The Citizens Rising TO the Occasion.

Mr.. Frank E. Habersham, who was
in the city yesterday, reports that
work is progressing favorably on the
Astoria and South Coast railroad.
There are altogether about 800 men
employed on the road. The grade is
complete to the Seaside, and five
miles is graded on the main line at
Clatsop and twelve miles out of Hills
boro. The track is laid from Skip
anon out to Carnahan's distance of
eight miles. The bridge across the
bay at the mouth of Young's river is
about half completed, and work is
being pushed with vigor at every
point.
Every man who comes up from As
toria has his pockets full OF maps of
additions to the town, and other real
estate, and it may be remarked that
although it has required Astoria some
time to get started in the race of prog
ress, her citizens rise to the occasion,
with great vim and vigor, and when
it comes to setting forth the many ad.
vantages of ''the only sea port" they
need no instructions from Tacoma,
Los Angeles, Seattle, Spokane Falls,
nor any other place. Some of them
would charm the money out of the
pockets of bronze statue, and make
man believe that the sun rises of
the mouth Of the Columbia, and the
first place kissed by its morning
beams is the heights back of Astoria

The lesson of the approaching
Christmas holiday is the lesson of the
hour-to be studied, remembered and
laid away in the storehouse of the
heart Happy is the man who has the
means and the will to give. There
are many little charities that call at
tention-many acts of benevolence,
trivial in themselves, but a world of
advantage to other souls than yours,
whose hands are held out in silent
pleadings for assistance. The tears
can be wiped from eyes that will
cause angel hands to pass soothingly
over your brow in distressful hours.
Lips can be made to smile whose
laughter will re-echo in years to come,
when the memory of your acts shall
have passed away from your thoughts
like a tale that is told.

There are probably more news
papers bought in Astoria, than in any
other city of its size in the United
States. Besides the city press there
are a great many Oreg0RiGRS taken.
The number of San Francisco papers
read is also very,large, while thousands
of eastern papers and magazines are
circulated. The number of foreign
papers taken is also surprisingly sur
prisingly large. Astorians are read
ing people.

M. Herrick says that you can't talk
salmon in San Francisco any more.
1t Is all Astoria real estate. As soon
as they find that man is from Asto-
ria, they chase him up in a corner, and
pull copy of THE AsToRIAN on him,
and want to know all about this addi-
ton, and that addition, and if it isn't
good buy, and what are the chances
for getting in. Well that's all right.
Time was when all an Astorian could
talk in San Francisco, was salmon,
and he couldn't always talk that.

Portland detectives are much exer-
cised over a peculiar discovery. In
the lower portion of the city, some
children, while out playing, found a
human ear lying on the sidewalk.
Subsequently it was taken to the
police headquarters. An examination
showed that the organ had been sew
cred from the head only a short time
prior to the discovery. The ear be-
longed to man. How it came there
is mystery, which the detectives are
endeavoring to solve. Whether a
murder has been committed or a fight
has taken place, in which the ear was
slashed off, or some joke practiced by
medical students is a question.
