ASTORIA, OREGON:
SATURDAY JUNE 21. 18W
It has been discovered that all the
elected presidents since Lincoln have
worn full b sards.
The singular spectacle of British
troops protecting Parnell men from
Orange rioters was witnessed in
Newry June 8th.
The Chinese ambassadorship to
France has been abolished, and the
treaty of peace with France is con
demned by the Mongolians.
A steamer line from Gottenberg
the second city of commercial im
portance in Sweden is the latest de
velopment of Boston's commerce.
The trades' council of London,
Eng., has communicated with the
labor organizers of the United States
on the subject of international union.
It is stated that when the queen of
Madagascar died her loyal subjects
wore no clothes for a period of thirty
days. This is a very cheap way to
go into mourning, but there are ob
jections to it
"With a population in 1880 of
1,G00,000, Texas -polled 240,000 votes.
Her 2,000,000 inhabitants, if the same
proportion of them vote this year,
will poll 300,000 votes.

Dceiko the first five months of the
present year 910 miles of .railroad
track have been laid in the United
States. During the same period
fifteen roads have been placed in the
hands of receivers.
A tuekc-masted, schooner-rigged
wooden steamer, named the Al7ci, has
been comploted by the Goss Marine
IronAVorks, Bath, Maine, for the Ore
gon Southern Improvement Company
to ply between Coos Bay and Sun
Francisco.
Mia. Scovidlb, the sister of Guit
eau, is at "Washington, Penn., selling
piottires, as she states, for the pur
pose of raising money with which to
prosecute those who were instru
mental in the hanging of her brother.
She goes under a fictitious name.
The Troy Times of a late date says
that the name of ex-Senator Conkling
was presented for membership to the
Manhattan club three weeks ago
The Manhattan is the leading Demo
cratic club of New York. Another
eastern paper says he was elected
without one blaok ball being cast
Thhbb are various ways of cooking
crow, but only an expert knows how
to make it ho palatable that it can be
swallowed without a rye face. It
may be boiled, broiled, stewed, fried,
steauie grilled, stuffed, fricaased,
-devilled, braudered und baked, and
yet none of these wn-yB may serve to
disguise the taste. As many dyspeptic
Republicans in New York will be rec
ommended this summer by their phy
sicians to live on crow, there will be
a great demand for accomplished
cooks. Perhaps tho safest plan for
the invalids will be to bolt their crow
raw with a little salt
The residuary legatees of Uncle
Sammy are legion. Such a pricking
up of ears never was seen as followed
the publication of his letter. Candi
dates who had buried their little
booms with silent tears immediately
began digging them up again. If the
Sage of Greystone was henceforth to
lie tucked away in his political sar
cophagus it was resurrection day all
along the line. Cleveland hung out
his flags. Senator Bayard smiled
like a terrapin in a stew. McDonald
hoisted the hickory Hoosier handker
chief. Payne is laying pipe. Ben
Butler is unbottling himself. Flower
is coming down from where the wood
bine twineth and Sam Bandall has
slapped "Pig-Iron" Kelley on the
back. They will make it lively until
the 8th of next month.
The wife of Senator Harrison of
Indiana, has decorated a set of china
dinner plates in a novel and original
manner. On each she has painted a
bird of a different species, and on the
border of the plate a verse written by
one of the best poets on that particu
lar kind of bird. "What tho country
now needs is a campaign set of china,
appropriately decorated. Four of
the plates could bear the portraits of
the Republican and Democratic can
didates for the presidency and vice
presidency respectively, while on the
rest of tho set tho pictures of those
who yearn for the office might appear.
On the border of each of these plates
a verse setting forth the merits of the
individuals represented should be in
scribed. After the campaign is over
the .entire set, which would probably
oonsist of several thousand pieces,
could be sold at auction and the pro
ceeds devoted to a Salt Creek sink
ing fund for the disappointed of next
November.
