J C2) SJTxc .Dnolg stcvsaju ASTORIA. OREGON : But very few people, when they see the bamboo growing in the luxurious gardens of Mr. S. Gr. Reed and. otliqrs in Portland, will give the matter more than a pass ing thought, but there is in it very much for suggestive ideas. When we look upon a stalk of bamboo, growing in Oregon, we at once think of that distinguished Ore nian, Judge O. N. Denny, who was transplanted a few years since in China, and we are reminded of the very many and great advantages he has proven to be to China, and o the favors he has extended to his own beloved Oregon. The ex periment of growing the bamboo in Oregon is of course an experi ment, but as Cap. Humphreys would remark: "We begin to experienced that we must ex perience;" as we look upon it. Then again to quoto the Albany Senator (not Conkling nor Piatt), with reference to Asteria: AC It is the longest town I ever saw." So with the bamboo, it is the tallest of grasses. We would not bamboo zle anybody by referring to it, but we do feel a pride in the facts, as stated by the Standard, which says: "Two of the bamboo plants sent here by Consul Denny from China were planted in the grounds of Mr. S. G. Reeds residence. They have each sent up shoots which at present are nearly three feet in hight, but do not look very thrifty. It is hardly probable that this plant, the largest species of grass; will, even if able to with stand our winters, ever attain its growth here. In its native soil it is one of the most rapid-growing grasses known, attaining a hight of twenty feet and a circumference of ten inches in two months. From its lightness, toughness and elsis ticity it is invaluable to the east ern countries, supplying the place of the eak, pine, ash, etc. From it they construct their houses, fences and gates, their chairs and lounges, spars and masts for their ships, and crafts for fishing. From the shoots, they form tobacco pipes and from the larger ones opium ,pipes, and even pipes for convey ing water. The tender shoots are eaten as asparagus and ma'de into pickles and preserves. In seasons of scarcity a coarse bread is made from the seeds. The leaves are steeped for medicine, and salves and ointment made from the roots. It is used as a switch to punish him in childhood and applied as a bastinado on his punishment in riper years, in fact from infancy to old age, the oriental man and the bamboo are inseparable compan ions, and without it he sinks into degradation and poverty." Lewiston is going to get into the ring of the opponents of Vil lards syndicates, by threatening to do a big thing themselves in the way of railway construction. We hope they may win, but a hundred million dollars is a big pile for a short limbed community to strad dle. "Win. Reid has sold his interest in the Salem Flouring mills and resigned his position as President. Hon. Ashel Bush of Salem has been elected to succeed him. Mr. Bush is a live, enterprising and industrious business man, and what ever he entersintois sure-of' success. Salem is again likely to have the head of its largest in dustry at home. Gen. Mart. V. Brown, former proprietor of the Albany Demo crat, now at the Lower Soda springs, is gradually wasting away with consumption. His left lung is now entirely useless and an ab cess is forming on the right lung and when it breaks he will prob ably pass away. His time is very short for this world, and he is fully aware of his condition, but does not seem to dread the final end. His wife is nearly worn out with weary- watching, but feels very thankful to all kind friends who have given her assistance in her Tiour of need. The comet has died away into the etherial regions so far as to be almost hid from view, and in a few days more it will pass away to be viewed by won dering eyes no more, "until the year 3727 cabalistic figures for .Mother Shipton Zo. 2.

The Standard says: "It is re ported that the steamer Columbia was quarantined on, account of a case of hmall-pox on board. The party af flicted with this disease was said to have been taken at Astoria." The name of this man, as we learn from a San Francisco dispatch, was 0. B. Andrews. We have made diligent in quiry, but cannot find out from whence he came. He might have come from Puget-sound, or a thou sand other places; we are quite sure he never lived at Astoria, and we hope that Capt. Van Oterendorp and Mr. Prescott will aid us in finding who the man is, who aro his friends, where he did live, etc. S35-A11 citizens of Oreaon who tlesire to inform their friends in the states of the condition and progress of this state, can have no more complete and compre hensive volume of facts to send them than by subscribing for this journal, and Ravine us mail It weekly to their friends.
