AST01UA. OREGON:
WEDNESDAY. JUNE 29, 1SS1
. C. IUELAXD ,
.Editor.
Ends iii Mexico.
Mr. James B. 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.

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. Never o shopping without oon
