m t gafoj gtotiiro. ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY JUNE 6. 1880. It is regarded as a certainty at "Washington, that Attorney-General Miller Trill be appointed to succeed justice Matthews. Ilia now generally believed that Cleveland will be the Democratic can didate for president in 1892. But three years is a long way oE The Charleston Neves and Courier suggests that the original thirteen states contribute stones to New York's centennial memorial arch. Tiie Masons of New York state will shortly erect a home for the aged members similar to tho3e owned by the order in other countries. The Bourne Mills company of Fall River has offered to share a portion of its profits with its employes during the six months ending January 1, 1890. A rnxE of property, 80x110, on the corner of Broadway and Fourth streets, New York, has just been sold for SG50.000. This is only about S74 a square foot. The Philadelphia Inquirer, after a careful canvass, estimates that the majority against prohibition in Penn sylvania will be about 33,000 outside of Philadelphia. Some of the supersensative young ladies in the land office at "Washington threaten to resign because a colored man from Indiana has been appointed chief of the division. Ten Apache Indians, of Geronimo's band have been taken from prison in Kansas and conveyed to San Carlos agency, N. M., where they will have a new trial for murder. The editor, of the S. F. Aita is genius in his way. He will falsify century of history to make a partisan point, vide the Blaine-McSweeney skit in the Alta of the 2nd. Immigrants are not only pouring "Into this country, but they are com' ing in such numbers that some of the boats bringing them are crowded far beyond the danger point. Wiaais, the weatherwise, predicts that there will be a big earthquake in the middle states, August 17, 1901. Readers are earnestly requested to keep their eye on the date. . - - i ' It is reported at Ottawa, Ont, that there is every probability of negotia tions being entered into shortly for a settlement of tho fisheries question andBehringsea difficulty. Oub English cousins, having gotten possession of many American brewer ies, are, according to late London dis patcher, turning their attention to the flouring mills of the northwest. A soldier belonging to a detach ment of the Austrian army in Trans) 1 vauia was recently killed by a bullet from a Manlicher rifle discharged dur ing target practice at a distance of more than two and a half miles. SECRBfpY Tbact is not going to &onil our fcmr modern war ships round the world 1c impress the foreigner. A modern American war ship is too much of a curiosity at home to permit its exhibition abroad at present. Tnn Chicago Times (once a sonsa tional paper) asserts that the day of mere sensationalism iu American journalism is passing away, and that accuracy and reliability are now high considerations in the presentation of news. A job which few will desire particu larly as there is no money in it, is that assigned to representatives of the New York city government to divide the election districts of the city so that nnnft shall contain more than 250 voters. Ekoxand gets most of its ice now from Norway, Scandinavian compe tition having almost entirely de stroyed the business of shipping ice from Boston to England, which was once Very profitable. Ice is sold in London for from 58 to 81 cents per hundred weight Pboqbess is again to be reported in the matter of powerful war ships. The Italian ironclad .Butero di Lauren, which has just been tried for speed, reaching 17.6 knots, carries four of the largest guns yet brought into prac tice, 110 tons. He sister ship, Andrea Doric, will bood lie ready. At some of the theatres in New vn tctiATi there is a certainty of a crowd at a matinee performance, they refuse to sell any seats to a man un accompanied by a lady. The theory is that matinees are for ladies espec ially, and that a man who wants to go alone deserves to stand, ne can go in the evening alone and the women can't The Dubuque Times says of ex- govemor Carpenter's appointment as postmaster at Fort Dedge: "If a man serves his city well as postmaster he is entitled to as much respect as though he were governor. A man lowers himself and loses the rightful claim to honor and respect when ho purposely fails to do his duty in any position as an honest man." The following shows how time on tno ocean has been cenquered: David Dadloy Field first crossed the Atlan tic in 183G in a sailing vessel, taking twenty-five days. He crossed again inl8o0moneof the best steamers of the time, taking twelve days. Lately he came across in the City of Parts in less than six days. ExdLisn ship-builders are overdo ing the business nnd freights are fall ing. There has been such a harvest for vessels the last two or three years that building has been stimulated be yond the bounds of prudence. Last year the enormous figure of 900,000 tons of new ships was reached, nnd this year promises to be 1,200,000. A fbominent citizen of Parsons, Kan., determined to sup