A pleasant reunion of the Dorcas society of the Baptist church and many attendant friends was held last evening at the residence of Mr. J. P. Dickinson. The best thing the Sunset Telephono company can do is to either put some one in the central office that can tell a 3 from a 5 or else go out of business; at least that is our experience.

In the police court yesterday Dennis Creed forfeited $2; Win. Enrichs and Jas. Eogera forfeited $10 each on a charge of vagrancy, and Ed. Peak was assessed $4 for drunkenness. The Portland board of trade has asked the Northern Pacific Kailroad company to open the Kalama and Seattle branch es, as at present the merchants of that city are unable to compete with Sau Francisco f er the Sound trade. Capt. Lunt, who is on a general tour of inspection of the O. K. & N. Co.'s prop erty, expresses himself as highly pleased with the appearance of things in Astoria, and thinks that all we need is a railroad to make ours the liveliest city in the northwest. No part of the surroundings shows more improvement than Upper Astoria. The roadway is receiving some much needed repairs, new buildings are going up, shops and manufactures of various kinds pro being introduced; a dancing school and Good Templar lodge have lately been started. The usual activity is manifest in the matter of building. The eott of con struction in Astoria is less this year than it was last, and there exists no lvason why those who intend building should not save money and at the same time ac complish their intent by putting money into circulation for labor and material this summer. Hear Admiral Upshur is reported a suggesting that if the Astoria chamber of commerce and the Portland board of trade make representation to the proper authorities, he might be induced to bring his historio flagship, ihe Hartford, m this port for a brief season. She is a gallant old ship and hath on board four hundred gallant old men and juung. Beeves, who, since the shooting of Frazier, has been confined in the county jail, was yesterday taken to the hospital where th wounded man lies, to hear the latter's deposition. Before the testimony was concluded Frazier grew so weak that it was continued until this morning. Frazier is completely paralyzed from his hips down, and it is the opinion of attendant physicians that it is but a question of time when the unfortunate man shall breathe his last. Literature Newspaper. It has often been asserted that the finest and most beautiful sentence in the English language is the opening sentence in Dr. Johnson's "Basselas." "Ye who listen with crednlity to the whispers of fancy, and pursue with eagerness tho phantoms of hope; who expect that age will perform the promises of youth, and that the deficiencies of the present day will be supplied by the morrow, attend to the history of Basselas, Prince of Abys wnia." This is indeed a beautiful sentence; but to the mind of the average newspaper publisher there is a far more beautiful one, which should read: "Enclosed please find $2 in payment for one year's subscription to The Webklt Astobian." The "phantoms of hope' and "deficien cies of the present day" more often assert themselves in the mind of the publisher than do the beauties of a well rounded Literature and the struggle for the neoessaries of life go constantly hand in hand. Thera are comparatively few of the standard works in literature which have made their authors immortal but that were written under the most adverse circumstances or in fighting againt bitter poverty. Dr. Johnson is said to have written his "Basselas" during the nights of one west and in order to defray the expenses of his mother's funeral. "While under the attending circumstances and the beauty of the work this might be called a wonderful achievement, yet there are numerous cases where the work performed by many an editor on the dailies of the country far surpasses it. But the times have changed, and the newspaper writer of to-day is expected to co through work and to produce articles Bt short notice whioh a century ago would have made his name immortal.

Howell & Co.'s "American Newspaper Directory,' now in press, it appears that the newspapers and periodicals of all kinds at present issued in the United States and Canada reach a grand total of 13,402. This is a net gain of precisely 1,003 during the last twelvo months and exhibits an increase of 5,G18 over the total number published just ten years since. The increase in 1874 oyer the total num ber of 1873 was 493. During the past year the dailies have increased from 1,133 to l,Zt; the weeklies from 9,052 to 10,028; and the monthlies from 1,091 to 1,499. The greatest increase is in the western states. Illinois, for instance, now shows 1,003 papers in place of last year's total of 901, while MissDuri issues C01 instead of tho 523 reported in 1833. Other lead ing western states also exhibit a great percentage of increase. The total number of papers in New York State is 1,523, against 1,399 in 1833. Canada has shared in tho general increase.

Three candidates out in tho wiiJ, wide West, Met on the street as the sun went down; And each of them said, as he pulled down his vest, 'Twould be a good thing to wort'the town. For candidates always, when thing are dull, Must exert themselves to dispel the lull, To keep their booms a booming. Three editors followed the candidates, And saw them treating the cheering crowd; While barkeepers busied themselves with slates, And the jingie of glasses was long and loud. Fur men must diink when they keep an eye On an orator's mouth, for it makes them dry; And the booms must be kept booming. The candidates saw the eusjer-eyc-d smbes, And beckoned them on with a welcome hnnd; Each knew that the editors never took bribes. But would willingly drink, if h treat they'd stand. When they read tho papers the following dav They found that philanthropy mirelv does paj, When booms need "spirited"' booming. Something JVcw.

The vessel was rolling slightly, and as it rolled it caused a brass screw n!out half an inch in lengtu to travel down the aecK. some cuicsens were loitering) about, and tho flash of the screw cauht I the sight of an old hen. blse dashed at the bit of brass and in a moment it was ! "Sdle saw the transaction and fa.: wardly chuckled, as he lni6w there would soon be Davy Joue3 to pay about that screw. "When the steward had polished up the lamp and was putting it together again he missed a particular and import ant screw. After searching for the screw for some time in vain the steward spoke of his loss to some of the sailors. They joined in the search, but no screw could be found. Soon the attention of the captain was attracted to the group of searchers, and the steward was obliged to tell him of the loss. The skipper flew into a rago at once, and used much profane language in con nection with the frequent refcreuco he felt called upon to niako to tho steward's , oyo3. The poor steward was on the point oi laiting a riae on me loe oi tne cnp tain's boot, when the judge thought it time to appear upon the scene. He told the captain that if he wanted the screw it could be found with but little trouble. He had only to order one of the men to catch an old black hen that he pointed out, cut off her head, open her crop, and the screw would b found. At this tho sailors gazed upon tho judge as though they thought him somu practitioner of the black art, and tho steward gave him an appealing look, as much as to beg him not to join sido with his persecutor. Ihe captain had the fowl caught ct i once. Its head was cut on, its cron was opened, and out rolled tho lost screw. ' bailors and all on board were astounded, and even the captain changed color. The face of tho steward showed a queer mixt ure of delight and awe. Af tor that bit of legerdemain tho stew ard could find nothing good enough for the judge, and when the wind failed he heard hints among the sailors that they might have a ten-knot breeze any timo they wanted it provided a certain person aboard should see fit to give it them. wnAT! do you think that JEFF OF THE CHOP cJOUSE gives you a meal for nothiiigand a glass of something to drink? uXot much!' but he gires a better meal and more of it than any place in town for -Jo cent.
