The Deep Sea Fishing company is now about to incorporate, with a capital stock of $15,000. It having been demonstrated that food fish are to be had in abun dance, but two things are now requisite to make the project a success: a schoon er large enongh for the adventure, and a market for the fish. Mrs. Eaton has returned from San Francisco and on Tuesday the 30th inst., and "Wednesday, October "1st, Mesdamcs Eaton and Carnahan will havo a grand fall opening of millinery and ladies' wear. The latest styles and tints, the newest modes and fashions, the freshest fabrics and most exquisite designs will on those days be offered for the inspection of the ladies of Astoria. A specialty will bo the beautiful display of novelties and fancy articles, such as have hitherto been purchased abroad, but can now be se lected from the abundant stock that will be opened at their establishment on those days. A judicial farce was enacted in the state circuit court at Portland last Fri day. Judge Smith sentenced Frank Fnsbie, the bank thief, to one year in the penitentiary. Frisbie stole a large amount of money from his employers, and skipped to New York with his wife, where ne was arrested, brought back, tried and found guilty. Had lie tried to steal $3, as did O. C. Perry, he would have got three years, as Perry did, but having succeeded in stealing a thousand times that amount, he becomes high toned, and the judge almost apologizes as he tearfully gives him one year. This is putting a premium on dishonesty, and is to be noticed only to be condemned. The most notable curiosity brought to The Astobian office during the past week was a skate's nest. This nest was torn from the bottom of the sea, and is in it self a curiosity; it is formed like a boat, is of the size of a split cocoanut shell, and is made of some integumont about the color and consistency of morocco. A thin membrane on top protected the three eggs which it contained, and which were preserved intact. One of the eggs had just hatched out, and the young skate lies ready to be initiated into the ways and manners of life at the bottom of the ocean. The fish is about the size of a two-bit piece, but is an exact fac simile of the large skate that lay in front of Bergman & Berry's last Thursday. PERSONAL MENTION.

Hunt for the Homters of the Deep Throwing the Harpoon Ride On a Whale's Back. Philadelphia Times."! ''Ship a whale to Europe?' "That's what I'm a-tellin' ye." "A live Tvhale?", questioned the doubt er. "Yes," was tho reply, "as lively a whale as ever ye clapped your eye on.' Tho speaker was a fisherman of note of a very small town on tho Island of Bic, near the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and his statement that he was about to ship a whale to Europe had rather staggered his listener. "Why," he continued, "I've done it already, and it ain't likely I cant do it again. I kin ship anything, from a cod fish to a whale, and if they foller myor ders the goods'll git there ship-shape and lively, right side up with care. This is what I ship 'em in," said the fisherman, painting to a box about 20 feet by seven that had evidently just been put togeth er. "No, I ain't goin' to put n sail on it and beat over I kin beat that all holler. Bat come down along and I'll show you how the thing is done.' A few minutes later a pair of horses and a low set of wheels were brought out, .and by the aid of levers tho big box was mounted or pried upon them, and getting aboard with the fishermen the writer was soon lumbering down toward the sandy beach. "Don't git out," said tho fisherman, as the horses entered the water. 'Stay for the lauuehin'. she'll hold you and twenty more. The wheels were driven in until the box into which the writer had jumped floated clear off tho wheels, and the launch was successfully made. The craft might have been a running mate to Noah's ark, and was to receive ani mals much after the same fashion. There was a rope in the inside, to which was attached a rock, and this tho writer tossed out and so prevented a sail on the broad river. "Does she leak?" asked the fisherman anxiously, after he had turned the horses toward shore, and, upon receiving a neg ative, he added, "Wall, that's a blessin'. She ain't caulked, and I thought she might swell. Wait ! minute and I'Jl take ye off," and the team was driven ashore, while the writer patiently waited in the ark. The situation was rather novel than otherwise, and while wo were attempting to realize how the whale would feel box ed, the fisherman appeared in sight round a point and we were soon transferred to a boat, the box being taken in tow. HABPOOXING A WHITK WHA1.K. "Ye see that bay-like up yonder?" said the oarsman. "Wall, that's the greatest place for white whale ye ever heard of. They come in at high tide in reg'lar droves like, with porpoises and grampuses and swim around, feedin' like as not, then go out with the tide. The tide here falls about eighteen foot, more or less, and this bay's all bare at low water." Tho box was towed into the middle of the bay, where it was anchored to a stake. "As wo can't do anything till the tide goes down," said our companion, "spos in' we go out and tackle a whalo or so. Ever do any harpoonin' ?" ho