There ,aro now more persons who sponge from newspapers than any other class.

If his acts aro justly criticised ho talks of a suit for damages. He desires favorable mention and he desires it often.

It was understood yesterday that the Telephone had not enough pas sengers to induce her to make a trip to tho bridge, connecting with tho A. & S. C. railroad for Seaside, so the Electric took what freight and passen gers were waiting from this city to tho train and when returning met the Telephone going down to the bridge, her officers having finally decided to take their passengers down. They were informed that tho train was gone so she steamed back to her wharf. Her passengers will no doubt spend their time pleasantly and profitably viewing the city, which is somewhat different in many respects from most other cities. The Mist, published at St Helens, says that a fire has been raging in the immediate vicinity' of Clatskanie tho past week.

Editob Asterian: Life here in these delightful days is a daily pleas ure. There aro a good many people here and all are enjoying themselves after their own fashion. A few havo cottages, a largo number board at the hotels and the majority are "camping out Tho latter part of those here are the most independent; they cat just when they please and what they please; but it seems to your corre spondent that there is too much work about it to be funny or restful. One doesn't have to como to the seaside in the month of August to find hard work, and anyone who "camps out" or lives in a tent can only work, work-, work, all day, with little time for en joyment This is a glorious beach, far ahead of any on the north side of tho mouth of the Columbia and said by Cali fornia visitors to be vastly superior to tho Santa Cruz beach. It is so long and wide, and slopes so gently, and is so fine and white, and attractive that it is no wonder tho people crowd hero to share in the pleasure it affords. During the last three days I havo paced or ridden on the beach through some hour of tho 24, and at every stage of the tide. In the early dawn j the morning mist moves over tho heaving surface of tho.sea, later come . tho clam diggers with trousers and skirts roUeiiip revealing limbs more or less symmetrical, hastily shoveling the succulent clam from his native lair. That useful animal is caught in great quantity here, but tho numbers do not seem to diminish. Then come the croquet players, and tho tennis players, each with an "un bounded and unrivalled field, and a magnificent foregroundfor their game. Later came troop3 of laughing, hap py children, wading in tho incoming tide, and by noon tho sun emerging from tho clouds and warming tho air, tho tido still making, come bevies of bathers, who go out in perfect safety and have a merry hour in miniio bat tle with tho breakers that roll in and in and run in creamy foam far up the sand to break in lines ofbeaufyat one's feet In tho afternoon go galloping by groups of riders, laughing at their perverse ponies who havo more to say or do about -where thoy arc going than their riders have. Through the day tho sounding 'sea sings a symphony, tho forests answer ing back tho sublimo Btrain as though .Nature were running its hand up aiid down tho great keyboard of creation and giving restful music to sootbo its tired childr.e"n. In the evening there is a transforma tion scene. Big bonfires are lit in con venient places on the beach, and around them sit crowds of people singing songs and glees, tho trample of the surf upon tho satfd furnishing tho accompaniment The only disagreeable feature in this beautiful place is an old gentle man named Grimes, tho owner of "Grimes' hotel," who imagines himself o little tin god on wheels. Because he owns sundry acres on which the Grimes hotel is located, ho thinks tho Almighty has given him, tho title in fee simple to the tides, tho surf, tho beach, thoNecauicum, and tho air ad jacent thereto. Such churlishness as ho displays sets people's teeth on edge and hurts the place. Ho is standing in his own light, and is apparently ono of those fossils who are only awaiting burial, aud tako their solo pleasure in annoy ing others. Ho has. an old bridiro across tho Necanicum, and sits and mumbles his gums all day on his front porch in speechless rage at the rash mortal who dares to cross that bridge. To vent his silly spite ho vexes everybody and makes a nuisance of himself the livelong day. Fancy tho littleness of tho man in putting a gato across that bridge, and standing there liko a beggar asking alms, demanding toll from ladies and children who wish to cross tho tyrant's domain to simply walk down to tho beach to breatho God's air and bask in His sunshine. Ono would rather give tho old miser four bits through charity than stand listening to his tale of woe, but tho meanness of tho man is appalling. He is tho ono blot on this fair landscape. His son tries to please, and does all possible to mitigato tho matter, but his father's face drives business away and his frown prevents people from enjoying themselves. Len Ohler has a neat barber hop and news-stand at the entrance to tho grove, where The Daily Astobiax is in great demand every morning. Warren & "Wright have a fine real es tate office next to Ohler's. Wingate & Stone have a real estate office (just opened) next to J. P. Austin's, whero they aro doing a good business, tho three places being headquarters for Astorians. There aro fow men here, proportion ately. Tho writer counted twenty- seven people nt tho dinner table to day, and of the twonty-soven there were only two men County Glei-k, Trenchard, who sat at tho head of oho table, and your humble servant at "tho other. It is .said that after ono is herejtKrei or four days a delightful Tazy feeling steals over ono. and that then, and-hot till then, does the real enjoyment of ujtipiacB oegm. But to tho newest of newcomers there is a charm in this placo from, the earliest streak of dawn to the twilight hour that precedes tho night when half our swinging little planet lies wrapped in shadow, and. tho lonely light from surf-beaten Tillamook rock gleams brightly across tho heaving waters. Hoils and Tiaiples and other afTectlons arising from impure blood may appear at this season when e blood is heated. Hood's Sarsaparilla removes tho cause of thesa troubles by purifying, vitaliz ing and enriching tho blood, and at tho same time It gives etrength to the wholo system. Your ' FrlcH'ds , At the beach will appreciate a nice box of Jrmt. Thompson &Itoss. have a fine assortment, and will give careful atten tion to all such orders.

Immensely 3Joro"3IIflch.Ief than I Gen erally Suspected. Dr. Kin?, tho eminent medical writer, In a learned disquisition on oar national com plaint, constipation, says: Tho great quantity of cathartic pills, etc., which aro.taKcn.by the pcoplo ol this conn try aro proanctivo of immensely more mU chlcf than Is generally suspected. True, the physic unloads the bowels, but Its action teuds to diminish tho tone of tho Intestines: so that, Instead or removing costiveness, It ajtfcravatcs It, leaving the bowels in amoro torpid condition. Joy's Vegetable fiarsaparilla was designed to fill just such a contingency as the doctor's arraignment anticipates, vir.: instead of be ing a powerful mineral purgative, it is a mild vegetable Jaxatlvc, that, owing to its solvent aud gentlo stimulating properties, la o certain n relief in constipation that It has been given away to hundreds, not to bo paid for unless It was of posltlvo benefit It re places constipation almost immediately with a natural easy habit, and Is so mild that, unliko drastic purgatives, it can be taken indefinitely with perfect safety.
