In the hour of sorrow caused by the Veto power being abused by Restriction Bill Hayes, we have one 'ray of sunshine to break thT0ugh sa's the Standard, which causes us to forget for the time being at least our great disappoint ment. The following telegram from Senator Mitchell to a promi nent gentlemen of this city explains itself: "Washington, March 2. The river and harbor bill which has just passed the senate appropriates for the Cascades 100,000; for the Lower Villamette and Columbia, 45,000; to continue the survey at the bar at the mouth of the. Col umpia river, 5,000: -for the Upper Columbia, 620,000; for the Upper Willamette, 612,000; break water and harbor of refuge at some point on the cozist as may be de termined by the board of engineers, $150,000. Total increase over the the House bill as reported, $225, 000; making the entire appropri ations for the benefit of Oregon, $400,000. We will also get 20, 000 for a military wagon road from Scottsville to Camp Stewart, also appropriations for surveys for locks at the Dalles, Alsea, Alsea bay and Umpqua river. 'Sentiment of Senators. From the telegraphic reports we glean the following expression of Pacific coast senators after the veto of the Chinese restriction bill: Senator Booth said ho thought the message very much like -an or dinary eastern newspaper uirticle. It was about what he expected. Senator Mitchell said he hardly dred trust himself to speak of Mr. Hayes, for fear he might employ language which would not be dec orous. He considered the Presi dent's utterances hypocritical and inconsistent, and the veto an out re.ge. . Senator Jones said it seemed to him that cthe president simply wanted to barter our civilization for supposed commercial advan tages and for supposed opportuni ties for missionary efforts in China. He was not surprised at anything weak, mild or waterish -when it pro ceeded from such a source. Senator Sargent, comment ed upon it in the follow ing emphatic terms which are re ported verbatim: The message is weak and inconsistent. The ad ministration crouches at the de mand of the eastern press and money bags, and but feebly dep recates the indignation of the Pacific. I am not surprised at the course of the administration. 1 supposed we had its adhesion to the principle of the bill, but .it is ill lnmriMci' iirlimli Tc li-i,Ll ii.itm . i n i i ii it i expected.

It is naturally reck--less "when the interests of free labor on the Pacific are at stake, and sacrifices without remorse the republican party there. I had "rather have twenty years of demo cratic rule and be rid of this Chi nese curse than a century of such republicanism as that of this ad ministration "with unresricted Chi nese immigration. Haves was de termined from the first to veto this bill and was bound to find some pretense on which it can be done. All his pretended opposition to the Chinese was designed to rupture the Pacific senators on such mat ters as the Xew York nominations. -It was never founded on convic tion and vanished the moment ,.,,,. i ,, ' i i any clamor was raised. A great work has been clone by congress and destroyed by Hayes. The only advantage left is the instruc- tion of the country, making the jvork easier in the future, i hope he California senators will keen up the fight, for in time they will! -succeed.

