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.

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.

THAT SAUSAGE.
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. Editofs Draw

KISSING BY XAIL.
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. ""
