ASTORIA, OREGON:
FUIDAY
JANUARY 22. 1S8C
"Line's down."
The Katuhdin sailed yesterday;
the Adelaide Mary arrived in.
The funeral of the late John Davis
will be from the Masonic lodge room
at eleven o'clock this morning.
You nevMr'cau be really sure wheih-j
er a boughten egg is really good or
bad till it is broke. Just the same
way with some men.
Heavy snow is reported from nil
Oregon and "Washington points.
There is but little delay in railroad
or steamboat travel, and the indica
tions are a general thaw this side the
Cascades.
Why wouldn't it bs a good thing
to tax the Chinese laundries? Not
the "Chinese" laundries particularly,
but all city laundries. As there are
none but Chinese laundries in As
toria it would amount to the same
thing.
Yesterday's Oregonian gives a
riglitful scoring to the San Francisco
slander of -weather reports, which
elicit only a smile from their recipi
ents. The "probabilities" sent here
are about as good an exemplification
of utter uselessnes3 as could well be
conceived.
The brute Jos. Dows. charged with
rape was put upon trial yesterday af
ternoon; the evidence was conclusive
and the jury, after a few moments
consultation brought in a verdict of
guilty. Judge Taylor sentenced him
to ten years in the penitentiary. He
may consider himself remarkably for
tunate. It was nearly four o'clock yester
day afternoon when the Telephone
got down. Capt Scott reports heavy
ice to Cathlamet, but doesn't view
the situation very seriously, as he
thinks thereis little danger of a gorge.
Yesterday evening's weather tends to
confirm the belief that there will
be no interruption to the usual river
traffic.
A noticeable feature in a term of
court here is the intelligence dis
played,by men summoned to appear as
jurors; more especially when being
examined prior to acceptance or re
jection on a case when the jury is
being made up. The ready answers,
clear understanding of what is re
quired and the guarded manner of
replying show a degree of intel
ligenc and appreciation that speaks
wollforthe average judgment and
sense of the community.
In the territorial legislature last
Wednesday a bill passed the lower
house prohibiting the employment of
Chinese. The full text of sucli a
statute will prove interesting reading
to Washington territory canners. As
at present situated the law, if it con
templates exclusion of Chineso from
employment, is ridiculous and not
wortli the paper it is written on.
Washington territory canners nor Or
egon canners cannot get along with
out Chinese labor at present, though
the day when a Chinaman will be a
curiosity in a Columbia cannery will
mark a new era of domestic prosper
ity in this section of the country.
It has been mutually agreed that
the state law regarding the $300 li
cense be tested here at the present
term of court Harris & Wright
were selected by tho liquor men as
the defendants in the matter and
were formally indicted by the grand
jury yesterday. The trial will take
place next Monday. Messrs. Stott
and Fulton appear" for the defend
ants and District Attorney McBridc
will be assisted by Judge Bronaugh
in the prosecution. Tho suit is
brought to test the validity of the
law and will be looked upon with con
siderable interest throughout the
state. There will be no evidence ad
duced, tho matter being confined to
legal argument The probability is
that whatever the decision of this
court tho case will be appealed to the
supreme court
PERSONAL.
THE CANRY MINSTRELS.
A Very
Creditaltlc Performance
Evening.
Last
As good an amateur minstrel per
formance as ever was given in Astoria
was thoroughly enjoyed by a fair
house at Liberty hall last evening.
The performers" were "The Canby
Minstrels," an organization compris
ing some really talented members,
and who last evening made their de
but before an Astoria audience.
The boys made a fine display in the
opening olio, blacked up and arrayed
after the time honored fashion of the
negro minstrels. The middle man
was J. Hooke; G. Maguire handled
the bones and Jim Gold the tambor
ine, the trio being at home in their
parts, and creating unbonnded merri
ment The opening chorus, "The
night is coming on," by the entire
troupe, preceded the old favorite,
"The Little Old Log Cabin in the
Dell," by Tom Kelly, sung with feel
ing and expression, after which some
laughable local gags and witticisms
were got off, and Jim Gold sang -'All
Aboard" in a manner that elicited
hearty and deserved applause.
