The Alliance, that vessel with such a stormy legal history, went across the bar vesterday afternoon, wheat laden for San Francisco. At half-past ten to-morrow morning E. C. Holden will have an auction sale of household furuitme at his roems: theie is a good safe among the lot. See adv't. The Simulant says that after March 1st the Fleetwood is to bo overhauled and widened, "after which she will be placed on the Newport and Astoria route." Mebbe. The bill providing for a coustitutional convention was brought up for reconsid eration last Monday in the house, and squeezed through bvii two-thirds vole of ."1 to 1G. Doesn't it begiu to look as though all this charter flurry was for nothing after all, and that we uus would have to worry along under our present charter for 7i) days more? The Telephone will make her first trip to Astoria on Sunday, March 1st. She will land at the same dock from which the Fleetwood has so long departed for points inland. The owners of Liberty hall nro about to enlarge and improve that building. It will be raised about four feet from its present level, a new gallery put in, and otherwise improved. Judge Taylor returned from Portland yesterday where ho has been holding court for Judge Smith, who exchanged with him in trying some cases in which Judge Taylor had been interested in be fore his elevation to the bench. He goes to The Dalles next week and from there to Prineville. L. D. Holt has been awarded the con tract for building tho wharf and trestle work at Ft. Stevens. His bid was the same as a Portland competitor, and it was final ly decided to draw straws for it, Holt drawing the longer straw. He will begin at once and has SO days in which to com plete the work. Capt. AYhilcomb, of the Fleetwood, blew his whistle opposite tho city at 12:43 yesterday and came rounding in Off hours from Portland, He has made good time right along on that fast little craft, and no matter how foggy or windy tho day has come in on time. Beginning to-day Mr. Barnard takes tho position of nurser on that popular craft; Mr. Seelyo will in future have charge of the business on the Portland dock, where the thousands for whom he has always had n pleasant word and smile will be glad to meet him. Gov. Moody and his estimable lady gave a reception at the gubernatorial mansion in Salem about a week ago to which a good many throughout the state were invited. The declinntions were not made public, but the Heppner Gazette man who evidently received an invita tion, excuses himself in public thusly: "The chief engineer of this sheet returns thanks to Governor and Mrs. Moody for their kind invitation to their reception, but the fact that n fellow from the hunch-grass hills would have to take his overalls out of his boots and even black those boots, forever precludes the possi bility of attending a Salem social spread." A new craft arrived down yesterday and attracted general attention at "Wy att & Thompson's dock. She is a steam boat, sternwheeler, cog rigged, direct action, plenty housing, 20 tons burden, 45 feet over all, 9 foot beam, V, feet depth of hold, draws 18 inches of water, is named the Lena and is the property of Mr, Bonzer of Sauvies Island. She is ad mirably adapted for the purpose of her owner who loads farm truck, apples, veg etables, etc., on this river wagon and goes all over creation. He reports the roads down here a little rougher than they are where he usually travels, but be yond a little lumpiness on the highway, found no impediment to travel. , A prominent money lender of Center ville had a rough trick played on him the other day. A business man of the same place found himself in such a po sition that ho was compelled to raise four hundred dollars immediately. He called on the moneyed man and secured the amount for one month with the stipulation that he was to pay sixty dol lars for the nse of it. The thirty days rolled around and tho business man failed to put in an appearance. He was visited by our modern Shylock and in formed that unless the $460 was forth coming he would collect it by law. A peculiar grin flitted over the merchant's countenance as he told the man of coin to proceed. He rushed off to his lawyer and stated his case, but imagine his cha grin when informed by the legal light that the statutes of Oregon made no provision entitling a man to charge 200 cent, for money, and unless he wished to donate the whole amount to tho school fund he had better effect a compromise with the borrower. The compromise was effected and the four hundredjdollars