The Oregon and Washington land officials are about as hardworked at present as any men outside ot the newspaper offices or steamboati of the state and territory. Charles Pearson, second mate of the steamer City of Pueblo, fell down the hatchway of that vessel last uunday at Seattle and sustained in juries from which he died several hours afterwards. What a constant change goes ou in tue newspaper world I it is said of the editorial management of the papers in Seattle and Tacoma, that not one is now employed on them that was there one year ago. The Rev. G. L. Cole, corresponding secretary ot tlie 1. P. M. A. for the Pacific coast, will give an address at tue M. is. cnurcb tins evening at a p, it. on the workings of the orcaniza tiou. A cordial invitation is extended to all. G. B. Marre, of San Francisco, ate some alleged mushrooms last Tue3 nay, to show that they were sure enough mushrooms. The fact that he died on Thursday, however, leads his friend? to believe that the facts did not justify his faith. Portland and Omaha capitalists are making arrangements to build a standard-gauge railroad from Uma tilla, at the junction of tho Oregon Short Line and tho Oregon Railway and Navigation systems, northward through Yakima valley to Prosser. When it comes to killing rats, Messrs. McCormick & Warren of the As tor House have claims to the championship. Last Saturday they made a raid on an outhou?e near that hostelry and killed twenty ro dents out of a possible 24. Their rule is to kill rats wherever thov find 'em. A large number of Chehalis county people are taking up timber claims in Tillamook county. There appear to be a good many mill hands among the number. Of course they are get ting this laud for themselves, and have no intention of transferring their certificates or receipts to any one else. Tho people living at Sidney and Dye's Inlet, near Port Orchard. W. '1'., have bonded 3,500 acres of land to the TJ- S., tho contract between them and the naval commissioners on behalf of the government having been signed; the presumption being that that site will bo recommended for the proposed navy yard of the future. Last Friday at Hoquiam, on Gray's harbor, the Taooma, Olympia & Gray's Harbor Railroad company bought 21,000 acres ot land, the in tention of the company being to establish the terminus there. The land was bought of Geo. H. Emerson, and work upon the necessary im provements and terminal facilities will begin at once. Seid Back, the Portland Chinese contractor, is in trouble. Several of his" countrymen contracted with him -to go to Alaska to engage in the can .nine of salmon, and after getting an advance on their salaries they skipped to the bills, preferring to grsb stamps rather than remove the sanguinary intestines from the finny denizens of the Alaska coast Worcester's dictionary is authority for the following spellings, among ethers: Ake, for ache; agast, for aghast; anoy, for annoy; coud, for could; delit, for delight; iland, for island; rime, for rhyme; program, for programme. Those who aro bound to "go according to the dictionary" will do well to take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. All hands agree that "there is no accounting for tastes." People some times aro found who appear to relish all sorts of disagreeable or unusual things, eatintr chalk, slate nennila. uuui, eic, uui one ot ine most smgu , : . . ., . r . lar pnasea recently noted is that of an instance where ashes is spread on bread and eaten with as much relish as folks usually exhibit over orthodox bread and butter. A new postal card is soon to be put into circulation. It is very much una a aouDie card. Xhe back fold is split diagonally and opened like a four-pointed star. The four corners are folded and joined in the center with a piece ot gummed paper. It will contain no more writing space than the present card. It weighs less than half an ounce. The only advantage"will be a greater privacy. A Young's river chicken raiser says lianas devised a way of preventing chickens from scratching up his garden. He crosses the long-legged Brahamas with the short-legged uaruams, anu me result is a new breed of fowls with one long leg and one short leg. When they raise either leg to scratch they lose their Daiance and come to grief. After a few demoralizing attempts they desist. A contemporary thinks that the phonograph will supercede the news paper. Not much! Words live when lips are silent, and nothing will ever supercede the immortality accorded by type and the press. These words here hastily written and hurriedly put in type and quickly uriuted will live and breathe when all now living shall have melted like streaks of morning cloud into the illimitable azure of eternity. Last Sunday was a red-letter day for the Astoria St Railwav conmanv. Their new "summer cars" were on the track for the first time, and were well patronized by Astorians who al ways believe in helping substantially anything that has any get-up-and-got to it. J.he cars are both useful and ornamental aud present a very hand some appearance. The road is going right nhead, and will push ou to Alderbrook and Tongue poiut and westward to Smith's point as soon as practicable. By a decision ot the supreme court of California rendered laBt Saturday, tho principle of law is laid down that husbands and wives, in the privacy ot their apartments, may say of each other, or of anybody else, anything they may choose. The judges of the court aver that the relationship ot husband and wife is ot such a charac ter that in the seclusion of their own home, whatever each may say to the other, shall be regarded as having been said each to himself or herself. The husband and wife aro one. No person, oven with his ear to the key hole, and so hearing pomething said disparaging of himself, can have any cause of action, and don't you forget it. Liverpool correspondence London Grocer, says: The demand for sal mon has slackened considerably, and later arrivals are beinz stored. The Wasdale has commenced to dis charge, and the condition is satisfac tory. When the cold weather has passed we may expect a much better inquiry, as grocers have only re plenished exhausted stocks, and have not generally bought tor tue spring requirements. The red Alaska fish appear to be preferred just now; but no doubt the superior flavor of the Columbia river salmon will again soon assert itself, as it is well worth the higher prices.

