O-) r' T !& S&ila sijcrcimx, ASTORIA. OREGON: D. C. IREIiAXR Editor. "WEDNESDAY Nov. 7, 1S77 There are not enough Co aiding newspapers in New York to encourage a first-class case of blues, but such newspapers as there are have just got all the blues that their limited charac ter will allow. The coming winter in Yrashington promises to be one of the liveliest, if not the most brilliant for many jTears. House rent has gone up to the highest figures and the best classes of houses are in demand. It don't look like hard times in the nation's capital. It is said that Raphael Sennues, when dying, for a short time imag ined that he stood upon the deck of a shin nrenarinjr ior battie. lie save A J. J. tr- victory. He recovered consciousness, however, before the last moment ar rived. Germany is following England in the matter of underground telegraph fjuick and positive commands, talked i vailing among the poorer classes, held apparently with his officers, and j a meeting Saturday, and issued an ad seemed elated with anticipation of j dress to the public stilting that the sub wires.

An ingenious steam machine has been invented, which i digs the trenches, lays the wire, and j afterwards covers the excavation. j Stand by your friends says a co tempoary, let come what may, is a good motto. If you don't stand by them you need n't expect them to stand by you. So whether they be friends of high or low degree, in affluence or poverty, stick to them and don't stop to enquire whether it will ray or whether it will be popular. "When ever you prove traitor and desert those who have stood up for and helped your battle, you will find yourself without any one to congratulate j'ou upon your achievement or comfort you in an evil hour when misfortunes come thick and fast. The portraits of some of the most famous Americans are to be put upon the new stamps for lager beer kegs. The stamps for the eighth of a barrel is blue with the vignette of Washing ton as a center piece; the sixth of a barrel, brown with a vignette of Thomas Corwin; one-fourth barrel, green with vignette of Thomas H. Benton; one-third barrel, purple with a vignette of General George H. Thomas; one-half barrel, buff with vignette of Jefferson; barrel, pink, with vignette of ex-President Johnson; hogshead, black with vignette of Silas G. Wrihrt. De Sousa Cabral, of South Ameri- ca, is beyond doubt the richest man in the world, if the half told of his pos sessions are true. Recently lie him self estimated the value of his property, consisting of diamond mines, gold mines, real estate, etc. , at fifty billions of dollars. This would enable him to pay our national debt, estimated at two billion and a quarter, twenty times over, and still liave a fortune equal to the Rothchilds. He is owner of nine of the richest diamond mines in South America, from which he derives an I annual income of twenty millions of dollars. His interest in gold mines yield as much more. His diamond interests in South Africa and Siberia . he estimated in Court at fifty millions. in ail parts ot the world. e lately i wwlrl t-n l..n.l,f ' "Wii"' "- 4,luv"- daughter, MaUa, to m'lulcu " my unuguier.iuai . js .-"u, vCui -mum JLiirocKmorton, who lias been engaged for several years in railroading in South America, witli head quarters at Kio Janeiro. The marriage took place at the house of the bride's father, a little over a mile from Diamandcina, the tliief town in the diamond region. SJNewspaper advertising compels 5-quiry, and when the nrticlo offered is of ood qualitj; ana at a fair price, the natu uCtrcfcult is increased sale. NEWS OF THE MORNING. The house has passed Bland's bill for the recoinage of silver. The New York Tribune says one reason for the decline apparent is the report just printed by the San Fran . . , , bullion product -p ' 's of the iracmc cisco "Bulletin on the or the principle miner coast durincr the last nine months. The Australian mail from Sydney Sept. 2 1st. via Sart Francisco and New York, arrived in London Nov. 2d, making the distance in 42 days, against a run in 5G daj-s by the Pen insula and Oriental steamship line. A Toronto dispatch of the 5th says: "David Smith, the Castleton abortionist, has been sentenced to be hanged on the 19th of Dec. for the murder of Miss Wade. The alleged accomplices, Mallory and Wilton, are held for the next assize." The San Francisco relief commit tee recently appointed to consider means for relieving the distress pre- committees were ready to commence a canvass of the city for funds, and ask ing a liberal response from all citizens. Several disasters to lake ship ping .are reported in Chicago. The It is reported that a concession from the Mexican government has Deen secUred for the building of a railroad from the City of Mexico to Curnavoca, 40 miles, through a rich j region of country. Americans need j not take much stock in the enterprise anticipating quick return of profits. Mexico is not the place for Yankees yet awhile. News from the City of Mexico tells of a gang of Mexicans imlling down the American flag at Eagle Pass, and running up the Mexican flag. Matamonis has "pronounced" against Diaz. The Mexican congress is cut ting down the tarilfs of Mexico and Vera Cruz railway, and declares the government is empowered to abrogate concessions to and annul all contracts with railways. A fine outlook surely for Americans to invest in Mexico. Constantinople dispatches of the 5th, report on the authority of Rus sian prisoners that General Gourko was wounded during a recent fight, and has since died. Recent successes has renewed the war agitation in Bul garia. Russian reports indicate con tinued success on the Plevna and Or chanie and Lovatz roads. Terliren and Turskire have been occupied, and the infantry and cavalry detachments have penetrated Yaledantz pass in pur suit of the retreating Turks. A Turk ish force numbering 3,000 or 4,000 men from the south of the Balkans attacked the Russian force at Mahi- mar south of Elena. After four hours fighting the Turks retreated, leaving 100 dead and 400 wounded. H. L. Knight, Win. Kennedy, Thomas Bates, John C. Davis, and others, accused of incendiary acts in San Francisco, arc held in jail to await the action of the courts, lles olutions have been prepared and would probably be introduced in the board of supervisors monday after - noon calling for prompt and efficient j action on the part of the police and legal authorities to put down the spirit of lawlessness recently exhibited and punish those engaged in inciting un lawful acts. ,A supplementary ordi nance lias also "been drawn up deSning more clearly than heretofore what may .be considered misdemeanors and ! crimes on the part of those who ad - 1wBQ TOlWlp -nil:mcp.

It is proba ble that in default of procuring bail an attempt will be made to obtain the liberation of Kearney and other agita tors on writs of habeas corpus.

If you have a friend or a relative in that section of this country, tend him the pa per on trial. Only one dollar for four months. f jw-i j.agtyyyw?t'jsgi?aaagi Them's ouir SfexftttESis.

A moment's calm reflection, on the subject, will materially change the notions of some people, we think. LSTTJJR LIST.
