Miles for the forts and Ilwaco. Excursion tickets from As toria to Portland and return, $2.50, good till September 39th. Ex-senator Jno. H. Mitchell and Ralph M. Dement havo formed a law partner ship in Portland, under tho name of Mitchell & Dement. Tho ex-senator's friends (and they are legion) in this part of the state will" bo pleased to hear of it as an item of news, and will doubtless bear it in mind. The junior member is known as a rising star in his profession, and the senior partner's experience and ability make the combination a strong one. They have a $5,000 law library on the way, and havo finely fitted offices in Kamm's new building, northeast corner First and Pine streets. From the Oregonian it is learuod that the Br. bark Yarra Yarra, hence Feb. 12. with 40,002 ctls wheat, valued at $50,050, is believed to be lost, according to a Port Stanley advice. The bark was loaded by Balfour. Guthrie & Co., who sold the cargo on the other side. She was built at Dumbarton in 1877, register ed 1242 tons, and owned by Gracie, Beaz ley & Co., of Liverpool. Captain Earle made many friends when here, and it will bo remembered that he named his infant boy Sydney Oregon. As only wreckage was found, all hands, including .Mrs. Earle and her child, aro believed to be lost. There "was considerable talk around town yesterday about tho expense of fix ing up the enqino and hose apparatus, etc., which wore so badly stove up run ning to the upper Astoria fire yesterday morning. Business is business, and it does look kind of one-sided to make us in tho city pay tho taxes and keep up a costly fire department, and then bo at the service of our upper Astoria friends in need. Of course, it wouldn't bo Christian-liko to refuse, and our neigh bors are entitled to the fullest measure of Christian charity, but charity begins at home, and The Astoiuan only voices public opinion when it sayp that if our upper Astoria neighbors want protection to their property from fire, it is in order to stand in and share the expense. "Sal vation is free, but it costs like to run a church.' ANOTHER FIKE. The clang of the fire bell at 9:33 last night sent everyone bounding into tho streets. A brisk wind was blowing from the south and off toward tho gas works great sheets of flanio were leaping into the sky. " Tho gas works fire on fire" was on hundreds of tongues and as quick as men and horses could get tho engine there assistance went, Tho fire proved to be in a detached houso on "West Fifth street south of the gas works and close to the new Russian church. Tho house which was as dry as tinder burned fierce ly and tho wind fanned it into a furnace. In four minutes from the time tho alarm first sounded a well directed stream of water was playing on tho burning build ing and the lumber surrounding it and all danger was passed. Nothing, but the promptest action saved that part of the city from a destructive fire and tho As toria fire department though sorely crip pled by yesterday morning's disastrous experience at upper town showed what skill and training can do in promptly reaching tho ground and getting to work. The building was owned by C. W. Shively and occupied by 3Ir. Pennell. He was busy on one of theuet racks at tho water front, and his wife and chil dren wera sitting on tho front porch of the house when the fire suddenly blazed up in the rear and'made it impossible to save anything. As there had been no fire in that part of tho houso all day the . origin of the fire is a mystery. The Cushing Post Band is not going to accompany the excursion on the Gen. Miles to-day, as stated In last evening's flerald. The Bad. STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.' The silken hangings of tho Odd Fel lows' heavily Graced walls were rustling in tho morning breezo from tho Pacific yesterday morning when tho indefat igable Prof. ilcEIroy pronounced the morning benediction and outlined tho programme for tho day. Thero wa.1 not a very large attendance, for the atmos phere of Astoria is not conducive to early rising, but by the time the regular busi ness of the day wa3 taken up the hall was filled. The first thing taken up was a general discussion on "Language: methods; how much technical grammar?" which was started by Prof. Lane of Salem, who con cisely made a strong case against that system of alleged grammar where the ex ceptions are of more apparent importance than the rules. Tho gentleman was heartily seconded by several progressive teachers, who readily ceo the folly of at tempting to bind down a growing young language by the ancient forms and cast iron rules that were more app'.icablo to Greek and Latin. Mrs. McDanicls of Yamhill, Miss Tapper of "Wisconsin, and others took part in illustrating