m fa gaily tforinn. ASTORIA. OKEGON: TUESDAY. -JANUARY 31. 18S8 Nododt can predict -with confidence what will be done or seriously at tempted in the way of tariff legisla tion at this session of congress. The "tariff reformers" are without compe tent leaders, and hardly know what they want or how to seek it Their at titude is an awkward one and may easily become come ludicrous. The premier of Canada, Sir John A. Macdonald, has expressed his hostil ity to a commercial treaty with the United States. His words are: "We are in a state of gristle; the Ameri cans understand that so well that they would make any sacrifice for a market at first, simply to kill off ultimately all our manufactures."' The premier doubtless speaks without sincerity. Scm-ornciAij authority is given for the statement that the trouble over the French fishery interests in Newfoundland is about to take a seri ous turn, French fishermen, since the passage of the bait bill, have consulted their government and it is said with their sanction and support are now fitting out a crew of vessels for bait fishing purposes, which will be pro tected by cruisers. They will also claim the exclusive right of fishing on the coast now held by them. Both English and French fishermen are arming,aud arc preparing to use force to protect their interests. Governor Lamot of St, Pierre and the French aumirai 01 tue station arc now in France in consultation with the French government. Tun rights in a German invention for subduing the waves with oil have been purchased by an officer of the North German Lloyd line. This con sists of a rocket, to which is attached a cylinder filled with oil. The rocket can be fired with accuracy, and when it explodes the oil is scattered just where it is wanted. Several interest ing experiments were made between Bremen and New York. In one the rocket was fired to a distance of 1,500 feet and less distances. By the explo sion of five rockets at a distance of from 1,200 to 1,500 feet from the ship, a space of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet of water was covered with oil and tho waves were at once smoothed. Tho rocket was fired !H)0 feet against a gale. The importance of tho inven tion to deep water sailors consists in the certainty of explosion of the rocket at a sufficient distance to leave the vessel in calm water during a gale. cathijAjiet correspondence. Catiii,aiiet, W. T., Jan. 30, 1SSS. Editou Astokian; Leonard, son of V. Andrews, went out with a canoe yesterday afternoon, and, not returning, was .supposed to be drowned. Search was mpde for him last night and was continued to day, he- being finally found, greatly to tho relief of his anxious searchers. L. S. 3Iyers was found dead in his house on Paget Island, the 21th inst. Appearances denoted that he had been dead about ten or twelvo days. and that his death was caused natur ally. Deceased was 82 years old, and a member of the Wahkiakum Secular Union. J. B. Polworth and Mr.. Edwards, of Cape Horn, were iu town yester day. Miss Minnie Sheppard is attending school in Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson went Portland Saturday. Tho family of Thos. Kent are all down with the measles, but are get ting along as well as can be expected. During tho blockade wo did not get quite so bad off as the Skamokuwans. as we had muck-a-imick enongh at Mr. Sheppard's to stand a longer freeze up than that, but the mail was missed very much. Vint as. THE SEW SUPREME JUDGE. Cosslp About Lamar-How lie TTorls and Wrltes-HI Jersey Cattle-Ills LoTe of Byron. . Lamar, like Beck, keeps his most pre cious dnpilmpntc in o V.ni--nl nw tAnnn. 1 them scattered over his desk. When he aius a paper lie stirs up the pile until lie finds it, and he shakes his mane in a rage if any ono ties up his papers in bundles. He works like a cart-horse, or? rather like a blooded mare in a tread mill. Ho will jump at his work and rush along until lie almost drops from exhaustion. Then lie goes to sleep and rests like a baby for ten or twelve hours at a stretch and awakes as fresh as a daisy. He has tired out all the men around the department and kept several secretaries busy. Sometimes he would think he was sick, and then ho would retire to his house and have himself de nied to all callers. His papers would be sent there to him ana his shorthand man would be with him. He would work lying down, and, his secretary tells me, would do more than at the office. At the Interior Department hu had a little room in a secluded pa it of the building to which lie often slipped to get away from his callers, and it was here that his hardest work was done. He was a good dictator, and he rattled off his opinions and letters at 200 words a minute, walking up and down the lloor as he did so. Now and then he would tear the air with his hands, as he he gestured in accordance with the thoughts that he uttered, and some of Lamars best speeches were thus made w ins stenographer. Lamar once told me that he couid not write easily, and his fingers turn into thumbs when he seizes the pen. He loses himself in dictation, and his de cisions as a judge would be worded in the purest of Anclo-Saxnn. Hi; u n good story teller, and he has a reminis cence between every two bites of his dinner when he cats with a friend. He is not a gourmand in his tastes, but his stomach is laree- and not daintv. He lunches on hard-boiled eggs with as much irusto as on a nnlr. ilr. fnlr nma and he is irregular as to his meals. He sometimes takes his lunch at 10 o'clock in the morning, and lie often puts it off until 2 or 4 in the afternoon, and there iiuve oeen cases wnere lie lias torgotlen mini iiincii and dinner in las absorption 111 llUIHUl 111 LUIUKlIlil. Outside of his family and the classics, Lamas has a hobby and that hobbv is Jersey cows. He has a herd on 'his farm in Mississippi, and he sold Senator -.uci-iiersoii me bull that took the premium at the New Jersev lairs. This bull was named "Senator Vest."' and one of Lamar's cows is named after Mrs. Senator I'almcr. A picture of this cow in oil hangs in Lamar's dining-room. Lamar lives at Oxford, and his residence is surrounded with trees. 1 have seen a painting of it with the cows and the calves gamboling before it, while La mar, witli a book in his hand, sits on tiie steps aim reads, iamar is worth from $1.-,OUO to -.'0,(K)0, anil not any more, I am sure. Much of his money is in his Jerseys, and he is not a man who has measured his life by his dollars. He nas not me accumulative bent, and, though not a great money-spender, he is jiui, .i iiioiiey-iiiaKer or saver. He is a scholar and he reads several languages. He likes to talk of the poets ium is iiiuu oi newspaper reading, lie thinks there is no one like Byron, and he quotes at times from the verses even of "Don Juan." He is a good quoter, and Ids big head is packed with gems from the newspapers. He reads manv papers, and he watches the journals o'f the cross-roads of his state. The only real failure of his life, he thinks, was in newspaper work, and this was at the close of the war. when he thought to set the country on fire by editorials for tho Oxford Falcon. Ho carved them out by the yard, and the .Falcon printed them for a time. He looked for quotations, but he told me in sadness that the pa pers did not care for his editorials, and they would pass by his3-column articles of MXMvord sentences on the "Limita tions of the Infinite" and pick up the nasty little squibs of the editor and copy them instead. After awhile Lamar's writings got into the waste basket, and. in his own woids, he con cluded that he was not fitted for an edi torial writer, and 1 imasine the editor thought so, too. N. Y. World.
