There will be roller skating at the rink to-night. And now the line's dewn: no mail, no telegraph: reugh: can't help it. The State of California sailed yesterday morning for San Francisco. There were 131 business failures in Oregon, during 18S7. Liabilities, 3618,553; assets, S484.556. For the coming season ladies' visit ing cards will be smaller than hereto fore and perfectly square. The three-masted schooner Sadie F. Keller arrived in yesterday, minus her foretopmast, which was carried away in one of the recent gales. Whole cloves are now used to ex terminate the merciless and industri ous moth. It is said they are more effectual as a destroying agent than either tobacco, camphor, or cedar shavings. Counterfeit dollars are again in cir culation. They are of a glassy text ure, they ring about tho same as the genuine dollar, but can be easily de tected by the milling aiound the edge being very irregular. Frank Byrd, the mail carrier, says that the road is now open through to Lewis and Clarke's. He has had a rough time of it, as well as every one else, carrying the mail in this section for the last two weeks. Yesterday was like an April day in the northern Missippi valley; show ers and sunshine and warm west wind. The cold east wind has had its day, or its week, and the next thing will be something else. The Union says the Walla Walla city council meet every two weeks and make lots of fun, that they often break up their deliberations in a row, and that the taxpayers are swearing. Walla Walla must be a funny town. The Bonita tried it again yester day morning, and got as far as Green's Point, when she was obliged to return. There was no mail re ceived last night, and there is very little probability of getting any to day. Snow to the depth of three inches is reported above Oak Point, increas ing in depth further in the interior. From the way the wind was shifting around last night, it was an even bet whether we would have rain or snow here to-day. The Scandinavian Packing com pany are making extensive prepara tions for next season's operations at Alaska. The boat building at the As toria Iron works is for them, as are also a number of smaller boats now being built here. A California court has decided that a husband can open his wife's letters. Now, if there was only some way of getting a law passed compelling a hus band to mail his wife's letters some time the same year that she gave them to him, the women wouldn't care a snap about this other decision. Air. Jensen, the ingenious inventor, whose name is inseparably connected with the history of labor-saving ma chinery in the salmon packing busi ness on this river, is now putting tho finishing touches on a can-making machine, that, when completed, will be able to turn out sixty cans a min ute. The Astobun lost five subscribers in '87. Three "got mad" at some thing they saw in it and withdrew their patronage, which they had a perfect right to do. But as there were U17 new subscribers added to the list, the loss of the five was borne with becoming fortitude and Chris tian resignation. Smallpox has appeared in Nevada City, Bloomfieldj and one or two other Dlaces in California, and the only way that its presence in those places can be accounted lor is on me theory that it was carried to those localities from San Francisco in let ters. The utmost care is necessary in those matters to prevent the spread of that dreadful disease. The Democratic state central com mittee met in Portland yesterday af ternoon to fix npon the time and place of holding their state conven tion, and if that pesky old line had held together, that item along with other telegraphic news would have been sent U3 last night. Bunning a local column without mail or tele graph is like cooking without fire. At Benton, recently, tho wife of Wesley Boy, a farmer, gave birth to a quartette of boys and girls, two boys and two girls. This is remarka ble as it is the first of the kind that ever occurred in this state. All of the children and the mother are doing welL When the nurse first showed them to the father, he prob ably asked: "Did any of them get awayf The salvation nrmv feels that it hasn't been ratlin t anv notoriety lately, and so on the principle, "any - ?y thing to keep up the excitement and get a notice," has been making life a burden to Justice Cleveland, asking tor complaints and writs ot arrest. eta Yesterday he issued a warrant and had arrested Chas. Wickstrom, who is charged with disturbing "re ligious worship," on some occasion when present at the show. He will be tried this af tornoon. Number one. Vol. I, of the Pacific Express, which succeeds tho Prohlbi bjtion Star, is received. It is an eight-page, six-column paper, with nbout as much matter in it as in TnE Weeki.y Astoeian, gives a general resume of the world's news, and will fa the exponent and advocate of po litical prohibition. It differs from most newspapers in not being a pri vate busine33 enterprise, bat is the moutnpiece ot those who believe in prohibition. It has a clear, healthy loosz, ana will do read witn interest. Solomon was "away off." There is something new under the sun. A