Yesterday's Orcgonian has a readable narrative con cerning the first railroad in Oregon. It seems it was built by W. C and J. D. De ment, A. L. Lovejoy and D. P. Thomp son, the last named gentleman being tho narrator. It was built in '61, ran or ex tended from Oregon City to Canemah, and the motive power was a mule. It cost its purchasers $23,000, and in one year earned $48,000 net profits for its de lighted owners. At ono time tho hilari ous quartette took in $75 in greenbacks, and not knowing what to do with the queer-looking stuff, played seven-up for the lot. The extraordinary prosperity of the concern led to a rumpus, and Hen Holladay pulled it in at 35 cents on the dollar and "consolidated." Tiik Gbant Case. The case of the estate of Peter Grant vs. W. B. Baker et al. took up the attention of the circuit court yesterday, being the second day of the trial. A large number of witnesses were examined for the plaintiff and con siderable useful information of a general nature imparted. In the afternoon the chief question at issue seemed to be how long a physically sound man, 50 years of age, under ordinary circumstances, and of exemplary habits, would live. Two physicians didn't know, or else wouldn't tell; and finally through tho medium oi a carefully compiled table of life insur ance expectations it transpired that it was believed that a man of that ago had a good show to live 20.22 years longer, thus beating the scriptural score by twenty-two hundredths of a year. At 5 o'clock evidence for the plaintiff was all in, and counsel for defendant moved for a non suit. The caso goes on again tbiB morning- . Langiiblre the Comedian. There is evidently a rare dramatic treat in store for the amusement loving citi zens of Astoria in the performance to be given next Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 14th and 15th, by tho famous comedian, , John S. Langrisho and his entire east ern dramatic company. They have late ly closed an engagement at the New Market theater, Portland, scoring tho biggest artistic success for years. The Oregonian of December 22d, says: "Lang rishe has proved Jiis title to the sobriquet of 'Jolly Jack' by causing his audiences to laugh most uproariously during tho entire week." Tho Standard of same date adds: "J. S. Langrisho has probably caused more laughter during his stay at the New Market than has been produced by the efforts of any on6 comedian ever before in this city?' The Xortli West Newt of same date endorses, "Langrishe has caused more laughter during his stay than any comedian that has visited Port land for years." The Telegi-am of Dec. 22d assert: "The Langrisho company have been keeping the people in good humor all the week bv their fun at the New Market theatre." Those who wit nessed nis performances state that the audiences are almost in a complete roar from the rise to tho fall of the curtain. The "Man in a Maze, or the Simoson's and Skeptics,, will be given on Monday aad "Matrimonial Oddities" and the Gentleman from Ireland" on Tuesday.

At a recent meeting of tho Astoria chamber of commorce,tho subject of Co lumbia river bar improvement being np for discussion, tho secretary was in structed to prepare and forward a memo rial to our representative and senators to balaidboforo congress, relative thereto. A memorial, of which the following ia a copy, was accordingly sent by tho Ore gon, which leaves this merning: To the Honorable, the Congress of the. United States: Your memorialists, the Astoria cham ber of commerce of the citv of Astoria, state of Oregon, respectfully petition your honorable body to make "an appro priation of $500,000 to improve the en trance to theColumbia river ia accordance with tho recommendations and plans embodied in the report of a special com mittee of the board of engineers of the United States. In urging that this work may be under taken as speedily as possible the chamber calls your attention to the following im portant facts: Tho coinmerco of the Co lumbia river is now increasing at a rate of 25 per cent, annually, with a proba bility of a still greater increase. Durine the year 1855 tho entrances and clear ances at the custom house at Astoria, were ss follews: Deep water vessels under register in foreign trade arriving (both foreign and LT. S. vasseLs) 110; tonnage, 118,076". De parting, 81; tonnage, 82,008. Entrances, coastwise, 339; tonnage, 4SS,591. Clear ances, :U8: tonnage, 13,71G. Value of imports brought over Colum bia river bar m 1833: Domestic, $27,003, 787; foreign. $1,177,401; value of exports for same year: domestic, $0,212,512; for eign, $G,i78,8S9; lumber exports not in cluded. Your memorialists respectfully submit to your honorable body that in view of its'present as well as its future commer cial importance, thf- improvement of the Columbia river bar is tho most necessary work contemplated in tho northwest. Wc would especially call attention to the fact that the present stato of tho Co lumbia river bar is detrimental to tho in terests of American ship owners. Nearly all foreign vessels are iron, and American, wood. To ba profitable to tho producer, the grain of this coast, in view of the length of the voyage, must be car ried to a foreign markot, in largo vessels. No vessel can now cross tho Columbia river liar under the most favorable cir cumstances, drawing over 22 feet. The large American vessel drawing 23 to 2G feet cannot therefore load to her full ca pacit3 but is conipellc-d to clear with no more freight than the British vessel draw ing from 20 to 22 feet. Shippers are obliged therefore to employ foreign ves sels to carry our produce to Europe. Of tho 81 vessels clearing from this port, foreign, with grain, in 18S3, only 12 were American bottoms. Most of the vessels la.ive outward bound in the winter months