asked, as he shipped the mast and shook out the little sail. "Wall, it's a good sport and I reckon I kin give ye a taste." The sheet was drawn aft, and catching tho brisk northeast wind the little craft laid over and bore away for tho middle of tho river, where quite a sea was running. "They like to come in with the tide, somehow,' said tho fisherman, "and when there's a west wind that works up a bic sea when the tide's against the sen they seem to line it all the more, and keep a rollin' in and out as long as it lasts. There's one now," pointing to a white ob ject that appeared for a moment glisten ing in tho sun and from which camo a puff. "I guess we're goin' to strike 'em good." The mast was now unshipped, the sail furled and the boat propelled by the oars man, who sat aft, while tho writer took his position in the bow to become initiated in the science of white whale fishing. The harpoon was a slender pine pole, about fifteen feet long, litho and willowy, the spear being of steel and having two points with incurved barbs, that worked on p hinge and set into a notch, so that littlo resistance was offered when a victim was struck, the barbs only turning out when an attempt was made to withdraw the weapon. The spear fitted on to the pole by a socket, and was in turn made fast to a long lino that was carefully coiled up in a tub in tho bow. "Now, then," said the fisherman, as the amateur took the harpoon and assumed a professional attitude cribbed from the "Whaler's Own Book," "I kin put ye within ten foot, most likely, and you want to take him right abaft the blowholo if ye kin; that seems to settle 'em about as quick as anything." The writer had gained tho barraconda and pegged green turtles at fifteen or twenty feet on the Florida reef, and therefore felt encouraged. For a fourth of a mile tho little boat was propelled down stream, tossing and rolling in the heavy sea, when suddenly a great dome like white head appeared hardly fifteen feet away; a loud puff sounded, on the air and a faint spray for a second caught the sunshine. If there had been time the harpooner would have succumbed, probably to something akin to the buck' fever the symptoms were there but, rallying, the harpoon wps raised and, by good luck, took tho ghostly creature fafr in the back just as ho was diving to re turn. "Bully for ye!" shouted the rower, as a barrelful of water struck the harpooner full in the face, being tossed from the animal's tail. "You hit him good." A WET RIDE, This was evidently the case, as the line was whizzing out of the tub with light ning speed. "Ye'd better git aft afore tho end come3," said tho fisherman. "There's so much sea runnin' that ho might drown us if she's down at the head." The suggestion was acted upon, and none too soon, as the flying cord was quickly .exhausted and came taut with a jerk. The bow of tho boat was buried deeply in the water, then rose bravely on the waves and dashed off behind the stricken whale. "It ain't particularly dry," remarked the oarsman.-wiping the spray from his face and taking up the bailer. The boat was taking the waves as they came, then going through some and over others, hurling the spray ten feet in the air. all in all working up quite an excite ment and considerable anticipation, as every sea threatened to enguir the little craft, and once full the occupants and boat furniture would be speedily floated out and left behind. In going half a mile the boat was half full of water and it re quired but littto calculation to show that a, mne wouiu uriuj; luuin ia u uiimax. "We must nit alongside or let her go," said the old man, as the boat dashed into a larce sea. "Wo can't stand this. ' The line was in a notch, at the bow and, getting aft, both occupants took hold and hauled tho line in whenever an opportu nity offered. Every haul seemed to in crease tho speed of the flying animal and finally one was obliged to bail while the other took in the slack. For nearly an hour this bailing and hauling was kept up, the whale now slackening and then starting up with renewed energy, until finally It breached 200 feet from the boat and rolled over for several minutes, a sure sign that it was weakening. "If ye want to finish the business," said the whaler, "FH put ye alongside while ho'a rollin' and ye kin givo him the lance." . Tho volunteer accordinclv took the unlv weapon that was about a foot off tho end of a scytho lashed on to a bladeless oar, and, with a rush, the whale was boarded. A tremendous rush of water nearly swamped tho boat at tho outset, but the animal was alongside and it was but the work of a moment to send tho terrible instrument into the creature, that gavo a convulsive bound, cleared the boat and lay thrashing wildly just out of reach. "One clip of that tail would finish us,' said tho fiBherman, backing water to avoid tho rushes of tho animal. "Pvo seen 'em mash a boat just like paper, but you finished her, sure enough." Tho whalo was evidently dead, and, after putting another into its head, it was fastened astern and tho pull shore ward commenced. ox a whale's HACK. "We take the white whales shoot in sometimes," said the rower, "and the last one I took last season got a joke on me thut ain't