I hope the people of California will calmly bide their time, which must come. The great obstacle in this fight has been prejudice exerted by the in temperate utterances of some o the anti-Chinese partisans. That has been a powerful lever working in and out of congress. A Son of Lord 1'yin Ylifs the Grove on a Secret Mission. Cerr. Washington County I rtdepemlent. An English gentleman repre senting himself to be a son of Lord Pym of England, was out here recently and made a tour of the coast range mountains and ex pressed himself well pleased with the fine timber and rich soil which he saw. He was particularly pleased with the timber. One tree that had fallen, and upon which he sat to contemplate the grand sight of noble firs around him, he meas ured and fon-nd its length to be 300 feet and Si feet in diameter. After looking at the same for a few moments he said, "That would make a line walking-stick for some of our London swells," and added, '"This is indeed the finest timber; in the world. 1 he grove of fine cedar, maple and ash, as well as the valleys of rich soil on Gales, and Dairy creeks and jSTehalem river with their abundance of deer, elk and small game, were wonder ful to him, presenting scenes he said he never could forsret. "While in the vicinity of Dairy creek he enjoyed the hospitality of the genial though somewhat eccentric Dutchman, Nicholas Christ, whose heart is always warm and who is ever ready to ex tend a welcome to the weary traveler. Capt. Tyler of this place accom panied Mr. Pym in his examination of the country and speaks of him in the highest tonus, but will not reveal anything about the business of this scion of the British aristoc racy out here. It is surmised however that Mr. Pym has been sent out here bv some English capitalists who design either to buy up the Oregon Central rail road land grant between Forest Grove and Astoria or to take the land in security for money they intend to lend to build the branch road from- here to Astoria. The failure of the great Glasgow bank together with other extensive bank and mercan tile failures in England have unset tled the confidence of capitalists in the "fast anchored Isle" and they are looking in our coiintn for more safe investments. This visit of Mr. Pym to this district is a hopeful precursor of improve ments in this direction. Interest is growing here in the superior in ducements held out by the advan tages of the Coast range for settle inent, and it must be said that a number of our sharp-sighted busi ness men and landless farmers are investing in these lands. Mr. Pvm intends to return here next Octo ber. Surprised at Astoria. In his letter to the New Age, Bro. D. Norcross, P. G. R. I. 0. 0. E., from California, says: , , , , , , tl , On Ihursday I returned to Portland, and on Friday morning was on board the Oregon Steam Navigation corn companies steamer, Dixie Thompson for Astoria, Capt. Richard Lloyt, to whom I am indebted for courtesies extended me, and also to Bro. Al. llahles, steward. On reaching the dock at Astoria, I was somewhat sur prised to notice a number of gentle men wearing the badge of mourning for a brother Odd Fellow, and nt the same time a gentleman at nj side re marked to me that there was a dele gation of members of the lodge come down to receive a distin guished visitor of that order. In a few minutes they camG on board and I was introduced to brothers I. Vv. Case, R. W. Grand. Warden, and D. D. G. M., J. W. Welch, M. G., C. 11. Bain, Treas., Wm.

TTKITTEX TOR THK JISTORIAX.J Woman whether she will or not influences others, and to do this for good she herself should be under the best of influence. Woman is a great teacher but to teach well she must her self be well taught. How potent and practical her influence and her teach ing are, those know best who know most of the world and human nature. We learn much from woman; and T pity the ignorance and conceit of that man who fancies that he has nothing more to learn from a gifted, talented cultivated member of the gentie sex. The mission of woman is. and has been from the beginning, to influence and teach men for good and for this they j have received God given capacities. It should be the gloiy of the woman that she was sent into this world to live for others, rather than for her self; and therefore I should say let her smallest rights be respected her small est wrongs redressed. But never let woman forget that her call ing is not the lower and more earthly one of self-assertion, but the higher and diviner calling of self-sacrifice and let her never desert that higher life which lives in others and for others, like the blessed redeemer her dear Lord. Some say that this doctrine would keep woman a depen dant and a slave. .Not se: it would keep her what she should be, the mistress of all around her, because mistress of herself. Woman when herself can show a greatness and a strength, a magnanimity and a royalty, which though tiiey keep her gentle, loving and kind, make her a queen in the power she exerts. Woman's mission is to influence and teach man. To show him after all that his calling is the same as hers, if he will but see the things which belong to his peace. To temper his fiercer, coarser, more self-assertive nature by the contact of her gentleness, purity and self-sacrifice. To make him see that not by blow of trumpets, nor by noise of wrath, greed, ambition, intrigue and puffery, is good and lasting work to be doneon earthy but by wise self-distrust, by silent labor, by self-control by that beautiful charity which hopeth all things, believeth all things. This is truly the divine mission of her woman hood, t Spring: Salnion. Under this heading the Vancouver Independent says: "We are informed that the spring run of- salmon has commenced at As toria, and the fishermen who have procured licenses are now hauling in over the boat's side dozens of fresh shining fish. This first run will in all probability be of short duration, as the Columbia is rising very rapidly, which will check the run. At the canneries all is life and -activity. The tin shops are turning out thousands of cans to be used during the coming season t If Bro. Beeson could oaly look 'Kpon the demure countenances of our can nerymen, hiding the very vivacity which he seems to depict, he would say there is verT Kttle poetry in the fact. The shining fish are all smelt, there is very little activity calling for salmon from any quarter of the globe at present. T6 tCORRESPOXDENTS. . 1. Be brief.