when the bar is roughest, and frequently havo to wait for weeks for a smooth bar, this delay is solely duo to want of proptr depth. No lightering can be done here outside tho bar as is done in some other ports. Your memorialists deem the improve ment of the mouth of the Columbia to bo a work of national importance, not simply beciuse during the year just end ed 83s vessels with cargoes aggregating over $41,003,003 (to say nothing of the value of the vessels) havo crossed and ro crossed its bar, but also on account of tho vast area of tillable lands that surround tho head waters of its numerous tribu taries, which are as yet almost unsettled, but which will be occupied in the future. A sufficient depth of water is wanted, and can be obtained on tho bar to allow vessels drawing 20 feet, to cross without delay in order to meet the requirements of commerce. In conclusion your memorialists re spectfully ask that this be made u special appropriation, as the appropriation made for the improvement of the Columbia and Willamette rivers is not construed by tho United States Engineers to include or apply to the mouth of the river.

Tf hat the two Latter Think of the Former New Yobk, January, 5. Henry Clews, the well-known banker, says of Villard: "No man ever came to WalJ street with so much encouragement; no man ever had reposed in him so much, confidence; no man ever had a more powerful finan cial backing, and no man ever apparent ly abused such a magnificent opportuni- lv. Tt. mav ho from icnorancc, and it mayb3 from willfulness, which of these can only bo ascertained by an accurate knowledge of the gentleman's present fin ancial status. If it proves that he has been impoverished, like most of his friends, and suffered alike with them in the wreck that has taken place, then he is deserving of sympathy for lacking ability equal to carrying out the gigantic scheme-, placed in his hands. If, on the other hand, Jie ib tounu equal ro liv ing and sustaining himself in the Orient al magnificence his new palatial quarters require, then it is evidence of gross be trayal and sacrifice of the interests placed in his hands and confided to his keeping and management. This is something to be decided by his victims, who aro now feeling so disheartened, owing to their impoverishment, which comes to them as a penalty for the overweighting faith im posed in their trusted friend and adviser. the ntxso roor. "Tho members of tho noted blind pool," continued Mr. Clews, ''are the ones who through the courts can ascertain tho present financial condition of Yillard, who was agent for $12,000,000 of money placed in liLs trust. They stand now and nave ever since been blindfolded as to its use and the methods adopted in connec tion therewith. It is therefore for them to take tho initiative in this matter to ascertain whether they have been wronged or not. If such'has been their fate, then there certainly is a way to ob tain redress and recovery of a part at least of their lost fortunes. It is very evident that the directors of tho North ern Pacific Railroad company ara not giving Villard their support and counte nance, neither are they pleased with his management. Tho bluest day probably of tho year 1833 was tho last one, and the occasion of this was the disenhoartened condition of those bulls who had been hoping almost persistently during the greater part of the year against hope, and finally surrendered from sheer ex haustion. These parties, however, carried into the new year ono advantage, and that is in commencing it with a clean slate, but ?t the cost of a frightfully dim inished bank account." WHAT VAXDEBBILT SATS. Tho Herald prints tho following inter view with "W. H. Vanderbilt in relation to Villard's resignatien: '"I don't know anything as to Villard's failure," said Vanderbilt. I nover was thrown in con tact with him, and. in fact, do not know him at all personally. Was his failure a surprise to mo? Well, no; I cannot say exactly that it was. Since his failure I have read of a good many things about it which havo surprised mo more than did tho crash itself. For instance, this hav ing thrust upon him of millions of dollars of other people's money for investment seems to me very curious. Havo people ever come to you, sir," asked Vanderbilt of the reporter, with an air of skeptical inquiry, "and thrust money into your hands and insisted that yon should in vest it? Did you ever hear of anybody coming to me," continued Vanderbilt, with a still greater air of inquiry, "and putting hundreds of thousands of dollars m my hands to invest for him?" Mr. Vanderbilt paused a moment and then resumed: "No, I do not know any thing about the Northern Pacific. I never owned a dollar's interest in it in my life. I don't suppose it will be greatly effected by what has happened to Villard. Individuals don't amount to so much in these big enterprises." MODEEX FBIEKDSnTP. "Do you believe Villard's friends will rally about him and assist him to a new start?" Vanderbilt was asked. "Bah !" was the reply, "you don't find much of that kind of friendship now adays. They will say 'he was a mighty nice fellow,' or Tm awful sorry for him,' or 'it's too bad." All this don't cost anything, but when you ask 'how much are you sorry for him?' and call upon people to put their hands down in their pockets, that's a different thing. He might be helped to a start in a small way, but what could it bo for a man like Vil lard, who has been accustomed to mani pulate millions, to handle a few thou sands? He would not do it tho sum would be too small. Ho could have no interest in the work. There are some men you can't keep down; they are bound to spring up again, anyhow, but these men aro very few. Yillard, too, is rather old for that kind of thing." HOTEL ABBITALS. OCCIDENT.

