George Wheeler is drawing a map of the city 'which, when completed, will be a valuable addition to the topography of Astoria. Notwithstanding his other pressing duties let it not bo forgotten that Sheriff Twombly is still tax collector, and the days go by. For overland shipments of salmon a cSrload is reckoned at 850 cases, weigh ing 25,200 pounds; 1.2. a cwt. is the tariff on this freight. Teacher: "Now, children, which one ofjyou can toll me what a consonant is?" Bright bey: "I can! It's a portion of land surrounded by water.' The fire alarm boxes are being put in place. One is in position on the Astoria Iron Works and makes up in utility what it lacks in ornamentation. Now that the cold east wind blows, the man that stopped his paper "to econo mize" is going to cut off his nose to keep from buying handkerchiefs. The Portland Boprd of Trade has ac complished a very difficult task made a two column report concerning Columbia river improvement with but one casual mention of Astoria. The comet that shines so brightly in the southwest shone last over Astoria in 1812. There was no road to Skipanon then; there is none now. It willfhine again in 1963. -Capt. J. H. D. Gray goes to Portlard this morning to attend a special meeting of tho board of pilot commissioners, called to investigate charges concerning Pilot Bichardson. Ben Worsley is back from sotting np and regulating the new firo engine for the Olympians. The Olympia city coun cil'passed a special resolution thanking him for his assistance. The building season Of '84 has begun. New buildings are projected in different parts of the city. Street work is neces sarily postponed till the days act a little differently from the present. Prof. A. L. Francis arrived from Victo rialast evening. He is stopping at the Occident. Anyone wishing his services to tune their piano can call or send word at-any timo during the week. If your flue is foul and you haven't time to clean the chimney, place a piece of zinc on the live coals in the stove; the vapor produced will chemically de compose the soot and earry it off. Capt. Foster, an old Shoalwater bay resident, is in the city. He is interested in the Yaquina bay railroad and says matters open lively in '84 down that way. There is some talk of getting the Gen. Canby. down there for towing, etc. There should be an agancv hero for the sale of tide tables of the U. S. survey. The nearest agency at present is at Port land. Proper representation on the part of our Chamber of Commerce would, probably, correct the inconvenience. A visit to the spacious hall in Pythian Castle yesterday afternoon showed that the scene of to-night's leap year party has been most tastefully arranged. Elab orate preparations have been made to insure the party's being the event of the season. . J. W. 'Welch's new block is fast ap proaching completion. A feature of this building is the division of the second s'tpry into three room suites. There are nine of these suites, and their ease of access renders them desirable for office or family use. - Messrs. Fox and Mulkey each gave bonds yesterday in the circuit court in Ihejsnm of $100 and were released.

Captain Roberts take3 charge of the Banning upon her arrival in Portland. JSome big papers have been left on our 4esk since hew Year's, embracing holiday issues from all parts of the country. The largest was received from HrB. Parker yesterday, being tho New Year's issue of the Chicago Tribune, sent him by A. G. Fisher, of that city. It contains 24 pages and would take a -week to thoroughly read it. "Under date 'of the -4th inst, W. S. Block writes to The Astobuh ironi For. Warren, Massachusetts. He was for a long time at Fort Canbv, and slates that .companies "&," end "i, th artillery, formerly at Fort Canbv are now at Fort -Wtrren. In some respects tho officers like the change; the attractions that Boston affords are not counterbalanced by the disemfdrts -arising from chill At lantic winds. An Upper Astoria subscriber has struck anew industry. For several mornings lie has missed The Astobiax, and on yes terday morning looking in the box where the carrier usually places tho paper he found a quanti,ty of dimes, correspond ing in number with the number of papert , st o purchased. As The Astoeian costs .Mm but fifteen cents a week it has set hVim to figuring. An Upper Astoria agency , is needed and he will probably get it. ? The court house was full all day yester dijf too full; there is danger of a terrible 'Accident from the floor of the court room civing way. Yesterday afternoon nieces ijfplaster fell from ceilings of the lower -xfc&; should any panic occur, the hor yor of the occasion would be increased by fee -xiiserably inadequate means of egress. The narrow door and squeezed ' stair way would not admit of getting out. It is baa enough to have a ''court house" that would be a disgrace to any cow coun ty on the coast, but it -would ba terrible to have a score of human lives sacrificed. The Emigration of '84. Conversation with Oregonians who have been cast in '83 always elicits tho statement: "There will bo a big immi gration to this northwest coast thisyear." And it is undoubtedly the case. When ever tho vray is made easy, the multitude flock in. Tho completion of the N. P. B. B. was too lato in tho season for much travel over the finished line, but in a short time will come hundreds and thousands on every conceivablo errand, 3omo to make homes, others to go into business, more