how lan guage uiaj' be taught without throwing tho popil on tho Procrustean bed of that dreadful "English grammar," whether it be Smith's, or Kirkwood's, or Peunio's,or Towne's, or Brown's, or any other ante diluvian attempt to fetter our clastic Anglo-Saxon speech. Mrs. Martin, prin cipal of tho Court-street school, ltev. M. L. ltagg of Salem, Professors Davis of Washington county, Wetzel of East Portland, riawthorno of Eugene, John sou, Miller, Baird and others gave testi mony as the spirit moved them, and the discussion was an animated one. A fine solo by Professor Parvin furnish ed an agreeable interlude, after which Mrs. Juli: F. McDaniel read an essay on "Parents in the school room." She took tho ground that parents can advance greatlj- the cause of true education by visiting the schools, bv seeing the teach ers at work, and by cultivating social re lations -with the school. After a fifteen miuuto recess, Prof. C. E. Moore, super intendent of the asylum for the blind at Salem, read an essay on "Education through the senses." Judging from his display of knowledge on the subject. Prof. Moore would seem to be the right man X THE EIGHT PL ICE. His statistics were instructive and in teresting and his listeners knew more about matters and things in connection wiih tho education of the blind when he finished than before. The afternoon session was opened by Prof. Z. M. Parvin. who spoke on "Pro gressive Music," giving practical illus trations on tho biacu-boara. 1'rof. N. Davis of Forest Grove, followed with "Events in onr Common School System." His remarks struck a responsivo chord in mo minub ui iu:iuy prescui .iuu uis illus tration of many existing defects in oar common scnool system was .orciuie. Prof. J. Emery, of the State Agricultural College, at Corvallis next lectured on "Tho Importanco of Moral Culture in our Schools." His ideas were practical, and if put in practice universally, there would not bo every year so many thous- mus or boys and girls goiug oat of tbe public schools with crammed heads and empty hands, whoa a few bright, clear ideas are needed for use in daily life. After a song and solo accompaniment by Miss Hohnan and Miss Cora Wells, Prof. JUilIer of 1'nilomatu uollcgo ottered tho following 1'ESox.UTioxa : "Whereas, It is within the province of tho teachers in tho public schools to promote tho physical, "intellectual nnd moral wenare oi society, auu WnEBEis, We believe with 1'rof. Uar- ncnter, a most able writer on this sub ject, that "of nH the causes which are at present conspiring 10 uegrauo 1110 puysi cal. intellectual and moral condition of J he mass of people there is not one to be compared in potency with tho abase of alcoholic liquor, and if this could bo done away with the removal of all other causes would bo necessarily promoted" and nlso that tho habitual use of narcot ics has a similar effect, and Wirr.nEiS, Tho last legislative assembly of the state of Oregon by an amendment of the school laws of tho state has made it tho duty of teachers in tho public school to give to all pupils suitable in struction in pli3siology and hygiene with special reference to tho effects of alco holic drinks and narcotics upon the hu man sj"stoiu, be it therefore licsolvcd, By tho State Teacher.-' Asso ciatiou of Oregon in Astoria assembled. That we aro in hearty sympthy with said amendment to our school laws; that we will faithfully do our duty in this matter as required by tho law, and that we will uso our influence otherwise to make tho law effective. After somo debate tho resolutions were adopted. Miss A. L. Dimick, of East Portland, read a fine essay on "Tho trne work of a teacher,"' and ono that is stored in tho memory of her auditors. Prof. B. J. Hawthorne, of the stato university, fol lowed in somo happily chou remarks, in which Prof Bailey joined. Prof. Mc Elroy also rose to remark that "when the legislature prescribed a partial code of morals to be taught in our schools thejT forgot to say anything about polite ness." After that tho teachers went to dinner. The evening session brought the large audience that is so substantial an evidence of appreciation, and after tho delicate rendition of somo instrumental music, Prof. McElroy introduced tho lec turer, ltev. Dr. ii. w. liarner, u. u., who proceeded to give his views on AUEBICAK LITEBATUBK. His purpose, ho said, was not to at tempt tho history nor tho vindication of American literature, but to adventure such remarks upon it as may have been suggested by reading and reflection. Unquestionably the truest distinction and glory of nations must bo sought in their literature. In it they survive tho longest and by mean3 of it they achieve tho most enduring victories. Tho vic tory of armies is