ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUUItSDAY .SEPTEMBER 13, 18S3
Pkof. Mouse in 1814 offered to
sell put tbe whole telegraph busi
ness and his line from "Washington
to New York to the government
for 100,000.
A Pajiis dispatch of the 10th
says if an article in the Bepxib
lique Fruncaise represents the
views of the French ministry, a
Chinese war is merely a question
of da vs.
Paddy Ryan rises to remark
that prize fighting is a crime.
That is quite a natural conclusion
for a man who has been as soundly
whipped in the ring as Mr. Ryan
was down by the Gulf.
The new steel cruisers are to
be hurried to completion with all
due energy. Secretary Chandler
is evidently determined to give
Uncle Sam as much of a navy as
possible before his term expires.
The Louisiana Republican says
"one hundred thousand people are
killed by whisky where one is
killed by a mad dog." True! But
the Great American Repub. over
looks the important fact that peo
ple are not running around after
mad dogs, and no one wants to
swallow a mad dog anyway.
There can no longer be any
doubt but that the south is be
coming highly tinged with high
tariff ideas. The cotton mills are
slowly but surety leaving the
bleak hills of New Englaud, and
settling in the pleasant cotton
fields of Dixie. Who knows but
the south and east ma swap
ideas.
Ix San Francisco, last Sunday,
in answer to Henry "Ward Bcech
.er, Mr. Dille, a Methodist Episco
pal minister, said he believed that
in passing the dark river all carry
with them their individuality, pas
sions, lusts and desires, and the
inability io gratify these desires
on the other side is the burninr
hell spoken of and meant in the
Bible. In other words we make
our own hell here, carry it over
there and burn ourselves with it
on the other side.
Mormox immigrants continue
to arrive by the hundreds to swell
the army of Latter Day Saints.
But the country seems to be con
siderably too busy to take any no
tice of it now. By tiie time an
other presidential campaign ap
proaches we shall hear lots of
cheap talk about the imperative
necessity of crushing out this
"monster evil" and the "only relic
of barbarism," and the president's
first message will of course con
tain the stereotyped clause as
usual.
A feature of the Santa Fe eel
ebralion was to have been a sham
battle, intended to represent the
capture of an Indian pueblo by
the Spaniards. The Indians
climbed to the top of one of the
buildings, brandishing their bow
and arows, and emitted shrill, ear
piercing shrieks. The bold Span
iards paused. The original plan
was for the cavaliers to pretcnr
to assault the pueblo, and the In
dians were to let fly a shower of
blunt arrows into the ground at
their fecL But it occurred to
the knights that arrows might go
astray, and they declined to tak
the risk.
Johx Brown's grave at North
Elba, N. Y., is close by the old,
weather-beaten farm-house ivhich
was once his home. It is in a cor
ner of the dooryard, and fenced
off-b' a white paling, the gate of
which is carefully locked. In lik
manner the. tombstone is covered
by a wooden box, chained and
padlocked to the ground. "When
this is removed one sees a blue
stone, with the record of the death
of Brown, his father, and three
sone. At the foot of the gra
stands a huge boulder; into which
are deeply cut the letters, "Joh
Brown, 1S59."
The members of the Jewish race
are said o have one advantage
over Christians, .which is of special
interest just at present. They are
comparatively secure from pesti
Jcnce. In the middle asres. when
the plague appeared, so few Jews
were smitten that the suspicions of
the ignorant people were aroused,
and. the Jews were acused of poi
sonnis the wells and rivers. Du
ring the three great outbreaks of
cholera in Algeria the Jewish mor
tality was only about one-half
that of the Gentiles, and at Pesth
in 1857 it was one-seventh. At
Rome iu 1SGS the cholera death
rate among the other population
was three times as high as it was
among the Jews.
Journalism- at Red Bluff, Cali
fornia, is conducted under pecu
liar and what would ordinarily be
considered discouraging circum-
stances. The editor of the only
paper in town is in jail on a
charge of murder, but, undaunted
by this change of base, he has
turned his-cell into an editorial
sanctum, and with pen, shears and
paste-pot works away in his se
clusion exactly as if seated in his
own ofilce, exposed to the unex
pected dun and to the "Constant
Reader" who demands a correc
tion, or wants to know how far it
is to the moon.
The complete returns to the
general land office of public lands
disposed of during the fiscal year
ended Juno 30th, show that
19,035,083 acres were taken up in
that time, an increase of more
than 5,000,000 acres over the total
for the previous 3ear. Of the
aggregate amount, S,171,19J
were taken up under the Home
stead Act; 3,101,333 under the
timber culture act, and the re
mainder by cash sales and other
means. Dakota leads the list of
states and territories with a total
of 7',317,39S acres disposed of.
Minnesota comes next with 1,-
414,489, followed closely by Ne
braska and Kansas.
The cowboys who are reporred
to have made a plot to kidnap Presi
dent Arthur will be very foolish if
they attempt to carry out their
scheme. He is strongly escorted,
and they will probably be unable
to get him without a severe fight.
And even if they do catch him
they will have a bard time of it to
obtain any ransom. All the
good Democrats of the country
would be sure to object to any
disbursement of public money for
any such purpose, while they will
boonlj' too glad of the opportunity
for getting rid of some of the presi
dent's companions. It would be
much mgre business-like on the
part of the cowboys to capture
the Villard parties of British
and German, tourists. They
are not escorted, and once cap
tured would make Villard and
Hatch write a ransom check at
siirht. aixty-nvc cowdovs, com
posing the contingent of this ex
pedition, could divide into two
squads, so as to work the two par
ties separately. Nobody would be
hurt and no one would lose mon
ey, for Villard and Hatch, when
released, could form a combiua
tion pool and issue bonds for
several times the amount -of the
ransom.
