A meeting was held in Mayor Hume's office yesterday afternoon to take into consideration the formation of a joint stock company to build a staamer to jily between here and Gray's harbor, and transact a general freight and passenger business between the two ports. It was decided to incorporate, the arti cles of incorporation to be substantially as follews: "We, the undersigned, being desirous of forming a corporate body for the purpose hereinafter stated, to be incorporated under the laws of Oregon governing the same, do certify: First That the cor porate name of the company shall be The Astoria and Coast Transportation company.' Second The object for which the company is formed is to build and complete a steamboat or steamboats or other vessels, or for the purchase or sale of any craft the company may desire, and for the building of docks and ware houses, or acquiring the same by pur chase. AIbo for the purpose of carrying passengers and freight, and for towing or any other legitimate business usual in the line of steam boating, on the waters of the Columbia river from its mouth to Portland, Oregon, and of the Pacific ocean from Astoria to San Franoisco, Cal., to the south, and from Astoria, Oregon, to Sitka, Alaska, on the north. "The amount of the capital stock of the company shall be $25,003, divided into 250 shares, of the par value of $100 each, with liberty to increase the same whenever it may bo deemed necessary or desirable so to do. The duration of the company shall bo fifty years. The number of directors of said company shall be five, and the prin cipal place of business shall be Astoria, Oregon." Messrs. Hume, Hustler, Cooper, Fisher and tiers are the incorporators. Yesterday afternoon 14,000 of the re quired amount was subscribed by those gentlemen. The Washingtonian Pack ing Company will take $509, and the Aberdeen Packing Company $1,030. Mr. Hume goes to Gray's harbor to-morrow to give residents there an opportunity to subscribe, as it is thought but just to give that end of the route an opporfun lty to own some of the stock. "In reference to this enterprise it is but necessary to append the following from the Chehalis Vidette of January 3L Speaking of the project., that paper says: "Mr. Hume proposes, provided he can be assured of the carrying trade between here and Portland, to build a steamer especially for the route, he hav ing personal interests in the valley, to warrant him in doing this, if he can get the freightage of this section in ad dition to his own business. Should he build this vessel she will bo of ample di mensions, and in every respect quaified for the wants of the trade, and she would also be prepared to make trip3 whenever business - demanded. Mr. Hume is a business man of known standing, and if he identifies himself with this enterprise, all interested in it may feel assured that it will prove a success. He will be here in about two weeks for the purpose of, if possible, closing the arrangements for putting on the steamer, and we feel confident that our people will not fail to favorably meet, and univers ally enaorse nis proposition, ior it la en tirely worthy of the most favorable re ceDtion." The enterprise starts under the most favorable auspices and will doubtless prove a success. It is simply a question who secures the trade, Portland, or As toria; as usual our seaport city is ahead.

Johnson, the Ainsworth agent of the Northern Pacific at Ainsworth, Las been arrested on a charge of stealing a package containing $18,74 in greenbjeks sent by Ladd fc Tiltou from Portend to Ainsworth through the N.

Next morning the dead man's squaw set fire to their cabin, and burned up everything that had belonged to him. This appears to be a custom with these Indians. It is reported that negotiations are pending for the purchase of tae Capitol Flouring Mills of Salem by the C.ty of Salem i louring Mills company, limited. A corporation has been created'out of the latter company, with a capital of $'00, 000 for that purpose. It is probable that negotiations will soon close and te transfer will follow. The condition of things in northern Alaska is reported to be alarming.

