That was not very creditable to the
Vily of Astoria in the legislature when
the diiference of opinion down here cul
minated last week in a squabble at Salem.
No doubt there are many who now real
ize that for the common good it would
have been better every way to have had
ajconference here and agreed on some
definite plan, even if compromise were
necessary, than to call the attention of
tho whole state to the fact that we
couldn't agree on a little proposition re
garding municipal law. That's what it
had to come to finally, and it would have
been more satisfactory every wav to
have settled our little differences "here
quietly and easily.
It is also to-be regretted that the mat
ter has been dragged into politics, and
that the question of whether a man is a
Democrat or a Eepublican determines
which way he should or would vote on
it. Tho men that drafted the chamber
bill were Democrats and Republicans,
there were men that aided in drafting
the council bill Republicans as well as
well as Democrats. Party lines have
no busineas in relation to such a meas
ure as this. As well make it a test
whether a man be a Presbyterian, or
High church, or low church, or no
church. As it stands the ques
tion becomes purely a political one. A
dispatch received last evening says that
the fight was renewed in the senate
chamber yesterday rooming. Th e coun -cil
bill which has been passed by the
house was before the senate. Mr. "Lein
enweber appeared and asked for the
courtesy of the senate to allow him to
speak regarding tho bill. This 3Ir. Reed
refused, and after sorab jawing on both
sides it was agreed that the bill bo made
a special order to-morrow morning. The
way it is now it would appoar to bo only
a question of party strength. The mat
ter hiis been hanging firo now long
enough and should be disused of some
way. It is just ossible that we could
worry along for a season under tho present
charter, without serious inconvenience to
public good or individual prosperity.

In reply to your letter of the 10th inst.
I have to say that there are now in this
office about 1,500 patents ready for de
livery. It would bo quito a job to make
out a list of patents in this office for a
county. They are kept in packages by
number and not as location by counties.
If the holder of a certificate" or receipt
will send the same to this office, stating
his or her postoffice address, the patent
for it will, if it is here, be transmitted to
such holder by mail without expense. If
the patent is not here the certificate or
receipt will be returned to tho sender. As
a generai . thing the patent is received
here about eight mouths or a year after
date of the certificate or receipt, so par
ties who have made proof within such
time should not send their certificates or
receipts unless they have received notice
from thi3 office that the patent is here.
However, an inquiry as to whether a
patent may be here will always meet with
ready response, as I wish to havo tho
patents promptly fall into the hands of
the persons properly entitled to them.

SAM WYXX SKIPS ODT.
It was announced yesterday, says the
Standard, that Sam Wynn, the notori
ous sailor boarding-house keeper and
shanghaier, had skipped tho town, leav
ing various unpaid debts behind him.
An investigation was made by a Stand
ard reporter who heard the rumor, which
was found to be true. Sam came to this
city about four months ago, and engaged
in business at the corner of Second and
D streets. Ho brought with him several
runners, who were always on the lookout
for poor Jack tars, and when once Be
turcd Jack was not let out of their
clutches until he was stripped and his ad
vance money captured. A largo number
of sailors have been taken into his don
and robbed of every cent they possessed,
and kicked out into tho street. Sam, by
smooth talking succeded in beguiling
a number of merchants into crediting
him until the amount total ran into tho
thousands. Thursday a meeting of his
dupes was held, and Sam was notified
that if ho did not pay up at once he would
be sued for the" amount of bis several
debts. Ho at once came to tho conclu
sion that Portland was too warm a place
so he took tho boat for Kalama, taking
with him his spare cash. His wife packed
up all the furniture in tho house, and,
before she could be prevented, left yester
day morning on the train for the Sound,
bag and baggage. Wynn owed Harris,
the First street tailor, $309, which was
secured by a chattel mortgage on the
furniture,'but Harris is left oul in the
cold as when Sam's wife left she took
the household goods with her, leaving
nothing for the hungry creditors. A.
Abrahms was duped to the tuno of $80,
and two Chinese cooks for $70 apiece,
anu ix. uenmson. the sum chandler, is
reported to bo loser about t50. Wynn is
supposed to havo cone to Woodbv Island
on the Sound where he has a ranch.
The Telephone.
Jeff's new saloon, the "Telephone," is
now open. It is new all through;
the building is new, the furniture
and fittings are new and of elegant finish
and the proprietor has put in some
new ideas that will commend them
selves to the patrons of the Tele
phone. Everything about the place Is
first class, the wines and liquors of the
best, and Jeff will cxrthimself to make
it pleasant for anyone who calls. He
has tint tin and finelv furnished a first
class establishment and no cosier place
can be found in tho city m -which to
meet a friend or join in a social glass.

