Have you reserved seals for 'Jane Eyre" Friday evening? To be had at the New York Novelty Store. The steamer A. B. Field will leave for Tillamook on the ."5th of August, at G a. m., from Main street wharf. The election for chief and assistant engineers of the fire department will bo at the hall of Astoria Engine Co., No. One on the 13th prox. At a meeting of the .stockholders of the Ilwaco Steam Navigation company held yesterday, the present efficient offi cers were unanimously reelected. The six steamers arriving from San Francisco this month have brought more freight to Astoria than any similar num ber of steamer arrivals in the historv of the port. Thore are several clumps of thistles on the roadway below Uniontown that should be uprooted before they further adulter seen mat may uo wiuespreau mischief in the future. Very little east wind this season, the wind blowing almost steadily from the west with an occasional veer to the south. Yesterday the sun felt warm. Augast may-have a few sultry hours in store. To close out a real estate partnership E. CHolden will sell at public auction on the 1st and 2nd of August, at his auction rooms in this city, the remainder of the lots in the beach addition to Ocean Park. See advt. Under the popular management of Leo L Stock and his obliging assistant, Miss Lawrence, the establishment of J. Pilger & Co. is meeting with increased favor. Their goods are tastefully dis played, and the wants of every purchaser carefully supplied. They invite a call and show some fine goods. There is at least one town on the coast where the insurance rates are higher than in Astoria Tacoma. The late fire there brings out the intelligence that tho parties insured had paid sixteen per cent. Tacoma must have been buying new fire apparatus, getting a new engine, or another thousand feet of hose lately. That's the way it works here. American shipmasters have hit upon a plan to get around the Dingley shipping bill. They hire the sailors at so much a day until the ship sails instead of giv.'ng them the usual advance money. Of course, the sailor does not hurt himself working while the ship is in port loading or on berth, and so the matter is evaded. It is very, very naughty for newspapers to tell these things, but this is in the na ture of a ioke as the U. S. concrress draft ed and passed the bill with special refer ence to tho advance wages and an inten tion to do away with them. HE TOBE DOWJf THE BBIIKJE, And Then He Defied the High Sheriff. Some time ago the county built bridge over tho "Walluski, which has been a great convenience to the residents of that vicinity, as it enables them to get into town without annoyance or delay. But nothing suits everybody and Mr. Koch objected in a very forcible manner. He is the owner of a scow, and claims that his riparian rights have bean as sailed and bis privileges as a navigator grossly outraged. At tho last session of the county court he demanded that the bridge bo taken down at once and when refused he told that tribunal to depart to Hades and that he himself would do tho ruthless deed. It is now claimed that he did pull down the bridge that his scow might sail the waters of tho "Walluski, and yesterday Sheriff Ross, armed with a warrant, went forth to arrest him. He treated the warrant with contempt and laid violent hands upon tho chief officer of the county with the intention of treat ing him as he had the bridge. But after an ineffectual struggle, he was overpow ered, handcuffed, and brought to town a sadder, and it is to be hoped, a wiser man. It takes a bigger man than Mr. Koch to run the county even with more justice on his side than he seems to have. Ill tho meantime the Walluski will be bridged, and the residents there will have free communication with the city. AMUSEMENTS. At the Academy of Music last night Miss Charlotte Thompson produced her great play of "Jane Eyre,". Miss Thompson has frequently played this part here, and her beautiful imper sonation of the heroine is well known. The illused orphan and governess could not be in better hands. In the prologue, with her hair hanging in a braid, and wearing a short dress, Miss Thompson looked to be noa more than fifteen years of age. Later in the play she realized the woman's part with strength and ef fect. This is tho secret of her success in "Jane Eyre," in which an aotress must play child and woman, and few can ac complish the task. The support was very good. Mr. Craig, was an artistic Rochester, and played well a difficult part. As the Frenchman Mr. Yeranco made a great hit. To-night "Miss Mil ton" will be played, and to-morrow noon "East Lynne ' will be repeated for the entertainment of the ladies, who never fail to turn out when it is given at a mat inee. Ar.

