More big tides yesterday afternoon with possible resultant 'damage to J ikes and tide lands. The annual election of officers for the Astoria chamber of commerce takes place at half past seven to-morrow evening. C. W. Fulton srave a dinner at the Parker House last evening at which the members of the bar and others were most hospitably entertained. The wind blew great guns at the Capo Friday night and yesterday. At one time the breeze had attained a velocity of Go miles an hour. The enterprising publisher of the Pendleton Tribuu sends us a Cue almanac superbly illustrated with de lineations of American scenery. Jesse Baker who has been ill in this city for the last three weeks, re turueJ to his home at Gray's river yesterday, much improved in health. The chinook can get the best of the snow in short order. By night fall yesterday the beautiful had al most entirely disappeared to the great relief of every one. The jury in the case of the state vs. Frank Gray which went out at eight o'clock Friday night to consider a verdict, came in at half past ten yes terday morning with a verdict or not guilty. The defendant was dis charged. A late number of Tin. III unl ruled christian Wctlclji contains an ar ticle on the salmon fisheries of the northwest from the facile ien of Dr. A. C. Kinney, of this city. The ar ticle is finely illustrated and conveys a good idea to thousands of Ameri can homes, of Astoria's chief industry. The new steamer Madi'ona which would have come here, but for the officious interference of Capt. Davis, arrived at San Francisco last Friday. The Xhubriok's crew will go down on the next steamer to bring up the Manzanita which will hereafter be used as a tender in this light house district. Mr. and Mrs. Carlson, of upper As toria, were tendered a surprise party by a number of their friends last Fri day evening. Dancing was followed by refreshments, after which vocal music was given bysomsfiue singers. The surprise was genuine, and lent an added charm to the good lime ali present enjoyed. Quite a unique affair, iu the shape of a double wedding, took place at the Parker House last evening. Mr. Van Marion Bullard and Miss "Wil son; and Mr. Samuel Soule aud Miss Bullard were united in the happy bonds of wedlock. The parties are all from Pacific Co., "Washington ter ritory, and will return to their homes this week. Bev. "Wl S. Hamlin, was the officiating clergyman. Xo one here is prepared for snow aud it is with satisfaction that one sees the warm wind melt and dissipate the clinging slushy nuisance. "When stars are flaming in the sky and the thermometer is at zero, snow is all right, but when it is neither hors" nor alligator, neither f now nor rain, but a slushy mess that is conducive to colds and coughs and general dis comfort, then every one is glad to see the pesky stuff washed off by the warm breath of the Pacific. Tlic Aberdeen Cannery. The Aberdeen Packing Co., B. A" Seaborg, president, and A. F. King, secretary, during the year of 1835, put up at their cannery at .Hwaco 22,000 cases of salmon. The comnanv paid out to fishermen 35,000 for fish, 15, 000 for wages for labor in the can nery, net racks, etc., 1,200 for wood, and 500 for charcoal. The road tax collected from the fishermen and the Chinamen employed by the cannery last year amounted to 250. The largest amount paid out to fishermen and for wood, charcoal and help for one season s work bv this company was 75,000, this, of course, not in cluding material, such as twine, tin. etc It is the intention of the com- panv to put up 25,000 cases this year, which will increase the running ex penses one-fourth more than that of last year.

Kinney sent several of the strangest of the specimens to the Smithsonian institution. Under date of Mar. 0th, Prof. Spencer M. Baird writes Ut Dr. Kinney that the fish re ceived were subjected to an examina tion and that it was found they rep resented the following species: Oivorhynclnis chouicha, Porama rati; Me rluHus preductm: Clupca Mirubills; Cliimacra i-olliei : Paro. phya retains: Cliipeu iSapidi-fsima: X'jualusamnthias; Trichodon stel hrl; Catlopsbi asper; Micrometrus aggregatus; loosteus omigmaticus; j'Vitipenus uuguiilari's: and (Jtmer 4s thahichtJiys.

