in ftc gaHs dorian. ASTOltlA. OKEGON: SUNDAY DECEMBER 16. 1887 The wholesale liquor license in Ful ton county, Ga., in which the city of Atlanta is located, has been fixed by the commissioners at 1,G00 per year. The National Italian Lino steamer Chandemager last Tuesday landed 1,327 passengers at Castle Garden, consisting of men, women and chil dren picked up at Italian ports. The supreme court of Indiana has made the highly commendable ruling that railroad employes have the right to summarily eject from a train any passenger who may use improper lan guage in the presence of ladies. Tnn rate proposed by the govern ment postal telegraph bill is 10 cents for each twenty words and 5 cents for each additional ten words, is fixed for distances of under 500 miles and an additional rate of five'eents for each 230 miles over 500. A night rate of 35 oenls aud a day rate of 75 cents is fixed for each 100 words transmitted for newspapers, except that where the same dispatches are dropped off at more than one office the rates shall be 25 and 4.5 cents respectively for each dropped copy. At the meeting of the Republican club at New York last Friday, Gros venor, of Ohio, offered the following resolution, which caused a sensatien: Whereas, It is the opinion of this national convention . of Republican clubs that no man who at any time de nounced Abraham Lincoln, while he was president of the United States, as a "buffoon aud clown," or who ever declared from his seat in the United States senate that no man should de nounce Jefferson Davis as a traitor, in his presence and go unrebuked by him, or in his official capacity as sec retary of the interior ordered that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-mast on the occasion of the death of Jacob Thompson, or who, as United States senator, many years af ter the war, refused to vote that the tenth and fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution are valid and binding, ought to be ap pointed to, or hold the high office of justice of the supreme court of the United States; therefore, Resolved, That L. Q. C. Lamar ought not to have been appointed a justice of said court The Birmingham, Alabama Age, a Democratic journal, has the following remarks on the president's message: i4The part status to be developed by the message may be defined as fol fel fol eows: The Republicans will tacitly evade or avoid the negro alliance in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. They will practically eliminate the negro from politics, and on this line of action w ill strike out to capture the while vote pronounced ly opposed to the president's theories. They will proceed after this method for two reasons. First, they have no cause to expect a change in the visible negro vote, if it be true, as they al lege, that no matter how cast, it is never cointed, save to one end. Next, should the Republican parly bo able to enlist the local support of the whites to anj' considerable extent, these would of themselves demand the free vote and fair count of the ballots of the negroes. It may be thus readily perceived that the Repub licans would not count it a loss to suspend their traditional sympathy with ihe negro for their own and the negro's good. That this move will be made by the Republicans there can be no doubt. The Democratic masses of the Union will repudiate Mr. Cleve land's theories. They reflect the pe ciliar conditions of New York city, whose interests demand free trade. The' are opposed to the overmaster ing interests of the people of the in terior. The course of the president will disorganize the Democracy and for the reasons stated it will revolu tionize the policy of the Republican party in the south. The decisions of the supreme court on the Virginia bond case, the Kansas prohibition case and the Illinois anarchists case have incalculably affected the south ern people. These decisions have es tablished the theory of stale rights, and they emanate from a Republican court These facts taken in conjunc tion will be all the more decisive of a disruption of party discipline, and all the more conducive to a full and free discussion by the peo ple of the great paramount questions of the day.'

HOW TO GBOIT OLD. A Clean Mind In a Clean Body Will Defy tbe Ravages of Time. It is easy to grow old, as easy as breath ing, it reqniring no conscious effort And so long as wo shall breathe ago will creep remorselessly on, its advancing tread measured by our heart-beats. But it is hard to grow old gracefully. The angelic innocence of infancy as intelli gence awakens in tbe infant mind and experience hardens the infant heart flies back to the angels. It is not a continu ous earthly possession. The struggle for life in this joyful world stamps its wicked impress alike upon our countenances and our characters. But there are people who are wickeder than they appear to be, and there are others who are not so wicked as they look. Our inward and our outward semblance do not keep an even pace so that the mind or a man may be surely indicated by his appear ance. Some of us may have easy fortune and bad health. Others may have lives of hardship and be blessed with good health and merry hearts. A rich man loaded with dyspepsia as well aB gold and gear may be old and sour and mis anthropic at the ago of forty, while his coachman, blessed with content and a good digestion, will look cherry, com fortable and serene above the ago of sixty. As a life of ease and luxury offers no guarantee against wrinkles and gray hairs, and as a life of labor and hard knocks does not surely bring on prema ture decrepitude, there is left open a field of inquiry into the method of keeping rntner ximo on ms gooa Deuavior, bo that his ravages shall be kept undisclosed as long as possible. There are as many ways of preserving a youthful appearance as thero are men and women who try to do it One gen