to work at trades and professions, a still greater proportion looking for something, they hardly know what, and the rest drifting, going because others, are going, and without definite aim orparpose. There are two kinds of emigration; the one desirable, the other undesirable; the one helpful, the other hurtful. Home dwellers on this northwest coast have worked hard for what they have; when ever a man in Oregon is found "well fixed." in ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred it will be found that he has worked hard for it; that he has painfully earned it, that his money or his farm or his bus iness or his stocK ot goods represent ai good deal of hard, unremitting toiL No man here has ''jumped into a good thing." There are no "soft snaps." The right kind of men will do well when they come here in '84. They will help the country and themselves; the other kind will be of no account. Mere numbers signify nothing. A city may have 100,000 people and have few citizens; may disclose large census returns and possess little of the elements of prosperity, of stability or permanence. Men are tho same wherever they go. Coming west won't change their disposi tions. If a man is a cipher in Iowa or Pennsylvania or Missouri ha will not turn into an integer by emigrating to Oregon. The people that "are needed here in 84 are a class that will help themselves and the place they will go to live; not a hin drance and a burden; a man that is a bill of costs to the community to which he unfortunately goes, would do better to stay where he is now; it will be batter for himself, for his children, prasent or pros pective, and for the haples3 community that might be saddled with him. The emigration of '84 is a problem. Seal Estate Transactions. la Taylor to C. Taylor, e't al N K dona tion land claim; $1 E. C. French to J. P. Scethan: lot 5, block 53, Olney's Astoria; 115. E. C.

A Portland man who made 100.000 on real estate in '83 is exhibiting signs of insanity. After all the safest way to make money is in the newspaper business the coin is so long coining that you sort o get used to it. , There is a present .sc ireity of small change. Ten and twenty dollar pieces are plenty enough, but silver is scarce. Nothing so disconcerts a sensitive man as to be obliged to fumble over a handful of gold, trying to find a ten cent or two bit piece. The port of Falmouth, which is this season optional with Qneaustown for Astoria clearing vessels, is generally the first port approached by Australian and Cape vessels Hearing England, and is, among other characteristics, remarkable for swift vessels owned by enterprising Falmouth clothiers. They are sometimes met 100 miles west of the Scillies, cruis ing about, and when a ship is sightod they board her and make sales to the sailors, which are deducted from their pay when they get to port. Ax Infat's Idea. "Mamma," asked a little girl yesterday, ""does the sun go to bed when it sets in the evening?" "I suppose so," absent-mindedly re plied the mother. "What makes everything so red? Does it blush because it has to go to bed right out where everybody can see it?" "I shouldn't be surprised, my dear." "Well," continued tho little girl, thoughtfully, "if I were in the sun's place I would cover myself up with clouds." A Big Scheme, Tho latest idea in rail roads is away ahead of anything that VilJard over dreamed of in his wildest nights of imagination. It is to build a line of road from San Francisco north ward, to Astoria, and connecting at tins point with roads from Portland, Forest Grove, thence running northward by ferry transfer to Puget Sound, and skirt ing the Alaska coast run northwest to Behring's Straits; the thirty odd miles of water to bo crossed by another stoutly built transfer boat, and the rails laid down the Knmchatkan coast to Corea, and China, thence westward to Ispahan and the Caspian, finally terminating at Constantinople. The Mubdeb Texai- The court-room was crowded yesterday, the third day of the trial of the three Leahy brothers for the alleged murder of John Leonard. Seldom has there such interest been evinced in any criminal case. The evi dence was all in bv three in the after noon, when X. N. Steeves, on behalf of the prosecution addressed the jury. He spoke for an hour and three-quarters and was followed bv F. D. Wmton for the defense who suoke for an hour, followed by C. W. Ful ton for the defense who also made a plea of an hour's duration. District At torney McBride closed on behalf of tho state m a speech of an hour and a quarter after which the judge charged the jury and at eleven o'clock last night they re tired to consider upon their verdict. Well Off, Belitively. To a party who was commenting on the prevalent scarcity of money yesterday, a Portland visitor said: "Why, you folks hero in Astoria don't know what tightness in tho money market is; vou ought to try and borrow money in Portland, Last week I wanted 1000 and tried to get it of Ho said (and I believe he told the truth), 'I haven't got it, but I'll endorse your note, though I don't think that will do any good.' He did so, and after a whole morning I got tho monev. I told him of it and his characteristic answer was, 'I'll bet you ten dollars you didn't get the mnnnr frnm n ViotiV amf lift Trrnn T-irrht' That times aro dull and money scarce is the universal comment, but, relatively, wo of Astoria feel the prevailing strin gency in a far less degree than in other communities.