An ad ditional justice of the Supremo Court is also to be appointed. Yesterday's Meeting of Cannerjmen. Pursuant to call a meeting of the Co lumbia river cannerymen was held in the court house yesterday morning. The meeting was called to order by J. W Hume, and on motion C.Lsinsnweberwas elected chairman, and S. D. Adair secre tary. Twenty-three canneries out of thirty seven had representatives present, and after some desultory discussion the meet ing adjourned to 7 o'clock p. m. Upon reassembling about the same number app2ared. The subject of the meeting was the proposed reduction of the number of boat3 to ba run on the river during the coming season. The di?oxssion took a wide range, and indi cated a variety of opinion on the part of those present. It was finally decided that all the cmnerymen allow their indi vidual interests to be their guide in de termining the extent of the proposed re duction, and the meeting adjourned sine die. It seems to bo the general under standing that about two-thirds of the number run last year will ba pat in the water this season. This would plaoe the number at 1000, more or less. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

T , The Quickest Vovage to China,' "The Contest of the Clippers," "Great Pas sago from San Francisco," "Bace Around the Wond." Tbe clipper ship Surprise, built in East Boston by Mr. Hall, and owned by A. A. Low & Tiro., having sailed to San Francisco in Ob" days then the shortest time on record(W. H. Aspiu wall's Sea Witch had run the course in 97 days) a San Francis-co journal said: "Ono'of our most distinguished mer chants made a bet witn a friend some weeks since that the Surprise would make the passage in 9G days just the time she has consumed to a day. Yes terday morning, full of confidence, he mounted his old nag and rode over to the north beach to get the first glimpse of the looked-for clipper. The fog, how ever, was rsther thick outside, and after looking twhile he turned back to town, but hud not arrived at his cjuutiug-rojm bsforehe he.ird that the Surprise had pas-ou the Golden G.ite,uud by 11 o'clock dp!. Dumaresq was in his old friend's counting-room on San.-;ouic street. She had brou-ht 1,830 tons of cargo, which may be estimated at a value of 200,0J0. Her manifest is 25 feet long." Her greatest run was 231 miles in 21 hours, and she reefed her topsails but twice dur ing the voyage of 10,303 miles. She soon left San Francisco for London, by way of Canton, and on reaching t'iP English cap ital her receipts for fre'ghts hd3 entirely paid her co-t "jii running expanses, ba .i:u!8 ueiiui;- L-r..iiurri a clear pront of 7.U J. -it Canton her freight for Lon don .?as engaged at 6 a ton, while the English ships were taking freight at J2.1 and 1 a ton; and this was tne second season that the preference had been given to American snips at advanced rates, their shorter passages enabling shippers to receive prompt returns from their in vestments; to save interest and to secure n early market. "If ships," said a Cal ifornia'nowspaper, "can bo built to make such trips as this, steamers for long.pas sages wi:l be ut a discount. California ha.s done much tovird the com mencement of u new era in ship-building wnen tne heavy, clumsy models of past days have givon uway to the new and beautiful one of the Surprise and others of the same build." "The Californians, ' said a New York newspaper, "are in ecstacies over our clipper ships, which come and depart like so many "winged Pega&uses. T'nen? aw now on tha way to the Pacific, and ready to start for that portion of the world, as splendid vessels as tho eye ever rested upon, and com manded by men whose knowledge of their profession cannot be excelled, and each .determined to do his utmost to be first in this clipper contest." Tho whole country, indeed, was stirred by the beauty, the spaed and the trumplis of these American clippers. The Houqua. Capt. Daniel McKenzie, built by Brown fc Bell for A. A. Low fc Brov made the trip from Shanghai to New lork in 18j0 in t8 da3'S, then the shortest ever made between these ports. The Samuel Hus sell, Captain N. B. Palmer, owned by the same firm, sailed in one day in 1851, on her voyage horns from Whampoa, China, 318 miiei, or 1S miles an hour a speed then greater than had been obtained by any ocsan