Work in upper-town was almost en tirely suspended yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the celebration of the seventieth, aniversary of the adoption of the Norwegian Constitution. The Paciflo Onion Packing company's promises was headquarters for the celebration and was tastefully decorated. At one o'clock a processI6n formed at Astoria, No. One's engine house, and preceeded by the Ah t$m. brdsa band and tho American, Swed ish -and Norwegian flags, marched through the city. The day was all that could be wished, the city council with . 4ue .regard for the requirements of the occasion had had the streets swept and garnished, the aun Phone bright and warm and everyone was feeling good. Atrived at the place of celebration, A. T. Bfakkej president of tho day, introduced ST. Hon" who addressed the audience in e Norwegian tongue. Judging by the applause and evident appreciation of his jfpeech, Mr. HofPa remarks wero to the point. Mr. Brakke then mado a brief addres3in English. -Some of tho candidates who had dropped casually in, were then gheuop .jJortunlty to make a few remark appro priate to the occasion, an opportunity which was gently embraced, after which tthere was more impromptu speaking which closed the literary part of the en .tartainmeut. In the evening there was a large gathering and a grand ball, which is in full progress as we go to press. lilt ASTOBU BBASS BiSD. fwryone was' complimenting the As toria brass band yesterday, on their fine Ejuaio and the handsome appearance they made. The remainder of their uniforms Stex ordered, and they propose, before Iqction, to make as handsome a turnout a any band in the state. The band is composed of 6. C. Richardson, cornet; F. E.

Another unhappy fatal casualty to one of our best fishermen occured a day or two since on the bar. Peter Peterson, B6hing one' of John W. Hume's boat3 was taking up his net as fast as he could ek "c increasing ebb tide. He had . hauled fill In but about thirty fathom when he-1 discovered his boat would in variably" beTirawn into the breakers if he did not cut loose. Pulling out his knife for tnaVpurpose, he told his boat puller to throw 'out the anchor. He then stooped to grab the net, and as he rachedbvef, the boat suddenly stepped yielding- to" tne strain on the anohor. "When -the; boat puller looked around Peterson was in the -water apparently entangled in the net. He cried out to hii mate "save yourself," and these were his last words. Peterson was of moat excellent character and leaves many Christian friends benind. Go to Boscoe's for dinner and get a dish of bis6xcellent ice cream. t Meetiasr Notice.

Tho lenduluni is swinging back this season. i Last year was ouo of buoyancy, expsn j sion, expectation, profitjand investment. This year brings retrenchment, hedging, qniet cud conservatism. It is tho ptreak ! ul lean alternating with the streak of I JLn and I just a natural as anything that wo &eo around us in tho ordinary conrf e of nature. Yillard failed too soon or not soon enough, just as ono looks at it. Had he never got control of Oregon railways and steamboats, the impulse of '62 and S3 would have been delayed. Had he been able to swing his system of improvements through '8i, the northwest coast would have been "booming this year as it was last. Perhaps it is just as well. People lose their heads quickly enough an how, and the longer an era of speculation and suppositious prosperity is kept up the greater the reaction. For the same reason it was a thinly dis guised blessing to have the crash in Wall street this month. "When the dust clears away it will bo seen how flirnsily con structed were the structures that fell. Astoria is comparatively well off. We have.a surety of plenty ready coin being put into circulation, we have a large and steadily growing trade with outlying com munities, our merchants as a rule have good credit and are careful not to push it too far, aud as we did not become in-flated-fis some of our sister communities, our prosperous little city will receive no set back or serious check by the present enforced dnllness. In looking over the causes of the busit ness failures throughout the northwese this season, it appears to us that tber. exist other reasons than the inevitable reaction consequent upon the collapse of Villard'a bubble. The great cause is 8n individual one. It is lack of business prudence. Time was on this coast when a man "could make money at anything." If orife was "broke," he needn't stay broke-twenty-fonr hours. He could go at something else. It didn't take any particular knowledge or training, or cap ital; it was more a matter of enterprise, of go-aheadativeness, than anything else. We hove seen in Nevada, California, Ore gon and Washington territory men that "went through" selling drugs or keeping a saloon, start in the next week running a livery stable or a book store, and mak ing money. Three months after they would be keeping a restaurant or run ning a drv goods store, or something else, living well, making expenses and a good deal more, but ready to drop what they were at and grab at something that promised better the minute it hove in sight. Few expected to be in the same business that then engaged their atten tion one year from date. All things paid well; some better than others; and what paid the most, and the best, and the fast est, was whpt the most of them was after. There was a good deal of a gam ble about the whole thing, and it had the fascination of each one knowing that he could get up winner from the game when over he felt like it. A man dropped into a half a dozen different kinds of busi nesses" in as many years, and only stayed in any one of them long enough to think that he could make a stake quicker in some other branch of trade. Of course all this developed consider able aptitude for business, and a man soon found out what he could do, but very few profited by the knowledge. The lesson is not yet thoroughly learned. Tho time has gone by on this coast that a man can mako money otherwise than in accordance with the established rules of trade, have a regular, legitimate business; understand it and attend to it; take no flyers and concentrate faculty and energy on ono thing and make a success of it, whatever it is. To many the drop from boned turkey and cham pagne to corn beef and Weiss beor is un palatable, but that is only a change of scenery, the playing of a different part in tho great drama of life. After all what is lifo but h comedy? Some of us make a tragedy out of it, othorn degenerate it into a farce, but it is beit played as a comedy. "Is lifo worth living," is a question often asked. Of course it i?. What is tho use of going out till tho performance is over. You have no sure thing of seeing anything better elsewhere. You've got your ticket ; it entitl&s von to n. snat somntsliM-n in tho great thenter of ''human existence, and if you try and keep on trying and be per sistent ana umiy the ushers ana concili ate tbe audience and persuade those in the front row, you can get a seat away up near the orchestra. No ono is satisfied with the seat he has, but the degree of interest we taxe in tno pertormancs ami the amount of pleasure that wo derivo from looking at the big blaze of gas, glass, glare, and dazzle, that we call "life," depends in a great measure upon oursehes. It depends on how we look at it. .The show takes tho color of the glasses through which we view it. A pair of rose pink, warranted to fit, are about as good as any. Ot Interest To The Ladies.

