Cashing Post Cornet band, under tho able leadership of Mr. Utzingcr, is fast attaining proficiency in tho rendition of popular music; Clara Louise Kellogg will appear in ooncert here on September 2nd. She has long been our leading American singer and will have a large audience in Astoria. Great clouds of smoke rolled into town last night from outside fires and the air was as smoky as a year ago. Bar pilots report the smoke and fog thick at the mouth of tho river. Last Tuesday was the hottest day ever known in eastern "Washington. At Rip aria the thermometer registered 112, at Dayton 105, at Walla Walla 103, at Wullula 10.1, at Umatilla 103 and at Pen dleton 103. It has been decided in tho courts that if a partner of a dissolved firm neglects to give notico through tho newspaper of a dissolution of partnership, he is equally liable witbMiis partner for all debts con tracted after dissolution. Jno. Exon came over from Shoalwater bay in a plunger yesterday. He started Tuesday morning and put out a sea net, catching several hundred pounds of fine hake and sole, which found ready sale at the foot of Cass street. Just after tho Fourth of July it was telegraphed from Jacksonville that a party of thirty-two persons there had been poisoned by eating ico cream. It now transpires that they all reoovered except a Miss Alice Forey, who died from tho effects of the poisoning last Friday. Tho Oregon export fleet of 18Sl-'& is arriving out in good shape: sixteen ves sels oleared in January for England, all of which arrived safely in average pass ages of 133 days: eighteen vessels cleared in February, of which two, tho Yarra Yarra and Perthshire were wrecked. In March, eight cleared, all of which have made their homo port in safety. Thero were but two clearances in April, the Ken ton and Eoslin Castle, which aro liable to be reported any day as having arrived. Real Estate Sale At two o'clock this afternoon, at up per Astoria, E. C. Holden will offer at publio auction a valuable water frontage and several eligible building lots. This sale will test tho present value of real es tate in that locality. Two or three years ago property in that locality was in great demand at fair prices. Five thousand dollars cash was paid for a similar water frontage about that time. Sinco then a cluster of houses sufficient to constitute n good sized village has been erected, yet wo doubt if the property to be sold will realize as much in proportion as it did three years ago. Real estp te is not boom ing just now, bat wo have no doubt prop erty will come up again. Now is tho timo to invest or buy a lot for n homo, while real estate is low. That Insurance "Compact.' In tho San Francisco newspapers ap pears tho advertisement of the Transat lantic insurance company of Hamburg, that it has withdrawn from the compact. Insuranco rates in Astoria, have, in somo instances, dropped over twenty-five per cent, in the last thirty days. Denial of this is useless. The Astoeian knows what it is talking about. Everybody is glad to know that tho cinch is busted. The m surance companies have had a good thing on Astoria, and while Astoria is glad to know that comparative immunity from fire has allowed them to make handsome ly on Astoria premiums, nevertheless it is satisfactory to know that the high rates of the last eighteen inonthB are no longer possible. Tbe Right Kind of Immigrants. There is considerable immigration to this county and land is being steadily occupied. The men that come are wel come; they bring a littlo money, they take up land with a view to settle here and make a home. Near Knappa, sever al new places are being cleared. This is the kind of immigration that Clatsop county wants. It benefits tho county and benefits the new comers. Thero aro enough hero already of bummers and chaps "looking for work," and hoping they won't find it. A Load of Fish. The plunger Elenaoi Oysterville, come in yesterday morning with 1,230 pounds of fish, comprising hake, halibut, floun ders, rock cod, sole, dog, devil, rat, fiat, white, and other kinds of fish, which went off like hot cakes, realizing a hand some sum to the owners over 100.