was paid back without interest. Leader. Furnished Room To I.cl. Apply to Mrs. Muxson. BOILED D0TT5. W. V. Astor, American minister to Italy, will resign his position March 1st. The house of representatives has voted down the bill placing General Grant on the retired list. Three thousand idle men with banners paraded London's streets on the after noon of the ICth, demanding work. In the San Francisco Sharon-Hill suit. Judge Sullivan awards the plaintiff $2,G00 a month alimony, and counsel fees amounting to $55,000. Intensely cold weather is experienced in Iowa. Illinois, Wisconsin and Minne sota. At Fargo, Dakota, last Monday the thermometer stood 23 degrees below zero. The San Francisco Chronicle claims to have discovered the existence of a broth erhood of dynamiters in that city, num bering eighty-five members. One of tho members in an interview stated that tho brotherhood had sent $700 to O'Dopovan Bossa and two agents were sent to Great Britain from that city. News of an Arab revolt in- Yeman hss just reached Loudon. The Arabs mas sacred the Turkish outpost garrisons. The governor of Sana massed the re maining 2,500 Turks, and appealed to the porte for 4,000 reinforcements. The in surgents are incited by emissaries of 1 Mahdi, who is preparing to make an at tack. There is excitement in London over the reciptof dispatches from Berlin announc ing that the Russian-government had or dered 2000 Krupp guns for the purpose of strengthening its position in central Asia. Tho guns are to be of the largest pattern and are evidently intended for service in fortresses. Simultaneously with the above report calne dispatches from St. Petersburg stating that Sebastapol is to be made a free port. A New York special of the 16th says that definite information has been re ceived that Senator Bayard has informed President-elect Cleveland that he would accept the portfolio of the state depart ment, and that Mr. Manning has con sented to go into the cabinet as secretary of the treasury. It has also been decided that Mr. Garland will be offered the posi tion of attorney general. Mr. McDonald will probably go into the cabinet, but this has not vet been definitely deter mined upon. "Vilas will, it is stated by good authority, be offered the iortfolio of the war department. Ijitt Ktpnlnjr'x Concert. The Congregational church was coiu foitably filled la.st evening to hear a vocal and instrumental concert, given bv the church choir assisted by other able musical talent. Tho overture "Queen of tho Valley.'" was first on the list. Prof. Francis, violin, A. t'tzingor, cornet, Miss Hattio Bilely, pianist. This was followed bv '"Come where tho Lilies Bloom, ' iu which Miss Emma Connolly, Miss Kate Con nolly, W. H. Barker andF. E. Shute took part. "When the Itobm nests again," by Mrs. F. It. Stokes, was followed by "Evening Bells." with vocal accompani ment, by the Misses Connolly. "U Ba cio." by Mrs. C. H. Page, closed the first ?art. A violin solo, "Sweet Home,1' by rof. Francis was followed by "Moon light on the Rhino," sung by Mrs. C. H. Pace and W. H. Barker. "Lead me where she's gently sleeping," by Mrs. B. t an uuben. ana a semi cnorus, was ioi lowed bv "Beautiful windinc river." bv Miss Maud Hobson and senri chorus, our. i. u. juiaaieurooK men singing a solo, "Sunrise."

Smith, preceded an overture, "Lustspiel," by Miss Hattie Biteley, pian st, Prof. Francis, violin, and A. Dtzinger, ocmet, thus closing one of the finest con certs ever given in the city. The encores were hearty and numerous, and the ren dition of each selection left nothing to be desired. Hen ilollatU) at Sal m. Ben Holladay was up this week. His arrival was the signal for those overload ed with political reminiscenses to recount how, twelve years ago this session, Ben's ohampaign flowed like water in the sen atorial headquarters at the Chemeketa. "I tell you this is a tame affair at the side of that," said Phil Sanders, the portly, congenial door keeper of the house, to the Xeics correspondent. "Why, old Ben just set 'em up in great shape Cigars, wines, carriages, every thing and anything you wanted. I never saw anything like it. Ben never does anything by halves. I tell you, now, he made it interesting for everybody.' Despite his financial embarrassments, everyone could see that this man had fallen not a whit in the eyes of the old timers. They flocked around him, lis tened to his stories, smoked fragrant cigars and played eucher and poker with him, as in those days of a dozen years ago. AVhw. Found. A celluloid pin.

