We have a big stock of material and Del takes daily delight in turning out good work at very low figures. Outgoing state treasurer Hirsch has turned over to incoming state treasurer Webb 382,000, and the now official says he is going to count every cent of it himself. Just think of it oounting $382,000! Why it takes us fifteen minutes sometimes to count a dollar and sixty cent3. The funeral of the late Chas. P. MofFatt took place yesterday after noon. The body was conveyed to the Presbyterian church, and thence to the boat and the place of interment at Clatsop, accompanied by the fire department and a large gathering of friends and acquaintances. Emma Abbott and her opera com pany of distinguished artists, com prising 51 persons, will be hero on the 31st inst., providing a guarantee of $1,000 can be given for a perform ance.

Talking of the new tug Donald in the light of the terrible wreck record of'the north Washington coast, and the wrecking gear of that vessel, the San Francisco Daily Commercial News pertinently says: "If the fu ture is to be judged by recent events, a wrecking steamer of her capacity would find plenty of employment in the vioimty of the Straits of Fuca." Gov. Moody was the chief executive officer of this state for four years, three months and twenty-nine and three fourths days, about four months long er than the term for which he was elected. This was occasioned by a change in the time of meeting of the legislature from September to Janu ary. No one ever served two full terms as governor of Oregon, though Gov. Grover came very near it. In the circuit court yesterday, the case of Braunschweiger vs. Gure Ar vold, was on trial. After evidence and argument the case was given to the jury, which found a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $227. The grand jury returned four true bills, and one not a true bill. Olaf Kyn sijowii and Peter Suomela renounced all allegiance to foreign prince or po tentate, and court adjourned to this morning. The O. B. &. N. Co.'s shops at The Dalles have shut down indefinitely. On Christmas, says the News, the men were notified of a shut down until New Year's, and since then have been told that their services were no longer needed. The suspension of work is in accordance with orders from headquarters in New York, and is believed to have some connection with the lease of the O. B. & N. Co. to the Union Pacific.

The senate and house met in joint convention at ten o'clock this morning to hear Gov ernor Moody's excellent retiring ad dress and Governor Pennoyer's inau gural.

Two po licemen, who exercised their author ity in the assembly chamber yester day, were arrested to-day, but were at once admitted to bail; the object of the arrest simply being to lay a ground for proceediugs against Gov ernor Abbott, who decided the police men's actions. The purpose of allow ing the regular Democrats to organize the assembly on their own basis was abandoned, and the house met this morning with speaker Baird in the chair, and the members elected were sworn in. TURKEY AND HULQARI V. Constantinople, Jan. 12. The mission of Zankoff to Turkey it is expected will be without any definite result. Zankoff helped to obtain the assent of the porte to the resumption of power in Bulgaria, but it is unlike ly that he will gain-support, as it is considered impracticable that he should be placed in office in view of the position to him of the Bulgarian army and people.

FRANCE AND GERMAN?. Paris, Jan. 12. The speech of Bis marck in the German reichstag yes terday, has created a deep impression here and the general impression is that it does not increase the prospects of peace.

The importance of the salmon in dustry to Astoria, Clatsop county, and the lower Columbia generally, is tersely illustrated by the following figures, being a close estimate of the amount of money expended for the season of 18S6. COST OF MATERIAL. Tin nlate, 74,000 boxes S523 ". 8 38S,500 Salmon twine 205,200 Cotton " 25,000 Lines 26,600 Lead for Lines 7,500 Floats 4.000 Boats, wear and tear, paint repair.ete 38,000 Tan bark for nets 1,900 Pig tin for making solder 50,122 Lead " "' " 10,450 Salt, Liverpool and coarse 2,000 Lacquer 8,550 Turpentine 6,460 Cordwood 19,760 Hardcoal 1,862 Charcoal 15,200 Acid and zinc 4,000 Oils of various kinds 4,000 Improvements and neces sary repairs 38,000 Copper and making up. . . 2,000 Insurance 32,376 Hauling 12,540 Freight 5,000 Labels 32,400 Boxes 07,500 Taxes 11,400 Total $1,020,320 COST OF HBOR.

