An uppertown resident, tho first letters of whose last same is Miller, was left last evening, for the first time in hia life. He was going to go to Portland on tbe Telephone, but was so busily engaged in talking to a young lady that he took no note of time, and the Telephone glided away and left him standing os tbe dock. Joe Finschower brought up a veritable curiosity yesterday, for Megler and Wright, ot the Occident hotel. It is an American flag, made to order in Sao Francisco, and is believed to be the first one of the kind manufactured at least the first one made on this nit. Uhas42tarsonit, and though a little previous is very pretty. The Sunday Weleom says that Port' lsa4 has more OddFellows is properties to its population than any other town in tho world. Ono out of every four of the citizens over twenty-one belongs to the order, and the seven lodges of the city have a f und of $H9.G15.75.

As an instance of what can be done in the Big Bend says the Empire, there are to-day three sisters, Margaret, Katie and Clara, daughters of D. D.

There is a little luxury indigenous to the Columbia river, called "salmon cheeks;" little rich morsels cut from the Chinook salmon, that when served up in the same manner as fried oysters axe pronounced by epicures, unapproach- flhla In tantA nnri rmatofn .f..t.

This m ay be rough, but it is so. 1 n Did you ever sit down in some quiet spot and read the ordinances of the city of Astoria, nicely bound and full of deep thought and moral observance? Ordin ance No. 1,003, for instance, is a real nice ordinance. Bead it and then stroll nrnnnri and see how universally it is not ob nurteu. it is omy one 01 many, aut when the dear departed has had the last funeral rites naid to it. it loots orimlr humorous to say that it was Divine Prov- laence, in its wisdom that did the work. Nothing of the kind. It is often failure to comply with city ordinances. The Sacramento Report, in an article on its handsome and patriotic- girls, un dertook to say that ''Our women still love to dress a la Mother Eve, in noth ing but the natural products of the na tive bush." The printer, of oourse, made it read "in nothing but the native blush." There is some difference. In correcting tho typographical blunder to appease popular indignation, the editor simply said, "For the article in our last issue headed 'Tho Season's Beauties,' read 'The Samoan Beauties.' We have discharged our printer." i "An eye fox an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," has been always looked upon as a somewhat merciless dispensation, but until now the esoterio signification has been unknown. The eye and the tooth are found to. bo intimately connected, inasmuoh that an -aru93thetio - applied to the former will affect the latter also. Doctors Herroque and Fridel, of Paris, assert that by spraying the eye with ether a tooth can be drawn without hurt ing the patient! If this be not on optioal illusion, it is a grand development in "painless dentistry;" but as a good rule ought to work both ways, they had bet ter try whether cleaning the teeth will cure a blaok eye. ONLY A RUMOB. -Bat a Singular Oae Though. A singular story comes to The Asto bus regarding the eollectorship. It is not authenticated," but is positively vouched for by more than one that claims to know. Stripped of all unnecessary verbiage, it amounts to. this: The late G. Leinenweber, on his re turn, from Europe, called on senator Mitchell, in "Washington, and dined with him. During the dinner the conversa tion turned on Astoria federal positions, and the story goes that senator Mitchell then told him who was to get the eol lectorship of this port, and gave him the name of a prominent physician of this city as the man for whom the place was destined. It does not look at all prebable: in the course of time we will all doubtless know who is to be recommended to be appointed by president Harrison and con firmed by the U. S. senate. This is given as an illustration of the rumors afloat, one of which is about as autnentic as the other. Easter Errs: Easter Egjrs. H. M.

When in Portland last Friday the writer heard of a reported "proposition" from Nelson Bennett, and associates to the directors of tho Astoria & South Coast road and the alleged particulars. Inquiry has developed the following as the state of things. Messrs. Taylor and Thielsen having received a telegram that Bennett and associates were in Portland ready to ne gotiate, wens to roruanu to meet tnem. Two of the party had been unexpectedly called away, but the member of the isyuuicubu wuu mew but) aabuna represen tatives said that if made, or when made. the proposition would be for Bennett, .Thompson and the liarraoee brothers to build the road from Skipanon. to the Seaside house, pav back to the Astoria &. South Coast railroad company the money already expended, equip the road and cave locomotive ana cars on it in wj days from the signing of the agreement: turn the Seaside property into the rail road scheme, lay that property out in lots and place them on the market, and take the valuation of whet they put in, in stock of the railroad, Astorian3 to build the bridge across Young's bay and have the terminus of the road 'here, a boat to connect at Skipanon for this season or until the bridge was built. This was not made as a proposition, but was merely outlined as an intended proposition to be probably made upon the arrival of Bennett, who was then ab sent from the city. Upon learning this, in the interval, at the meeting of the board of directors of the railroad, the advisability of increas ing the capital stock was discussed, and a communication addressed to the Port land men. It transpires that answer to that was in effect, that the unexpected com plications with regard to the Holladay Eroperty had arisen, and that so far as ennettand associates were concerned, the whole matter was indefinitely post poned. So that the proposition may be considered off, for the present, at least. The proprietors of The Asto-UX, in common with other stockholders, are in receipt of an official notice from the secretary that a meeting would be held on tho 16th of May to increase tbe cap ital s took of the company, PERSONAL MENTION. Chas. Bohr has returned to the city. H. B. Thielson returns from Skipanon to-day. Miss Carrie Miller-returned from a trip to Portland, yesterday.

Mr. El more was here a few years ego, and is greatly pleased with the appearance of the city and his prospects. J. E.

Parties who arrived there the past week, and who are in 8 position to know, say that property there is at a standstill. A great many changes are taking place, but there is not a cent" of consideration passing they are all on paper. Land for miles out of the city is platted and boomed and banged. All no ge: life can not be infused into the carcass. The po sition is just this. If the thing is not pushed so the present holders can get out, somebody is going to get hurt. Again, were prices'to fall ten per cent., many a man who to-day is the reputed owner of lots of property, would be a hopeless bankrupt. Daily Olympian, IS. Who Is Your Best Friend?

The City of Canton was in the stream opposite tho O. R. t N. dook yesterday morning, the tug was ready to take her to sea, and the tow lino was being made taut, when one of the sailors jumped up on the rail and plunged over the vessel's side into the water. He was a good swimmer and went for a couple of hundred feet, when he began to fail. The A. B. Field passed up by him, and af tor passing, backed, and flung him a line, which he was unable to catch. Tho O. B. fc N. Co.'s boat was lowered, and, manned by Messrs. Blinn and Gilmore, went to his rescue. Ho sank four times, and it looked as though ho was surely gone. As he sank for the fourth time, Gilmore, who was standing in the bow of the boat made an extra ordinary effort and bending below the surface of the water, pulled the half drowned man out as he was settling for the last time into the watery depths. He was almost dead, and on being re suscitated was taken to the county jail. The vessel proceeded to sea.- Tbe fellow nas nobody but himself to blame. He went with Capt. Carnochan, before vice-consul Cherry last Wednes day and signed the articles as C. Wilson, aged 25 years, a native of Australia. He was rigidly cross-examined by the cap tain who had his doubts of him, but he told a straight story, said he had made three voyages, could furl a royal, and take bis trick at the wheel with any man. Upon this the captain reluctantly took him. "When he got on board it came out that he was a morphine fiend from Para dise Lost; that he'd never been aboard as a sailor, and, showing the mate a scab on his arm from the hypodermic syringe, said he couldn't and wouldn't go to sea, but would die first. The supposition is that be. may have got $5 to personate some one else, and got roped ia himself, and served him right. , . The ICTrIlcoTcry.
