AVhitelaw, of Knapp ton, called upon us yesterday. Busi ness is not rushing over that way, but they are expecting a couple of vessels next week. Mr. U. B. Scott, one of the pro prietors of the Wallamet s earners City of Salem and Ohio, was in the j city yesterday. He has '-returned to Portland. Everybody who can sing, or feels an interest in singing, is invited to at tend the singing meeting at the Congre gational church in this city to-morrow evening, and aid in the organization and good work. . -- Mr. G. Neimeyer, the popular tailor of Portland, will visit Asiori.; on Monday, with a fine lot of samples of goods for the spring trade which he . has lately received by steamer Idaho. .He will make his headquarters at the v Occident. ... . - Capt. P. Johnson informs us that "wo were in error in stating that a vc stil was brought down the river deep er thrn the Allegiance last Monday. He claims that the Allegiance was- the deepest. She with water in the tanks draws 20 feet nine inches. Mr. Hamilton, who has recently purchrsed the ship City of Dnbl'ii -'as she lays" near Pont Adams, went down yesterday to inaugurate the work of getting the -vessel afloat. He is very confident that he will be able to do so without serious d.'fticuity. When Byron died a few narrow minded functionaries refused ' his re mains a place in Wcawnisier 'Abbey, that mausolem of English g,realncs-. Instead, his body was' deposited in the vault of an ancient "ttle church at Hucknall-Terkard, a few mile3 from Kewstead Abbey. Under the auspi ces of Lord Beaconstield and ofchr prominent gentlemen, a bronze statue of the poet is now about co be erected -on an eligible site in the ciiy of Lon don. The movement is a commenda bje one, but is rather superfluous. By cron needs no monument. His work's will preserve his fame better than ihe pinost enduring memorial. Her Commander- The Oregon ian learns that the com mand of the Pacific Coant Steamship company's new steamship, State of California, will, on her reaching San Franc'sco, be given to Captain Gerard Debney. Captain Debney is senior commander in that company's employ, having been with them now fifteen years jis captain of the Donald, Sali nas, Yentura, Kaloraina and for the past live years on the Ancon, during I the hard winter of 1S77, run between San Francisco and this city. Many of people will remember (lieqnict, gentle manly commander, whose "unobtrusive manners on "ship-board" would never lead a stranger to think him to be the captain. During the few months he came to 0egtm he won many friends among the traveling public generally and merchants in particular, having more than one occasion given up his room to crowded out passengers. We congratulate the Pacific Coast Steamship company upon their judi cious selection of Captain Debney and bespeak a hearty welcome to him on his arrival in this city. It is Captain J. H. Lachlan (and not Lachgan) late general superintendent of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, who is bringing the steamer to bhis coast. Trial Trip of tlio Victoria. The iron steamer Victoria, formerly the Bolivia. launched February 22d, went on a tiial trip Tuesday. Swing ing loose from Broadway wharf at a quarter past 10 o'clock in the morning, she steamed rapidly down abreast of the heads, then turned, went up the bay above the Twin Brothers light house, then down to Hunter's point, beyond the dry dock, and from there back to the wharf, which was reached at twent" minutes past four. About 120 guests were on bo.xrd, who were pleasantly eutei tabled by Geo. C. Per kins, assisted by his right bower, Com modore Alien. On the trip, virions toasts were offered, among which 'were 'George C. Perkins, the next gov ernor of California," received with cheers that attested the sentiments of those on board; and "The Chronicle," proposed by Commodore Allen, with a tribute to it as "the live paper of the ooast." 'The-etcamer made as high as ten and a half miles an hour, which was cons'dered by her officers as a veiy satisfactory performance. She will inaugurate a new movement on the Pacific coast, being the first steam collier of any size. Her owners have concluded a charter extending over three .years, with John Rosen f eld, on behalf cf the Nanaimo coal mines, to SO m tnat trade. Her carrying ci- ? parity will'be about 1S03 tons, and it is expected she will be able to make from two to three trips per month. A fine lot of Whitaker hams to be found at Bailey's. Best Salem .flour iis-sold in this citT at $5 50 per barrel' by Warren & McGuire. Mr. 0. J. Trenchard was in formed that the new steamship Victoria, re ferred to in another column, will make Astoria one of her points of travel. Mr. Trenchard .has just rc- piurneSMronvSan fFrancisoo. g Mr3. Abernethy,-.of Oak point, mother of Miss Mamie Young of Astoria, is lying dangerously ill of pleuro-pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs. A. have but recently returned from Cali fornia. Dr. Einney of this city is attending the case. Mias Young has left the city and is by the bedside of her mother. Will'e Steers met with a very painful accident jTesterd:.y. While playing with a party of youthful com panions, they uudertook to chop a small tree on the hill, when Willie's hand fell under the axe, cult'ug three j fingers.ne;tdy off. Dr- 3.u:ney dressed the fingers and has hopes of saving them all, but may possibly lose the end of one of them. We have never been more inter ested in recounting the wonders of nature than when Messrs. E. C. Lord and C. H. Woodward, arriving from Honolulu, called upon us night before last, and related their experiences. Their travels took in nearly all points of importance, and they have been inexpressibly delighted. The Sand- wick Islauds are Luly wonderlands. CnURCH DIRECTPRT. Services at Presbyterian hall on Sabbath morning and evening, will e conducted by Rev. John R. Thompson of Olympia.

This dodge was "worked up" evidently by some sharp. It is an old dodge revived, in a very poor way. Some of the puffs are amusing to business men. Here is one, for instance, which strikes us iunny. It is a pufT for a man who really deserves a sensibly written article. Mr. Catch Penny rates him as a shipchandler, then goes on to say, The extent and importance of his trade is somewhat indicated by the fact that he occupies a store measur ing 30x100 feet, and has the same well filled at all times with the goods dealt in. To recommend such an old establishment and well known limine as this is unnecessary; we but wish to c.tll the attention of our "Counters" to the sume, assuring Ihcm that they will here find a stock of whatever natnre they desire in field, garden mid flower seeds, butter, eggs, cheese, tobacofiour, coffee, sugar, tea, bacon, lard, salmon, codfish, mackerel, potatoes, onions, vegetables, green and diied fruits. Masters of coasting vessels will be pleased to know where they can get a supply of field, garden, and flower t eds, no doubt. Traffic on the seas being dull they can open a cabbage and cauliflower ranch on deck. Mr. J. L. Stout, of Sea-view has recovered sufficiently, under the skill ful attention of Dr. Weisel, and care ful'imrsing of his faithful wife, .to be able to come to the city yesterday. There were at least eighty to a hundred persons took passage on the Oregon Steam Navigation company's rsteamer from Astoria yesterday morn ing, for points on Puget-sound. Tkyy came 'in by 'ihe ocean steamers arid e.-peeted to-reach. Tacoma J-i.t even ing, which would put hem forty-eight hours ahead on their journey, sRved by not first going to Portland. 'IThis is as it bhould be. The paramount duty that devolves upon every citizen who enjoys or an ticipates the felicity of household re lations is the provision of a liomr. However restricted its limits or hum ble may be its appointments, the ab solute x)0Ssessin f one sPfc on ne broad surface of Lhe earth is essential to the full dignity and independence of manhood. ' The possessor of a com fortable home is elevated to a certain degree of sovereignty, and relietc d of that oppressive sense of humility wherein one seems to infest the.planet as a wayfarer, trespassing by nffer ance, and having no proprietory in terest in the grand economy of the universe. In this country the man who rears a family without providing them with the first requisite of happi ness and success in life-a home they may call their own,-43 guilty of a j grievous wroiig.
