KV MAIL AND THI.HUKAVH.
:;ii'ficIfl Halting I'rirnds Abroad.
London, Jan. 2. A dispatch
from Berlin says that Gew. Gar
field has written to the editor of
the German Review expressing
303 at the cordial relations which
exist between Germain- and the
United States. There seems to be
no real basis for the rumor that
Carl Schurz will be designated by
Gen. Garfield to supersede Mr.
White here.
A Sectional Discussion
San Francisco Call.
Before the civil war there was
no such word as "carpet-bagger"'
in the American vocabulary. The
citizen of one state could move
to another, gain a residence, and
be elected to oilice without any
one questioning the propriety of
the act. Jt is difficult to do so
how. The south is particularly
jealous of seeing her citizens of
northern birth promoted to office,
although they may have lived long
enough in that section to become
thoroughly identified with its in
terests. The south asked for an
appointment on the Supreme
bench, and the President gave it to
W. B. Woods, of Atlanta, Georgia.
Mr. Woods was a Circuit judge in
the south for several years, with
his residence in Atlanta for four
teen or fifteen years. He is a large
stockholder in the Tccumseh Iron
Works, of Cherokee count', Ala
bama, and an operator in other Ala
bama enterprises. Still he was
born in Oho, and there are south
ern citizens who object to him on
that account. The bar of Atlanta
has united in giving him a cordial
ioracment, and is entirely satis
fied that in the appointment of
Judge Woods the President made
a good selection. There is a possi
bility that when the several
vacancies on the Supreme bench,
which are expected soon to occur,
take place, the President will en
deavor to propitiate the fault
finders in the south by giving
them a Supreme judge who has
been southern born.
Jay Gould has purchased the
Denver and South Park railroad,
the purchase money, something
near 2,500,000, having been paid
last week. Jay Gould has been
endeavoring to get control of the
Denver and Rio Grande road, but
has failed through the opposition
of General Palmer, president of
the road, and it is thought the
purchase of the South Park road is
made with a view to dictate the
policy of the Rio Grande.
We have revenged ourselves on
the man who let his liens into our
garden last year. We have pres
ented his wife with a lot of plants
torliich he will have the felicity i
"Muffffinff down the cellar everv
night while frost lasts, and they
will be sure to die about spring-
Jf time.

Chicago Social Events.
NOOIC1S 1JOOT1I.
The residence of A. Booth, Esq.
No. 163S Michigan avenue, was
last eveiug tle scene of a quiet
and elegant wedding says the Tri
bune of the 22d, the purties to
which were his daughter, Miss
Margaret Emma Booth and Mr.
Charles Sheppard Norris. The
number of invitations issued were
Uimitod, and the ceremonv was
witnessed by the relatives and im
mediate friends of the bride and
groom. The large parlors of the
lwuse were handsomely decorated
by Miller, the florist. The chande
liers were hidden beneath festoons
of smilax, and huge baskets and
banks ot flowers, the gifts of
thoughtful friends, were scattered
about iirprofusion. The mantels
bore plateaus of rare floweis work
ed with the initials of the bride
and jrroora. Between the two
parlors was suspended an immense
floral ball, and between the two
front windows hung a unique
floral piece designed by the bride.
It was a large hook and eye, two
feet square, the hook being com
posed of pink carnations and the
eye of white carnations, and be
neath this the twain were made
one.
The ceremony was performed
at 7 o'clock by the Rev. Dr. R. A.
Holland, rector of Trinity Episco
pal church. Messrs. Georgia W.
Murison and Perry Dutcher acted
as ushers, and the bride and groom
were accompanied by Miss Alice
Booth and Mr. Will Booth, brother
and sister of the bride. The bride
was becomingly attired in an clc
jant dress made bv Worth. It
consisted of a white satin skirt
with court train of brocaded satin,
trimmed with pearls and Duchess
lace.
After the ceremony a fine wed
ding supper was furnished by
"Wright, and excellent music was
furnished by Freiberg's orchestra.
The bride and groom received the
congratulations of their friends,
and at 9 o'clock took their depar
ture for a brief trip through the
east. On their return they will
reside at No 1G2S Michigan ave
nue, and will receive their friends
on Jan. 1 and S. They rnecived a
number of handsome presents hist
evening, but they were not dis
played. Among those present at the
ceremony were 15ithop and Mrs.