tleman of the writer's acquaintance who is going gayly through his 60s, and who looks to bo still in his 40s, ascribes his wonderful preservation to the constant uso of the Turkisk bath. Unquestion ably he has hit upon one of the grand secrets of juvenility. It is proverbial that cleanliness is next to godliness, but a clean skin and a clean shirt tends also to calm the temper and promote bodily ease. Is it going too far to say that a man or woman freshly bathed and cleanly clothed is less likely to perpetrate any form of dishonesty than one not so cleansed and so attired? The writer thinks not. In support of this theory there comes freshly to the writer's mind the case of a man, the pink of neatness "the glass of fashion and the mold of form" who fell into tho habit of peri odical and protracted spree3. For days before tho beginning of a debauch his close friends could note a carelessness in his dress, an omission of his daily bath. By this sign they learned to know when an outbreak was imminent. His de bauch might last for days or weeks, dur ing which time he would never change his clothing. Suddenly he would cry a halt, and, while still in a state of intoxi oation verging upon oblivion, would bathe, shave, shampoo and array him self in his best, and from that moment would again be a gentleman until an other erratic period drew near. Who shall say that if by some occult means he could nave been continually Kept up to his habitual cleanliness and tidiness of person he would have fallen from grace? Not that tbe soiled linen was tho cause of the demoralization in the be ciuninc, but that the clean linen would have helped him to combat it mora suc cessfully. Jsut to return. All tho great forms of religion insist up on bodily cleanliness. Tho hygienic sys tem formulated by Hoses can hardly be improved upon with all the advancement of modern science. The Koran is rigid as to parity of tho person. But the mind must also be kept clean. If lhat could be wholly done, tho innocent look of childhood might be always preserved to us. Uur races would crow strong and noblo and reverend, without becoming. as they now do, the outward evidence of ignoble thoughts and purposes. Man, like other animals, was made to live the greater part of the time out of doors. Out-of-door exercise is essential to vigor of body, and vieor of body is es sential to youthfulness of appearance. it is mo inuoor connuement or women the constant breathing of overheated and vitiated air and the necessary neglect of natural forms of exercise that makes their beauty fade permanently. It is as natural for girls to romp and pla' in tho open air as it is for colts to do so, and the health and strength of the horso would bo vitally impaired by the hot house bringing-up which the girls have to undergo before they attain to years of maturity. Avarice is said to bo tho vice of ago. However that may be, it ib the sordid passion that quickest contorts tho body to its own likeness. Perhaps this is ac counted for by reason of tho multiplicity of meanness that gather under the cloak of greed. It does not spare anybody, not even its own victim. He pinches himself as well as others. Premature age follows upon undue greed forriches with as much certainty as premature weakness over takes tho victim of consumption. Kind ness goes out of the eye, sympathy for sakes tho heart, tho voice hardens, tho whole aspect of tho visago becomes me tallic. Shakespeare makes Cresar say that cowards die many times before their death. And so they do. And so do thou sands upon thousands of persons who grant their lives away. They make themselves old with imagined aches and pains and anticipated distress. It is not good to give way to megrims. Anticipa tion brings tho misery that it looks for. If we think we are sickwe.shall bo sick. If wo anticipate decrepitude it will run to meet us. Borrowing trouble is another fruitful causoof gray hairs and crowsfeet. And this is a weakness more common in wo men than in men; for while a man may bo unduly nervous and worried about his business and other affairs of import, his wife will fret over trivial affairs. She worries about the dust on the furniture, the scorched or underdone bread, the style of her bonnet or the fit of her gown, and these things make her old as surely as do real troubles. Lt us then keep clean minds in clean bodies. Let us not take too much stock in this world's goods. Let us keep light hearts, and interest ourselves in tho hap piness and enjoyment of others. By bo doing, we may grow old without feeling old, and without looking old that is, wo will grow old gracefully.

The schooner Teaser, with seven Gloucester fishermen on board, sailed last night for a cruise off the cape looking for halibut. She will spend some time on the fishing banks near the cape to determine if hal-'but can be caught there in the wi r. There are plenty of these fine fish jff the banks in the summer season, I nt they are seldom fished for in the win ter. If they cannot be found there, other points will be prospected for them. She will be absent on this cruise about ten days. This is the first experiment in an industry which promises to grow into great propor tions on the Sound in the near future. Post-Intelligencer, 16. A New Pass. Mr. Kinney, a well known expert in such matters, returned recently from an exploration of a newly discovered pass from the Columbia to the Ne halem river by way of Oak ranch creek. He says the elevation is not more than 400 feet, and that the grade is comparatively an easy one. He says the new railroad should come up the Columbia river to the Clatskanie, thence up tho Klatskanie to Oak Ranch pass, thence through to tho Nehalem. He believes the arrange ments with the Astoria people will soon be completed and the road put through. Mist, 16. CTJA Great-remedy CURES RHEUMATISM, Lumbago, Backache, Head ache, Toothache.
