Ye3terday August Danielson sent to Riksdagsman, Erick Berggren, Sundswall, Sweden, 119 crowns, n part of Astoria's contribution to the suf ferers by the late great fire in Sweden. There was a singular verdict in Portland last Tuesday, when A. Nash, a man with several thousand dollars in his possession, was found guilty of vagrancy. What is a "vagrant," any how? The pilot schooner C. G. While is at the Main Mtreet wharf. The Gov. Moody is outside. The two take turn about, one always being outside with enough pilots aboard for all re quirements. G. Anstinson has leased the vacant lot on Squenioqua street between Hughes & Co's and M. C. Crosby's, and will put up a two story building, a millinery and another "store to be below and a lodging house above. John B. Winders, of San Francisco, is hero to organize the printers of this state. The Lord knows they need organizing and if John can do the job so they'll stay organized for about throe days, he's a good one. Sometime ago the cu lleiCorwin went from here to Sna Francisco for repairs. The repairs beiug concluded the ques tion arises why doesn't she return. Thi3 is what E. O. Holdeu, the secre tary of the chamber of commerce, will ask C. J. Fnirchild, the secretary of the treasury. The litllo steamer Novelty arrived yesterday. She left Cook's Inlet, Alaska, August 22nd, and came the inside passage. She Hies the Alaska Commercial company's flag and looks as if a little cleaning np wouldn't hurt her. Geo. Goodell returned in her as engineer. There is an eastern man hero who is going into the business of sending sturgeon, or "sea bass" east, where there is a good demand for it. lie thinks also of putting up caviare, or the preserved roe or tne sturgeon, which, as prepared in Russia, is con sidered a great delicacy. The remains of the late Otto Parker will be buried at two o clock this af ternoon. The funeral will be from F. H. Snrprenant's undertaking rooms, Tne interment win oe on tue musiue. There will be religious services at the grave. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend. New halliards Vera roye on the school house flag yesterday and the cqlqrs flown at half-mast in respect to the memory of the late Otto Parker, a former pnpil of that school. The flag of the Parker house was also at half-mast. The remains of the de ceased are expected to. arrive to-day, for interment here. The Juvenile Opera company, now in Portland, are getting deservedly fine notices from the Portland press. They will be here next Tuesdav and Wednesday in the "Chimes of Nor mandy," and the over popular "Pina fore." The sale of reserved seats be gins nest Saturday at the New York Novelty store. There's a man in Pittsburg who has 8100,000 that says Cleveland will be elected president, and a man in New York city who is just aching to bet S100.000 that Harrison will get there. Now it would doubtless be a mutual relief to those two men if they could get together for about live minutes, long enough to sign agreement and get a certificate of deposit. A newspaper reporter on his mid night rounds sometimes sees things that are funny and other things that are fraught with woeful prophecy for years to come. Some of the parents of this town wonld do well to look after their boys. 'Tis a duty .they owe to their children to look after their welfare, and no boy can see or hear anything good prowling around the streets at night A southern Oregon man believes in tne law of compensation. Like the patent pill man who left a million dollars to build an insane asylum, tnus giving the money back to the man he got it from, this southern Oregon man, repenting of the thou sand cases of colic and stummick misery he occasioned, proposes to turn 100,000 pounds of watermelons he has left over into syrup. A San Francisco dispatch of the 25th says: An action has been brought in the superior court by the Alaska Improvement company to re cover S5.000 from Wm. T. Coleman & Co., and for cause of action avers that in April last the Alaska company purchased of Coleman & Co. 10,000 cases of tin cans to be used for salm on packing for $9,120, the cans being in Astoria, Oregon, and warranted to be in good order. It was afterwards discovered that a large portion of the cans are rusty -and unfit for salmon packing. There was a comedy yesterday morning which better marksmanship would have transformed into n trace- dy. A presumed lady, whose bus band is at work in a neighborinc loir gingcamp, a "lover," and a waiter in a restaurant were the actors and the lady's domicile the scene. The waiter, was evidently de trop, as the party in possession fired at him from the window. Had his ability been equal to his inclination one promi nent restaurant man would have been looking for a new waiter yesterday. As it turned out the affair furnished considerable fnn for tho lnnlrnra nn No arrests. The Seattle Times says: "Ayonng lady yesterday stepped into an em ployment office in this city and said she was the owner of 160 acres of good land in Snohomish county, with sixty acres cleared. She said she had also a small sum of money, and her object was