Yesterday was one of those delight ful days which every one so much en joys. It was mild and warm as a summer day, and the streets were thronged with people, while the motor line carried a large number of specta tors to the ball game. Madison stre et improvement is nearly completed to Third street. The chil dren in that vicinity are discussing the probabilty of using it for a coast ing place this winter, but the fact that they are liable to go overboard will make them a little wary. The valuable premiums offered by The Astokian to its subscribers meet with appreciation and there are but few who examine them that fail to avail themselves of the opportunity to secure a largo amount of first class reading for an insignificant outlay.

The steam schooner Laguna, Capt Yarneberg, came down from Portland yesterday, and last evening sailed for Coos bay, where a load of lumber will be taken on for San Francisco. The pilot schooner Got. Moody went to pieces yesterday on the rocks at Norfii head, and is now in frag ments; most of which will bo thrown up on tho beach by the action of the "waves. It is probable that tho steamship Oeorae W. 2?7derwill be run between San Francisco, Astoria and Portland, carrying such dangerous freight as is not allowed to be-taken on a steamer which 'carries passengers. Steel for Water aad-Other Pipes. The ideal conduit for high pressures is a welded steel tube; such tubes could probably be subjected to a ten silo strain of 25,000 pounds with per fect safety, and would be much pre ferable to riveted pipe, not only on ac count of superior strength, but by reason of almost perfect interior smoothness. The adaption of a superior and cheap metal, such as mild steel, for conduits, will permit tho construction of hydraulic works in many parts of the world which now appear to bo impracticable, owing to the cost of many of tho methods still in use for tie transportation of water.

Important Suggestions Concerninc the New City Charter. . Editoh Astebiak: In adopting a new charter for the city, or amending the present one, it is important that every change made should be for the better. In tho charter as now contemplated I think .most of the changes and additions are proper and wise. There is one proposed change, however, which should be carefully examined before it is adopted. I re fer to the articlo in regard to the man ner ot improving the streets. The proposed method appears plausible, and is right probably in theory,nbutthe conditions in thi3 place are peculiar and it seems to me the law would work an injustice to a good many property holders. The streets in thej business portion of the city have cost the owners of the adjacent lots many hundreds oE dollars. They were ex pensive to build and have been expen sive to maintain. Some of the owners have made the property self-sustaining by putting np buildings for rent, but many of the lots have cost their owners large sums for street improve ments without giving any return whatever. Now in case it is proposed to improve a street running south from the river, and A owns a lot on Squemoquo street, valued at, say five thousand dollars, and B owns one on Tenth street, valued at five hundred, and it costs ten per cent of the value to improve, open or build the street, A would pay $500, or as much as B's lot is worth, notwithstanding 23 has never before paid anything for street bnildiug, and is the one mu4 lo be benefitted, for it is making his prop erty valuable whilo A is only keeping his in about the same stale of im provement it has been for ten or jwr hap3 twenty years past. AVhere streets have been once opened aud made fit for traffic by the owner of the adjacent property, aud accepted by the city, they then belong to the city and the public, and should bo kept in repair by the city. The ob jection to tho now plan is that the money spent by those who have kept their streets up for years counts for nothing, and they are placed on the same footing with those who have never spent a dollar on streets, but who have had the benefit of the streets which have been built and kept in repair. That portion of any street which has been improved and in use for years should not havo to pay for opening new streets where there has been none heretofore nor any need for them. Let tho streets which havo been in uso bo accepted at once, and in case of needed repairs let the city mako them, and it seems to mo no one could justly complain. But let new streets be opened at the expense of tho adjacent property, and after ac ceptance bo maintained by tho city. Equity. Astoria, Sept 20, 1890. Seattle Harbor Lines and Dock F.irilitics At a meeting of citizens last Mon day in Seattle, says the Press,'tha question of harbor survey and dock ago was considered at length. After deliberation the whole matter was re ferred to a committee