We have recently received sever al spicy letters for publication in The Astorian. Often a good idea is lost by mixing it up with politics. This is not, in any sense, a political paper. Mr. Frank T. Dodge has received the appointment of port warden, for the district of Columbia, from Gover nor Thaver. Frank; does your juris diction down. extend over us? If so, come An Olympia paper says Capi. P. Mackie, of the Cit' of Chester, w;is married in San Francisco a few days before the ship sailed for the sound to Mrs. Ashley, widow of the late Senator Ashley. . Hain is not a rarity east, this win-spr-summer, judging from the bill of fare at Piney-point hotel, Mary land, a copy of which reaches us from a friend. On the list of entrees we find "Umbrellas, rain-water sauce," 'Buffalo robes, very tuph," etc. Information is wanted of the whereabouts of one Frank P. Holt, a lame painter late resident of Astoria, mysteriously decamped,, his family fol lowing him, forgetful of his obliga tion to pay house rent, milk and washing bills, nurse hire during con finement of Iu3 wife, store bills, doc tors bills, etc., etc. On Monday last a Miss Smith, a 51 3Toung lady of 17, and once of As toria, known as the "child lecturer," was arrested for passing countefeit money.

She was forced to confess her crime, and implicates her step-father who is ims3ing. w It is useless to prosecute the masters of vessels coming to Portland with, an overloaded cargo of Chinese from Hongkong. They ail do it, before Mosby and since Mosby. It only makes court expenses to the master, as the secretary of the treas ury never, at least hardly ever, fails to remit the fine. Mosby had better be advised from headquarters with res pect to the measurement laws. Capt. Denton, of the W. A-, HolcomI), is the &fcest victim. Original Copy. The Walla Walla Watchman pub lishes the following card from Win.

John Nathaniel Leavitt, is a high-sounding name for a stinking puppy in human shape, who was ar rested yesterday by Chief Barry for gross and indecent exposure of his person. He was summarily disposed of in Justice Turley's court, and in default of bail went to jail to stand his trial in the Circuit Court. His crime consisted of indecencies too beastly for reporting. He says he is a native of Massachusetts but that need not be any excuse for his mean ness, as he is 40 years of age, and ought to know better. There seems to have been a pre meditated arrangement, on the part of somebody, to compel the excursion ists from Astoria (ladies and gentle men), joining the Puget-sound excur sion at Kahuna, to ride over the rail road in cattle cars. The excursion tram passed Carroll's point in sight of the Astoria steamer, ahead of time. Half an hour afterwards the cattle train, without a coach, left Kalama, and on this train the Astoria people were compelled to ride, following the excursionists into Tacoma. We are only too sorry that they did not resent the insult by .refusing to go any farther. It was an outrage, for which there is no proper method of express ing contempt. --.
