Old England's Roast Beef. The inroads made upon the British market for grain and meats (beef and bread), interfering with the business and profits of British farmers and cat tie gentlemen to the extent of driving them from their avocations, and cutting down the price of beef to such a degree that the business of supply ing the markets, at ruling rates, is proving ruinous to the butchering business; have caused the government to appoint a committee to make in quiries for the purpose of ascertaining the capacity of the United States, Brazil, Australia, and other nations, for producing breadstuiTs and beef cattle. This is an important question for the people of Great Britain gen erally, as well as for those more imme diately interested in the two branches of food supply. The stalled beef of England is generally a superior article, -and for a long time has had control of the market, those furnishing it being able to fix almost their own price upon it. The rich could afford to line themselves with its juicy joints and tender steaks at will. But however good, juicy, and nourishing it might be, the common people (the compara tively poor, as well as the absolutely poor), stood but a slim chance to feast their palates often with the rare treat. But one day the 'tamal" Yankees sent across the ocean specimens of American cattle, to be turned into beef upon their arrival in England. And this was done, and the meat furnished at such a reduced rate from that which had previously ruled in the British markets, that consternation sat upon the faces of the beef-dealers of the beef-eaters. Then various schemes were formed for Heading off the Yankees. The cry was raised that imported cattlawcre diseased, had the p! euro-pneumonia, were unfit for food, and succejfcdeatto obtain certain enact ments of prohibition, etc. This was all well enough, and correct, so far as the purpose was to protect the people from imposition, land being induced, by the idea ofcheapness, to purchase and use unhealthy food. But, per haps, somewhat of other purposes entered into the plans of the operators. Nor can we blame them much. Their business was at stake, and they nat urally endeavored to save themselves. However, the supply of beef from abroad continues, and the British people find that nothing short of a prohibitory tariff can save their cattle breedera for beef from ruin, or from a forced retreat from the business. Now the British government and public want to know what are the capacities of foreign countries for supplying and continuing to supply material to take the place of "the roast beef of old England." The Grant Excnrsion Party. Republican journals throughout tlie country are speaking their sentiments very freely on the subject of sending a monster excursion party across the continent to welcome General Grant home. Thc preponderance of opinion is against the excursion. It is gen erally believed that it is being gotten up as a monc3Ted speculation, and that if it has any political significance it will do General Grant more harm than good. That the General himself is ignorant of the intention is made ap parent from the outline of his plans furnished in the letter addressed to George W. Ohilds, of Philadelphia. It is furthermore believed in some quarters that General Grant would be annoyed by such a greeting. The Chicago Inter-Ocean, a republican pa per, echoes the respectable republican feeling in the follewing: mcious. juen of sense wno are inenu.s of Grant and of the republican party will not only stand aloof, but condemn in no measured terms the enterprise, n mjmmm a Single copies of the Weekly Astorian nesaly done up. witli stamps to pre-pay jpttage atiixed. lor sale at tbi otfice.

I He expresses himself as being some-, what in doubt as to the passage J through Behrings straits of Prof, j Nordenskjold in the "Vega. He hopes that the cablegrams to that effect are correct, but fears they are not. Cap tain Barker, a resident of San Fran cisco, who was wrecked on East Cape in the fail of 1S75, and remained! among the natives during the winter, says that in February of each your the ice moves to the north ward from the shore. Taking this view Lieutenant De Long thinks that Nordenskjold may have succeeded in getting out as reported. The navy department has not as yet designated any vossel as a covoT to the expedition, but it is probable that the Alaska will be se lected for that purpose. Will This Scliezac Fail. There appears to be at the present time a great deal of discussion in the German journals upon the question of extending the telegraphic wires more thoroughly over the world than heretofore, so that one may know in the morning whatever remarkable thing transpires the day before in any part of the civilized world. Their principal discussion is a proposed cable between this coast and Yoko hama, Japan; thence to Tientsin, and from that point to Pekin. It is said that the proposed cable plan (or com-pan- perhaps) is making good pro gress. It is proposed that there shall be made a junction of the Chinese line with others, connecting with south African, also. Some Tears ago a gen tleman in San Francisco endeavored to interest some of the solid men of California in the undertaking of con necting us with the Sandwich islands, Japan and China, he having obtained the necessary authority from congress; but although they were willing that their names should appear in the bill, they did not have sufficient confidence in the plan, as a financial measure, to induce them to advance the funds for constructing the line, and it seemed to have died of inanition. Is this question now being discussed 03 the German press to result in a similar utter failure of accomplishing airy thing? Refering to the address by ex Senator Mitchell at the graduate exercises of Wallamet university on the 13th, a Salem letter to the Oregon ian says: " It was just such as the occasion called for and one that could not fail to impress itself upon the minds of his hearers and have its beneficial influence upon those for whose benefit it was more especially intended. Throughout it teemed with suggestions practical and advice which, if followed, can but lead to good results. The large audience paid the strictest attention to the dis course, evincing n.j signs of weariness, notwithstanding the inconveniences arising from over-crowded seats, and were apparently deeply interested.
