Eads, who lias just returned from Mexico, con gratulates himself that the conces sions recently made by the Mexi can government in favor of his proposed ship railway across the isthmus of Tehauntepcc are the most liberal that were ever grant ed by that republic. He seems in deed to have got all that he asked for, in most unstinted measure, and with scarcely a manifestation of opposition. The bill was passed unanimously by the chamber of deputies, and with only two dis senting votes in the senate. It is also to be remarked that no ques tion was at any time raised as to the practicability of his scheme. The only objections urged, and they so light as to be of insignifi cant consequence, were to the pol icy of yielding so completely to a foreign countrv the control "and operation ot the works. A more em phatic expression of confidence in the good faith not only of the company, but of the government and people of the United States, it would be difficult to imagine. Mr. Eads will not begin the con struction of the road, however, excepting to'complete the surveys that are in progress, until he se cure the passage of the bill now pending before the American con gress, and which was reported hist winter from the house committee on inter-oceanic canals. The pro vision of this bill ask the govern ment of the United States, for fifteen 'ears, to guarantee six per cent, dividends on $50,000,000, or two-thirds of the capital required to build the road. In return the government is assured of the transportation across the isthmus of its mails, ships of war and other property, free of tolls, and of such discriminations in behalf of Ameri can commerce against all other nations, excepting Mexico, as it may ask. The fate of this bold engineering enterprise depends of course upon the indorsement of the home government, and the bill will no doubt be pressed with great energy at the coming ses sion of congress. The Rogers locomotive works, at Patterson, New Jersey, recently shipped nine locomotives which they built for a Spanish railroad. They are the first American loco motives to 0 to that countrv. A severe storm visited Loup; Island on Monday. Rain very heavy, hailstones large and thun der incessant. A little son of George Terry, while at a window watching the storm, was killed by lightning. Public exhibition of playeards of emigration agents or foreign steamship companies has been pro hibited in Germany, and a bill im peding emigration will be intro duced in the next session of the reichstajj. One of the most remarkable games of base ball on record was played last Sunda, in Louisville, Ky., between the Eclipse of Lou isville and Akrons of Ohio. Nine teen innings were played. On the eighth the score stood two to two, and the club, played eleven more innings without either mak ing a run nightfall compelled them to cease playing. French papers have a dispatch from the emperor of Brazil, May 29th, announcing the discovery of the comet two days before Dr. Gaulds alleged discover'. As tronomers in "Washington say that it is the same comet. This message has not heretofore been published. Gen. Simms telegraphs that he discovered it while camping in Mexico on the 20th of May. Spanish history says that a ship sent to South America in 1800 to collect tribute from the colonies of Spain, was sunk near the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, with 9,000,- 000 aboard. The money is sup posed to lie to-daj' at the bottom of the ocean, in a strong iron safe. An expedition has just sailed from Philadelphia to recover this treas ure. The leader'is Capt. Charles A. Jpnes, who has already made a fortune in the South American wrecking business. He goes in an iron steamship, supplied with ap paratus for removing the deep mud supposed to cover the dollars. "Agricultural" Papers. The Silverton Appeal thinks it l is rather amusinr to read some of the agricultural articles which the practical farmer is supposed to swallow, in Oregon agricultural papers, so called. It says: "Newspaper men who know no more about agriculture than a mule does about geometry, squat themselves down upon the tripod of a farmers paper and grind out the most absurd, ridiculous trash on tilling soil, sowing, etc., that can be imagined; and moreover, they expect farmers of fifteen and twenty years experience to prac tice thier insane, yea, idiotic theo ries. "We know of one man oc cupying the position of editor on a newrecruit to the field of agri cultural journalism who can't even distinguish oats from barley in a field side bj' side when headed out. The only recommendation his paper has to the public is its ex treme cheapness, and if intelligent farmers want cheap literature, now is the time to invest." The same words should be applied to com mercial sheets whose editors know nothing of commerce; and to those editors who are continually harping upon the financial affairs of men of business, while they themselves never get enough cap ital ahead to buy more than one bundle of paper at a time. Monday evening Jack Mathews went int Borthwick & McKinnons at Cascade locks and asked for a loan of $2 oO. Upon Borthwicks refusal, Mathews became very abusive, and Borthwick attempted to put him out, when Mathews drew a knife and cut him twice in the side. Both wounds are dancrerous. Russell McCoy, one of the de scendants of the Bounty muti neers, has been in England, where he received considerable attention, lie is now on his way back to Pitcairn island, having taken pas sage on the ship Harvey Mills, bound from Liverpool to San Francisco, the captain having made arrangements to call at the island to land him. Returns of the recent census of London, shows that the city lias gained in ten years rGO,000 in population, which is more than 110,000 more than the gain in the pieceding ten years. An increase of more than a million in twenty 3'ears is the sign of a prosperous citv. None of the other areat cities of England have increased more during the past ten 3'ears than during the ten years pre ceding. One of the heaviest rain and wind storms ever known accom panied by hail, passed over Kansas host Friday night. Five inches of water fell during the nig-ht and re ports since say that a section of the country ten miles wide and twenty long was flooded. Thou sands of acres of wheat, corn and oats were destroyed. Prairie grass was mown clean and orchards stripped of their fruit. Wheat just stacked was soaked through and through. Maivy buddings were seriously injured. Only one death is reported. Another storm, near ly as severe, swept over about the same section Saturday night. Mr. Evarts has written home from Paris tliat the monetary con ference will undoubtedly prove a failure. There will be little dis appointment over the result. The British delegates went into the conference with their hands tied and their minds made up while nothing but the hope of finding a market for her superflu ous silver induced Germany to ioin in the proceedings. But whatever may be the issue of the conference, it is imperative that we should work out for ourselves a solution of the problem under de bate. Wc are still by acts of congress, coining two inifffon silver dollars every mouth, which are nearly all deposited in the vaults of the treasury. This can not long continue without serious consequences. The July number of the Califor niau, just out, is one of the Guest specimens of typographical art over issued on this coast. As to its con tents, it is more attractive than ever. The proprietors advertise that they propose to double their subscription list in the next sixty days, and for a limited period they are giving away handsome books to new subscribers. Get the July number, and read their announcement. Blankst Promissory notes, bonds for deed, quit claim deeds, mortgages and warranty deeds, at tills office. Referring t& the visit of Bishop Haven at Astoria, the Republican says: "oisuop iiavuu spent tne rat- batlx at Astoria, where his labors were highly appreciated. He speaks with hopefulness of the work there, and, in co-operation witli the pastor, Rev. John Parsons, he has succeeded in putting the new church enterprise into form assuring its early comple tion.
