THE LATEST SEA SIGHT.

Twas off the bleak Chehalis coast.
While fishing from a boat,
Some sailors Saw-Such Is their boast
A monstrous snake afioat.
One hundred feet it was in length.
Three hundred inches wide:
So great was its stupendous strength.
1t lashed in foam the tide.
Its tail was long, its head was short.
And near its nine-foot nose
Were caverns, whence q roaring snort
Blew like a cyclone blows.
Each side of its ferocious face
Was an enormous horn;
And, with a grim and CHASTITY grace.
II shook its name with scorn.
These are the facts which thoss tar
gave,
Without remorse or ruth;
They swear they'll sink beneath the
wave
If this is not '.the truth"
let this same sight will come again.
Like frightful dreams come back
To him whose swolled and Seethine
brain
Is STEPPED in appieiack.
The lesson learned from .h:~. each
knows.
Is sad, We must confeS-:
Yet. still, beyond a doubt it shows
The power OF the press.

Foreign Salmon Shipments.

The Ice King cleared from this port
yesterday with valuable cargo for Lon
don. She was chartered by A. w. Berry,
of this place. Her disbursements proper
do not aggregate above $1,000. Had she
gone TO Portland the probability is, argu-
ing from past experience. the vessels dis
bursements would have been at least
$4,000. This illustrates the superiority
of Astoria over interior points as a port
for ships TO load and sail from. as in
the case of the FGll0cetOicn and other
vessels that have loaded here, the great
difference in favor of Astoria.
On the Ice King go 7.49l cases salmon
and GO cs halibut. Following are the
shippers: Cape Fox Packing Co., 1,554
cases; Cutting Packing Co, 100: Aber-
deem Packing Co., 1886; West Coast,

Gut OF the Depths.

Among the articles jettisoned on the
Queen of Tie Pacific when she ran
aground at the mouth Of the Columbia
some time ago, was a box containing
some beautiful wedding presents, the
property of Mr.. b. L. Stone and bride.
The jewels were thought irrevocably lost,
but ii seems that recently the case con
tanning them was found by some wreck
ers on the coast, and falling into the
hands of honest Capt. A. L. Harris of the
life saving service. the treasure trove was
sent during the week TO the grateful
owners in this city. These gifts, aside
from their intrinsic value, are doubly
dear to the Owners-precious for the
givers' sake and precious on account OF
their miraculous return from the sea-

longer a citizen of Oregon. He sailed
yesterday in a great big ship for the cove
of Cork, and the places that knew him
once will know him no longer. Long
had Mickey resisted the coy blandish-
ment of those who induce bold mariners
to man the yards, but when the trim
Ilchgreen came in, and he was shown her
superior accommodations he yielded. II
was expressly stipulated that Mickey
should have stateroom to himself dur
ing the entire voyage; that fresh linen
should be laid out for him every morn
ing, glass of sherry, with a raw egg in
it, brought 10 his bedside when he rang,
and hot water for shaving and some but
tered toast be furnished shim at the same
time. Mickey will distinguish himself
and be heard from in foreign courts.

WAR OF RAcEs.-A force of men is en-
gagged in laying some water pipe down
Concomly street. Now, TO lay water pipe
in due and proper manner, ii is neces
sary to dig trench. Up the street and
toward this trench yesterday afternoon
came a drove of Chinese, herding and
surrounding four fat hogs, which, with
sacrifcial rite, We're to be placed as a
votive Offering to the gods. One of the
hogs tumbled into the trench, and falling
upon one of the men working therein,
aroused his ire. Striking the hog and
casting him forth with violence his owner
objected to and spat upon the ground
with hvehemence, ,whereupon the Caucasian
arose and slapped the Chinaman and con-
signed him and his kinfolk TO eternal
combustion. Then did the three other
Cinnamon 90 to Justice Fox, and before
him, in the name of their injured coun-

The ILwAco RAnRoAD.-L. A. Loomis
was in the city yesterday and was ex-
tremely sanguine in relation TO the pro-
posed railroad from Hwaco to Oyster
vile and Gray's Harbor, of which SO
much has appeared in The AsToRIAN
lately. Without any effort Mr.. Loomis
has secured over half the amount re
quired to build and equip the road, and
he anticipates but little difficulty in pro-
curing the remainder. The intention is
to begin operations as soon as possible.
The route selected is an excellent one,
and the natural road-bed over which the
rails are TO be laid is of such a character
that nothing but the most inclement
weather could interfere with successful
prosecution of the work. 1t is thought
that ninety days from the time the first
wheelbarrow load of earth is shovelled
off, the toot of the locomotive will wake
the echoes of Bakers Bay, and il is rea-
sonable TO suppose that the LIST of May
will see the conductor at nwaco sing out,