Dement which the latter intends to use in going to and from his place on Lewis and Clarke's. The boat is twenty-five feet long aud six feet beam. The priucipul object or interest is the en gine and boiler. The propelling part of the machinery is on Wilson A: Fisher's dock and is believed to be the first one of the kiud in this vicin ity. Petroleum is the fuel used to generate steam, a spray of oil being directed into the furnace where it ig nites and heats the water. The sup ply pipe, cut-off, etc. are ingeniously arranged and the whole business looks :s though it would be a success. The outfit complete as it stands on the dock cost. 350; the boat will probably cost 200 more, but it will be lots easier than pulling around Smith's Point aud up Lewis and Clarke's.

Ex-United States senator Jas. T. Farley died at Jackson, Amador Co., Cala., last Friday evening. It is thought that a bill will soon be reported in congress favoring re coinage of trade dollars into stand ard silver dollars. An explosion at aNewburg, W. Va., coal mino last Thursday night result ed in the death of thirty-nine men entombed in the pit. John Crain and Richard Evans, both farmers living near Colfax, had a difficulty last week that resulted in Crain shooting and killing Evans. Floods in southern California have washed away houses, destroyed roads and bridges, and damaged a wide area of arable land. Several lives were lost in the rash of the waters in Los Angeles. Chinese have begun suit in the United States circuit court against the city of Eureka, Cal., to recover 132,003 damages, for loss of proper ty sustained by their expulsion from that city some time ago. A St. Paul dispatch of the 22nd says: The blizzard which has been raging since last night is the worst known among railroads for years. In every direction it is cold, and blow ing at a terrific rate, filling cuts, and It is said in San Francisco that Geo. C. Perkins is iu Montreal as representative of the Pacific Coast Steamship company to make such ar rangements with the Canadian Pacif ic railroad ns will secure an outlet to that city. in the northern part of the country making it impossible to keep them clear long enough to run trains. Trains on the southern Minnesota di vision of the Milwaukee have been abandoned iu Iowa and Minnesota. It is 57 degree below zero at St. Vin cent. On the 22nd ihe board of directors of the Northern Pacific railroad au thorized the letting of n tunnel two miles iu length, through the Cascade mountains, io Nelson Konnett, of Deer Lodge, Montana. The tnunel will cost S00,000, and is to be com pleted by May, 1883. Last Friday, at Seattle, Chief Jus tice Greene decided that the city or dinance prohibiting peddling by ali ens, aimed at Chinese, is valid. He held that the city council have a right to discrimiuate in the issuance of licenses, when it affects the wel fare of the commuuity. Moukhtnr Pasha, Turkish commis sioner in Egypt, has proposed a Turkish army in place of the English army now in the country, as iu his opinion the latter army is too costly a burden for Egypt in view of her limited revenues. It is said Wolff, the British commissioner, has ap proved the proposed change. A member of the committee ou for eign affairs, who is also a member of the subcommittee having iu charge the Chiuese question is re ported as saying that a stringent anti-Chinese measure would be report ed, aud the treaty extended to twen ty years. The committee is strong agaiust further Chiuese immigiation. Johu L. Sullivan savs he will fight auy mau iu the world within four to six weeks, scientific points to count, if the fight is with gloves; or if not, then London prize ring rules to govern. The match is to be for from 750 to 1,000 a side, aud to be in the presence of only five person:3 to a finish, or as may be preferred. Under no conditions is the match to occur in public This challenge is to remain open only oue week. A Pittsburg Commercial Uaztttes' Mount Pleasant, Pa., special of the 22nd says: While a mass meetiug of strikers at Mt Pleasant was iu pro gress this afternoon, a police car came up and was stopped a short dis tance awa.. The miners left the meeting and surrounded the car, threatening to mob the officers. For a time affairs looked squally, but through the prompt action of Father Lambing, Catholic priest, who ad dressed the strikers, counseling mod- j eratiou, a riot was averted and the j miners dispersed. Since yesterday's ! convention the strike has assumed enormous proportions, and may be said to be the greatest struggle be tween labor and capital ever known in the coke regions, from the number of men engaged in the strike, the ex tent of territory covered, aud value of interests at stake. Over 6,000 men are now out, and nearly every work in the Counelsville district is idle. To-morrow is geueral pay day, and tronble is anticipated. Strikers of all races held a mass meeting to-night, and Hungarians and Americans fra ternized and organized for future work. Similar action has been taken throughout, the whole region.

