K Strong did not get away from the city yesterday. He is still here looking after the interests of his clients. Sheriff Twilight will leave for .Salem to-morrow with the prisoners sentenced at the January term of the Circuit court. . . The Barometer and the moon "do ?iot seem to agree. The first indicates "fair weather to-dsfy, and the latter bad. We believe it would be 'the wafest to bet on the baromotcr. Cannervmen and business men in general will do well to examine Adler's new stock of Blank-bool:s and Stationery which he bought m the East and offers at les3 than Portland prices. We were mistaken in reporting the Hannah Landles sailed. !No ves sel has passed out since tho Garibaldi, on the 30th. The bar was very rough, breaking badly, all day yesterday, and strange to say there was comparatively no wind outside. The cause must be remote. The Bee truly says that the cigarette-smoking "business" is spoiling the chances of our' rising generation cver amounting to much, either men ially or physically. This form of smoking is becoming general, and should be condemned by every pa rent and guardian in the state. The so-called editor of the Orego tiian will find himself badly mistaken, for once, in his crusde against what he terms "the so-called Farmer." The Willamette Farmer is taken and ac cepted as a valuable journal by the people. Too valuable to be indecently smirched by scavengers like Scott. The Gem is now a Gem in reality since those artists Pike and Stockton have devoted their attention to the inside decoration. The combination -of paint, kalsomiming, and paper has a charming effect, and the Gem is to-day one of the tastiest rooms in As toria, We wish the gonial proprietor success financially, as ho is a success at pleasing Ins patrons. The case of the state of Oregon against a pretended agent of the San Francisco Chronicle, was investigated by the grand jury, but inasmuch as there is always a moral stench arising in a community where such cases sre tried, the jury very properly .recom mended that the culprit be discharged f irora custody. He has taken his de- j fpartnre for "greener" fields .than -Astoria. J Circuit Court Expenses. An interior exchange says: "The term of the state Circuit court at Port land, which adjourned last Saturday, after being in session 82 days, cost Multnomah county the round sum of $16,440 'o2." In this connection the press should not overlook the extra ordinary number and magnitude of crimes and causes. Without referring to the records, if our memory serves us correctly, five if not six criminals were tried for the highest crimes and mis demeanors known in the land, and by ruling as did Judge Bellinger at that term, thousands of dollars wore saved to the tax-paying, law-abiding people. We believe that his views are correct, and will be fully endorsed by the people, wherein he has refused to allow the state to pay for defending the midnight assassin and murderer. We are not among that class of people who beKevo that the ends of justice are attained by appointing counsel at the expense of the people to save from the galluws or the penitentiary men who arc known to be murderers aud thieves. In Judge Bellinger, and Hon. J. F. Caples, we recognise the right men in the right places. An Unjust IHscriiuinatioB. We are greatly astonished that San Francisco has such narrow-minded supervisors as to attempt to pass an order prohibiting the distribution of circulars and advertisements in the streets. Such an act would deprive a large number of printers of employ ment. This kind of printing is witlrn the reach of persons doing a smal business and boys, many of whom de pend upon it. It does -rot compete with the newspaper, is intended mainly to reach the traveler who visits the city, and who fras no time to read the newspapers, and frequently the article thus advertised is something new, of the existence of which people are ignorant. Jf the streets were entirely free from everything offensive to the eye, the taste and the smell, the objec tion would be 3, more serious one. It is not possible to carry on any business without in some slight degree offending the susceptibilities of people of very sensitive natures. Even the transit of merchandise across the sidewalk is at times annoying and inconvenient to pedestrians yet should not therefore be prohibited; and the business has been carried on for many years, without serious inconvenience to any one. An Extraordinary Event. A very remarkable event has just occurred in St. Louis, which goes to prove how rapidly old predjudiccs are giving way to modern liberal senti ment. It is related by the Globe Democrat of St. Louis, that the Shaa-e Emeth Jewish congregation invited the Second Baptist church to hold services in their synagogue. The in vitation was accepted, and the exer cises were held afternoon and evening, and forrtte first time in the history of the world, it is slated, the Lord's Supper was celebrated in a synagogue. Mr. Boyd, pastor of the Second church, occupied the pulpit, and both Jews and Christians attended the service?. Court Proceedings. Circuit Court Bellinger. J. Fourth Day, Jau.31,lS79.

Court adjournedme die. It is feared that the late cold snap has caused another stoppage in steam boat travel between Tho Dalles and Portland. A vescel which was in company with tho Melancthon, outside ten days ago, but was driven north, had not get back to the bar yesterday. A gang of bunco -sharps having head-quarters in Portland are making some lively steals. In 8pite of warn ings people "innocently" walk into their parlors -and get squeezed. Tlie Boulder 93cHe.

