SPECIAL TO THE ASTOBIAJf. Salem, Jan. 2L "Man resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the same;" aaid a poet of standard authority in whatsoever related to human failings, aud the proneness of the carnal mind to aspirations reaching far out and nabove its latent powers d fulfilment. Another claims that the broa'd and oasy highway to a climate too -warm for comfort, is paved with good inten tions. These, and kindred thoughts came to mind several times of late as TfiE Daidy Asiouian, the brightest &nd spiciest publication df 'its sfee in the state, coaesto hand day after day, bringing with it at least in imagina tion odors of the vasty deep, and recalling, -scraps of Longfellow, who shrove with poetic imagery to solve ;fce 'Secret of the ?Sea" and not even the poor return of a letter is -waiWd'b&ck: Ah! whakpleasant visions haunt me. As I gaze upon the sea ; j9J1 the old romantic legends, All my dreams, come back to nre. ''Sails of silk and ropes of sandal, Such as gleam in ancient lore; And the singing of the sailors. And the answer from the shore. '"Till-mysou! isHxili of longing. For the secret of the sea, And the heart of the great ocean eudffi thrilling pulse through mo." "Not long since, some one m speak ing of Astoria, called it "a curious little town;" an apt description, I thought, and to one who visits it in "the sweot summer time, is invested with a halo of romance that perhaps a smore intimate acquaintance would dispel. But, setting jside the-iSeal; you certainly have the practical, for a more enterprising, energetic style of preople can no where be found than in the little city where the Columbia seeks and finds an outlet, despite the ?8andsthat would bar its progress. Your correspondent had designed telling you somewhat of legislative matters, at the proper time; but it is -too late now, except to recall the musical changes that rang at the election of the Pilot Commission ers, as the joint convention sat -in dignified coirckvt. Nearly ninsty times were the "rhyming and chimin;" names sounded of ,sYan Dusen, Hob 'son, Robinson,' transposed and ut tered in as many different tones of -speakers; end is it not a little peculiar 5U:lt the new commissioner appointed in the place of the one resigned, iniiould also bear a name of not less musical ending than, the others? About that time we had the pleasure of meeting our old time friend Mr. A. "W. Eerguson, v.hom we had not seen for fifteen years, and whose host of friends welcomed him and his excellent wife to their old home here. Dr. and Jvtrs. S. W. Dodd, Mr. A Yan Dusen, f your city, and Mr. Morrison, of j j . - Clatsop, were among those visiting us, whom we felt honored to number among our acquaintances from the Seaside. Prosaic, matter of fact Salem, has been indulging in a romance, xr a part of one, which was quite a prolific theme for a time, the party being no less than a Prince of the royal blood, whom we entertained (far fromrovallv however), unawares. Last summer an Austrian and his wife negotiated for a piece of property here for the purpose of flowernlture. As time nassed on the payments were not made accord ing to stipulation, and inquiry on the part 'Of the owner elicited the fact that expected remittances had not ar rived. So favorable was the impres sion created by the stranger who passed as H. B. Myers, that means wore furnished by the owner of the place to defray his expenses east. Fail ing in accomplishing what lie expected in New York he went to Austria, and returning, almost immediately asked release from his contract, which was granted and the family left, Mr. Myers saying that he should be heard from in time. Soon after it became known that this same Myers had a history that -would supply material for a novel. About the year 1850 ayoung Austrian, for some political offense against the ruling powers, was con demned to death, but the sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life. For eight long weary years he suf fered the horrors of solitary confine ment in a duugeon, but during the re joicing that attended the birth of the Crown Prince he was 'released. at the iustance of powerful friends, but upon condition of leaving the country never to return. He came to America, was followed by lady of rank, and their marriage took place 'in New York under an as sumed name. Coming to California he engaged in gardening, which .proved a profitable business, but after some years he removed to Portland, thence to -this place as heretofore related. After leaving here he was remarried to his wife, under his true name of Prince Carl Johan Nadasky, and departed for California; from thence he started east, proposing to return to take pos session of his ancestral estates, and position among the royalty of Europe. I forgot to mention that during his visit to Austria, whither he 'went incognita, he gained an audience with the Emperor Prancis Joseph, through the influence of friends at court, and was granted permission to return. The Prince, Princess, and young heir, are doubtless now well on their way toward the royal home from which the heir has been so long ban ished. To make the story complete, this prince in disguise proved his true no bility of character by liberally reward ing those who had been kind to them in their obscurity, and doubly paid the physician who attended his wife during his absence. Many of our people recall his splendid physique and noble bearing, but so well did he keep his secret that 'no one 'knew of his noble birth, yet believed him to be far above his seeming position. The state capital is undergoing some improvements, and to begin with, those fearful outside stairs 'have been taken away, and the entrance is at me Dasement story. The man that 'built those stairs, and the committee who accepted them, should have been condemned to travel up and down them like two wandering jews, ever "seeking rest and finding none." The new windows on the west side make the building look less like a half-blind object than before. If we live long enough, we shall yet be proud of our "p;le of brick and mortar." Salem "makes haste slowly," in all matters socially, and in the line of business. The season has been very dull, the revivals in some of the churches, and two or three literary clubs, representing the life of the place. The chineso mission school, under charge of the Baptist denomination, is in a flourishing condition, and the pupils will give a concert next Sunday evening at the Baptist church. Prof. ICinross has two classes in j vocal music, which are largely attend- ed. TJie Prof. comes up from Port land twice a week to teach them, and proposes giving a grand concert at the close of the term. Chemexeta.
