ing in the city yesterday. Recently
he was very badly hurt by a logrolling

team of cattle and the teamster did
not dare to stop the team, but pnlled
the log over Mr. Grays leg. Strange
to say not a bone "was broken.

Was t Crascy-
He took a seat in our largo arm
chair, rested his face in his hands, and
plaintively inquired for Doc. Hicks.
We pointed the way, wiien ne ecrue
the attitude of a disciple or anaKes
peare, thanked us for our kindness,
and belched forth after Hamlet in the
following style:
To hare it oat or not, that is the qnestioa.
Whether-tis better for the jaw to suffer
Thepanss and torments of an "hinc too.n
Or to take steel aBainsthost of troublei.
And, by extracting. endnhem? To pull, to tne
No more; and by a tuco say we end
The toothache, and a thousand natural tHa
The jaw is bir to-'tii consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To pull-to tiiR
To tuB. perchance to broak-ay.e. there 8 the rub.
For in that wrench what agonies ;";
When we have half dislosed the stubborn foe.
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That make an aching tooth of so lone a life ,
For who would bear the whips and stings of pains
The old wife's nostrums, dentist s contumely
The panes of hone deferred, kind sleep delayed,
While ho himself misht his quetusroake
For one poor dollar? Who would fardels bear.
To proan and sink beneath a load of pain.
But Uiat the dread of something lodged within,
Tne linen and twisted forceps from whoso fangs
No jaws at ease returns, puzzles the will.
Andmakesitrath.r bear the ills it has t

Thusdcntists do make cowards of us a, (
And thus the native hue of resolution.
Is s.ckkd o'er with the pale castor fear; ,
And many a one whose courago seeks tho-ttcor
With this regard, her footsteps turn away,
Scared at the nameof dentist.
When he found out that Hicksdone
the job so nicely he cauie back and
wanted to pay for a pufD'for the artist.
He wasn't crazy; he only had the
tooth-ache a thing which he will know
here no more forever. So mote it be.
Ientcs the Soft Impeachment.
Purser Y. T. Stephens, of the upper
Columbia, returned to Oregon by the
last steamship, and he denies the soft
impeachment charging him with hav
ing committed matrimony during his
absence. It looked a little suspicious,
to say the least, Steve, to see your
name telegraphed up in the connec
tion in which it appeared in 3Ihe As
torian the morning following the de
parture of the steamship from San
Francisce: "W. T. Stephens and
wife." Of course nobody here could
but suppose that to be the fact. It is
well understood that wou are deserv
ing of all the blessings of this life, and
nothing would please your friends
better than 'to extend their hearty
congratulations. Time, the great re
vealer of all things, will eventually set
this matter at rest, and if you are de
ceiving U3 we have charity to believe
that your motives are prompted by a
sense of duty to yourself.

The grand jury impanneled if or the

sist of J. C. Trullinger, foreman, P.
Matteson, B. A. Seaborg, B. H.
Welch, A. J. Megler, J. H. DeForce
and Ira. A. Young. The jury return
ed one true bill of indictment yester
day. John Badollet and J. 0. Bo
zorth were sworn as bailiffs.
The city is -at present enlivened
by the presence of a large number of
citizens of the county whoBe faces are
seldom met with upon our streets.
They are mostly called hither in conse
quence of the sitting of the Circuit
court, in various capacities, as jurors,
witnesses, litigants, etc. We shall be
happy to receive the calls of friends cfc
The Astoria office.
We are informed from reliable
sources that there are yet thousands
of cases of salmon in the hands of
agents which -cannot be disposed of
at any price. This is certainly an
indication of another dull season in
the cannery line. We regret it; but,
regret it as much as one likes, the
stern readily appears that something
besides fish must be canned to make
this a profitable business in the future.
j?An advertisement in a newspr

other foolish imitations, 'fiie paper is

A new pope always selects the
name by which 'he is to be called.
The present pope, on -being asked
for his choice, asked the name of
the patron saint of 'the day. On
being told it was that of St. Leo,
he replied: "Then announce ine as
Leo xni."
What we LiiwE. To hear a man try
to borrow his neighbors paper. And the
neighbor have courage enough to reply :
"1 would as soon lone you my tooth
brush ;" to have a party imagine that
the can do as much business without ad-
"vertising as he can with it; to look at
the blank astonishment that settles
flown on that man's face when, after
trying a month, he finds that it cannot
be done ; to see a man refuse to take his
local paper and all the time sponge on his
neighbor for the use of his ; to hear a
man comulain when we ask him to sub
scribe for his home paper, that he takes
more papers now than he can read, and
then go around and borrow his neigh
bor's or loaf about him until hegets the
news from it: to see a man run down
his homepaper as not worth taking, and
every now and then beg the editor for a
favor in the editorial line; to see a man
refustrto advertise in a home paper,
and then try and get a share of trade
that the paper is instrumental in bring
ing to his uoor;to see a man who is able,
to pay for his local paper, always man
age to be around in time to read it at the
expense of a friend not worth the tenth
part o- what he himself is, it looks so
economical, thrifty, and progressive,
you know.
9tcGoods speak for themselves,"
hut it Ls only after."they are bought that
they can do so. An object in advertis
ing is to induce people to buy them and
test them. If goods speak for them
selves, a good advertisement may also
speak for the goods.
jJSWhy are advertisers able to sell
at the lowest prices? Isiti.ot because
they obtain 'the largest custom, by the
most reasonable expenditure, and are
really able to buy lower than their neigh
bors. Many people imagine that the ef
fect of advertising is only to enable a
merchant to sell. The re-activn effect
on his power to buy well is often lost
sight of.
jESA newspapar is a window
through which men look -out upon the
world. Without a newspaper a man is
shut up in a small room, and knows lit
tle or nothing of what is happening out
side of himself, fin oar day the news
book, forever issuing anu never finished.
9"Therc is a quiet courtesy and
modest imobtnisiveness about a wise
advertisement that crente a certain res
ponsive feeling of sympathy in the
reader. We ail like to be solicited, and
it is natural to suppose that he who
most politely, clearly and persistently
solicits ns, stands the better chance for
our trade. The familiar advertisements
of local papers often cover these points.
