ASTORIA. OREGON:
l'MDAY.
JANUARY 15. 18SC
Tiieri: are more than 1,000,000
ex-soldiers still living.
It costs a million and a half more
to run the New York state govern
ment now than it did live years
aero.
Jay Gould is now the richest
man in America. He is estimated
at $125,000,000 and is only forty
nine years old.
The total number of business
failures in the United States dur
ing 1S35 was 10,637, with liabili
ties of $220,000,000.'
Smith, the Vermonter who
wants to succeed Edmunds as sen
ator, is incautiously heralded as
the richest man in the state.
Tun ex-king regent of Portugal
left his German-American widow,
a Boston-born woman, by the
waj', a fortune of $,000,000.
Mir. Pakntj:ll probably receives
the largest mail and sends the few
est replies of any similarly conspic
uous politician in the world.
Piiksidkxt Cleveland having
succeeded in shaking hands with
4AS people in sixteen minutes,
has probably beaten the record.
The railway track laid in the
United States during the year just
closed aggregated 3,113 miles,
Missouri leading with 282 miles.
The president recently re
marked: "1 wake up sometimes
in the night, and, seeing where I
am, 1 imagine it is all a dream."
Mks. Bakuios, widow of the
late president of Guatemala, is
staying in New Orleans this winter.
She has a fortune of 8,000,000.
Queex Viciokia's personal es
tate is estimated at $30,000,000
and her lands at 15,000,000 in
value. She rates about with Jay
Gould.
The word mugwump is to go
into the revised editions of the
dictionaries; but it will hardly
satisfy the mugwumps if it is
printed in no bigger type than the
words "republican" and "demo
crat." State and territorial exchanges
are instituting the usual complai
sant comparisons between the
blizzards and freezings in the cast-
ern and middle sections of the
Union with the balmy vernal air
of our favored Pacific coast.
It is officially announced that in
the short twelve da3's' war the
Bulgarian losses were 500 killed,
2,000 wounded and 500 prisoners,
while the Servian losses, of course
by Bulgarian estimate, are 2,500
killed, 1,12G wounded and prison
ers. Observant travelers say that
every county in Europe has three
prices for everything oh there.
The first is for natives, the sec
ond for Englishmen and the ihird
for Americans. It is needless to
add that the latter receive the
full benefit of the highest pric'.
The French republic is pirdoii
ing anarchists who seek its de
struction, thus proclaiming its own
instability and encouraging fur
ther attempts to overthrow the ex
isting form of government on the
part of those who see in mercy
only an expression of weakness.
David Davis is resting on his
5,000,000 or 6,000,000, and will
not again enter politics. Tt is
supposed that Mr. Davis will leave
about $2,000,000 for the establish
ment of a home for aged para
graphers, he having been so often
and so kindly mentioned by those
useful and truthful persons.
- ..I i -
The friends of silver in the
senate are responding to Beck's
bugle blast and are bringing for
ward facts, figures and arguments
that make "Wall street realize that
New York city and the gold ring
-won't run this country yet awhile
even if they have captured the
president and secretary of the
treasury. Democrats and Repub
licans for once forgot party ties
and faithfully echoed the senti
ments of their constituents in a
demand for the continuance of
silver coinage. The fight is not
yet won, but it will be.
The value of the coal mined in
the United States in a year far ex
ceeds that of all the gold and sil
ver combined. From government
reports just issued it appears that
the coal yield of 1884 -was $143,
700,000, that of silver $48,800,000
and that of gold 330,800,000, the
coal product thus exceeding the
combined product of silver and
gold in value by $04,100,000.

At Bellaire, Ills., last "Wednes
day, Gordon Apperson objected
to the marriage of his sister-in-law
to George Gallogly, whereupon
that individual promptly disposed
of objection and objector by seiz
ing a chair and knocking Mr. Ap
person into the fire where he was
consumed. The dispatch states
that "the bride swooned," which,
under the circumstances, was very
much to her credit.
The work on the extension of
the California & Oregon Railroad
is not being pushed very vigorous
ly this winter, owing partly to the
great amount of water which has
to be contended with on account
of the late rains, and parthy on ac
count of the uncertainty regard
ing the land grant. None of the
tunnels beyond Delta have yet
been cut through, and little more
is now being done than taking
measures to protect the work al
ready performed. What will be
done when settled weather comes
in the spring, has not yet been
determined upon. A few miles
of track have been laid beyond
Delta, but the road cannot be said
to have been extended beyond that
point.