For some timo our people have been ex- pecting to be put in connection with ; Portland, and Columbia river points, through the agency of n new steamr now being built by the Coast Transporta tion Co., of Astoria. We wero recently in Astoria and saw the proposed vessel in process of construction, and thero is not the slightest ground for doubting tho fact that this company is, and has been, making every effort to keep faith with tho people of this valley, in accordance with tho arrangements mado by Mr. Hume when ho was hero some time eince. A feature has recently arisen in the case, however, nanicly, competition on the part of Goodall & Perkins, which, while it may affect the operations of the As toria company somewhat, cannot materi ally injure it, and should not affect its plans. Our people fully appreciate the efforts of the Astoria people who pro posed to come to their aid, in' the matter of transportation, .when the prospect was very gloomy, bat they cannot be blamed for securing the transfer of much-needed freights. The company have only itself to blame for, tbe compe tition which has so suddenly pat in an appearance. ,Had it'ehartered and put upon the route, nny sort of craft that would have carried freight pending tbe construction of the new boat, our people would have had no occasion &to become so clamorous for transportation facilities as to attract and command the attention of outside parties prepared to carry freights. This it neglected to do, and it may be that so to do was a matter im possible. Be that as it may the results have been competition, but this should not be a source of discouragement. All that this valley has ever needed for de velopment into an active and important business center has been adequate ship ping facilities, and the fact that these are now fully supplied will without doubt generally increase the volume of business, a faot which must naturally inure greatly to the benefit of common carriers. Tho Astoria steamor will be a very handsome and capable craft. She will be fast and a good bar boat, capable of run ning to points south as well as north of the Columbia river, so that there can be no doubt but that she will get all the business she can do. From Mr. Hume we learned n fact which, taken in con nection with tho Astoria steamer enter prise, can hardly fail to contribute large ly to the success of the latter. It is a pro position, in regard to which Mr. Hume is very earnest and proposes to Bee carried to a successful issue, to build a small steamer to run on the upper Chehalis, connecting with tbe new steamer at some point on the harbor. A competent ex pert in the matter of river navigation will be sent here in August who will thoroughly examine tho Chehalis to the mouth of the Black river, and upon his report a boat will be built which can suc cessfully navigate both these streams. With this boat plying on the upper river and connecting with the new steamer be low, a large and lucrative trade in pro duce must be developed and also a good business in the transportation of mer chandise built up. "We therefore think that the Astoria psople have -nothing to fear from tho competition which has ap peared, for it will only result in the more rapid development of the vast resources of this region, and consequently more business for those interested in it.

Believing that it is important that tho position of circuit judge should be filled by a man of unexceptional oharacter, it has been with real gratification that we hove been assured by men of high stand ing of both political parties, that no more acceptable selection could be made for that important, position than that of Hon. Frank J. Taylor, tho nominee of tho republican party for circuit judge. Mr. Taylor was born in Clatsop county, Oregon, graduated at the law school at Albany. N. Y., was a member of the leg islature, session of 18S0, by joint repre sentation for Clatsop and Tillamook. Mr. Taylor is 32 yoars of age, a man of great natural and acquired ability, pro verbially conscientious, honest and lib eral iu dealing with his fellow-men. A man of genuine thrift, an excellent law yer, who, by his honurable ooune in busi ness and social life, has won the hearty good feeling of men of all parties, who are his neighbors and associates; as such wo feel justified to recommend him to our republican friends, ind hope to see him pieced on the bench.