Who of our readers but has on some occasion gone into his or her old, unused, attic or lumber room, and spent an idle hour in looking over the old furniture, tho forgotten bits and remnants, the yellow half-faded letters, the little scraps and fragments that start old memories and bring back tho features of those that wrote thosG letters, and sat with us around that old table, and wore that funny old coat, or that queer looking bonnet, or played on that rickety old piano, or laughed over that torn book, or sang in days gone by the songs that lie mute within those torn and dingy leaves. The spider webs and dust cover them, and the mists of mem mory shadow the recollections of the long ago. Yet. turning from the bright sunlight of the present to the darkened chambers of memory, we open the win dow of recollection and take a look at the picture gallery of the year's that are gone. "We take down the pertraits: for one a smile, for another a sigh, for a third a feeling of surprise that we ever had an unkind look or an ungenerous speech, and a half-formed wish that he or she who is gone could know how we had forgiven thorn or how much we need ed their forgiveness. There is a little well-spring of senti ment in every heart. No matter how hot and dusty the highway of life, in little shady corners where "tho wheels do not roll nor the hoofs trnmplo aro blooming flowers and fragrant blossoms, and is it not well that it is so? Among so much that is hard and cold and cynical come breathings of tho past and softened thoughts of days gone by and of those that sinco those days havo separated from us on Life's dusty pathway. Thoughts like these are suggested by an idle hour spent in turning over the pages of Tue Astokiax of ten years ago. Did you ever stop to think how faithful u curumciur is me nrmieu sueot you hold in yonr hand? What an epitome of tho life of the place it isl Nothing too small to chronicle, nothing too great to huuu: wuu me impartiality 01 an nis torian, and the careful candor of a wit ness sworn on the stand, it gives the history of you and your neighbor; the birth of your children, the marriage of your friends; the arrival and departure of your acquaintances; tho death and saddening scenes of separation; the triv ial gossip of tho hour; every street and house and nook and corner finds its his tory in tho daily paper. In heat and cold; in drought or flood; in summer's sun or winter's sterm: the little history of the city for one day is laid upon your break fast table, serves its ephemeral mission, and is thrown aside. Yet it gives you immortality. It doe3 not die, nor does it allow your little ac tions to die. They aro chronicled, tho good with the bad, and, when that which is now present is past, and that which lies in tho future is at hand, and the record of tho time gives voice, who is it that can grow otherwise than conscious of the fleeting character of all we see or know, and in the thought grow kindly toward the littlo comings and goings that make up the round of life. This matter of "life" is a good deal like a play. Some of us have our parts cast for high tragedy: others, for low comedy; more come in the burlesque and the farce: but no matter whether we get down in front of the footlights and are awarded applause or aro crowded back against the scenery and shiver in the draught, there's no chance for any ob jection. We've all had our parts assigned to ns, and must go on with the per formance. It was not, however, with any intention to moralize that we started to write; only just to skim over the pages of The As tomax of July30, 1874, which we Yester day had occasion to refer to. On tho editorial page is mention of the removal of a weekly newspaper from Ka lama to Tacoma, and fitting comment on the folly of supposing that Kalama could ever bo a city when such a place ex isted as Astoria with all its manifold ad vantages. Senator Mitchell is commend ed for his efforts to have congress make an appropriation for the improvement of the Columbia river and the O. S. N. Co., is given particular fits for its careless ness regarding the baggage of Astoria passengers. The necessity for improving the tide lands is shown and tho prophecy made that Capt. West at Westport will buuniy muKu a Digger ousiness ox can ning beef at Westport than the whole salmon business of the Columbia. Announcement is made of the starting of Badollet & Co.'s cannery, the firm be ing composed of Jno. Hobson, Geo W. Warren, J. Badollet, H. S. Aiken, and C. Leinenweber, with S. T. McKean as secretary. The' Brookfield cannery is al so written up, the proprietors being Jos. G. Megler, A. J. Megler, T. S. Jewett and J. S. Chambers. The pile driver has just begun work on Capt. Flavel's new -wharf. Susan