Field will leave for Tillamook next Tuesday morning, the 31st inst. - The happy Seattleites have had a shower, and they very naturally feel elated thereat. May Newton, of Sprague, aged 17, suicided with strychnine in Port land last Thursday. Arrangements are about com pleted to light the post office and custom house with gas, The board of directors of the Mechanics fair have begun prepara tions for the October exhibition of the association at Portland. The attendance at the theater to night will doubtless bo larger than last evening as the play to be present ed My Son-in-Law is a new one to Astorians. Tho Columbia is due this morn ing. Among her distinguished pas sengers is Donald Dinnie, the great Scottish athlete who goes to Portland to exhibit. In the police court yesterday af ternoon the case of the restaurant keeper charged with alleged violation of ordinance No. 531, was continued till to-morrow afternoon. Regular election for chief engi neer and first and second assistants of the Astoria Fire Department, will be held on Monday, Aug. 13th, 1883, at the engine house of Astoria No. 1. The telegraphic strike still con tinues. The Portland operators seem to bo more resolute than soutu of their eastern brethren, as the newspapers there are unable to obtain any press reports. Tho semi-weekly boom was sounding loudly yesterday, and rail road termini, round-houses, stock yards and the entire location were mapped out. That the railroad v ill be built is certain. All else is mere conjecture. Some of the canneries have closed down, a large number of fish ermen have left for San Francisco, and tho fishing season is virtually at an end. There will be no lack of material in the matter of spawning at the headwaters this year. We are informed that Rev. B. S. MsLafforty, formerly of Eugeno City, has under advisement a proposition to accept the pastorship of the Baptist church at this place. Mr. McLafferty was pastor of the First Baptist church of Oakland, Cal., for six or eight years, and is highly spoken of by his friends and acquaintances. Mr. C. J. Curtis, an attorney formerly with A. C. Gibba, of Port land, has located in this city in the Odd Fellows building. Mr. Curtis will practice in all courts of the state, and give particular attention to col lection of claims at Washington, D. U., and collections generally, lie is also a commissioner of deeds for New York, California and Washington territory. x According to a native Indian pa per, a curious form of gambling is in dulged in regularly in Bombay during the monsoon, certain shops being de voted to the purpose. This species of dissipation consists in betting that ram win or will not iaii witnin a given time, and is known as "rain gambling." From the regular noon day outcry in Chinese quarters hero, it would seem as though something of mat uina were going on here among the heathen. The Bonlta. The Bonita is due from San Fran Cisco this morning. She arrived at San Francisco on the 18th inst., four teen days from the Arctic, nine days from Ounalaska, with oil and bone from a whaling voyage. When the news reached New Bedford, Mass., that she had arrived with a quantity of whalebone, ivorv and oil, from the San Frantfjeo whaling fleet, the oil kmcs eave :T crand "blow-out in honor of the enterprise of the San Francisco whalers. 3Iany complimen tary allusions were made to the energy displayed, by Captains Goodall and Griffith, and tho principal toasts of the evening were for their- good health and presperity. Something of a similar character (a complimentary dinner) was spoken of in San Fran cisco by the agents of New Bedford wnaiers, out the Homta s arrival was soBudden and unexpected that lack of time prevented. After discharging her odoriferous cargo she was imnis diaiely loaded for the Columbia. Rogers Bros, plated ware,and Wost enholm cutlery at Jordan & Bozorth's sew store. Groat Speculators at Lunch. A man with his moutk fall of apple pie gesticulated wildly on the floor of the Stock Exchauge the other after noon when business was at his height. A broker who thought that his gullet was clogged with pie hammered him on the back, and the general howl in the immediate vicinity was stopped by his alarming actions. As soon as he could clear his surcharged throat he found his voice, and began selling right and left in one line of stock. He was taking his lunch, with one eye on the ticket and the other on the. pie, when some figures that were jotted j down on the tape caused him to for get his check and dash out of the res taurant like a madman. He wa3 on the wrong side of tho market, and saw a chance to cover. When he had put himself in a posi tion to feel that he was on the safe side of tho fence, ho