The Bnrlingame treaty, which lies at the bottom of all the tronble about the Chiuese, is one of the most curi ous documents of that character to be found in our whole collection. "We give tip everything, and practical ly get nothing in return. The Unit ed States concedes tho territorial jurisdiction of the emperor of China over the laud3 granted to foreigners, which all the European nations deny. We are supposed to make this admis sion in order that our citizens might bo protected from the attacks of other nations in the treaty ports. It would be impossible te state a pretense more thin and gauzy. The idea that Eng land or France, if at war with the United States, would make an assault on some group of the 420 Ameri cans domiciled in China, is perhaps the most superlative piece of nonsense ever set up. The Chinese government in its first treaties with European nations gave away rights which it has, since it learned better, been very anxious to recover. In the Buriiugame treaty we gave up for ourselves the extra territorial claim, as it is called. That surrender, it was thought, could be successfully used in inducing the other powers to do the same. We do not say that there was anything wrong in this. But, nevertheless, it is a great favor conferred by our government on China. The proposi tion essentially wa3 that we should pull the chestnuts out of the fire. Not only this, but we agreed that all future concessions should be taken entirely out of the old category. After this follow two other provis ions in which we give a substantial advantage to the Chinese, and get back a mere shadow little more than a phrase. We allow the Chinese to enter this country freely and get in return the "same privileges, immu nities, or exemptions in respect to travel or residence, as may there be enjoyed by tho citizens or subjects of tho most favored nation." But all this wo had before the Bnrlingame treaty was adopted. Another speci men of this onesided contracting is found fnrther along in these werds: "The citizens of the United States may freely establish and maintain schools within tho empire of China at those places where foreigners are by treaty permitted to reside, aud re ciprocally the Chinese subjects may enjoy the same privileges and immuni ties in the United States." Iu this case also, we get nothing but what we had before. Examining the treaty by the light of subsequent events, it was evidently framed to carry out the projects of those parties in China who are engaged iu the coolie traffic. They knew that the introduction of the new form of slavery would iu time excite the opposition, which has since been so powerfully manifested, aud they sought to guard agaiust it by treaty stipulation. Our country was deliberately sold ont. Our position in China was not rendered one whit belter iy the Bur iiugame treaty lhau it was before. We wore made a catspaw in the matter of extra-territoriality and our defeces against coolieism were thrown dowu. Bailroads were the bait that were held out to catch us. But how delusive that was, will atouee appear when its nature is slated. It was agreed that "if at any time hereafter his imperial majesty shali determine to construct or cause to be construct ed, works of the character mentioned, withiu the empire, and shall make application to the United Stales or auy other western power for facilities to carry out that policy, the United States will, iu that case, designate or authorize suitable engineers to be employed by the Chinese government and will recommend to other uations an equal compliance with such ap plications."' Nothing ever will come ont of it, for as a matter of fact it means, nothing. But it was thought at the lime that we had secured the rich job of building Chinese rail roads. It was the glamor that was put on words in themselves mean ingless that apparently deluded our diplomats. We were sold out and did not get the mess of pottage. We constituted ourselves the man Friday for the Chinese government; led the way for it to recover its right of eminent do main in the treaty ports, exposed our country to the danger of a new form of slavery, and got a promise that in certain circumstances some American engineer might be em ployed about Chinese railroads This may be regarded as one of the most shameful passages in our diplomatic history. We were outwitted at every turn. No nation need stand by a bargaiu so clearly one-sided. But one clause has been given a much wider