Less than a score of men are employed and the wages paid 1.75 a day are not re markably attractive. The two remaining scows were launched last "Wednesday and all four are now ready for use. George H. Durham has been appointed by Judge Deady, Judge Sawyer concur ring, as master and examiner in chan cery of the U. S. circuit court, "with power and authority to do and perform all acts and things pertaining to said office, and with right to demand, take, and have all lawful compensation there for." Tho services at tho missionary convo cation yesterday in Grace church were very well attended, and were of great in terest.

He was out in the field gunning, and was engaged in load ing1 one barrel of tho gun when tho other was discharged, the entire charge of shot entering the side just abovo tho hip, pro ducing death at once. N. M. Bell, nephow of H. S. Rell of this city, has been appointed superintendent of foreign mails. Ho went in for second assistant postmaster general, but came out with a pretty good billet. He will be remembered by a good many Saleinites, as a former clerk for his uncle in that city. The position is worth $3,000 a year; thero is 9,720 patronage attached to it in the way of clorkships, etc, Northern Pacific officials say that no action will be taken upon tho Oregon Railway and Navigation lease until April 23, when the directors meet. Committee meetings may bo hold in the interim, but nothing pertaining to the lease can bo done or even formally discussed. It is said the Northern Pacific and Union Pa cifio have reached an understanding re garding the O. R. fc N. Co.'s property to such an extent that they will not bid against each other to secure possession of it. A littlo boy went lately to school for the first time, and on his return admit ted that he had enjoyed himself, but de clared vehemently that ho should not go again. He seemed full of real terror, and his mother judiciously waived tho question until the soothing and confiden tial hour of bedtime, when she extracted tho explanation. It camo out that tho teacher had informed him that she pro posed to "put an idea into his head' tho next morning. The word "idea" was ouo ho had uevor beforo heard, and ho fancied it to be some new and formida ble kind of edge-tool as, indeed, it is. The Queen of Vie Pacific case, which is tho suit of Capt. Geo. 1 lavol and others brought against Goodall, Perkins fc Co., brought against the above-named vessel for salvage, has occupied the attention of Judge Sawyer much of tho time he has been sitting in tho U. S. circuit court hero, says yesterday'B Orcgonian, Tho argu ment was finally concluded and the cause submitted. Judge Sawyer will tako tho papers with him to California and will render a decision at his earliest conven ience. Tho pending case is an appeal by tho defendant from tho opinion of Judge Deady, who awarded the plaintiffs 6i, 000 salvage, to be divided among tho tugs and men who were engaged in the work of rescuing the steamship from her per ilous position on the sands of Clatsop spit. Tho appeal is virtually not taken by tho owners of the vessel, but by tho underwriters, tho London Insurance com pany. The owners do not care how much the splvage amount to so long as the insurance company has to pay it. The latter, although they havo agreed to pay all such losses, wage a bitter war in the oourt3 against tho poor fellows who risked their lies to save property from destruc tion. Tho insurance company does not fieem to stop and think that if it had not been for these mon they would havo had to jwiy for the loss of tho entire vessel. Found. Meerschaum pipe.

Advices from Constantinople are to the effect that it is believed at the Turkish capital that Russia is craftily seeking to gain time only to complete all prepara tions for a march on Herat and the cap ture of that city. Turkey considers her self of great importance, for in the Berlin treaty of 1873 the complete coutrol of the Dardanelles was solemnly assured her.

Alto gether about 1,200 fish was taken. Owing to n Hht market demand, the city can uers secured five-sixth of ihe catch, and on "Wednesday commenced packing. Two or three weeks ago, packers of Sac ramento river fish r.tu.nptcd to make a combination to regulate the price of ma terial and up to last Saturday it was sup posed that their plans would be carried to a successful cousmnaiiou, but on thut day one of theii number positively re fused to sign the compact, and tho packers who had signed were notified that thsy were released from their obligation. As a consequence the city packers were com pelled to day 3c per iiound for their fish last Tuesday. At this price the canned goods will cost at least lK)c per dozen, nnd it is doubtful if they would net that to packers through the season. Packers are figuring more closely on cost prices than ever before. Small items of cost which heretofore have been disregarded, have assumed considerable importance-ill tho eyes of managers and there is n de termination that the season of 1835 shall not result in a repetition of tho discour aging losses of 1833 and 2884. - - Cal. Grocer and tanner, 10. Cheap Salmon Affectta? the Market. New Youk, April 11. Columbia river salmon are dull at 1.20 (it 1.35 as to brand. Notwithstanding Pacific coast stocks aro reported very light, sales have been made of good Columbia river brands at SL12K delivered hero by rail. This is probably duo to the cut-rate ob tained by shippers from the railroad com pany. Retailers hero aro selling two one-pound tins for twenty-five cents. Some are moving fifty cases per week, the brands covering Alaska packed, wnicn is of good color and texture, but lacking in oil and flavor. Nevertheless it displaces a certain amount of Columbia river stock. It is a question, however, if in the end this cheaper or inferior salmou will not canse consumers to lose confidence in the article or rather tiro of it as a frequent diet. Tho demand for salmon is satisfactory and it is evident that tho public is grad ually returning to a. recognition of tno true value of this article, or diet. The quality of Columbia river salmon should lead to an immense trado when the pre judice is ended, and it is reported by grocers generally that tho consumption is steadily increasing.