of citizens, the council and the harbor commissioners jointly. beattle is to bocomo at an early day a maritime city of great importance. Tho settlement of harbor lines and tho adoption ot some systematic principle ot improvement is vitaL The water front is invaluable, and every foot ot space should be utilized to the very best advantage. . The meeting last night developed tho fact that there would likely be op position to opening all of the streets out to deep water; more owing to tho fact that certain parties owning con secutive blocks of prospective dockage would object to cutting their property at intersecting streets. It was claimed that to open waterways every 210 feet (every block) would prevent vessels lying at their outer end. Tho Press believes that in no case should the owners of water blocks bo permitted to ignore tho street water ways; that is, at no point along the direct front of the city. Across that portion of the fiats south and west it might be advisable to present stretches of unbroken surface larger than the width of blocks. But in the live busi ness portion of tho city it would cer tainly be unwise to allow owners to hold over across the intersecting street water ways. The above considerations are of in terest in this city as well as in Seattle. TUTRTV TEARS' PRACTICB A Letter from an Eminent Physician. Mn. Editeb: M tho risk of indorsing a proprietary preparation, I have a few Avorda In favor of a new laxative principle. But first, how I camo to discover It A patient asked about tating Joy's Vegetable Sarsa parllla. As sarsaparillas usually contain mercury orlodidcs I objected, and asked for the formula, which findlnffpurely vegetable, and so mild as to bo to my mind almost Inert, I oonsentod. Imagine my astouish mont when perfect laxative action was re ported. It has two great points. Firtt, being purely vegetable, it Is (unlike mercury) not cumulative In the system, being easily car ried offby the digestive processes ; and rrcond, it Is effective with a less quantity of the cathartic principle than has hitherto been attainable. It In this respect ranks as a discovery, and approaches the Ideal, viz.: tho least medicine consistent with the great est good. It harmonizes natural laxative action and perfect safety, and should inter est both the public and the profession. x crrr phtsiciax oj Tunnr vkahs rmirnci. Bar. Francisco Examiner, March 10, 1SS3.

God's purpose is not ! make human machines, but to make men, to inspire manhood with a nc ble awe ot its own mystery, and to hft up by many strango bat needful processes tho creature to the complete jess and peace of the Creator. Would any parent make his child a machine if he could? Suppose you who aie a father had it in your power from this day forward lo make your child a sneaking ma chine, so that bv lifting up one of your fingers there wonl 1 be an instantane ous response ou the part of the child, it yon had the power would you take away that particular aud distinctive something, the absence of which would break your heart? Would you un make the child? Your answer is, "No." You wish it to retain its power of rebellion, because that gives it its capacity for loyal ntlnclimcnt and affectionate obedience. It men could not blaspheme they could not pray. If they could not offend God, they could not please him. This is God's method of making us, aud it is per fectly easy to prove from analogies in the domestic circle that no sensible man would mako a mere mechanical instrument of his child if he could; that he would rather encounter all risks, dangers aud possibilities of hos tility and alienation, ves, and of the extremest prodigality , than disen- noblo and unmake Ins child bv con stituting him a mere machine answer ing to the touch or his arbitrary will. John Stuart Ulill, however, tells us that whatever clebe present in Deity, almightiuess is certainly absent, and he proves tins by saying that n there were almightiuess on the part of the nil-wise and all-gentle God. every living thing would expand its being in i?rpelual bl:s& Now, we havo come to learn by manv pro cesses, and processes most severe in many cases, that pain lamore than pain. Once wo 'misunderstood that miuisler of grace; wc have come to know that sorrow is moro than sor ser sor eow: that the griors that rend tho heart have mysteries around them. Some of them have come to learn that out of our dcepost sorrows, liavo come our purest joys; that if wo had wept less we had laughed less, aud if wc had not been so bowed down, and broken and crushed, aud altogether dismantled, and had a heavy foot set upon us from above, as ot a tyrant pitiless and austere, wo never could have been the same that we are, with such depth, and pith, and range, and value of character. He takes a vulgar view who calls sorrow and pain by their names only, and sees