Vivid lightning, heavy thunder, tor rents of rain and high wind have varied the usual monotony of the weather in the past forty-eight hours. Smuggling as a fine art, has been car ried on between Victoria and Seattle for over a year. The Herald says it pays better than salting salmon. The British bark Win. H.

Burt Hedges and crew are at work on the big drift in the Chehalis river below Chehalis station. The report of the blasting can be heard for miles around. Building and other outdoor improve ments have almost ceased for the season. A large quantity of this work has been done in '84, and a larger quantity de ferred till more favorable weather. The Democratic headquarters, next to Barth & Meyers', are being fixed up in good shape, and the fact that they are f erninst the Blaine & Logan club room adds zest to the situation. There will be a meeting at 750 this evening. Mrs. Eaton and Miss Carnahan will have their long-expected fall opening of millinery goods to-day and to-morrow. The display will be something unusually fine, and our lady readers will hardly miss seeing the many novelties and fashion able articles on exhibition. The Astoria Ladies' Coffee Club have got everything in good running order and are now prepared for any emergency. The projectors and organizers of the club deserve considerable credit for their energy in placing the organization on a prompt and permanent footing. The Joseph Kellogg struck a snag at the mouth of the Cowlitz 3'esterday morning and sunk to the guards. She had a big load of agricultural imple ments, etc. The purser walked to Ka lama and got aboard the Astoria steam er. He thinks that at the next tide they can get her off all right and repair the hole. A. Pickle was the name of the German murdered on Cowlitz river recently. An Indian named Jim Yorke states that two men took his canoe away from him about two weeks before, and it is sup posed these men were the murderers,who followed up Pickle, who had $2,000 and a gold watch on his person and was look ing for land. There are indications that he made aTdesperate fight. About the only thing in the way of phenomenal production brought for in spection yesterday was a very large egg laid by a hen belonging to Ed Young, in the matter of hen fruit as well as other branches of domestic produce Clatsop county is pre-eminent; as a matter of record that hen belonging to J. O. Han thorn is still ahead, as yesterday was the 173rd day that she had produced a fine egg for breakfast. The Hawaiian bark Augusta, which went ashore on Puget sound some months back and was subsequently got ten off, was recently sold at Port Town send by the United States marshal for $3,500. The tugs which took her off claimed 5,000 salvage, but the case be ing brought np fa court the tugs were awarded what the judge considered fair in the premises, which was considerably below the figure claimed. A novel idea is that of grading for a railroad through a forest with a crosscut saw, and laying the ties on th'e stumps. This has actually been done in Sonoma county, Cal. There the trees are sawed off and leveled,- and the ties are fastened on the stumps, two of which are huge redwoods standing side by side, and sawed off 75 feet from the ground. So firm is this support that cars loaded with heavy logs can pass over with perfect security. It is not generally known that in 1839 no less than 52miles of the pro jected roaa 01 me yuio iianroau com pany was laid on wooden piles which were from 7 to 28 feet long, and driven 40 feet apart in four rows. Jso tram, however, was ever run over this track. Several wooden track railways, on the other hand, are operated in the United States and Canada. One of these in the province of Quebec is thirty miles long and is used in the transportation of tim ber. The rails are of maple, and trains are said to run over them with remark able smoothness at the rate of twenty five milesanhour. Another wooden track railway more than fifteen miles long has been constructed on the gradings of the abandoned South Carolina Central rail road, in order to carry the products of turpentine distilleries to a market.

Ilow Several Democratic Statesmen Were Serlonsljr Bewildered. It takes a pretty mean man to pass a counterfeit half dollar, but the person who works a bogus newspaper off on guileless humanity is but littlo better than a bank cashier. The other day some one at tho Holton house took a copy of the Portland Xcws and pasted the headline of h morning contemporary over the title of The Noes. Tho work wap skillfully done, and to a careless person the paper appeared to bo tho neighboring contemporary, a pajx?r, by the way, of Democratic tendencies. There were quite a number of country Democrats in the city at the time, many of them having joined Republican clubs in order to get here at forty per cent off regular rates; these were especially rabid to absorb all tho Democratic ideas they could grab, and voraciously bit at the loaded paper, bait and all. The first unfortunate was an ex-police court judge from Astoria,who picked up the paper, gloated over its Old English font title and then started in on the tel egraph news. "Grand Ovation to Blaine." "Ha! ha! I like not that," ho muttered i he used that expression because he beard Mr. Barrett use it with marked effect the night before. Then he started in on the next column "Logan's Address." "Won der if this paper takes us for a lot of fools, or what ails it!" he angrily ex claimed, dropping it as though he thought it were a snake. It made him feel homesick to dig up so much treach ery, and he borrowed a piece of string and a fish hook of the bar-keeper and went down on to Ash street dock to com mune with nature and catch suckers. An Astoria man always likes to go fishing when he is lonesome or gets discouraged itcome natural to him. As soon as the ex-judge had laid the papar down, a Salem deacon who had been waiting his turn, picked it np hungrily. He was a violent