No lack of amusements in Astoria this summer. Divine service on the CoatsivorUi at I o'clock, Rev. J. McCormac oiliciating. There will bo Scandinavian service in the Y. M. C. A. hall at the o'clock this afternoon. The infant son of John Peterson will be buried from the Swedish church at npper town at two o'clock this afternoon. A large party of frionds assembled at Will Sherman's last evening, the occa sion being the celebration of his twenty-first birthday. Rev. T. A. PerkinB, an eloquent divino and former pa9tor of Grace church, will officiate in thathurch at morning and evening servico to-day. Chaplain Scott will devote this morning service to the interests of the children. In the evening he will deliver his lecture and extends an invitation to all. The Kendalls played "My Awful Dad" to a full house last night, closing an at tractive week of comod3 and giving a rousing benefit to Rescue Jubilee Troupe. J. M. Baltimore, the Portland agent of the California associated press, and Jerry Coldwcll of the Oregonian, camo down on the Wide West last evening to imbibe the ozone, and listen to tho murmur of the tide. Tho Young Men' Blainn Club met at tho hall of llcscuo No. 2 last night and adjourned to meet at 5 o lock Lueeuay evoning to effect permanent organiza tion, at which time n full attendance is requested. The Wide Wel camo flying down from Portland yesterday afternoon with a crowd of excursionists to tho cool breezes of Astoria. Those who want to go to II waoo to-day can tako tho Gen. Miles at nino this morning. Attention is directed to tho adveitise taent of H. Da Luinson't? furniture es tablishment. Furniture and carpets of the finest quality are there to bf found and intending purchasers will consult their own interests by looking through the warerooms and factory. Mr. A. Yan Dasen, one of Astoria's oldest and most respected citizens, was stricken with paralysis yesterduy morn ing, and lay in a critical condition throughout tho day. It is feared the gravest consequent lxiaj' ensue, though Ea was slightly better last evening. Shortly after twelve o'clock last night a soldier from the fort, named John Mc Carty got into an altercation with some parties near Alex. Gilbeit's saloon, which ended in one of them sticking a knife in to John's umbilicus. The wounded man was taken to Conn's drug store, where he received surgical treatment, and about one o'clock this morning the man who did the slashing was caught and jailed. ELECTIOX ECHOES. Thayer is elected supremo judge. Multnomah county cast 9,000 votes. Tillamook county gavo Hermann 75 majority. No returns bavoyefc been received from Crook county. There will be a Republican majority of ten on joint ballot in the legislature. Yesterday's Orcnonian says: The elec tion of Frank J. Taylor, Republican can didate for circuit judge in the fifth dis trict, is in doubt, on account of a hun dred ballots or more being cast in "Wash ington county, through an error in tho tickets, for E. J. Taylor. It is under stood that these will not be counted for him. Still his friends think that Crook and "Wasco together will not give enough against him to overcome his majorities in Clatsop, Columbia and Clackamas. A Valuable Keceipe for Bride. A young wife who thought she was losiQjg her husband's attentions went to a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter for a love powder. Tho mystery-woman told her: 'Got a raw pioce of beef, cut flat, about half an inch thick. Slice an onion in two and rub the meat on both sides with it. Put on pepper and salt, and toast it on each side over a rod coal fire. Drop on it throe lumps of butter and two sprigs of parsley, and get him to eat it." The young wifo did ho, and her husband loved her ever after. ODE TO TIIE SUOBTCAKE. Heap high the sugar and pour the cream, So rich and thick, with a lavish hand!