Joplin is teaching in the Gray's river district, Col. Teal has opened a case of wine, Sam Arrigoni wants the Far mer's dock called ''The European dock," and Capt. Hustler gives notice that school taxes must be paid. Frank Taylor and O. P. Whitelaw have just organized abase ball club, tho Ajaxhaa arrived from San Francisco, J. Q. A. Bowlby has resigned as collector of the port, the Ore gon Central Bailroad has located its line to Astoria, one of E. A. Taylor's fishing boats has brought in a 1,250 pound stur geon, "Chemoquo"' street is going to be built west from The Abtobiax offioe, and the sloop Lizzie Brown commanded by Dennio Curran has arrived from Shoal water bay. A loud call is made for better facilities in the way of travel between Astoria and Portland. Figures are produced to show that it costs a man in time and money $23 to go to Portland, when, if things were only tho way they ought to be, the trip could bo made so that Astorians could get to Portland and back at an ex pense of $13.50. Eben Parker has brought in some fine Holland herring, tho neces sity for a telegraph line is shown, the fact that Astoria needs a brass band is clear ly demonstrated, and a strong plea made for the establishment of a light house at Point Adams. Tho city election has just taken place and everything is still red-hot. B. B. Spedden has been elected mayor; H. B. Parker, re corder; ' David Ingalls, treasurer; John W. Gearhart and F. Ferrell, councilmen; Jas. W. Welch street commissioner, and Wm. Oliver marshal. 118 votes were 'cast. The Bulletin of Portland, which has been saying naughty things about Astoria, is severely talked to and called all manner of hard names, and long rows of figures show how ridiculous is the idea that deep-draught vessels can go to Portland and load cheaper than at Asto ria. Portland gets several hard thumps, and the sad fate of a man who under took to fish for torn cod in the rear of The Astoeiax office is duly set forth. W. W. Parker has resigned from tho city counc:!, W. L. WortMngton has been elected to fill the vacancy, and Sheriff Twilight has received a full description of the lost Charley Boss. J. F. Warren is building a wharf at "Unity,' B. J. Morrison is going to organize a grange, little Miss May Van Dusen has got back from Seattle, and C. H. Page has killed a fine fat deer. The value of taxable property in the county is put at 803,534, number of polls, 282: and total value of town lots .$189,345. J. H. D. Gray offers $200 reward for the arrest of tho man that set fire to the Varttna, Henrv Spellmier makes boots for $10. C. H. Bain furnishes tilans and specifications, A. Van Dusen has a large stock of general merchan diss. I. W. Case's store is head quarters for supplies of all kinds; Miss Morrison furnishes millinerv: Leinen weber & Brown have a hemlock tannery; ax iiorn S. D. Adair" has a a largo stock of wheat bran and chopped feed; Hobson & Warren have an Al meat mar ket, and Job B033 supplies the best ice cream. Eugene Brock is running tho Industry, and the Mary H. carries tho mail to Clatsop. Moses Bogers gives no tice of county assessment; Ernst Pap mahl has tho Gormania saloon; E.C. Holden furnishes oysters andcoffeo and Henrv Jacobs ran a tho Astoria bakerv. Bev. T. A. Hyland and Mrs. M. E. Hy land have a private school; C. S. Wright is selling off the stock of G., Summers, deceased; W. L. McEwan is resident at torney; Dr. Pohl has an office opposite The Astobiak; P. H. Fox has a merchant tailoring establishment; F. Forreil runs the Astoria saw mills; S.N. Arrigoni has charge of tho Occident and C. B. Farle man, the Parker House. And so it goes;" the past and the pres ent; the old and the young; the living and the dead; as a tal that is being torn; a Elay that progresses; a panorama that is alf folded ud: and in the vears to come. TheAbtobias of-ulySOth, 1891, as far ahead of The Astoeiax of to-day as this morning's issue is of the one from which we quote, perchance the careless com piler of long forgotten facts may glance idly through the files of this year that now are oi such great import to us. and talk of the days of '84, in those days to come, when many of us like streaks of morning cloud shall havo melted into the infinite azure of eternity. l'LKlSAZkT IS SOME HF-SPECTS. Hut It Must Be Dreadfully Monotonous. Every week come blue covered books from the government printing office at Washington. These books are directed to The Daily Astobiax and are plumb full of information. They are reports made by American consuls in every part of the world. The man who cooks up the statistics for The Astobiax wus en gaged yesterday in reading an absorbing account of how they cultivate the fig in the south east quarter of the south west quarter o the north