Ono of the fishing boats that left here on the 10th inst., arrived at San Irancisco, last Jmday. J lie men say thoy "wouldn't caro to try it again." The other boat has not been heard of .since leaving Coos Bay. W. W.

Di vine service by the same pastor in the upper Astoria school house at 0 r. m. The O. R. & N. Co. filed articles of incorporation in Olympia on the 22d, the same that were filed in tliis state 8omo time ago, incorporating thoir road from clla Walla, to con ncct with their line from T'matilla tc Raker City. The result of the stirring of the sands of St. Helen's bar, by the Walla Walla, has been tho deepening of that portion of it di rectly under her propeller. The re sult is considered to justify the con tinuance of the work. Attention is directed to the ad vertisement of A. Van Dnsen & Co., who announce their intention to close out their stock of dry goods and lay in a laigc stock of groceries :uid ship chandlery. They mean exactly what they Ray, and bargains can be pro cured in their line. The walls of the new building across the street are slowly rising, and beforo long will make their appearance . .ihovo the level of the street. When ! lho building is completed I. W. Case will occupy the lower portion of it asj a bank; during the process of build ing a vault-will bo constructed for that purpose. Two Men Diowned cm tne Bar. The Gen. 3Iilc3 left Astoria y ester- ; day at half past twelve with men and j material for J. W. Umno's cannery I J. W. IIumo'6 cannery I Gray's harbor. Thirteen boats jv.ere towed behind the tug, in a string, Some of the fishermen chose to ride ! in their boats. Cant Whitcomb dc- cided to cross out through the north ! channel which appeared quite mootli 'when approaching. When near the , two mid-channel buoys, and running under a Mow bell, a weaker unex pectedly caused the last boat to sheer to one side, and when the tow-line tightened again the boat capsized in stantly and the two men in her. An drew Johnson and another, name un known, were lost. The men in the next boat were signaled by all hands to cut the line so a3 to give the diown- ing men a chance for their lives, but in the excitement they were unable to do so until the boat had gone some distance, and the struggling men were only a few moments among the waves. It was impossible- for the tug to turn around at that time without endan gering the lives nf all in the boats. The tug I'renham being near by, was hailed and sent to rescue the men if possible. She went over the place where the accident oecured and made every efl'ort.to find the men and then leporled that nothing c-uld be found bat the boat. As soon as the MiUj got outside, all the fishermen were taken on board. Gapt. Whitcomb deemed it unadvis able to proceed on the trip with tho boats in tow and decided to loturn by the south channel. While crossing in four more boats were swamped and lost. The Miles arrived back at S:J0 last evening. Council! Proceedings. The City council met last evening and transacted considerable business. jThe proposition of I). P. Thompson, to erect and maintain water-woiks in the city of Astoria, was reported ou favorably by the committee, and, with jsome modifications, passed upon affir matively by tne council. .The change was in reference to the matter of ex- empti on from taxation, and the ten year limit: both matters, it is thought can be arranged to tho mutual satis faction of the contracting parties. A proviso was also introduced that the water to be furnished should be from a pure stream and should be conveyed from a point above tide wa ter. A piopositiou from two San Fran ciscans to put up gas woiks at this place, was laid before the council and referred to the proper committee. The matter of municipal jurisdiction con cerning the roadway was then dis cussed, but no final action in the mal lor. After transacting some minor business the council adjourned. Adventme3 of a Buckeye. Early last week a young man from Ohio struck the town broke and finding no congenial employment, shipped on board the filengarry, lie didn't know the mizzen mast from tho jib boom but got his advance, and when the Rrunham was swinging alongside, onr Buckeye friend slid over the vessel's side and struck out for tho shore. Scrambling up tho beach he lit out for the timber. Pur suit seemed useless and the Glengarry went to sea minus an able Ohio sea man. About half past eleven last night tho modern Leander slipped in the of fice and wanted to know if the Glen garry had "got out.' We assured him that she had. ''Well, said tho member from Ohio, "I'm all right. Pm the fellow that swum ashore, and Pin thirty dollars ahead." And he went forth into the dark and voiceless night. We predict a brief but bril liant career for the gentleman from Ohio. The British bark Glengarry went to sea 3'esterday afternoon. Some time ago we published an item relative to a fifteen pound chunk of basalt, which was blown from the surface of the water to the top of the light hou3c on Tillamook rock. Tho idea of such weight being lifted to that height -10 feet was a little surprising to many of our exchanges: we are assured by Messrs. Itowc and Collin?, that such was actually the case, ind that the fragment of a pale ozoic age which has attracted the at tention of jo many in our office is simply one of many such chunks that arc lifted to the top of tho tower when winds and waves sweep wildly over lonely Tillamook. -Mocha coffee, at A.

