Our friend Nicholas Clinton says that "way up" there on Eighth street, where he lives, the sun shines fre quently when it is wet and rainy down &ere in the valley of this jcity by the sounding sea. 3fot Ir. Elbcrscm. Our friend Frank JElberson came very near reading his obituary notice m the columns of The Astoiuan, but the following from the Sail Francisco Chronicle dispels all fearaas to his fate. We had come to the conclusion that, if the descriptionsuited Mr. Elberson, he had been murdered, ami placed in the position described for the purpose of removing suspicion, and causing the impression that it was a case of suicide. Happily for all, Frank still lives, as the Chronicle clearly describes another person. We quote the 2sth: AN UNKNOWN MAN'S SUICIDE. Yesterday morning about G o'clock the body of an unknown man was found lying dead in the lumber piles on Hathaway 's wharf. His right hand grasped a pistol, and a bullet wound in the right temple showed the means and cause of death. The bod' was rigid, and death had evidently ensued several hours before. On the body was found a memorandum book con taining the addresses of several pei srns, and several receipts for making bread written in German. Deceased was about 23 years of age, medium build, 5 feet 7 inches in hight, light brown hair, goatee and mustache; wore a light, cheap suit of cashmere clothes, light brown check flannel shirt, shoes and black felt hat. The body lies at the morgue. AMUSKMEXTS. A Meritorious Entertainment. The initial performance of Barlow, Wilson, Primrose it West's Minstrels at Metropolitan hall hist night, was at tended by one of the largest audiences that ever congregated therein, and a more delighted assemblage it would be ditlicult to conceive of. The com pany is, without a doubt, the best on the road, snd the entertainment fully hears out the reputation the company have made wherever they have appeared. The dialogue was ex cellent, the jokes funny and new, and the olio, as a whole, original, success ful, and of mirth-provoking character. Messrs. Barlow and Wilson, as "end men" are excellent in the "burnt cork" arena of the present day, while in their specialties, it would Ihj ditli cult to find their equals. Barlow's "Old Black Joe," was a fine piece of character acting, and Wilson's elocu tionary oilbrt, later in the evening, was one of the features of the enter tainment. Primrose and West's songs and dances and clog and jig exercises were executed neatly and skilfully and loudly encored. The farces were new, and the performers appeared to have been especially chosen for the characters. The banjo eccentricities were highly appreciated, as was every thing offered In' the company. It is seldom an audience laughs so heartily from the beginning to the end of a performance as the one at Metropoli tan hall last night, and the managers may rest assured that whenever they may revisit Astoria, an overflowing house will be their portion. They will give another performance this afternoon, and one this evening. Fill the house. SmoRed Salmon. Nothing in the curing of fish in our opinion can compare with the process of careful smoking. We notice that E. C. Holden advertises a choice lot of smoked salmon at auction to-day to close consignment a rare chance for Restaurant and Boarding House Keepers. C. H. Bain & Co. will, from this date, discount ten per cent, for cash, on former prices on sales of mould ings, sash xmd doors. Mrs. GriswoldTs warehouse in Portland was destroyed by tire on Thursdaj7.

Ben HolladayT, Jr. , has 'been elected a member of the Pacific Stock Ex change. The gentleman is well known in businoss circles, and for many years was connected with the steamship lines on this coast. The steamer Magnet, Capt. Mun- son s new yacnt, was successfully launched yesterday afternoon, and steamed up in front of the citv a thincr of beauty, ad let us .hope "a joy for ever." The Magnet will prove .a suc cess, heytsnd a douht " o Scissors and Newspapers. We commend tliefollowing from the Newspaper Union, te some of our friends who think it is a joke on a newspaper man to accuse him of using more scissors than pencils. "Some people, ignorant of what good editing is, imagine the getting up of selected matter to be the easiest work in the world to do, where it is the nicest work tlsat is done on a paper. If they find the editor with his scissors in his hand, they are sure to say, "Eh! that's the way you get up original matter, eh!" accompanying their new and witty question with an idiotic wink or smile. The facts are that the interest, the morality, the variety and useful ness of a paper depends, in no small degree, upon its selected matter, and few men are capable of the position who would not themselves be able to write mairy of the articles they select. A sensible editor desires considerable selected matter, because he knows that one mind cannot make so good a paper as live or six. Genius of Iinbels. An old newspaper man from Ohio has started a drug store in Detroit, and a loeal paper, commenting on his innovations, remarks that he will either be a millionaire within the next three years or "bust" in less than six months. His store is very cheer ful. Skulls, crucibles, forceps, chro mos, false teeth, bones, almanacs, parrots and sticks of liquorice are scattered in delightful profusion, and there isn't a drawer or bottle without an original label. On one drawer he has: "Glue she sticks right by you, no matter what the weather." On an an other: "Copperas Eat slow and chaw fine." On anether: "Paris green Sure in its operation, lasting in its effects." The label on one bot tle reads, "Buy some of me and stop that blamed cough." Of another, "I'm Sal. Petre who are you? " On another, "Prussic acid Don't fool around with a revolver." Hanging around the wall is a beautiful sign, which reads, "If you don't want to ask for a fine tooth comb, point your finger at me." At the baclc- end -'of the store is a large sign, and it bears the tender sentiment: "There is no flock without its missing lamb. Some times you find him in the bedstead. I keep the stuff to make him weary of life. Don't jisk for bedbug poison, but call it the Lost Lamb Restorative. I shall know what you mean." The front of the store bears some happy thoughts. Among them is one read ing: "Walk right in here, if you had buckwheat cakes for breakfast last winter. Another one says: "I can cure that red nose iu just fourteen clays." A .third reads: "You man with the catarrh, please step this way." Warren & McGuire have the early rse potatoes for seed. Farmers, please remember this. Dr. J. Welch, dentist, now at As toria for the purpose of tilling en gagements here, in the practice of his profession, cannot remain longer than about ten days from this date. See card elsewhere iu this paper. During the absence of Mr Carl Adler people are invited to call at his store and help themselves to whatever they choose, at bed-rock prices. His present stock will be reduced to make room for a large .assortment in new lines of goods. "1 say, my frien can you (hie) tell. me where fclie other side of the street is?" "Certainly just across the vfay; why do you ask!" Why (hie), because a minute ago 1 asked another fellow the same thing, and (hie), he said this was the other side of the street.' . m The Buffalo Express has spent a great deal of time in experimenting on the intricacies of logic, and has ac quired rare facility for putting an argument in its most convincing form of expression. Its masterpiece is in reference to the use of tobacco, and H proves beyond the possibility of a doubt that the noxious weed produces longevity, and does it in such a skilful way that the inference thrustc itself on the mind with marvellous force. "The ancient Egyptians," it says, "were 1 never known to use tobacco in any j shape, and, mark you, the ancient : Ervntians are all dead." Erao but : .-- " weiorbear, for -the conclusion that man who uses tobacco nearer dies is Moo clear to be stated. Punisliing Pupils. In a decision by the supreme court of Indiana occurs the extract: "Teach ers should therefore understand that whenever correction is administered in anger or insolence, or in any other manner than moderation and kindness, accompanied with that affectionate moral suasion so eminently due from one placed by the law in loco jtareniis in the place of the parent the court must consider them guilty of assault and battery."
