m he ga gtotm ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY AUGUST 6. 18S4 A DISAPPOINTED COMMUNITY. The failure of the Northern Pa oifio railroad company to realize the hopes entertained by Seattle is a sore topio "with the people of that enter prising community. They had count ed bo surely on the great things that would follow in the wake of the ex pected railroad, they had relied so implicitly on the generalizations and half promises of Villard, that at the last visit of President Harris to them they could find nothing but reproach es to offer him. To intensify the sit uation, the Northern Pacific people?, who are consistent if nothing else, are helping Tacoma as much as it is the interest of a corporation to help any place, and Borne never hated Oarthage or envied her her prosperi ty half as much as Seattle appears to hate her sister community on the Sound. Up to quite recently there was so much preening and pluming, such exulting and complacent exhibition of advantage on the part of our enter prising brethren to the north that a little wholesome chastening would seem to be a real benefit to inflated pride. Seattle's present discomfiture is, in every sense, a blessing in dis guise. That it appears to the people of that place to be pretty effectually disguised, makes it none the less a blessing. Let them do as Astoria has done and is doing, improve their opportunities, develop their resouro e3, make the most of whatever natur al advantages they possets and so create such a city that the railroad must go to them on the same princi ple as the Arkansas man who stole a nmle in self-defense. s Cuxnixgham of Montreal left his family four years ago to look for work, and being an expert telegraph operator secured situations at various places. He finally got to San Fran cisco, where he remained for some time. He suddenly resolved to leave there and took a trip over the South ern Pacific railway to Texas, and fin ally brought up at Dennison, where he was employed as train dispatcher, but he failed to inform his family of his movements. On the night that he left San Francisco, the hotel where he lived was destroyed by fire and several perished in the flames. Cunningham was supposed to have been one of the victims, and his fami ly in Montreal had the debris from the fire looked over and a charred corpse was found which they claimed as that of Cunningham, and had it sent to Montreal and interred. The proceeds of the policy insurance on the life of the dead man for the bene fit of his parents have been collected. He was on a visit to New Orleans when he discovered this latter fact He immediately telegraphed to his family, but they repudiated him as an impostor. Now he is on his way to Canada to show up in person. It is simply a question of veracity, and secondarily a matter lo be referred to the size of the insurance policy. If large enough Mr. C. may have some difficulty in proving his existence It would be an unfortunate thing for the national cause in Ireland if Mr. Davitt, with his land-nationalization theories, should in any quarter of that country prevail over Mr. Par neU. Davitt is one of those men without depth who at times absorb other men's ideas with great facility, and until the latest is displaced by another no one can equal the zeal with which they push it Mr. Henry George infected Mr. Davitt with his theory of government ownership of land, all taxes to be land taxes, and straightway Davitt wants it applied to Ireland, of all countries of the world a subject country which can only be legislated for through Eng land, where laud ownership is, one might say, what binds ihn n,:.. tion together. Mr. Parnell may well aavise jir. uavitt to take his moon struck agitation to England. The cohesion of the Irish natinnni ,,. in its present prudent course should De maintained with or without Mr Davitt. The ancient custom of bottling tears is -still continued in Persia. Each of the mourners is given a niece of cotton, with which he wipes off his tears and subsequently squeezes them into a bottle. This eye-water is care fully preserved, as it is considered a powerful and efficacious remedy for a dying man afer every means has failed. Let the bolters from both parties who have tears to shed prepare to shed them now. They can let the briny drops fall into the bottles which are always with them and mingle with the cheering contents. The mixture might revivify the drooping spirits of their leaders and send them forth conquering and to conquer, lake the famous eye-water of Col onel Sellers, "there's millions in it" The Pall Mall Gazette, a leading English newspaper iu discussing the presidential nomination, frankly op poses Blaine, and says, plainly, "The question is, shall England or Ameri strule th3 coraing Presidential ? Thb Czar will visit Warsaw next month, but will reside at Scieruo wiee. He selected the latter place onocountof its - indestructible The man who attempts to cure his feet of summer soreness by freezing them is apt to regret it A Philadel phia poet named Leith tried " r operation, and now the doctors vainly endeavoring to save his h. The trouble with Mr. Leith was R he placed his feet upon two big chunks of ice, and they sunk right in. "When he attempted to draw them out his feet were ice-bound. Ho felt as if he was one of the sur vivors of the Greely expedition, and he swelled accordingly. It is never safe for a man to tamper with his feet, particularly a poet. William Daniel, of Baltimore, the Prohibition candidate for vice-president, is a man of diminutive stature and boyish appearance. It is told that when he .was one of the most distinguished lawyers on the "East'n sho' " of Maryland he visited one day one of the old families where still ob tained the custom of making the child ren eat at a second table after their elders had dined. So when dinner was announced one of the half-grown boys of the family sidled up to Mr. Daniel with the invitatien: "Let's you and me go out and play sock-ball while the grown folks eat dinner." If North Carolina newspapers are truthful, the ohurohes of that state are the only genuinely fire-proof buildings known. It is deolared that in recent large forest fires the flames parted to go round the churches. In one case it is said the fire not only burned up straw, wood, lumber, etc., around the church, but underneath it, without injuring the church. A traveling theatrical troupe played in a town in Texas the other day. Among the spectators were twenty-two Mexicans, armed with knives and pistols, nine Chinamen, twenty-seven Americans, and one full blooded Modoc Indian. There was a bigger "show" in the house than on the stage. It may be interesting to learn that a person six feet in height, standing on the lips of M. Bartholdi's head of "Liberty," can only just reach the eyebrow; that people can jump with ease in and out of the tip of the nose, and that the eyes measure six feet from corner to corner. The State treasurer of New Hamp shire requires those claiming bounties for killing woodohuoks to certify that none of the animals were killed on Sunday, else the claim will not be allowed. The ladies ought to feel happy. Every party this year has nominated a candidate who is in favor of woman suffrage. A lady in the presidential chair is one of the possibilities of the future. It is a wonder that the American hog has not been accused of causing the cholera in Europe. Ix olden times St John was a Bap tist, but now he is a Prohibitionist MARRIED.