remedy for seasickness has been dis coverea. unewing gum. A passen ger on an ocean steamer testihes as follews: "I put a piece of gum in my mouth and began a rapid chewing, which had a pleasant and soothing ef fect and dispelled all feeling of nau sea. I soon was made happy in the knowledge that it had prevented me from falling a victim to seasick ness. I enjoyed the rolling ot the vessel and stuck right to my gum during the trip." That settles it Don't despise the day of small things. With your month full of chewing gum, you can defy Neptune. The geologist of the future, who analyzes the formation around here, will be paralyzed when he strikes be low the surface of the streets. For the streets of Astoria are fearfully and wonderfully made. The ships from afar bring ballast, which is used in street making, and gravel from Vladavostick, and pebbles from Val paraiso, and dornicks from Van Die man's Land, and paleozoic fragments from Guaymas, and peroxide of cal cium from Australia, and chunks of old red sandstone from the ends of the earth, are dumped on the streets that bear the names of the ancient Indian chiefs, Concomly, Squemoqna and Chenamus. The schooner Garfield arrive at San Francisco last Wednesday with a crew which experienced a narrow escape from death. Tho GarUeld sailed a from Port Gamble for San Francisco, and nine days out during a beavy storm, while .nil the crew were on the jibboom furling sail, an immense sea swept over the schooner carying every screed from tho boom and on to the deck with greatest vio lence. The second mate's leg was broken and one sailor had his hand crushed. The escape of the vessel was miraculous, and with great dif ficulty Bhe was brought to port, ex periencing continual rough weather and baffling and violent gales. "We commonly abuse our climate," writes an eminent authority, "on ac count of its humidity. This is a great mistake. Frequent and moderate rain, such as constitutes the charac teristic of our Oregon climate, is the most effective ot all sanitary agencies. It cleanses the ground, and, what is far more important, it cleanses the air. The ammoniacal and other ex halations, continually rising from de composing animal and vegetable mat ter, are all more or less soluble in wa ter and are largely removed by gentle rain. Besides these it absorbs and carries down into rivers and thence to the sea the excess of carbonio acid exhaled from our lungs, and produced by our fires and lights. De Saussure found that a shower ot rain removed about 25 per cent of the carbonio acid from the air over Lake Geneva. Also that there was less over the lake than over the neighboring meadows and the great elevations of the Alps where there was no water. The atmosphere over the sea contains less than one fourth of tho quantity in that over the land, .bar away at sea the quan tity is inappreciable, and at a given place on the coast it varies with the wind, increasing as it blows from the land, and vice versa." The Y. If. C. A. Book Sociable. The ladies ot the Y. M". C. A. are making arrangements for a book so ciable to be held this evening at 7 o'clock, in the association rooms. Friends are invited to bring a book, or set of books, suitable for the libra ry. Any useful work, old or new, from Webster's Unabridged to a story book will be appreciated. From 9 to 10 o'clock a geographical sociable will bo held when the gentle men may buy a town or state repre senting a young lady for ten cents. This sociable takes the place of the one advertised on the 'association programme for Friday, 13th inst, to be given by the ladies of tho Episco pal church.

Dear sir: I am fre quently troubled with severe colds, and the only remedy thnt will relieve me of them is yonr fioseJiee's German Syrup. I have used it for more than 12 years. It is a constant household companion with me. Our merchant here procured it first at my solicita tion, and says he has sold a great many bottles. It is a very popular remedy in this section. Every per son who has used it speaks in the highest terms of its merits. I do not know of a single case it has not cured. I first used it in Vermont, where I lived before coming hero. I advise everyone to use it, as it is cer tainly the best cough medicine I have ever known. I have tried nearly all of them at different times. Yours respectfully, MOSES GRAY, Proprietor Grist Mill. A Historic Old Schooner. The old schooner John Hancocl;. abandoned off Humboldt bay on the 2nd mst., was a historic old vessel. She was built forty-five years ago at Charleston for the United States gov ernment as a tug boat She was af terwards lengthened and turned into a second-rate man-of-war. She was bark-rigged. She carried the flag of commodore Perry in 1836, when ho established the treaty of that year with Japan, which threw open tho ports of that country to American commerce. Whoever finds the Jolm Hancock will have a bonanza in brass and cop per. The old propeller shaft tunnel is solid brass, and weighs 2,500 pounds. The rudder braces weigh 1,000 pounds, and are also brass. She was built of white oak and copper- lastened to tue rails. Don't Experiment.
