Hew. Where. When.

Remarking upon the dull times
at Astoria, the wide awake cor
respondent of the Oregonian says:
Notwithstanding all of which,
we are endeavoring to be Jolly
under creditable circumstances,
patiently waiting for something to
turn up which will usher in the
good time coming, and therefore
shout with the sanguine and IRE.
pressible editor of THE AsTOIIAN,
Vive la Willard, simply on general
principles, and without much in
quiry as to the appropriateness oi
the exclamation, as applied TO the
interests Of Astorians.
If the Oregonian correspondent
or any other man; has a better
person for Astoria than Mr.. Willard
why just trot him out? The As
ToRIIAN considered the fitness of
the thing when it exclaimed Nive Ia
Willard, but If anybody can dc
better, let us know how, where
when.

Physiologically, soup has great
value for those who hurry to and
from their meals, as it allows an
interval of comparative rest to the
fainting stomach before the more
substantial beef and mutton is at
tackled. Rest before solid food be-
ing as important as rest afterit. Let
a hungry and weary merchant or
professional begin boldly with roast
beef, and what is the result? The
defeat is often as sudden as was
the attack. When the body is
weary, the stomach cannot stand
the shock of an i'll masticated half
pound of beef. But if a small
plate of soup be taken, nourish-
ment will soon be introduced, and
strength to receive more sub
stantial material will follow.

The Supreme-court of the Unit

ally due TO them out of the policy
Any excess collected from a com.
pany can be recovered in a court
of law by the heirs of the person
insured. This decision, recently
rendered, is a matter full Of inter
est for parties who are in the spec
ulative life insurance business.
This little game, it would seem.

The San Francisco Examiner

an exaggerated idea about the
cost of the residence OF the rail-
road men of San Francisco. As a
matter Of fact, there is not a
single residence in San Francisco
that cost, ground and all, Sl,000,-
900 or one half of it. The most
costly one is that of Mrs. Mark
Hopkins, and that cost, furniture,
decorations and all, a trife more
than 100000. Governor Stan
fords house, adjoining it, of which
so much has been said, cost less
than S250,0O0. Mr.. Crockers cost
100000 or thereabouts.

Anxiety is the poison of human
life. 1t is the parent of many sins,
and of more miserics. In a world
where everything is doubtful,
where you may be disappointed,
and be blessed in disappointment;
what means this restless stir and
commotion of mind? Can your
solicitude alter the case or unravel
the intricacy of human events?
Can your curiosity pierce through
the cloud which the Supreme be-
ing hath made impenetrabie to
mortal eye? To provide against
every important danger by the
employment Of the most promising
means is the Office of wisdom: but
at this point wisdom stops.

A Collision of Freight Trains.
 ST. PAUL, July IA frightful collision occurred yesterday near Hudson, Wis. The rear portion of freight train consisting of fourteen heavily loaded cars broke loose at the summit of a steep grade and ran back towards Hudson with incredible rapidity. Standing on the main track at the station was another freight train of forty-five cars drawn by two locomotives. All the train men except the engineer, George Frider, jumped in time to save themselves. Frider appeared too dazed to move in time and was instantly killed in attempting to jump out of the cab window. The track was uprooted for distance of forty rods. The mass of wreckage is enormous, nearly every car be- ing ruined. Both engines and several cars were driven back several rods and broke through trestle.

odor. On the ground short distance from
 the tree, where it had rolled, was his head,
 tn ghastly face only partly turned to sight.
 A blue silk handkerchief knotted tightly
 around the discolored neck told the story.
 Either by his own or other hands, the man had been suspended from branch high up
 in the tree and slowly strangled. From the repulsive appearance of the head the deed must have been done at least five weeks ago. Evidently the upper knot of the handker chief had relaxed and the body tumbled part ly down until caught as described, when the head had fallen by the shock or routed off after. He had on a long frock coat, in one of the pockets of which wallet was found small sum of money and a re- ceipt for board bill made out by the Jaffrey IN. H. Hotel to George N. Mayo. This was all that could be found to identify him. Southwick people say that man of this de- scription had been seen in the vicinity several weeks ago, but he was 8 stranger to all of them