"When the Cora is Waving, Annie
dear," as sung by T. Biordan com
pared very favorably with any pre
vious rendition of that touching bal
lad, and G. Magoire set the house in
a roar with his rendition of "Little
Ah Sid," having previously showed
how oiie dollar will pay six dollars
of debts. "Silver Bells," an ex
quisitely rendered solo by Joe
Gold preceded the laughable "Cauby
Dudes Picnic," by the full strength
of the company in which the model
of the Gen. Canby in transit from
Ilwaco to the Cape made its appear
ance. Where the troupe get their mako
up and properties is a surprise; few
minstrel companies are better equip
ped in the way of costumes and stago
accessories, and the furnishiugs re
flect credit on Messrs. Hooke and T.
L. Maguire.
Some excellent club swinging by
Gus. Horn was followed by a jig by
J. Cannon who responded to a well
deserved encore by dancing "The
Irish Washerwoman" in a style that
would win applause in auy theater in
the Union.
The comical farce of "Pete and the
Peddler" was next introduced, G.
Maguire as Pete, the rascally servant,
W. H. Briggs as the coy Mrs. Brom
ley and Tom ICelly as Pat Booney,
the much abused peddler. Joe and
Jim Gold in their old time camp
meeting hymns elicited a double en
core after "which L. G. Murray made
one of the funniest speeches
on the Woman's Bights question that
ever was heard in this or any
other age. The souudness of his
views cannot be questioned. A bone
solo by Jim Gold and an Irish song
by Tom Kelly preceded the closing
piece, a farce entitled "The Ticket
Taker," participated in by nearly
every member of the company.
"They gave a hne performance."
was what every one present said and
is no more than the truth, and they
made many friends and admirers
who will be glad to aid in a benefit
for deserving talent the next time
they give us tho pleasure of their
company. Messrs. Humble and Mes
tayer made excellent music, and the
whole performance was an assured
success. The boys have established
their reputation now and Astoriau3
will be glad to meet them on some
future occasion.

(In the case of P. Sicommat V3.
Wm. Loeb reported yesterday, it was
incorrectly stated that tuo case was
decided in favor of plaintiff. The
case was decided in favor of defendant)
To the J fon. F. J. Taylor Judge:
The undersigned, your grand jury
for the present term, report as fol fel fol
eows: We have examined into all charges
of orime brought before us and have
found indictments in such cases as
seemed necessary. We compliment
Justices Goodell. Stockton,and Welch
upon the fact that, except in two
cases, all the persons held to answer
by them have been indicted by the
grand jury; this shows that petty
cases have not been entertained by
the inferior conrts, and that justice
has been administered by them with
a due regard to economy. In the
cases ignored by the grand jury we
are satisfied that we had evidence not
accessible to the committing magis
trate. We have examined the offices
of the clerk, sheriff and treasurer and
find all these officers properly per
forming their duties both with credit
to themselves aud tc the satisfaction
of the public.
Wo find the county jail in fair con
dition aud cleanly aud properly kept,
aud commend its management
We find the city jail sadly iu want
of water closets and privies, and also
recommend that windows or shutters
be put outside the grate3 to protect
prisoners from the iuclemency of the
weather.
We visited St Mary's Hospital
where the county poor arc cared for,
aud found that the good Sisters in
charge of that institution were giving
every possible attention to the wants
of the unfortunate people committed
to their care. Our visit was made
without any previous notice of our
coming, and yet wo found everything
in the hospital neat as a pin and ar
ranged in an orderly manner, show
ing that system, cleanliness and good
order are the invariable rules in that
institution. It could not be better
conducted than it is at present.
We call tho attention of tho city
council to tho crowded condition of
our Chinese quarters. Filthy beyond
all description, crowded together like
hogs in a pen, in wooden tenements
where they cook, smoke, cat, in less
room than is allowed to a horse in
his still; their habits and filth are a
standing-invitation lo contagions dis
eases and it is only a question of
time when small-pox or somo other
such disease will start there, and by
that means spread itself over the
whole country.
We recommend that an efficient cu
bic air ordinance be passed aud rig
idly enforced as a measure for tho
protcctiou of the public.
And haviug now completed our la
bors wo ask to be discharged.

CHINESE IN PORTLAND.
The Standard sas there arc now
over one thousand idle Chinese iu
Portland, and all are of tho coolie or
working class, consequently they have
no raeaus of support, except the
meager allowance doled out to them
by their bosses or owners, and this
is charged against them, aud will
have to be paid out of the first work
they do. The idle men congregate
during the daytime at the "Mon ten
tone," or loafing places. The joss
house affords an excellent retreat for
many of them, as a good fire is kept
going there all the time, and tho
Chinese as a rnle arc very partial to
warmth.