with a party of friends against tho will of his wife. He was resolved that he would, and she that he should not go. He did not go. His friends missed him and just for fun invaded his residence, where they found him and his wife sitting in their chairs fast asleep. He had given her an opiate that he might slip away, and she had given him one that he might not. A CoKTEMPOBABXmakes the follow ing statement of wages and their pur chasing power in 1794: Of wages it is enough to say that masons a century ago earned 67 cents per day in Massa chusetts, carpenters 52 cents, black smiths 70 cents and ordinary labor 30 cents. Food near the farms was cheap, but pork is quoted in Massachusetts at 16 cents per pound, flour at $8.16 per barrel, corn at 76 cents per bushel and ham at 20 cents per pound. Cal ico cost 58 cents per yard, broadcloth $2.70, buckram 22 cents, cotton cloth 88 cents and tow cloth 30 cents; hose cost $1.35 per pair, and "corded Nan keen breeches" $5.50; buttons from 1 to 5 shillings per dozen, shoes of last ing 85 cents per pair, and sugar from 15 to 22 cents per pound. Pacific Coast Railroads. Eli Perkins, the great American prevaricator, is in Portland, and was interviewed concerning his views on the Paciflo coast railroads. "Wall street," said Mr. Perkins, "keeps clearly posted about west ern railroads. Wall street fur nishes the money and knows where it is being used. New York has just furnished money for the Seattle, liake Shore & Eastern, which is to run from Seattle up through the Skagit and Nooksack valleys on Puget sound to the Canadian Pa cific. This makes a line from Seattle to St. Paul seventy miles shorter than the Northern Pacific. The Northern Pacific will dihcnunt this by building west from Mis soula straight through the Piiionse country to Pasce Junction It is conceded now in New York that Villard has tho Oregon ami fraut continental and Northern 1'uciGa in his pocket, and that the O. R. & N. will be in the same system within a year. The Union Pacific will then build through from Parma, near Boise City, to the Or egon Pacific and come into Port land over the Southern Pacific. The Chicago & Northwestern is building from Fort Fettermnn, west of the Black Hills, to Chico, in California, and will go to San Francisco down the Sacramento valley. J tell you," said Eli, "this Pacific coast is to be terribly Bhaken up within the next five years." Mr. Perkins is consid ered somewhat of a liar himself and may be a trifle mixed in this case. Albany Herald. A Fortunate Druggist. Mr.TSdwln W. Joy a prosperous drugcirt on the corner ot StocVtou and Market streets, in San Francisco, probably never dreamed ot rivaling in wealth tho medi cine lings ot tho country. But various rumors having been floating around to the effect that he has struck it big, an Examiner reporter was detailed to unearth the cause. It scorns that about seven years ago an English physician, a great student of Bot any, located in this city. His practice was not extensive, and yet tho few cases that came to him attracted no little atten tion! HisgrcatsnccessECcmcdtobointhc treatment of liver and kidney disorders and vitiated blood. He seemed almost infallible, and his well kept secret was as much a mystery as himself. .After his de parture Mr. Joy determined to fathom the secret, and copying all the prescriptions he bad filled for tho erratic doctor, ho began a systematic analysis. He discol ored running all through tho prescript ions for liver and kidney troubles, vitiated blood and stomach disorders a couple of vegetable extracts Indigenous to Calif omla so staple and so well known under home ly every day names to every school boy as to entirely dissipate, tho suspicion that they were the active principles involved So certain, however, was Mr. Joy that ho had discovered the secret that ho embod ied the new elements in a preparation of Sarsaparllla to disguise the taste, and put It before his customers under tho modest namo of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparllla. Im mediately thesamo stories came back of its astontshlngeffects; and the mystery was solved? and the talk it has created lia3 already caused it to step into prominence, and orders pour in daily from all over the coast And thus another California indus try leaps, into existence. & F. Examiner. TELE&RAPfflC Specials to The Astorian. Portland, June 5. Up to 3 o'olock this afternoon $435.10 had been left at tho Oregonian business office for tho Johnstown sufferers. . Mr. Jas. Steel, president of the Merchants National bank, appointed executor of the Ben Holladay estate, has not yet qualified. He thinks tho bona, suuo.000, too large. The work of repairing and cleaning the steamer Multnomah at the Ore gon City dry dock is about done and in a rew days the O. It. & N. Co. will turn her over to her owners whd will run her henceforth. B.B. Bersie, of Tacoma, nrrhed in the city this morning in search of Ids runaway wife who has been livincr with one Harry Williams. Both guilty par ties liave been arrested, charged with ndulterv.
