Walker or 'Father" Walker. He, as per own record in giving his name to our Pio lieer and Historical society of Oregon, va3 born in West Yarmoth, Maine, August 11, 1805. Started for Oregon March 17, 1838; arrived August 29, 1838. He, with Rev. C. Eells estab lished the Spokane Mission at Tsbima kain, now Spokane county, W. T., fjarly in the spring of 1830, where he nnd associate Eells remained till the tuasacre of Dr. Whitman and the Americans that were spending the winder at his station in 1847. in the spring of 1848 he, with his family and the survivors of the missions of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions were brought to the allamet valley where he finally lo- cated at Forest Grove, and closed his labors on earth on the 21st of Novem r, 1877.

The Chamber of Commerce of As toria, have asked Senator Grover to come to Astoria before going hack to Wash ington, and have a talk over matters of public interest. - The executive board of the pioneer and historical society' will meet at 10 a. m.. to-day in the rooms" of the Masonic land and building association, over Van Dus.cn & Co.'s store. The carpenter's "brigade was -out yesterday in full forced-earning $3.00 per day at wood sawing.

Mr. Walter Storey, the eflicient fore man in Kinney's cannery, in the beef department will go below next week to iake charge of a salmon cannerv for Mr. Booth, on the Sacramento river. It is his intention to return next season and pack beef for Kinney's cannery after the salmon season on the Sacramento is finished. Funeral Notice. Mrs. E. Pnpmahl, whose sudden death is mourned br numerous friends and acquaintances of Astoria, will be buried to-day at 1:30 o'clock. The funeral will take place at the residence of the family, near the head of Sque mocqha street. We tender our sym pathies to the bereaved husband and family. SCIENCE AND INDUSTIi Y. The oyster grounds of the Atlantic const are undergoing scientific study, by a government expedition. Thirty thousand people aye engaged i in the oyster trade at Baltimore, and the Chesapeake oyster lieet includes 700 craft One manufactory of silverware in this country has the credit of working up more silver than all similar manu fatorics in the. united kingdom of Great Britain. A Minneapolis miller asserts that flour manufactured from the new crop of wheat will make 40 pounds more bread to the barrel than theilour from last year's wheat. It is estimated that 20,000 oil wells have thus far been dug in Pennsylva nia and West Virginia, at an aggre gate cost of S102.000.000. TIirv have yjeiaed about SS,000,000 barrels of oil, valued at the wells at 300,000,- 000, or $400,000,000 at the seaboard. The thermometer at the Vesuvius observatory recently indicated 70 deg. C, and Prof. Palmiert states that this degree of cold lias never been noted j before, even in January or Feb ruary, during the existence of that in stitution, now established twenty-five years. From the refuse matter left after distilling alcohol from grapes M. Car pene has succeeded in obtaining a red coloring liquid. This liquid dissolves readily 311 a weak solution of alcohol, and may .therefore be emplo3-jd in imparting a desirable hue to wine, in stead of .the poisonous substances at present employed for that purpose. An ingenious free trader in Eng land has figured it out that if the Uni ted States is enabled to supply her own wants in iron, it will be to Eng land's advantage. This is difficult to understand.