Socfal Astoria.
Orrfconbui, .Inmutry 1. ls?l.
The ladies of Astoria gave an
invitation leap year ball at Liberty
hall lust night. It was one of the
pleasantest events of the very
social and hospitable "Venire of
America.1" In their duties of re
ception, floor managers and gen
eral arrangements, the ladies in
charge acquitted themselves with
graceful dignity. Although there
has been no marked event this
winter in Astoria's social life, the
city by tlie sea has lost none of
its characteristic social spirit and
hospitality. Among her popula
tion are several itonorubly dis
tinguished families, and very many
persons of social prominence, whose
occasional presence in Portland's
best society is always welcome and
agreeable. The social seas6n at
Astoria comes with the summer
months and the advent of seaside
visitors. Many hundreds can re
call with pleasure her delightfully
breezy August days, and the still
more delightful hospitality of the
people. Astoria picnics always
seem more pleasant than picnics
given by any other people or any
other place; Astoria boating parties
are jollier and more exciting than
such excursions on our beautiful
and clear "Willamct; Astoria din
ner parties seem more social and
less lormai than dinner parties tremes of the clild at Ilb first Echool
elsewhere; Astoria ladies possess composition, and the professional
the charms of beauty and good literature, we have every grade of pre
sense to an extraordinary decree; tcntion, and each professing to have
and we might easily continue the mastered the whole subject. As we
credit account to the length of the aPPfoach the close of this nineteenth
column, but enough is said to
illustrate that Astoria is just the
nicest place and her people just
the nicest people to be found out
side of Portland.
Death ml Albert W. Kinney.
Corr. of the Oregoninu.
Sai.km, Dec. 31. The citizens
of Salem were greatly shocked
this morning to hear of the death
of A. V. Kinney at his residence
in this city. He had been ill for
several weeks, but umtil just be
fore his death hopes were enter
tained of his recovery. All that
medical skill ceuld do was done
but without avaii. Salem is again
called upon to mourn tke loss of
one f its best and most in
fluential citizens; one who indi
vidually has perhaps done more
than any one else te enhance its
interests, and whose enterprise
and public spiritedness has become
proverbial. His life was above
reproach, and he was held in the
highest esteem by all who knew
him. lie did as much as any one
man in Oregon to advance her
commercial interests. His charac
ter was unassailable, and in
his death Salcmls loss will
be kcenir felt. His liberality was
well known, although he never
Het his left hand know what his
rijrht hand did.' Manv a uecdv!
family will recall some charitable
act performed by him just at the
right time. His employes respect
ed him to a man, and the solemn
stillness of the great wheel at the
mill is itself a memento of sorrow,
and amid the New Year's festiv
ities of the capital eity, manv a
word of sympathy will be spoken
as the otherwise joyous participants
think of the one that is gone. The
flag of the state house is at half
mast in respect to his memory.
The funeral took place, yesterday
afternoon at cue o'clock from the
Baptist church.

Horse Kducatinn.
In something we have written say3
the editor of the Farmer, "we have an
indistinct recollection of having made
reference to a general disposition
among boys in their teens, as woll as
boys of mnturer years, to enlighten
ami bless the world with their pro
found knowledge of the horse and his
history. Our looks and newspapers
are full of this kind of literature, and
it varies in style from the production
of the child at school, commencing
with: The horse has four legs and a
tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the
scholar when he quotes from .reb: That
his neck is clothed with thunder and
l"e glory of his nostrils is terrible.
He Binelleth the battle afar off, the
thunder of the captains and the
eemury, we ueiui u iuuh. iui some
thing better in this department of
knowledge from those who assume to
instruct." And it is to be found in
Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent
by mail to any person for twenty-five
cents, postage paid. Apply to The
Astoriax office, or address D. C. Ire
