A. B. HAMMOND.
Mr. Hammond missed yesterday'!
boat, and the above, meg ex
plains tha change; but lh ques
tion of Mr. Hammond arrival la
of not so much Importance as th
ettlrment of th depot ubcrlptlon
Hat Ther la lltll or no us In Mr.
Hammond' coming lo Astoria until thla
much-vexed xViatler Is satisfactorily dis
poned of. It la hard for buslne men to
understand why certain parties should
obstruct lh progress of affairs by such
action aa hava taken plac within th
past two daya.
Two or thre prominent ubacrtherse to
tha original depot cubscrlptioo have,
within lha past few daya, mada an at
tempt lo withdraw from their agree
ments Thl has left the commute with
Insufficient property with which lo meet
th escrows It will take therefor, om
llttl llm further to maka up thl deficit.
II aeema too bad, at lh present Juncture
that such a contingency ahould bav
arisen. Th commute, however, far
from being disheartened or discouraged,
baa taken hold of lh two horns of tb
new dilemma, with renewed vigor, and
expect to wlp out all obstacles within a
few day. Tha withdrawals mentioned ;
do nol In any way affect the recently
raised by popular subscription, which Is
only a drop In th bucket compared wltb
the entire amount necessary for tha
wbole site, but are changes and with
drawals mode In the original donations
and trades negotiated.
Hy thoae of the committee who ar In
a position to know. It I thought that
with Mr. Hammond In the city, and by
vigorous work, all parties can be brought
to an understanding and an adjustment
readily reached of all tb discordant
elements In the proposition. It remain
to be seen Just what Astofixn will do
lo substantiate their own good name and
close at once thla vital and most Im
portant question.

A liee la a busy little crealur. When
the weather I fin It puts In 'ong hours,
and If nature had provided It with an
umbrella It would he glad to work in the
rain. It can gather about a grain of
honey In a day no more and. thetcfore,
you wouldn't reckon a single he at a
high valuation. But a hive of the ordi
nary slxe will shelter 10,000 bees who do
day's work outside In th garden and
lO.GOO more who do th cooking and
weeping and dusting InM le. They maka
a nlca little family, and If they keep
steadily at It they make a, good deal of
honey, of which the owner of the farm
religiously roba them. Years ago
speculator sent swarms of bees to the
West indies, hoping to have honey In
plenty. But the wis little rogues soon
learned that there was no us In piling
up honey for winter, because lh flowers
were In blowom all tha pear round. A
be Isn't a fool, by any means.