Tat Xortkera FieMc Tuts ao Prior Claim to
Land Soatk ef the Colombia.
Astoeia, Feb. 13, 188.!.
Ed. Astebiak: Since the Astoria land
grant has .been declared forfeited by
congress it becomes of interest to know
how far the forfeited lands extend.
A fear has been expressed that the
Northern Pacific would claim some of
the lands on the south side of the Co
lumbia. This is not possible, for the
reason that the Oregon Central land grant
was made Mav 4. 1870: while the grant to
the Northern Pacific (for its Portland,
and Tacoma branch) was not made until
May 31. 1870. The Oregon Central,
therefore, is the older grant and was en
titled to the over-lapping grant, and this
is the dedsion'alresay made by the sec
retary of the interior.
The land cr&nt will not dos3 to the
Northern Pacific because grants to other
railroad companies along the route arc
specifically deducted in the terms of its
charter.
"How much land in Washington terri
tory will be thrown open by this Astoria
land grant forfeiture?" 1 can not say,
for tho northern limits of the Oregon
Central land grant wore never fixed by
the land commissioners. I would sup
pose, however, a large part of Pacific,
Wahkiakum and Cowlitz counties would
bo forfeited.
When wo consider also what a very large
country is now thrown open to settlement
in Clatsop. Columbia and Tillamook
counties in Oregon, wo can well say that
thousands of families can find homes m
the forfeited lands of the Astoria grant.
Yours, Clatsop.

RILL.
Wo have received a copy of Mr. Lein-
enweber's apportionment bill and a state
ment from that gentleman regarding his
action in relation to that measure. In
the bill that Mr. L. prepared he was just
to every section of tho state and asked
no more that we were entitled to in Clat
sop, vizr'oHe joint senator witi Columbia,
and two representatives, which every one
sees was little enough.
When tho bill came up in the senato a
motion had been mado to indefinitely
postpone further consideration of it, sim
ply to prevent discussion. This motion
was carried. When it camo np in tho
houso on tho 12th on its third reading.
immediately after it was read a member
from xiaKer county jumped up and moved
that it be indefinitely Dostnoned. Mr.
iLoinenweber arose and begged to bo
hoard relative to the bill. He was ruled
out of order and the motion to indefinite
ly postpone was carried by one majority.
Upon tho Tote being announced. Mr. L.,
who was exceedingly nettled, as any high
spirited man smarting under the 'injus
tice heaped upoa his county would bo un
der tho same circumstances, arose and
said that taxation without representation
wouldn't work any better in Clatsop coun
ty m lbsr. than it did on the Atlantic
coast in 1775, and that in view of the ac
tion taken lie would withdraw from the
deliberations of the legislature. This
aroused commotion, and the speaker ex
citedly asked if Mr. It- was prepared to
put uu assertions into writing. .air. u.
aswered, '"Yes." On this a num
ber of the representatives then sur
rounded his chair, asking him not to put
his threat into execution, and after a
little while, nnder suspension of the rule3,
the motion to indefinitely postpone was
reconsidered, the bill was brought back
and was made a special order for a com
mittee of the whole, Mr. L. thus carry
ing his point. His sole objeot in this
matter was to remedy existing inequality
and injustice and his efforts merit the
support of every one who believes with
him that taxation without representation
is unfair.
15 THE STATE SEXATE.
In the state senate on Friday when the
Astoria charter bill came op, Reed moved
indefinite postponement.
Dorxis opposed, stating the houso had
passed the bill, and it was offered by the
city council, who were supposed to rep
resent as well as a senator the wishes
of the people of Astoria.
Reed indignantly asked if he did not
represent the people of Astoria.
Hare and Carson opposed and Myers,
Bilyeu, Weatherford and Dorris favored
the bill.
Simon said it was evidently a party
measure and urged a party vote.
Bilyeu disclaimed such motive and da
precated the action of the senator for
usiqg such means to defeat the bill.
Pending action tho senate adjourned.
Tho rule prohibiting passengers from
entering the pilothouses of western river
steamers has been amended by the board
of supervising inspectors, and thG priv