quite wore off yet. We went out in a gang that day, some with rifles and some with harpoons, and I reckon there was ten bots (boats) all told, and right down by the month of the creek we struck a school of 'em, so big that there was nothing but heads a-poppin' up all around. When we got into tho lot the boys began a shootin' and strikin' and got so mixed up that wo didn't know where wo was for a while. My boy had my harpoon, and the only thing I got holt on was a lance, jest like this, and as I was standin in the bow a big white whale came up under me. I let drive and sunk the lance into him about two foot, and at the same moment one of the other boats struck us richt amidships. I lost my balance, and afore I knew it I was a-settm on that old whale s uacK, hangin' onto tho pole, and goin' along like greased lightnin'. The boys set up a yoll, and made way for me, and off I went. "Ye see," continued the speaker, "the water was only about four foot, and the critter couldn't dive, so I jest clung to it. First she struck in shore, and then skirt ed along the beach, a-snortin' and puffin' and beatin' the water with her tail so't vou could hear her clean across the bay. But she couldn't shako mo off. I jest clung to the handle, and let her rip, and pretty soon when we came to a -Hhoal place I beached her, or. she beached me. don't know which. Anyway, I reckon I'm tho first one that ever rode a whale in these diggin's." A BEAUrtFUL CHKATUEK. The boat was now in shore so that the whale grounded, and a beautiful creature it was a pure, creamy white, about 12 feet in length, with a graceful, rounded head, that seemed more disconnected from tho body than is general with whales, and it is said that the white whale is tho only one that can movo its head from sido to side at all. The side fins were small, the tail broad and richly pointed an organ of great power. Sci entifically, the white whale is the Beluga, and they are found in great numbers about tho Gulf of St. Lawrence, and further north. They attain a length of t wenty-three feet, and are valued for their hide, which is tanned into leather, and the oil from the blubber, tho latter being generally esteemed by workers in delicate machinery. The Indians eat the flesh and the Esquimaux use the bones, so that all in all the creature is quite useful. When we landed, the box that had been towed into the bay was high and dry bo side a great hole that had been excavated on a previous tide. The fisherman now obtained several assistants, and tho hole being made larger, the box was finally lowered into it so that it was almost on a level with tho surrounding bottom. A lid was put on by leather straps, but left open and the trap was ready. The little bay in which the pit was sunk had a nar row opening, and at high tido when the ebb was about commencing, a number of boats took a large, coarse seine and haul ed it across the opening.taking their places in front of it and sitting, with oars in hand, to frighten back tho whales should they venture down. It was a matter that required some pa tience, but gradually as the tide went out, the boilinc and breaking of the water and tho occasional view of a round head told that some whalo had been en trapped. As the water became lower and lower the commotion became greater, and finally tho forms of seven whales were fairly exposed, rushing about, running out of water in shoal spots, and making fierce breaks at the nets and boats, only to be driven back by yells, shouts and blows from the boats, until finally the water went down so that all the white beauties were stranded. Tho boats then moved in and, as expected, in the sunken box was one of the whales, about ten feet long. "Ye see the trick of it,' said our fish erman. "The box gits full of water and is always the deepest spot, and when the whales seo the wator a-goin' they go for deeper holes, if they can find them. So this one settled here, and here she is, all boxed." The box had been partly lined with sea weed so that the creature could not hurt itself, pnd presented a strange appear ance, the room being so limited that only an undulatory movement could be made with the tail, but showing what a power ful organ it was. The box was now packed with more seaweed, all the spaces being filled up around it, and, finally, the lid being closed and fastened, work was postponed until next tide, when the water was again in, and a good-sized sloop was anchored over the spot. A tackle was slung from a boom attached to rope han dles on the end of the box. The end was then put around the windlass, and the box and contents soon hoisted to tho sur face. Other bands were now placed about it, to prevent it from bursting open, and, as the water ran out, it was gradually hoisted on to tho deck of tho sloop, and placed amidships. The whale was now entirely out of water, lying in a bed of wet seaweed. SHIPPED ALIVE TO ENGLAND. "There ain't one person in a hundred," said the whaler, "that knows that a whale can live out of water. Now that feller won't have a swim for two weeks, or, more likely, three. The only thing they do is to dash a bucket of water over it about every hour or so and keep the seaweed wet, and I ain't no doubt but what he'd go