Either brand are sure to trait you. Try 'em. The Messrs. Chabot are expending largely of time and money in their ex periments on cranberry culture near II waco. This is the third year of opera tions, and the project is viewed with interest by many. Ex-Senator Mitchell has been lying very ill at the Ebbitt House in Washing ton, and it was thought at one time his illness a case of blood-poisoning from on ulcerated tooth would prove fatal. At last accounts he was considerably better. From the way the subscriptions to tho Daily and Wehklt have been coming in lately it would seem that every one in western Oregon is determined to read Tee Astobiih. It has the largest circu lation of any newspaper published on the Columbia river. Bob Ingersoll will lecture in Occidental hall next Thursday evening. Sale of seats begins at the New York Novelty store this morning. Not sinoe Beecher has there been an attraction of such magnitude, and those who want to hear Robert should get their seats to-day. In the circuit court yesterday Ed Al derdyoe was sentenced to fifty days in the county jaiL Dan Moran pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eighteen months in the penitentiary. The cases of Stool? and Tustin, charged with lar ceny, occupied the greater portion of the day. There is now sufficient money in the treasury of the I. S. B. and Gray's Har bor Railroad Co., to make the building of that road an assured fact. The pre liminary surveys have been made, the es timates are in, and the intention is to haTe the road in running order by June 1st. 1885. What might have been a serious fire at 4:20 yesterday was hapily averted. Some tMarks from Brown &McCabes engine on Gray's dock lodged on the roof of the warehouse, but were put out at once. An alarm was sounded and the boys given an impromptu drill not on the regular even ing programme. The Oregonian instances a clever idea. 'Twas said that the 24-hour system would never be introduced, because the present construction of millions of clocks and watches would thus be rendered useless. The project is to paste the numerals from 13 to 24 in side the circle of the dial from 1 to 12. Walter L. Robb received a telegram from 'Santa Barbara, Cal., last evening with the sad news of the death of T. E. Woodfield, of this place, at 630 yesterday afternoon. Mr. Woodfield was well known in this city; last season was super intendent of the Point Adams Packing Co., and last spring went to southern Cal ifornia in hopes that that climate would mitigate the consumption that preyed upon 'him. He was about 30 years of age and a member of Aster Lodge No. 6, K.of-P. At a meeting called for the purpose last evening the organization known as "The Astoria Printing and Publishing Com pany" went out of existence. By a vote of 7o to 10 it waB decided to disincor porate; each stockholder gets $5 of the 122 that the share cost. The rest goes for experience. There were 126 shares, on whioh $2,772 had been collected. Of thia amount 92.142 does not nnnsflr: tho remaining $630 goes as a pro rata of $5 each, -among the shareholders.

The Crescent City In Suramer-IIer Quaint- m and Pecollarltlcs Progress or the World's Exposition. SPECIAL COBUKbr-OSDENCK. New Orleans, August C, 1834. The Crescent City is different from any other city in tho "Union. Not only has it a cosmopolitan population, but it has certain peculiarities that servo to make it a place of interest to the tourist. The quaint old buildings in the French quarter, the easy-going life of the people, their joyous nature and love of gaiety, the influx of new life and business meth ods on one hand, the slow disappearance of men great in the commercial world thirty or forty years ago on the other, all serve as matter to reflect upon; and few strangers can remain here, even for a brief time, without being struck by the contrasts that they discover here and there as they walk about the charming old city. There are incidents of life, bits of scenery, and queer characters that even our novelist, Mr. Cable, has not painted. On every hand there are nooks that one likes to stand and admire, places where the sun seems to get in in order to sleep away the day. ,Here the gardens with prolific fig trees that never fail to yield their lusciou? fruit, flowers in gor geous tints and tender tropical plants that fear the cold. The oranges are as green as green can be, but when the exposition visitors begin to arrive in the month of December, the golden fruit, ripe and plentiful, will beautify thousands of the overgreen trees. Tho banana, too, is no stranger tree here, it stands beside many a garden wall, stretching its broad, long leaves from the ground, seemingly, far above the orange and the fig. By day it is a thing of beauty, it looks so fresh, so green, and cool; at'night, when the nim ble fingers of the breezes toy with its un folded leaves, it emits a rustling sound strange and weird, as