Whan ae salmon first appear they are
eagerly sought after in Astoria, but
though -it is the headquarters of the

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

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.

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

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. Jew. CMeara in April

A DEED WITHOUT XAJIK.
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.