Home time ago a damsel was brought before Justice May charged with larceny of 860 from friends she was visiting in this city. The evi dence was straight; uo defense was offered, and she was held to await the action ot the grand jury. That body indicted her, but she was allowed to go free. There was soma comment at the time, but nothing published. Last Sunday a Portland detective came down and arrested her where she was stopping at the Pioneer res taurant, and took her up to Portland Sunday night This time she is charged with stealing some jewelry, a watch and chain, a locket, and a ring. All tho property was recovered exoept the ring. The Astorian is in receipt of a letter from her mother, whioh is, for the present, withheld. Justice should always be tempered with mercy, but should not be wholly lost sight of. A Sinlar Occnrrence. Ou Monday the 11th inst, two men named Clausiu and Cuskie were drowned from their boat in John Day's river. Cuskie's body was re covered next day. Yesterday J. O. Adams was rowing by the spot, when the body of the defdnot Clausiu at that moment suddenly emerged from the watery depths where it had lain. It was a startling episode, but Adams cooly tied a rope around the body, towed it ashore and promptly noti fied the coroner.

Deeds and wife, Mr. Cronin and wife and two other men are go ing down the Nehalem iu a canoe to its mouth, an exciting and adven turous trip. O. W. Dunbar, late foreman in the Pioneer office is now associated with G. W. Snyder in the publication of the Transcript. Both are practical printers of ability and are experienced newspaper men. A. V.R.Snyder has resigned his position as chief engineer of the Astoria fare department, and goes to The Dalles, where he will be asso ciate editor of the Times-Mountain- eer. Mr. Snyder has conducted the Transcrivt in this citv over two years with ability and success. Fred'k Warde in "Virginias." The mantle of McCullough seems to have fallen on Fred'k Warde, who at Ross' opera house last night gave a rendition of "Virgmius" that was thrillingly realistic. In criticising a theatrical perform ance, three things must be kept iu view: the aotor, the publio, and just remark. All actors and actresses prefer hon est expression of opinion, unbiased and intelligent, and while a perform ance may affect different persons in as many different ways, whatever genius or histrionic talent the actor or actress may evince is entitled to duo recognition. In the case of Fred'k Warde and his company, there is deserved just and generous praise. The play itself is a sombre one and appeals to some of the deeper sensi bilities of our nature. It is one in which a little rant spoils all: where a tendency to overdo is fatal to har mony, and the nice understanding of just how much manner was necessary was one ot the most nleasinz elements of last night's performance. we would rank the interpretation of the oharaoter of "Virginia" by Miss Belgrade, as second only to that of the leading and principal figure in the drama, it being admirably con ceived and expressed. Mr. Weaver is 13 a stranger to Astoria audiences, but his manly figure and fine voice gave the character of "Appius Claudius" a vivid personality. The rapid and indistinct utterances of Mr. Hoyt as "Dentatus," and Mr. Hen derson as "Icilius" detracted from their otherwise passable rendition of the characters assigned to them. lo-nisht the company appears in "Belphegor, the Mountebank," a tragedy ot histrionic merit, and one given for the first time in Astoria, af fording an unusual opportunity to lovers of good acting. A Teamster's Experience. Samuel Hinkley, recently from Maine, had a tough bit of experience in Portland last Thursday. He says : "I am juBt out from Maine, coming in company with John Brandsten, whom I have known for a year, I got to Portland Thursday morning at 3 o'clock and put up with my friend at the International I had some baggage and 870, the latter was in my pants' pocket. We, my friend and I. went out early in the morning to see tho town, and struck a saloon on First street near the north end, about E or F street, I think someone said, where there was a woman, the proprietor ot the Baloon said Brand sten had insulted the woman. There was going to be a row I thought, so to settle matters I asked all of them to take a drink. I took a glass of beer, and at once began to feel queer. I thought at once that I had been drugged, and ran out of the place and started for the hotel. I got as far is the stable when I felt my feet leave me, and that is all I know, ex cept I remember hearing some one say get some blankets.' "When I came to my senses I found that all my money except 83.75 was gone, and also my baggage and traveling partner, Brand3ten, was missing. I brought him out and paid all the bills. We had just got tickets for Chehalis, where I was going to work in a logging camp. I am a toamster and have followed that business in the east. I do not like to think that Brandsten robbed me, but I can't see how else I lost the Imoney, as I had taken very little drink." New Life Savins Station. Government affairs move very slow ly. When in San Francisco last No. vember, in answer to an inquiry about muuow ana Baring station at i'ort Stevens, Major Blakeney told the writer he was in daily expectation of plans and instructions regarding the same from Washington; the whole thing had then been officially decided upon. Last Saturday the order was finally given, and we may soon expect that this important work will be un der way. The buildings will be this side of Ft Stevens, adjoining the Kindred tract, will be first class, and will cost 87,000. PBOGBESS.

How Men Die. If we know all the methods of ap proach adopted by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward off the danger and pospone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength of the body suffices to enable it to op pose the tendency toward death. Many however have lost these forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all tho difference between sudden death and many years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs, give that old and wollknown remedy Boschee's German Syrup, a earful trial. It will prove what thousands say of it to be, the "bene uctor of any home." Objects To Beins Chased By BnlldORs If we hate one thing more than another it is to be chased around town when returning from our place of business after dark, by half a dozen of half starved bull-dogs. It seems every farmer in the county sent his dog to town during the week. For God's sake, build a bridge over the Little Nestncca so the people can come in themselves. Tillamook Headlight, 22.
