rhe Heir to China,s Throne.

The birth of an heir to the Chinese
throne at this time is an event of more
than ordinary Importance to the peace
of the empire. Kuang Hsu is the first
emperor of the present dynasty whose
right of occupancy is not based upon
actual descent. His predecessor, Tung
Chih, died childless in 1875, after a
reign of only one year. He left
several brothers, all having children,
among whom strife at once arose as
to the succession. After several weeks
of contention and intrigue compro-
mise was effected by which the young
widowed empress and her unborn child
were put to death, and the present en-
peror, then two years old, and the son
of the seventh prince" who was a
was brother of Tung Chih, and him.
self one of the contestants for the
throne, was chosen by a family council.
In order to correct the succession, the
dead emperor was supposed to adopt
this infant as his son and successor,
and an imperial decree to that effect
was promulgated throughout the EN-.
wire. Kuang Hsu has been an invalid
prom his birth, and his death at any
time would occasion no surprise;

The Remains of Colgate Found.

A Missoula, Montana, dispatch of
Tuesday states that the Missoullan pub
fishes the particulars of the recovery and
burial of the remains of George Colgate,
the deserted cook of the notorious hunt
ing party headed by VIM. E. Carlin, son
of General Carlin, late commander of
the Department of the Columbia. The
discovery was made August %, by Lieut.
enant Elliott, eight miles below the spot
where the desertion occurred on the
Clearwater river. All that remained of
Colgate's body was the thigh bone and
one leg. These were mangled and
gnawed by wild beasts. At the same
spot also was found match box, fishing
lines and other articles identified as Col
gates property. Lieutenant Elliott was
sent out on his mission by General Otis,
present commander of the Columbia, to
which Office he makes full report, there
being many points tending to prove Col
gates desertion by the Carlin party was

Quiet Amusement.

A gentleman!y little fight occurred on
the sidewalk in front of Maetz & Pundt's s
last night. One of the parties knocked
the other down, he falling in a chair
which upset, and then, the knocked
down party kept on falling, breaking the
rounds out from between the chairs legs,
and inserting his body tightly therein.
Whereupon the other party fell on him
and pounded him until he got tired and
the fight was going on or afterwards, for
when it was through, the victorious
party walked away while the other got
up and washed the blood off himself
without making any explanations.

more.

Mr.. F. A. Young writes us to the effect
that he does not believe the story
printed in THE CHRONICLE the other day
concerning the poisoning of foxes, and
then of birds from eating the carcasses.
He says that he has poisoned coyotes for
years, and the cats and birds eat the re-
mains of the deceased wolhets with inn
punity. We agree with Mr.. Young fol-
we do not believe the story either, fol
one reason because we did not invent it.
We adopted, and adapted it, from q
letter in the Oregonian.

Query.

"What ought to be done with parties
who have been married and who say
they have been divorced, and who are
both staying in his house on his ranch p"
The above ''queery," somewhat mis-
spelled and written on a postal card
reached us yesterday. The communica-
ton was unsigned, but as it dealt only
with an abstract and interesting Dues
ton we save it from the waste basket.
We admit frankly that we, do not know
how to answer the question, for one
reason because it is too indefinite. The
questioner does not say, for instance,
whether the parties had been man and
man and wife, or not. He does not state
the sex of the parties, so that we have
no means of knowing whether they are
both grass widows, grass widowers, or a
grass widow and a grass. widower. We
do not know the premises hence can
reach no definite and satisfactory con-
clusion. Presuming however that the
parties were formerly man and wife, and
are now divorced from each other, we
would say that the situation is peculiar; /;
but outside of the fact that the theory is
demonstrated that people get along
better when not tied to each other, than
when they are, we see no reason why
the same roof should not cover them.
AS each of them has proved crank
pizen" to the other, they can be let
alone with as much propriety as if they
had never been married at all, We
know two brothers back in Illinois, one
of whom was named James and the
other John. James got rich by attend
ing strictly to his own business, and
John accumulated fortune by letting
other peoples business alone. There is
moral to this story that is not difficult
to find.

Moving a Town,

The town of Gold Beach, in Curry
county, is being moved across the river.
A large bar formed in front of the town
and boats were unable to get anywhere
near the town, hence the necessity of
moving the town to the boats. In re-
gard to the matter the Gazette of that
place says: "This week will see all the
buildings to be moved safely across the
river. The Edison house, adjoining the
Gazette Office, went Tuesday night, the
small building adjoining the hotel,
known as the old printing Office, went
over Wednesday night, and the hotel
is now being loaded on the scows. 1t
will take some time yet to place the
buildings permanently in their new
locations, but already the other side of
