If TIE Historian rightly under.
stands this matter Of exchange oi
school books, the time allowed for
such exchange does not expire until
the school superintendent is satisfied
that every child is supplied. 1t has
been stated that the time expired Oc-
tober 31st, but it is not so nominated
in the bond. Doubtless it would suit
the publishers very well, who succeed
ed in saddling this thing on to the
state, to have the time expire on that
date, so they could begin charging a
good round price for the new books,
which are not a bit better than the
old. But, till every boy and girl in
the county is supplied with the new
books in exchange the time does not
expire, notice of such expiration to be
given by the school superintendents.

From our esteemed contemporary,
the War Cry, it is learned that in As
toria five precious souls have recently
been yanked from the burning pit and
washed in the blood Of the Lamb, that
the devil is having tough old time of
it, and that the Salvation army has
callouses on its knees from praying
that Jehovah will not damn the po-
lice of this town. The War Cry
claims to circulate 1856 papers here.
Like enough.

The Astorians who put up $500 for
the page and half of "write up" in
a recent pamphlet, which THE AsTo-
RIAN gave value to by giving it circu-
lation yesterday morning, ought to get
a rebate, a draw down. The Dalles
was offered page for $50. Our sapi-
ent citizens gave $500 for page and
a half. The Dalles folks concluded to
help the local press and surprise their
home newspapers. Now if a page
can be had for $50, a page and half
ought to be secured for S75. Grant
ing that the stuff was worth $50 a
page in pamphlet that will lie on the
shelves till sold for a cent a pound for
waste paper, even then there ought to
be a rebate to our Astoria friends of
$l25. Great is humbug! Yea, verify.
That makes four this year. The fifth
will show up by Christmas, and will,
if stranger without a dollars care
for the place, catch fresh lot to bite
at the same bare hook.

Since last Monday the writer has
noticed that two flags have been fly
ing on the roof of the custom house:
the usual revenue flag with the aigle
burd in the northeast corner, and
above that flag, flies the flag that for
a hundred years has never known de-
feat. Upon inquiry he learned that
by order of the secretary of the treas
ury the stars and stripes shall hence
forth fly during business hours above
the federal buildings in this broad
land. It's a good idea, We don't
see enough of that flag that the Chi
cagO anarchists Missed the other day.
Now here is another suggestion. Let
collector Hobson, or some other phil
anthropist see that a suitable flag
pole is provided. Appoint, for in
stance. Capt. Hustler a committee on
flag pole. The flag. with AZ stars on
it shouldn't be made fly from a measly
little pole that already has a flag
reeved to it. Let it have a pole of its
own. Give the loyal winds of Ore
gon a chance to fill its folds as it
fiutters in the free air. A requisition
for one flag pole from Washington,
ID. G. is in order. That is, the re-
QUESTION is wanted from Washington.
ID. G. The flag pole itself can be fur
nished from handy bit of timber in
this neck of woods.

IS IT ARSON.
STARTLING ARREST OF THn
PORTER OF THE BUILDING.

Charged With Setting Fire to the
Building by an Nye Witness.
Since writing an account Of the fire,
excitement has been produced BY the
arrest Of VIM. Anderson, the colored
porter Of the building. charged With
setting fire to the building, and the
testimony seems direct and damning.
The arrest was made at two o'clock
BY Officer J. G. Hall, the day officer on
that beat, who deserves credit for good
work in the matter. Faint rumors reach
ed his ears this forenoon which led him
to work up the case to finish so de.
cisive that he proceeded to make the
arrest at once Of VIM. Anderson, whom
he took to the jail accompanied by Mr..
George Jennings, the witness on whom
the information was founded. MI.
Jennings was taken to the grand jury
rooms and the grand jury, on hearing
OF the case, at once proceeded 70 ad-
nit Mr.. Jennings His examination
waa very short, but SO important that
others were summoned at once, and at
this writing startling disclosures seem
probable.
The principal witness, Geo. Jen-
nings, keeps lunch stand nearly op-
posite the depot. He is . white man
who has been in the city only two
months, but has every appearance Of
an honest, straightforward man. His
evidence is direct. He states that this
morning little after six, while at his
lunch stand, he saw the porter, Ander.
son, whose duty it is to sweep out the
depot, etc., open one of the depot
doors, strew kerosene on some goods by
throwing lamp against the wall aud
deliberately set fire to the oil. That he,
Jennings, at once ran over to the de
pot and called to the negro to open the
door and get water to put out the fire,
and that Anderson refused to get water
and began throwing the doors open
and called on him to do the same.
When Officer Hall had traced the
reports spoken Of to Jennings he SEEM
ed disinclined to give evidence, but
being pressed BY the officer told the
story Is given above.
Officer Hall went to the ward and
found the colored man at work assist.
ing in removing goods from tho burn
ed car to another car. When arrested
ne took the matter coolly, asking what
it was for, and on being told that it
was for burning the depot, he asked
the officer why he should want to burn
the depot. On the way to the jail he
and the witness Jennings had On acri.
monious dispute, in which he admitted
to opening the doors, etc., but denied
