez Percys, returned to their garrison yesterday but alas, too many of those brave boys who joined the rank and file in the beginning were left on the field in their graves. The tew who return .speak in terms of praise of their noble commander. "Well and Handsomely Done. The Jlecord thus alludes to manager John Jack's bill and bulletins going up in Salem : Mr. W. II. Taff. the thorough going, energetic bill poster, of the Capi tal city, is, with his assistants, engaged in putting up the fine posters announ cing John Jack's great company at the Opera House, fair week. The bills are gorgeous and tell of the rich feast in store for those who visit that star place of amusement carnival week.' Col. Milleh. From all sources we hear the most excellent reports concern ing Col. MHIer in the campaign against Joseph and his band of hostile savages. Col. Miller won distinction in his ser vices in the Modoc war also, and we are informed that Gen. Howard is credited with baying that if he could he should have given Col. Miller command in Idaho and Montana. We presume that nothing but red tape stands in the way of placing Col. Miller at the topmost round as a brave commanding general. The Bkig Ska Waif. This little vessel owned in Astoria by Mr. G. W. Hume, is entitled to the palm. She has won the laurels for rapid work. Leav ing Astoria at 8 o'clock last Sunday morning she arrived at Gardner on Mon day, and had all her passengers and freight discharged, for Mr. II nine's can nery, and was again at her berth at the dock in Astoria on Thursday evening, ready to load yesterday for another voy age, "if any clipper ship can .show'a better record than that for sailing, we should be pleased to hear of it. WALLAMET Tit ANSPOHTATIOX. The S. T. Church is a handsome steamer, be longing to the Peoples Protective Trans portation company; DocMcCully is the purser. The new lighter .spoken of sev eral days since as being built by U. B. Scott & Co. for ''toting' wheat over shoal water on the Wallamet was taken up to Wheatland Inst Sunday and loaded with 1800 bushels of the cereal. The City of Salem, with 1400 sacks on board, then took the barge in tow and started for the metropolis where they arrived safely, fully demonstrating that "some things can be done as well as others.' Baptist Sunday School Concent. It having been announced that there would be a rehearsal of the Baptist Sunday school to-day at three o'clock in the new church, at the request of Kev. Mr. Burchett we give notice that the time has been changed to 12 o'clock, noon, to-morrow, as the workmen in the church will not be ready to give it up at the appointed hour. The concert will be given in the new church to-morrow evening at half-past seven o'clock. All are invited to attend. All the pupils and teachers are requested to be present at the rehearsal, at 12 o'clock, noon. Xoctuhxal Visit. Mr. Woodward of this city who has established a board? ing house on Tongue point for the ac commodation of the hands employed upon the buoy depot, reports a visit night before last at his camp from two very large sized cougars. The wild couple probably wanted to find out what was going on in their favorite haunts, where they have so long been accus tomed to going down to the waters edge for a meal of salmon, sturgeon, sea lion, or seal. Alas for these carniverous quadrupeds of our forests, they are, like the man who has lost his grip, fast play ing out Out of Office. The Mullett who planned the Astoria Custom-house is ot t of office now, and surrendering his re publicanism, as a democratic paper puts it, "in liis anxiety to put a mansard roof on the Hayes administration.' has of fered his services to the democratic state central committee as a stump speaker in the present canvas in Ohio. It is needless to say his magnanimous offer was refused. Democrats, as well as republicans, are beginning to see that proselytes of the stamp of this fellow are only a curse to the party that accepts of their services.

