c glxc gaHB gistetea. ASTORIA, OREGON-SUNDAY- .7.. MAT 0, 18S3 Laud Grants to .Railroads. The public treasury is not the only sufferer from the careless or crooked dealing of the government in its gifts of lands to railroad companies. Neighboring settlers are often put at a disadvantage because vast and valuable tracts are kept out cf their reach by the nominal ownership of corporations that have forfeited their titles, yet maintain a constructive possession of their grants through the gov ernment's negligence or conniv ance. The transportation facilities on which the pioneer has been en couraged to rely are not furnished, and he is prevented from purchas ing lands he might otherwise ac quire, through the government's failure to retake them from the railroads, and to throw them open to settlement. Our own vicing does not by any means furnish the only in stance. Among others may be in stanced the Iowa Falls and Sioux City road which has received 25, 000 acres more than it is entitled to under its original grant. The Sioux City and St. Paul road of Iowa has had about 85,000 acres more than its lawful maximum, reckoning the diminutions by overlapping grants. Two Minne sota roads, with a terminus at St. Paul, have been allowed still lar ger excesses, one of them re ceiving a surplus of 350,000 acres. The Cedar Rapids and Missouri River road has had 300,000 acres too much. The Winona and St. Peter's has enjoyed a, surplus of a quarter of a million outside of the maximum limits of its grant, and nearly a million over the proper area, as subject to diminutions by over lapping grants to otVer projected roads. The government in its dealings with land grant railroads has acted not only with the lavishness but the carelessness of a spend thrift who fancies that his resourc es can never be exhausted, and who has a contempt for keeping accounts. Pointers. Tue duty upon opium entering the. United States has been raised from SO to $10 per pound the high rate going into effect July next. A Southern man who during tiie height of the craze named his son "Pinafore" hopes he'll die before the boy gets big enough to lick him. The Reno (New) people are alarmed at the posibiiity of eruption from an immense volcano which is believed to be slumbering under Lake Tahoe. Eighteen cows were killed in one day on the line of the Ohio railroad lt0 miles long. Unfortu nately, they had no refrigerator cars on the train. Joaquin Miller says the daily newspaper is the "six-shooter of civilization." Then a man who carries a newspaper in his pocket is liable to be arrested for carrying concealed weapons. The Orejonian crystalizes a volume of financial truth in this sentence. "The only way to make money easy and cheap is to let it entirely alone." That's the exact size of the whole question. A man breathes about eighteen times a minute and uses 3,000 oubic feet, or about three hundred and seventy-five hogsheads of air per minute. Think of this when you are tempted to eat onions. The Khedive of Egypt has his family doctor and his horse doctor, and while the first is paid a salary of $3,000 per year the second is paid about $9,000. The Khe. is not the man to take any chances on losing a horse. Germany is astonished to find that at least sixty per cent of the pupils in every school are near sighted or otherwise defective in vision. Keeping one eye on the teacher and the other on the les son is awful hard work. A New York milliner has set the country in a flutter by dis covering that only one woman in ten wears the plume on the fash ionable side of the hat. "When you see a woman with two plumes just admire her sharpness. Secretary Chandler has ordered some of the naval officers in that part of the" world to attend tho coronation of the Czar. They are glad of it It will be a great re lief to their minds to leave Chand ler's Robeson navy for awhile, and take their chances with dyna mite. It is a custom in the Prussian royal family that every prince shall be apprenticed to a trade, in order that, in case of a revolution, he ma- be able to earn his living. In pursuance of this rule the pres ent Crown Prince was taught watchmaking, and is said to be a fair workman. The Kern County Califomian exposes a bit of superstition as fol fel fol eows: "Every Friday the passen ger tram from the north comes over the road nearly empty. It was the passenger train of that day which was destroyed at Tehachipa Pass in January last, more than forty passengers losing theirlives." General Nelson A. Miles has bought the Stone mansion in Xew York. The place was once the cause of a cruel rumor about John Sherman. It was said that he had got hold of the Stone property and was lobbying to get a new execu tive mansion built out there. Gen- -eral Miles' wife is a niece of John Sherman, so he may have got it from his uncle-in-law after all. It is" said to reflect that the'gov ernment might save itself the cost of advertising in the New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Balti more newspapers for bids for the construction of the new steel eru siers, since every one of the only four firms in the United States which are in a condition to do the work knew all about the matter already, and it is said have arrang ed things peacefully so that they will not bid very fiercely against each other. This touching little incident is from the Rochester Post. One rises from its perusal with mixed feelings: "A beautiful young girl was about to be married to a bachelor seventy 3'ears of age, but very rich. On the evo of her marriage she learned that his wealth had been suddenly swept away, leaving him a penniless old man. Did tho noble girl de sert him in this hour of trouble? She did indeed, and her parents helped her, too. This country's hospitality is practically boundless. It welcoms heartily all those who arc able and willing to work, but it has no wel come for those who come here to set up in the business of begging or of becoming a charge upon those who do work. The country has exceedingly few paupers of its own and doe.i not desire to become tho almshouse of the world, and our government should be prompt and emphatic in notifying the world that she cannot allow this system to be continued. The Rev. Talmage prepared a recent spring sermon and met with as severe a disappointment as a woman does in a new bonnet on a rainy Easter. "The Time of the Singing of the Birds has Come," he announced as his text, and just at that moment the snow beat against the church windows. But Talmage is nol easily disconcerted. As he heard the sleet upon the panes he remarked: "As the art ist draws a curtain over the studio, that he may better present his pic tnre, so the dark clouds of this stormy morning will help us bet ter to work out the scene of the text." Ifrs. Bell, the wife of the tele phone inventor, if deaf and dumb. That is why her husband is so fond of her. For in contriving an au diphone for her infirmity he hit upon the idea of the telephone. She is a very beautiful woman, and her face has proven a small fortune to a Cincinnati artist who came to "Washington and lived in obscurity until she gave him a sit ting, when he had the good luck to make a beautiful picture, which attracts crowds to the Corcoran gallery and patronage to the pain ter. "Women can learn from this how much god they can do by being deaf and dumb- The Now York Times has dis covered that after July 1 any American manufacturer may se cure the absolute exclusion from the country of competing foreign goods by adopting the foreign name or trade-mark for his own product. Section 2497 of the new tariff law prohibits the importation of "watches, watch cases, watch I movements, or any other article of foreign manufacture" which "copy or simulate the name or trade-mark of any domestic manufacturer." After the homo producer has copied the name or trade mark of the foreign product, the foreign product will of course bear a copy of the name of trade mark of the home product. Ox the coming Fourth of July in San Francisco Gen. Sherman is expected to grace the occasion with his presence. The Garfield monument com mittee will put a 850,000 monu ment at Washington.