if winged spirits were flitting through tho air. Once in a while one may see a palm tree but it is by no means a common object, even in the most costly gardens. Those who come hero from tho far-away north, find themselves in a recion whera to them u new climatio law prevails, in a laud of sunshine where tho fruits of the tropics flourish, and where roses bloom the year round in tho open air. The population appears odd and unlike that of any other citv. for it is made uo of Americans, French, English, Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Chinamen, Africans, and in short every nation and tribal di vision of the earth seems to have sent somo of its members hither, as if com pelled to contribute to a great ethnologi cal museum. Our authors, writers and thinkers have found a mine of literary ore in Louisiana and although several native literateurs have tried to "squat" on certain fields, tho fact remains patent to nil observers that tho land is still rich in incidents and old time traditions that have never been told in book or in song. The old city boasts of numerous authors, male and female, but unfortunately for society they are as shy and. modest as thought-makers usually are. But the all absorbing topic of the hour is the exposition. Tho fact that tho sea son is so far advanced that it is now im possible to have an epidemic of yellow fever, adds much to the bright prospects of the groat enterprise. The exposition management has shown its wisdom by not putting all its money into buildings that must be taken down at the end of a year. Tho main building is not built of solid masonry, but is enor mously strong and vast. It is tho largest building ever erected in tho world, cover ing thirty-three acres of ground. From the wide, fino gallery that runs around the four sides of the building ono may get a good idea of the immense area of tho interior. The gallery without doubt, will be a favorite place for visitors to see the grand panorama of all nations, and it will also bo a favorite with exhibitors who desire a good location for their goods. From this point ono may look across to tho machinery department where lines of shafting over a quarter of a mile long may be seen driving all sorts of labor-Baving machinery. Swarms of workmen are now busy putting down the lower floor, while others upon tho roof are placing the skylights that hnvo been on hand for some time. The painters are at work on the underside of Horti cultural Hall, and it is safe to say that the structure will be completed in ten days. The management has already no tified out-lying countries to send for ward their exhibits, that goods will be received after the first of August. The government building will be another structure of great size. Owing to the great value of some of the paintings and statuary to be brought from, abroad, the building committee has wisely de cided to erect the art building entirely of iron. The building being planned by the Mexican Republic, is to be a beautiful specimen of architecture, and that government will spend 200,000 upon the undertaking. Atlanta, Galveston and other cities will have buildings erected for their own exhibits. Months ago more space had been applied for than was in use at tho Philadelphia Centennial, and still let ters pour into the office of the Exposition asking for space or additional space. Colorado offers to send fifty or one hundred car loads of minorals, rep resenting all portions of the state, if room can be provided for such an exten sive exhibit. The most astonishing cir cumstance connected with the prepara tions for the great show is the enthusiasm displayed by the young states and terri tories. The Commissioners from those regions come here from time to time, find out what their rivals are about and return home ready to raise themselves out of call, so to speak. Mr. E. C. Wood, commissioner of Mexr ico, writes to the Exposition Manage ment that the reports from tho different states indicate that the public expecta tion will be fully met by the character and extent of Mexico's display. If I were to tell you he says, of some of the intended displays, I am afraid you would conclude that my imagination had run away with me, En passant, it may be re marked, that the stories of Professor Langhammer of New Mexico, and Gen eral Sickles of Colorado, might impress ono with the thought that their imagin ations had run away with them. Their statements are credible enough till they begin to discuss about the amazing size of some of the vegetables they mean to bring to the World's Fair. At the present writing General Sickles claims the right of way around Professor Langhammer's sixty pound cabbage by reason of having a beet twelve feet long. When the returns are all in, it will probably be found that this cannot be beat. Girl Wanted To do housework for family of five. No washing. Apply at this office. Wedding Presents.

