To-morrow tho Do Vi o Italian opera troupe will appear at Occidental hall. This talented company has won the plaudits of press and public where er it has appeared. Following are extracts : Mme. Godini, tho new American prima donna, made her debut last night at the Grand Opera house, as Norina, in "Don Pasquale." The sang and acted the part charmingly. She possesses a fine appear ance is a natural actress, and dresses -with good taste. She ranks among the best American prima donnas, xne unal duo of Mme. Godini and Sig. Brignoli require special attention for their refined rendering, as was the londo finale of Mme. Godini. N. O. Picayune. The tenor, Sig. Baldanza, carried off the honors of the evening. Each number from the opening romanzn to tho "Si la Stancheza," with Mme. Zeppili in the prison scene, was rapturously applauded, and in the grand aria, "the Quella Pira," in which he takes the "high C," was re demanded. Mme.Zeppilh, the contralto, has a oice of fine quality, while her act ing in the arduous part of Azucena is full of color and great force. Sig.Villaui distinguished himself as Count di Luna in the aria "II Balen," and received a well-deserved round of applause. S. F. Call - Foreign Salmon Shipments for 34.

I'lHuteil Knights" Sowspnper rolley Bmlnwa Ocean Trrcl. lii Chicago and othor cities, Blaine clubs, composed chiefly of young men, anil known as "plumed knights," aro al ready being formed. The distinguishing feature toemb to bo tho head covering, """ " " """ ' """ " -s - whito plumo. A column of pinnies would mano an imposing sight, provided tho respective plumo-bearers kept step. Tho organizations aro about the same in char acter as the "Wide-Awakes M of 18C0, who, with glazed cap and coat and torch light, hurrahed for Lincoln end Hamlin all over the Union. Tho plumo part of the programme will hardly bo a special feature of tho campaign in Astoria, the most ardent admirer of the Prince Ru pert of debate probably confining his zeal to the purchase of a white "plug" hat, such as was worn by each member 1 of the conquering delegation at Chicago. Some of tho Republican papers, no tably Harper's Weelzly and the New York Times, havo bolted, and are doing all they can to injure Blaine. They aro itngry because the saintly Edmunds of Vermont wa3 not chosen. Had Edmunds been chosan, and the great newspapers that favored Blaine announced that be cause they couldn't have their own way they would do all they could to defeat Edmuuds, it would doubtless bo interest ing to notice how the present bolters would talk of '"traitors," and "rocreant Republicans," ate It makes consider able difference in politics, as in ether things, j3 to the consistency of words and nets. In tne absence of Mr. Scott, of the Oregonian, that paper is adopting a con servative tone as to the Republican pres idential nominee. Should Blaine be elected, it can come out the morning after and say, "We prophesied this, if you remombor,when he was nominated." In the ecnt of his defeat, that clever journal can also say, with great consist ency, "We regret 'this excHidingly, but call you all to witness that wo toldjou ho in tho early summer." In the name of the Prophet figs. Thcrtj is considerable talk about "hard times." It is not confined to any one community. From one end of the north west to the other exists an unusual period of dulnem. Coming as it does just after the boom of S2, makes it comparatively worse. And yet we don't know what "hard times" means. No new country does. It is impossible for us here in Ore gon or Washington Territory to realize to its fullest extent what it means to feel "hard time.' To havo no work,littlofood, poor prospects for things getting any bet ter, and with it all the fierce competition that makes life a straggle for existence, is to havo "hard times.'' Here it is but n temporary check, a brief cessation of ac tivity, at tho worst enforced economy for a season and in tho end a resulting bene fit. Astoria is in a better Ux than a good many of her sister communities. She has a sure crop, an assured return, and throughout the state comes from every part most favorablo prophecies concern ing tho j'ield for the year. Tho crash in Wall street the other day was no more than tho bursting of a bubblo on the crest of n mighty wac; thero was just as much money in the country the day after as the day before. The failure of Vil lard's schomes last winter took nothing awav from Oregon that Oregon hadn't made by the advancement of values con sequent upon tboso plans, and can no more affect tho psrmanent prosperity of the oommonwealth than tho loss of a loaded vessel could affect the next year's salmon pack. Tho proposed new routo from Oregon to San Francisco is attracting ponio at tention. A short time ago in conversa tion with Colonel Hogg, tho president of tho Oregon Pacific railroad, that gentle man told tho writer that he proposod to give the O. R. & N. Co. some lively oppo sition, nnd stated his intention to make it moro of an object for San Francisco passengers to go and como via Yaquina than via Astoria. The trackless ocean is free to all without being restricted to par allel rails of iron or steel, but though the colonel is an enterprising man it seems as though ho had an insuperable task before him. The idea seems to be that time and money may be saved on the proposed new routo; that the passen ger fiom Portland can go bv rail to Ya quina, go aboard tho O. P. Co.'s steamer there the next morning and reoch San Francisco the next afternoon, spending but ono night at sea. There aro a good many things to interfere with the feasi bility of this project; tho most prominent is the fact that the condition of the en trance to Yaquina is such that no vessel approaching in size or comfort the magnificent steamers that enter tho Co lumbia can get there. Still tho enter prise is so far advanced as to deserve con sideration. Should the