nothing beyond what the words imply. Pain to the young child is intolerable, but by aud by wo como to be able to nurse our very griefs, and to like to cherish painful memories we like to go back lo the old grave side and live the dark yesterdays over again. I cannot tell how it is, but I seem to like better to revive the recplleclion of some sorrows than to bring to mind the whirl of some joys. I want to show you that a thing may bo possible and impossible at tho same time, and that, therefore, power is something more than rude strength; that power is not tho simple clement that we sometimes supposo it to be, whether we view it either -with regard to ourselves or to God. It is a com pound quantity taking iu fhc whole of the human or divine attributes; and yet it is complete as the firma ment; it is one as the chrysolite, it is indivisible as life itself. " Here is a man who is an employer; he has fifty men iu his employment; he could dismiss every man of them to-morrow morning; yet he could not. It is possible and it is impossible. The directors of the bank of England could call a court to-morrow, and could startle the whole commercial world by some resolution of the rate of interest which I dare not venture in my most audacious mood to forecast; they could throw the commerce of Europe and even America into paralysis by just one resolution; and yet they could do nothing of the kind. It is possi ble and it is impossible. I could take this Bible and could tear it leaf by leaf and scatter the fragments from this pulpit in view of you all. Have I not strength enough ot arm to tear so frail a thing as this? If physical strength were all that is included in the possibilities of life there is noth ing to hinder me irom destroying this Bible. It is possible, yet it is wholly and absolutely impossible. I can do nothing of the laud. Something vastly superior to mere physical power -would irresistibly restrain my hand. There is power above power. Thero is law overlapping and involving law. Partial power is destruction, igno rant power i$ loss and ruin; it is the Goth and the Yandal. All power means preservation, all mightiness shows itseir not iu destroy ing but in keeping and conserving. Now to the mind of a thoughtless man God would appear to be literally aud completely almighty if He came out of His secret pavilion to-morrow morning, gathered all the stjirs into his infinite arms, crushed them to powder, and shed the powder upon tho wild sea, and upon the vastspaces around the earth's orbit, then, they think they would behold -mightiness, very grand and'sublirae. But, no, that would be only partial power, that would be God's weakness; to make the sun rise day by day without hitch or flaw, so quietly that none could lako notice of tho event by reason of its noise, that is almighti nessj that is the perfection ot power. "What tho' no real-voice or sound, Amid you Tadicnt orbs bo found J Jn reason's ear they all rejoice." Tho Psalmist said, "Power belongcth unto Thee; mid itutb Thee also belongeth mercy." Thcv mercy seat is over the ark of His slrength. The two always go together. His power is a merciful power. It would seem to be a very short and easy way with all kinds of evil and evil persons, including the devil, to put the whole mass into, ships, numerous enough, to carry them, to sail out into tho middle of tho Pacific ocean, and sink them all there like a stone. That would be weakness. God would then be in His most pitiful humiliation. God couldpick the reel ing, mad prodigal off the streets, and He could fit t him up in tho air, and in the presence of innumerable specta tors could scourge him with scorpions to the sinners great torment, and say in loud thunder,J"This is because I found him in satin's mire," That would be weakness, not power. He is mighty. How is He mighty? What form does His mighty take? Mighty to do what? He is mighty to save. Ho is strong to deliver. Hear it! His great might is brought out in saving men! He follows men, whispers to them, reminds them of mercies in the by-gono days; tells them the story, long and sad, yet not without hopefulness, of yesterday, and plies them with many an argument, and many a tender speech, and many a powerful expostulation. That is His might Coming near the city He wept over it That is a side of His power. He made ti3 as we are capa ble of wounding him, breaking His law, smiting Him in the face, turning round in sharp rebuke upon him and uttering bitter words. It was a mys tery on His part I cannot understand it In the long ages of the future may como the explanation, but the coming of evil into the universe is be yond me. But we are his creatures, and in sparing us, in yearning over us, in waiting for us at the door in the great storm of rain, it seems as though He could not be happy till He had seen the prodigal