That the venerable Peter Cooler retains his mental faculties .unimpair ed is illustrated in tne fact that he has originated an idea which seems never before to have been suggested by anv of the party leaders who always make loud professions of reform. A dinner was given by the Lotus club of New York, on the llth instant, to Mayor Cooper recently elected, and Mayor Ely whose term of office had just ex pired. Thegueste comprised gentle men from all the political parties, and many happy speeches were made. Among the number who addressed the club was Petor Cooper, father of the wife of the incoming Mayor, who laid down a new principle to prevent stealing in office. The plan of Peter Cooper is this: That a certain sum should be set aside from the yearly appropriations, for instance, of the police and fire de partment. Then when it should appear-that the loss of property from the operations of criminals and the de struction of property by fire had de creased, the amount of the decrease should be distributed among the fire men and policemen as a reward. Thus these city servants, would be stirred to greater and better efforts. Then prop erty would not be damaged by water unnecessarily thrown upon lit, and thieves would be more vigilantly watched. Cotton Mather. Chicago Times. Thatgenntle servant of the Lord, the kind and tolerant Cotton Mather, a good man and a holy, is recalled to the memories of this generation just now because of the discovery of an in teresting nianuscrj.pt letter of his in the library of the Massachusetts His torical society. It breathes the very perfume of the gospel of peace: September, 17G2. To ye Aged aad Beloved John Higgiuson There be now at sea a shippe (for our friend Ssias Holdcraft of London, did advise me by the last packet that it would sail sometime in August) called ye Welcome, It. Green was Mas ter, which has on board a hundred or more of ye heretics and malignants called Quakers, with W. Penn, who is ye scamp at ye head of them. Ye General Court has accordingly fi ven secret orders to Master Malachi Kux ett, of brig Purpoisc, 'to waylaye ye said Welcome, as near 'e coafri of Codd as may be, and make captives of ye said Penn and his ungodly crew, so that ye Lord may be glorified and not mocked on ye soil of this new country with ye heathen worahipps of these people. Much spoil can be made by selling ye whole lot to Barbadoes, where slaves fetch good prices in rumme and sugar; and we shall not only do -ye Lord great service by,pun ishingyc wicked, but shall make gay no for ye ministers and people. Yours in ye bowels of Christ. Cotton IHather. Unfortunately the best laid plans of mice and ministers gang aft agee, and W. Penn and the passengers of .the J Welcome, instead of transportation to Barbadoes and-conversion there into rum and sugaffor the delectation of the godly, reached Philadelphia in safety. A resident of Vinton, Iowa, re turned for several vears his proper ty for assessment at SG,000to$7,000. Now he is dead, and his adminis- i trator swears that the estate is worth $110,000, so the county brings UuitJfor .&AJ15& backtaxes. Xo Market for Case Goods. The San Francisco Herald and Re view is authority on all subjects re lating to the markets of the Pacific coast. Under the heading of case goods, January 23d, it says: Themarket continues sluggish for all articles in this line, our local -can-ners carrying heavy stocks. The steamer City of Panama, via the isth mus, carried for New York 100 cs sal mon; and to Valparaiso, 100 cs ditto; and 51 cs fruits, etc, to Germairy. The Oregon, from Astoria, brought us 1,065 cases salmon. The market for salmon is now dull and stagnant, and our quotation an ust be looked upon as entirely nominal. There does not appear to be any export market open to ue in any quarter, and those here tofore drawing supplies from us seem to be fully stocked. California is famous for choice fruits and vegeta bles, and of late years we have several large canning establishments engaged in putting up these home products which have successfully supplanted both American and English goods, and for these we were in early days largely dependent, but now we have in thiscity, at San Jose, and elsewhere, several firms successfully employed in putting up standard goods, full weight, and of approved quality. The total shipments of salmon from the Colum bia river during 1S78 have been as follews: To England, 134800 cases; to San Francisco, 24o,8!)2 cases; total, 3S1,G92. Besides these, a few hun dred barrels and half-barrels have been shipped to Honolulu and San Fran cisco. The number of cases put up on the Columbia river during the year compares with the three preceding years as follews: 1875, 221,500 cases; 1876, 428,730 cases; 1S77, 392,000 crses; and 1878, 273,4S8 cases. - -How many people in the United States know who was the genuine in veutor of the telephone? The credit belongs to a citizen of Chicago, Dr. Elisha Gray. A grand banquet was given recently at Highland Park (a subuvb of Chicago), to Dr. Gray, who has just -received from tlie French government, in recognition of his genius, the title and decoration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. The banquet and reception were ten dered by his fellow-citizens at High land Hall, and were brilliant and suc cessful in all their accompaniments. There were present some tliree hun dred invited .guests. The young ladies of Highland Hall acsisted not only by their presence, but by the presentation to JDr. Gray of an ex quisite wrought boquet, represent ing. the French cross surmounted by a crown the insignia of the Legion of Honor. The supper was altogether worthy of the occasion, and the post prandial part was not only most enjoy able, but was a fitting tribute to the modest worth of the man of science, the honored inventor, the benefector of his race. A historic paper was read by S. R. Bingham, esq., m which extracts were made from the caveat filed in the United States patent office by Dr. Gray, February JA, 1876, dis tinctly setting forth all the essential features of tlie telephone. It was not until January, 2.8G7, almost a year later, that Prof. Bell made application for a patent covering nearly the same specifications. And 3ret, strange to say, Prof. Bell got the patent, and the slow process of the courts must be resorted to in order to establish the priority of Dr. Gray's claim. The government officials say, in excuse, that Dr. Grab's papers were over looked. The new pension bill which has become a law gives to all pen sioners of the late war arrears of pension from the date of death or discharge from service, on all pen sions now granted or that may be granted. The batik pay thus given amounts to very large. sums in many cases. We givetan qpi tomeofit'in another column to day. The time will come when you wont have to leave the theatre be tween the nets to go out and "see a man." Edison is experimenting on waves of Aissht sent throiiijh the telephone, and says that "before a year I will muke 3'oU'See.a.xnan a thousand miles -away?' A tramp claimed to have flrank brandy -and water with Neal Dow, and the whole -state of Maine was agitated; but he subsequently ex plained that he drank the brandy ana JNeal tne water, ana peace was immediately restqreu.
