'-The KIer of the Ctnnlbtl IsUtdit' The following will be read with interest by a good many in Astoria. It ia from the Bath, Me., Times: Mrs. 3. B. Morriion has received a let ter from her husband, who commanded the ship Rainier, which was reported lost a short time ago in the Pacific ocean. The letter was dated January 9, six days after the vessel struck the reef. The fol lowing facts were related this morning by Mrs. Morrison. The Rainier sailed from Philadelphia with a cargo of oil for Japan. Everything went on smoothly until the 1st of January,when the weather became very calm. During the day of January 3 a wind sprang up. The out look on the forecastle deck at half-past nine o'olock sung out, "breakers ahead!" and before anything could be done the ship was surrounded by breakers and had struck. The next morning preparations were made to leave the ship, but the surf was bo high and dangerous it was impos-sible-to break through in the ship's boats. During the morning a boat was soen com ing towards the ship with a orew of men. At 'first sight it waB feared they might be oannibals, but when they came within hailing distanoo it was discovered that thoy could spoak English. They came on board and informed Cuptain Morrison that there was an island which was in habited within fifteen miles of the Bhip, and offered to take them to the island in their bosta. Their offer was accepted. On arriving at tho island it was found to be Djaal island, ono of tho Marshal group. There aro fifty inhabitants on the island, governed by a king. The island ia near the equator, and tho climate is ono of perpetual summer. The island is three miles long nnd is 2500 miles from the nearest mainland; the nearest land is tho Philippine islands. Captain Morrison is buBywrecking the ship. The sails have been taken from the ship and formedinto tents, in which the parties live. Captain Morrison ia being royally entertained by the king of the island. Site Fljing. In almost any direction of that partic ular bit of sky that is over Astoria, one looked this week, he would see a kite, usually attached to mother earth and a small boy by means of a string, though in one or two instances the kite had freed itself from all embarrassments and oome to grief thereby. The latest sensation in China town is a monster kite. Its owners are among the more subtantial and scientific resi dents of that vicinity. They call them selves the Wang Toon Ki association. Their kite is a monster, twelve feet wide and fifteen feet high. It is made of red cambric, twenty-seven yards of the stuff being required to cover its immense ribs. The 1,200 feet of manila cord which will be used to connect this flyer with the earth is run from a great reel about the size of the steering wheel of a steamer. It requires two men to turn the cranks of this reel. The reel will bear two tons' pressure. An attempt was made to fly tho kite last week, but the wind was so light that only 2C0 feet of the rope could bo let out. As soon as n fairly strong wind springs up, the association will send its flaming messenger to the cloud-?. The unuuul session of the Grand Lodge of Oregon, I. O. O. F., meets in this city next Tuesday. Since the last session of the Grand Lodge, five Idaho lodges have severed their connection from that body and formed a Grand Lodge in Idaho; but four new Oregon lodges havo been formed and tke membership in that jurisdiction is nearly as great as it was before the ter ritorial lodges withdrew. The Oregon Odd Fellows' home will soon be com pleted. There are now seventy-three lodges in the jurisdiction, with 3,377 members. The amount paid for relief of members in the state for the past year waB $U,8G8 20. The assets of the lodges arc $116,771 and $18,142 8G has been paid out during the year. Ol Interest To The "Ladies.

Hodees and Curtis of Columbia City are building a large scow for the purpose The Pb!c la Wall Street. The great firm of Fisk & Hatch, con sidered the strongest financial house in the United States, closed their doors last Thursday. Their fall involved the clos ing of several lesser firms, but the im pression in financial circles seems to be that the worst is over. A New York dis patch says the result seems to be that the speculators have oome to grief, and the financial atmosphere is much cleared. The excitement caused much of the trouble; hence the burden of advice given by the press and good authority is to keep cooL In response to dispatches sent to nearly every city of the country and Canada there comes a uniform reply, both from the people and the newspapers, that the New York excitement is not shared in at all, but tho feeling at other points is simply one of interest or curi osity or close watchf ulnoss. " The best authority here now is, in view of last night's financiers' conference, that the bottom has been touched, and the panic, such as it was, has abated, and that good aecurities will immediately rebound to where they belong. The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "There has been an unhealthy state of the stock market for two years, and it waB about time for the clearing up storm. The great grain producing and cattle growing west iB prosperous. Farmers are having a good seeding time, and everything in the agricultural line looks better now than it did twolve months ago. The east must get down out of tho clouds and bo content to tread on solid ground. Eito flying is dangerous business, and above all bankers, whether it bo Ward, Fisk, Eno, Seney, or any other man, should steer clear of speculations, all of which is outbldo of legitimate bonking opera tions." The Times thinks there "ia nothing in the business and industrial situation of the country to justify serious apprehen sion. The failure of a dozen, more or less, disguised gambling shops and then backers, in New York, is not in itself a circumstance that should or can mate rially effect any legitimate interest. The country possesses to-day all the elements of wealth and prosperity it had a month or a year ago. The farms and factories, their products and the strong and cun ning hands that produced them cannot be destroyed or removed hence by any psrturbation in New York." The suspension of Fisk & Hatch created more surprise in San Francisco than any yet announced. This is chiefly due to the fact that the suspended firm were such heavy dealers in government bonds, largely held on this coast. Secondly, they were fiscal agents of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad system, controlled by Hunt ington, first vice president of tho Central Pacific. The announcement was soon fol lowed by rumors to the effect that the suspension might have on the railroad in terests on this coast. Charles Crocker, president of the Central Pacific, stated emphatically to a representative of the associated press, that it would have none; that neither the Central nor the Southern Pacifio was or could be involved with the suspended firm. Bank managers were interviewed, and all said: "We are inter ested but nninvolved spectators of the Wall street troubles."

One paper at least has reached the public without bearing that legendary inscription, "entered at the postofneo as second-class matter." Its title is Ocean Chronicle, and it was printed at sea on board the Frank Pendleton, now dis charging cargo at Victoria. During the long voyage from Yokohama, Captain Nichols, the master, who is a practical printer, issued a number of copies from the press and types ho had on board. The paper contains the log, incidents of the voyage, and miscellaneous matter of interest. Captain Nichols opens a bril liant field to enterprising publishers.

Short Long Hand. Prof. H. Gamble suggests a form of abbreviated long hand, and does so in these werds: By the application of soven simplo rules a large part of the labor, time, and vexation of tho pen-user is saved, also tho reader's time, for when words r (aro) abbreviated the eye can taken in moro at a glance. Letters stand ing alone, as u for you, r more legible than words. We easily read tho a & I of the worst scribe, because the form of the letter is not changed by joining with others. This is why ordinary print is so much plainer than oven engraved script. The average penman writing seven hours a d. y writes "tl e" 700 times, & sev eral other words nearly as frequently. Some of these words occur 1,000 times as often as words to which abbreviations have long been given. Tho frequent re currence of 20 words makes upj of Eng lish. These words, represented by single letters, would b (be) as plain as a & I, & would effect enormous economy of time & save millions of dollars annually in printing. They occur so frequently that in reading a few pages of a book thus Frinted fixe3 them in memory. Wo write instead of ei or eye; why not u, you; r are; &, and: b, be, etc? Script circulates most among the intelligent classes, yet 99 persons write "you" 99,000 times a year for fear 1 dull person will not understand u.