OF IXTKBEST TO LUHKS.
The new rage is for tucking, and it
cannot be executed with sufficient fine
ness for the fastidious tastes of the cul
tivated. Cotton and linen underwear
displays an enormous amount of exquis
ite tuckings, some of it executed in clus
ters, and alternating with needlework
insertion, some done in alternate wide
and clustered lines, and still other gar
ments in what is known as the ''all-over"
style, which is always pretty, when neatly
executed, and always admired. Very
new and delicate effects are produced by
groups of lengthwise tucking, alternat
ing with a flat strip and very delicately
stitched on in a diamond pattern. Lace
insertions and btce trimming have given
way to this new tucking and needlework
mania, particularly the tucking and
stitching on of flat strips, cut out in
some little olive, Greek, leafy, or dia
mond design.
Tucking is not only more used than
ever before for drawers, chemises, night
dresses and combination garments, but
it is also in high vogue for cotton skirts,
both dresses and petticoats, and is es
pecially used in the place of fluted ruffles,
which have been so long employed, th:-.t
fluting has becono an accomplishment
of tho most ordinary laundress. Ruffles
are now only put upon the b3ck of the
skirt, ascending in a series to tho waist,
and these are no longer fluted, but simply
gathered and ironed plain. Gray under
skirts, made of a thin drilling, are
flounced in this way, and gathered in
slightly half the way down, with a cas
ing and drawing strings. These quite
save the necessity for the disagreeable
bustle or "improver."'
Most useful skirts for spring wear and
for traveling aro made of plain gray or
black satteen. Tho black are particu
larly good for wear with black silk aud
wool dresses, and are pleasant wear in
summer with grenadines. A pretty way
of making them is with hem and tucks
in front and at tho foot, knife kiltings at
tho back, the upper part plain, as the ma
terial lays flat and .should be worn with
a ruffled skirt underneath.
LIKES CUFFS AXD COLLARS.
The narrow rim of linen cuffs and
collar has held its own for many
years, and though it is asserted at times
that cuffs have disappeared, that ruffles
have taken their place, or that tho edgo
of the sleeve is left bare for tho glove
to be drawn over. It is noticed that
cuffs and collars still remain, are still in
demand and show their dainty edge be
yond tho dark lino of the sleeves, ex
actly as they have dono for years past.
The truth is that there is nothing that is
so suitable as a finish, or that gives
so much distinction to a neat tailor
made cloth dress, as a narrow rim
of linen cuff and collar, aud there is
no ruffle, lace or plaiting of linen, or
muslin that is a proper substitute. Ruf
fles are nntidy upon the edge of a ser
viceable sleeve, and soon look soiled and
worn. White lace shows every blemish
and is too frail as a finish to a thick cloth
dress. As for the bare edgo, it is very
unbecoming when gloves are taken off,
and demand the use always of gloves of
a peculiar length and make, which are
not always obtainable for every one. Be
sides, as remarked before. 'when tho
gloves aro removed there is the objection
of the dark unfinished "edge and bare ex
tended wrist, the sleeves now always
leaves the arm uncovered at its least at
tractive lower extremity.
The linen cuff undoubtedly has its dis
advantages; it ia stiff, it is usually made
too deep, and too large, and the sleeve is
often so narrow that it is with difficulty
it is adjusted aud kept in place. A but
ton, or fastening by which it could be
more easily held in place, is a great de
sideratum; but it is not so easy to adapt
an instrument so simple, as it would
have to be, to tho varying requirements.
Men have their shirt sleeves to affix their
cuffs to, besides which their sleeves are
much wider nt the wrists. The best way
we know of nt present is to open the
sleeve a short distance up tho back
and close it with three small button holes.
This affords an opening by which the cuff
can be kept in place without any trouble
whatever. There is a good deal in the se
lection of the right kind of cuffs. The
.newest and best for a narrow sleeve are
the "Jersey" cuffs, which are not more
than half the depth of the old fashioned
cuffs, are reversible; a small closely linked
button, or hook and eyo button, tho lat
ter small and flat, or elongated, would be
advantageous, the large wooden, round
or oval sleeve button being very much in
tho way. The present narrow straight
collar, 'fastened with a button and at
tached to a small single yoke, is exactly
suited to tho high, narrow standing col
lar, which remains fashionable as ever,
and is more generally becoming than any
other finish for cloth and wool dresses.

