ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY OCTOBER 21, 1881
Belva Locktood expects to poll
a large vote in Vermont It will be
remembered that state is a great place
for maple sugar and taffy.
The Nile expedition and the Irish
situation are causing the British cab
inet a good deal of anxiety. The ex
pense of the Nile expedition is said
to be about $150,000 per day.
Posthastes General Howe
thought the reduction from three
cent postage to two would reduce the
revenue $7,000,000. Mr. Hazen, the
third assistant postmaster general,
reckoned the deficit at about $2,000,
000, and came within a quarter of a
million dollars.
The export of dressed meats from
New York is a prominent feature of
commerce, and week before last 9,294
quarters of beef were shipped, and
also 1,081 carcasses of mutton, all of
which are preserved by the refriger
ators with which steamers are so
commonly provided.
The St. James' Gazette says Eng
land is approaching a crisis in India,
in comparison with which the Sepoy
rebellion of 1857 will be common
place. The Gazette promises to show
in as bad a light as the crimes of War
ren Hastings, the oppression of the
natives by taxing fanners.
The largest piece of glass ever
made in the United States, it is said,
is sent by an Indiana manufacturer
to the southern exposition at New
Orleans. It is fifteen feet long and
eleven and half wide, and the Boston
Post says it has probably more pro
tection to the square foot than any
other manufactured article that will
be shown there.
General Chinese Gordon is an
extremely able man. He not only
fights the rebels; but he also collects
the taxes. What a treasurer of a
campaign committee he would make!
He could have captured Ohio single
handed, and bring Indiana to terms
with one fell scoop. When Gordon
gets through with the Soudan he will
find a place ready for him in America.
He is a born boss.
It has occurred to many of the wri
ters who are struggling with .the
great questions of the day to suggest
that, in view of England's sending
her paupers to the United States, our
government might solve the Indian
question by shipping the troublesome
and expensive red men to London and
Liverpool, beginning with General
Crook s captured Chiracahuas. "Free
trade in paupers implies reciprocity,"
is one way of putting it.
On Sunday, October 5, 18G2, the
New York Herald contained nine
teen columns and three-quarters of
advertisements at thirty cents a line,
and October 5, 1884, it contained one
hundred and six and three-quarter
columns of advertisements at forty
five cents a line. This is a notable
growth, far greater proportionately
for the twenty-two since 1862 than the
Herald had made to that date from
the time it was started.
The New York Evening Post says
that it is now discovered that it is pos
sible to telegraph from a moving
train and to receive messages on the
train from the adjoining wires. By
this arrangement many conveniences
would be, of course, open to passen
gers, but beyond that a great safe
guard against collisions could be
secured. Every train could report
its position at fixed intervals; train
men could arrange with each other
where to pass, and could inform each
other of their respective where
abouts. With it established, col
lisions should cease to be heard of.
The Cincinnati Gazette says that
its foreman forty-eight years ago pre
sented a young lady, who was married
at seven o'clock in the eveninc. with
a copy of that paper for the following
day containing her marriage notice.
In those days the paper was printed
at five o'clock p. m. the evening be
fore. In 1842 a young man applied
for a position as city reporter, and
was told that the Gazette had no
room for local news. It never has
had very much. This reminds the
Gazette of a reporter who many years
ago asked the editor of the Boston
Journal if it wouldn't be well for
him to go out and report Daniel
Webster, who was to make a SDeech
at a town a few miles from Boston.
The editor thought not, 'because."
he said, "some one will send us an
account in a day or two."
. .
The steamship Kairos cleared re
cently at the custom house, New Or
leans, and proceeded to sea under cir
cumstances that challenge the atten
tion of the public. The ship was
loaded with great expedition in order
to fulfill contracts for shipments in
September. The loading was accom
plished in thirty working hours, in
cluding frequent delays caused by the
unfavorable weather on Thursday
and Friday. In the brief time men
tioned there was placed on the Kairos
92,544 bushels of wheat and 52,026
bushels of rye, making a total of 144,
570 bushels of grain. Of this grand
total; 98,778 bushels were in bulk and
45,792 bushels -were in 19,000 sacks.
It is believed this is the largest cargo
of grain that was ever cleared from
mi American- port; at any rate it is
m
the largest ever cleared from the port
of New Orleans. The whole made a
cargo of 3,800 tons.
One of the most interesting feat
ures of the World's Industrial Expo
sition at New Orleans will be the
department devoted to an exposition
of the work and progress of the col
ored race. The identification of the
colored race with the material pro
gress and the development of the
great natural resources of the south
and the influence of so large a por
tion of her population upon her pros
perity, renders this demonstration of
her educational and industrial pro
gress and advancement eminently ap
propriate. This unique exhibition.
for its novelty, will possess a peculiar
interest, especially to European and
northern visitors. There are many
quaint and ingenious speoimens of
handiwork for which the colored
race are noted. Some of them are
very expert mechanics. Their shuck
horse-collars, baskets, and split-bottom
ohairs, rolls of perique tobacco,
gourd banjos, eta. will constif-ntn th
native curiosof the cotton country.
Capt. Bedford Pim, now in Amer
ica, has been addressing the associa
tion of United States pilots on
matters pertaining to their calling,
and referring to the dangers of the
sea, he says. "In England we pos
sess in round numbers a little under
20,000 vessels, manned 'by 200,000
men exclusive of officers. We have
casualitie3 amounting annually to
nearly 3,000 ships, and at least an
equal number of men are drowned
every year. Why is this? Our ships
and here I allude especially to
steamers are mere gas pipes. Does
any man in this room look with any
thing but contempt upon a vessel ten
times her beam in length? Any sail
or knows that to touch one of these
long, narrow vessels amidships is
certain destruction within a few min
utes. The tonnage laws common in
both our countries are mainlv the
cause of this, and in company with
many able nautical men in England
I have denounced these as 'legal
frauds.'"
TnE night of the serenade to But
ler, says the Washington Capital,
six able reporters of the Now York
newspapers repaired to the Fifth Ave
nue Hotel to write something about
it Someone told them that the pro
cession and Butler's speech were duo
at eleven o'clock, and as it was then
nine, the boys repaired to the base
ment and struck into a game of pool
to kill time. At 10:45 thev returned,
and were somewhat astonished, not
to say alarmed, to learn that the
procession had arrived, Butler had
spoken, the people had dispersed,
and the candidate had gone to bed.
The Sun and Herald men had been
told to report Butler in full; the
Tunes wanted half a column, and the
Tribune and World were to give him
a fair show. It was a solemn moment
for the young journalists, but their
intellects came to the rescue. They
made a bolt for Ben's room, got him
up, explained, and persuaded him to
repeat the speech. After he had con
cluded his eloquent and impressive
remarks, the boys began to thank
liim, but he interrupted, and, shak
ing his forefinger at them said:
"Now, don't you tell the public that
I got up to repeat this speech; and
I won t tell your employers that you
have been neglecting your busi
ness." JESOK.V.
