On Wednesday evening Jack Wher

broken." Her hull is in rather bad
condition, and the machinery and

If there is one man who deserves
to be hanged without benefit of the
clergy, it is the ono who sends you a
letter, requesting a reply, and signs
his name with such a combination
of insane flourishes that the prince of
darkness wouldn't be able to read it
This man will frequently write very
plainly from the beginning of a letter
to the end, and then, taking it for
granted that yon are perfectly famil
iar with his name, get up on the pen
and ride it all over the bottom of the
page, under the'NlBression that he is
appending his signature.
It speaks well for a town the size
of Astoria, a seaport town withal,
with the mixed population thereby
implied, that the city ordinances de
manding good behavior on the part
of citizen and stranger, sailor and
land lubber alike, are so seldom vio
lated that the office of police judge is
almost a sinecure. We congratnlate
tho judge and the city, but
ask for sympathy and kind
consideration from the numerous
subscribers to the newspaper that
has the largest circulation of any
paper published on tho Columbia
river, The Astoeias of course, for
the unfortunate reporter who is de
prived of these legitimate items,
where items are scarce. But here is
an item made out of nothing this
time, anyhow.
This office is in reoeipt of a bound

THE GOSPEL MEETINGS.
The afternoon devotional meeting
and Bible reading, was conducted by
Mr. Studd, in the Congregational
church yesterday. -There were a
goodly number ot Christians present,
the majority being largely in favor of
the ladies. The singing was con
ducted by Mr. Burke, who played his
own accompaniment on n small or
ganette. It is certain that this tal
ented musician no matter what he
touches can bring out all the music
there is in it There is an unmistak
able power in sacred song, to raise
the tenderest emotions in the human
heart, and to prepare it for the recep
tion of divine truth. Mr. Moody
recognizes this fact, and has been
heard to say that he believed as many
persons had been converted under
the consecrated singing of Mr. San
key, as has been saved through the
influence of his preaching. The sub
ject of Mr. Studd's Bible reading was
"Uhnstian unity' the beauty ot it
illustrated by the three verses 133d
realm, ".Behold bow good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity," and the
power of it exemplified in the 3rd
chapter of Acts, in the descent of the
Uoly Ubost on the day of v entecost
as a result of the prayer meeting held
by the disciples ot Christ in the
upper chamber at Jerusalem after his
ascension, they continuing 'there
with ono accord in prayer till the
promised blessing came. Mr. Studd's
bible readings aro beautiful in their
simplicity and striking in their orig
inality, and ho is never at a loss fur
an illustration to explain more forci
bly his conception of its meaning.
The attendance at the opera houso
was not so largo as on the previous
evening, probably on account of the
rain. The half-honr song service,
led by Mr. Burke, was good, especi
ally the chorus by tho choir, ''Christ
Arose," and the solo by Mr. Burke,
"What will you do with Jesus."
After prayer by Bev. A. LeBby, Mr.
Studd read the narrative of the raising
of Lazarus, which he made the sub
ject of bis address. The incidents
connected with this miracle, he saw,
brought out in a wonderful manner,
the love, sympathy and power of
Christ. He did not think the most
elaborate sentence that could be
formed could possibly give a deeper
inrigbt into the hnman sympathy
which dwelt in Christ's heart, than
does the two simple words, "Jesus
wept." From this the speaker dwelt
at length on the power and willing
ness of Christ to raiso to newness ot
life here and eternal life hereafter all
those who, though spiritually dead,
aro willing to forsake their sins', re
pent and believe on Him.
At the conclusion of Mr. Stndd's
earnest appeal, Mr. Burke, sang an
other impressive solo, "The Ninety
and Nine," and prayer was offered by
Bev. W. A. Hutchison. A short after
meeting was announced, to which
many remained.
Services for to-day are: Meeting at
3 r. m., in the Congregational church,
and at 7 p. M., song service com
mences at the opera house.

Mean Strength of the Army.
In his annual report, surgeon
general Moore says of the United
States army that the mean strength
of the army for the year, including
officers and both white and colored
enlisted men, is stated at 23,841, ot
which 21,601 were whites and 2,240
were colored. The total admissions to
sick report were 29,727; white, 26,600,
colored, 3,127; ratio of all admission
per 1,000 of all mean strength 1,231.42
white, and 1,395.08 colored; deaths'
