The Spiritualist camp meeting at II waco closed Sunday at three o'clock, thp management deeming it unadvisble to longer continue, the weather being un favorable.

They seemed to over hang the dark surface of the river, and were viewed with interest by hundreds.

Charley FnUon and wife, of Astoria, Oregon, arrived in the city the first of the week. Nino years ago Charley left Pawnee for the Pacific coast, and his re turn is hailed with delight by many a true friend who knew him when but a boy. "We also rejoice in his prosperity, not only in the line of his profession, but as one of the leaders of the great Repub lican, party of Oregon. Paicncc XNcb.) Journal. It is curious, says an exchange, how few people know the benefit of fruit at break fast time. A saucer of berries, an orange or banana, pear or apple at 6 in the morn ing will make the sky look brighter Jind fill the world with sunshine, oven on cloudy days, and yet many people never thing of eating fruit in the morning. It may be, also, that a few green apples will make a brighter sky, but no one wants to look at the sky when doubled up with an inner consciousness of having eaten too much. Dr. Ambrose L. Fulton, an old Nebras ka boy, now located and doing a largo practice at Astoria,Oregon, made a pleas ing call at these headquarters yesterday.

A Probability of Appeal and Delar. From n private dispatch received last evening, it is considered probable that the claimants in the late case of Flavel et al. vs. the Queen of Ihc Pacific, will ap peal the case. What their grounds for appeal are is problematical. Had the award been excessive, or even large; hsd there been any appearance of collusion, or had the circumstances not been so clearly proven, the reasons for appeal might bo more apparent. That on a value of over 700,000, but 64,000 was allowed, leads to the supposition that an other reason lies at the bottom of the move for a rehearing.. By Judge Deady's decision the steam ship owners are to pay to Aslorians for the saving of the Queen the sum of $04, 000. Times are tight and money is scarce. The delay in paying that money is worth 5so,uuu a year, viewed as a com mercial transaction, it is worth 6,000 a year to the steamship owners to delay the payment of the award. In the event of an appeal, the case would go to the United btates circuit court. This court consists of Judges Deady and Sawyer and Associate Justice Miller. It is seldom that Justice Miller gets here, so that should it come up be fore the first two and a difference of opinion come up, Judge Sawyer's decision would constitute a "majority" over Deady's decision. However, should the matter come up, it is probable that it would bo argued before a full bench. In case of an appeal and a reversal of Judge Deady's decree the matter would undoubtedly be taken to the United States supreme court. The fact that it would there take its place at the bottom of the calendar and the court is already behind with its business three years, does not afford much satisfaction to those who would just ns soon handle their por tion of the award this winter. However, in nay event, it is not at all probable that the amount of the award will be dimin ished. The hope of delay in the payment of that sum seems to constitute the chief hope of the appellants. It is an open secret that before Judge Dead delivered his decision he read it to Justices Field and Miller, of the United States supreme court, who were then in Portland, and they were in accord with him, of course in an unofficial way, as to the soundness of the views therein ex pressed and the amount of the award. PKJtM INEXTLY OHOAMZED. The Astoria Protective Rod and Gun Association met at T. S. Jewett's offico last night and perfected their organiza tion. Jos. Suprenant, the corresponding secretary, will proceed to communicate with Seth Green. Prof. Baird, and others regarding the placing of eastern fishes in the lakes and streams of Clatsop county, and the society will devote itself to active work. There is good reason for the club's existence and much resultant good will ensue. There are now twenty-five names on the rolls and they are all "active" members. The next move will be to buy or lease a pieco of ground in a good loca tion, probably in the "vicinity of Woody island, build a house and fit it up as a rendezvous for the club. It is also their intention to note any violation of the game laws. This is in the interest of the whole community and their action will be n protection of some of our best in terests. Wanton and untimely slaughter of game can have but one result the ex termination of fur, fin and feather. This the club proposes to check. Chcaji Lirlap. One consolation belongs to tho poor man this year; that is, if money is hard to get, it goes further, or less money is required to secure tho same results. To illustrate: House rent has lessened. A house which last year brought 40 a month, can this year be got for 30; a 25 house last year is this year n 20 house, and a 15 houso of 1883 is a $10 or 12 house in 188 L It is the same in trade. Apples and pears sold a year ago for double what they bring now, and beef and mutton one-half more. Pota toes are lower this year; also flour, hay, coal, dry goods and almost everything else. A family can live better now on 75 a month than they could a year ago on 100. Prices are still falling, and, before tho year is out, it may yet be that T0 will bo as good as 100 was this time last year. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. THE BIBULOUS BIVALVE.

HOW THE BLAIXE SLASDEB ORIGINATED. John Randall, one of the stanchest Democrats in Bosque county, Texas, living at Meridian, was a pupil in tho college at Georgetown, Ky., when James G. Blaine taught there. Ho was cas ually overheard recently to say he knew the charges against Blaine to bo untrue, and this fact coming to the knowledge of a newspaper reporter he was inter viewed. Kendall says Prof. Johnston was principal of tho school, and that Blaine and Miss Stanwoodwere teachers, Blaine in the male school and Miss Stan- wood in the female school. Johnston bo- came embarrassed financially, and the directors found iault with the manage ment, several acrimonious discussions arising between Johnston and one of the directors, who is now dead. On one oc casion this director came to the school and after words with Johnston who was a much older and physically weaker man than the director attacked him, when Blaine, who heard tho quarrel, came into the school room, and, upbraiding the di rector for his cowardice, administered a sound thrashing, driving him from tho building. , , The director went off, but returned shortly with a double-barreled shot-gun, avowing that he would kill young Blaine. Several pupils saw him coming, and no tified Blaine, who had to run around the building and in and out of the rooms to avoid being shot, when three of the boys got behind the director, disarmed him, and with the aid of several others gave the director a second thrashing. Randall says Blaine's attentions to Miss Stanwood were open and honorable, and that the pupils of both knew the af fection existed, the boys teasing Blaine about it, and that it was known for weeks beforehand .that they were to bo mar ried. No breath of scandal bad been heard. The scholars all understood that when the session was over the coup le would be married, and as it had been determined to end the session on the day of the shotgun episode, on the afternoon of the same day James G. Blaine and Miss Stanwood were quietly married, bade good bye to their scholars and went North. , . A worthless fellow named Hawkins saw the shotgun business and heard of the marriage, so put tho two together, telling a cock and bull story of how Miss Stanwood's father had mado Blaine marry his daughter. Randall states farther that he knows that Mr. Stanwood had been dead over three years before the time of this wo man's marriage. Some of the above facts came to the knowledge of Nim Norton, of Dallas, a son of Hon. A. B. Norton, and knowing that J. H. Johnston, clerk for tho con tractor erecting the federal building at Dallas, was a son of Prof. Johnston, and was in a position to know the facts, went to him for them but Johnston, not wish ing to be a witness in the Indianapolis libel suit, did not have anything to say, not wanting the public to know that ho knew of tho circumstances. Young Nor ton is now in Houston, a delegate to the State Republican convention, and in formed Deputy United States Marshal A. N. Woody that on his return he would visit Randall and get his statement in full. Randall, who is a Democrat and op posed to Blaine, says that the charge made by the Sentinel is infamously false. When the marriage ceremony took place the young girls brought flowers for Miss Stanwood's hair and dress and the boys gave the bridal party a farewell cheer when they bid good-by to Kentucky. Tho 6hotgun had nothing to do with tho wedding, and Hawkins' own conclusions of what he knew nothing about formed tho basis for the whole story. BALM FOR THE BACHELOR.
