5 H) ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY NOV K.M Wilt VJ. 1SS5 Skating at lioss' opera house to night. It is impossible to photograph a diamond. Regular drill, company H., O. S. M., to-night. The line to the cape was not work ing yesterday. The Statesman chronicles "a cure for rabbits." Never had 'em. What are they like? measles? The independent club will meet at O'Brien's new building at eight o'clock, this Thursda) evening. Kev. Alfred Johnson will preach in English in the upper Astoria Epis copal chapel at 7:30 this evening. Who owns the state? The people. Who owns the people? The politi cians. Who owns the politicians? The It only costs fifteen cents to have this paper left at your door for a week, the biggest fifteen cents worth you can get. The Astohian would like to know who it is intended shall be nominated at the meeting to-morrow night. Or does any one know?' Bates says that a pair will beat four of a kind whsn the pair are two smart men, and the four of a kind are green in politics. The Republican Central committee advertise a meeting at the court house at half past seven to-morrow evening to nominate a candidate for mayor. Every newspaper received from Oregon or Washington since Sunday, deprecates the Oreyon tali's attack upon the people's choice John H. Mitchell. There will be a sociable at the resi dence of Mrs. E. 0. Holden this even ing, under the auspices of the ladies of the Presbyterian church. A gen eral invitation is extended. "How will vou have your eggs?" "Boiled, if yon please." "Better that you have them scrambled. They are very good for the scramble, but very bad" for the boil." He took them scrambled. A new apportionment bill has been introduced in the house. It provides that Clatsop county shall Lave a sen ator and Clatsop, Columbia and Tilla mook one jointly ; and that this coun ty shall have three representatives. There was considerable of a breeze early yesterday morning, and the miserable apology for a telegraph line tumbled to pieces worse than ever. Won't some one loan the com pany a little piece of baling rope to splice a couple of broken poles. The Western Union Telegraph, company declared a ten per cent div idend on $GO,000,000 last year. The original stock was 10,000,0000: so that they really made 6,000,000 or sixty per cent Won't some one please Jean the company $4.65 so they can repair the lino to Astoria? In the absence of telegraphic news it is futile to speculate on the result, but it may be said that a failure on the part of the present session to elect would jeopardize Republican control in the U. S. senate. The Or egorrian, whose motto is rule or ruin, would rather see a Democrat elected than Mitchell, the choice of tho peo ple. It has been found by experiment, says the Oregonian, that mails from San Francisco arrive in six hours less time by way of tho Union Pacific Snort Line and Oregon Railway & Navigation roads than by the Oregon & California. The time by tho latter route is four days, one hour and thirty minutes, while by the "longest way round'' they arrive here in three days, nineteen hours aud thirty min utes. It will be interesting, says the News, to know that the forged letters now being used by the Oregonian against Mitchell, were first offered to Hill of the same paper, for a money consideration. Hill told the scoun drel who offered them, that he could not remain in a room disgraced by the presence of a villain black enough to barter away the good name of a lady, and at once kicked him out of his office. At a Democratic caucus in Salem Tuesday night seven teen expressed their desire to vote for Mitchell. A resolution was passed allowing them to vote for Mitchell when their votes would elect him, and declaring that such action would not be censured. When Mitchell gets twenty-nine Republican votes the seventeen Democrats will join with them in giving the forty-six necessary to an election. From the cape and Ilwaco reports come of a severe gale there yesterday morning. The roads are rendered impassable by fallen timber, and sev eral minor casualties are reported. It is believed that we only got the soft side of the storm, and that a few miles out at sea the fury of the wind was terrific. The surf on the coast was tumbling madly in yesterday morning and the wild waste of waves looked ominous for vessels too near shore. It all depends on how you look at life. From the pilot house of the river steamer, at a certain turn in the river just before you enter the Wil lamette, on a clear morning, when all conditions are favoraole, one with good eyesight can see five grand peaks St. Helens, Adams, Jefferson, Hood and Rainier. Now, the man with a clear conscience, and a good di gestion, can take more solid enjoy ment in looking at that magnificent scene from the hands of the Almighty than Scott would in the knowledge that he had beaten Mitchell. PERSONAL. Hon. C. W. Fulton, of this city, got a complimentary vote for TJ. S. sena tor last Tuesday. Hon. A. D. Bowen is in the city, on his wsy to Olympia, where the terri torial legislature will shortly meet. REFERRED TO THE JCDICIARV COH-MITTKi:. Salem, Nov. 17. Bill No. 56, intro duced by Reed, legalizing certain debts contracted by school districts, came up. Rsed explained that the bill was to make valid beyond any question certain bonds issued by the Astoria school district during the year 1SS3 in building a new school house. Reed wanted the rules sus pended ana the bill placed on its final passage. Myers objected to such hurried action. Siglin also objected. He said it was a bill legalizing the illegal (?J acts o thp Ast ria district directors, and he hoped the bill would be referred. Al though local in its nature, it would be liable to affect other districts throughout the state. On motion of Myers the bill was referred to the judiciary committee. TrKSDAY'S YOTi: FOR l S.

