C21 7 Mi i v-ittwict BdN9Maeai She ftoftg Stetoriatt. ASTORIA, OREGON: of and Tl'ESDAV. . APRIL H, 1S33 will A book is soon to bo published en titled "The First Families of the United Slates," vrealtb being the determining consideration. The trouble "with such a book "will be the necessity for a revision every time there is an important fall in stocks. Ihere should bo an appendix for the Canadian exiles. Yestebdat's London Daily Tele graph publishes a dispatch from Berlin, stating that Eussia refuses to yield an inch of the territory she has occupied on the Afghan frontier, and the czar intends to express his ap proval of General KomarofTs action by appointing him commander-in-chief in Turkestan. TiiK senatorial deadlock in the Illinois legislature is again broken bv death, for the third time. This time it is a Democratic legislator that the grim sergeant has sum moned, and as it must be three weeks before the vacancy can bo filled the friends of Jno. A Logan think the chances are in his favor. It is stated on the authority of a naval officer at Washington that the Russian minister to the United States has endeavored to secure the services of a naval officer there in purchasing a number of small vessels nsed between San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands in transporting sugar. These vessels are to be used, the officer says, in preying npon En glish commerce in Japanese and In dian waters should war be declared between Russia and England. GENKRAii STEPnEXsoN, commanding the British forces on the Nile above Cairo, i-eporta to the government that il'ivilf be nraticallv impossible to move the British troops from Don gola during the summer, because they "will have to proceed so slowly. The Nile, he says, is not navigable from March to July, and deprived of water transportation the soldiers would have to march along the river banks, over mountain spurs, bare rocks and shelterless bluffs, under a sun that would be simply destruc tive. Le Noi'd, the most rabid pro-Rus-sian newspaper in Belgium, now pre dicts "war between Bussia and En cland. Le Nord is regarded as the semi-official organ of the Russian govern tnent,and this article is believed to havo been inspired. The paper has hitherto expressed sanguine hope3 of peace, but now says war is impending. It now says the open threats and continued insults to Bus sia containod in the toasts of Ameer Abdurrahaman and Lord Dufferin were equivalent to a declaration of war, even while England was appeal ing for conciliation. The N. Y. Tribune says: At a meeting of the execntivc committee of the Oregon Railway and Naviga- toin company it was agreed that the declaration of the usual quarterly dividend should bs postponed one month in consequence of the loss of business in January by snowstorms. It was a question with the committee whetuer.it' would 'recommend a de lay or a reduction in dividend rales. It was admitted by all that business in that month was really nothing, and that the loss should be recog nized in somo way. It is understood a dividend of one and one-half per cent, will be declared next month. Ak order for six fast iron cruisers of tlie Esmeralda pattern, was re ceived in Philadelphia last Thursday. These vessels are nominally ordered by private gentlemen just as they might order a steam yacht, but they will bo for sale whdn completed, and the offers of only one European gov ernment will be entertained, and it is thought that government will be Eus sia. Three paramount features will be insisted on, nineteen knots speed and coal-carrying capacity for twenty-five days steaming, and buoyancy for three steel-rilled canon of large cali bre. The Esmeralda is registered by prospective owners of these ves sels as the highest type of war vessel that floats. It was built for Chili in England by Sir William Armstrong, and is about 4000 tons register. , - i i - A committee appointed at a meet ing' of representative Democrats of the territories waited upon the presi dent last Saturday, and presented a series of resolutions, earnestly re questing him at his earliest conven ience to look into the political and . administrative condition of the terri tories. The resolutions set forth that the people of the territories are not well -governed, and the president is requested to afford relief by placing ..."good men, citizens, respectively of ihe territories, in office. It is said by ,ome of the interested Democrats that the rule of choosing governors from actual citizens will bo adhered to in every case, but in the selection judiciary, customs and revenue land office appointments the field not be restricted. For Buch po sitions citizens of the states, as well as territories will be deemed eligible. The gradual decline of the human nose is said to be the result of the introduction and general use of the handkerchief. The Romans never used handkerchiefs, and their noses, we all know, were of the largest and finest types. Moreover, they were less liable to colds in the head than any people of the present time, and their noses enjoyed almost a sinecure. As civilization advanced northward from Italy the inhabitants of the cold and variable climate of northern Europe found that their noses were constantly called into activity, and as a consequence the average European noso fell below the Roman standard. "Within modern times the handkerchief was invented, and a now and potent factor in the reduction of noses came into existence. Constant friclicn will wear away the hardest stone, much more the soft and cartilaginous nose. Under the friction of handkerchiefs the nose3 of the present century have steadily diminished, until small noses are worn almost as much as specta cles. Chinese advertisements are not much behind those resorted to among so-called civilized tradesmen. Here is a translation of a Chinese inkmak er's shon bill at Pekinc: "At the shop Tae-shing (prosperous in the extreme), very good ink; fine! fine! Ancient shop, great-grandfather, grandfather, father and myself make this ink; fine -and hard, very hard; picked with care, selected with atten tion. This ink is heavy; so is gold The eye of the dragon glitters and dazzles; so does this ink. No one makes like it. Others who make ink make it for the sake of accumulating base coin and cheat, while I make it only for a name. Plenty of A-kwant- saes (gentlemen) know my ink my family never cheated they have al ways borne a good name. I make ink for the 'sons of heaven1 and all the mandarins in the empire. As the roar of the tiger extends to every place, so does the fame of the 'drag on's jewel.' " NEW TO-DAY. Special Mctioi Sale Thursday, April 16, 11 A. H.
