The. winds last evening were stiff und cold. Fresh spring salmon for breakfast. -It is nice. Mr. J. L. Hepburn arrived in the 'city j'ceterday. There is a superabundant suppry of water everywhere. Dr. Hatch has returned to Aslo .ria, and opened an office in Brown's "building. The board of delegates, Astoria Fire department, will meet this cven hiZi at the usual hour. At exactly 4:20 r. s. yesterday this vicinity relished a streak of sun shine five minutes long, . The Emma Hayward picked up 500 cases of salmon at Hanthorne & Co.'s for-Klnpmont yesterday. Mr. T. say to you Bailey has something to this morning -under the new advertisements heading. Ah Sam the cook, attempted to poison Geo. A. Young's herders in Wasco county. He poisoned himself. The steamer Emma Hayward is the "boss," as the girl said at the ball. She comes in on time, and carries the passengers. 4 The Oregon Steam Navigation company will dispatch the steamer John Gates from Oelilo to Lewiston to-morrow. Adler has loft a lift of delinquents ,it this office to be published on the 1st of March, in case that the accounte .are nut settled by that daj The Standard is the best printed, and the Salem Statesman the worst printed sheethat comes to this office. Bro. Odell; clean out that press-Toom, for pity sake. iTiy egg jumoies, oanana cases, jiic-nacs, Jenny Lmd extra soda and pic-nics, if 3Tou want anything in the -cracker line. To be had at J. W. Gearhart's. ... .-1,1 i B.' W. Williams suvs there are "1)00 less celestials in Portland than were there last December. About 900 more in and about Astoria will account for where they have gone. Carl Adler has secured the servi ces of an expart watchmaker, and is .now prepared for business in that line. All work wan-anted. Repairing of all -kinds done neat and cheap. The steamer Great Republic bro light 450 passengers to Astoria re cently and the Oregon 320, making .770 arrivals in one day. Referring to this fact the Seattle Post says: "This is just the kind of news we like to give our readers, .. for it shows that our country is fast growing in population and im portance and presages more business iand better times in the near future. " The officer in charge of the con struction of a government -telegraph line from DaTton to the new Couer d' Alene fort, will fix upon one of the two routes wa Almota and Colfax, or from Lewision via Moscow and Pa louse city. We cannot see how the line can avoid Colfax, going by either one of the routes named. Among the quests at the Occident last evening were Col. Gillespie, Ma nor of United States engineers, Mr. R. A. Habersham, assistant engineer, Cnpt. Merrinuin, superintendent of the 13th light-house district, and Mr. D. Leahy, superintendent of the Wes tern Union telegraph company. We were pleased to make the acquaintance of Col. Gillespie. There is a movement -on foot among the citizens of Curry county, to have mi opposition vessel run to that port during the coming spring and summer, and a meeting has been an nounced to be held at BagnclFs ferry to take into consideration the interests of the people in the matter of the shipment of wool anfi other iroducts to Sun Francisco. There appears to be some trouble in the Catholic church at Astoria. In answer to Father Orth a gentleman of that church has submitted a communi cation, which upon second thought, we believe he would not be pleased to see in print. Our advice to the parties of both sides is to temper wrath with judgment. A newspaper con troversy, above all things, should be avoided if possible, in a matter of this kind. We believe it was a disappointed old maid who declared that Lo short est way to a man's heart was through his stomach, says the Olympia Expe riment. By contemplating the num ber of restaurants and boarding houses in town, and those about to start into operation, a stranger would be led to suppose that the gustatory faculty is the principle one that actuates our people. Pretty much the same thing is observed in Astoria. From late eastern pax)ers we no tice that hard-wood is quoted in north-western Pennsylvania, at 90 cents per cord, four feet long, maple, hickory, oak, beech, etc., and is haul ed to town and corded up for that price. How is it, or why is it, then, that Vr'hen fir wood sells readily in this market for $3 50 and 4 00 per cord, there should be so little profit in the business, as there is alleged to be, by those who have been engaged in it for years. At a reception, following the re cent city election in Colfax. Whitman county, W. T., one of the speakers truthfully remarked that "Colfax, situated in the center of a vast agri cultural country, surrounded by graz ing laud on a thousand hills, and hav ing an outlet to the sea board by way . r ii.- "v.i v i oi v ui uie wHiiiiiom aim onanc rivers, can- , not iau, m tne near luture, to be a city of promise and influence." The affair passed off pleasantly and was enjoyed by all present. It is well worth while to save 3Tour home paper and have it bound. A few years will make it the most en tertaining and instructive volume you can possess.