steamer. For thirty days in succession, from the 8th of November to the 7th of December, she averaged 22o mile.j a day, covering in that period G, 72J miles, or one-half the distance be tween China and New York. On another occasion, while going to Canton, she sailed 323 miles in one day "Now sir," wrote one of her skippers, 'I humbly sub mit if that is not a feat to boast of if that Is not an achievement to entitle a ship to be classed among clippers?" On her return voyage she had the honor oi reporting in New York the news of her own arrival at Canton. Tho Flying Cloud, 1,782 tons, built by Donald McKay oi East Boston, commanded by Captain Josiah P. Creasy, of Marblehead, went in 1851 to San Francisco from New York m 84 days tho fastest trip ever mado by a sailing vesiel, and 12 days shorter than that of the Swrprise. Lieut. Maury, of the United States naval observatory at Wash ington, reported that the greatest distance "ever performed from noon to noon on the ocean was 433 statue miles by the clipper ship Flying Cloud in her celebrated passage of 81 days from Ner xor to San Francisco, which yet stands unequalled." The Northern Light ot Boston left San Franciso on the 13th of M iy, 1853, and reached Boston the 29th of 5iay following, thus sailing more than lG.OOJ miles in 77 days, an average of over 200 miles a day. Splendid is the record of the Sovereign of the Sjos, com manded by Capt. L. McKay, and built by his brother, Donald McKay. Tuis noble vessel left New York for San Francisco in August, 1851, with freight, for carry ing which she would receive $84,000 a marvelous sum to-day a barrel of flour on her arrival selling for 44; and when off Valparaiso in a storm was dismasted, everything above the mastheads of her fore and mainmasts being carried awuy. In fourteen days sue was rigged at sea, and proceeding on her way to California, reached her destination in 102 days from New York, in spite of the aecident and detention the best passage evor made at. that season of the year. The picture of tho Sovereign of Uie bias in her disman tled condition, which has been engraved for this article, was sketched at the time by one of her passengers, a clever boy of eight years, and afterwards "toccaed up" bv an artist, and is pronounced by Capt. MjKay to be an accurate an J faithful delineation. Seventy feet of her fore mast and mainmast are gone, and also four sails on each mast. Having dis charged her cargo, the clipper sailed for Honolulu, and loaded with oil for New York, which she reached in 82 days a pas3ag3 never equalled, .tor lu.OJO ui.les she sailed without wearing or tack ing, and in ten days she made 300 miles. Loading again for Liverpool, she left on a Saturday, the 13th of June, 1852. On Sunday, the iCtb, she was becalmed on the banks of New Foundland; but at midnight a breeze sprung up, and on the following Saturday at 5 o'clock v. m. she dropped anchor in the Mersey another passage never equalled, bhe had sailed from the Banks to Liverpool in five days and a half; and from New xork to Liverpool in the unprecedented time of 13 days and 19 hours. One dav she sailed 340 miles; on the same day the Cunard steamer Canada, which had left Boston almost simultaneously with the Sovereign of the Seas, made only 3J6 miles. To-day, thirty years afterward, it is enlivening to read in the newspapers of that time the editorial articles on the splendid performances of that splendid ship. But her story is not told yet. On the 10th of May, 1853, Lieut. M. F. Maury reported to James C. Dobbin, sec retary of the navy, that the clinDer shiD Sovereign of the Seas, 2,421 tons, on a voy age from San Francisco, had made "the enormous run of 6,245 miles" in 22 days, a daily uverage of 283.9 miles, and that tho greatsst d.stauce traversed from noon one day to the noon of tho next day was 419 miles. After his illustrious pzrform ance on the ocean, Capt. McKay is now a shipping merchant in South street, New York city. His brother, Donald Mciay, the builder, died sometime since in Bos ton, ror tne meritorious wort oi rigging Yal- nraiso, Capt. McKay was presented by Walter B. Jone3, President of the At lantic Mutual lnsuranoa company, on behalf of the underwriters, with a mas sive and costly silver dinner service. O. W. Sheldon. Cse Dimmit fit Cough BAlxani. J.

