THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, THURSDAY MQRNIN.O, JANUARY 23, 18.9.3. AN OLD-TIMER. Oalusha A. Grow, the. most pictur esque figure la Pennsylvania politics, has been nominated to succeed Con-gressman-ftt-large Mm. Lllley, deceased. Galusha A." Grow was born In Connec ticut about 70 years ago. He began practicing law in 1847, was elected to congress In 1850, and served 12 years. In the 37th congress he served as speak er from July 4, 1861, to March 4, 1863. Afterward he was chairman of the re publican state central committee of Pennsylvania; became connected with a Texas railroad as president and -returned to Pennsylvania In time to take part In the presidential campaign of 1876. He was offered, but declined, the appointment of minister to Russia. , DICKENS' BROTHER. Like his famous brother, Frederick Dickens did not agree with his wife a beautiful woman who possessed what may be called even genius as a must' clan. It was no mere incompatibility of temper in this case, however. The divergence was a vital one; and the friends of the lady as might be ex pec ted made indignant appeals to the famous member of the husband's fam lly. They; no doubt, supposed In their panic of distress, that Dickens with all Ills reputation, could Intervene with effect; and they did not hesitate to hint at the scandal which would Involve his own name borne by his brother. It was then that Dickens had his say: "No painful sort of publicity," he wrote, "con possibly alter the fact that that I have no power or shadow of power over Frederick, no communlca tlon with him, no knowledge of his do ings. I do not in the least doubt (I wish I did) that he acts as you describe, nor do I affect to have viewed with philos ophy the decay of so near a relative, for whom I have done more than I can in any reason hope to do for each of my seven boys. Out one Implication in your letter renders it necessary for me to observe that I know no one can disgrace me but myself, and that the name I have made is in my keeping, and in no other man's." The last sentence forms a sort of charter for fumous brothers against in famous brothers, or against brothers who, as in this case, arc, at leasts less than creditable. Among; all the pub. llshed works of Dickens no passage ex cells this in sterling stand-up dignity; and I rescue It, therefor, from oblivion London News. OILING THE WATERS. On board the German ship Retnbck, (formerly the British ship City of Luck now) now in San Francisco, can be seen the latest device for spreading oil to calm an angry sea. It Is the Invention of a Dane, and called a "Wave Sub duer." It consists of a stout canvas bog; holding three gallons of oil. At the lower end of the bag Is securely fastened a brass chamber 7 Inches wide and 214 inches deep, and coming to a point at the extreme end. In the chain- ber are punched eight slots or slanting holes 54 or an Inch long, through which the oil flows. By means of a plate In side the chamber worked by a screw, at the side, the flow of oil can be reg ulated according to the fury of the IMt Pflntnln Hfhmlflt aavm that I Id the best device he has ever tried, ami was of great benefit to him on his last voyage home from the port. He also ays that after numerous experiments he has ascertained that porpoise oil is by far ttie best that can be used for preventing heavy seas from breaking THE REVIVAL At last night's service at the M. E. church the subject for the discourse was the lament of Jesus on the cities of Judea. Mat. 11: 20-24. The pastor said in part; "The reason of the awful Judgment pronounced against those cities, was their neglect of the great opportunities afforded them, their clos ing their eyes to the mighty works done in their mldsU Astoria has had greater opportunities than Capernlum; then let her take warning and flee from the wrath to come. Now is the only time that is promised us. But Jesus extends to all the Invitation. 'Come un to ma all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' " At the close of the sermon there was a very interesting altar service, and sev eral in the audlenco asked for the prayers of the church. All felt there was a great refreshing from, the Lord. Bong service this evening at 7 o'clock, and DrBushong especially requests "that all. regardless of denomination, whether saved or not.
