The telephone list increases: Max Wagner, F. D. "Winton and Thomes & Enowles were added yesterday. The Tillie E. Starbuck, the first full rigged iron ship ever built in the United States, arrived down last evening. Beginning with the State next Sunday, the San .Francisco steamers will hereafter arrive and depart every four days. There will be a sociable uuder the auspi cesof the Fresbytenan church at the residence of S. T. Moieau this evening. The Orasmere arrived out last Mon day.

She leaves out to-day with 450 tons freight for Ya quina, and from there goes to San Fran cisco to load rails for the O. F. R. R. Co. She will-be here again in about six weeks. There are a great many idle men in the city, something very unusual in Astoria. All departments of labor are well sup 5 lied, and anyone thinking about look lg for work should not leave any certain position to come here for some little time. "I will kiss the man whom my soul reveresi" sings Ella Wheeler. If Ella doesn't train herself to be a little more definite she will some day stampede the entire male population and cause Gov. Moody and others to forget that at C. H. Cooper's X. X. L. store is the handsomest display of dress goods north of San Fran cisco. ' Egyptian mummies when ground fine and mixed with turpentine are said to make an excellent quality of red paint. Such a disposition would bring these an cient people to almost as humiliating a utilization as would be the case were Imperial C3ar dead and turned to clay to stop a hole to keep the wind away from the man that doesn't know that Carl Adler's stock of blank books and fancy stationery at the Crystal p?laoe is the finest in Astoria. Nearly all the salmon caught since Monday have found ready sale in the city at prices ranging from $1.25 upwards. Whan ae salmon first appear they are eagerly sought after in Astoria, but though -it is the headquarters of the galmon industry it is astonishing how little of our staple product we consume. There li nothing so delicious in the fish line as salmon, and when prepared as our cannerymen alone know how, it is be yond compare. These remarks are sug gested -by the experience of a prominent canner-on the river who last season put away several cases of his own brand for winter consumption, and who ussd it ail wsntar in nref erence to eeas of uncertain ace. and other combustibles. Should tie foreign market prove wholly unsat sfao tory Astorians can easily solve the prob lem. "What shall we do with our saimon pKcW"- Tke First of the Season. Ever since salmon fishing on the Co lnmbia river got to be a competitive busi neeejSWm. Hume, the pioneer packer, hta made a point of shipping from his Eagie Cliff.establiahment the first lot of canned salmon of the season, usually about the Sd oLthe month. As to-day is the Sd, be is not a bit behind his usual time, as in formation comes that to-day he sends 65 caseafrom Portland. Yesterday evening axne 24 cases to be shipped on the ocean teaxaer from this oity, so that this time ha "double-banks" the game. Astoria Fire Alarm. No." of Box.