IE you cannot on the ocean Sail janiong the swiftest fleet, Hocking on the mighty billows, Laughing at the storms you meet ; You can stand among the sailors Anchored yet within the bay, You can lend a hand to help them As they launch their boat away. If you are too .weak to journey Up the mountain, steep and high, You can stand within the valley As the multitudes go by ; You can chant in happy measures As they slowly pass along ; Tho' they may forget the singer, They will not forget the song. If you cannot in the conflict Prove yourself a warrior tme, If, where fire and smoke are thickest, There's no work for you to do ; "Where the battle-field is silent, You can go with gentle tread, You can bear away the wounded, You can cover up the dead. If you cannot in the harvest Gamer up the richest sheaves ; Many a grain, both ripe and golden, Which the careless reaper leaves, You can glean among the briars Growing rank against the wall ; And it may be that the shadows Hide the heaviest wheat of all. If you have not gold or silver Ever ready at command ; If you cannot toward the needy ltcach an ever open hand, You can visit the afflicted, O'er the erring you can weep ; You can be a tme disciple, Sitting at the Saviour's feet. Do not, then, stand idly waiting For some nobler work to do, For your heavenly father's glory, Ever earnest, ever true ; Go and toil in any vineyard, Work in patience and in prayer ; If you want a field of labor. You can find it anywhere. II. S. WORSI.KV, A Smashing Jeiit. A few days ago the driver of the St. Charles coach, Port land ran his team upon a celestial knock ing him senseless. He compromised by paying the doctors bill. Last Wednes day he collided with an express wagon, anil knocked it into smithereens. Geo. Coggan, when informed of the accident, volunteered to pay the cost of repairs. At the time of the collision, the smaller vehicle was occupied by three or four men. all of whom were thrown out, and two of the party slightly injured. The driver was not to blame, surely it must be tiiat he is suffering from the conta gion of accidents which lately visited Abtoria. The "Meek-Eyed Celestial. It is just as natural for a Chinaman to steal as it is for a sponge to absorb water. The Bee tells us that for nearly a year past Charlie Kaiser of the Wallamet view park, has been missing articles from his place the aggregate amounting to con siderable. During this time he has had a moon-eyed celestial working for him, with a countenance as innocent as a new-born babe. Charlie, however, sus picioned he was not as innocent as he appeared, and therefore watched him. lie was detected in stealing two garden hoes, a nitchfork and a dozen grain sacks, which he disposed of to parties in this city, and Ah Jim has been arrested and phiced in durance vile, and the sto len articles have in most cases been re covered. Machine Mailing. We have just added to and placed in working order in the Astorian office, a machine for mailing the papers after they are print ed. This will enable the mailing clerk to get the papers all into the mails fol lowing the hour of publication, and it will also prevent any mistakes from oc curring. The name of each subscriber is placed in type under the proper Post ofhee heading, and the machinery is so constructed that every name must be printed as it runs through the machine, and as every Post-oihWis announced by the tap of a bell as the type pass along it is almost next to an impossibility to make an error; but should our papers fail to reach any office promptly when due, we shall consider it a personal fa vor to be informed of it immediately so that we mav find where the fault may be.

The governor of that state will be called upon to appoint a suc cessor, as the legislature will not meet for a year to come. It is rumored that governor Phelps will resign in order to secure the place for himself, on. ap pointment by the lieutenant governor. The political complexion of the senate will not be changed in either event. Senator Bogy's term would have ex pired in 1879 if he had lived. He was one of the most enterprising and enthusiastic men of his state, and it will be difficult to fill his place af home. Express Roh"hery. There is no further news of the ex press robbers. Of the money stolen, S40,000 was consigned to "Wells, Fargo tvjCo. New Jork, and 820,000 to the New Yoik National Bank of Com merce. The money stolen from the passengers aggregated nearly 2,000. Yellow Pevor. A sailor died of yellow fever on board a schooner in Portland, Maine, on the 20th. Fifteen l ew cases and seven deaths are reported from Jack sonville, Florida, and a number of cases at Fernandina. Kentucky Fends. The Maupin-Breman feud in Madi son county, Kentucky, broke out afresh in Kingston on the 20th. Four of the vandetta were killed. LOCAL AND DOMESTIC. Gen. Sherman is expected to arrive in Portland to-day. The taxable property of Mult nomah county is 10,029,905. The sheriff of Humboldt coun ty, California, arrived in Oregon by the Orizaba, in search of some thieves who stole horses in that county a few months ago. The suspected men are said to be with Howard, fighting the hostiles. Should this be true, Mr. sheriff will have a very exciting and and inter esting pursuit. The Jacksonville Times ex plains the object of Gov. Chad wick's visit to southern Oregon. Several years ago, there was loca ted in southern Oregon, under what is commonly called the five hundred thousand acre grant, thou sands of acres of land, which are of no value to the state, lying as they do, in many cases, on exten sive beds of rock and on barren mountains. In his recent visit to Lake county, Governor Chadwick had it in view to ascertain, by per sonal observation, the nature of the objection to these selections, with the intention of presenting them to the proper authorities, in order to obtain in lieu of these worthless tracts other selections, lands available for purposes of ag riculture and valuable for their timber. AVe sincerely hope the Governor may be successful in carrying out his object. FirTE-:x 3Iir.Es of Birds.