The poorer class, who have cruel
bosses or masters "bum" their living
of Iheir more fortunate cousins; they
never beg, but they happen around
at the room or store of a friend about
meal time, and the etiquette of the
nation demands that they bo invited
to partake, and the demands of the
inner man prompts tho acceptance of
tho invitatiou. By this means tho
poor heathen is nb'lo to eke out a
miserable existence through the win
ter. The" are longingly looking for
ward to China New Year, which will
begin on tho 3d of February and con
tinue through live days and nights.
During this period many visits nrc
interchanged, and custom requires
that if a man comes iuto a store or shop
and wishes the proprietor a prosper
ous business for the coming year, the
proprietor is in duty bound to pre
sent his well wisher a small coin, us
ually a five-cent piece. By taking
advantage of this custom, many of
the poorer class make quito a collec
A SMUGGLER'S EXPERIENCE.
"What a good chance you would
have to smuggle," was observed the
other day to a gentleman who resides
in Yictoria but does business on the
Sonnd, and crosses the straits three
or four times per month.
"Ah!" was his dry and noncommit
tal exclamation.
"Aren't you sometimes tempted?"
"No, sir! At least not now."
"Then you were once?"
"See here! I'll tell you a story to
get rid of you. Years ago, I did
smuggle ten yards of silk across. My
wife wauted a shade we couldn't find
in Victoria, and I consented to smug
gle it over. When I got ready to
start for Yictoria the silk was under
my suspenders, with vest and coat
buttoned over it I knew all the
customs officers well, and there wasn't
one chance in a million of my being
detected."
"And you weren't afraid then?"
"Not until I reached tho wharf.
The officials on the other side had
nothing to do with the matter, of
course, but my guilty conscience was
on the alert One of them called to
me and detained me ten minutes
while he related the particulars of a
man being trapped for smuggling a
shawl. I felt myself turn all sorts
of colors, and I declare that my
knees seemed to give out."
"Yes, Pve been there."
"On the boat I saw a stranger
watching me very closely, and I
made up my mind he was a spotter.
I'd have thrown the silk away then,
but there was not an opportunity.
When I reached Yictoria I felt like a
prisoner about to ba sentenced. I
didn't know whether to land at once
and hurry off, or take my time and
affect a coolness I was mighty far
from feeling."
"Exactly. I have felt the same
way.',
"Well, ihe customs officer came up
and slapped me on the back and called
eut:
" 'Hello! Jim, got anything on you
that ought to pay duty?' "
"He was in fun, of course, but my
heart jumped into my mouth and
choked me, and I camo near wilting.
I managed to fish up a cigar, and
hand it over with a forced laugh, but
Td have given $10,000 to have been a
mile away."
" -What's the matter, old boy?' ho
asked as he saw how perturbed I
was."
"N nothing."
" 'Come now, you don't feel well. n
"Oh, y-yes, Id-do, except that I am
a little sea s-siok."
'"Come with me!' he ordered, and
put one hand on my baok, exactly
over that silk, and led mo off that
boat. I had no other idea but I was
caught. Visions of courts, fines,
newspaper articles and a weeping
wife rose up before me, and I was
about to throw myself on his mercy
and offer to pay any sum ho might
name, when he steered me into a sa
loon and called eut:
" 'Here give Jim a brandy to brace
bi3 stomach.' "
"With that ho went out, and I just
sank down into the first handy chair
and came very near fainting away.
When I had put a mile between mo
aud the wharf, I camo to a halt and
said to myself:
"'Jim, you are a confounded idi
ot' "You bet!' Jim replied.
" 'Don't you never try that again.'
" I never will never!'
" 'You'd better pay S3 per yard for
filk iu Yictoria than to pay 75 cent3
on the other side.'
' 'You're shouting, old boy.'
" 'Take this silk home and tell your
wife that you sent to San Francisco
for it and never let anybody know
what a fool you've made of yourself.
" 'I'll do it!'
"And I did it; and if I had tho saf
est opportunity in the world to make
a hundred dollars per day by smug
gling, I'd never bring over a single
brass pin." Victoria Pott.