In September last, while superintend ing repairs to a dam across Pearcy's slough, a minor channel which connects the Willamette and Columbia rivers at medium stages, but is bare at low water, I observed a number of slides, such as would hare been made by dragging heavy, smooth, cylindrical bodies up tho banks of the slough, which are five feet high and very steep, and across tho low level island between the slough and the Columbia into tho latter. The soil of the island and its banks, consisting of sandy loam formed by the annual deposits of the summer floods of tho Columbia, with a scanty covering of grass and young willow sprouts from one to three inches high, was plainly marked with these slides, which seemed to have been made by bodies from six to eighteen inches in diameter, all leading in direct lines to and terminating on the bank of the Co lumbia. At first I thought they were made by beaver or seals, which penetrate the sloughs along the Columbia during the summer run of salmon, but the large size of one of the slides showed that it could not have been made by either seal or beaver. I inquired of tho men em ployed on the work, one of whom, a fish erman, said, "That is a sturgeon trail." They get among the sloughs when the river is up. . and when tho water begins to fall they strike a bee line for tho river. Sometimes they die before they get there." Acting on this suggestion, I looked carefully among tho young willows near tho bank of the Columbia and found at the end of a largo slide, and within six feet of the bank, the carcass of a sturgeon nearly seven feet long, with its head pointing toward the river. Its strength exhausted by crawl ing eighty feet overland, had failed when almost within reach of its native clement. Forest and Stream. The Printers' "Thirty." The printers of a newspaper office have a significant term for nearly everything connected with their trade. They speak to an extent in u language common to themselves; and the noviceor tho appren tice has first to learn tho language of the printers, and next tho language of tho types, Among the words peculiar to the craft the word "thirty' is perhaps most often used and possessed of tho most meaning. "Thirty" is the end. It is what "finis" is to a book or death to an individual. When "thirty" is reached the weary compositor drops his stick. The day's work is dono. How the term originated nobody seems to know, but from the printer it has fallen to tho edi tor and become a portion of tho educa tion of -the telegraph operator who handles press reports. The last page of "copy" from the editor-in-chief bears the "thirty' which indicates that the thoughts concerning the news of the dav have been presented as fully as may be; the last proof from tho proof reader tells tho story in tho api ended "thirty" that his day's work is dono; the "thirty" from the city editor denotes the completion of the record of tho city's daily life, and the "thirty" on the manifold paper received from the telegraph operator conveys the information that the. story of its waking hours is finished.

"Conic hero to me," said a'firm mother to her son. "Didn't I tell you that I'd whip you if you went down town?" "Yessum," standing on one foot. "What made you go? Say!" "Cause," standing on the other foot. 'Didn't you know Fd whip you? "YessunT," showing by his manner that he didn't. "I'm a great mind to wear you out. If you go outside tho yard again to-day I'll whip you." About ten minutes afterwards she sees the boy playing in tho street, and calls him. He comes reluctantly. "Didn't I tell you Fd whip you if you wtnt outside tho yard?' "Yessum." "Why did you do it?" "'Cause." "You good for nothing little rascal, I'm a great mind to wear you out. If you go outside this yard again to-day Fll whip you, if it's the last act of my life. Do you hear me?" "Yessum."
