Newspaper Page Text(2) glxe Srutij storlnu. ASTORIA. OREGON: TPJDAY -TAX. 7, 1SS1 .C. IUELAXlt Editor. The twinkling of the stars is .generally admitted to be due to moisture in the upper air. M. .Monti ngy, in a paper published in .Les MonuVs, holds that very pro nounced twinkling of the stars in dicates either commotion in the upper regions of the atmosphere or a sudden fall of temperature there, thus denoting the condi tions of an early appearance of liad weather. Every now and then some Xew England peion delivers a lecture in which he tells the American people exactly what they ought to do. The average New England lecturer cannot understand what the world would do without his ail vice. One of these oracles says that if Mr. Garfield would satisfy the nation, that is, New England; lie must make his cabinet to cor respond with the names which he, the lecturer; proposes. He does not exactly name Whittier for secretary of war, but comes as near to such nonsense as he ran. That notorious fraud, Roehefort, is again making a noise and large ly infesting the French newspa pers with his gasconade. He re cently sent a challenge to the edi tor of the Voltaire and violently denounces Girardin, Pessard, Gam betta and others in his pet aver sions. Jt has come out that in 3S71 Roehefort wrote a letter to Gainhetta repudiating all connec tion with Ihe commune, and in consequence of this Louise Michael, the female communist, who lately returned from New Caladonia, has proclaimed him a traitor. The boers of Transvaal in south Africa are engaged in a hopeless --war for independence. The term boer designates the Dutch settlers, or fanners, who originally settled near the cape, but moved back into the interior to ret out of British jurisdiction. They inhabit a country about 400 miles square, between twenty-two degrees and twenty-eight degrees, south lati tude, where they set up a republic. Three years ago the British con fedration of south Africa was ex tended over their country, and they are now at war to re-establish an independent government. The Dom Pedro II railroad is the largest, with perhaps one ex ception the most important, in Brazil. The total length of the main line is 395 miles, and ex ten sions are made almost every year. The road was commenced under the management of an incorporat ed company, interest of 7 per cent on the capital stock being guaran teed by the government. But in .building the first portion of the road it was necessary to cross the mountains near Rio and by the time 100 miles were completed the capital was entirely exhausted In 1SC5 the government bought the road of the stockholders, and it has since been run as a branch of the imperial service. On the invested capital of rather more than 40,000,000 the government realizes an average income of 5i per centum yearly. The St. Louis Republican, calls attention to an interesting decision Tecently rendered by the United States Supreme-court in the case of a creditor agaiust the town of Louisiana, in the state of Missouri. A statute provides that no city, ' -town or county bonds, shall be Tralid unless registered in the oflice of the state auditor, but the local . officials antedated the bonds so that the statute should not be ap plicable to them. AVhen payment -was demanded it was refused, on the ground that the issue of the bonds were void. The National -Supreme-court decides that the holder has an equitable claim against the city for his money. In other words, a city shall not be allowed to keep the money obtain ed fraudulently by its own officials. -Justice and law have agreed this time. George Eliot. In tin dfatli nf Mrs. Cross. I George Eliot; the literary world! sustains a great loss. Ever since ; her first appearance in literature, forty years; her works have been w i admitted to be among the best in ' i the English language. Then, as. Marion Evans, when only twenty , years of age she went to Loudon I with the intention of earning her livelihood by her pen. She was received at once among the con tributors to Blackwood's Magazine and her first eflqrts, Scenes from Clerical Life, attracted much at tention. Since then her fame has been constantly increasing. The! rare analytical pow-r of her mind and her philosophical tastes have marked her as an unusual member i of her sex. She has been ranked j among the first ef novelists of all countries and times, and most en-! tics unite in placing her at the I head of all English novelists Soon after she went to London she met George Henry Lewes, the emi nent writer on philosophical sub jects. Their tastes were similar and an attachment soon sprung up between them. But Mr. Lewes' wife was insane and according to English law he could not get a divorce from her. Both he and ft Miss Evans believed that in every thing except the mere letter of the law he and his wife were separated. It was impossible to have a legal ceremony performed; so, in the presence of witnesses they ex changed vows of eternal fidelity, and from that time until his death two years ago, they were popular ly regarded as married. About a year ago she vvas married to Mi. Walter Cross, a Liverpool merchant and a native of Boston, a gentle man of only half her age. Her connection with Mr. Lewes was peculiar, and has created much comment which will doubtless be called out again in the notices of her death. But whatever the opinions expressed in relation to it, of one thing there can be doubt, that it was a purer and more genu ine union than many a marriage solemnized according to legal and clerical form in church and temple. Damned if Vou Do, and Damned if You Don't. OrrgOMliiH. Loud complaints were made when, some weeks ago, Sara Bern hardt landed at New York from the same ship that brought over Mrs. Lincoln Bernhardt receiving an immense ovation wliile the widow of the great president came on shore unnoticed except by a few personal friends. The able editors and great preachers spoke of the contrast as a disgrace to our country; and perhaps it was. But the thing happened in the most natural way in the world. Not twenty persons in New York knew that Mrs. Lincoln was on board the vessel, as publicity had been purposely avoided, while as a mat ter of business thousands of dollars had been spent by theatrical man agers in advertising the arrival of the actress. It now becomes known that the customs official at New York whose duty it was to examine the baggage of passen gers, becoming aware of Mrs. Lincoln's presence, declined to open her trunks of course as a matter of courtesy or mark of re spect for the widow of the illustri ous President; and for doing that thing the official has been dis missed from the service. And some of the journals that said it was a shame that Mrs. Lincoln was not accorded a fitting reccp tion have returned to the subject to say that the official the only man who showed any courtesy at all was properly dismissed. There are critics of the press who are hard to please. About a j'car ago Senator Jones had a chance to buy the Robert E. Lee mine for $300,000, and it has since yielded a clear profit of 1,250,000. The Virginia Chroni cle thinks likely that Jones was in the fix of the man who had a chance to buy the state of Texas for a pair of boots and didn't. The Texas man didn't happen to have the boots.