interpretation than it properly bears. That clause was the main purpose of the document. It reads: "The United States of America and the emperor of China cordially rec ognize the inherent and inalieuable right of man to change his home and allegiauce. and also the mutual advantage of the free migration and emigration of their citizens and subjects respectively from one coun try to the other for the purpose of curiosity, of trade or for permanent residence?" It was pcssiblc for the president of the United States by treaty to recognizo the right of all Americau citizens to emigrate or go out of this country. But it was not possible for the Prasident and two thirds of a quorum of the senate to set up by treaty that all pcopleof ev ery racehad the right to come into this conutry. That would be the clothing of "all mankind with a sort of incipient citizenship in the United states. There is nothing in the con stitution which allows so wide a rule to be set up. It is obvious that the president aud two-thirds of a quorum of the senate are incompetent to amend that document; yet it is on this assumption the free immigration of the objectionable Chinese is toler ated. All the patent medicines advertised in this paper, together with the choicest Eerfumery, and toilet articles, etc can e bought at the lowest prices, at J. W. Conn's drug store, opposite Ocideut betel, Astoria. A CURIOUS POE3I. The following lines are susceptible of two meanings. A bachelor friend reads the first and third, the second and fourth lines together, and, from some cause or other, seems to find an internal satisfaction in so doing. The man must lead a happy lifo Who ia directed by his wife: Who's freed from matrimonial chains. Is sure to suffer for his pains. Adam of old could find no pesce. Until ho saw a woman's face; When Eve was given for a mate, Adam was in a happy state. In all tho fenialo heart appear Truth, darling of a heart sincere; Hypocrisy, deceit and pride, Ne'er known in women to reside. What tongue is able to unfold Tho world in women we behold? The falsehood that in women dwell Is almost imperceptible. Fooled be the foolish man, I say, Who will not yield to woman s sway, Who changes from his singleness, Is sure of perfect blessedness. 31UTE 3IESSEXGERS. As Eugene and Claude Simpson were coming along Ocean beach, just south of iZ A. Loomis' place, and some distance north of where siands the late wreck, Carrie B. ZaTce, they found a large pocketbook con taining valuable papers, which had been cast up on the shore by a late tide. The pocketbook evidently was oue belonging to Mate Jamison. The papers are receipts from various parties, a certificate of deposit in Ladd & Tilton's bank for 100, a bill of ex change for ten pounds sterling, cer tificate of sbare3 of stock in the Port land Deep Sea Fishing company, aud other papers. Tho wreckmaster has been duly notified. It is singu lar how this pocketbook, if it was on the person of Mate Jamison, could have become detached from his pock et. It could not have been floating about since the wreck, as the book and papers are all in good state of preservation. This would rather go to show, that the bodies of the drowned men lie iu the sand, half buried, and that they are exposed so that outside iufluences of some kind have torn the pockets open. The boys deserve to be rewarded with salvage, and no doubt the relatives of poor Jamison will be glad to obtain mementos of him. Pacific Journal, One of. John U. (Jonah's Word Gems. Water! look at it ye thirsty ones! see its purity! How it glitters, as if a mass of liquid gems! The Eternal Father of all has brewed it for His children. Not iu the simmering still, with smoking fires, and choked with poisonous gases, does He prepare it; but down, down in the deepest valleys, where the fountains murmur; and in the grassy dell, where the red deer wanders; or high ou the mountain tops, where the storm cloads brood, aud the thunder storms crash; and far out on the wide, wide sea, where the hurricane howls music, and mighty waves swell the chorus He brews this precious beverage of life pure cold water. Everywhere it is a thing of beauty, gleaming in tho dew drop, glistening in the ice gem, spark ling in the cataract, spreading a gold en vail over the setting sun, or a white gauze around the mid night moon; danciug in tho hail-shower, riuging in the summer rain, and weav ing that seraph-zone of the sky, whose warp is the rain drop and whose woof is the sunbeam.