Democrat from away-back, and wanted to see if Brother Beecher's light still held out. It is not known what item he read, but he laid the paper down wearily and told tho clerk it made his back ache to see his Democratic brethren make such consum mate asses of themselves, and then he went down to the Occidental and watched some boys play pin-pool, because he felt bad. After that, n farmer from Roseburg took the paper up and read a tariff "lead er" that made him shiver, so he had to borrow an overcoat and take a dose of quinine. A groceryman from Eugene was nearly frantic after reading the paper because he had bet $50 on Cleveland with a drummer who was going np to Spokane Falls and Missoula, and he was afraid he might not see him again before election. By this time the Democrats had got so nervous they could not go by the table where the paper lay without shying, and when one of the staunchest of them all picked it up the rest went out and stood on tho sidewalk, because they knew it would shock him. No ono knows what he said, but some say the air looked blue as far down as Third street. Had any one connected with tho contemporary been unfortunate enough to pass the Holton house that forenoon, it is safe to assume he would have had some difficulty in keep ing ahead of the enthusiastic procession that would have followed him a proces sion with more Democratic clubs in it than are at present suspected. Portland News, 29th. DOG SALMON IS GRAY'S HARBOR. Ed. News: Nearly every one has no doubt heard of dog salmon. These fish seem to be master of all other species, and in my belief are increasing, and are rapidly destroying the silverside salmon. I will try and give a description of them, and how they destroy tho eggs of other salmon. The first to come and go in tho fall run are the large black salmon, that is they become blaok after getting into fresh water, for in salt water the meat iB red, with a bright skin, and they are a fine looking fish.. Next come the silver sides. When in salt water the meat of this fish is red and the skin shines like silver, but soon after they get into fresh water the outside becomes red and the meat white. Tho female goes up the rivers and passes over fifty or more rif fles or bars before shofindsa place to suit, but when she does she apparently takes a claim of about ten feet square, and unless driven away or killed, will lay all of her eggs in that space. When these fish are about at their best then comes the dog salmon, with teeth an inch long, striped like a zebra, to drive the others off the spawning grounds and take charge themselves. In this way a great many fish lose their spawn before they find a suitable place, and tho eggs that are already laid are either broken or covered np by the dog salmon in their spawning. This is why salmon trout are so plentiful this time of the year; they feed on the salmon eegs, and in their raid for eggs are frequently gobbled np by the salmon themselves, often swallowing considerable gravel in their eagerness after the eges and attempt to get away from the older fish. In my opinion the dog salmon constitute about a third of the fall run. H. G. Makes It Interesting. The existence of holes in the streets and the opportunities offered by a politi cal campaign, makes the experience of Peekskill interesting. An eastern ex change says: "In his decision in the case of a Peekskill man who, having fallen into a hole in the sidewalk while drunk and injured himself, claimed $2,500 dam ages, Judce Barnard of the supreme court, to which the case was appealed, laid down an important principle. 'I don't think, he said, 'a man is guilty of contributorv neclicrence if he frets drunk and falls into a hole. A man wants a good street to walk in 11 he does get drunk.' The fact is, the more he is riven to drink ing the better the sidewalk he require?. A city which does not observe this truth, should, of course, be made to suffer for its inexcusable negligence.

STATE ASD TERRITORIAL SEWS. The Orcgonian has cut down its dis patches. Bldckleg is again raging among the cattle in Grant county. An $85,000 fire almost annihilated Rathdrum, Idaho, last Saturday. Jos. S. Smith, an Oregon pioneer, and the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in 18S2. died in Portland last Saturday, aged 60 years. It is confidently expected that unless the rain or some other unforeseen ca lamity should happen, the track will be laid from Taqnina to Corvallis by Octo ber 15th. The boom across the Nasel river, which has been used with indifferent degrees of success during the past yeor.is about to be removed to a point further down tho river, just above the landing. It is rumored, says the Oregonian, that the Esmond hotel building will be re built by the insurance companies, it be ing possible at the present reduced rates of material and labor to build much more cheaply than the hotel was originally built. It is scarcely probable, however, that the rumor will bo verified, as the site is not considered suitable for a hotel on account of its proximity to the river and consequent annoyance to guests from steamboat whistles. Harvesting is fully under wav again, says a Polk county paper, and the grain is found to ba considerably damaged. The wheat in shocks is found to pe grown on the outside of the shocks. If tho farmers would take pains to separate tho grown from that which is not, and thresh separately, they would in that manner secure a great amount of merchantable wheat; otherwise it will all be unsalable. The standing grain has grown some in the bead, but apparently not as bad as that in the shock. The red chaff wheat is said to have stood the rain without in jury. Oysters are arriving at Portland from Shoalwater bay in large quantities and are now in very- good condition. The transplanted Eastern oysters from Cali fornia, both in boxes and shelled in tins, are plenty, and have driven the shelled Eastern out of the market, being much fresher. There are