opposition lino start it will have something to do with hastening tho inevitable at Astoria. Tho Queen, State and Columbia will prob ably constitute the San Franoisco deet, with a freight steamer in addition. As toria will be made the terminus of the ocean service, and tho long-hoadedness of the O. R. & N. officials in build ing at Astoria the finest dock on the Pacific coast will bo made manifest. The AlasJxin which has been lving at Portland sinco coming round the Horn will act as messenger from Astoria eastward. Hying up to Portland with the passengers from San Francisco that go that far and farther, and thus avoiding the iietention ana vexatious ae lav occasioned by the shoaling of the Columbia and "Willamette chonnols. Competition and opposition stir up and spur on all legitimate business and the starting of an opposition line to Oregoa would have a vivifying effect upon the present company. Fares and freights have always been something in which Astorians 'consider they aro treated a little unjustly. None of us quite relish iliugins down 20 at 214 Montgomery St., San Francisco, and being handed a ticket to Portland, especially if the Asto rian is venturesome enough to ask for a ticket to Astoria, and risks being with ered ov 1110 superior oemg wuo voucu safes the information that ho can get off at Astoria if ho wants to. Besides it looks a littlo unfair when one reflects that ho can get a ticket to Seattle "cabin passago, meals and state-rooms free," for $16. when it costs 4 more to a point so much nearer the metropolis. So that on the whole Col. Hogg's project is one that is not "viewed with entire disfavor bv Astorians. F. J. Taylor came near boing defealod for judge of this district becauso un scrupulous persons printed his initfals in correctly on many Republican tickets. Such conduct deserves unqualified con demnation.

A laugh may convey all manner of sea-1 timents joy,- scorn or anger; it may bo the most musical or most discordant of sounds, the most delightful 6r the most horrible which can fall upon our eara. Contrast the happy latlghter of merry children with the glibbering 'cry of the maniac, or tho hoarse laugh of a tenant criminal, tho musical ripple of cultivated mirth with the roara of a tipsy crowd at a fair. A really musical laugh Is perhaps rarer than a really musical voice. The giggle, tho snigger, tho half choked laugh are common enough; but how seldom do we hear that melodious sound, tho laugh in its perfection. It should not bo shrill, nor too loud, nor too long. It should not bear any double meaning, any bidden sarcasm in its mirth. It should not be so boisterous as to exhaust the laughter and deafen the listeners. Peg Woffington is said to have been celebrated for the music of her laughter on tho stage a most difficult accomplish ment, for nothing (except, perhaps, a sneeze) is harder to counterfeit than a laugh. There are many vnrieties of laughs. Thero is the -musical, cultivated and extremely rare one, pleasant to listen to as a chimo of bells. There is the glad, if sometimos shrill,- merriment of chil dren, the happiness of which condone? its noise. Thero is tho loud guffaw of the vulgar, and the laughter which appears likely to tear the laugher in pieces, causing him to wipe his eyes of tor the explosion, is over. Thero is tho laugh of embarrassment when a shy person at a loss what to say next, "remarks to he," as Artemus Ward described it. There is the schoolgirl's gigglo; and the schoolboy's sniggle, as he reflects on some recently perpetuated but still recollected pieco of mischief. There is the chuckle of the successful man. All these laughs bear sonde' family re semblance to each other; they all, in their degree, express sensations 'of pleasure. There axe laughs more cutting than the bitterest speeches, more alarming than the cruelest threats. Satirical laughter is most offensive, A laugh can convey contempt which words would fail -to ex press. Is any one proof against being annoy ed by ridicule? Fven a dog is sensible when he is being laughed , and resents the impertinence, borne animals are in deed quite as sensitive to derision as human beings. Tho laughter of th un derbred, which finds open amusement in the minor troubles of tbeir neighbors say the ridicule lavished on a sea-siok ar rival at a pier, or on hapless foreigners in an altercation- "with a cabman, or an old gentleman who falls down n slide also ranks among.-, laughs offensive." Then thero is the laugh of incredulity. When Tom goes to his rich uncle, full of glowing descriptions of the perfections of the lady to whom he is engaged, or of the appointment which ho expects to ob tain, does tho old gentleman damp his nephew's ardor by a long harangue? No, ho only gives a dry laugh: and Tom's hopes of a check fall rapidly. Too raro laughers are as unpopular as too ready ones. A teller of good stories never forgives tho man who does not laugh at his jokes. Many persons havo made their fortunes by laughing at judi cious moments; applauding some poor jest, or becoming convulsed with mirth at a dull pun. To bo duly appreciative of his patron's wit was an important part of the duty of a hanger-on. With what ready laughter aro a schoolmaster's wit ticisms received by his class! There is a story of a dramatic author, whose play had been accepted, being' re quested to make sundry alterations to suit the taste of the actors. Among other ohangea, the manager suggested that "a laugh" should be introduced at the con clusion of a speech of an out-going per former; "it would give him a better exit." The author pleaded that to admit 'this alteration would spoil the whole dialogue, but tho manager was urgent still. "Think it over, and. do what you can; B 'a position in the theatre demands it!" When laughs are thus prized it is not wonderful that persons who rarely use their risible muscles aro unpopular. First Claw Photograph (UUery. S. B.
