To snyona wishing a pro G table

The reduction in the wise of
Xew York newspapers is reported to
be a failure. It is exactly the reverse
in Astoria. The new subscription
list steadily increases.
Geese and ducks are coming in in

well supplied with game.

Jo. Bachman Arrested A Clous
Shave Two Explosions
in London.
SrKCIAl. TO THE ASTOBIAX.J
Portland, Oct. 31. Ever since the
discovery of Bachman Bros', failure
there has been a feeling of indigna
tion concerning' the manner in
which tho '-failure" was brought
about ; more especially is this the case
among many poor depositors who lost
their all. This afternoon Celia
Logan, a keepor of a house of ill
fame, who said she needed the money
"in her business,' swore out a war
rant against Jo. Bachman, and
had him arrested on a
charge of embezzlement. She had
fourteen hundercd dollars on drposit.
Bachman gave bonds in the sum of
$10,000, and was released from cus
tody. It is considered certain that
other arrests on the same charge will
follow.
Sxrwi Her Charter.
The IJritish bark lioiclaiul Hill,
which arrived in from Victoria, in
ballast, was hurried to h;r dock and
laid alongside at 2, this afternoon.
Jicr charter party oxpirou at sunset.
It road "If not ready to receive cargo
at sunset on October 31st, 1833, char
terers may cancel at option." By con
siderable effort the vessel was lined
this afternoon, and before the sun
went down, Capt. Vaughan roport
cd that he was rotdy to receive
cargo. She had been chartered
by Dixon, DeWolf & Co., of San
Francisco at sixty shillings. As the
ruling rate to-dny is forty shillings it
will be seen that the ship thus s.ives
about $G,000.
An Explosion.
Lokuok, Oct. 31. By an explosion
on the line of tho Metropolitan
Underground railtravy to-day forty
persons wore seriously injured in two
separate explosions. Four carriages
were completely demolished. The
cause of the explosion was at first at
tributed to foul gas. but later investi
gation shows that it must have been
infernal imichinc. The evening news
papers declare it to be the work of
Fenians. Four infernal machines
were found in the tunnel near Hraed
street station.

Senator Armstrong, of Missouri,
has been here on a pleasant trip for
the past week. While at tho Capo
Hancock life station last Tuesday, he
assured Al. Harris that upon his re
turn he would use all his influence
with Representative Cox of 2Tcw
York and others to have the efiicioncy
of tho service increased.
The important problem of "How
to keep warm," has been solved by I.

large heater in tho basement, the prin

contrivanco that creates a downward
current of cold air, thus ventilating
the apartments in a most thorough
manner.
The attention of the reading public
directed to Carl Adler'a double-
coliimn advertisement. On the prin
ciple that a nimble sixpence is better
than a slow shilling, this enterprising
merchant has determined to take a
new departure by placing the price of
books and periodicals so low as to
make a necessity of what was formerly
luxury. By reference to his adver
tised rates it will be seen that tho
ending publications of the day can be
procured at prices below what has
heretoforo been paid; the reduction
r tends to the works of standard
authors. His shelves are filled with
well bound volumes that will be sold
at such prices as cannot fail to be
satisfactory to all. So larye and ex
tensive i3 the display in every branch
of his business that a visit to Astoria
cannot be considered complete with
out an inspection of his elegant stock.
That his establishment is nut equaled
in appearance north of San Francisco
is the general verdict of all who have
visited it.
Tho long delayed instructions re!
ativc to tho life station at Cape Han
cock, wore yesterday received from
headquarters by Capt. Al. Harris, and
to-day he musters in his crew. The
requirements of the service are not
proportioned to the pay by any means,