evanescent; the conflict dies away like the throes of tho volcano or the rage of tho storm, but the chroni cles of tho ago aro enduring. Aristotle outlives Alexander and Shakespeare is more famous than the monarchs of his time. Oratory is powerful, it sways the minds of men as docs tho wind tho trees of tho forest; there is magic in the voice, but persuasion passes away with tho sound of the speaker's utterance. In death tho voice loses its music, tho eye its fire. Nothing is left of tho eloquence of Peri cles, or Bolingbroko or Patrick Henry, which onco roused mon like a clarion and reigned supremo in tho senate hall of nations. The eloquence of DEMOSTHENES, CICZUO, CLAY, WESSTEE, Survives only in their recorded speeches. Literature has been called the immor tality of speech. To it belongs the task of embalming thoughts, sentiments, and speech of those regal intellects who though dead still rule our spirits from their urns. Books havo proved them selves monuments more enduring than bras3 or marble. The Parthenon is in ruins, but time has proved the Biad; the statutes of Praxiteles and Phidias are but mutilated torsos, while the tragedies of JEschylGS and the odes of Pindar are still admired. Borne and its glory sur vive, not in tho golden palace of Nero, nor in temples nnd theaters but in the works of Virgil, Horace and Tacitus. Have we, in tki3 country a national literature? The American revolution effected only a political divorce. Tho United States never lifted the standard of revolt in tho realms of thoughtnor renounced their inheritance in British literature. They still dwell with prido upon its great names as of one blood with themselves. Shakespeare, Milton, Bacon, Locke, are not foreign authors; thev are moro liko patron saints, and tho old" English Biblo ranks among tho classics; its influenco on our literature is transcended only by its influence on our religion. It is a wonderful specimen of tho strength and music of the Anglo Saxon language: it is a rich inheritance bequeathed to this and successive genera tions. If we look for the productions o American literature, for nower and fruit indigenous to the soil, we must ba con vinced that our labor is rewarded. The first stages of American national life were not favorable for literary growth, but the notion secm3 to be among Eu ropeans that a commercial and demo cratic stato was unfitted to foster arts and literature. Great poets and great thinners appear oniy nc distant intervals to mark the epochs of history. They aro as the flowering of tho national mind, once in a century. Their mission is to disclose new facts in nature, to carry the human mind a step forward in its pro gress. American literature is not poer: in theology may be mentioned Edwards, Hopkins, D wight, Davies; in history, Ban croft and Prescott; in eloquence and or atory, Clay and Webster; hction is repre sented by "Irving, Cooper, Holmes, Haw thorne; poetry, by Bryant, Percival, Willis, Wbittier, Longfellow. Foreign critics have long been looking for our representative man: for him who shall be the best exponent of our liter ature, thought, stylo and spirit. In some quarters Emerson is regarded as tho nearest appreach: a thoroughly indepen dent nnd original man, ho derived his in spiration from our own woods and hills and streams. His genius is thoroughly democratic. He aims to translate tho spirit of tho new world nnd its free insti tutions into tho language of an ideal philosophy. We can appreciate Emer son, butfew of us can follow where he leads. His genius is too eccentric nnd peculiar, his temper too cynical, his tone too confident. Dr. Garner hero entered upon an elab orate disquisition that is worthy of re production, but to which time and space forbid mor? thnu passing reference. Ho held as false the idea that the race of Titans is extinct; or should one appear thero remains no work for him to do. All tho themes of interest for great his tories, great iems, are not appropriated I nor exhausted. Tho earth and life aro ! not tamo nor barren. Materials for song j aud story can never bo wanting, so long as nature and the unfathomable heart of man remain. Not tho materials but the , genius to employ them that is wanting. I Thero are nobler strains of poetry than I any that have yet been sounded, as thero aro UNSUNNED QUAUKIES CF ilAUDLE ' That only await tho fashioning hand of tho sculptor. It is said that in this land , nothing is venerable nothing to give us tho impression of nntiquity. True, we have no hoary ruins, but wa have the an-1 tiquities of God. Tho architecture of the heavens, tho constellations there shining, the mountains of tho continent, I the great streams and forests; tho glori-i OU3 landscapes: though our land is desti- j