Parties fitting out canneries for outside points experience trouble in getting Chinese help, the Chinese all wanting to wait until their somewhat complicated accounts are all fully settled-up, which isn't a bad idea, from a financial point of view.

Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and won derful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. CJreasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making, the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and bo happy.

Having had a desire for some time to see the country in and about Ya- quina Day, A pacnea my grip anu started on board the Telephone last Wednesday morning, which landed me in Portland in due.time. After spending the night there with mine host C. W. Knowles, I take the east side O. & C. train at 8:15 a. ir. and at 1220 p. m. find myself in Albany, ready for dinner, which I find ready at the depot hotel. After refreshing the inner man, we step across the street where we board the Oregon Pacific train, which stands ready to start for the coast At 1:30 the con ductor is heard to say "all aboard !" the bell rings and the train moves out and npon a well built bridge across the Willamette, just below Albany; then through the fields to Corvallis where we find a very neat little depot Leaving Corvallis, we make almost a straight run to Philomath, from which place we commenced to climb the Coast Range by winding around up through the canyon, following up the Mary's river. The grade is very even and the road is very well bal lasted for so new a line. We have seen much older roads that were not in as good condition. After a long pull we reach the sum mit, which is 24 miles from Corvallis; then we commence to descend toward the coaBt, which is 48 miles from the summit Here we find for the first eight miles some very heavy grades, in places reaching 11G feet to the mile. After a run of about 80 miles down a very crooked route, one could very easily imagine himself heading forAstoria down Young's river: the hills, stream, tide land and timber all very much resemble those of the Young's river country; and as you near Yaquina bay you can smell the salt air, which is very refreshing to one coming from the hot valley on the other side. We nrrive at the head of tide water, Elk City; next we reach Toledo, seven miles above Ya quina Cit at which place we nrrive at 5:40 p. m. Here we find a large and well kept hotel belonging to the railroad company, good docks, freight sheds, etc From here to Newport, three mile3 further down the bay, al most at the mouth, being situated something like Fort Canby, just be hind a big sand hill which shelters it from the beach, there are two trans fer boats, the Montesano and the Ter resaMay. Arriving at Newport we find two good hotels, the Bay View house and the Ocean house, which are taxed to their full capacity at this season of the year. Many peo ple also are camping out on the hills above the town. We notice several general merchandise stores, butcher shops, barber shops, one restaurant and several saloons. The place has a lively appearance. We also noticed several former Astorians among the residents here: Capt Steve Babbage and family, Harry Lord and family, Capt John Welch and family, Capt John Ferrell and family, Oscar Wil son and Al. Church, all of whom are from Astoria and are in the steam boat business here. The government is pushing the work on the jetty and it is proving successful. There are three steamers running between here and San Francisco, making trips every five days. The Willamette Valley sails at 12 (noon) to-morrow, on which we will take pas sage for San Francisco.

Whether the part organization called tho American party," which is just now, undoubtedly, gaining nu merical strenctn, and attracting a good deal of attention, in San Fran cisco, will ever be a real power in the land must be left for the future to determine At present it is, perhaps, ohiefly remarkable for the enemies it has made. These opponents ask, "What's in a name?" It is tho old Know Nothing party, or its ghost, come back once more to claim that America is for the Americans, and aliens must content themselves with backseats; but the American party denies that its members are identical with the Know Nothings. They know a great deal, it says, enough, for instance to satisfy them that their native land should not be delivered over, through the medium of the ballot, to the corrupt rule of adven turous foreigners, who have left their own country for their country's good; and to this end they will strive at the next presidential election, which will be the first occasion of their couch ing their lances in a political conflict, to prevent any man other than an American-born citizen, from being placed in high office. Until that mo mentous struggle begins the actual aims and aspirations of the American party will not be likely to be gener ally understood. In the early part of this week Yee Wah, an old Chinaman, who follows the occupation of Adam for a living, was fined 8100 for manuring his veg etable garden, at the corner of Page and Pierce streets, by the simple process of tapping a sewer in the vicinity, and guiding the rich stream of garbage to tso place where he thought it would do the most good. H6 protested against his punishment, and declared that hundreds of gar deners, both Chinese and Italian, were doing the same thing in the city. The board of health is tryiug to as certain if his gme3ome assertion 3 true or false. The question of "Peach Culture on the Pacific Coast" engaged much of the attention of the horticultural so ciety at its session in this city, just closed. It was generally conceded that every part of the coast states was well adapted for the growth of peaches, and if there was any diversi ty of opinion manifested it was only referable to the latent conviction in every delegate's inner consciousness that the part of the country in which his own ranch was situated was the best An unusually large number of ladies, who had experimented iu peach growing and were desirous of obtaining new light on the subject, listened to the discussion, and showed by their appearance that the occupation was, at least, a healthy pne, and that fresh air, pnre water, and the use of Camalliue, enabled them to preserve complexions rival ing the bloom on the delicate fruit they nurtured, despite the necessary exposure to the sun, that ripens the peaoh, indeed, but may brown, or even freckle a fair cheek. Last Monday the Mongolians gave a weird birthday party, at which tne police were unbidden guests, in honor of the supposed anniversary of the nativity of Jos3. Chinatown was ablaze with lanterns and fireworks all night, and images representing re nowned departed Celestials were burned with great religious fervor. A repast that only a only a Chinese palate could truly appreciate was eaten at ii.iylight. j The weather in San Francisco ha3 een strangely raw and cold for the summer months, and the prevalonce of diptheria, scarlatina and whooping cough excites some alarm.
