(t Itc gaity tortim. ASTORIA. OREGON: weunesdayZ .T-ferrlaky it. isso A postmaster in Newton coun ty, Ark., has nnade himself so unpopular by his manner of treat ing people having business with his office that the neighbors have finally driven him out of town. Several years ago Senator Ramsey, of Minnesota, offered his wife her choice of :i new bonnet or a corner lot in Minneapolis. She took the lot, and has just sold it for S90,000. and proposes now to have that .bonnet. The most prosperous match factory in the country is located at Fargo, D. T. It is the Daily Ar- (jus, which within a. 3'ear has pub lished 2,000 letters from as many young women desiring husbands, and made as many matches. "Witiiix a month nine senators an ! fifteen representatives have insured their lives in sums ranging from 10,000 to 50,000. Miller, of Xew York, took the larger sum. Call, of Florida, took $25,000. Five representatives took $20,000 c.ieli, and ten took $10,000 apiece. Xot since Grant died has there been such a tribute to any Ameri can's memorj, as that universally accorded by the newspapers of the nation to the memory of the gal lant Hancock, whose spotless hon or as a man was equal in fame with his splendid record as a sol dier. The English shipyards report LS8." to have been the dullest year in their histoiy. On the Clyde the tonnage of vessels launched was one-half that of 1S85, less than half that of 18S3 and smaller than that of any year since 1S70, ex cept three. There has been nota ble incieabe in the use of steel for constructive purposes in the last two years. Congressman Hermann realizes the importance of the Columbia bar improvement not only to the state, but to the entire nation. lie is indefatigable in his efforts to open up the great gateways and loses no opportunity to demon strate to committee-men and oth ers the desirability of making such appropriation as will enable those in charge of the work to proceed in a manner that will insure the j most satisfactory results in th" speediest time possible. At Topeka, Kansas, one Wal ruff, a brewer, brought suit against the state, alleging that by reason of the prohibition law his property, worth $30,000 at the time the law was passed, was worthless by rea son of the operation of the law. The case was tried in the United States circuit eourt, and Walruff was given a verdict for the amount claimed, the judge holding that while the brewery could be closed under the laws of the state, the state would have to n its owner the value of the proj.j-rty. N The San Francisco BuU-th, of jo-loth. savs.-euitoriallv: "If Senator Mitchell's bill with some moomcations, or anv mil witn a like purpose, be passed, ihe Chi nese question will be solved for all time. That bill rises fully to the gravity of the' case. No one favored Morrow's bill, who didn't know other and more stringent measures would have to be adopted. On this act the people of every citv and town should be heard on the question, aud it should be ad vanced one step on the calendar. Senator Mitchell's bill is necessa rily more in accord with the rising tide of , popnlar determination to exterminate the Chinese evil, once for all, than any previous meas ure." The bill recently passed in the Brazilian legislature for the gradual abolition of slavery decrees that all slaves over CO years of age shall be free. Those remaining are to be divided into classes, according to age and value. The bill pro vides that in the course of seven- teen years all slaves are to be free. As the slaves grow older, after reaching the ago of the class of the next lowest price, they are to be graded in that class. The emanci pation fund will be increased by a tax of 5 per cent on all public revenues, except those derived from exports. The slave-owners will be indemnified by payment to them of 5 per cent policies, equal to one-half the value of each slave. After the slaves are freed they are, under the provisions of the bill compelled to work for three years at their old homes at a small salary, so as to accustom them to their new conditions of life. This service is to be taken as compensa tion for the other half of their value. It is calculated that slavery will thus cease within the period above named, as the law is aided by emancipation societies. BOUX. In Astoria, Feb. 10. 188(5, to the wife of J. W.IIare, a daughter.
