On June 25th Martha Ann Bogart, aged 70 years, died at her home, lOlii Mag nolia avenue, this city. About a week iigo her husband was surprised on looking over her personal effects to come across a dialapidatcd handbag in which, on being opened, was found :.lnlied a large number of small tobacco pouches. On opening them they were found to be filled with rolls of bankbills of various denominations, and with silver coin. Bogart, who was the woman's second husband, was cute enough to only let a couple of persons iuto the secret, as Mrs. Bogart had heirs-at-law, and having died without making a will he was afraid they might claim the treasure. Ue quickly disposed of all the house hold effects and started a few days ago for Oregon, where he has a brother living. Since his departure the story Inn leaked ont, and the heirs ato in- Idijjuant to think that the treasure has .slipped from their clutches. Those to whom Bogart confided his discovery, and who had seen the money counted by him, say there was over $7000 in the old. satchel. Mrs. Bogart during her lifetime, was noted for her miserly propensities. It is said of her that she even used to split lucifer matches in quarters to make I hem last longer. iff.

The Ylrlua of Kxtcss!ve Industry. Some men work because they love work and hate play. They do not shiue in society; they have no conver sation; the fair sex are not passing fair to their disloited vision; the whitewashed ceiling of their office audJ its shabby fittings are more attractive to them than landscapes or Italian skies, and they are under the agree able thrall of no diverting hobbiep. In heaven's name, let such men work all through the day, if they like it They accumulate immense for tunes, and even though they may bo iniserlv in their lifetime, when they die B?me one benefits by their mil lions. A man of this kind on an enforced holiday is a very compassionate ob ject 1 romembor one snoh, who, while driving through some of tho most en trancing hcouery of our land on a fair summer day, hid his face behind a journal of the money market all the time.

Very quietly and without any flour ish of trumpets has been the' work of the Bay railway, and though it is a short line at present it may not always remain so, but it has the honor of being the first railroad to enter this city. In the same quiet and steady man ner which characterized its construc tion to the Washington cannery, work on its extension into the heart of the city i3 now progressing. All along the city front from the present terminus of the road at TJniontown it is being built A large number of piles have been driven and much of the trestle work is completed, ready for the rafis. Five buildings are to be moved in rear of First street, or between it and the channel, three of which are dwell ing houses, one a warehouse, and one a shed. The latter is at the wood yard, and near tliis is one of tho houses which has already been moved. Near the gas works are two houses which will be moved. The warehouse is owned by M. J. Kinney. All these buildings are moved by the railway company at their own ex pense. East of the gas works the street will be filled and the grade established on that, b'lt most of tho extension is trestle work. The line will probably coino up Lafayette street, but it would be better if it could pa's one block farther along the water front and come up Benton street. While it is a detriment to property and the numerous wharves to have a railroad cross them, it seems an abso lute necessity, as there is no other way to enter the city from that direction, aud it is plainly apparent that if the Astoria and South Coast or any other railroad comes in Ihh city, connecting with tho Willamette valley, it must como over the track of the Bay rail way. That is tho standard gnage, and if not heavy enough for heavy engines and trains of a through line," it could easily bo made s o at small expense. Tho extension of the Bay railroad up Young's bay, across Young's river, along the opjiosite shore, thence up the Lewis and Clarke or across it, and theucp to the seashore i-i a compara tively easy matter, and starl ing from tho centor of the city, passengers could be carried very quickly to the coast, thus avoiding the delay and, slow travel by steamers to connect with trains on the other side. The Bay railway holds the key to the Willamette valley from this city, but fortunately is in the hands of men who are liberal in their ideas, aud heartily in favor of advancing the in terests and welfare of Astoria.

An English naturalist, while visiting Great Sangir, one of those islands in the Indian ocean known a3 the Ce lebes, or Spice islands, lodged at the house ot a rajah. In front of the house was a veranda, in the corner of which stood a sentry, whoso business it was to keep the time for the village by "the aid of a primitive sand glass. Two bottles were firmly laced together, month to mouth, and fixed in a wooden frame, made to stand up right in a reversible position. A quan tity ot black sand ran from one bottle into another in just half an hour, .and when the upper bottle was empty the frame was reversed. Twelve short sticks, marked with notches from one to twelve, were hung upon a string. A hook was placed between the stick bearing the number of notches corres ponding to the hour last struck and the oue to be strnck next The sentry announced the time by striking tho honrs on a large gong.
