Drowned in Gray's River. A young man named Wickersham was drowned above the forks of Gray's river, Wahkiakum Co., last Monday in a very singnlar manner. He had been engaged in hand logging and on his return from a visit to this city thai day, went to his place about two miles above Jesse Baker's taking with him another young man named Chas. Semner. They crossed the fork of the river in a boat when Semner, jumping out, gavo the boat a backward shove with his foot as he sprang. The recoil upset tho boat and Wickersham falling out was drowned before the eyes of his hor ror stricken companion who was powerless to aid him. All efforts to recover tho body have thus far been unavailing. Wickersham was a sin gle man, well spoken of by all his acquaintances on both sides of the river.

Suicide at Snbliniitv. Friday last, while laboring under a temporary fit of insanity, John Blod rick, who lived near Snblimitv, Mari on county, committed suicide by blowing out his brains with a Win chester rifle. When found Blodrick was lying on the bed in his cabin, the barrel of the gun resting on his breast and tho butt between his knees. A ramrod was lying alongside, one end in tho man's hand and the other against the trigger, this showing con clusively how the work had been done. The charge entered the left eye and fairly raised the crown off of Blodrick's head. He was an unmar ried man, 51 years of age, and was no doubt laboring under a fit of tempo rary insanity at the time tho deed was committed. Blodrick was subject to spells of despondency, and had once been confined for a short time for in sanity. No one kuows that he has auy relatives in this part of the coun try. He left considerable property. Oregonian, 29. Farmers ami mechanics. Save money and Doctor bills.

I A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW. AsroniA. Dec. 28, 1885. Editor Asterian: In your article of some days since on the Chinese, you say the average Chinaman earns a dollar a day in the fishing season. That does not ex press the whole truth. A day is elev en hours' work, whether performed in twenty-four hours or in a week. The average Chinaman labor per case was about 35 cents to 4.0 cents last year say 37. Last year's pack was 540,000 cases, which would make the cost of China labor, at the canneries on the Columbia river, about two hundred thousand dollars. One hundred dollars to each of your 2,000 Chinamen for April, May, June, July and part of August. This in cludes the can making also in March. Besides it is probable that more than two thousand Chinamen are employed in July. If Astoria were a large city so that there were other work white laborers might supplant the Chinese at the can neries anI then go into other labor when not engaged at the canneries. No white people can afford to come from a distanco and return simply to obtain one hundred dollars in five months. To stop here out of the fish season would mean starvation. Two thousand whito families one thousand families here with employ ment twelve months in a year would be far preferable to the two thousand Chinamen, but without some other work than fishing they would be coun ty charges and bankrupt entirely a now tax-burdened community. Until this community becomes densely settled and there phall be people and children seeking labor at very low prices the canneries will be obliged to employ Chinese, or close down, or invent more machinery. Bnt what will be the crenernl effect ' of an immediate removal of the Chi nese from this coast? A wavo of white laborers wonld rush iuto the vacuum anu overim it, ana strong competition would force wages down below what they are now, and there would bo poorer white people and more of them than now. The fact is that it wonld take but a few years without any agitation or legislation, to force by competition the Chinese from our midst. Legal restrictive legislation, however, will hasten the time when the Chinaman will disappear from sight. He has performed his mission here and must go, but let none suppose that his elimination will solve the labor ques liou or bring peace to the laborers. Agitation ami strikes in the older states where there are no Chinamen are larger and more frequent than the anti-Chinese movements here. A few months after the Chinese shall have withdrawn his face from this land strikes will become fashionable and the old issue between labor and capital will bo directly put forth with out the subterfuge of a third party. But we do not go far enough. While envying the Chinaman bending over his saw-horse in the street.ys forget how good it YFoTitdvbS"toliave a bench iu the shoo shop close by. We walk past the shop of the man hammering at his last and go into a fitore and buy a pair of boots made in Sau Uraucisco by Oh well no dif ference by whom or a pair of shoes from away down east three thousand miles away. How many would find employment in Astoria it we made all onr boots and shoes? Suppose we made the leather for them also, we have the hides and tanbark in our midst. I want a piece of furniture, I don't ask whether niy neighbor, who is a cabinet maker, issupp irting his fami ly well or poorly, or whether there is a caoinetmautr out oi employment or not, but I walk off to a store that imports from some far eff andstrange place and choose tho articles, l am particular too to ask for furniture that was not made at home or out of homo timber. Ash grows in Oregon, but I prefer ash that grew in Illinois or Ohio. 1 do not want Oregon ash, oak, maple, alder, spruce, fir, hemlock, piue, cedar, etc., yet how many would be cutting timber, how many saw mills running and how many en gaged in manufacturing furniture if we demanded and would buy no other than home made out of native woods. We use California made matches though made out of Oregon wood. We use imported coal while wood in abun dance grows at our doors. We buy ready made shoddy clothing from tho cast, or send to California tailors when the tailoring should all be done here and ont of woolens made in Or egon. vc import macKerei, cou, sardines, etc., yet, fish are abundant in native waters. A long list of articles might bo added, bnt this is enough to show that when we shall have banished the China labor we have not near beguu the work of re form, the work of self protection, of home and self support.

