Ox next Tuesday, a board of
United States engineers will meet
in this city. The board consists
of Col. Thos. S. Stuart, Lieut.
Col. A. H. Mendell, Lieut.-Col.
Wm,P. Craighill, Lieut.-Cyrus B.
Corjistock and Capt. Chas. F. Pow
ell. They come here to make ex
amination of the bar at the mouth
of the river, and to report upon a
plan for its improvement. They
are also empowered to make esti
mates of the cost of such improve
ments. It will be seen that this
board is invested with considerable
authority and discretionary power.
It is now nearly two years since
Gen. Wright and Major Gillespie
submitted a project to a board of
engineers composed of Z. B.
Tower, John Newton, and Henry
S. Abbott. These gentlemen re
ported adversely upon Messrs.
"Wright and Gillespie's icpoit, and
since then nothing has been done
with the exception of an occasional
spasmodic attempt at "harrowing."
During the last session of con
gress an appropriation of $100,
000 was made for the improve
ment of the Willamette and lower
Columbia, "including the bar at its
mouth." From prominent Port
land sources of information we
learn that that city proposes to
take care of the river lws, and
feels willing to let the 100,000
go to "the bar at its mouth," this
time. An appropriation of 7',000
was also made, to defray the ex
penses of the commission now en
route -for this place.
What we wish to call attention
to is the necessity on the part of
our citi7ens of leetiving these
gentlemen appropiiately, of plac
ing sundry conveniences and
means of information at theirfciis-
posal and'makUig. I heir' stay nrerfl

woulff-le.G?d lastjlJSgtfir.jShy)
attempt at ofueious interference.
something of which we of Astoria
are noted for refraininsr from.
When Henry Villard came through
here eleven months ajo, we all let
him alone, and very likely would
do the same if that gentleman
were at the dock this morning, be
cause he has all his plans fixed up,
and our relations with hi in or his
with us depend entirely as a com
munity on how intimately we enter
into his plans or affect his inter
ests. At present we are of no
more importance to him than to
Arabi Bey; but in the case of this
board of engineers it is different
and airy favors or accommodations
that may be shown them will not
be thrown away.
Set en Kiddles.
The Berlin Academy of Science
is one of the most noted institu
tions of the kind in Europe. Its
members,-though mostly mateiial-
ists, are not wholly composed of
that school of thought, and iome
occupy the middle ground be
tween theism and deism. Amonjr
these is Prof. Reymond. In a late
-address delivered by him on the
"Limits of Natural Science,' he
propounded what he called "The
Seven Riddles of the World,"
riddles which have never been
explained, and which never can
be explained by mechanical laws.
We have never seen a more con
densed amount of metaphysical
speculation than that which he
presents. The first "riddle" is the
nature and essence of matter and
force; second, the origin demotion;
third, ongin of life; fourth, the
apparent design of nature; fifth,
origin of consciousness; sixth, the
origin of national thought and
language; scvcntli, Ihe freedom of'
the will. From the days of Job,
an Arab chief, who lived l.oOO
years before Christ, .tojthe last
meeting of. the Royal college, of
science, these speculations have
been thought over, but never
solved.
.Sensible Reaiark.
A Washington dispatch says
I Gen.Rosecranstoldan interviewing
reporter who asked whether the
Democratic committee had done
anything toward carrying Maine:
"Very few of our 'Oung men aie
so clear headed as to understand
that the franchise is a trust repos
ed in the citizen, and uot an abso
lute right which he exercises at
will. You newspaper writeis
should teach our young men this
and keep driving in thrvidea till it
sticks. Some of our people think
they have a right to sell their
votes and to insinuate that our
committee would use money to
influence voters to do something
which, to say theleat, is not rom
plimentary. A National Educational con
vention now in session at Chicago
is discussing some very inlei opt
ing subjects. The moitifying
statement was made one day last
week that of the voters of this
country thirty-two per cent, an
unable to read the ballots that I hey
cast. The statement is claimed to
be incapable of contradiction. It
is a matter of regret that it pos
sesses any oi tne cieiaenis oi
truth. The perpetuation of this
country's institution- depends
upon education.
Maine holds her state election
next Menday: the legislature to
be elected has the choosing of the
next U. S. Senators. It is consid
ered certain that the legislature
will be Republican, with a proba
bility that the Fusionists will elecL
their governor Plaistcd.
Tin: Republicans carried Ver
mont at the state election held
last Monday. The Democrats
won the day in Arkansas. Maine
comes next: Blaine i stumping
the rftale. " t
