It is characteristic of humanity to ad mire iu others what we leck in ourselves. For this reason The Abtobuk local ad Tnirrvfa olifiV tlnf ttaafnl nnnlifv wViinTi U...WU UV..,, UI. U.,VU. V.I...J, T.U.W is to the human what tho buffer is to tho railway car; and which is always to us a cause of sincere admiration. Whether it be the man that stops one on the street to tell him that he'll pay that two years' subhcriptiou as kou as his wife has had an expected baby, and incidentally asks a loau of five dollars, pending that inter- eating event; or the eastern idiot who writes asking for a description of our soil, climate, resources and people with our opinion on the advisability of his immiprating, (and forgets to inclose a stamp), the exhibition of cheek always elicit- our unbounded admiration. But sometimes the thing seems to bo a little overdone. There is c superlative uegree or cueek which may run into gall, and when a man manifests gall it always changes our admiration to distrust. When the cruel fact is borne in upon our shrinking, sensitive soul that the alleged human is trying to gouge or is crowding the condescension afforded to the ordi nary beat who is trying to get something xornotmng, tuen is tbe golden bow, broken md the "silver cord loosed, or words to that tff.-ct. For this reason we enter a feeble pro test against the crowding of the fire-gilt, Damascus blade eastern man. In liL eagerness for business he is apt to disre gard tue common amenities of civilized life and try to gouge, steal, lie and gen erally awiudie. Every day brings painful proof of east ern gau. Jfeforu us lies a pretty circular from Jas. If. 1'itcher, whose address is 22J and 321 Broadway, New York, and wuo is theallegedsecretaryof tho United dtates mutual accident association. Just Wliat a mutual accident is, is something we don't know; anj bow, tbut is what he says be is. CouiidentialLy this little Pitcher in forms us that if Thk Astobian will ad vertise the business be will send the managing editor an accident insurance policy for J,UJO. This is a dazzling of fer. To realize that should wo fall a .uartyr to duty our heirs, executors ana administrators wouid be ahead of tue game just $5,003, is indeeu mspint.ng. It invests tho future witu a rotfy g.ow and tends to drive dull cm: away. Nor is this all. Should we become lucapao.tuted for tha pursuit of deetiug items, tbere awaits us (pro viding we are the pusaesaors of that poli cy) tue sum of ?.'. a voek, a sum tbat tar transcends our wildest dreams oi oouud.e&s weaith. Bat taere is a blot on the landscape, a bluotc in tue way, a bugatiu c mKer cjnceuled in tua fair fruit. To fud pjnsess I'll tho privileges of tuo insurance palicy wo must pay ono dollar per montn. oj tuat bumiuiug the whole tiling up it we drop luto tbt Pitcher we must ad vertise bis bu-.ia.-s j, piy assessments as long as wj live and die if we want a div idend. An ordinary faro game olfera superior inducements, because there we oouid Watcu the dealer and keep an eye on tbe man tnat kept cases. An additional circular evidently in closed by uistake, and intended uolely for tue outside public gives Pitcher dead away. It seems anyone, be he bootblack, oouauzi king, ajlmou canner, reporter or city official can get the same layout exactly by tue payment of the same sum mentioned in tue couddeutial circular al per montn. Sj that all tuis little ecueuie is simply an effort to get adver tising done for nothing. Well, his gall is successful. Pitcher gets this adver cisment for nething: we don't cuarge mm a cent, and he needn't send any mu tual accident either, but oar advice to readerd of 'az AsroBixx is to send no money to the Un.td States mutual acci dent association of New York, for if you do, you will never hear from it again.' a manifest ebbok. Tha appropriation of $150,000 for the breakwater at Port Orford is to be uti lizid. Vork is to ba commenced on it next spring under the superintendence of Captain Cuarles H. Powell of the United States eugineer corps. When thin is finished, with the railroad connecting Port Orford with Ko-seburg, which is to be commenced at the sime time, the Co lumbia river will bn deprived of her ship ping trade, as the deep water ships will all go to Port Orford. S. F. Chronicle, 9th. "About this time look out for rough waather," .jay the aim inac-,and about this time look oat for such flyers as the above. The Asromv is glad to know that the breakwater at Port Orford is to ba com- Fileted. California's iron bound coast sad y needs appropriations, and in co nmon with every dweller on the coast wo are pleased to learn that the terrors of ocoan navigation will be eomewnat mitigated. But when tho Chronicle starts in talk ing abiut what w 11 happen on tho Co lumbia river, and about "Jeep water snips," it starts on a topic about which it knows nothing and shows its ignorance. Poisiblv tho wish is father to the thought, in the Chronicle's f dse statement. At I. J. A vold'fl You will find a splendid Mock of boots and shoes.