a month all right. We take him from here to Quebec, that'll take two days, I reckon; then it goes on to a steamer that takes it to England. Two men go with it. They watch for four hours off and on and keep puttin' water on the seaweed. "Who is it for? I don't know exactly, but I know the man that pays tho money is takhV it over on a spec. Some of them aquariums offered $1,000 if he'd deliver the whale in the tank alive and it lived two months. So he's goin' to try it. Td take the chanoes myself if I had the money. It costs about $200 to de liver it. We sent ono to the Brighton Aquarium, England, and I heard tell it lived six months." The explanation of tho fact that whales can be so transported lies in the fact that they are warm-blooded mammals, the same as cows, nursing their young, and do not breathe water, but air, taking enough at every blow to last half an hour or so, only requiring water to moist en tho parts and as a medium in which to move and for which they are adapted, so that with care a whale can be kept out of water some time. If the experi ment was carefully made they, perhaps, could be forced to give up the "water and live as does the manatee, so at least the evolutionists think. Mr. Horace E. Hopkins, of the News and National democrat, Jef fersonville, Indiana, writes, that he suffered excruciating pain in the re gion of his heart and in his back.

An exchange thinks "the boy' and by this term it includes boys in tho aggre gate ought to feel highly complimented by the universal interest manifested in his future. If, it says, anybody has failed to ask, "What shall we do with our boys?" the failure is not conspicuous. There seems to be n sort of growing con cern lest the boys shall not bo sent out to engage in the battle of life urmed to the teeth, so to speak. Looking back through tho stray leaves of journalism for fifty years, we find no particular concern man ifested as regards the boys until within tho last dozen years. Perhaps tho boys hewed out their own destiuies in the other days of which we speak. When we come to think of it, it is only necessary to look around us and mark the quality of the mass of middle-aged men to ascertain what was done for, with, and by the boys of half a century ago. It is a little singu lar that nobody has traced the man of to-day back to the boy of yesterday. There he stands, not only as one who has solved tho problem of himself, but as ono of the millions who have assisted in making this tho most notablo ago in historic time. For this is a remarkable age, and the boys of fifty years ago and later have made it remarkable. Some of them learned trades, some became inventors and discoverers of new truths, and some studied how be3t to an- ply what was already known to the solu tion of tho problem of human destiny. On the other hand, a good many of the boys of fifty years ago and later either died young, perished in buttle or in hos pitals, or fell into evil courses, and land ed in tho various penitentiaries. Some but not many became subjects for tho gallows, and ended their shameful careers there. More of them by loose manage ments in our courts escaped justice, and enjoy a species of heroism .among the baser sort. The boy of these days should take a serious survey of the boys of fifty years ago. He will in that way learn that tho boys of that age were compelled to hew out their own careers: and that enough of them did it, and did it well, to mako this age one of tho most remarkable of any on record. Not every boy then learned a trade. But every boy is now asked to learn a trade, nut any boy may well have some trade in reserve, because he cannot be sure that a trado will not one day stand like a faithful sentinel between him and an ill-spent life. It is complained of tho boys of to-day that they are too proud to work. That ought to be a libol on the boys. Tho world is not now a howling wilderness, simply because the boys of tho past were not too proud to work. Professional life has its fascinations, but it has also its vexations. A clever boy may not always mako a clever lawyer, a skiUful doctor, or an effective preacher. He cleverness may relate to skilled-labor with his hands, or to invention, or to in telligent farming. At all events, a suc cessful tradesman, farmer, carpenter, or machinist, is fully equal to the success ful professional man in the development of a nation. Tho future of the boy de- Sends upon the boy himself, mainly, 'obody can do more for him than to put the tools with which successful lives are fashioned into his hand's and teach him their power. Nobody can wield the tools for him any more than anybody can walk for him, eat for him, or sleep for him. Ho will be at the last what he makes of himself. Somebody may take credit for his making, perhaps; but some body will take. credit for what ho has not done in that case. When ono man says of another, "I made him," examine the work. If it be good, be sure that the making was not let out by the job to anybody. Men make themselves hu manly speaking and are not mado by other men. Other men havo an influence for good or evil upon tho lives around them, but the responsibility is with every man by himself at last. itiichlcu's Arnica Salve.