For a number one cigar, try Laigh-ton; TOPICS OF THE TIMES. JaniM C. Blaine of Halae-Loean, With Hit Slogan-Bonshl Tfltb Price-Etc 'What makes yon so enthusiastic over Rlainc'n nomination?" has boon asked. Our ro isdns aro feur: First, as an iudi idual; second, as a resident of the Pa cific coast; third, as a votir who hates tho crack of tho party whip; fourth, as an American citizen. And this is why a good many wcro overjoyed to know that a man of tho people was placed in nomi nation. You may yoto tho Republican tickot or the Democratic ticket because you think 'tis your duty, or because you have settled convictions that way, but w hen you feel that you have had some thing to say about vho shall be yourj candidate you are apt to put a good deal more viib into vour actions. Elaine was not nominated because he was the favorite of the machine, nor because he held the treasury, nor because ho dispensed the gifts of official patronage, nor because any "ring" deemed it necessary, but be cause the poopl6 demanded that ho be put forward. For this reason, and this alono, aro millions of Americans rejoicing that the convention which adjourned last Friday night had tho good sense to re- buto tho "machine' ana machine methods and put the name of Dlaine on its campaign banner. Four j ears ago, Conkling, caressing his curJ, strutted down the aisle with urant's J0u at his back. Ho waved his imperious hand and commanded silence. Ho placed the man who never knew defeat in bat tle in nomination for the third time, and staid In him to deserved defeat. This time Arthur, who was but a fortunate ac cident, had by a singular coincidence ex actly 30G at his beck and nod, but for the second time in four years tho voters of the Unite J Mates said: "uentlemen, nom inate your man if you will, but we will not endor.,o him by our votes." Eleven million men will h'avo each something to say next Xovember about who shall run thi government for four eara more, and the Republicans at Chicago, with a wis dom bom of experience, put forward tiioir bo'.t man. And fo"JiOgan has tho second placo on tho ticket. That was a fitting finalo to tho performance, for no better nomina tion could havo been mado. He had ougineored a littlo boom of his own, but his admiration for Bbino showed out so strongly that it was evident he would piefer him as a presidential caudidato to anyone else in tho nation, excepting him self. Logan is an intense, hearty, mascu lino man t hat makes lots of enemies by his disagrveablo habit of telling the truth, and some of the Illinois editors haie got down on him because ho was very slow about making promises and very strict about fulfilling those ho did mn'ko. Rut whero is there a man that is worth thiuking of twice, who hasn't mado enemies. A man may go through life with a bottlo of oil in ono hand and a feather in tho other and nod and look wise and agree with every ono and have no moro real genuine self assertion about him than tho little capsules you bay over at Dement's or Jo. Thomaa'sj nothing but littlo sacks of mucus that dissolve when the medicine insido begins getting in its work. Logan is a man who has been in pub lic life thirty years; he is more of a statesman than" a politician and is be loved by every one who wore the blue, and admired and respected by those who wore tho gray. And if now our Democratic brethren will but put up on July 8th another such man as Blaine! That is the benefit of having two great parties, equally divided; both sides nro put to their mettle, and made known that none but good men stand a show. This is a government of checks and balances, of great transac tions, of important interests, and we need ono party to watch the other. Tho American ieop!o whether in Maine or Oregon will svand a little foolishness, but not much, nor ery long. It is only a little while ago that the Republican can didate for governor of 2sew York in a Republican state was beaten by an un known man with a majority of 200,000, becauco ho had been forced on the party by the president of tho United States. That was their answer. So, we say, it is a grand thing that we have two parties to keep each other in condition and the nation in equilibrium. It shows conclu sively that tho croakers aro all wrong and tho country has not begun to go to tho dogs by a largo majority. And yet thcro are little things that crop out now and then that make ono think that if certain people had the lead, the coun try would go to Hades across lots. "We had our littlo county election last Mon day, and if all tales bo true, or half of them half true, there was some con temptible work done. Li more than one quarter tha writer has heard that parties claiming to be ablo to "swing" so many votes made plain demand for coin, at tho samo time intimating that if tho sugar was not lonncoming mo opposition camp was ready to put up. It said that a paper was exhibited bearing the names of C2 or 05 '"men" who agreed to vote whichever way their guardian angel and leading spirit told them, and that that genuiswasnot at all backward in making known tho financial bearings of tbe situ ation to those whom ho deemed most in terested. It is interesting likewise to know that the prico of "tho wholo lot" was 350: that is to s?y, that for tho sum of 3.'0 gold coin of the United States, and duly paid, tho