A., to all who aided in any way to make it tho success it was. Tho success that met tho enter tainment at Liberty hall last Friday night encourages the Home Dramatic association in the belief that their ef forts will bo as warmly welcomed next Tuesday evoning. Tho association is all that it claims to be a home dra matic society, and apart from its evident ability as demonstrated on former occasions, tho fact of its being a local institution should commend it to our citizens generally. On Tues day evening "Enlisted for the War; or Woman's Wit." A special meeting of Astoria En gine Co. No. 1, was held at the hall of the company last evening. It was decided to send a team to Salem to take part in the tournament.

According to all reports the farm ers in the White and Puyallup river valleys will confine their attention this season almost wholly to the culti vation of hops. The Chronicle trusts that their most sanguine expectations in this direction may bo fully realized, yet it cannot withhold the suggestion that it would be more safe to devote a portion of the cultivated lands to diversified crops. A failure of tho hop crop, or serious depreciation in tho market value of the product, would entail great loss, that could be more easily borne were a portion of the land devoted to hay, potatoes, etc. Hay makes fat beevee, and there can never be u depression in the beef market.

They excite in the twanging, jingling breasts of tho nervously fidgety a feeling which borders on respect and is akin to awe. Your double-geared fidgety man will spin all day like a top and run down in tho cool of the ovening on the identical spot on which he started off after breakfast. The man suffering from chronic lassitude will keep still keep cool, keep in the shade, put in a full day's work resting himself, and arrive on time at sundown, cool, calm aud collected, without having once sweated under the collar or laid a hair. The professional lazy man seems to eat, drink, and sleep with as much gusto and sang froid as his fidgety brother with the high-pressure anatomy aud double-cylinder, fast, perfecting, hygienic apparatus who gets hot in the box and wears and grinds and cuts his life away like a piece of misfit machinery. The fact of the whole business is, the man of bustle and confusion wears his life away for the want of the oil of rest. The professional lazy man just soaks along through this valo of tears like a handful of cotton waste in the oil cup of a box-car axle. We have not the least doubt in tho world but that we could bo a profes sional lazy man and not half try. If we had to "try very hard it would break the spell. The charm would have flown, and things would be sadly mixed. The motto of tho man afflict ed with chronic laziness is, "Give us a rest or, give 113 death." The pro fessional lazy man gets to tho grave yard on schedule time the same as the nervous, fidgety gentleman who wor ries along the pathway of life like a Texas mulo fighting sand flies. And tho moral of all this is to tho effect that it is far bettor to be born lazy than crooked, deformed, and, as Rjckard III Baj's, "sent into this breathing world scarce half mado up." Texas Sitings. The Coast Road. For some time, says the Petaluma, Cal. Courier there havo been rumors of a contemplated change in the route of the North Pacific Coast Narrow Guage Railroad running from Saucel ito to Duncan's Mill. We can now report facts showing that it was not idle railmad talk, but has a real foun dation. Mr. Buchanan, the engineer of tho road, with a full force of hands, has been for several days surveying a route for that read from Clark's Sum mit, near Bloomfield, via Tabor's Summit in Blucher Yalley, and through Grepn Valley to Sebastopol. The road will then be continued northorly through Sonoma, Mendo cino and Humboldt counties, parsing through the redwood belt and con necting near tho state lino with the Oregon Narrow-Gaugo Railroad, thus making a continuous lino of coast rail road from San Fraucisco bay to the Columbia river.