InU of Representation N'o Crank Di'iua-w'ne "Wanted Important lurtioiw to he Cent ered Seriously. A call for an anti-Chinese and la bor convention of the representative assemblies of the Knights of Labor, trades and labor unions and gran gers' associations has been issued by District Assembly No. 53. Knights of Labor, which is addressed "to the poople of the Pacific coast states and territories." The convention will be held in San Francisco, at B'nai B'rith hall, Monday, November HOth. The basis of representation i3 given as follews: Three for each local assem bly of the Knights of Labor, and three delegates from all bona fide trade and labor organizations. All branches of skilled and unskilled labor, at present unorganized, will be entitled to one representative each, when indorsed by at least twelve per sons following the same occupation. male or female. All females affected in any way will please send delegates in tho above manner, as we desire for both seres equal f ay for equal work. Secretaries of organizations sending delegates will please forward their names to the chairman of. this com mittee. John Payne, Box 239 Station B, San Francisco, on or before Sat urday November 28,1833. Delegates to the District Assembly, No. 53, will be admitted to the convention. It is intended that this convention shall be of a decidedly practical and non politicul character. Denunciations of individuals, violent remarks or suggestions will not be tolerated, hence it is particularly requested that no organization will send as del egates any politicians, demogogues, cranks or hobbyists, as such persons would undoubtedly create inharmony and defeat the"objects which is our earnest desire to attain." The call sets forth that "after repeat ed efforts on our part to secure state and national legislation, supported by the unanimous voice of the work ingmen of the country, two succes sive administrations, both state and national, have dared to declare their will superior to that of the people, and it is now only too apparent that no relief of any character need be expected from that quarter. The fraudulent Chinese restriction act, as construed, is a burlesque, practiced upon the people. The state constitu tion, when adopted, proposed to rem edy the evil affecting the industrial masses from the direct competition with convict labor after three years of operation. We find through the management of the former and present directors we do not get the relief intended. They tax the com munity to board and lodge the criminal free, and sell his labor so as to enter into competition with the same labor as the honest, law-abiding citizens that have families to support. Now, as matters stand, it i3 referred back to the people. That is as it should be, as the people of every community Lave the moral right to determine what is best for them. There is enough patriotism, determination, honesty and unanimity among the people of this coast to settle this matter now and forever. It needs organization to accomplish this result; the exigency requires neither the use of violent language, nor a resort to violent nipans. Politicians of all parties aud demagogues of every description have used this sub ject to accomplish ulterior ends, and have excited hones, and incited con fidence only to betray and destroy. The Chinese question is eminently a social one. It is a question of re spectable subsistence on one hand, or degradation and starvation on the other. While it affects all, it most immediately affects the working pop ulation, and an injury to one is the concern of all, and he that is not with us must be against us." "The representative assemblies of the Knights of Labor, trades and labor uuions, granges, etc., of the Pacific coast fully impressed with tho gravity of the situation, and of the importance of removing all further discussion of this question out of the realms of political dema gogney, and of inviting all in a final effort to settle these matters that affect our vitality, have resolved to hold a convention." The call is signed by John Payne, S. L. Silverberg, S. Livingston, .1. Sparks, P.J. Flood, C. tt. Hodman andL. V. Merle. A IStm oit u It'iiMur.