As iBportsat WMTery r tfe Ameritw Tla PUtfl AuoeUtUa. Tha Amorioaa Tin-plata Association, of which John Jarrott in the general agent, haa discovered a dTroot evasion of the sections of the tariff law regulating the duty on tin plate. Last summer tho appraiser's department of tho Philadel phia custom house discovered that large tin shoets were being "entered as tin plates. The chief examiner ruled that they wero tinned 6heets "and should be entered at the rate of section 151 of the tariff index "new,' which provides the rates for plates and Rb&t-iron. This rate on sheets not thinner than No. 20 wire gunge is 1.1 cents per pound; thin ner than No. 20 find not thinner than No 23, 12 cents per pound; thinner than No. 25 and not thinner, than No, 29, 1.5 cents per pound. It is proTidedrthat on all such iron and steel sheets or plates, when galvanised or coated witlrzinc or Bpelter or other metals or any alio? of these metals, the duty shall be-of a cent per pound additional. This ruling was af firmed by the treasury department on July 14th last, and also at a subsequent date. Since that time these tinned sheets have not been imported through the custom house of Philadelphia, but have been comipg in steadily through the custom houses of New York and Bos ton as tin plates. Mr. Jerrett claims that tinned sheets are an essentially different article from tin plate3. Tinned sheets, he says, are rolled out on what is known as sheet milt while tin plates, terne' plate and taggers iron are. roiled out on what in known as a tin inihV hence they are dif ferent even in the prooess of manufac ture. Tinned sheets are generally handled in tho trade in precisely the same manner as galvanized sheets, calamined sheets and sheet-iron. That is, it ib bought and sold by the pound, and ac cording to gauge. Tin-plates and terne plates are bought and sold by the box, ranging in sizes from 14x10 to 23x3) and 24x31 inches. Plates, when boxed, are known bv their brand-marks, such at -IC." "IX," -IXX," eto. These brand marks are intended to designate thi weight of the plates in tbe box. Thus, a box marked "IC," 14x1a!, and containing 112 sheets, would weigu 103 pounds. A box marked "iX, 14x20," and containing 112 sheets wouid weigh 136 pounds, or 23 pounds more than IC. ich udditiona cross renresents an additional weight oi 21 pounds to the box. Tho price of tin piates is at so muou per dox. it hj cost $5 IX would then cost $6.50, and each ad ditional "X" $1.50. Tin plates were run in longer sizes than 'Ax'li, while thest tinned sheets are from o0x60 to 40x112 inches, or precisely the s ime size as gal vanized and all other sheet-iron. The weights given are contained in a ful statement of the caso which Mr. Jarrett is preparing for transmission to the treas ury department..' He says 'that on even pound of tinned sheets admitted as tin plates tbe government lost from four fifths of a cent to IK cents, according t the quality of the article imported. The aggregate loss on- this account Mr. Jar rett declines to estimate, put says it u already equal to thousands of dollars pei annum, and was .growing at an alarming rate. Lhe tinned sheets are used in th. manufacture of milk cans, "and have al most entirely taken tha placo of sheet iron in the manufacture of gas-meters and similar articles. Importers have been very quick to grasp the idea, and the shipments eich week are larger than those of the week previous. Mr. Jarrett has called the attention of th appraisers at New York and Boston to. the decision in the Philadelphia case, but no copy of the ruling of the department has been received by them, and they 'consequents know nothing about it. Mr. Jarrett'o statement, now in course of preparation. is intended to bring tbe matter before the secretary of the treasury so clearly that the officers of all ports of entry will ; be instructed to stop the fraud. Fretk Stlmoa for Kaglaad. This city has hardly begun to fol the good effects of extended r&ilrcad com munication, but every day the benefits conferred by them are being more and more appreciated. Yesterday the Pacific Express Company shipped two boxes of fresh salmon, 130 pounds to the box. to NewOrlesns, the same will arrive there in five days. The paople of the Orescent city will doubtless appreciate, like the rest of tbe world, the flavor of Colum bia river salmon. Another shipment of two large boxes of salmon was made to London, England, by the Pacific Ex press, via tho Short Line. The fish are consigned to Groves & Co., wholesale fish mongers, and willl go to their des tination across tbe tlantic in fifteen davs from tho time they left here. The freight charges on this shipment will be but eighteen cents per pound, which is very cheap considering tho distance car ried. News, 12. Bu-lil's Aruira fsalve.

