OrsTERVii.1.1:, Jan. 23, 1882.BJ Euitei: Abtobiax : Tins morning the inhabitants of this quiet little town were awakened by tho hidoous howling of a whistling buoy, which has been washed from its proper place of residence, supposed to bo from near tho mouth of tho Colum bia rivor, and seatod its noble self in tho ocean, opposite here, and about two miles offshore. To say that they were wondci -struck is only a mild way of expressing it. None could solve the mystery. Each seemed to liave a dif ferent opinion of its origin or where abouts. Ono man, for instance, arose, jumped into his clothes, and rushed around the coi ner to see if it, were not some one in distress. After iollon ing the noise from house to house he re turned home none the Lser for his search. Some thought it Indians lamenting their dead. Another took up his good old cow-horn and started off "over the hills and far away," stopping at intorvals to blow and hol ler, thinking to find some one in great distress. On he went blowing and hollering until he leached tho ocean beach, and there, on looking seaward, beheld the object of his search, but not in distress, as he expected but jumping and hollering just the same as if he had not blowed to it all the way out there. Another thought it to be a hugo owl, nnd with gun in hand went over the hill to slay tho monster. He found the hoot but not the owl, not oven any tracks; he returned, but not as he wont, full of expectation, but sadly disappointed itt not finding his game. To tell the opinion of all would take moie time than it did to Bolve the mystery. . S. J. F. Bamboo for Oregon. Tho American Consul-Gcneral at Shanghai has latoly sent twenty boxes of bamboo cuttings for transplanting in Oregon. He writes to tho State Department that in the Chinese Em pire, south of the Yang-tzo, about sixty varieties of bamboo are said to grow, although five or six furnbh the princi pal materials used. At Foochow and Swatow the large 8ize grows 40 to 50 feet high and C and 7 inches diameter; on the island of Formosa it is fonnd even larger. The bamboo serves at least five hundred different purposes in China. Tho toots aio carved into image?, knteni handles,-and canes; the taper ing culms are used for every conceiva ble place where poles and ribs can be put; the leaves are worked into thatches, umbrellas and screens; cut into splits, the wood is woeu into baskets, plaited into awnings, "and twisted into cables; the shavings stuff pillows; other parts supply chop-sticks for eating, bods for sleeping, brooms for sweeping, pipes for smoking, fuel for cooking, skewers for the hair, paper for writing, rods for whipping, tables to cat on, buckets for water drawing, and the tender shoots are highly esteomed as a vegetable to be eaten. Tho Consul-Gcneral urges the natu ralizing of the-baraboo in the Southern States and on the Pacific coast. There is a wonderful scat city of white help in Astoria.

A Letter from Capt. Starrett. To tiir EniTon of The Astobiax, Sin: I notice in the Oregonian of Jan. 21st.. an article on the Colum bia River Bar. in which he says, "The "Burgess"' 'case seems to be morely the fear of a ship master that a vessel drawing twenty-one feet cannot pass through a twonty-threo foot channel, whero tho practicability of the passage has l)ten demonstrated a ecoro of times, and within a wook under our owu observation.', Next, ho hays, "With a depth of twenty-three feet on tho bar, at mean high tide, a ship drafting twenty-one feet need not hesitate to enter." I do not know tho editor of tho Oregonian, and I can not think he is acquainted with me, as I have only visited this porf but once before and then did not take my ship to Portlandj and I am at a loss to understand why he should attribute the long stay of tho "Burgess," off this port solely to my timidity, while at the same time, vessels drawing only thirteen feet have remained outside twenty-three days, with a pilot on board, and snveral days with a fair wind to enter. As 1 said above, I have not the pleasure of his acquaint ance, but if he is a gentleman, he will apologize for this slander. Evidently, ho does not know what he is talking about. Any ship master on the Pa cific Coast will tell him thut a ship twenty-one feet deep 'cannot j.ass through a twe'nty-threo foot channel. On tho 18th day of December, 1874, I left this port in the ship "Frank N. Thasor," drawing twenty-one feet and six inches; at that time there nas thirty feet of water on the bar. The ship in passing out, an tick four times very heavy, and barely escaped sink ing outside, as other skips have done. Now this gentleman wishes to inform me, and other ship masters, that twenty-one feet dr.if t can pass through a twenty-three foot channel. I did not fear the tugs lacked ponei; on the contrary, the greatest fear was that the hawser, though it was only three weeks old, Rnd a 11-inch one, would part. Tho tug that toned my ship in hud to slow down to pievent this accident, though she had 130 fathoms. The "Vesuvius,, is still outside, drawing tfnly nineteen feet. She has been there during all the last high tides with several fair winds to enter. Why does she not come in? "Timidity of her master," though she has an experienced pilot on board. The Reporter is still "outside, draft 2U feet. On Saturday, tho day I camo in, tno strain lugs went to him. The bar was as smooth, and some say Binoother, than ivhen m) sbipcauie in; still he did not come. Perhaps this gentleman will be kind enough to inform the public why the Colum bia, drawing eighteen feet, re mained at Astoria fie days waiting for a chance to Ret over tho bar. lie mentions tho Beecroft passing jut safely,, but takes good care to say nothing of the Rainbow that went out about the same time drawing 19 feet and striking several times. But it is useless to argue a point with a man that knows nothing about the subject on which he is talking. Any ship master on the Pacifio coast will inform the gentleman that a 21 foot ship can not pass through a 23 foot channel. 1 also notice the follewing: "The American bark Vesuvius whieh put into Puget Sound a fo days ago, left for the Columbia river again and was reported outside yesterday. The o n era, very much dissatisfied with Capt. Call's action, discharged him, and the vessel came around under a new master." Capt. C.dl is still in the bark and will remain in her. Will the gentleman correct that slander? Respectfully, H. A. Stakkictt. For Sale. An English retrieier, M trained, and invaluable to any one wanting a good hunting dog. Inquire of.