also some Samish bay oysters, which are probably raised from seed oysters imported from the East. They are larger than the Shoal water bay oysters, but not so large as tho Eastern. Visitors from the East generally concede the fact which has long been claimed by many here, that our native oysters far exceed in delicacy of flavor the overgrown, bivalves of the Atlantic coast. As one oyster sharp re marked, the little oysters are to the big ones as a snipe is to a turkey. The ''Mormon business" alluded to in tho Journal a few weeks ago, with head quarters at Willapah Citj', has at last culminated in an arrest, a mob, and con siderable excitement. The facts in the case, as nearly as can be ascertained at present, are as follews: Several months ago, Ed. Soule, a former resident of Wil lapah City, but then living at Hwaco, separated from Ins wife, who returned to her home on the Willapah, while Soule consoled himself with a woman named Hum is ton, who had separated from her husband,and thus matters glided smooth ly along until some three weeks agowhen it seems'Edwin conceived a strong desire to once more gaze upon his old love, and as he could not bring himself to part with his new love, the twain journeyed to Willapah City in company, where they were met by a delegation of citizens, who labored to convince him thai the climate of that locality was much warmer than he was accustomed to, and would be very unhealthy for him, and succeeded so far that he promised to leave on the following Sunday. This, however, he failed to do, but instead established him self snugly where he could at will bask in the smiles of either of his loved and loving ones. As this state of affairs did not quite come up to the citizens' ideas of propriety, on last Tuesday a warrant was sworn trat against him for open adultery, and he was arrested and brought to the Landing, and placed un der guard. The next day was consumed in procuring witnesses. About 3 o'clock on the following morning the guard was overpowered by a masked and armed mob, the prisoner was taken from them, and tarred and feathered, after which ho was returned to the custody of tho con stable, who on Thursday brought him to South Bend to undergo preliminary ex amination; but on his own affidavit and the testimony of George G. Scott that he could not get justice at that place, ho was granted a change of venue to Oyster ville, where the trial will take place be fore Judge Griswold on October 4, 1884. He had built a house some distance back in the woods, to which he had moved No 1 with her children, while be resided with No. 2 in more commodioas quarters. Both women remain true to the object of their mutnal affections, and their devo tion to him and his cause is affecting in the extreme. SALMON. There is a good demand for salmon in car-load lots for shipment east, but wo have no large transactions to report. Consignments to England from the Co lumbia river this season has killed Eng lish demand, and there is little prospect of a change in the situation for some months. There appears to be a better feeling in the market, but we cannot re port an advance. Outside packs have gone into consumption freely of lato. The fall packed Sacramento river fish has all been placed. Operations on that river has been closed for the season. The pack was extremely light. As evidence of tho movement of low-priced fish, we may mention that one large lot which has been held in storo here for some time, has been placed during the week at prices ranging from $L05$L10, delivered at eastern points. The quality was about the same as the fall packed Sacramento river fish. Columbia river salmon has been sold during the week as low as $1.02 per dozen, delivered in San Fran cisco; but this is scarcely to bo taken as indication of the market. The market seems to bo $1.05 $L10, on the river, and special brands are held above these figures. Cal. Grocer. Tho rlfiTifThtflr nf Mr. .Tmtipjj "R Hatcher, of Clair View, Inverell, N. S.

Hendricks, in a publio speech at North Vernon, Ind., said: "General Butler is coming over here, and you must lookout for your spoons." Gen. Butler did go over there, and a short time afterward he made a speech at the same place, in which he said: "There are two kinds of lies in this world. Thero is tho bold, manly, out-and-out lie, that somehow makes U3 respect the man that utters it, because he has courage; the other one the mean, covert, insinuated lie, uttered by a man that dare not say it, and yet wants to. It is that kind of a lio that was told at North Vernon. Ev ery creature of earth judges according to the standard which he has, which lias his own capacity, his own sense of pro priety or his own prowess. The fly that lights on the dome of St. Paul's looks around him to the distance of eight feet, the extent of his vision, and thinks its a fair, sightly piece of work. The pig that feeds out of the trough thinks it a very excellent piece of architecture; that is the best he can do with his in stincts, and that is as much as he can un derstand. He does not understand the mansion at the back of whose barn his trough is at all. Every man, therefore, judges every other man by himself, and whoever believes that I, a major-general of the United States, with life and death 'at my fingers' ends, exercising that un limited and despotic power given me by the war, went around, picking up spoons, knows that he would have done so if he had been in my place. That is his con ception of the office of a major-general. That is his idea of what a man should do. and of what he would do if he had tho courage to go where he could do it, as I have. For the first time in my life have I alluded to it, except last night at North Vernon. I hung the man who tore down the American flag on the spot where ho desecrated the emblem of his country's power, and last .night I pilloried tho Blackguard who struck at my character on the spot where he committed the Bucklcm's Arnica Salve.