back again in the empty chair at the table. Yes, thero is an almightiness of love, an omnip otence of mercy, an infinite strength of relf-restraint still more marked than in thoso hasty executions which we, in the poverty of our intellect and the shallowness of our moral nature, mistake for energy and for action worthy the sublimity' of omnipotence. If men had only strength, they would continually be acting foolishly. Mere power is worse than nothing. It is something to be dreaded and avoid ed. Dr. Livingstone once chastized a native African servant who had greatly provoked him whenon his travels, was so ashamed of his weak ness that he vowed never to repeat the act, and he never did. Power must havo behind it and in it, and as part of itself, reflection, wisdom, power of comparison, power ot estimating things different and things contrasted and things similar, power must not be in tho hand, it must be in the head and heart as well. Let us disabuse our minds of the thought that strength is power. Strcugth 13 one side of power, one aspect of it Power is a componnd quality, a very complex reality, and it combines iu itself wisdom, reflection, jndgment, conscience, feeling, sense of obligation indeed, it sums up in one comprehension all tho elements that make us men. This being so, I think it will be well for me to wait before I suggest any methods of improving the plans of God. Why, I got wrong the other day in adding up twenty figures, there fore I may be wrong if I venture to suggest that the human body could have been better made some other way. I have sometimes spelled a word wrongly, aud tho man who could get wrong in such a small matter as that ought to be very particular how he accepts an invitation of men to im prove npon tho Divine plan. I once sent a letter to a man who lived 2,500 miles away from the place whore the letter was addressed to; it was dono in mistake. Now, it a man were per fect through all that ho has gone over, then he might havo some right, hav ing created a large platform, to speak from it and to say: "Give mo tho keys of creation and I will put things right" Bnt it ho has gone out anil forgotten to take tho key of his house door with him; it he has got up in the dark and taken a spoonful of poison instead of a spoonful of medi cine; it ho has forgotten tho few little bills hero and there which ho ought to nave paid and which he intended to pay; if he went down town on a particular errand and met Mr. Brown, Jones or Bobinson, and talked with him for five minutes, and then forgot utterly what ho was there for, and stands cudgeling his brains like a sim-' pleton; if any man has been playing little games and tricks of that kind, I, for one, am not prepared to allow him to reconstruct the great universe. I believe that God will vindicate Him self; I am not going to be His apolo gist I only show that man, who is so liable to mistakes, is not to be trusted The conclusion has forced itself upon me, that a good deal of ourunhappi ness is duo lo ourselves. I have no good opinion of a man who sits -down in a strong draught, takes a severe cold, ana then blames the Almighty for not liaving made things more com fortable, or tho man who puts his foot in the fire and burns himself, and uiuu uumpiujus mat me nniverso is made upon principles that aro so ob viously aud inexorably penal. Men have often not to go upward, but to go into their own selves and their own lives, and there they will find the secret of tho mismanagement and tho unhappiness of .which they complain. That tho universe might havo been mado npon some different plan, and that wo might havo been made ac cording to some different model, is perfectly possible. We can only deal with tho case as we find it, and if within these narrow limits we find ourselves culpable and criminal faulty, defective, stumbling in matters which lie within the range of our strength, which we could havo done better if we had intended I say that, looking within these narrow limits, we find a great "deal to be ascribed to ourselves, which is often sought to bo fastened npon God. If I 'wanted to show forth God's power, I would not take you to tho mountains, nor would I s?ek to climb the stars and walk through tho tem ples of tho constellations. I would tako you to Calvary, lo the Cross, to the dying Son of Man, and 1 would say that in that mystery of sacrifice, in thatsublimity of love, in that apoc alypse ot compassion aud mercy, we seo the wisdom of God aud the power of God, "I am not ashamed of tho gospel ot Christ for it is the power" Almightiness. -is often the sup pression of strength not sensational display. We find in-patience what is lacking in heroism, in suffering the complement- of chivalry, and in wait ing that which completes the radiant sphere of the noblest the most daunt less, tho most heroic service.