A Khartoum dispatch says that unless English troops arrire soon all will be lOHt. Bismarck, with Kaiser William'rf con- sent, will retire from the Prussian nnn- istry. A bill was introduced in the senate on Monday, by Senator Dolph, to provide for the appropriation of 30,000 to pjv for the expfcnses of a militarv .xnadition for the oxploratiDn of Alaska Eugene Sullivan, who lately resigned the San Francisoo collectorship, has been offered the Chinese mission, but declined it. They think in Washington that ho may accept the St. Petersburg embassv, but are not sure. Eugene is probablv coming to fish on tho Columbia this season. Senator Mahone, from the committee on public buildings, has reported with favorable recommendations, Dolph's bill authoring the construction of a now custom house building at Portland. The original appropriation proposed by this bill was $jOO,000. The committee re duced it to $250,000, which they consider sufficient for the purpose. Murat Halstead, editor of the Com mercial Gazette, Cincinnati, reviews the riot in that city in the following dispatch to New Yerk: The number of persons killed and wounded in the riots thus far is about 200. The last fatal shot fired in anger up to this time, was fired between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday morning, though a poor soldier boy was killed last even ing by the accidental discharge of his gun. The court-house is not an utter ruin, as it was at first supposed to be. A large proportion of the valuable records were saved. The money-that was in the treasury is all safe. The vaults, which were very heavy, are mainly good. We have confidence that there will not be a repetition of the three nights riot that will be so memorable here, but only the overwhelming force of state troops prevents further disastrous demonstrations. The determination to lynch a gang of murderers, in prison and release a crowd who have been made prisoners, is something terrific. Secret meetings were held yesterday that wou'd mean mischief if there were not thou sands of rifles and several batteries at hand. The excited people had real griev ances to begin with, for tho administra tion of criminal law has been damnable, and the (influence of sheer criminals n public affairs alarming. That whicn has happened we may hope will make an irresistable influence that will lead to better ways. Bosenberg's Superior Lacqsert. Mr. W. E. Waters, representing D. Rosenberg & Son's celebrated lacquers, at present a guest at the Occident hotel, has a large shipment of their goods to arrive within a week, and their lacquers can be had in lots to suit through John W. Hume of this city. Mr. Waters says that their lacquers furnished this Beason contain a much larger percentage of turpentine than heretofore, and, although they do not sell it for turpentine lacquer, they are convinced that it contains as much turpentine as the article sold by others as 3 pure turpentine lacquer, at a much higher price. Th6y have improved the quality so much that all competitors are away behind them in point of excel lence, and they are ready to demonstrate this to the packers on the Columbia river. The question of danger of their lacquers compared with others was care fully looked into 13 thorn prior to ship ping this year's supply, and thoy have , absolutely found thoir'a safer than the so-called ''pure turpentine lacquer" auu other brands now on this const in point of color-spreading qualities and dura bility, they are way ahead of all others, and thoy are not imposing upon the pack ers by charging an outrageous price for an inferior article called turpentine lacquer. Fair dealing and superior value invariably wins in commercial contests. The price of their improved lacquer thib season is $1.75 par gallon here, tnd as they require nearly two gallons of turpen tine for reducing, it makes the cost of the mixture ready for use, at the present price of turpentine, about 59 cents, "and don't you forget it." The question ol any lacquers being endorsod by the board of underwriters is erroneous, and anyone stating that such is the case has been, to say tho least, misinformed. These lacquers, reduced with spirits of turpen tine, are as much in the estimation ot the board of underwriters as any other so called pure turpentine,with one exception. After their experience in testing the dif ferent brands taken to them at their olfiaa in San Franc:sco, they admitted that this lacquer looked better in overy respoot and was as safe as any in the market. Tea, Yerllr "How much of "a bill have you got against me, Blim?" caked Smith of a prominent merchant. "Oh, a mere trifle ahem 1 a mere trifle, Mr, Smith, Oh, by the way, you have a little bill against us, I believe. Send it in and wa'll fix it no." in an hour from that time Smith's account was sent in, amounting to $50. 'Buff," called out the merchant, "how much is our bill aizainst Smith? ' "Just 40. sir." replied Buff. "Ah, I thoueht so. Make out a new bill, item ize and add ten par oent to the price of those coods, rising the wnole to $o5 oao. Then, seeing the look of astonishment expressed by the clerk, Mr. Blim resum ed: "Remember this, Mr, Buff always make your creditors send in their bills first i it pays." Card of Thanks.

There is some talk in Olympia of hold ing a mass meeting to request Delegate Brents to push that $10,000 appropria tion through for the improvement of Olympia harbor. At Walla Walla 105 men and 35- women are all that have so far registered in order to be enabled to vote at tho city election. The Statesman adds: "There must be some hurrying up done, as this number cannot possibly bo one-half the legal voters of the city. ' Several years since a lot in Alblna was bought at sheriffs" sale for delinquent taxes, for 5. The original owners imve commenced suit fur its recovery, as it is now worth about $15'Ji).

Captain Baker, who brought out the Henry Villard to Taoonia, has re signed his mastership and in a week or ten days will leave for his home in Bath, Maine. Captain Perkins, master of the ship Mount Washington, now lying at Portland, takes command of the Henry Villard, while II. rL Baker, Bon of Cap tain Baker, and now mate of the Henry Villard, takes command of the Mount Washington. Friday afternoon the North Seattle school house building narrowly escaped destruction by fire, it appears that one of the workmen engaged in tinning the dome left his soldering fire where it reached in some way the wood work. Soon a flame several feet in height leaped up. The situation was most critical; the distance from the ground made it exceed ingly difficult to get water. But after a very little time a bucket brigade was formed and soon tho flames were extin guished. The building was fully insured. William H. White has boen selected by the citizens of Seattle as a delegate to represent King county and western Wash ington territory at Washington in the matter touching the forfeiture of the land grant to the Northern Pa ific Rail road company in that territory. The sum of $750 has already been subscribed by the people of Seattle toward defraying the necessary expenses of the delegate. One thousand dollars it is estimated will bo sufficient and the remaining $250 will soon be raised. Mr. White will leave for Washington on Thursday. To reduce the grade to 100 fet-t to tho mile on the Natchez route for the Cas cade division of the Northern Pacific road, would require the building of 18 bridges over that stream. This route as surveyed gives the grade at 11G feet to the mile. The Stamped 6 grade is only 60 feet to the mile. The estimated cost of the Cascade division has been placed by Villard at $9.0JO,000 or $10,000,t0 ', and $8,000,000 is his lowest estimate. Surveys have been in progress for tLe last twelve years, and thero may be some doubt if at this time they are sattSfaw tory. One or two surveys over the Blue mountains sufficed to establish the route to Baker City, and the eug.ueenug dafi culties were fully as great as thosa to be encountered on tho Cascade line. Tke tack of Ifonland & Asplnwall. It is curious and a study for us who keep going forward while occasionally we glance baokwurd, to recall the travel hith er in the early days and to contrast it with that of to-day. Howland & Aspin wall, the most noted and most enterpris ing and Hagacious of New York shipping merchants, foresaw tho value of the traf fic upon this coast upon the acquisition of California by tho United States and the definite settlement of the Oregon question, and were quick to engag6 with the government for the building and run ning of four large ocean steamships, to voyago between Panama and Astoria, Oregon, and make stoppages at the inter mediate ports of Mexico and California Vcapuloo, Mazatlan, Guaymas, San Die go, Monterey, and San Francisco. There was no idea of gold deposits or gold dis covery in California at that time. The enterprise was purely and simply based upon the conviction on tho part of the great merchants that this coast was des tined to become ono of the richest and most important in commercial rank, and. sooner or later, to command a great share in the trade of China, and measur ably, of the Indies. Three of their steam ships, the Panama, the California, and the Oregon, were launched before the discovery of gold, 'and not until these had sailed from New York to take their places in the line was the news of the discovery announced in the east. Then, as though copper was instantly made gild, the en terprise of Howland & Aspinwill or ganized into the original Pacific Mail Steamship company suddenly sprang into a condition of enormous riches and surpassing importance, greater than it bad expected to attain through years of venture and toil, of careful management and masterly ability. It was the most profitable steamship line in tho world. The steamships had been built in the best manner, so equipped as to serve na was vessels in the event of their need as such by the government, and their cost war in excea?, therefore, of the ordinarv steamships of the merchant marine of that period. But great was the cost, the net earnings of eaoh of the three more than paid it all during the first nine months of 1849. And this rich traffic continued through the sucseedincr four or five years.