Novelties in Foster's. household articles at San guine Villard. In a letter to some of Portland's business men, dated New York, Aug. ah, 1882. Henry N lllard says t th, 1862. Henry lllard says: hen 1 last had the plo sure of meeting you, in the fall, I had but just emerged from a moineutuous struggle in which Portland had so much at stake. I re- for to the most important stop in tho pursuit of my plans, viz., tho union of the control of the Oregon Railway and Navigation and Noithern Pacific companies. I had hardly returned to the east, when I had to confront new and even more serious complications. Jealousy, fear, malice, falsehood, ig norance, greed and corruption were at woik against our inteiests in congress and in Wall street for many mouths with the determined persistence. Coupled with this there came the dan gerous and long-continued depression of railroad securities which termi nated but a short time since. I am pleased to say, and you will no doubt be pleased to learn, that we have tri umphed over all our enemies and overcome every trouble. The law legarding the Northern Pacific land grant remains .untouched. The work of construction, even in the most anxious times, has never flagged on any of our lines. Through trains will surely run over the whole length of the Northern Pacific long before the close of the present year. The entire construction programme of the Oregon Railway and Navigation, Ore gon and Transcontinental and Oregon and California companies will be car ried out to the letter. AbtiBe m Place of Argument- 'If ou find that you have no case," the old lawyer is reported to have said to the young, "abuse the plain tiff's attorney," and Judge G rover of New York, used to say that it appa rentby was a great relief to a lawyer who had lost a ca;c, to betake him self to the nearest tavern and swear at the court. Abuse, in any event seems to have been regarded by both of these authorities as a consolation in defeat. It i but carrying the theory a step further to re3ort to abuse in argument. Tinion, who is a club cynic- which is. perhaps the most useless specimen of humanity says that 'pon his honor, nothing enter tains him more than to see how little argument goes to the discussion of any question and how immediate is the recourse to blackguardism. "Tho other day,'" he said recently. "I was sitting in the smoking room, and Blunt and Sharp began talking about yachts. Sharp thinks he knowa all that can be known of yachts, and Blunt thinks that what he thinks is unqualified truth. Sharp mado a strong assertion and Blunt smiled. It was that lofty smile of amused pity and superiority, which is, 1 sup pose, very oxasperating. Sharp was evidently surprised, but he continued and at another observation Blunt looked at him and said simply, "Ri diculous! "As it seemed to me," said Timon, "lho stronger were the re marks of Sharp, the more Blunt' tone changed from contempt to anger, until ho came to a torrent of vituper ation, wider which Sharp retired from the room with dignity. "I presume." said the cynic, "that Sharp was correct upon every point, But the more correct Sharp was, th more unary ltlunt became, it was very entertaining, and it seems to me very much the way of more serious discussion." Timon was certainly right, and those who heard hisiemarks and have since then seen him chuck ling over the newspapers, nro confi dent it is, because he observes in them the same methods of carrying on dis cussion. Much public debate recalls the two barbaric methods of warfare," which consist in making a loud noise, and in emitting vile odore. A mem ber of congress pours out a ilood of denunciatory words in tho utmost rhetorical confusion, and seems to suppose he has dismayed his oppo nent because he ha3 made a tremen dous noise. He is only au overgrown boy, who,like some other boys, im agines that he is very heroic when he shakes Ins head and pouts his lip, and clenches his fist, and "calls names, in a shrill and rasping tone. Other members, who ought to know better, pretend to regard his performances as wormy ol appiau.se, aim uieiupiionc- ally pat him on theback and crv" 'Si, , ,,, ., , . j" - boy! I hey only share -and in a greater degree, became they know better the contempt with which hcj is regarded. T .. . .at. ..;.,. to tiicaaiuu o . i.un... " attacks Views WJUCll are HOI accept- , . able t Hint, not win: annuiiem. or satire, or wit, or direct refutation, but by metaphorically emptying slop3 and directing whirlwinds of bad smells upon their supporters. The intention seems to be, not to confute the arguments but to disgust the ad- i vocntes. Tho proceeding is a confea- sion that tho views are so evidently correct that the3 will inevitably pre vail unless their supporters cm be driven awaj This is an ingenious policy, for guns certainly cannot be served if the gunnec are dispersed. SIcii shrink from ridicule and ludri crous publicity. However conscious of rectitude a man may be, it is exceed luglr disagreeable for him to see tho dead walls and pavements covered with posters proclaiming that he is a i liar and a fool. If he recoils, the enemy laughs in triumph; if he is in different, there is a fresh whirlwind. A public man wrote recently to a t friend that he had seen :in .iltack nn- , . . . , .. . ,',! on ln-t conduct in a public journal and j had nkwi hi lawyer to take the m-c- J vssaiy logul steps to bring the offender i to justice. Hi.s friend replii-d that he had seen the attack, but that it had no more effect upon him thai ilm smells from Newtown creek. Thev were very disgusting but that was all. This is the inevitable lcsult of black-gnardism. The newspaper read er, as he sees that one uiin Mipports one measure because his wife's unelo is interested in it, ami nuother man ! another measure to gratify hii gnidtio against a rival, gradually learns from hi3 daily morning mentor that there is no such thing as honor, decency, or public apirit in publicaft'iiis; he chuck les with the club cynic, although for a very different reason, and forgets the . , e i i i - I contents of one column as he begins upon the next. If a man covers his milk toaat, his breakfast, -his lunch. dinner and supper, with a coaling or I Cayenne pepper, the pepper becomes as things in general became to .Mr. Toots of no consequence. This kind of fury in personal de nunciation is not force, ad young wri ters suppese: it is feebleness: Wit, satire, brilliant sarcasm, are, indeed, legitimate weapons. It was these which Sydney Smith wielded in the early IMiahnrh H'tiav. Hut "call ing names," and echoing the common places of allectcd contempt, tint is too weak even for Timon to chuckle over, is an evidence of mental vacu ity. The real object in honest con troversy is to defeat your opponent and leavo him a friend. lut the Newtown creek method is fatal to such a result. Of course that meth od often apparently wins. But it al ways fails when directed against a res olute and carne.it purpose. Tho great causes persist through seeming defeat to victory. Hut to oppose them with sneers and hlackgmrdism is to affect to dam Niagara with a piece of paper. The crafty old law yer auviscu the younger to reserve his abuse until he felt tliaL ho hid no case. Judge (I rover rem-irkcd th.it it wns when the ease was lost that tho profanity began. Ediiors JiiMi CVieiY, in Jfarper for Sfjdrni bcr. Another Wonderful Ii.eovery!