NO "TATTOO"' BCSDi'ESS THIS TIMK. Blaine Sbm an Indiana Xenspaper for Libel. Indianapolis, Aug. 14. On the 8th inst. tho Sentinel of this city contained an editorial charging that Blaine had se duced his present wifo in Kentucky and then fled to Maine, where, the young woman and her father following, he mar ried her at tho point of a shot-gun. This having reached Mr.Blaineho telegraphed Colonel Holloway of the Times that the statement was maliciously and infamous ly falso in every particular. Political slanders, he says, he pays no attention to, but this attacking the honor of his wife and children cannot be submitted to. Holloway was asked to secure the services of a lawyer at once and bring suit against the responsible publisher of the Sentinel. Colonel Holloway placed the matter in the hands of Senator Har rison's law firm, and papers are now in the course of preparation in accordance with Blaine's direction. Following is the text of Blaine's db patch to Colonel Holleway: Bab Habboe, Maine. Aug. 14. To Colonel R. Holloway I have this morning received the ntrocious libel of the Indianapolis Sentinel. It is utterly arid abominably false in every statement and every implication. Political slanders I do not stoop to notice, but this article assails the honor of my wife and chil dren. I desire that you, without an hour's delay, employ the proper attorney and have the responsible publisher of the Sen tinel sued for libel in the United States district court of Indiana. It is my only remedy. I am sure thRt honorable Demo crats, alike with honorable Republicans, will justify me in defending the honor of my family, if need be, by my life. Tnn COMPLAINT. Harrisom, Miller &. Elam, attorneys, in accordance with Blaine's directions, filed this evening in tho United States circuit court, suit acainst the Indianapolis Sen tinel company, and John C. Shoemaker, its president and business manager, who, it charges, directs and controls the pub lication of that paper. Tho document proceeds as follews: '"That on the 8th day of August, 1831, said defendants, wickedly intending to injure, defnmo and scandalize plaintiff, did maliciously print and publish, in the regular daily issue of said paper for that day, of and concern ing Dlaiutiff, a certain false, scandalous and defamatory article, in the words fol lowiu": Can Blaine afford it ? The campaign war against Cleveland is, to say tho least, indecent. Failing to find vulnerable points in his public record, his enemies have assaulted a supposed irregularity in his private conduct. They have dressed and redressed the affair un til tho actual facts of it aro but a small part of the furbelowed, frilled and puffed figure walking in tho Blaine Republican prints. This besmirching of private character is the stock in trade of the Blaine folks; it is all they have to offer against the Democratic candidate. But can James G. Blaine afford this plan of battle? If his flanks are so unprotected as they aro currently understood to be, is ho not provoking a scathing fire by permitting these assaults on Grover Cleveland The Democracy will hardly remain quiet on Blaine's inner life, when his supporters aro resorting to scandal mongenng against its candidates. The charges of seduction made upon Mr. Cleveland, and which are falso upon their very face, can, it appears, be turned on Blaine, and made to stick. There is hardly an intelligent man in the country who has not heard that James G. Blaine betrayed the girl whom he married at the muzzle of a shotgun. BLAINE 8EVERELT AHBAIONED. "The democratic press has had tho magnanimity not to put forth these re ports which must cause pain to the mem bers of Blaine's family. The republican Eapers have long known of them and ave allowed them to go undenied. If Mr. Blaine was scoundrel enough to be tray an innocent girl, if after despoiling her, he was craven enough to refuse her legal redress, by giving legitimacy to her child until o loaded shotgun stimulated his conscience, then there is a blast on his private character more foul if possi ble than the countless stains on his po litical record. His conduct discloses moral obliquity "rendering him unde serving of social confidence and an unfit man to be president. A candidate with such a record cannot afford to assails bis opponent. As between Cleveland and Blaine, what fair minded man can hesi tate to pronounce for the former, a clean er and purer man?' Plaintiff lays his damage at 30,000. This evening it is understood that to-morrow proceedings will be begun against Shoemaker and the author of the article, under Grubb's libel law, in the state courts. This will compel Mr. Blaine's attendance as a witness. Attorneys say the suit and criminal proceedings will be pushed with all possible dispatch. TRUE TO .NATURE.

The XanhTllte Student. The Nashville Jubilee Students ap peared for the first time in Astoria last evening and by their unequaled melodies won the plaudits of their audience. They have sung in the principal cities of the world and have charmed millions by their rendition of the songs of their own southern land. Finer singers exist; purer, clearer voices are heard on the lyric stage, but there is an indescribable pathos, sweetness and melody about the songs of these people that appeals most touchingly and most effectively to the sentiment and sensibi lities of those who hear them. To hear "Swine Low, Sweet Chariot," "Roll, Jordan, Roll." '-Swanee River," and "Dem Golden Slippers" is a genuine treat. There will be a matineo especially for ladies and children this afternoon, and tnere win oo a iareweu performance to night. There is a change of programme announced. "La Hueotte." Mr. F. E.