":ie I ' -ww w.j, uui.i.0 that have vou to prosperity. It ives the history of your town, which is but an epitome of universal history. The record will be all the mere inter esting the older it grows. The population of Portland, ac cording to a recent census is sliown to be 17,000, only 14,000 less than Asto ria. This does not satisfy the public md the press are growling about it. The Standard says: The council may accept it as correct, but to our mind it is not. The men engaged by the census takers have failed to perform their work. Out of a party of five gentlemen the census taker visited the house of but one of them. One of the councilmen stated that in his part of the city the work was but partially performed, and the renort was referred to nn appropriate com-. miLtoe. and facts are preserved for you in the I cles arc als0;maae OL lu xin most accessible manner; over it you millions of slag bricks, most of ir.ay cry at your mistakes ur laugh at ' which go to London, are manufac your follies; And rejoice at those steps tured annually. Glassworks are Town. vs. Country. The following homely incident from the Atlanta, Georgia, Constitu tion, illustrates the necessity of har mony in feeling between town folk and country people : An eternal warfare seems to Tage between the country -negro and the town darky. This was illustrated at the passenger depot yesterday. A colored youth from Pike county .-approached a town negro, and the fol lowing conversation ensued; "Whar bouts is de ticket office ?" "Right dar' fo' yd5 eyes."", "Fo' whose eyes?" "Yone." "Is you de -ticket office?" "Look yer, nigger, don't yo gimme noe yo' slack.1' "Phi a mighty slack man, ole man, w.'en I gets stirred up." "An' yu"ll git stirred up ef you stan' roun' yer foolin' longer me." "Dats de kin' of ex'cise w'at I'm pinin fcr." With that they clinched and had a right lively tussle. They were separa ted, however, before a policeman came along, and the Pike .county darky found the ticket office. The town negro, it may be well to men tion, was badly used nip. The Post-office dapartment has ordered a new postage stamp, to be used on letters not prepaid. Hereto fore, a letter being posted and want ing a tamp, has been held in the office ct which it was mailed. The postmaster at this o'ffice then writes to the -individual -addressed, saying that such a letter 'has been held in that office for him, and postage not, having been prermid. The new stamp which has just been ordered, and under the new regulation, is put on the letter, and sent to the -postmaster at the office of its destination, who is charged with the amount due, and to collect the same from the person addressed on the delivery of the letter. An Indian from Lewis river, now a resident of Boston, Mass., occupies a prominent and responsible position in a wholesale business house, receives a salary f $1,800 per year, and, is soon to marry the handsome and ac complished daughter of his employer. His name is Arthur" -J'ohnson, son of Andrew Johnson, an intelligent and somewhat famous Indian who used to live on Lewis river. On his father's death, seven year3 ago, Arthur, turn ed his small personal property into cash, and started out to see the world. After a series of adventures, he final ly found himself in Boston. He had learned to read English fluently, when ajboy, and also to write a fair hand, and by the time he had reached the hub had assumed a civilized air which, with his education, qualified him for business and society. His In dian ancestry gave him romantic stock in trade, and hp soon found himself prospering m business and in a.small way., social Hon. As about 30 hundred-weight of slag are made for every ton of pig-iron, the importance of ufiliz- ing this waste product is very ob vious.

He was a great man and made the best president we ever Lhad. He is gone anci it makes but little difference -how he was born or what was his religious creed. He performs his duties faithfully and conscientiously while '.on earth and that is enough. CITY. Oysters served in every style at the Walla Walla Restaurant.

Officials of the treasury deny the newspaper reports of extensive element of bogus coin in our me- talic circulating medium. The amount fhns been reported to be as much as 2,000.000, but the treas ury officials believe that 3,000 is more than the reality. They do not deny, however, 'that the re sumption of specie payments has given new life to the almost obso- lote industry in this country namely, the counterfeiting of coin.
