vy aaaasKxi gto Sailg si0jcinix. ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY APRIL 12, 1883 Pointers. The Hindus pray to 330,000,000 gods. Arkansas has doubled its popu lion in ten years. It is now the fourth cotton state. The sailor is very much like his ship. When they go ashore they are very liable to get broken up. Can such things be? An ad vertisement in the London Times calls for ca wet nurse, single and respectable." The Cleveland Leader jx speaking of curiosities in the census reports concludes that the greatest rarity in them is accuracy. A New Jersey widow is said to have changed her religion because she wished to avoid meetinjr her husband in the next world. The Detroit JBrec Press notes the fact that there hasn't been one single well-defined case of crankism since Guiteau dropped through the scaffold. A Florada alligator culturist has over 1,000 little reptiles in stock to fill spring orders from the North, and he laughs at men who waste their time in congress at $5,- 000 per year. Mrs. Uarter, ot iJeiiair, u., sars in her application for divorce that her husband compelled her to swallow spools, buttons, lene: strings of wrapping yarn and mar bles as punishment for smiling at other railroad men as they passed the house. The Monroe (Ala.) Journal preaches apowerful sermon in four lines, as follows : "It is of the gaming table we would speak. It makes thieves. It makes default ers. It makes suicides. It breaks hearts, wrecks characters, blasts hopes and destroy manhood. The Chinese have n o word that is equivalent to hell and no con ception of such a place. A mis- sionarv in an agricultural district of China states that when he tried to explain it the people asked it it was anything that could be raised He might have answered that it was very often. The enterprising Sioux Citv (Mo.) Journal has the following among its city items: "Parties intending to cross on the ice will confer a favor on the reporter if before starting, they will furnish him with some point about the date of their birth, when they came west and other facts needed in first-class obituary notices. A comparison of statistics shows New York as the third German citv in the world cominer after Berlin and Vienna. Chicago, Philadelphia and St. Louis rank close to Frankfort, Hanfburg and Dresden. Boston is the onlv largo citv in the country where Germans are not found in large numbers. The Middletown, (Del.) Trans cript sets aside its editorial dig nity long enough to say that "those who write for a sample copy of the paper must inclose a postage stamp, not for publication, but as evidence that they don't take us for a bald-headed philan thropist, with a gold-headed cane and an income of $700,000 a year, who is printing a paper for amuse ment and paying the postage for fun." Politics are out of season, and so the St. Louis Republican finds room and time to consider the question "whether it was a fish or a whale that got sick of indigesti ble Jonah." An extract sufficient to show the Republicans position on this great and ever-interesting topic is here given: "The subject involves a question natural history, which might as well be stated at this stage of the controvers'. The popular idea is that a whale is a species of fish. This is a fallacy. Fish belong to the lowest order of vetebrata and are cold-blooded, while whales belong to the high est order of vcrtebrata are warm blooded mammals like the human race. Between fish and whales come reptiles and then birds a wide separation in the scale of creation. The two orders of ani mals cannot be classed together or confounded at all. Besides a whale's throat is very small and could not possibly have taken in Jonah. Evidently it was not & whale." NEW TO-DAT. SPECIAL AUCTION SALE. Elegant and Substantial Fur niture. SATURDAY.