Get your photographs taken at Crow's gallery by W. Lussior of San Francisco MORE COMMENT. Regarding the 3Iost Important of Fresent Questions. Tho Columbia ought to bo open to the sea. This would inlerfero somewhat with Portland's prosperity, bat the peo ple of the inland empire havo a right to a water outlet for their produce. New NorUnccst, G. The Astouiax has been doing sonio fine work in showing np tho advantages of Astoria over Portland as a shipping port. Tacoma Ledger, 14. The contest between Portland, Astoria anu tho Paget Sound as shipping ports is one between artificial and natural ad vantages. Portland has an excellent business situation near the conjunction of the Columbia and Willamette, and will probably always be the chief city of Oregon. It has also tho capital and pres tige to assist in maintaining its position, but as a shipping point it has no special natural advantages. It is situated twelve miles from the mouth of the Willamette, which enters the Columbia 110 miles from the sea. The navigation of tho Willam ette below tho city is restricted by fand bars which requiro considerable atten tion to keep the channel clear. These obstacles aro avoided by Astoria, which has only to contend with the bar of tho Columbia, which, howevor, is in itself a serious hindrance. Tho Columbia and Snake rivers afford magnificent facilities for transportation iron tho sea to tho Idaho line, with occasional interruptions from falls and rapids. Thcso obstacles aro surmountable by locks and canals, which aro demanded by tho Astorians, with an implication that the work has hitherto been kept back by tho influence of Portland and railroad money. That is quite probable, as both would lose tho advantage they now hold by tho opening of the river, the railroad us a non-coni-petitivo carrier, and tho city as tho cen ter of the export trado of tho inland empire, as eastern Oregon and Washing ton are called. San Francisco Bulletin, 11. OXE WAY TO HELP. "Now lot me tell you that I have been in business hero for several years, and before that in other places, too, nud I believe I know what I am talking about when I say that, if everybody would pay the bill ho owes to his neighbor once in thirty days, or upon presentation, thero would be very little of what wo call hard times. Tho man who owes a dollar and has got it to pay, but hangs to it, pre vents the payment of a great many debts. The journey that a dollar trav els tho first week of the mouth, and the timo it makes, as wo say when we talk of rpco horses, would surprise tho man who never investigated. 1 marked a dollar onco and kept track of it a few days, requesting each man to keep a record of whom it was received by him and to whom paid. Before it disap peared, about tho end of tho first week of the month, it hfd paid between twenly-fivo and thirty dollars in debts. Not long ago I presentod a bill of about forty dollars to a man abundantly ablo to pay it. I knew ho had tho money. But he looked scared and said, 'I can't collect my bills, and so I can't pay, you know; wait a while. Now that forty dollars bo longed to mo, but ho had it in his posses sion, and of course 1 couldn t lake it away from him. I he had paid it to me, as ho ought to havo done, I should have paid it out almost immediately, and tho chances nro that it woald havo baca kept going, and by this time havo paid ten times its valuo in debts." Exchange. Got em or Sulucford. The newly appointed governor of Alas ka, Mr. A. P. Swiuoford, of tho Mar quette (Mich.) Mining Journal, is noted as a joker and for getting back to tho home stako in repartee. Secretary Ho tch kiss, of the Lumberman's Exchange, having to write Swineford recently on business matters, took occasion to com miserate him on his forthcoming resi dence among tho icebergs and grizzlies of Alaska, advised him to get hislifo well insured for tho benefit of mankind in gencr.il, and hoped a kind Provideuca would project him from tho ludiain, and especially the Kcssiau bear, and permit his going on pleasure "exertions" to Si beria or tho North Pole, etc, etc. Swinc ford's reply is characteristic: "Thanhs for your sympathy. Igo where I will have cool breezes and a temperature of not more than 7." degrees in summer aud an averago of i)8 degrees above zero in winter. Go buy you a geography or cy clopaedia aud then let me hear from vou again. If after you see a pieco of red or yellow Alaska cedar, cut Irom trees rang ing in diameter from throe to nino feet, you want to keep on handling scrub pine from Wisconsin and Michigan, just keep at it, and you will havo the sympathy of yours, truly, A.