Captain Behrman committed suicide in a room over the City Brewery saloon, 29 North Front fctrcet, at G o'clock yester day .morning. Behrman had been drink ing somewhat the previous night, and retired about 7:30 r. m. A little before G o'clock yesterday morning he called up Fred Lindoko. whose room ho was occu pying, nnd asked to bo allowed to sleep till morning. Ho then asked Lindeke to get him a glass of whisky. Tho latter returned in about two minutes, and saw blood oozing from a wound directly in front of Bohrman's right ear two inches below the temple.

A Tihtcs' cable special from London says: "Last even ing I had a long talk with Lessar, special Russian agent here, who, in the eyes of tho British public, is tho very embodi ment of the geniu3 of Muscovite intrigue and deviltry. It must be admitted that ho conceals the alleged cloven hoof with great skill, and that if England's" agents abroad aro half so genial and approach able, then England might not bo the best hated race in Europe. He is quilo a young man, speaking very bad English with much fluency. Of that portion of the talk referring to the chances of war very little need be said. He thought if the fight had not taken place the nego tiations between the two countries would now be almost settled. As it was, while the outbreak made affairs more difficult, still ho believed satisfactory results could bo reached. "Unquestionably," he said, "There must havo been grave provoca tion from tho Afghans to induce such summary action on the part of Genet al KotrturotL Had it been n young man like Alikhanoff, although he is not no reckless as he has been described to be. the alfair would havo been different, but Komaroff is discretion itself." It being clear in Lessar;; mind that the Afghans were to blame, it secmi-d evident to him that when the affair was explained negotiations would bo resumed and a good result would be reached. "Russia does not want India,' said he. "None but a few adventurous spirits over think of such a thing; but if wo did, would wo' not be fools to attack tho Af ghans needlessly and make them ene mies when we might mako them friends? Our purpose is simply to get control over iuo x enjueu country lor our owu protec tion and to prevent its being a rendez vous for Turcoman robbers. It is neces sary for us to have this, of course, but we want no moro there. Having come olose to an organized power, we can rest in peacp a groat many years, we guar anteeing one side of the desert and En gland the other." When the talk drifted from this well threshed subject to tho possible war Les sar said many interesting things. "If it is war,' he said, "I cannot discuss what would ho done in the Baltic or Black seas. Tliat would bo out of my province, but I do know about Central Asia. The Russians would probably not go beyond Herat, but would wai for the En glish to come to them, well knowing that their armv would be dostroj-ed in Af ghanistan for the Afghans fight anybody who enters their country, no matter what professions the invaders make, the Af ghans.do not like tho Enslish. They do not like the Russiaus. They like only themselves. You see already tho ameer has advised against the entrance of the British troops. He knows well that he would be knocked off his throno head long if ho became a party to such an in vasion. If tho English come to Herat they must fight their way. Tho English know already what that means. Of course, the ameer has been in India to ask for more money, but that money is a bribe for peace with India and not for war with us. He would take money from us if it was not our rule never to pay subsidies. The khau of Khiva pays tribute to us instead of our paying him. Our rule is the only sensible one, for, like blackmail, once begun paying, thero never comes an end to paying." "As for the talk of tho war party in Russia," continued Lessar, "there is a far greater war party here, made up of Indian officers who always want a com bat. If wo fight -it must be Russian monev that will pay tho expense, but if they light it will be Indian money. That makes a great difference. They are mis -taken, too. about Indian troops. They cannot stand for a minute against Rus sian soldiers scarcely more than can tho poor Afghans, who aro extremely J brave, bat doomed before regular forces. Only English .soldiers are our equals, and only very few of those woulu get inrougu tin- bloody jwisses of Alghanistan to meet us. Yet this most changeable populace, which prides itself on sobriety and is tho most fickle and exoiteable in the world, has a fit now of believing that it would drive us to the Caspian without difficulty. My comfort is that in a few days they will have dropjed this craze for some other, just as they forgot Khartoum in two weeks. You see, in a fortnight you shall come and remark to me that tin has been forgotten too." ''Unless," I said, 'yon get your pass ports meanwhile." 1 Ho smiled, saying. "There is no danger of that;' but I-'funcy he.doos think there is danger of if. arid though ono can read in this evening's Pall Hull Gazelle about tho prospects of peace, still everybody thinks there is danger of war.

Afterns will come anoth er generation, who, if they find our state. standing shoulder to shoulder with her sister states in the buttle of development and material prosperity, tiirough our wise legislation, will rise tin aud call us ble-.s- ed.

Cutter and water are two ele ments that do not go together except as equal partners, and if tho boat was full of water thero would havo been no room for J. H.
