m glic niX stetatu ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY.... APRIL 1, 1S83 Pointers. There are 4,000,000 Methodists in the United States. A college is to be established at Waitsburg, to be under the care of the Presbyterian church of the Pacific coast. In a county in Nevada is a hill of moving sand four miles long, a mile wide and from 100 to 400 feet high. "Within a fewj'ears the hill has travelled a mile, Tiie skeleton of an enormous animal has been found in Wyom ing Territory. The jaw measures eleven feet. This must be the skeleton of the original mother-in-law. A Washington paper says that a Methodist conference will get through with more business in a week than congress or a state legislature usually does in two months. A Kansas church deacon said in prayer meeting: "Brethren and sisters, let us pray for Gr. W. Smith and make a better man of him." G. W. Smith sued the deacon for slander and was awarded 500 by a jury. The Rev. Talmage lectured in New Orleans last week, and in talking with a reporter said that the changes in all phases of south ern life since he visited the south five years ago amount to almost a revolution, and in some particulars to a resurrection. "When any man," says the Georgetown (Col.) Courier," wheth er from the New England states or Texas, comes into the country with two old steers and a brand ing iron, and in six years owns one of the largest herds in the Territo ry, we honestly think there is something wrong." Artificial lightning is one of the largest manufacturing interests in the world. In a round sum there is about 375,000,000 invested in the manufacture of gas in the United States, New Yrk city alone having in the neighborhood of 22,000,000 invested, and Brooklyn city about 12,500,000. Martin Luther's soul has gone marching on in Germany during the last four centuries. His jour ney to Worms might perhaps have been cheered if he could have looked ahead and seen the Em porer unveiling a statue in his honor on the fourth century of his birth on the 10th day of next November. The tallest electric mast in the country has been erected in Minneapolis, Minn. It is sur mounted by eight lights, each with 4,000 candle-power. Tt lights up the most dangerous portion of the city, and anywhere within a radius of one mile diffuses hirht enough to enable one to tell the time at night by his watch. A gang of thieves has just been broken up in Los Angeles, Cal., none of the members of which was over fifteen years of age. The leader of the gang was Nellie Di vine, a bright little brunette of thirteen years. She was one of the smartest scholars in the schools, and invariably took the prize of fered by her teacher. During the last three years tliey have stolen thousands of dollars worth of goods. The Boston Advertiser gives the following definition of an in terview, and one which is correct in every particular: "An inter view is a modern invention good naturedly adopted bT newspapers in enable public men to put their ideas before the people without assuming the responsibility for them, and in a form to be repudi ated as the inaccurate work of the reporter in cae the views do not "take." There arc eleven religious socie ties in the new and lively city of Winnipeg, Man., and their aggre gate wealth is estimated at the immense sum of 11,300,000. In the early history of the country the Hudson Bay company made grants of land to the various churches. Protestant and Catholic. These lands were practically valueless then. The Roman Catholic church has been the most fortunate, hav ing a title to lands now valued at $10,000,000. "Isn't it about time for the local authorities to sell the mule used to draw the town hearse and buy a horse?" asks the editor of a Tennessee paper. "Twice lately he has balked and detained pro cessions on bitterly cold days for over an hour, and only last week he kicked in the front ol the vehi cle and seriously damaged the corpse. People are beginning to get enough of this sort of thing, and if the authorities don't take proper action a citizens' meeting will be called." A correspondent ol the Boston Traveller says that the late A If. Stephens told him that he had sent letter after letter ro S. A. Douglas advising him to come to thesouth and deliversome speeches. Not less than a dozen letters were sent, but no answer came, and at last Mr. Stephens sent a special messenger. It was found that all the letters had been withheld by the postmaster, but the correspon dent forgets to say at which end of the route they were withheld. The moral of the story lies just here. Many fine things could be said if the pro-slavery postmaster kept back the letters, and others not so fine might be worked out if the presumably anti-slavery north ern postmaster did the suppress ing. Asa work of art the story is defective. It points no moral and seems hardly calculated to adorn a tale. Perhaps it might have been as well to publish it' a month or so before Mr. Stephens died. The sana-bag artist is the terror of Chicago at present, and a news paper of that city presents the fol lowing figures to comfort the peo pee ple: "There are in Chicago at the present time about 275,000 male persons. Of these about 140,000 are of sand-bag age. Of this 140,000 sand-bag contingent, 70,000 individuals are of a timid nature and do not go out after dark. There remains, therefore, 70,000 adult males liable to be sand-bagged any night. But the newspaper returns show that no more than ten are sand-bagged upon an one night, or seventy iu a week. This amounts to 3,500 a year. It will take, therefore, twenty years before every man will get his turn." Any man who cannot take comfort from these figures should move out of the city.