went back to the restaurant, ate another piece of pie, gave tho waiter a ijuerter and told him to say his prayer every night on go ing to oeu aim to cover wnen lie was long on a declining market. Then ho bought a put, lighted a cigar, and for half an hour blow big rings of smoke up to the ceiling. He smiled at every one who came in, and said the market was going to the dogs, rode homo in a cab, and in the evening informed his friends that ho was 20,000 better oil' than he was iu the morning. When times arc ex citing on the exchange a broker can hardly get his lunch. He has to take advantage of a lull, and while he is out things may start up again. He must keep close watch on the ticker, and if the figures go his way or against him he has to abandon his lunch in the middle of it to reap the benefit or take measures to protect himself. The great operators lunch as well as the lesser lights. Jay Gould takes his lunch at his office. No. 71, Broad way, and sometimes in his office in the Western Union building, at one or half-past one o'clock. It is always light. It consists of consomme or some other light soup, toast, fruit and tea. When in consultation with a number of gentlemen, Mr. Gould orders a more extensive spread, but he never eats heartily himself. His breakfast and dinners are his substan tial meals. His lunch is sent from Delmonico's, and the waiters, who are the same the year round, are remem bered at Christmas time. Washing ton E Connor, Mr. Gould's partner and manager, takes coffee and eats whatever suits his fancy. He is quite fond of game. He eats and trans acts business at the same time. Bus sell Sage, the money-lender and tho great operator in puts and calls, is a wonderfully modest man in eating. He will make a comfortable meal of a five-cent sandwich and a couple of red apples, costing seven cents in all. He never risks ruining his digestion by eating in a hurry. He may be all the afternoon eatincr his sandwich and apples. Occasionally Mr. Sage takes a plate of oysters or a brace of chops, with a bottle of besr, if his digestion has been helped hv satisfactory re turns from his puts and calls. Mr. Sago is always said to show his re spect for tho rules of etiquette by stuffing himself far beyond his usual capacity when at a public dinner or asked out to lunch with other gentle men. N. Y.

A little girl's explanation of the theater, given to a boy who had never heard of one. is capital: "Oh, it's where everything is the way it ought to be, and the people do things that make you laugh and cry; and they seem to live all their lives, and yet it's over in two or three hours. And everything they say means some thing, instead of being only 'how do you feel?' and 'it's a fine day, as real people do; and they tell you all they feel and all they mean to do, just as yon think when you are alone. Then, when it's over, a great green curtain comes down and you go our, ; and there are people going up and own the streets just as if nothing j had happened, and it is so common I and stupid you can hardly bear it. It I makes you wish there were no real , people alive." Tho realistic present tion of "Our lioarditifl House at Occidental Hall last evening by Lcoti ard Grovcr and his cojnpany, was one which by its fidelity to "the wav things otmht to be" would elicit the ' heartiest commendati&n of every girl big as well as liltlo. Seldom it is that an Astoria audience has the opportu nity to fee the author of a play as sume the leading role, and personate . thewage the creation of his own imagination. Mr. Grovers imperso nation of "Colonel Elevator," will, of course be compared in Astoria with that of Sheridan, who played that part in this city just prior to his de parture for Australia. It is the opin ion of many who were present last evening that in his rendition of tho character ?Ir. Grover displayed morn intimate conception of its require ments than did Sheridan. It is evi dent that he gave it greater study. In Mr. G rover's hands the character is a most elaborate one, and is com parablo to Fechter's "Obenreizer the Swiss." The talented author and dramatist whom our Astoria theater goers had an opportunity to see last evening, has the additional advatage of a well drilled company who are all good in their several parts. To-night another of Mr. Grover's clever society plays "My Son-in Law," will be placed on the stage, and will doubt less be honored by a large attendance. If the doors are opened a little earlier than last night it would be a matter of mutual advantage. And on the other hand if the audience could realize that eight o'clock is eight o'clock it would be more satisfactory to those who go in time. TTou lo Ztlalic 3Icn Handsome.
