The Haldee is now out 150 days from Liverpool, and is" overdue. Remember the New England Mippjr Jit Liberty hall this evening. It iB not yet 1)5 years since ojr first president, "G-. Washington, was inaug urated. The Welcome says that C. W. Kaowles is talking of recanting the li'ittd business in Portland. "The Restoration' is what the Stand ard calls the inauguration of President elect Cleveland. Sheriff Ross has bought some lime and brushes and his seven bourders are busy cleaning the jail. Shingles in unbroken bundles from the wreck of the Annie Gee at Humboldt, drifted 200 miles northward of Coo Buy. Down in San Jose, Cal., they elect po lice officers "to serve without "compensa tion from tho city." There are no va cancies. Tho Queen sailed yesterday. The Montgomery Castle crossed out." The M. E. Cox, IS days from Champcrico, ar rived in. From the interior come complaints about counterfeit silver coin. The four bit pieces nie said in bo the :mst largely imitated. The Mercury mercuriHlly suggests to Governor Moody that he cut the Gordian knot by appointing himself United States senator. Hannibal Hamlin, who w.is dwted on the same ticket with Lincoln in 1500, will be at tho inauguration to-day. It'll seem kind o' singular to the old man. A "secret political oi denization' has been started in Portland "to purify local politics." The Portland druggists talk of getting up a corner on carbolic acid. Thirty-two years ago last Monday, Washington territory was organized. It is a territory yet, but if it had justice would glitter "in tho galaxy of stars on our national flag. A St. Louis paper offers a line old watch to any ono who can correctly guess the new presidential cabinet. Seems as though Cleveland had a sure thing on that watch. It is said that the chief objection to the resolution regarding the refunding of the taxes of 'Si comes from those who have not paid their taxes. Some things can be done as well as others. It is ridiculous to assert that the late legislature was a failure. Was "there not yevy of young lady clerks employed at .a day for each y. 1. c? and ha3 not each of the y. 1. c.'s bought a new dress? The idea! A grapevine special states that the six salmon to be served up and down at the inaugural supper to-night are not Chi nooks, bnt just ordinary steelheads. How's thibV Who has thus betrayed the trust reposed iu he? The Welcome directs nttention to the Iossession of several thousand acres of timber in XJolumbia.

There are 32-1 children of school nje in District No. 18; 15C boys and 1CS girls. In the city including both districts, there are 965. In upper Astoria there are 1G3, making a total of 1,129 children of school age the men and women of the next decade. At 10 o'clock .Monday morning, D. E. Jefferson dropped dead on the south side of Jefferson street in Portland. A coro ner's jury decided that deceased died from heart disease. Deceased was 20 years of age, and was, up to a short time sinoe, a medical student at the Willam ette medical college. His parents live near Salem.

A few days ago the Portland school board held a secret session and snubbed the Oregoniau reporter when ho civilly asked a few questions regarding their proceedings, The star chamber style of doing busmen didn't work, and tho Ore tjonian started in to ventilate the whole business so thoroughly that at the meet ing hold last Monday the board welcomed the publicity, making a virtue of neccs sity and was especially desirous of being fully reported. At the annual school meeting held in the upper ABtoria school house last Mon day evening Mrs. C. Leineuweber was elected school clerk for the ensuing year, and J. O. Hanthorn school director for the ensuing three years. A school tax of six millB was levied for current expenses of the year. There are 1C3 children of school age in the district a gain of 27 in the last year. The school affairs are in a prosperous condition, a large and well maintained school being iu daily session.