The Washington correspondent of the
Now York World writes as follews:
"The news of ex-Senator Nesmith's in
sanity has caused great surprise among
his friends here. Nesmith was a fa
mous senator here during tho war. He
had a keen wit aud was a most excellent
story teller. Some of his sayings gave
him" a national reputation. Ho was a
plain frontiersman who crossed tho
plains long before the days of Pacific
railroads and settled in Oregon when it
was a wilderness. Ho lived so long the
free life of a pioneer that he never be
came reconciled to the confinement of
town life.
"Continued sleeping under a roof used
to give him what he allied a "choky"
feeling. To get relief he would take his
blanket and fly to the woods, where ho
would often spend months camping out
and sleeping upon the ground. He served
out his senatorial term and was not re
elected. The last day of his term ho
walked from the senate chamber to the
railroad station where he had his bag
gage taken, and left Washington without
saying good-bye to any one. He did not
return to tho city again until he was
elected a member of the houso in 1872.
Ho served only one term then. He was
thoroughly wall liked by every one, and
aside from a few eccentricities, never
gave evidence of an unbalanced mind.
"Nesmith now labors under the delu
sion that the Democratic loaders of Or
egon have had him kidnapped and
confined for the solo purpose of prevent
ing him from going into Cleveland's
cabinet. It is believed in Portland that
his insanity is incurable. He was the
last of the type of primitive border mon
in congress. He had the courage to write
in the biography of himself which he fur
nished to the congressional directory,
"I received no education." Yet thore
was nothing uncouth in his language.
He was excessively plain, his figures
were often homely, but ho was regarded
as one of the very good speakers of tho
time. He was very cloar aud direct, and
as fond as any Irishman of a fight."

The Snbjfft or Divorce Brighten up the
CrocVery Trailr.
"I see divorces-are getting cheaper,"
placidly remarked Mr. Jarphly with sig
nificant satisfaction to Mrs. Martha
Jarphly. at the breakfast table, yesterday
morning."
"Are they?" said Mrs. Jarphly. with a
tilt of her nose. "Well it's a good thing,
and will be better yet if they only get
cheap enough to be within the reach of
some people I know," and tho lady absent-mindedly
centered her eyes on the
milk pitcher, and smiled sweetly upon
it.
There was a gage of battle, and Jere
miah Jarphly knew it. When Mrs.
Jarphly smiled on the milk pitcher at the
breakfast table, that meant war. Mr.
Jarphly had recently written to Mr.
Cleveland that he was a civil service re
former and would accept a postoffice, and
Mr. Cleveland had not.yet replied to his
letter. That made him iritable.
"Half tho men in the world are fools
for gettiug married anyway," he mut
tered. 'And all the women are," replied Mrs.
Jarphly. as 3ho gave the milk pitcher an
other smile.
"There's a good many wives in the
world thatit's a torture for a man to livo
with,' remarked Mr. Jarphly, as he
drummed with a fork in retaliation for
Mrs. Jarphly's smiling on the milk
pitcher.
"What do men marry for, then?"
sneered Mrs. Jarphly.
"How's a man going to tell whether ho
can live with a woman or not until he
marries her?" cried Mr. Jarohlv.
"Let him find out," answered his wife
with womanly logic.
"Find out?" yelled Mr. Jarphly. "Find
out! It's all courtship and taffy before
marraigo and vinegar and 'find out after
ward!" '"Whose fault-is it?" asked his wife with
asperity.
"It's "the women's! '
"It's the tho men's!" .
"Before marriage they show up all
painted and Tarnished, and are too sweet
lor anything, and "
"Yes, and tho men keep sober and be

"And conio home in a shameful condi
tion, and
"And wear their hair in papers for him

"And spend their money in disgracing
their families instead of providing for
them, and "