At W.E. Dement &Co.'s. Those Xanghtj Men. A woman always wants to be a man. Tho absolute strain of having to keep pure and respectable is so great on a nipn that he never dreams of wanting to bo a woman. There would bo a nico row in the world if a man had to stand the same judgment as a woman, and suffer the same penalties fcr offenses against social rules. And yet I believe that if women had all the privileges of men they would decline to make use of one-half of them. If their curiosity were satisfied once their taste would rise against indulgence. I knew a lady who had a very great curi osity to Eee a prize-fight. She had an opportunity once in the country to se& a little bit from safe cover. She stood ex actly live inindtes of tho preliminary and when the first blow was struck sne said "lake me home. If that is what men like I don't want to be a :mia. After all, what Is it all this illicit en joyment which men talk about? It is turee-fourths sham. A man goes off to a littl dinner at a restaurant with some jovial companions, lie can huvo the same dinner with his wife or his lady friends. He dnnks wme and indulges in conversation that he never reoalis, that has no pleasure whatever. He sometimes gets drunk and maKtS an ass of himself. I'ue sober people have lots of fun with him. He goes home m a disgraceful con dition, wakes ap next morning with a "head" on him, swaars at himself for having made a beast of himself, Is haunted for a week with vague fears of what he may have done, finds that he has an enormous bill to pay, and having for gotten everything that occurred after the soup, loses his conscience and deftnds himself to his friends by decmring tnut he had a rood timo. All that he has really enjoyed, all that he knows any tuing about, all that he himself believes creditab.e, he might have had at his own dinner-table in company with his wife and his friends. And he kicks because his wife is a little bud-tempered ovor hav ing to get up and receive him in a limp bundle from a hackman, and put him to bed in the middle of tho nigut. I saw one evening a company of roys terers trying to takd one of taeir number, hopelessly drunk, hoaw.. They started, six of them, to curry hiui down stairs. He was wriggiiug and ho finally worked nimsolf out of his coat. He full on the atairs, but they went on and carried tho coat, with enormous effoit, down half u dozen steps before they had found out taut they had left the man behind. At lust they got to the hack that stood at the door. How to get him in was the question. A happy tnought struck them. Une went rouno and opened the door on tho street side and tried to drag him in. He would not go. Tnen they closed that door and two oi them got into the hack, tainking he would follow on their invita tion t j enter. He staggered to his feet, shook hands with tuem, said "Good night," shut tho door, waved his hand to the driver with a drunken "All ri," and then fell down in a heap on the sidewalk. He said next day he had had a good time, but he did not remember uuytning later than 8 o'cloct, and this was 2 o'clock in the morning. I don't believe any woman seriously wants to have that kind of privilege. There is simp.y an awful lot of humbug in this good-nine business. in most coses it shows what a low state a man's self-respect has got into and gives the woman an opportunity to de spise men, which they would be oetter to exerj.se a lit .e mjra frojiy. Temp&r, .a uij.ii doss not care for. it gives nim a reasonable excuse for his conduct and is a kind ot expiation of his sins. But con tempt few men can endure, and silent contempt is the most potent power a woman has. A woman always lets out ner feelings and the man knows exactly where he stands. The quiet woman is always the master of the hous3. There :s an impression about that the club is a pmce of wild fun and excite ment. Women are always crazy to know .v-iiat men do in the c.uu, e ipaj lally in thb evenings. I will tell them. A bach elor makes his club his place for reading, writing and generally amusing himseif. He goes up the.-e when he has nothing to do. Ho nuds four people ph y.ng whist, tnree at anothei table playing soma other 'i,me. He walks through tLe rooms, sits down in an oasy-chair, takes up a paper, throws it down, tries another with no more enjoyable result, yawns, swears to mmself, looks out :it the window, wonders what he will do with himself, looks at hi6 watch, wishes to hsaven he had some agreeable circle of home life to go into, and after losing himself for an hour, goes home to his room and goes to bed. To tho married man the main use of a club in the ovenings is to enable him to bore himself away from his faniLy Wi.en ho really goes there. Tuero is a fascina tion to some men in having their drinks brought to them and in signing cards or paying for them, and cubs aro full of that f ascinution. Tnere are other men who can fill up quietly at tho club, and no man cares about getting drunk at home. But although sometimes a man may meet with a merry party and have a good deal of fun, tho best fun of a club can bi indulged in at home by drawing around you the friends who are congen ial, and it costs a great deal less money.