The ladies of Cushing Relief Corp3 No. 3, will give a New England supper at Lib erty Hall this Wednesday evening, March 4th, from five to eight o'clock. It will bo well managed, and will doubtless bo well patronized. There will be music, vocal and instrumental, by soma of the best local talent and the supper will be one of the best ever set in tho city. Admission will be free; supper 50 cents. It is usual throughout the count ry nixm tho inaugu ration of a president to have some ob servance of the occasion, and the Relief Corps has very properly concluded that a good supper would be'as good a way as any of celebrating the inauguration. Every one will be nnde wolcorae, and a general imitation is extended to the public. The proceeds of the supper ure to be devoted to charity, tno charity that is "twice blewted,"' blessing those who give and those who take. The appeal of charity to Astorinns is never made iu vain, and tho kind ladies who are devo ting so much effort to the entertainment Should have n hearty response to their zealous endeavors. Those Good Old Pnji. One evening many years ago the writer of this attended a" social gathering of young folks iu a Wisconsin village, and after various games had been played, all involving more or less oscillatory prac tice, there was a lull in the exercises, and wo all sut nrouud in tho parlor fating nuts and pop corn. A very fiue New foundland dog lay stretched out near the lire, and Carrie, the lively daughter of the hostess, calling Bruno to her, told him to stand up. and amused us for some time by placing korinls of corn on his nose, and repeating: "On-, twoc three, fire!' when the dog would toss the corn up, catch it and eat it with relish. She then made him lie down and roll oer, and do various triiks, finally elosiiig by having him stand on his head. As the noble dog resumed his natural jwsition Carrie said to Charlie f., "There Char lie, you can't do that." Just at that mo ment, when all eyes v. era still on the dog, he dropied on his haunches and commeuoed vigorously scratching his ear with his hind foot in' the effort to dis lodge u wicked flea. "No, 1 don't believo I can," said Charlie, "nor you either." And then n cyclone ot laughter swept through the room, and Carrie's cheeks were tho color of the red, red rose. Those were good old days. Brown (who has just had the telephone connection established between his office and house, and is very much pleased with it). I tell you, Smith, this tolephone business is a wonderful thing. 1 want you to dine with me this evening, and I will notify jvirs. Brown to expect you.

A few years ago, when he was here, a committee of newspaper men waitd upon him and tendered some sort of entertainment in his behalf. "Well," said he. with his customary colloquial limp, "I've had a good deal of this sort of marble palace and gilded chandelier business and 1 don't want any more, but if 1 could get together with the boj'S in a quiet, cosy place, where a fellow might smoke a cob pipe and pat his feet on the table if ho wanted to. then 1 don't know Jjut what I'd eniov it."

But "beyond the banter noth ing more was seriously said z'bant fulfill ing the obligation. Monday night Jarphly, who had been keeping exceptionally early hours, came homo at a very unseasonable time. He had n dull, dead-sea-wave, bury-me-in-the-woodlands feeling in his legs as he ascended the steps and pulled the bell. To his utter 'surprise Mrs. Jarphly. all wreathed in smiles, met him. No refer ence was made to its being midnight, and thej' billed and cood in the happiest manner. Jarpbby never was so tickled iu his life, and told his wifo that he had that very dav hssn looking over some sealskin sacques, and was not only highly gratified but greatly surprised to hear her intimate thatsho believed him. Shortly after retiring Mrs. Jarphly ctorted up and said sbo thought she heard a noise in the hall. "I don't hear nothing.,' slid Jarphly, "I'm sure I did," responded tho lady. "O, nonsense.

"1 know it's all foolishness, but just to please yon I'll go and see," and up he jameil, and, seizing n bootjack, went down stairs. cloclv followed bv his wife. 'There, didn't i tell yon"" he ex claimed, as they readied th. front door. "Sh h h! 1 hear something vl the door! Listen. There! I'm Hiire I did!" excitedly whispered the lady. "Bosh"!' cried Jarphly contemptuously. "111 open it for you." nd fortuwith he opened it and steppjd out into the moon light. "There, are yon satisfied now':" "Yes," and the door closed with n bang, and the bolt shot on it with liqLi ning spi-cd. "Good gracitKLs!" cried the dismayed man, around whose uncovered limbs 'the night wind played in mournful dirges. "Hi! there! "Le't ma in!" and he com menced pounding on the door.

"Pay your bet. Tell the neighbors what you are," was tho wife's reply to each deniaud to be let in. People were beginning to pour into the streets. A potato took him one in the rear.
