A "Blaze of Gca&ty.
Metropolitan hall was a-blazc with
the exhibition of youth and beauty at
the masquradc last evening. No party
was ever given in Astoria which pass
ed off more handsomely, or more suc
cessfully. As we are unable to give
the list of persons entire who appeared
in costume, t? e defer particulars until
to-morrow.
Shallow Traiinaciidn.
It seems strange fhat the San Fran
disco Journal of Commerce should
only know of Coos bay in making tip
its annual review. Here is all it has
to say of the Oregon part of it3 stery:
And here we depart a little from
the even tenor our way to give a
few statistics of Coos bay. One of the
most important points on "the Oregon
coast. And we do this simply and
solely because the citizens of that
place have been enterprising enough
to complete and furnish them to us.
The total value of exports since and
including 1877 and eiidit months of
1S78 has been S3, 192,101,75. of
which 62,942,4 GS,75 has been the
value of Dumber. Forty vessels

nagc of K),3o0, including one ot the
finest vessels ailoat,t he Western Shore,
2,000 tons. During the period above
specified the arrivals and departures
have been 2,3SS, of a tonnage of 565,
550 tons. Jn the immediate vicinity
of Coos bay there are 100,000 acres of
timber land. Within ten miles of the
bay there are 75,000 acres of coal laud,
containing 450 million tons of coal,
while the total ore in that district is
not less than 250,000 acres. There is
21 feet of water at the bar.
We sec it stated that a petition is
in circulation in Koseburg, to pre
vent the hanging of the two Chinamen
recently convicted and sentenced in
Portland. What in thunder Rosebirrg
has to do with Chinese hanging m
Portland, somewhat puzzles the Al
bany Democrat.
Mr. H. C. Hoyt, of the San Fran
cisco Merchants' exchange, lias pre
pared his annual statement of the
amount of tonnage built on the Paci
fic coast, by which it appears that in
1878 the total number of vessels built
was thirty-eight, principally small
steamers and schooners, with a total
registered tonnage of 5569tons.
There is a large number of disso
lute, idle, unscrupulous vagabonds
from the sand lots of San Francisco,
members of Kearney's cohorts, at the
presenttime hangiug around Portland.
The Beeeays they are hale, hearty,
muscular young felknrs, but too infer
nally lazy to work for an honest -existence.
They prefer to sleep under
wharves and old sheds and barns, at
night, and live on bar-room lunches
j by day.
Considering the great interests
manifested by the people iu everything
that pertains to the O'Shea-Joseph
tragedy, the Bee publishes the names
of those who signed the petition to
Governor Thayer for the commutation
of sentence of the murderors, Brown
and Johnson. The list numbers about
GOO names, among which some good
ones are included. The great majority
however, are unknown to the bona
fid, citizens, and are men who have
come but recently to Portland and
have but little influence Or standing.
It is right the public should Ircovr and

It 'has been decided by the Supe-

want to get married, and tried to ex

became angry threatened to shoot her
if she refused, while she, lieing still
less inclined to be killed than mar

a great many false representations to
the clergymen-the ceremony was per
