President Arthur's proclamation is published, and the turkeys are holding their annual indignation meeting. J. F.

During November the ocean steamers will leave San Francisco on Saturdays and Wednesdays, and will leave Astoria on the same days. The motto for the new Stato of Dakota is to be, "Fear God and take your own part." It was probably se lected by some newspaper man. Two Chinamen gave bail 3'ester day in the sum of $300 each to appear to-day and answer to the charge of piercing Mike Sullivan's wrist with a file. They've found a merchant in Portland who doesn't advertise in the newspapors. Probably he tells his wife. lie must let it be known somohow. At tho old I. X.

There is a report that. a. person passed Carl Adlcr's show-windows 3'esterday without looking at them. The rumor is generally discredited. It is an apparent impossibility. The Daily Astomax (price fif teen cents a wook) appears enlarged and otherwise improved this morning The new dress ordered some time ago will be donned in a few days. The concert to be given by the Astoria Musical Society is the leading topic. Anyone that has not procured a seat can be accommodated by call ing at Carl Adler's this morning.

When it was noon at Washington, the t railway clock at Charlottctotvn, Prince Ed ward Island, stood at 12:58, while that at Astoria stood at 8:55. Oscar Wilde is in trouble again Those infernal New York papers have published his lecture, and as he only has one, when he goes to a place peo pie who have read it don't go to hear him. His great mistake was in com ing hack. Americans are rarely fool ed by the samo game twice.

V Business Envelopfss. A difference of opinion exists as to what ma' or may not be written or printed on the address side of postal cards. The object of the postal card is to facilitate the transportation through the mails of short commuui cations at reduced rates, old tho postal laws and regulations expressly forbid the sender of a postal card to put on tho addres3 side of a card any thing but the address of the person to whom it is sent, in its simplest form. Rule 314 of the postal laws say that "the amount of writing necessary to complete an address on a postal card must be determined by the local mail ing postmaster without appeal." The words "to bo called for" are the only ones allowable, while "deliver imme diately" is superfluous, as that is the duty of every postmaster. Affixing one's business seal, stamp or printed address on the address side of a -postal card is strictly prohibited by the postal laws, as this side must be kept clean. If the privilege were allowed, every btismass house in the country would make the pestoffice a means of advertising its business. In fact, only an address is allowed on the face of a postal card, and an address, according to the postal rcguititions, is the name of a person or firm, the street where on they reside or transact business, the name of the city, county and stato and the po3t office box, if they have one. Another general m'utake is made by business and professional men in re gard to "apodal request" envelopes. The assistant postmaster-general has recently issued orders tlwt business vocations and employments will bo excluded front cards and envelopes, and that the namo of the writer only should be given, without reference to his occupation. The Postal Law and Regulations on the issuing "special request" envelopes reads: "Requisi tion for 'special request' envelopes must bo made by postmasters immedi ately upon receiving orders from part ies wanting them, at whatever time in the quarter it may bo made, and, if possible, should always be accom panied by a printed card showing the matter deBired to be printed. No order is to be taken on credit except at the postmaster's risk, and in no case for lcs3 than 500 of any specified denomination to bear the samo print ing." At The Astoriax office you can have your name, business, etc., printed, we furnishing the 2-cnt stamped envelopes ready for uso in boxes of H00. THIC DAILY ASTOm AX, fifteen cents a week. A Fearful Pall. Arthur Foley, tho four-3ear-old son of P. Foley, met with a terrible acci dent yesterday which may cost tho poor littlo fellow his life. His father is employed on tho new public school building, and the boy followed him from the house yesterday morning, clambering up to tho upper room where Mr. Fojey was at work. Ho went to the edge of the flooring aud tumbled through tho light well by tho stairs to tho floor below, a distance of eighteen feet, striking on his head and fracturing tho skull. He was con veyed home and all that surgical aid can do supplied, but it is thought the fall will prove a fatal ono. The little fellow attained considerable notoriety a few weeks ago by going to San Fran cisco as an independent passenger on the Columbia. He is an uncommonly bright child, displaying a precocity far beyond his years. fifteen centi a week. THBDA1LY ASTOMAX Distressing Accident. Tho Chcsebrongh, which has been lyiug below, got her anchors foul yes terday, and while engaged iu raising them, the strain on the tacklo running to the cat-head caused it to give way. ana as it am so a running mock loll a distance of thirty feet, striking first mate Batchelder in the back, a little to tho right of the spine. The- unfor tunate man was immediately carried to his cabin and medical aid sum moned. The phvsician thought to move him would result in death, and that under any ciceesistHnces he could not survive. The Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church will meet to-day at tho house of' Mrs. March at 1.30 r. ax. A full attendance is desired. Oapt. Soule, of tho wrecked bark Whistler t came over on Sunday. The crew got off in safety; very little was saved; the bark is going to pieces; the wreck was sold yesterday afternoon by E. C. Holdcn for $20 to Martin Foard. vt une cutting ou tne coupons from our government bonds last week we casually mentioned to Jorkins, who happened in, that money could be borrowed in New York at two per cent per annum.