Dick Rogers was beforo a commission in insanity yesterday on examination as to hisinental condition. Drs. Baker and Fulton were thero in the interest of science, C. F McCormao prgued the caso for tho state, and his honor, Judge Mc Guire, presided. It has been said that all mankind is raoro or less insane; that everyone is "a little off" on Home point, and that no matter wbo it is, from royal ty down to members of the legislature, all tho hapless sons of clay have a soft spot Bomowhero in their respective om niums. Some have loved "not wisely but too well;" others are &o unfortunate an to have the being on whom the wealth of their heart's affection is poured,coldly un mindful of the ardent admirer; still others are off on a wild goose chase 3f ter wealth; others pursue the fleeting phan tom of fame, others peek to win renown by extravagance; more are "fiot" on run ning for ouioe; some are confirmed cranks and keep up a perpetual quarrel with the Almighty because things are not different, and tbese facts are advanced as evidence that out of tho 1,492,000,000 that Bohm says inhabit tho earth, 1,491,999,999 are more or less affected that way. This is not very flattering, but when you get thinking of the folks next door, and across the street, and around the corner, and in tbe adjoining block, you'll allow that there maybe thoso who are a little queer sometimes. Of course the reader is exempt. Dick Roger's peculiar form of insanity seems to be giving Chinamen what is usually known as "tho grand bounce." It was clearly established in court yesterday that ho would sit in sunny ease and caroless freedom at tho door of his f avorito boozing place and appear en tirely ignorant of what was going on. All tho races of tbe earth might parade be fore him from Greenland's icy mountains or India's coral atrand, or East Portland, or the conntry round about the Wil lamette, but let a Chinaman pass by and Richard rose in wrath and smote the bap less heathen, hip and thigh. "Ho is a holy terror," spake one witness, and if anything can bo n terror and at tho same time possess any of tho attributes of hol liuess, Dick would seem to fill tho bill. In his careless way and with an easy grace born of practice, Dick would jump a passing Chinaman and knock him flat, caress him with his boot, terrify him with United States language and breathe upon him, greatly to the horror of tho meek Mongob'an, who would ono and all go sixteen blocks out of their wpy rather than meet that blood-thirsty man. ' Some there are who think it unwise to send Dick to seek the seclusion that tho asylum grants, aud argue that he is needed here to complete the work of Chi nese subjugation; but the brethren thought differently: Dick goes to Salem to-morrow and Chinatown turns loose to night for a season of rejoicing.

'Twos on tho shores that round our cout From Deal to Ramsgato span, That I found alone on a piece of -stone An elderly naval man. His hair was weedy, his board was long, And weedy and long was ho, And I heard this wight on the shore recito In a singular minor key: ,Oh, I am a cook, and a captain bold, An4 rA min rf 415 Votiaw rTrr And a bo'sun tight, and a midshipmite, ?uu buu liiovi vi uio vuaju a K. Aud ho shook his fists and ho tors his hair, Till I really felt afraid, Fori couldn't help thinking, the man had been drinking, And so I simply said: "Oh, elderly man, it's little I know Of thejduties of men of the sea, And I'll eat my hand if I understand How yon can possibly bo "At once a cook, and a captain bold, And tho mate of tho Nancv brig, And a bo'sun tight, and a midshipmite, And the crew of the captain's gig." Then ho gave a hitch to his trousera, which Is a trick all seamen learn, And having got rid of a thumpin1 quid, He spun this painful yarn: "'Twas in tho good ship Nanoy Bell That we aailed to tho Indian sea. And thero on a reef we come to'grief, Which has often occurred to me. "And pretty nigh all o' the crew wat drowned (Thero was seventy-seven o' soul), And only ten of tho Nancy's men Said 'Here! to the muster roll. ' There was me, and tbe cook, and the captain bold, And the mate of tho Nanoy brig, And tho bo'sun tight, and a midshipmite, And the crew of the captain's gig. "For a month we'd neither wittleanor dnnk, Till a-hungry we did feel, So we drawed a lot, and acoordin to, shot The captain for our meal. "The next lot fell to the Nancy's mate, And a delicate dish ho made; Then our appetite with the midshipmite Wo seven survivors stayed. "And then we murdered the bo'sun tight, And he much resembled me: Then we wittled free, did tho cook and me, On the crew of the captain's gig. "Then only tho cook and me was left, And the delicate question, 'Which Of us two goes to the kottlor arose, And we argued it out as sich. "For I loved that cook, as a brother, did, And the cook he worshiped me: But we'd both be blowedif we'd either be stowed In the other chap's hold, you see. "PU be eat if you dines of me,' says iom; 'Yes, that,' says I, 'you'll be.' 'I'm boiled if I die, my friend quoth I; And 'exactly so,' quoth he. "3avs he, "Dear James, to murder me Were a foolish thing to do, For don't you see you can't cook me Whilo I can and will cook you?' "So he boils the water, and takes the salt And the penner in nortions tru (WThich he never forgot), and some chop- pea suaiot And some sags and parsley too. " 'Come hare,' says he, with a proper pnue, Which bis smiling features tell, ' 'Twill soothing be if I let you see How extremely nice you'll smell.' "And ho stirred it round and round and round, And he miffed at the foaminc broth. Whenlj nps with his heels, and smothers nis squeais In tbe scum of the boiling frotb.