The following from the San Francisco News Letter of the 22d nit., is the latest concerning the subject of the flattering sketch who bilked so many Astorians while here: Charles A. Bayley, Jr., is rapidly work ing himself into an unenviable notori ety. This wolf in sheep's clothing lately attended a man in his dying hours. Turn about during tho short intervals of re cuperation from a state of maudlin drunkenness, this ghoul and one or two others of tho same stamp, attended, or rather presumed to attend, on the last wants of this unfortunate. The last thoughts of this man of letters and re finement, as he opened his eyes and gazed on his surroundings ere he closed them, disgusted, in his nnal sleep, may be more easily imagined than expressed. Hardly bad tne curtain rung down on the closing scene before a wordy dispute arose in regard to the whereabouts of a fow bits which had been previw.a-.ly lo cated in the dying man's pocket. The ghouls wrangled and fought in jealous rage, and finally the trifle was fouud.and, of' course, lost to either or any of them, as they eich took especial care it was de posited in safe keeping out of the others' reach. No other funds remiaed, aid the dead must be iuUr.-ed. Bayley im mediately constitutes liuusejf a commit tee of reliof and visits the numerous friends of tho deceased, who respond with'alacnty in the sweet name of char ity. With bleary eyes, from which the crocodile tears streamed, this fraud pro ceeded from office to countiug-rooni.f rom counting-room to store, and m nut a sin gle instance did he meet refusal. The obsequies proceeded in due form, 'and the remains wero followed even to the grave by this individual, who con trived to make himself conspicuous by his eager haste to plaoe on the grave flowers purchased end brought by others. After the funeral naturally came the bills for expense incu red, but the money, where was it? Demand after demand has been mode on Bayley for the bal ance of the moneys collected, but so far it is not forthcoming, and the rumor is that on the night after collecting the funds the fellow was so overpowered with his feelings that a stimulant in the form of a poker game was the dernier resort. Rumor also brs it that us the spirits rose the funds fell, and when B.tyley arose lie was poorer, if not wiser, to the extent of the balance which remained unpaid ut his collections. That this individual should have used tho guiso of charity in the attempt to feather his own vile nest is not surprising when we take into con sideration the fact that the hand of just ice is already on nis shoulder for stealing, and that before long he will bo taken hence to Portland to answer to the charge. This should be a warning to the frequenters of his den on Clay street. The fate of their old comrade stares them in the face. Many respect jble men no doubt unwittingly patronize his resort in ignorance of its inner workings, its unsavory reputation for gambling, and in other ways. A man who adopts the foregoing method of making money is not to be trusted, and should bo ostra cised. A highway robber i'b a gentleman in comparison with such a sneak-thief. Of him indeed may be truthfully said in the language of the peet: "With one hand he put A penny in tho urn of poverty, And with the other took a shilling out." We will mention the following parties from whom money was collected and not returned: M. H. DeYoune, F. Pixley, H. Hamble and M. Dall. We cannot at present recall the other names. Fun With tbe Telephone. At the Little Rock, Ark., Telephone Exchange lately, a call came in from a residence for a "feed store. "Hello!" "Hello! wh'atlS it?" 'llainniii sajs sond up a sack of oats and a balp of liHy," in a child's voice. "Who is it for?" iuquired the feed man. "Why for the ccow," drawled the young ster, and closed up, leaving tho man to cuss tho telephone , Bonis fbrSulc.