The Portlanders who have sub scribed for N. P. R. R. and Trans continental stock, buying and paying for the amounts set opposite their names in amounts of 500 shares and over, are: W. S. Ladd, 1,500; C. H. Lewis, 1,000; H. W. Corbett, 1,000; Henry Failing, 1,000; Sol Hirsch, 1,000; Geo. Wiodler, 1,000; E. S. Kearney, 1,000; Paul Schulz, 1,000; J. N. and Cyrus Dolph, 1,000; Joseph and Sam Simon, 500. Therd are many others in this city who hae bought in the neighborhood of 103 shares each to hold a3 an investment, while a large number of others have bought on speculation or margin, which has almost invariably proved disastrous. It is well known that the Yillard stocks have tumbled fifty per cent within the last three months, and as a natural consequence those gentle men with 1,000 shares representing $100,000 cash paid for them, are each out oi pocket at the present state f the market, 350,000. There be ing between four million and five million dollars worth of these dtocks held in Portland, the result has been that mouy that would otherwise have been doing our community somo good has been sent to New York in pay ment for them. This is the cause T the stringency of the money, market in this city. The gentlemen who in vested in this stock did so on repre sentation that it would pay them thirty per cent, iu a few months like the O. R. & N. Co., when on the con trary it has thus far stripped them of fifty per cent, of their cash advances, or in most cases of $50,)00 each, be sides depriving them of the use of their money. It is worth of note that the promoters of this speculation are tho heaviest losers have since gono in on margins, which at least shows their good faith if not .good judgment, Tho gentlemen who hold this stock are not gamblers, as may be seen by reading their names, aud we hope that they may eventually find their investment anj'thin but as ruinous as it nowthreatens. Wcl- Multnomah county's property this year i3 assessed at $24,540,850, with indebtedness and exemptions amountiug to $6,887,045, leaving the net taxable amount 17,Go3,80o, an Increase of $587,820 over last year. It has come during the past year to be understood that the city of Seat tle was to be plucked by everjone who could get his hands on it, and that, in pecuniary sense, the most favored men were those ho could get them selves enrolled among the function aries of the city. An end has got to come to this municipal extravagance, or the city will be involved in finan cial wreck within the coming year. Post-Intelligencer. -Man born of woman is of few days and no teeth. And, indeed, it would be money in his pocket some times if he had less of either.

A gentleman who visited Joseph Bichman yesterday says he found him suffering with acute nervousness, and in a somewhat be fuddled condition mentally. Ho says he had only 22 depositors in his bank, and that their depositors amount in all to about $35,000 05 $10,000. He has no idea where his brother w, and says if forced to a settlement to-day he could n.it pny five cents 011 the dollar. Mr. Henry Marshall of the O. R. & N. Co. says he saw Ad.

On Monday night Ad. Bach man got $2,C00 from Mr. Thns. Con nell, and Mr. Mose3 Seller let the firm have $1,100 at nearly the last moment. It is thought that these last deposits, or loans, were ootameu lor tne pur pose of settliug with the First Na tional Bank, at the sacrifice of every one else.
