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.

anniversary of Lee's surrender to
Grant at Appomattox.