Including every detail of the work it is a safe estimate to say that the Lower Columbia salmon canneries expend annually $2,500,000, the greatest part of which goes into circulation in this immediate vicin ity. Pretty Women at Washlngtou, There is to be sharp rivalry between the married and single belles and beauties this winter. Somebody has predicted that this is to be a "beau ty" season. Since the hostess of the White House has such an undisputed claim to good looks, the matter has taken another and an interesting complication. 1 find the married beauties looking superb this winter, and their good clothes are something marvelous in cost aud variety. In the diplomatic circle Mrs. Horace Helyar, the English beauty, whose dazzling complexion, fluffy blonde hair and exquisite toilets settled her claim two years ago, has not met many to dispute her leadership. Then there is the Baroness I'teyuba, the wife of the Brazilian minister. ;c fair second; Mrs. Don Cameron, tho prettiest young matron in town; Mrs. Representative. Hitt, of Illinois, who has soft hair and mocking rosy cheekB and is both young, beautiful and wealthy, with half a dozen others whose names and charms this minute escape memory. Among the young girls, perhaps j Miss Mitchell, the daughter of Sena tor Mitchell, of Oregon, has the fair est claim to good looks. Her com plexion is of that snowy softness that always attracts admiration. Miss Mitchell has just retnrned from n second sojourn abroad, and is greatly sought after by thevbeaux in foreign circles. Closely disputing her honors is Mies Dolph, the daughter of the senior senator, from Oregon, whose style of beauty in direct contrast to Miss Mitchell's, is the brunette type. Miss Dolph has snapping black eyes, almost correct features, and while not as handsome as her mother, is always rated among the pretty girls. Miss Alice May, whose marriage to the English yacht designer, J. Beaver Webb, is to be solemnized here in January, is among the reign ing beauties. The English minister's 3'oungest daughter. Miss Amelie West, is quite attractive and with the roseate hue which always surrounds legation life, will bloom into a real beauty before the season is paHt. Corr, Hartford Post. Renews Her Youth.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely .benefited the con sumers, as well as relieving the, -burden of home manufacturers. Especial ly is this the case with Green's August Floicer and Boschee's Ger man Synip, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bot tles containing these remedies, there by giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German , Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of in creased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the'same size, THEORY OF GOSSIP. It is often asked: "What is gossip?" In a general way it is talking of per sons rather than things. Nothing shows the paucity of ideas more than this talking about the affairs of one's neighbors. It is not only malicious people who originate scandal it is narrow minded people, ignorant people, stupid people. Per sons of culture and intelligence are notrso hard run for topios of conver sation. They oan usually find some thing to say3about art, literature, fashion or sooiety. The moment people begin to talk about their neighbors of persons rather than things, they are apt to degenerate into scandal; for where one speaks of" the virtues of, an ac quaintance, a dozen expatiate on his or her shortcomings. And this brings us to speak of real culture, or what we consider to be such, at least. A cultivated person, in the highest sense of the term, is not merely one who can talk of books, piotures and other elevated subjects of human interest. To be thoroughly qultivatod, the heart, as well as the intellect, should bo refined and enlarged. Sometimes we see women who, without edu cation, and who, having been born amiable, are never guilty of gossip. Again, are seen womenuofr natur ally amiable, whom education has taught to talk of things, not of per sons. The perfect woman, in this ro-i spect, is one who is both amiable and educated. But education does not always elevate people above tho re gions of gossip. .- - t- -r A really bad hear! is -always ma licious. The best advice to give is the homely old adage: "Mind your own business." When a person entertains you with spicy ridicule of his or her friends, "showing up" their various imperfec tions and weaknesses, take your hat aud go. ' If you need any comfort, there will be sufficient in the fact that you will undoubtedly furnish your share of amusement to the next arrival. Seal your ears to all snoh ''confidences.'' Very few of us ever know the whole truth about "anything concerning a neighbor; and to speak of his or her conduct is usually to run the risk of being unjust. Muoh less should we talk of the motives of others. Yery few of us know our own motives, and to venture on discussing a neighbor's motives is always impertinence, and often a crime.