EVEULASTIKO, ALMIOHTY Doi -LA It, There Is no such word as fall. After I bad read it carefully the Major asked me what I thought of it. "It means war," I replied, "between the time-honored system of long time and high prices, and cash, quick sales and small prohts. Which will win in the end remains to be seen. You, Major, as an old resident of these parts, accustomed for years to buy mighty liberal, and tak ing your own time to pay, woald find it hard to plank down tho cash every time, even if you did get your truck 10 percent 'Well', Asa Stackpole." replies Bliz zsTd, "I haint so blamed sartin about that. Mariar and I were figerin' on that t'other day Mariar, you know, in spite of anything I can do, will kite round to Bradshaw's and she asked me to get her a ham. I forgot it and she went out mad, and to make things squar' I kim over here and got tbe hog meat; but when I toted it home I found her tbere afore me with another ham, and a blamed sight better one, too, than yourn. 6ha paid 18 cents a pound cash for hern, four cents a jound less'n whpt you charg ed. This sot us to considerin of the sit ooashun. We found by cpmpann' your aggers with Bradshaw's 'that we were payin' you ten per cent, more for every thing we got, besides a liber'l shave for the 'cominodashnn." ."Well, Maior," I replied, "that's all right. I dop't charge you any more in proportion to what I pay for goods than Bradshaw does. I don't tax you no more interest on tho time bills than the jobber does me." "I knows that, Asa," ha said, "I knows that: but if I takes the notion into my nsad that by bavin for cash I kin save two or three bund'ed dollars a year, you bet I'm a goin' to buokle on to the bullion. Sposin' I've got a parcel of wheat, now I aint gom' to hold on to it for n rise of mebbe five per cent., while I'm payin' out fully 13 per cent, extry on every dollar's worth of truck I buy end on every dollar I owe. Now take a squar look at the sitooa shun. You buy on long timo and offen let yer accounts run over; you pay p'raps 3 or 9 per cent, interest on bills overdue, and a heap more for everything you buy than wor you to plank down the tin every time. Whereas, wor you a cash or short time buyer you wouldn't care a dem f.r any body, and could trade wherever you liked, besides gettin' a likely discount on all yer bills. I've been figunn' a heap on this 'ere credit questshun lately. Mariar has opened my eyes to the advantages of a new deal all around, not only to save coin, but to keep up with the times. My old noshuns of xrien'ship whar bizness in concerned, has gone with my hu'r and oaird. Since I've ch tnged my pussonal style my ideas have underwent a reform, in a payin' all my debts. I'll stick to you,Asa, as long as you do as well by Mariar a3 Bradshaw does. Now's yer chance to prod op yer slow pay custom ers. Set me up afore 'em as a Hhinin ex ample of reform. Strike into the new channel that is bound to drift every biz ness man on tbe coast as takes it to pros perity.
