ASTORIA. OREGON:
SUNDAY.
FEBRIARY 1.1880
In the rich quarters of Paris the
births are 11 per 1,000; in the
poor quarters, 40. This explains
vhy the population of France on
ly doubles itself in 1G5 years.
A journal has been started in
Chicago, entitled The Hog. It is
devoted to swine. It will doubt
less refrain from casting too many
pearls before its constituency.
The Richard Hush which sailed
from San Francisco Jan. 2nd for a
cruise among the Aleutian islands
in search of the missing whaler
Amethyst, has returned after an
unsuccessful search.
"Lucky" Baldwin, the Califor
nia millionaire, was taught a good
lesson by a California jury last
Friday which awarded Miss Per
kins 73,000 damages from con
tact with the aged roue.
It is reported from Seattle that
a general strike exists among the
coal mines in that region. It is
thought that all the mines will shut
down, thus throwing 1,000 men
out of employment.
A correspondent (?) in Fri
day's Oregonian asks this paper
some questions. The questions
seem to have been intended to
demonstrate the silliness of their
authort and if so they certainly
served their purpose.
The disarmament of the- Indians
after the Kiel rebellion is said to
have been a farce, the redskins
hiding and retaining all their good
guns. They lack ponies, however,
and the settlers anticipate an era
of horse stealing when spring
comes.
The Boston Jieacon, a religious
journal, comes forward with the
comforting assurance that the ex
pression, "a hell of a time," is not
profane. The word "hell," it ex
plains, is a survival of an old Ger
man word, which meant first,
ringing, loud, noisy; second, visi
ble, evident, manifest.
A bee Ijeeper has discovered
that after being stung by bees a
certain number of times he ceased
feeling any effects from stings.
Those who have received a suc
cession of verbal and written stings
usually become equally free from
pain, a wise provision of nature in
the mental as well as the physical
organization.
In Mexico the morning news
papers are sold in the streets the
evening before, for they go to
press about five o'clock in the
afternoon. The Sunday morning
papers are sold Saturday night,
and there are none ready for Mon
day, so that in Mexico there is no
Sunday newspaper work done, and
no Sunday newspaper; but just
where the moral advantage comes
in, even a long sojourn in Mexico
fails to make plain.
Representative Morrow, of
California is working to secure a
ruling by the treasury department
that will prevent the coming of
Chinese to this country in transit.
Last year 11,000 Chinese came to
the United States in transit, and
they were lost sight of as soon as
they arrived in the country. This
attempted evasion of the law Mr.
Morrow hopes to put an end to,
and, as the treasury department
was willing to rectify its error in
permitting consular officers to
issue certificates to Chinamen, it is
believed it will be qeually willing
to prohibit transit frauds.
Ik the senate, on the 19th, Sen
ator Mitchell introduced a bill
-which has for its object recognition
of the rights of those settlers who
purchased lands from the North
ern PaciBc railroad company with
in what was known as the limits
of the terminal location of that-
road at Wallula. Title to this
body of land is affected by the re
oent ruling of Land Commissioner
Sparks, which changes the termin
al location, and in effect decides
that thee land were originally
erroneously included within the
limits of the Northern Pacific
grant. Ihe bill proposes to per
mit these settlers who are living
on these lands, to perfect their ti
tle by purchasing from the gov
ernment, at the rat& of $1.25 per
acre, the amount of land they had
contracted for with the railroad
company.
This is from Civil Service Com
missioner Edgerten: "When I
was in congress in 1852, I repre
sented thirteen of the northwest
counties of Ohio. I came in at a
time when there was a change of
party and my party had the presi
dency. Before I started for
Washington I resolved that no
constituent of mine should have an
office if I could help it, and none
of them got into the government
through me. Positions under the
government have a bad effect upon
the men who accept them, and the
government service is not a sphere
which I would invite any young
friend of mine to enter. If he is
a bright fellow he can make as
much any where else, and if he is
not bright the govern ment doesn't
want him."