"Lloyds," says a writer ju the Toronto Budget, is the great marine insurer of the world, and although neither a joint stock, limited liability, nor mutual company, it transacts more business than all the ex isting marine companies combined. It is a perfectly anomalous institution, nnd yet the greatest of the kind tho world ever saw. Congregated together in the rooms are to be found the most eminent merchants, ship owners, underwriters, brokers, and bankers, in the world. It has a merchants' room where vast trans actions are incepted and carried out. lliis is presided over by a sea captain, who speaks at least a dozen languages, and welcomes businesa men from every nation. It hss a captains room which is also utilized as a coffee room, where cap tains and merchants converse and trans act business. It has also the "subscrib ers' room," wkich is the room par excel lence, and that which lends to Lloyds its traditional characteristics and chief business attraction. In it are to be found the subscribers, who number over 2,000, each paying an entrance fee of 25 and an annual subscription of five guineas. The subscribers are composed of men of undoubted probity and stability In fact it is well understood they represent the vast commercial wealth of England. Lloyds itself does not insure; it is only the subscribers who assume tho risk, and that only on their own individual re sponsibility. The modus operandi of transacting business is as follews: A merchant requires insurance, say of 10,000 sterling, on a venture from 'Cal cutta. He first places it in the hands of his broker (through whom, it may be mentioned in this connection, all busi ness of this nature is transacted), who proceeds to the sabscribers' room, being in possession of the necessary particu lars. There he submits to tb6 under writer, who, on hearing the vessel's name, and referring to the register and ascer taining her class, generally consults with other underwriters numbers of whom work together, assuming the sanio risks then, if everything is considered satis factory, he informs tho broker of his willingness to accept. "What rate?"' asks the broker. "One and half," for what other rate ho may name) replies the underwriter. The broker then accepts and inquires, "who signs?" The names aw given, each for 100 or 200, as the case may be, until tho 10,000 is made up. The clerk then makes out tho policy, se cures the necessary signatures, hands tho policy to the broker, and the transaction closes. This may appear a rathor loose and prccarioas way of doing business. It is perfectly legitimate, however, as the underwriters arc well known and of un doubted standing, nnd a failure to meet a loss forfeits forever all right to do busi ness at Lloyds'. A Lloyds' policy is, therefore, considered all the world over as savo as a Bank of England note. Bueklcii'.s Arnica Salve.

"If sitting with this little worn out shoe And scarlet stocking lying on my knee, I knew the little feet had pattered through The pearl-set gates that lie 'twivt t heaven and me I could be reconciled, and happy, too, And look with glad eyes toward the jasper sea. "If, in the morning when the song of birds Reminds us of a music far more swoet, I listen for his pretty, broken words. And for the music of his dimpled ft-et. I could be almost happy though I heard No answer, and saw but his. vacant sent. "I could be glad if, when the day is doud. And all its cares and heart-aches laid awayj 1 could look westward to the hiddeu suit, And with a heart fall of deep yearnings say, 'To-night I'm nearer to my little one By just the travel of a single day. If I could know those littb feet were shod In sandals wrought of light in other lands, And that the footprints of a tender God Ran side by side with his in golden sands, I could bow cheerfully and kiss the rod. Since Benny is in wiser, safer hands. "If he were dead I would not sit to.day And stain with tears the wee sock on ray knee. I would not kiss the tiny shoes, and say, 'Bring back again my little boy to me!"' I would be patient, knowing it h God's way, And that they'd lead me to him o'er death's silent sea. "But O! to know the feet, once pure and white. The haunts of vice have boldly ven tured in! The bands that should have battled for the right, Have been wrung crimson iu the clasp of sin. And should he knock at heaven's gate to night I fear my boy could hardly enter in." STILL A MYSTERV. "What," said the Shah of Persia one day. "means all this turmqil I hear in the streets?" "Most High nnd Mighty Son of the Sunrise," replied his grand vizier, "it is the populace following one who cnlleth himself Buddha, and who gets about performing miracle." "Let him be brought in." The guards brought iu on the run an old man of majestic appearance U whom the Shah said briefly: "Let the hippodrome proceed." Thereupon the alleged Buddha began his circus. He swallowed three cannon balls without winking; lie climbed an invisible pele: ho rubbed the rheuma tism out of a scullery maid's sheulder: he removed a royal wart from the grand vizier's nose; he rolled lamplighters, lit them, and they became writhing snakes; and took a six-year-old girl out of his pocket handkerchief. These did he all most excellently. Yet did not the great ruler bat his eyes. "Art Buddha?" ho snid tersely. (Tho Shah was very brief-winded.) "Yea, verily.' "Then take thee this lead pencil, friend, and drop the same upon the floor. If the end break not, then verilv thou art Buddha." But the alleged immortal, shrieking wildlj, "That I have tried these many years in vain," fled forth, flung himself from the battlements,, caught upon his cheek and escaped back into the far re cesses of the Himalayas. But the great monarch smiled feebly and said: "Thus have I unmoskod already nine teen Buddbas." At Frank Fnhre:. Hoard for S22-"J0 a month. The in the ritv.
