Piratical thieving still occurs at the

It does not materially differ from

Yesterday as a party were on board
the wreck Capt Carroll discovered that
the clock on the engine was still run
ning, and keeping accurate time. He
had it taken off and sent ashore.
The Seattle Post thinks that the
Northern Pacific railroad and the Ore
gon Steam Navigation company are one,
their interests are identical; and that
the intention to build the road down
the south side of the Columbia in the
near future or at any other time, can
not be entertained for a moment, as the
ost would be too great, the country
traversed too broken and unproductive
to ever justify so vast an expenditure.
News from the wreck yesterday was
unimportant. People are trying to" save
what they can. The stuff will be sold,
and otherwise disposed of, to the best
interests of the owners, and insurers.
Very much of her cargo was not insured.

times successively. The twenty-sixth

We understand that the man Con

on Wednesday last was a tailor by pro
fession, lie 'has acted strangely for

make it apparent that he was insane.
He came down on the Ancon last Sun
day and expected to go to San Francisco
but was drinking and got left here.
He begged Mr. Curry to write to his
wife and friends below in case anything
happened to him, but Mr. Curry little

such news.
We do not know Richard House,
Edward llyan nor 11. A. Dunlap, nor do
we know any restaurant keeper in this
city who wouldn't take five dimes for a
half; but we do know that the inference
intended to be drawn from that letter,
discrediting the hospitality of citizens
of Astoria to the shipwrecked passen
gers is false. Some men are mean
t'.nough to growl even when snatched
from the jaws of death. We have not
perhaps, paid as close attention to Hiat
c.las as thev may think we should.
Through mismanagement on the
part of someone, ten tons of Olympia
oysters and several passengers were left
behind day before yesterday, which it
was expected would go below by the
Oregon. The blame was attached to
one. of the conductors on the Northern
Pacific railroad, who waited at Olequa
when he should have moved on. But it
seems that he waited under orders and
the other train receiving no orders to
meet him at Olequa -waited at the usual
Mation, so they both waited and conse
quently the passengers vaited, thooys

Order Ko, 5-
General orders No. 5, officially
promulgated at. Fort Vancouver on the
loth, relative to desertions from the
army contains the following paragraph:
Commanding officers will promptly
make a thorough investigation, with a
view of ascertaining the causes which
lead to desertion. These are often local,
and the result of abuses that can and
should 1m at once corrected. They will
require company officers to insja'ct daily
the ineaN ol'thesoldiers. and to exercise
proper care that the food is of good
quality, and sufficient in quantity, and
that the variety is as great as the re
sources of the post will admit The in
difference to his trusl, of an officer who
is ignorant of the internal workings of
his company, is highly reprehensible,
and post commanders 'are required to
keep companv officers fully alive to their
responsibilities, ami prevent the evils
that too often arise from abuse of power
by non-commissioned officers. The civil
authorities of towns and cities, will be
at once furnished with full descriptions
of deserters, and descriptive lists will
also be sent imuiediatelv.

Farmer ColFman of Uniontown,

One night his dog was poisoned, on
the next night two of his horses were
killed, on the third his barn w;is

was hit by a bullet fired through the
window. By that time his lethargic
neighbors were convinced that some
body meant mischief, and a guard w.is
posted around Coffinan's house.
There was outrageous fraud in a
Philadelphia pie-eating match. The
contestants were three in number, and
one of the largest of the variety

Three pies were placed on a table, on

shut his mouth on about a quarter of
its surface; but there was no swallow

Baltimore is the champion city of
Amerca for the manufacture of cheap
jellies. It is well understood that the
jelly is an animal, rather than a veget-
:lblc Pduct. being simply gelatine,
colored and flavored according to the
.. ., , . , , i.j -n ..
fnnt that is to be represented. Boston
jelly is chiefly made of apples, also
flavored and colored in imitation of
other fruits, and the imposition is dis-
! covered by very few. It costs four
teen conts a pound, which is but
half what the genuine fruits repre
sented can be supplied for. Boston is
also a great raspberry jam mart, and
the eight linns maufacturing it pro
duce an aggregate of 500 tons a year.
It sells for eighteen cents per pound,
and is made from dried raspberries.
Concerning Tea.
Chicago Times.
The addition of a few drops of lemon
juice, or airy other vegetable acid,
renders tea more exciting, and this
1 custom prevails among poor Chinese
I and main Russians. The addition of
alkali, on the contrary, make3 tea
j ess stimulating, and in some measures
jnarcotical. In the east some drugs
j are put into the tea to give it aphrodis-
' iacal dualities. Tea excites the ac-
tions of the heart less than coffee, is
less hostile to sleep and is less fit to
sustain intellectual labor, but more
than coffee it increases the eliminative
of the skin and respiration. In many
persons tea produces an astringent
effect on the intestines and a trouble
some constipation. The addition of a
few drops of generous wine can pre
vent the wakefulness which tea causes.
More than everything, experience
availeth to indicate to any one whether
from the state of diis nerves, his brain
or his digestion, he ought to prefer
tea or coffee. Iii every fashion it
seems to be proved that after dinner
the Chinese leaf ought to be preferred
to the Abyssinian berry. In extremely
cold countries and on very cold days,
and consequently with supreme
reasons in the Arctic zone, tea is the
best of drinks, as all travelers have
demonstrated. Dr. Kane did not
hesitate to call tea the "great panacea
of Arctic travel." The excessive use
of tea, especially green tea, produces
obstinate wakefulness, nervous tremb
lings, convulsions, cramps of the
stomach, palpitation of the heart, and
so on.
