"All the producers require is steamboat navigation from the headwaters of the Columbia aud Willamette to Astoria. They have no money to spend to gratify the ambition of Portland, and this city iust protect its own future.'' Willamette Farmer. They require that, and a good deal more. They require that the entrance to the river be so im proved that vessels of any size may safely enter. The grain in terests of Oregon have now reach ed that magnitude that the ques tion is how to transport the great est amount of grain for a given price. The question is which shall it be, Columbia river or Puget sound? The present pull-docr-pull-devil style of handling the grain of the northwest can not obtain. It is a question that is of the most vital importance to every producer in this region. "Tariff." At the southern point of Spain, and running out into the straits of Gibraltar, is a promontory, which, from its position, is admirably adapted for commanding the en trance to the Mediterranean, and watching the exit and entrance of all-ships. A fortress stands upon this promontory, called now, as it was also called in the Moorish domination, "Tarifa." It was the custom to watch all merchant ships going into or coming out of the midland sea, and issuing from this stronghold, to levy duties ac cording to a fixed scale on all mer chandise passing in and out. And this was -called, from the place where it was levied, tarifa; and from this comes our word tariff. -New .Idea. The Bey of Tunis may be a -" gray barbarian," and away be hind the rest of the world; but he has his little ideas all the same. He has recently displayed consid erable recklessness by starting a newspaper in his capital, hut is to be excused by reason of the ad mirable ingenuity he has displayed. In the prospectus the courtly monarch announces that every - sunscriber shall, in turn, edit the ' papery During the time that said subscrjber does this he will be sure of suiting himself, at other times the matter will bo decidedly problematical. We await, with interest, further advices from jjTjiims. It may for aught we know, ,be a little advertising dodge on the part of the Tunisian Bord of Immiffration. : Tpr. arrest of Parr.ell, the Erin agitator, has been followed by the arrest of John Dillon and others, .most prominent in the land league. A Dublin dispatch says that there is iurfearbf -a popular outbreak, as the hearts of the mass of people are not in favor of such a move- ment.-. The Gazette publishes a proclamation signed by Forster, chief secretary, warning persons guiltj' of intimidating others not to pay rentSjOr-coercing them to aban don their lawful employment, or to join the land league, will be liable to arrest. Patrick Effan, treasurer-of the Irish National Laud League, telegraphs from Paris: "We call upon every Irish nationalist and every friend of-liberty, justice and humanity, to stand by us in the com- lngo; crisis. Altough further arrests and even, wholesale slaugh .iitenjofpthe. Irish people is deter mined by the Gladstone ministry, our banner will be borne onward. Landlordism is doomed, and Brit ish rule in Ireland has seen the i Abeginnuigofiits endi" ' It has been always thought that our own favored land offered the greatest inducements for emigra tion, but Vis left to the town of Klinginberg in Germany to dis count the most "glowing statement that any State colonization society ever made. It is alleged that in that lavorea municipality mere are no taxes, and such is the satis- factorv condition of the eitv fund I that each voter receives an annual dividend of 22.50. This is even better than can be done in Astoria. Referring to the that the Michigan sufferers be given the mourning emblems now over every door in the land, an ex change says: "A Michigan suf ferer clad-in white cambric panta loons and black alpaca overcoat digging himself out of the winter's snow would be more picturesque than comfortable but he'd keep up his reputation as a sufferer." The current Indian literature is not so exciting as in the earlier summer months. The discreet aboriginal will soon betake himself to the sheltering vicinity or the agency and, after fattening up and resting during the winter, will be in srood condition to make it inter esting for the Government in the spring. The Willamette Farmer de serves a good word from us for its common sense editorials. Like man' other sensible people its publishers do not believe in villifi cation nor in abusive personalities, and wc are glad to see evidences of prosperity in our fair-minded contemporary. Jeff Davis is traversing Kng land as a book agent, and that portion of the people over there who sympathized with him a few years back now declare that never was known such ingratitude. Wir. G. Morris, of Cal., has been confirmed as collector of customs for Alaska. The Sandwich. Islands. Mr. William Armstrong, the Attorney-General nf Kiug Kala- I kaua, of the Hawaiian islands, says that the native element of the islands is dying out, and that one object of the King's travels throughout the world is to secure other people to take the place of the natives. Neither Englishmen nor Americans are looked for, be cause it is the opinion of the King and his legal advisers that the' are not physically fitted to endure the tropical climate. A strong ob jection, so far, however, as Ameri cans are concerned, is that they would not be long in the country in any considerable force before they would want to run it after their own fashion. It is said that of all the men who have been ex amined as to their qualifications, the Portugese settlers in the Azores seem to be the most satis factory. Fifteen hundred of these have been secured, and a thousand more have been ordered. Detroit Iree Press. 'Another Pioneer Gone." Crete has lost its oldest inhabi tant, Konstantinos Artos, a. latidnd proprietor, at the age of 118. This gentleman in his early youth fol lowed the plough and herded oxen fer a wealthy miller, whose; only daughter insisted on marrying him before he had completed his nine teenth year.. She brought him a good dowry in land and cattle, which enabled him to commence farming on his own account ex actly a century ago. Since the year of 1781 he has lived upon his small estate, except when political troubles have compelled him to seek safety in flight from the wrath of the Turkish authorities. Of the ten sultans in whose regions he lived he fought, against six in ineffectual endeavors to achieve his countries independence, and was four times proscribed, banish ed aud pardoned. He married and buried five wives, and sur vived all his sisters and brothers, nephews and uncles, and eleven of his own. children. His faculties were unimpaired down to the very day of his death, and only last year, having been elected maj'or of .his village, he fulfilled all his municipal functions with unabated activity and intelligence. Ex. says: A scheme to turn Niagara still fur- ther into commercial profit is be ing realized. The canal was or iginally constructed in 1850, at a cost of $250,000. It debouches from the river above the falls, and discharges into the reservoir below them, being about three-quarters of a mile in length. Its dimen sions are about 35 feet in width by 10 feet in depth; but a nw com pany have land enougli secured to enlarge it to 100 feet wide. The new company bought the old un dertaking "at a mere sonf. They have nearly completed a wheel pit not far from the lower extremity of the present reservoir, 40 feet long by 20 feet wide, sunk in the solid rock, from which a tunnel, 10 feet by 0 feet, has been bored for dis charging the waste into the river. The water is led from the reservoir to the wheels hy huge iron pipes. The total available head is about 220 feet. The last issue of the English Contemporary Review contains a paper from Professor Goldwin Smith on the tariff question, which has recently been the subject of an animated controvers in the press and on the hustings in Eng land. The Professor, though a member of the Cobden Club, takes up the cudgels in bekalf of "fair trade" as against "free trade." lie tells the English people, in sub stance, that their pretence of be-ino- a free trade nation has never been more than a fraud, inasmuch as tLiisiaua raises iw,uuu,uuu annually by customs duties, which are, and always have been, dis criminative in favor of English goods. The English, he says, have rejrulated their tariff according to what they thought to be their own interests, as have people of other countries. The transit of Mercury will oc cur on the 7th of next November. The large telescope in the Lick Observatory will be ready for use at that time, and upon that occa sion it will probably perform its first work, ft is a 12-inch tele scope, and, although small com pared with that which has been ordered by the trustees, it is the largest on the Pacific coast.