to secure a husband who would work the farm and make her a good consort. She left her address with the agent, and solicits corre spondence from any one who wishes to secure a steady situation and a home. The young lady was hand some, and her eyes had a business snap.'' Yes, and it's that eye busi ness that gives the snap away. Cleveland nnd Harrison hats are not very plenty this fall, but there are lots of buttons and badges being worn. Puck is very sovere on men who pnt what it calls n "trademark" on themselves by conspicuously wear ing a button or some emblem, with "C & T.." or "H. & M.," on it. But that is all right. A man has a perfect right to wear n party badge if he feel? like it, and the average man is very fond of an opportunity to don some kind of a badge or regalia. Half the run or belonging to a lodee of some kind or other is the right to have a medal or a charm on yonr watch choiu with "T. L. X. R. G. P. D. Q." on u. nut as to campaign buttons, the main point "which way am your musket n pintin' to-day?" nnd how will you vote on November 6th, but ton or no button? Under the electric street light in front of The Astorian office every morning lie little cylinders that look like a cross between aenrtridge and a lead pencil. They are bits of carbon discarded by the boy who daily trims the light and fixes the dingus that makes the light burn sometimes. Of these little carbons there are 150, 000 burned every night in the United States. Of these 100,000 are manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio. Six years ago all the carbons burned in the country were made in a single room in Boston. Now there are twenty carbon furnaces in Cleveland alone. The carbons are made of what is left after oil is refined; this is ground into fine powder and a little pitch being added, tho stuff is pressed in moulds and then burned in a fur nace. - The offshore towage" is the latest development .regarding bar towage. It is something believed to be un heard of on the coast. Ship captains who have been in the business all their lives say it is a new thing to them. The Dmiboyne was asked S150 "oil shore ' towage, and refused, and was finally brought in for the sched ule rates as advertised by the O. R. & N. Co. When the Villalta was towed in the Escort made a demand for S50 "offshore" towage, which was acceded to. The master of the Vil lalta says he was between seven and eight miles from the cape at th,e time. He hag made a request of the compapy for a rebate. The tonnage of the Villalta is 866, the rate for towing in over the bar, to Portland and return and out ngain, is $900, about which there is no kick, but that $50 "off shore" towage doesn't set well, and the claim is made that the charge for "off shore" towage is un usual, unwarranted and unfair. There are charges enough on Ooluin, bia river commerce without going out of the way "to put on additional cinches. The weather that we've been hav ing ever since Saturday is enough to make a tramp out of a man. When the rain is falling and the wind is piping, and you can't see half way across the river, it is all well enough to work, but those glorious days, with earth and air and sea and sky in perfect harmony entice one away from work. The streets are hot and you get tired of these eternal planks, and the police court, and the city council, and the roadway, and the man who gets mad it you put his name in the paper and madder if you don't; and just over yonder is Saddle mountain, and sparkling water, brill iant sun and cloudless sky, and quiet recesses, and trout, and elk, and healthful zest of hunting and coming tired into camp and getting a rest. Talking about camping, getting a crowd of three or four and taking some grub along, did you ever notice that when anyone is out in the woods on a tramping, or on a camping expe dition that he comes out in full bloom and is his mammy's own bov? If there's a mean streak, 'a selfish thought, or a whine in one it 11 come to the surface when he is camping, and one of that breed can break up a combination quicker than an acci dent. They say if you take a man when he is wet, tired and hungry, and still good-natured, and dry, rest, and fill him up, you have an angel. Probably, but few would stand the test And, talking of tramps, it is to be said that the climate of Oregon is not conducive to the creation of tho tramp. There is too much body to the atmosphere and tho surround ing wetness is too prevalent for that careless, happy-go-lucky specimen of humanity, who flourishes in dryer climes. Three months of this kind of weather would bring out that latent tramp feeling that is in every man, but which, like the core of an onion, is wrapped around by the su perficial layers of breeding and con ventionality. In some ways the tramp has pleasures in life that some of us have' missed. The only thing that keeps the average man from being a tramp is the consciousness of his identity. The fun of it is that that 1h exactly what makes tramps of a part of mankind. PERSONAL MENTION. Councilman Welch has returned. Mrs. Jno. Taylor has returned to Salem. S. M.
