The New Postal Order.
The new postal note or money or
der for tho transmission of sums leES
than 5, just authorized by Congress,
in accordance with the recommenda
tion of the postmaster-general made
two years ago, will be found of great
convenience to the people. Tho order
costs but three cents, is obtained with
out any written application, and is
made payable to bearer at. tho office
on which it is drawn. No notice is
sent by tho postmaster who issues tho
order to tire office where it is made
payable, except the order itself.
Hence, as to eafety in transmission, it
in no manner differs from a greenback,
or paper fractional currency. Follow
ing is a rough form of the new erder:

English Salmon Market.
The Liverpool Grocer says: "There
has been a fresh arrival of salmon
during the week, the ship Banffshiro
having reached thi8 port from tho Co
lumbia river with about 9,000 cases.
Other expected arrivals aro so distant
that it is not thought likely that tho
market will bo materially affected by
them. The arrivals expected in
London aro very large, and although
the fish will be from outside rivers, it
will find market somewhere, and
prevent the steady drain of Liverpool
stocks by London bnyera as in former
seasons 23s. to 23s. Od. for Fraser
river, and 2o3. to 20s. for Columbia
river fish, are tho current ratea. Some
disappointment has been expressed by
holders of sardiues at the compara
tively insignificant demand, and do
not appear able to account for it; but
the fact that Columbia river salmon is
very good and much cheaper may
probably explain this."
London advices are to the effect
that business is kept somewhat in
abeyance by the firmness of holders in
refusing to sell at any concession in
value, and none of the cargo of Co
lumbia river fish per Glengarry has
yet beon sold under 25s. to 25s. Gd.
per case. A further portion of the
shipment of Praser river salmon per
Lady Head, has, however been taken
at 23s. for fair qualit', and another
arrival, per Albany, from Victoria, B.
C, with over 21,000 cases of the same
description of fish, is now at hayd, in
course of landing at the West India
docks.

During tho twenty days of March
that have elapsed there havo been
but two deaths in Astoria. Of these
two, one was a hospital patient from
across the river, and the other was a
case of drowning; so that" there was
really no instance of death from what
might be termed natural causes. We
know of no city of its size in tho
Union that has a more satisfactory
mortuary record than Astoria.
Last Saturday, at a point a little
above Skamockwa, George, a Greek,
working for Nicholas Andrews, was
drowned. He was in a skiff, and it
capsizing flung him and lu3 partner
into tho water; his comrade managed
to get to the upturned boat, but the
unfortunato young man sank before
assistance could reach him. He waB
22 years of age. His associates spent
all Saturday and Sunday in ineffectual
attempts to recover the body.
Good San Francisco authority
says the reports from the Sacramento
river concerning this year's run of
salmon are not enceuraging: "A
largo run is not looked for this season
unless we get rain soon, and lots of it.
The river is very low, in fact lower
than has been known at this season
for many years. The snow on the
mountains amounts to little or noth
ing, so the volume of water must be
small. It is a well known fact that
high water is required for good salmon
fishing."

The office of issue, amount, date

which is his only record of the trans

the order being fraudulently changed
the figures on the right, in dollars,
dimes and cents columns, will be
punched by the issuing office, as in
the above order 4 in dollars column,
3 in dimes, and 0 in cents, making
4.30, and rendering a change impos

economy and convenience.

Big Bones.
While blasting out for railroad
construction at Albina last week a
tusk, jaw and rib of an alleged masto
don were found. Tho reporter
saith that it is thought "the liv
ing animal must nave iar exceeded in
dimensions the genus chalicotheriuui
with which Marsh submits tho
Miocene beds of Oregon are in
vested." We can hardly expect that our
osteological friends will forward the
bones to us, for classification, but
cannot refrain from suggesting that
the genus chalicothcrium is manifestly
a first cousin to theuintatheriura, and
that which Marsh refers to a3 invest
ing the Miocene beds of Oregon is
ovidently the same alluded, to by
Bogg and Peatland in their disquisi
tion on the Eoceno couches of our
Webfoot Btate. An inspection of the
binomial maxillary if procurable
would be of value in determining the
era of this prehistoric mammoth.
