The use of official postage stamps by the war department has been abolished and The Astobian's letters from the war office now bear the Secretary's frank. Robt. Miller, postmaster at Sunshine, Pacific county, is in the city. He reports his section prosperous, though the pre vailing dullness in the logging camp-i is unsatisfactory. There aro five vacant scholarships to tho state university at Eugene from this district. Information regarding them maybe had from State Senator F. C. Reed, or Representative C. Leinenweber. Yesterday "waB about tho nearest ap proach to hot weather that Astoria has afforded this season. In the afternoon a delightful sea breeze occasioned compas sion for those that were not here to en joy it. Warrou Stone was brought down from Marsh's logging camp yesterday suffer ing from a severe wound in the back of the head caused by a fallen tree. He was taken to tho hospital. He is in no serious danger. A private dispatch received in this city yesterday states the new steamer Coos Bay, recently built at Coos bay and now at San Francisco having her machinery put in, will leave for the Columbia river on the 15th inst. Tom Merry and party got in on the Gypsy jesterday. They've been over on Gray's harbor, to which place they floated down the Chehalis in a canoe and havo had no end of fun. Tho trip is a novel and attractive one. Some time ago the elders of the First Presbyterian church of this place ex tended a call to Rev. E. "W. Garner of Escanaba, Mich., to accept the vacant pastorate. Mr. Garner has accepted, and is expected to arrive here next Tuesday. Mr. C. R. Getchell, a leading salmon canner from southern Oregon, is in tho city. Mr. Getchell reports business good in that section. His cannery on the Co quille began operations in Juno and will continue till tho 1st of November. Ho will bring down somo Chinamen with him on his return next week. S Report comes of the discovery of a mica deposit about fifteen miles south west of here. If found in any quantity it is of great value. Mica is now used in a great many different ways; tooth pow der, steam packing, axle grease, etc., and in the crude state is worth $1.80 a pound, which beats salmon at present rates. Report comes from Colfax, W. T., that farmers there are trying to sell wheat at twenty-five cents a bushel to get some thing to eat. There must be some mis take somewhere. "Wheat is certainly worth more than that, and the most of farmers would prefer to grind some of their wheat and eat it rather than to sell it at that figure. The insurance companies that recently raised rates havo signified an intention to come down a little in Portland. If thoy don't get wind of these now hose carts that aro coming they will probably do tho same thing in Astoria. Either that or considerably loss business. No business man likes to bo uninsured, but at the same time he dislikes to pay what appears to be an exorbitant rate. C. J. Trenchard was elected council man from the first ward and now lives in the second, so that as far as represent ation is concerned the matter is a stand off, both wards being adequate repre sented in the council. It might, how ever, bo in order for them to exchange, unless somo other gentlemen want to serve the city and be cussed for nothing a year, in which case it is unlikely that the present incumbents would seriously object. Letters from tho east inform us that tho proposed improvement of the mouth of the Columbia attracts great attention on theAtlantio coast and in Europe. It is considered that it will require engin eering skill of the highest order. Addi tional attention is attracted bv tho fact that while improving the mouth of tho Mississippi the army corps was ignored and a civilian's plan chosen, in the case of the Columbia tho engineer corps of the army has been given supervision so that the army corps look upon the mat ter with special interest.

Six Fbakcisco, July 31. The fish com missioners are becoming greatly con cerned about the small number of salmon that are running in the Sacramento river this season. Never before has the run been so light. - Commissioner J. D. Red ding, who has surveyed the field, says that the canneries havo not been able to do anything liko an average business and somo have been forced to shut down. The fishermen have had hard work to make a living and because of the light earnings during the regular season prep arations are being made to fish during the close season, which begins to-morrow. A banu or ureeks have written a letter to the commissioners, setthm forth the hardships they have experienced this season on account of the lack of fish and informing the board that they will fish during the close season. "We shall starve if we don't,' they say, "and we might as well be shot as starved." Tho commissioners have for some time been taking testimony wherever it could be obtained, in the hope of ascertaining the cause of the alarming falling off in the number of salmon. Fishermen all along the river have been called upon to give their ideas, and the commission ers have found that there aro many caus es that act adversely to tho great fish in dustries of the state. Thousands of salmon are killed every day by the sea lions, which lie in wait at tho entrance of the bay. Catfish, which have been transplanted from the east into the Sacramento, are deadly en emies of the salmon, and it is tho'ught they capture many thousands of them. The mining debris evil has always had its bad effect on the salmon interest. It has spoiled the breeding grounds, and during the floods produced by filling up of the river beds, young fish "to the num ber of millions find their way into shal low, overflowed tracts, and aro left stranded when the waters recede from the overflowed land. Opposite the Sacra mento hundreds of cart loadsof fish have been hauled away after a sudden fall in the water. Such wholesale destruction cannot fail to have a disastrous effect upon fish that make the Sacramento their spawning place. Mlw Thompson at Occidental Hull. "Jane Eyre" is one of the most attrac tive stories in tho English language and its dramatization has been witnessed with emotion by thousands who saw on the stage tho living iwrtraiture of the hero nud heroine of the book. At the Occidental last evening a large audience assembled to see Miss Charlotte Thomp son, one of tho queens of the American siage, in ner great personation oi tuat character. Her rendition of the child, the governess, and at last tho object of Rochester's affections, elicited tho warm est commendation. Mr. Craig as Rochester," was also heartily applauded, and the support throughout was well worthy of the high merit of the principal performers. To-night will bo given "Nell Gwynne," in which character Miss Thompson has received tho highest praiso from the eastern press and public. MISS THOMPSON'S REPLY. Pom-land, Or., July 30, 1884. Messrs.