tute of tho fancied charm that attends history in an atmosphere surrounding ivied ruins. There is, indeed, eloquence J in the brokon column nnd the crumbling ! arch which speech cannot hopo to rival, i but the soul is tho urn of bzauty: thero I is romance in the poct'a art; genius is creative: imagination beautifies, exalts' aud glorifies inanimate nature and ' clothes mountain and valley, rock and ' river, lake and cataract with her own ' rainbow hues; all she touches she conso- I crates. j To fitly sing the glories of oar country ' wo must wait in patience for the coming ' man. It is said that our literatnro has1 been too tame, too spiritless, too imit-at- I lve. 1 bey say it is but the echo of voices from across tho Atlantic: our own land, it L? said, is the native homo of the mock ing bird that steals the songs of all other J oiros, out, nas none oi its own. xiieso complaints are wearying and are not worth answering. We can only ask the discerning reader, the unprejudiced crit ic to examine our American literature and decide fairly. Tho futuro of our literaturo must be determined by the character and destiny of our nation. If the magnificent dreams of those who cast tho horoscopo of its future shall be realized, thero will soon ba on this continent a nation of a hun dred millions of freemen, recognizing the samo government and speaking the same language. With resources that mock at tho world's wealth; with capa bilities of power pnd progress that oat strip all calculation and with a position of unequaled grandeur our fondest hopes must be realized. Tho speaker's ideal of what our literaturo should be is that it should possess Hcbrow simplicity and strength, aud Greeksymmetryandgrr.ee. It should bo a joint product of Anglo-Saxon practicalness and Oriental searing: its noblest tributes should bo paid the cross of Christ and around that sym bol of inan'd redemption its greenest gar lands should bo ever hung. Dr. Garner spoke with great energy nnd force of manner. At tho conclusion of his address Mrs. J. B. Wyatt, Mrs. C. S W. Fulton. Mr. V. A. ilclntosh and Jlr. J. N. Griffin sang " My own native land" in a manner that elicited enthusiastic applause. The essayist of the evening was Mrs. Florence E. Martin, principal of tho school in district No. Ono. Her essay was on "Tho Aims and Ends of Education." It treated of tho education of tho body, tho necessity of a sound, healthy body, of a physical ground work, of muscular stamina; then the education of the mind, the educing, tho drawing out of the mental powers of the individual. Tho third div ision of tho essay, the education of the heart, had just been reached when tho clang of the fire bell- caused a stampede of thoso nearest tho stairs and tho hasty exit of most of the malo members of tho audience, Mrs. Martin's essay remaining unfinished. After this disagreeable incident was over a duct, "Life's dream is o'er" was executed in splendid style by Mrs. J. B. Wyatt, of this city, and Miss Lizzie An derson, of East Portland. Those who were not present missed hearing one of tho finest duets ever sung in Astoria. This was followed by a 6olo, "It was a dream," by Miss Maggie Brcdull, of East Portland, which preceded a humorous selection, "Laugh and grow fat," by Prof. Z. M. Parvin, which was enthusi astically received, after which tho large audience dispersed. SSucJi ten's Arnica Salve.

A young lady in Port land caught her father in a rash promise by a knowledge of this fait on her part. She modestly proposed that if her father would only give her 1 cent 'on ono day and double that amount on each succes sive day for just ono month, sho would pledge herself never to ask of him an other cent of money as long as she livod. Not stopping to run over the figures in his head, and not supposing it would amount to a largo sum, he was glad to accept the offer at once, thinking it also a favorable opportunity to includo a pos sible marriage dowry in tlie future. On the twenty-fifth day ho became greatly alarmed lest if he complied with his own acceptance he might bo obliged to bo "declared a bankrupt on his own peti tion." But on the thirtieth day this young lady demanded only tho pretty little sum of $5,3G8,70G.12. Tho aston ished merchant was only too happy.to cancel tho claim by advancing a hand some cash payment for his folly in allow ing himself to give a bond for his word he considered as good as his bond with out noticing tho consideration therein expressed, and by promising to return to tho old custom of advancing smaller sums daily until otherwise ordered.

Tho pack last year was 100,000 cases and under tho most fav orable conditions it i3 hardly probably that a pack of more than half that volume can bo made this season.
