A visit to the spacious hall in Pythian

orate preparations have been made to
insure the party's being the event of the

. J. W. 'Welch's new block is fast ap

JSome big papers have been left on our

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.

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.

Sturgeons n Dry Land.
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.

said a'firm mother to her son. "Didn't I

"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."