G. Washington Childs, the editor of

bo the champion obituary bard of the
country, but Orogon will snatch his
laurels away unless he bestirs himself.
Appended to the usual death notice of
a little child in Polk county, we find
the following in the Itcmizcr :
Tho letter published below was re
ceived by Dr. H. E. Hoekle, of St.
Louis, Mb., and fully explains thi3
extraordinary phenomenon:
Gary, Dakota, Sept 25, 1S83.
Dr. H. B. BocMcDear Sir: In
our neighborhood lives a German
farmer named Liebig who claims to
have mado a discovery which seems
to me so remarkable that I have con
cluded to report it to the press. He
is quite a scientific man and has a di
ploma from some big agricultural col
lege in Germany, the name of which I
have forgotten. Hi3 neighbors call
him tho Latin farmer. Thi3 is what
he says: Among his cows i3 one of
English breed, the best milker in the
lot. Some time ago the milk from
her had a bitter taste and a brownish
color, which rendered it totally unfit
for use. This gave him considerable
distress and he could not account for
it. Later on he discovered the cause
of the trouble. He saw the animal
coming out of his barn, where he has
his hop tiins. Evidently the cow had
oeen feeding on hops and naturally
the milk had acquired the objection
able taste. He commenced a series
of experiment, the reasons for which
he gave me, and which seem quite
plausible. His arguments were: If
the food has such a direct influence
on tho taste and color of tho milk,
have wo not the means at hand to give
the product any character we choose?
Ho evidently regards the animal econ
omy of the cow as a sort of chemical
laboratory. So ho went to work to
try to produce a drink similar to beer,
and if his statements are true (as 1 be
lieve) he succeeded completely.
He continued to feed hops, for which
she had a general liking, then malt
and then corn. Gras3 and hay would
not do, because under it tho liquid
resumed its natural milky charactor.
The product under this feeding was a
turbid, light brown liquid, with a
sweet, slightly bitterish taste. Warm
from tho cow he adds some yeast,
sets it in a warm place, and lets it fer
ment. This seems to generate a cer
tain amount of alcohol and the liquid
at the same time becomes clear. It
the fermentation is, however, uot in
terrupted at a certain ataire, the stuff
gets sour and is unfit to drink. He
stops the fermentation by pouring tho
liquid in a strong jng, corking tightly
and letting it drop down in a deep
well. Two or ihreo days after he
draws it up. It i3 then a clear. li"ht
brown color, effervescing, forming a
creamy foam on top and tastes delici
ous to me a creat deal tetter tuan
most of the beer I ever tried. In
short ho has got a brewery on four
legs, which, in case prohibition should
prevail, be can take along across the
borders. When I first expressed
some doubts of the success of his ex
periments ho met me with an argument
which I had to admit was quite plans
iblo. Starting with the fact, mi
doubtedly correct, that all physicians
order beor freely to women in confine
ment when the generation of milk in
their breasts is in abeyance or scanty,
ho says: ''If beer in the animal
economy can be transmuted into milk,
why cannot tho elements of milk, un
der proper food, be transformed into
beer in this natural laboratory?"
m Yours truly,
S. E. Jouxsox.
A beef famine is now likely to oc
cur at any moment. People may ex
pect to hear of all the vast ranches in
the west being transformed into beer
breweries and of dairymen abandon
ing their milk business to go into the
more profitable sale of beer.

The Lead Pencil.
Ono of the funniest sights is ( ee
anyone who uses a lead pencil wot the
end. They might as well wet a scis
sors or the other end of the penholder.
By the way, there is no lead pencil,
and there has been none for fifty
years. There was a time wheu a spir
acle of lead, cut from the bar or sheet,
sufficed to make marks on white paper
or some rougher abrading material.
The name of load pencil came from the
old notion that the nroducis of the
Cumberland mines, Engiand, wt
lead, instead of being plumbago, or
graphite, a carbonate of iron, capable
of leaving a lead-colored mark. With
tho original lead pencil or slip, and
with the earlier styles of tho "lead"
pencil made direct from the Cumber
land mine3, the wetting of the pencil
was a preliminary of writing. But
since it has become a nianu
tacture the lead pencil is
adapted, by numbers or letters, to
each particular design. There are
grades of hardness, from the pencil
that may be sharpened to a needle
point, to one that makc3 a broad
mark. Between the two extremes
there are a number of gradations
that cover all the conveniences of the
iead pencil. These gradations are
made by taking the original carbon
ate, and grinding it, and mixing it
with a line quality of clay in dilFering
proportions, regard bcunj; had to :ho
use of the pencil. The mixture is
thorough, the mass is squeezed
through dies to form and size it, is
dried, and incased in its wood en
velope.