Dorsey is tho suggestive name of a California mail carrier. He is a dog. His official wages are small and through tho proper authorities he has made application to have them raised. At present he gets two beef steaks a week. He wants his salary raised to seven steaks a week and mileage. His constituents have signed a petition to that effect, and the dog looks anxiously forward to the day when Postmaster-General Yilas shall grant his petition. Before Dorsey was appointed regu lar mail carrier between Calico and Bismarck, in San Bernardino county, his reputation was not the best. He is a black and white collie with sharp nose, bright, quick eyes and the us ual shaggy coat. The way he came to be enstalled as a government em ploye was this: The postmaster at Calico had a brother in the mines at Bismarck, to whom he wanted to send word one day. The place was three miles up the mountain, along a bare, stony road, burnincwith heat It was a hot, toilsome tramp, and no one in the village offered to go. So the postmaster thought he would send Dorsey just to see how it would work. The letter wa3 written and tied around the dog's ne ck, his head pointed up the Bismarck road, and he was told to "git out fur Bis marck." He started, ran a few rods and stopped. Bnt a shower of stones started him again, and that was the last seen of him in Calico that day. Tho next day he returned from Bismark with an answering letter tied around his neck. He had been well treated at the mining camp, was fed well and petted on his return, and seemed very proud of his achieve ment After this other letters were sent in tho same way, and by-and-by the miners asked that all their mail be sent up by the dog route. There were more th'an he could carry, so a littlo mail bag with brass trimmings and the usual government lock was purchased and fitted to Dorsey's back. Now residents of San Ber nardiuo county have grown to look upon the dog as a regular institution quite in tho ordinary rnn of affairs. Dorsey knows when the stage that brings the mail is due, and on those occasions he sticks closely to the post office. When the letters and papers have been sorted out, the postmaster says: "Dorsey, the mails are ready," and the dog stands soberly to have tho bag strapped on. Then, with a sharp bark of farowell, he trots over tho hills on a little trail he has worn himself. If he meets a stranger he makes a wide detour to avoid him, and when other dog3 try to bo friend ly and get up a littlo fight with soft gloves. so to speak, gravely declines aud goes on his way. He will not run any risk of losing the mail. Arriving at Bismarck he stop3 at six or seven of the principal houses in towu4 and standing at the front door, barks until some one comes out. Only a few known friends are permitted by him to open the bag. Then at night the miners give him a big supper, and the next day he starts back for his office at Calico with letters bound for the postofficc. Po3tofiice Inspector T. F. Tracy, sent out by the government to in spect California mail facilities, re ports the Dorsey dog route the most faithful and prompt in. tho state. CEMKNTK1) THEM TOC ETHER. The grand t-vap ' vtat of the Ore gon tun is a flat failure so far as in juring Mitohell is concerned. It has cemented his friends together as a unit. It has given him a chance which he is not slow to seize of throwing himself into the field, an active combatant. The. passive friends he had, who would have sup ported him as first choice, with Will iams a good second, regard him as the first, last and only choice, while they blame Williams equally with Scott with the publications which they so bitterly resent. It is ridicu lously funny to tho looker-on with no direct interest in the result. The generalship which Mitchell has dis played is of no mean order. "He was not a candidate." ,4The peo ple were pressing his name, but entirely without his consent or connivance." aud during all his gentle dnlliance the Oregonian was growling ominously. Presently, carried off its feet by its uncontroll able temper, it uumasks its batteries, displays the muzzles of its ready trained guns aud blazes away. There is an immense roar, a cloud of smoke and an unbearable stench, and when it clears away, up comes Mitchell, brisk, lively, unharmed ''has been forced into" the combat," "didn't in tend to be a candidate, but this scan dalous libel has compelled him to the front," and "is now in the hands of his friends." He has the mo3t exas perating luck in his encounters with the Ortgonian. He always waits un til that paper has fired its mine, and then steps onto the scene. If he had been on hand he wonld have been blown into smithereens, bnt he wasn't there. He never is. Salem C'orre .spomfrnci; Standard.

A rf3-al Kan. t When Butler was in command at New Orleans, he made, it will be re membered, many arrests for all sorts of reasons; and tho offenders who were brought before him, no matter the grade of the offense whether they were guilty of having more spoons than were absolutely neces sary in an averaged sized household, or had been talking imprudently were generally exiled to Ship Island, an exceedingly unpleasant place of retreat at any season of the year. One eccentric old gentleman, who had been excessively indiscreet in his comments upon the current events, and who had been repeatedly but ineffectually warned to hold his tongue, was finally hauled up be fore the cock-eyed man of destiny. It was shortly after the news of Gen eral Lee's victory at Fredericksburg had reached New Orleans, and the rebels were very jubilant over it. "You have been expressing vour self in a very disloyal fashion, I un derstand, sir," said B. F., with an unusually sour twist of his business eyo, "talking very outrageously and in a style calculated to produce mis chief." The old gentleman protested that ho had said nothing particularly bad, and suggested that the irate general had been misinformed. But it was to no purpose. Butler waxed more and more indignant, and declared he would send him to Ship Island. After much discussion, however, the sentence was revoked upon the old gentleman's consenting to take the oath, which he was very loath to do. Tho oath was administered in due form. "Well, general," queried the old gentleman, after he had been sworn, "I'm a loyal man now, ain't I?" "Certainlv you are," said the gen eral. "After this oath I'm as loyal in the eyes of the government a"s vou or any one else?" "Unquestionably." "And as such I'm now at libcrtv to talk?" "Of course : there can be no doubt of that" "Well then, general, confidentially and to go no further, didn't old Bob Lee give us h 1 at Fredericksburg the. other day?" Southern Bivouac. The Fantee's Dead. TheFantee of Africa is religious if anything. He lives in daily, hourly intercourse with departed friends, talks with them, pings to them, and feels that they are near him. We never meet an atheist in Guinea. He may revile his idol images when they do not please him, but lie never disbelieves the ever-living principle of Good as well as the twin spirits of Evil. The Fantee is bound by but one tie that of family. To its mem bers he is ever kind and generous. His dead he buries under or near his liouse, that they may be near him. This custom, no doubt, is a relic of probably the first religion the wor ship of the dead. Boston Bulletin. Farmers and Mechanics. Save money and Doctor bills. Relieve, your Mothers.