The majority of the signs that you see on laundries or tea stores kept by China men are simply fancy names adopted for their auspicious significance; for in stance, ''Hop Sing" means "deserving of prosperity," J4Woh Loong' means "suc cess through concord," " Nee Wah' means "integrity and harmony.' You may say they are simply mottoes, having no reference to the proprietor or the members of a firm whatsoever. To call tho proprietor of ono of the laundries here ,Nee Wah" would be as absurd as calling the members of the dry goods firm of Forbes & Wallace. "Nemo we im- pune lacessit." Every properly constituted Chinaman has five names the prenomina of the Romans besides his surname or cog nomen. The lust is fixed and handed down from one generation to another There are mora than 390 patronymics known iu China, not counting those of naturalized subjects who origin:: tt-d from Tartary. Their derivation is various and instructive, and they embody in their curious hyeroglyphic shapes many a historic truth and reference io dynastic changes. The family names of thf first Chinese ambassador to this couutry and of the present minister, Chia and Jum, were nt one time, say 500-B.C, tho names of two principalities under the Chow king. The descendants of the great Shun, the ideal ruler in the golden age of China, were lords of Chin. The de scendants of one of the younger brothers of Wu, founder of the Chow dynasty, were the petty sovereigns of Jum. Hence a contemplation of these two names car ries us back to China's" feudal times. The feudal system lasted nearly 2,000 years, till tho first emperor of the Tsin dynasty abolished it. In subsequent times it has been revived under modified forms, but it has never recovered from tho blow that the builder ot tne great wall dealt it. Tho nnncinlo of the Ohi nose system is similar to feudalism in .Europe tuat is, tno uoiaing oi ianus Dy militarv tenure. Somo names denote certain mental or personal pecu liarities of thoso who first bore thpm. Others were adontcd on certain occasions, as some grand events in tho lives oi those wno assumeu tncni. i'at ronvmics were known at the dawn of the Chinese authentic history, but were not extensively used in company with the prenomen in uesixiu-iiuii umu wiuiu cius's time. Confucius's family name, Kune. was oulv in existence threo gener ations before ho did it tho honor of bear ing it. Kung means en aperture. Somo men, born near certain rivers and cer tain places, took their names from them. A few patronymics are double, that is, consisting of two characters, and the historv of some of them is Tory curious. Tho name of Ou-yang, borne by "our Con- bUl-VJUHCttU IU lieu iuiu, w.ia uuncuiu this way: An aged man named On had no descendants except a grandson, who had married, but was as yet unblessed with a male child to bear the honored name. The young man being sickly, at last died, leaving his aged grandsire and youthful wife to mourn his death. Tho young widow, contrary to the custom of the country and heedless of the en treaties of the lonely old man, married again to a man named Yang and soon after her marriage gave birth to a posthu mous son by hor first husband. In the meantime she had lost track of Ou,whom sho supposed to be dead. Time passed on and the posthumous descendant of the Ous became a famous man, having at tained to the hightest literary rank in the empire. He took' the name of his stop fatner, and hfd always been known by the name, Yang. (But the old gentle man On was not dead, as it was sup posed, but was living in solitary retire ment.) One day a fortune teller, one of that tribe who knows everything, past, present, and to come, sought him in his seclusion and told him what a good for tune had befallen his family and him self. The old gentleman was thunder struck. Amazement and joy struggled in his bosom for the mastery, He could hardly believe it until he had ascertained tho truth of it in person. Off he posted to his quondam grand-daughter-in-law's house on his errand. It happened that his great-grandson was -riding on that day in the direction of tho ancestral tem ple of the Yangs to pay his respects, be ing attended by a gay retinue, and chance contrived a meeting between them on the street. On. having learned who was in tho sedan, got close to its side and, with cane in hand, began to belabor him, the famous literatus and tho "cynosure of all eyes' that day. The attendants seized him, but, seeing his aged appear nnce, foreboro to do him injury. An ex planation of his strange conduct fol lowed. After much debate and after much wrangling between Ou and the Yangs, a compromise was made. Tho young man paid his rejects to both his Ou and Yang ancestors, and adopted the name Ou-yang. The name Lee whioh you think has been "assumed" by me, is merely mv Chinese surname spelled with English letters. You don't suppose that the An- glo Saxon race have the monopoly of names in addition to the monopolies of religion, philosophy and trade, do you? Loo in Chinese means "a plum," and is identical with Li, which is