Ono morning recently, Secretary Chan dler was observed to rush down the steps of the navy department and mako a bee lino for the White House, holding a tele gram in his hand. Tho president, who was having the finishing touch put to his whiskers, observed his com? jg, and know ing that something had happened, pro ceeded with as much hnsto as oresiden- tial dignity permits down stairs. Secrc- j tary unanuier met mm at the door and i rushed into tho iilue room followed by the president. "What do you think of that, Mr. President?" ho gasped, as he handed tho yellow slip to him. The president read it with, a dark ening brow and a blanching cheek. It was from Alaska, and read thus: "The Chilcats are indignant and refuse to make I any hco-che-noo." "Refuse to mahe anv ' hoo che-noo, do they?" howled the secre- j tary, charging around. Tm blanked if I I know who the Chilcats are, or what hoo-che-noo is, but blanked if thov shan't make it, as sure as my name is William E. Chandler. Beg your pardon, Mr. President." "But what aro you going to do about it, Mr. Secretary?" asked the president. "Shall I issue." an executive proclamation commanding all good citi zens in Alaska to make hoo-che-noo right away? Or Til send tho Tallapoosa down there to get aground and make them pull her off, or tho Alar:n with ner $100,000 steam steering gear that won't work." "Tho Alarm oan't go," gloomily responded tho secretary, "because she wants a liver-pad on her condenser and a porous-plcsrer on her donkey engine, to say nothing of the shin-plasters she neods'all the time. Be sides, she turned bottom upward tho other day when her steam-steering gear got to work and all the officers' clothes have got to be washed. Bat tho blanked hoo-che-noo 1 Pll find out hoo-che-noo before she knows it herself." "And the Chilcats?" murmured the president. "Oh, that's oasy enough,;' responded William. "1 have got to go down to tho Ethnological bureau of the Anthropolo- gical society and they have dead loads of ihilcats down there. It's a fur-boariug animal." "But I thought you said," meekly in terposed the president, "that you are not going to be fur-bearing with them?" "I don't know what I said, Mr. Presi dent," snapped Chandler, highly irfitat ed, "but I mean to get at tho bottom of this hoo-che-noo business if it costs me my portfolio." "Let's get tho dictionary," suggested tho president. Four liveried flunkies en tered with an arm full of dictionaries. "You take Worcester and I'll take Web ster," proposed tho president, to which Chandler agreed. No hoo-che-noo was to bo found, but Chilcat was. It was a tribo of Indians in Alaska. "You said they wero fur-bearing ani mals,'' reproachfully remarked the pres ident. "Well, so I did," said Chandler, look ing rather sheepish, "but it seems to me that that highly figurative Vest told mo bo." "If I were you," said tho president, "I shouldn't believe all Senator ve it's yarns. Vest, you see, is subject to hallucina tions about fish he has caught, and so on, and he has several times told me things that I wouldn't I wouldn't havo believed if anybody else but Vest had told me. But hoo-che-noo supposa you inquire if there is a hoo-che-noo at "the patent office?" Accordingly the secre tary started off to the patent office, the postoffice, and the pension office, all to no avail, but when he reached the navy department, wearied and discouraged, there, from the very first point of obser vation, the solution was had! The Chilcats ara dwellers in Alaska, and hoo-che-noo is a liquid possessing some of the charms of Kentucky bourbon, and the Chilcats had notified all and sundry that if they did not do something or other thoy would continue to hold the hoo-che-noo in bond until somebody arrived orsomething hap pened. The president, who expected to toss on his sleepless couch tortured with tho mystery of hoo-che-noo, did not lose one wink o'f sleep. Throat, Bronchial, and Lunc Diseases a specialty.
