C2j mt m gtftoran. ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY .AUGUST 3, 1861 The Walla Walla is going to be gin dredging at St Helen's bar again. Thkee tons o salmon from Astoria passed through Portland yesterday en route to Chicago and eastern points. The celebrated race horse Jay Eye See made the best time on record at Providence, E. L last Friday, trot ting a mile in 2:10. The candidate of the Prohibition Darty has a good name, anyhow. The original St John was a rigid teetota ler and extremely fond of water, but he lost his head early in the campaign of his time. Three millions of people have within the past sixty years emigrat ed from Germany, and to-day four special societies are giving their support-to the colonization movement German settlements are being formed on the west coast of Africa. Eecent ly England has consented to the hoisting of the Imperial flag over An gra Peguenna. Prince Bismarck, it would seem, is now favorable to emi gration; but he is anxious, -while Ger mans are settling in various coun tries, that there should bo sown with them the seeds of German trade. Logan's letter has not only aroused a great deal of enthusiasm among his many martial admirers but it contains one solid chunk of philosophy which not even the immortal Tupper could controvert. The soldier-statesman says: "The advjintage of having a bank note in the house which will be as good in the morning as it was the night before should be appreciated by all." The senator's apothegm is worthy of a place among the maxims of the ancients. It is just such a motto that would make glad the heart of a man to whom a bank note is a burden in his mind. If Mr. Logan had said beef, instead of bank note his maxim might have become a thing of beauty and a joy forever. J3ut then when one has the bank note ho can generally get the beef. The captain of the Spanish gun boat Flamingo has decidedly put his official foot into it. "When he under took to fire into a British sloop he probably remembered the lime when Sir Francis Drake and the elements combined to sink the greatest fleet the world had ever seen. His act was a high handed one, and one which John Bull will not be slow to resent This irate animal has al ready got its mane up, and the ex pression of its tail is warlike in the extreme. A lieutenant and two ma rines have laid their hardy right hnnda upon the Don, and ho -will possibly know better in future than to tackle a friendly craft If a simi lar insult had been placed upon one of our own sloops our entire navy would have been ordered to keep afloat for three weeks. Fbom partially finished statistics for the season, says the News of the 2nd, a healthy showing of business is made, a gratifying increase in nearly all lines of produce received in Port land, over those of the previous season, being shown. ne total re ceipts of various articles since August 1, 1883 have been as follews: 2,883,- 052 centals wheat, 503,823 barrels flour, 112,123 centals oats, 5,528 cen tals barley, 48,9S1 centals bran, 45, 025 centals millstuff, 24,818 sacks potatoes, 43,205 bales hay, 9,473,119 pounds wool, 1,475,325 pounds hides, 30,290 boxes fruit, 41,131 barrels limet 31,463 sacks flaxseed, and 1,818,111 pounds hops. In wool, flour, hops and wheat a large increase will be noticed over the product of the for mer season. This ehowing augurs well for a revival in all branches of business in the near future. If ever a chivalrous soul filled mortal clay it was that of John Mc Gahan, the brave American journalist -whose trenchant pen was the true liberator of Bulgaria from Moslem yoke; for his vivid story of the mas sacre atBatak made the war of liber ation a necessity and gave Russia the moral backing of all Europe. Fol lowing the Hussion Army, the insep arable companion of the death-defying Skobeleff, laughing at fatigue, privation and accident, McGahon fell at last a victim to fever not far from Constantinople. But his dar ing date3 farther back. He made the ride to Khiva before Burnaby was heard of. "Wherever a cool head, perfect bravery and manly bearing were needed McGahan was ready to move at a moment's notice, and the brilliance of his narrative was always abreast of the brilliance of the achievement His statue stands in Phillippopolis. His remains after a long rest in Turkish soil are on their way to his native land. In honoring them as they take their way to Ohio, American journalists will do honor to themselves as well as to their peerless brother, McGahan. The N. Y. Times of the 31st ulh had an entire page of the late history of the Union Pacific railroad the causes of Sidney Dillon's resignation and the action taken by Jay Gould and 'his followers. In an editorial it says: "No railroad in this country, or anywhere, ever had so interesting a-iktory as the Union Pacific. It iras projected as a national measure, and with liberal aid from the government at a time when the country was in the throes of rebellion. It was built not merely with a view to the pecuniary profit of its individual promoters but to secure to the government at all times, but particularly in time of war, the use and benefits of theToad for postal, military and other pur poses. From its beginning its his tory has been a part of the national history. Questions relating to its management and policy have been constantly before congress, as sub jects for legislation. No other road was ever so attentively studied and watched over by men in high public positions, and no other road it must be said, ever destroyed so many regu lations ana orougnt so many prom ising public careers to an inglorious termination. Its public history has been a promising a public scandal, from the beginning, and its inner and hidden history abounds in secrets still darker than those that have been told." MARRIED.