A clergyman in a southern Btato was on his way to preach a funeral sermon. As he was passing tho house of a widow lady, a member of his con gregation, she ran out and stopped him, saying, as they had just slaugh tered their hogs, she had pnt up a few pounds of sausage as a present, adding that as she had put it in double paper pocketB, she thought it would not soil his clothes. He thanked her earnestly for her kind ness, and rode on, having put tho par cel in his pocket. All the time he was officiating at tho grave a large, half-starved hound kept snuffing aronndhim, sometimes approaching alarmingly near, at tracted by the scent of the fresh meat. As the deceased was a man of some prominence, there was a consid erable crowd collected, and great mourning and lamentation came from the family group; so no one paid any attention to tho movements of the animal, but all noticed with concern for he was beloved by his congre gation the great pallor of the cler gyman, and the beads of perspira tion standing upon his brow, and they began to whisper to each other that Mr. H must bo ill. After the interment they all pro ceeded to the church, where the fu neral sermon was to be preached. Just before enteruig, Mr. II- turned around to ascertain the where abouts of hi3 tormentor, when lo! there he was, not far from him, but the crowd prevented him from ap proaching too closely. Just at this moment somo one gave the poor creature a cruel kick, which sent him off howling. When the minister reached the pulpit one of those old fashioned affairs ascended by a short, steep flight of steps he breathed more freely. He was just about to commence his duties when the sexton, a good old man, came noiselessly up tho steps with a slip of paper in his hand, which he wished to give to the minister, but who was unnoticed by that gentleman, though seen by all the congregation. He gently twitched his coat to attract hia attention. A thrill of horror passed over the un happy preacher at tho dreadful thought that the dog had entered unseen in the crowd, and was now about to tako forcible possession of the sausage before the whole assem bly; so hoping to drive him away, ho kicked back cautiously but vigorous ly, and struck tho old man in the breast, who rolled down tho step3. Seeing the look of surprise and alarm on the faces of tho audience, he stammered out, with crimson face: "I must explain to you, my brethren, tvhat must sepm my intemperate con duct. A friend came ont to me, as I was passing her house, a1i a small package of sausage for mo to carry home in my pocktt; but ever since I dismounted from my horse this old dog" pointing behind to the pros Irate sexton, but without looking round "has been following, me, and at lecgiheiscs-iato c&ealpit, and has been tagging at my coat, deter mined to get tho sausage from niv pocket." At this moment the sexton, a little stunned and a little hurt, arose from the floor, and the minister ut a glauco took it all in, stared wildly at him, took a drink of water, turned vory pale, and sat down, overwhelmed with consternation.

A young postmaster of a village postoffice was hard at work when a gentle tap was heard upon, the door, and in stepped a bashful maid of eighteen, with a money order, which she desired to have cashed. She handed it with a bashful smile to the official, who, after closely examining it, handed her the money it called for. At the samo time he asked her if she had read what was written on the margin of the order. "No, I have not," she replied, "for I cannot make it out. Will yon please read it for mo?" The young postmaster read it as follews: :I send you -three dollare and a dozen kisses." Glancing at iheTbnshful girl, he said: "Now I have paid you the money and I suppose you want the kisses." "Yes," she said; "if he has sent me any kisses, I want them, too." It is hardly necessary to say that the balance of the order was promptly paid, and in a scientific manner at that, and eminently satisfactory to the country maiden, for she went out of the office smacking her lips as if there was a taste on them that she had not encountered before. After she arrived home she remarked to her mether: "Eh, mother, but this postoffice sys tem of ours is a great thing, develop ing more and more every year, and each new feature added seems to bo the best. Jimmy sent me a dozen kisse3 along with the money order, and the postmaster gave me twenty. It beats the special delivery system all hollow." "Wasn't Willing to Wait. A sweet young thing went up to a telegraph counter in England with a form in her hand and a diffident look on herfaco, and inquired: "Can't I send just one word for less than a shilling?" "No, mis3," replied the clerk ; "the rate is a shilling for one word or twenty, but if you are in no hurry, and afe willing to wait until August, the rate will bo cheaper." "Wait until August, indeed ! You don't know tho scarcity of husbands, young man. You see," she went on confidingly, "dear George has pro posed to mo by letter and I want to secure him, as it were, before he has time to change his mind." But the government has not any consideration for engaged young la dies, and tho sweet young thing had to secure George at an outlay of a shilling. "" Buclilcn's Arnica Salve.