receipt of which was thereby acknowledged, that number of men would barter away each man his vote that most precious privi lege of an American freeman, Vith that pleasant disregard of minor points, characteristic of that class of patriots, it made no difference from which side the coin came. "Republican," "Democrat," were idle words to them; all they saw was tho geld: all thoy knew was "this is our chance." "Make hay whilo tbe sun shines." If, as iho poet assures us: "Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell," she must have emitted a doleful squawk last Mon day when she heard the chink of gold that told tho sale of manhood and all that makes life moro than the existence To gild lofiued gold, to paint the lily, or to add additional flavor to the rose havo long been considered superfluous tasks. To toll why a man edits a news paper, writes for tho public and condnots a journal is probably as Bupoifluoas. Mr. Noltnor, of the Standard, in an editorial a few diivs ago, tells tho whole story in a very few" words. Ho says, "I am running my newspaper to support myself and my familv," and when that is said, all is said. A mah that catches salmon, or sells gro ceries, or saws lumber, or soils dry goods, or pushes a plane, or keeps a hotel, us ual I v does it to make bread and butter for himsolf and those depending on him, and it is just precisely tho samo way with tha men that m tho different newspaper offloes in this state aro working at the most wearing of all occupations. This littlo similarity is mentioned in connec tion with nn impression that prevails in the minds of many that a man who runs a newspaper is purely a missionary in the great oause of human advancement, and iB laying up his reward where thieves do not rust nor moths break in and steal; in tho meantime working seventeen hours a day for tho good of his health. Of course pots should boll and loaves should bako without any expenditure, but thov don't. It is not in tho ordinary course of nature, and sometimes a suit of clothes or tho butcher's bill is of far more importance to tho man who is writ ing an editorial on tho necessity of tho Monroe doctrine, than over Monroe or his doctrine could possibly be. More especial--ly is this the case where the rough black smithry has not given place to the finer working that imparts a smooth surface to tho metal. "I would giro fivo of tho bestyeare of my life," writes a friend with whom tho writer of these random thoughts exchanged good-natured thrusts years ago, "if I could have tho privilege of .saying just what I think about men and things for six months." Probably; and yet would ho be Rny tho better for Huch ability to free his mind? Perhaps, on tho whole, it is just as well that duo restraint is placed on theso paper bullets of the brain and their coiners. WEDDING CABDS,.Br JOTE! Mr. and Mrs. Percy Garcandy request tho honor of Mr. Blank Blank's company at tho wedding of their daughter, Miss Su. Garcandy and Mr. Kiasan H. Ugger, On evening, June residence. My friends, I cannot do it. at their I know Mr. Ugger of old. The fact is I can only see misery as the result of tho contem plated union. Mr. Ugger is a man of no particular weakness; but is addicted to all the tri fling habits, of which the sura is, unhap piness to any woman who may marry him. He is in the roceipt of an income which is ample for the wants which he has created for himself, but which would be totally inadequate to the support of a wife. Well, they might live comfortably upon his revenues, but to do that Ugger would be compelled to give up his cigars, drop his clab, reduce his expenses at his tailor's, pa33 by his jeweler's, and avoid the daily littlo extras which he now al lows himself. If I know Ugger, and I em sure I do, he would do none of these things. He has been indulged from childhood; his mother trained him into ways of selfish ness which have become a 6econd nature, and you may depend that if either ono had to be deprived of anv accustomed luxuries, it would not be Mr. Ugger. I have no doubt he would be very in dignant were I to tell him of these things (and, of qourso, I shall do nothing of the kind), but I know that "as tho twig is bent the tree is inclined," and "tho boy is father to the man." Don't I remomber, while at school, how ho never shared his gingerbread and taf fy with any of the boys, but went off by himself, and sitting apart (as Achill&3 did, by his tent), produced a dainty nap kin and devoured all, regardless of tho ploading oyes and watering months which gazed from afar upon his perform ances. Thou, too, he nlways had tho best pocket-knife, the largest alleys, tho finest top and don't I know how ho ob tained them! Lot any boy receive- some thing which filled his heart, and behold! in a short time tho treasure passed into tho possession of Ugger. And whon Johnnie Beli'rf mother died "and she had to leave school, to work for her littlo sister's sup port. Wo all clubbed our sixpences, which I aflirra were- not then plentiful, did not Hugger avoid the collector until ho could no longer keep out of his way, whon cornered said, "Poor little beggar, Fm sorry for him, but really I can't keep it," and refuse to give a penny. No, sir, I won't spo you married, thars flat. And then Miss Su. Garcandy! Well of all the unsuitable matches! Just think, a