the surname of Li Hung Chang, called tho "Bismark of China." But i prefer tho long sound in double e to tho short i to which some may by mistake give the long sound and make the name sound like a lie.. I have not the honor of being the great minis ter's relation; I haven't the claim even of forty-fifth cousin. For Lee, or Li, is as common as Smith, and is borne by a larger number of persons than any other nemo. Fevery male child born in China is first called by his "milk name." When he grows old enough to attend school he takes a "book name." When he has learned tho mysteries of composition he competes for literary honors under an assumed name, which is finally adoutod when he successfully passes his examina tion and obtains his degree. His equals address him by another, either coined by themselves or adopted by him. At his marriage ho adopts still another called "style." In addi tion to those enumerated, nick names aro also common They are al fanciful. We do not have any conven tional "Thomas, Richard and Henry," and the rest. All our names aro words which mean something and are taken from the dictionary, lor example, Yan means "by imperial, favor," andPhou, Foo, signifies wealth, that is wealth by tho Emperor's favor. Girls generally havo only the "milk name," and often times, especially when they have grown to be women, they are simply designated by numbers according to the order of their birth. Inferiors and juniors never address their superiors and elders by name, but always by some title, and children are forbidden by tho canons of Confneionu to montion any of their father's string of of names except that which is given him by his equals, much less be named after him. In the samo family no names are ever duplicated. People who are not scholars have only the "milk name," the "matrimonial style." Coolies and other laborers oftentimes lack tho "equality Tinma" "Ah Sit," , r U 1? rf ..uu.u. .u u.i, inline VII. WD UC1U IU Bret Harte's funny poem, is probably a "milk name" given by tho father of the hero when he drew nutriment from tho fountains of infant life. "Sin" means "first" he was probably the first token of his parents' wedded bliss. "Ah" is something like tho ie in Charlie, prefixed instead, to add euphony to the word "Sin," Sometimes it ia spelled or. It has no significance of its own. Ian Lee. Gray sells Sackett Bros.

He was a tall, athletic fellow, wearing short, loose trousers of white cotton cloth. His legs wero bare below the knees; he wore Turkish red pointed shoes on his feet, without stock ings; a loose jacket of brown felt over a white cotton shirt, and his head was cov ered with a metallic bcwl, which shone brightly. A leather belt encircled his waist and was clasped with a largo brass buckle in front, no was coming toward us in a double-quick trot, brandishing in a proud maimer the brass spoat that bo longed to the hose. He was followed by the engine and the firemen that belong to it. Oh. what a sight! Most of them were scantily clothed, and some did not even have caps upon their heads, but I noticed that all wore the regulation IipH with the large buckle in front. Tho en gine itself was nothing more than a big sized Garden pump, carried on the shoul ders of eight men. four in front and four behind. Thoy relieved one another now and then with great dexterity and alert ness. They soon swept by us, followed by tho hose, which was coiled over a 1mm pu:e, iuu miuh oi wxncii rested on tho shoulders of another file of men. Just as tuey readied tue next corner there emergen irom a side street another en gine, whereupon a squabble for the right ot way immediately arose. The two companies jostled and pushed for- wuru, cauu pany trying to get ahead of tho other. After a long harangue and bluster, accompanied by constant yelliu", M..t'tuuiux, uim u.iru worm, tuev lowered their respective engines to tho rnnnfl and fell into a regular fight, wrestling, pushing and knocking one another down Hi a most ferocious manner. Their looks and actions were frantic, and thev fought like madmen. , ,"Ah! There comes the Ser-Asker, the mimcfAr nf trif TTnMI orw.. nAtll. .t--r- V. ... - .

Archimedes, whose name has been ac cidentally torn off and swallowed up in oblivion was born in Syracuse 2,171 years ago last spring. He was a philosopher and mathematical expert. During his life he was never stumped in figures. It ill befits me now, standing by his new made grave, to say aught of him that is not of praise. Wo can onlv mourn his untimely death and wonder which of our little band of great men will be the next toco. Archimedes was tho first to originate and use the word '-Eureka." It has bean successfully used very much lately, and as a result we have the Eureka baking powder, the Eureka suspender, the Eure ka bed-bug buster, the Eureka shirt, and the Eureka stomach bitters. Archimedes once said: "Give me Wberelniav Stand nnflTtr!! mn-n ffia world." I could write it in the original ureek, but fearing that the nonpareil delirium tremens type might run short, I give it in the English language.