east by west section 7, T. 8., north of the Kingdom of Morocco, i d happening to turn over two leaves instead of one he plumped into an account of Malta, written by Mr. Worth ington, U. S. consul at that place. Malta always brings up the thought of Maltese cats, but it seems that these folks over in Malta have been doing other things than raising cats. Mr. Worthington says that Malta is a model country. That is, it has a model government. In the first place there are no taxes. That strikes us right where we live. It is evident that there are no justices courts in Malta, nor do they need any new court houses there. Then, reading along a little further. comes the intelligence that there is no insurance in Malta, that the buildings aro all fire proof, and that there is no fire department in Malta. Well, all we've got to say is that tho Maltese boys have missed lots of fun in their time. Any one who has never felt the cold shivers play tag up and down his back when the bell tower gives that first clang and yon begin to think where in Hades is the nre, and will No. One or No. 2 get there first, and then skip off with ono hundred othc ers pulling at the rope, doesn't know what life in its high and true significance really means. We havo not the pleasure of Mr. Worthington's acquaintance, and don't know whether he Ls a man of veracity or not, but it does look as if he was stretching things a lit tle, when further on we find that in Mal ta thore is a surplus in the treasury of $1,250,000, and that the mayor has bought bonds with it, and that no doesn't know what under the sun to do with the interest. This is crowding things a little, but it may bo so. We've got a good big bump of credulity and find it just as easy to believe as to disbelieve, but we submit it to the average Astorian. Doesn't it strike you as being a little fishy? The whole yarn? That p?rt of it about being out of debt, and having no insurance to pay, and no taxes, and no fire depart ment, and a million-and-a-quarter in bonds is all right, but when it comes to the last assertion that the mayor and city council don't know how to spend the accruing interest that rather gets you, doesn't it? It must ba a funny old place. No or dinances, no street improvements, no excitement of any kind. When the sheriff wants a man he doesn't have to get a boat and go up Young's river after mui. xitj just lejis mo nrst one ne meets that so-and so had better deliver himself up if he knows what's good for him; and in a week or so the culprit comes into camp. And jet, no ono cares to go to Malta; it has been made so easy to live there that we would all mis3 the friction, the competition, the effort to get to the front ana stay mere, tnat characterize life elsewhere. But as a curious picture of life and finance in other lands Consul Worthington's sketch of Malta is worthy of notice. Fine Falrlftwn FI) en. Mr. B. S.

The fishing season of 84 is obont at an end. and there is now going on a bal ancing up of books and an adjustment of accounts, concerning the business. Some of the fishermen havo left for the places from whence they came: tho greater part of those who fish every season remain. There is a mistaken idea afloat that the close of every fishing season sees an enormous number of men leave Astoria, and that they take great sums of money with them, leaving the city dull and life less for the remainder of the year. Noth ing can be more erroneous. True, a good many do come here every spring and go awav about this time, but thev do not take away nearly as much as is generally supposed, and the great majority of the men that catch fish hero every season are bona fide residents of this place, and good ones too. They belong largely to. the class that make good citizens. They are industrious, hard-working, prudent men who save their earn ings, invest it in Astoria properly and make homes for themselves and their lit tle ones. They add to the city's parma nent wealth, they buy their supplies here, and do as much as any one else to build Astoria np and make it the prosperous and flourishing city it is. Those that go are chiefly of tho class that tho place can best afford to lose; they bring nothing here and are of littlo permanent value; every year remain increasing numbers who buy real estate, build dwelling?, sup port schools and become factors of thu commonwoalth. Just at present there is more ready money in circulation here than in any other city of its size west of the Rocky Mountains. The canneries have paid out close on to a million of dolIars,which is being rapidly put into general circula tion, and which will adequately prevent any trouble naturally occasioned by the scarcity of coin so distressingly prevalent in less fortunate communities.
