ASTOBIA. OEEGON:

.DECEMBER, 20. 1SS9.
Citvnml County Official Paicr.
John Jacob Astob is called the
richest mania New York to-day, his
forinue, -which is mainly in real estate,
being estimated at $100,000,000. He
is about seventy years of age and a
widower.
Rev. jIb. Sfcrgeon, the London
preacher, receives an average of 500
letters a day. and he employs three
secretaries to answer the communica
tions which come to him from all parts
of the world.
Sesor Go.vzalo Esteya, a Mexican
journalist, has written a hook hearing
the title of "Editorial Prison Life."
He has been iu prison various time3
for speaking too freely of the govern
ment, and knows the subject thorough
ly. Another infant pianist ha3 been
discovered. This one is but a year old.
His name is Raoul Koczalski, and he
has captured St. Petersburg, -where
the newspapers speak in extravagant
terms of his execution of works of
Chopin.
The Boston Qlobe has offered two
prizes to the largest family in New
England. A gold watch is to go the
u )ther and a silver mug to the young
er child. A family of seventeen has
been discovered in Holyoke, Mass., and
at present stand a fair chance for the
prizes.
The heirs of Colonel Nicholas Lotz,
who died in the last century, have
held a meeting at Beading, Pa., and
have taken steps to sue the govern
ment for 17,000,000. Lotz, it seems,
furnished the American army with hay
during the revolution, for which he
was never paid.
.Tmes A. Stewabt, the newly
elected mayor of Griffin, Ga., is ono
of the youngest mayors on record, his
twenty-second birthday having been
jiistTHJlehrnted. He is the son of
congressman J. D. Stewart who was
greatly surprised when he heard of
his bov's election.
Congressman W. L. Scott, o Erie,
Pa., i worth probably $15,000,000, but
he is one of the least ostentatious men
in congress His face is sallow and
he is rather thin and round-shouldered,
withspar?e sandy hair. He repre
sents, either as president or director,
22,000 miles of raroad.
Phouablt not one in a hundred
realizes the fact that, next to England,
little Holland, whose king is at present
at death's door, is the greatest col
onial power in the world. The Dutch
colonies have an area of nearly 800,
003 square miles, which includes some
of the finest colonial possessions in
the world.
liEV. Cjbert CoiiTjTeu has pres
ented Cornell college with an old
factory bell which had an interesting
history. It wa3 the bell that rang
him to work every morning in his
young days when he worked at the
blacksmith's forge and fixed the time
the day's toil was over. The bell will
be used at Cornell for summoning
the students to their classes.
An interviewed Michigan farmer
exclaimed the other day: "Bring
along a cyclone powerful enough to
raise a mortgage, and you may bet
your sweet life that half tho farmers
in this country would be mighty glad
to shake hands withthe critter." It
is an open question whether a mort
gage is not, after all, a tougher cus
tomer than a cyclone.
Give us on the part of our lawmak
er a wiser policy in measures cal
culated to foster new industries, ex
tend our commerce, and increase all
facilities for the education and train
ing of the masses so that they may be
come intelligent, law-abiding, indus
trious and useful citizens, and the
United States will achieve results sur
passing anything recorded in the his
tory of. the world.
The total extinction of wild ani
mals that are too large.to effectually
secrete themselves from, rapacious
hunters is Imerely a question of time.
The day is coming, unless the law in
tervenes, when no animals hut those
that crawl and burrow will be left for
the sportsman. In that coming time
turtle stalking may of necessity be
raised to the rank of sport.
The salary of each member of the
cabinet is $S,000: that of each justice
of the TJ. S. supreme court, $10,000, ex
cept that of the chief justice, which is
$10,500. Each member of congress,
senator and -representative, receives
$5,030 and mileage, also $12-1
per annum, for stationery and news
papers. The speaker s salary is the
same as that of the president of the
senate, $3,000. 2d. The mileage of
members of congress is twenty-five
cents per mile of travel, each annual
session, to and from Washington.
Ihe shrewdest criminals met with
iu New York police courts are the
Chinese. From the moment of arrest
to the moment of trial they are abso
lutely non-committal. They disclaim
everything and admit nothing. This
silence prevents the police from form
ing any clues or from utilizing such
confessions or explanations as most
criminals, or persons accused of crime
are accustomed to make. Next to the
Chinese, the most reserved and taci
turn of the residents of New York are
the Bohemians.
The daily news tells us that a short
timp ago the mission school in Zahleh
was attacked by some boys who threw
wones at the doors and windows.
apJaintwiwinade, snathe Mudie
adopted the punishment of pulling
ha mothers of the troublesome bovs
in prison for several days. This ce'r
tainly -will have toe salutary effect of
making the influence of mothers bear
more practically upon the mainten
ance of law and order. How ivould
it wor to punish teachers when their
pupils commit crimes?
A CASS IN POINT.
la oar forefathers' davs, pimples were at
tabard to diseased blood. But modem
modicmc has demonstrated that rich food
does not create eruptions by fouling tho
blood, but retards dljesUoa, which makes
the stomach torpid, and the circulation
sluggish, and in turn causes an enfeebled
action of the pores which congest or become
Pimply. The modern theory therefore is not
to treat the blood, but the stomach and liver
and it is under this new idea, that Joy's Vege
table Sarsaparilla was conceived. It is wip
ing the old "blood disease" idea out of ex
istence. A case in peint: "I Lac had for
rears spells of indigestion and dvspepsia and
tried nearly everything Finally I took one
of Iho leading sarsoparillas. It caused pim
ples to break out on my Tace, which I
was told was caused by the potash . Ilearlug
that Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla did not con
tain mineral, I sent for It Tho pimples dis
appeared and I havo had no return of the
ld spells. II is a cure for indigestion and
iyapepsia and the attendant face eruptions."
