m M Slftc gsiilg siortem. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY- APRIL 10, 1SKJ Pointers. The rentals of the Tay salmon fisheries amount to $100,000 a year, and the salmon from the Tay are considered tho finest to be had in Great Britain. The Canadians discover that the new tariff raises the tax on import ed malts from eight cents a bushel to about twenty cents, This kills the Toronto business of malting for exports. The latest advertising swindle is that of a man who advertised a sewing machine for twenty-five cents in stamps. He found numerous dupes, who, in return for their stamps, received a cam bric needle. Captain Eads maintains that there is danger of the bulk of the water of the Mississippi river find ing its way to the Gulf through the Atchafalaya outlet, and in that event New Crleans would be left on the banks of a dead lagoon. More than fifty million cans of tomatoes were packed in this country last year, and it wasn't much of a season for tomatoes. The demand has increased steadily, and the present year's packing is expected to reach 70,000,000 cans. In an important criminal case in Louisville, the court said: "The mere fact that a man has read newspaper accounts of this matter and received certain impressions, does not render him in competent to sit as a juror. I do not intend to exclude intelligence from the jury box." James Stephens, the once famous Fenian, and, indeed, the founder of tbe order, was recently interviewed by a correspondent of the London Standard on the Irish troubles. He gave it ?s his opinion that nothing but absolute separation from England would bring peace and prosperity ,to Ireland. In many parts of Spain farming operations have made little or no progress since the expulson of of the Moors. The same sort o plow is used now as thru, oxen tread out the corn after the ancient Oriental fishion, and women separ ate the chaff from the corn by tossing the grain up in the air during a breeze of wind. The Cincinnati Enquirer thinks that the queen should hereafter slide down stairs on the balusters, and it adds: "There is a good chance in London for an Irish in former to make a fat fee. All he has to do is to swear that he saw Parnell greasing the stairs of "Windsor Palace with a piece of bacon-rind. Of course Parnell would try and prove an alibi, but that would show the total depravity of the man. Life is sown broadcast, only to be followed almost immediately by a destruction nearly as sweeping. Nature creates b' the million, ap parently that she may destroy by the myriad. She gives life one instant only that she may snatch it away the next. The main differ ence is that the higher we ascend the less lavish the creation, and the less sweeping the destruction. Thus, while probably but one fish in a thousand reaches maturitj', of every 1,000 children born G01 at tain adult age. That is, Nature flings aside 999 out of every 1,000 fishes as useless for her purpose, and two out of every five human beings. It is rather a strange sight to see the name of Bonaparte on a lawyer's sign,yet "Charles J. Bon aparte, attorney-at-law," may be read any day on a Philadelphia law office. Although the grand son of Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia, and a grand-nephew of tho Great Napoleon, C. J. Bon aparte is a staunch republican. He is devoted to his profession, which, by the way, was that of his great grandfather and namesake, Charles Bonaparte, Advocate of Corsica. Mr. Bonaparte, although in the en joyment of a princely fortune, left to him by his grandmother, the late Madame Bonaparte, is a hard working lawyer, at his office every day and frequently in court plead ing cases with ability and elo quence. He has the appearance of an Italian, but the common sense of an American, and would Dot give up his profession for the proudest position that could be of fered under a restored Bonapartist dynasty. Alaska is the better land toward which the miners of the west, in obedience to their passions for new diggings, are setting their faces this spring. Already, it; is said, a movement has begun which promises to be a stampede during the next few weeks. "A party of twenty," says a dispatch from Deadwood, D. T., to the Chicago Titnes, "leaves here the 1st of! April. It will comprise some of the oldest and best miners of the gulch, will be thoroughly equipped, and if there is gold to be found will find it. That the fever is widespread is illustrated by the fact that a pool of $20,000 was raised this afternoon to defray the expenses of the party, many prom inent business and professional men, unable to go, willingly sub scribing to the fund. Of course j each subscriber 'stands la' wiihi whatever may be found. Joaquin Milleu has joined the ranks of the iconoclasts. He says that there never was such an event as "Sheridan's ride;" that Read's poem was founded upon a myth. Probably by the next generation it will be denied that there ever was such a man as Phil Sheridan, or maybe he will be con founded with "P. J.," who is at present "wanted" by the English government. The French assembly is debat ing whether or not to sell the crown jewels. One member ar guing in all earnestness for their sale says they are a constant men ace; for some ambitious woman possessed of a desire to wear them might intrigue to overthrow the Republic and have her lover or husband declared rulor. Ik the last number of the Scientific American to hand, the oditor says "that the nineteenth century closes December 31st, 1899, and the twentieth century commences January 1st 1900," which is an error. The present century closes Dec. 31st 1900, and the twentieth begins the following day. The eastern Chinaman is demon strating rare powers of adapta bility to our western civilization. In New York one Chinaman has procured a divorce, a Chinese clerk has swindled his employer and run away, and in Philadelphia a Chinese base ball club is beinjr organized. For the hundredth time it is "positively announced" that S. J. Tilden is "in training" for tho presidency. It is about as certain as any future problem can be that the presidential candidates for next year have not been mention ed yet. Chess is again attracting the attention of thoso who favor intel lectual amusement. From Seos tris to Napoleon, from Confucius to Tyndall, the great ones of the earth have delighted in this royal game. The Czar of all the Russias has decided that his Moscow corona tion shall not take place till June. He hopes that by that time the 'English and French will have cre ated such a demand for explosives that he can be crowned in peace. Yesterday wxs the eighteenth anniversary of Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox. California refuses to admit Chinese children into her public schools. NEW TO-DAY WANTED.