Dawuo camo to Oregon some where about 1870, from Arkansas, aa preacher in tho M. E. church, south. Governor Grover, A. Bush and other Sa Icmltcs, though not of his religions be lief, contributed to the erection of n church for him, which was free of debt tho day it was dedicated to worship. At that time, says tho M'clcome, ho was known ns "Doctor' Dawne, liko tho re cent pastor of a Portland church and on being questioned regarding his title to D. D., said that ho was note theological graduate, but that the title" "doctor" re ferred to his being a full-blown medicus. He soon after began lecturing in the uni versity of tho Willamette as a professor of clinics, materia medica, or something of the kind, and was tho most popular lecturer in the university. About this timo Syl Simpson and he were candidates in opposition to each other for tho nomi nation of superintendent of public in struction in the Democrat io convention, and ns the un terrified felt that they owed something to tho religious element, Dawne was nominated. Syl Simpson immediately rushed to pon and ink nad began war on his successful opponent that ended in his defeat the only man, wo think, on tho Democratic ticket who was made to suffer. It soems that when Mr. Dawno's diploma from tho medical college was called for, it had unfor tunately been "burned in a firo down south," and no word was received from tho college from which ho is said to have graduated th?t his namo appeared on tho list of nn alumnus. Tho gentleman who has come into such sudden national notoriety then resigned from tho church and university, and began tho study of law. Ho read hard, posted himself thor oughly in tho Oregon code, and passed according to one of the judges of tho supremo court a first-class examination. While professorhopaid attention to Miss Miller, daughter of Scotch Miller, a wealthy citizen of the state capital who was taking a thorough courso in tho clas sics', and eventually married her. Sinco that time or rather ns soon as Mr. Dawne made peaco with his father-in-law, a free thinker and very independent sort of man, ho appeared as fiduciary agent for his new relative in tho lending of somo $S0,0C0. Tho following story told about Dawne, is not generally be lieved. When called upon as a witness against the character of a client of Ben Hayden's in Polk county, that eccentric lawyer made tho following peroration to a bitter philippic: "Who is Dawne? A preacher without a congregation, a doc tor without a diploma, a money lender without a cent." " Grossest Jlan in Alabama." "De crossest man in Alabama lives dar," said tho driver as wo approached a way-side homo near Selma, Ala., to ask accommodations for the night. At supper, and after it, "mine host" scowled at every one, found fault with everything earthly, and I was wondering if ho would not growl if the heavenly halo didn't fit him, when incidental mention being made of the comet of 1SS2, he said: "I didn't liko its form; its tail should have been fan shaped!" But next morning he appeared half offended at our offering pay for his hospitality 1 My companion, how ever, made him accept as a present a sample from his case of goods. Six weeks later, I drew up at the same house. The planter stepped lithely from the porch, and greeted mo cordially. I could scared' be lieve that this clear complexioned, bright eyed, animated fellow, and the moroso being of a fow weeks back, were tho samo. He inquired after my companion of tho former visit and regretted he was not with me. "Yes," said "his wife, "we are both much indebted to him." "How?" I asked, in surprise. "For this wonderful change in my Juisband. Your friend, when leav ing, handed him a bottle of "Warner's Safe Cure. He took it, and two other bottles, and now " "And now," ho broke in, "from an ill-feeling, growl ing old bear, I am healthy and so cheerful my wife declares she has fallen in love with mo again!"

TOD KNOW HOW IT IS YOURSELF. When things run smoothly and my men tal sky Is clear of clouds and there's no causo for sighs, That is, when all is lovely end serene, then I Philosophize Bat when the littlo ills of Ufa appear To pester, worry, and pile care on care; When mere existenco is sandpapered, ns it were. Why, then I swear. When on tho right side is my bpnk ac count, And great good luck my efforts seora to crown, Then upward toward the sky my spirits mount; I own the town. But when misfortunes never seem to let Up on me, and each move appears a blunder, And life seems one "demnition grind," I get As mad as thunder. 'Tis eo with most; wo all can smile at strife, At cares and trials from which wo aro free; And calmly reason o'er tho ills of lifo We never see. But when the clouds ob3curo our daily skies, And evils from Pandora's box fly thick. Instead of stopping to philosophize We mostly kick. An Ohio Girl's Feet. In a show-case in John street, says the Now York correspondent of tho Detroit Free Press, is a pair of shoes that attract considerable attention. They aro in tended for Miss Fannio Mills of Sandus ky, Ohio, who has becomo famous by the vastsizoof her feet. Tho shoos aro No. 29, and owing to the fact that Miss Mills has reached the age in which society de mands part of her time, tbe shoes will be the first dress shoes made for her. They aro made of three goat skins, and are capable of making eight pairs of ordin ary ladies' shoes. They aro cork soles and button tops. Their length is nine teen inches, tho width seven and a half inches. Tho waists of tho shoes aro eighteen and a half inches, instep nine teen and a half, the ball nineteen inches. Tho top of tho shoes reaches to tho calf, and measures in circumference twenty and a half inches. Tho heels are five and a half inches in width and four in ches in length. Four chamois skins wero used in lining them. Tho shoes, though plainly made cost $45. Miss Mills is a blonde and pretty, weight 1C0 pounds and is of ordinary height. Her father is a well-to-do farmer and, it is said, will givo $5,000 and a farm to tho man who will marry her. A LIBERAL OFFER.