girl brought up by parents who were not rich and wanted to be thought so. By parents who varied genteel poverty by poor gentility and who, after giving a dinner party, at which all the plate to be hired in the town was on parade, sub sided into the back kitchen and there existed until "society demanded another tuck out." O, vanitv of vanities, did they not know that "Mrs. Grundy was ever sitting in judgment upon them? Did they not know how their friends pitied poor Miss Su, brought up in this atmosphere of pretence? Perhaps they only surmised it, fur Mrs. Grundv never permits her censure to prevent her ac cepting an invitation, and she gushes up on her host preparatory to feasting her self with his shortcomings. Just imagine, 1 say, just imagine for a moment, what ten years of married life would do for these people and then ask me, if you dare, to sanction so grim a sacrifice by niy presence? I see a broken down, faded woman, dowdy in appear ance, always in the doctors hands, -with a string of wretched children, the young est just cutting its first teeth. The houso is topsy turvy, the carpets faded and worn, the rooms cheerless, and turning from this picture T proceed homeward, when I meet Ugger. His coat is worn at tho elbows, his shirt front is frayed and he wears no jewelry now. He looks tw6nty years older, but ho says, 'Come, let us have somethinc' and I notice as he pays for the 'tipple that his hands are tremulous and his nose betrays bis habit of drowning care. I say nothing of his family affairs, thoy are beyond comment, but be knows I know that had not selfish indulgences intorf erred with his whole life, and had mutual concessions been made, his lot and that of his family might haTe been, ah, so different. No, I shall not attend that wedding. Cynic. A Permanent Fixture. Wo would inform tho readers of this paper and ladies of Astoria more par ticularly, that tho branch store of J.

"Yes, I know they do. There is no question ahout it. They do im mense damage. I notice that some of tho paper? say that tho seals should not bo protected by law, bnt it is a mistake to suppose that they ere protected. The law protecting them was repealed by the legislature sonio years ago. I have been trying to get some uf the Greek fisher men to fit out an expedition to the Seal rocks for tho purpose of killing off the seals. A fat ssnl will yield ten gallons of oil, it is said, and tho oil ft worth 'about 50 cents a gallqn, so thero ought -io-be money in suck an expedition.

I think that the state should offer a bounty for their destruction. : "The salmon -catch in the Sucramenfo this year," -Mr. Buckingham resumed1 "is likely to be very light. Tha soals ac count to a 'considerable' extent for the falling off in the sutrolv of fish, but there lis another reason. In 1881 a grea't many soimon got into mo mieu, ana xauea to spawn in tho headwaters of the. river, and we are now feeling the effect'of -that failure. This season, the .salmon are. also going into tho tules. There are .more salmon running up through, tho tules now than there are in the main river." "What makes thempo into tho tules?" ltIt is the flow- of water through the tules from the break-up above. The fish in ascending tho river .meet the worm water coming out of tho tules from jthe sloughs near Rio Vista, and as they nat urallly seek tho warm water, they turn out of tho main stream and follow .up the current in the tule3. They will:gath er in tho pools and sloughs at the head of tho tnlo basin and never get up the river." "Can anything be done to keep tho fish from losing themselves in that way?" . "Yes. The mouth of tho Cacho creek, which empties at Knight's Landing, could bo cleared of obstructions so tho fish could ascend the htream and spawn. Tho mouth of tho stream is filled up with a growth of willows and other ob structions, and it-would cost a good deal to clear it out. But the result would jus tify the expenditure, and the commission in its coming report will recommend tho legislature to rnnko nn appropriation for tho purpose Tho Sacramonto salmon fishery is nothing compared to what it used to be. I mean to say, that is, if the same means and appliunces had boon in use ten years ago that we havo now, the catch would have been far greater." "Tho commission will put about 600,000 salmon fry in tho river this year," re marked Commissioner Dibble, who was present, "but a largo proportion of them willboio3t." "Gobbled?" queried the reporter. "Gobbled," the commissioner assented. "The trout and other fish eat myriads Of the small fry. Of tho thousands of the fry of eastern brook trout, white fish and land-locked salmon placed in California waters, scarcely a handful seem to have reached maturity. Tho little fish were doubtless devoured by the big ones, and the few tha't survived have probably crossed with tho native stock. What the commission needs is a" place where the young fish can bo kept until they get bis enough to take care of themselves. Theyl shoum bo protected until they nave at least attained tho sizo of fingerlings. Unless an enormous number of young fry be turned into a lake or stream ten anted by grown fish, tha attempt at stocking tho waters is generally a failure. The experiment with shad in our waters has been a success, but hundreds of thousands of young fry were put in.
