ASTORIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY MARCH 12. 1SS3.
The Freeman's Journal of Dublin
raised $175,000 for the Parnell defense
fund.
Boulanger thinks Britain should
evacuate Egypt, and believes that if
he were in power he could bring it
about.
Tun business men of Kansas City
have decided to make that town the
greatest manufacturing city in the
west
It was so cold in Kane City, Penn.,
last week that people had to build
fires under the cows before they could
be milked.
The project of building a light
house on the Diamond Shoal off Hat
teras, eleven miles out at sea, has tak
en definite shape.
Northern Minnesota has ice eleven
feet thick on the lakes and does not
expect to get rid of her 40-foot snow
banks, before the middle of June.
A Minnesota man offers the sug
gestion, prompted doubtless by the re
cent blizzard, that South Dakota bo
named kota, and North Dakota, Over-
kota.
A max iu western Dakota says he
saw a blizzard born. It started on the
top of a bare hill and was a ball of
white fog no larger than his hat when
he first saw it.
RnoDE Island's action in deciding
not to adopt the Australian ballot
until January 1, 1890, makes Massa
chusetts the first state to actively
adopt the system.
A London surgeon Bays that busi
ness men who occupy offices above the
third story get llighty after a few
years, and unless making a change,
become mildly insane.
A Wisconsin lady named Mrs. Dris-
coll, killed her husband by cutting off
his head with a dull ax, last Wednes
day. There was a sharp as in the
kitchen , but sho used a dull one.
Tun London Times will be com
pelled to pass its dividends this year,
owing to the great expense incurred
iu the Parnell investigation. A cir
cular to that effect has been sent to
the shareholders.
Almost anything is insanity, says a
New York doctor. If you laugh hear
tily, get mad, forget anything, drop a
letter into the postoffice without a
stamp, you can be called insane
This should not prevent hanging for
murder, though.
Prince Bismarck's opinion that the
cabinet crisis in France will result in
the accession to power of General
Boulangeris well known in Berlin,
and there are few persons in German
ministerial circles who do not regard
his triumph as a near probability.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
The south is making bigger strides
in the way of industrial development
than has over before been made by
any soction on tho face of the earth in
the same length of time, and is now
going ahead with the intention of
beating its own record.
- . .
Tnc Bangor Commercial has the
courage to relate that two fishermen
at Pnshaw Lake, who baited u hook
with shiner and put it tliro:i;h the
ice, noticing a great commotion pres
ently, took it from the water, when it
was found that a white perch weigh
iug half a pound had first swallowed
the bait, and then an enormous pick
erel had swallowed the percfl and its
prize. It is said that tho goods were
produced to vouch for the story.
Li Hen Poi, the Jay Gould of Chi
na, is not worth so much as first sup
posed. His wealth was estimated
when he first arrived in New York tho
other day at 830,000,000. This mis
take may have arisen from the differ
ence in tho monetary unit of the two
countries. It takes 1,200 Chinese
coins to make one American dollar,
hence a Chinaman becomes a million
aire when he aoquiros 3833, and ho
may bo fifty times a millionaire, as Li
Hen Poi is reported to be, and only
be worth 311,630.
Merit Wins.
Wc desire to say to our citizens, that
we have been selling Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King's
New Life Pills. Bucklen's Arnica Salve
and Electric Bitters, and have never
handled remedies that sell as well, or
that have given such universal satisfac
tion. We do not hesitato to guarantee
theni every time, and we stand ready to
refund the purchase price, if satisfac
tory results do not follow their use.
These remedies have won their great
popularity purely on their merits. J.
