w Witt gaily gtftflrau. A. V. Allen, ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY FEBKUAKY 28. 1884 Moke tliaa 3000 children attend the Portland public schools. The house that Yillard built will cost, when completed, $1,030,000. The Columbia and Snake rivers are free from ice and boats have resumed their regular trips. Ei Mahdi says he proposes to con quer the whole earth. It is pleasant to find one man who knows what he wants. The Portland News will be sold at auction next Wednesday. Here is a splendid chance for expectant poli ticians. - " The 'highest rate of postage from .this country is to Patagonia and the island of St. Helena twenty-seven cents per half-ounce. An attempt was made to burn the state university at Eugene last Mon day, but, fortunately, the fire was dis covered in time to prevent any dam age. Minnesota's assessed valuation of taxable property amounts to $334, 459,359. That state raised last year 33,773,200 bushels of wheat from 259,794 acres. Tt will be worth observing how the northwest communities will treat Yillard when he comes out next ApriL Astoria has the only satisfactory rec- ' orcTin this respect. 0'LT four states are represented in both houses of congress by natives, according to the congressional direc tory. These states are Delaware, Maine, South Carolina and Vermont Fob the last month the czar has been in such a deplorable state of "nervous depression that to all intent and purposes he may be regarded as insane. He is said to be thoroughly terror-stricken, and lives in a state of panic which would be ludicrous if it did not produce such melancholy con sequences. The king of Sweden has sanctioned the revised translation of the New - Testament in that language. It will now be used in the churches and schools throughout the kingdom. In this direction Sweden has marched more quickly than either Britain or America. The version displaced was one of the best of the reformation translations. Pkesidextiaii gossip is increasing as the days wear by. Tilden seems to be the old man of the sea as re gards the Democratic part, and there are not lacking those who say that he would be a strong candidate. The Sun emphatically denies that he wants the nomination, but as he is " 'himself reported desirous of secur ing that honor, his own ideas upon the subject are at least entitled to a respectful hearing. The year 1900 will not be a leap ' year, although it is divisible by four without a remainder. In order to make a calendar and solar time agree as nearly as they can be got for many years to come, the Gregorian calendar drops three leap years out of every four centuries, and these occasions are upon such leap years as will not .'divide by four hundred without a remainder, although they can be di vided evenly by four. The year 1600 was a leap year, but 1700 and 1800 were not, and 1900 will not be. The girls should niaks a note of this. 'In that interesting British ballad "The Ratcatcher's Daughter," it is said that the unfortunate lover of the young woman "Cat his throat with a piece of glass, .And stabbed his donkey after. ' fThis unique method of shuffling off the mortal coil was also adopted re cently in Philadelphia by a railroad conductor, who, in a moment of in- sanity, broke a window pane, and, . with a piece of the glass thus ob tained, inflicted wounds upon himself 1 whereof he died. The man who de t aires to quit this life is rarely at a loss for means, as the acts of suicides ,J5 attest . One of the natural but unfortunate ' effects of the common doctrine of everlasting punishment is the effect it has had -in weakening the sense of r, moral retribution. Mr. P. T. Barnum, in' a recent interview with aSwi re porter, showed this in a telling anec dete: "Putting punishment away off in a dim and indefinite future is not making much of a present influence. Ittreminds me of a chap who was caught by a deacon in the act of Stealing a piece of silk. 'Don't you know you will have to pay for that silk at the day of judgment?' said the deacon. Fdno idea you gave such I long credit, or I'd have taken two pieces,' replied the thief." i'; .THE CELEBRATED :1Eoley Springs. PETEB EUNEY.