COD FISH. Some of the Products ?of the Cargo of the Pato. PROSPECTS OF FISHING NEAR AT HOME; i Jin Experiment Yorth a Trial at Least, Yesterday Capt. J. Slocum of the schooner Pato showed us some of the finest, freshest, nicest cod-fish that we have -ever seea an Oregon. This was a portion of die cargo of the Pato which Capt. S. has left for -sale at Warren & McGwire's m Astoria. The Pato is the first vessel to enter Oregon waters with cod-fish, but the sample shown to us proves that it will not be the last. He is very confident that he will succeed next season with a larger vessel. His present cargo, mention of which was made at the time of arrival, comes from the Okotsk sea, and con sisted of 53,000 fish, caught in six weeks time. It may .seem to some like sending coals to Newcastle, to bring cod-fish from such distant banks, away up in the north, when it is well known that tA Indians catch a fine article withinThirty miles of Astoria, oil Netarts, and as far south as Ya quina, butof one thing we are sure, these are s. better fish than any that come from tithe east. We wish Capt. Slocum would try the banks nearer home with the Pato, before embark ing upon the long voyage to the north. We believe the experiment is worth a trial. A Good Day's Work. From 4:30 o'clock a. m., to 3:30 p. x., the steam tug Astoria, Capt. Eric Johnson, and her tenders on the Col umbia river bar, the C. J. Prenham, Capt. A. D. Wass, and Columbia, Capt. Geo. Flavel, took nine Tessels to sea from Astoria. The Brenham took four,. the Blengfell, Broughton, In glewood, and Springfield. The Col umbia took three, llivcr Nith, Gari baldi, and Hazard; and the Astoria took two, Pizarro, and Earl Gran ville. All the vessels that have clear ed and are ready for ssa have now de parted, except tho3e reported else where, and not a single accident has occurred. We may remark in this connection that an accident has not occurred to a vessel on this bar, where a pilot was in charge, since the Asto ria took her position in her present capacity. The danger of adulterating kerosene oil with naptha or benzine is recogni zed abstractly bT most dealers in the article; but few know how little adul teration may make the kerosene unsafe. A report to the New Orleans board of health staies that when kerosene that would not flash below 113 deg. Fah. had one per cent, of benzine added to it, it flashed at 103 deg; with two per cent, at 82 deg; with five per cent at 63 deg; with ton per cent., at 59 deg. This means that a mixture of the lighter product of distillation, such as might not -seem of much significance to the manufacturer or dealer, will produce an oil that gives off an inflain able vapor in the ordinary heat of apartments an oil more dangerous to the consumer than a keg of ginxpow &er. Dora Darmoreof the Mission -Mirror, San Francisco, concludes .a let ter to her journal, descriptive of a flying trip to Roseburg, while on a recent visit to this state, as follews: "In conclusion. 1 can truthfully say that Oregon has more natural advan tages, and a combination of pictures que landscape superior to any state which I have ever seen. Her lofty; snow-capped mountains; her inex haustible forests; her green and fer tile valleys, traversed by such great and beautiful rivers as the Columbia and Wallamet, teem ing with fish; her moist and equable climate, and "fruitful soil, n.ake her one of the most desirable states in the union j in whic&tQotuake.A homeJL1. Poetry, AILX BECKONJXO. If we sit down at set of sun, And count the things that we have done, And counting, find One self-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him who heard. One glance most kind, That fell like sunshine where it went, Then we may count the day well spent But, if through all the livelong day We've cased the heart by a yea or nay; If through it all We've nothing done that we can trace, That brought the sunshine to a face; No act, most small, That helped some soul, and nothing cost, Then count that day as worse than lost TEE OBfeLISK.

This in the first whaler sent from that port. The wise men of New York, hav ing been furnished with photographs of the Colorado .stone man, pronounce the thing not only a humbug, but a very scupid one, such as could be at tempted only by persons ignorant of ihe conditions of success in planning a fraud. Captain Chisholm, agent for Liv erpool underwriters, who has been in Peru adjusting the losses to British vessels occasioned by tidal waves and earthquakes of the memorable 19fch of May, has returned to England via Panama. Tho aggregate loss to the insurance companies was about 70, 000. The Georgia Chronicle demands more conciliation. It says the south is "tired of all buzzard and no turkey. There nruut in future be 2. fair distri bution, orielse the thing must stop al together, and we will soon have, if -we have not iiow, the powcr to put on the brakes." The south Will not try secession the next time. There are other ways more effective ol obstruct ing the government Majo? Leader, a correspondent of the London Telegraph in Turkey, who has just died, had an adventurous ca reer. He sold out his British army commission and nerved in the French German war on the side of France; thence won a Major's shoulder-straps in the cause of Don Carlos. He was a handsome, dashing, sprightly soldier; a graphic, graceful writer, and a na tive of the emerald isle. T Dr. P. Beverly Cole boasts of the possession of an interesting relic in the shape of an onyx snuff-box, linediwitU gold, and bearing on the lid a wonderful mosaic, representing a min :atun landscape, three inches long and an irich and a half wide, and con sisting of 9000 pieces of stone. 7hey are small, and are put together so ar tistically that the general effect is that of a delicately finished picture in ivo ry. The box U said to have been presented by the empress Josephine to her surgeon, whose grandson in Paris, gave it to the present owner. Mr. A. J.
