BY reference to the time table Of the
Seashore road, published in this morn
ing's Historian, It win be seen that the
new organization has started In to give
the publlc the benefit OF frst-class SER
vice. It would seem. however, that there
is yet some little room for Improvement
respecting the leaving OF trains from the
bridge ON Sunday morning, Passengers
from Portland destined for the North
Beach are able to leave Astoria in such
season as 10 be able TO reach the beach
by nine or half past nine In the morning,
while. under the present arrangement,
not only do the Clatsop beach people
fan 10 arrive there much before noon on
Sunday. but they are put to the add
tional inconvenience OF having to spend
nearly two dreary hours IN waiting
en- the end OF the bridge before
tne departure Of the train for Sea-
side. There may be good and satisfactory
reasons known to the management why
the schedule should be arranged in this
way. but to the multitudes who may be
expected to iocix down here after the
season fairly opens. II VIII seem a strange
and wholly unreasonable proceeding. and
is. besides. an unfair discrimination
against our own beach. The schedule
for week days Is all that could be desired
and 1t Is hoped the same conysnienc can
be Afforded ON sundays as wen.

The war In Cuba stin drags dts slow
length along. The Spanish troops, dl-
rected as they are by the first soldier OF
Spain, have UP to the present seemingly
produced little or no effect on the revolu-
tionlsts. There are accounts from time
to time OF sporadic encounters, in which
now the Spaniards and now the Cuban
insurgents have the upper hand, but there
has been no decisive engagement, and a
cessation OF the war appears no nearer
than 1t was before the advent on the
scene of General Campos. That COM
mander is rumored to be disgusted with
the situation on the island, and TO have
declared that he would advise Spain to
abandon Cuba to her own fate in case
things should continue in condition
so unsatisfactory as at present This
Is somewhat singular language for man
in General Campos' position, and the
rumor may not be authentic. 1t seems

HEREDITARY CRIME.

The ost-Intelligencer takes occasion
TO point a serious moral In the case
of one Mary Logue, who is described as
"the terrified wife Of drunkard and the
perltent mother Of thief" The woman
is dead, but a letter left by her, the
Post says, is one OF the most remarkable
contributions to the pathology of crime
found in the annals. This poor woman
acknowledges herself responsible for her
sons moral perversity. He has lived q
life of wrong doing, and his mother
ascribes It to ante-natal influences. She
says that shortly before he was born his
father was drinking drinking more than
was good for him. is the gentle way
IN which the wife describes It. II found
It very hard to get any money from him
for our bread and meat. At last It got
so hard that the only way 1 could get
his money was by waiting until he was
asleep at night and picking his pockets.
Many and many a night 1 have got I'D
when he was asleep In the bed by my
side and like thief gone through his
pockets and taken what money found
there. Then he had hot temper and
I was always afraid when / was pick
dig his pockets he would awake and find
me doing It. Thus I went through all
the brain sensations of daring burglar,
even such as am informed you have be-
come. Shortly after that you were born,
and I firmly believe you came into the
world thief, owing to that crlme-llke,
though necessary practice of mine"
She signs herself your affec.ionate
mother" The Intelligence, gentleness
and affectionateness shown by the letter
are proof conclusive that in her a good
woman was wrecked.
In less startling way, the same
thought must have occurred to many
parents-father and mother-in the
anxious moments OF preparation for the
care OF a new soul. Few parents fail
to suffer anxiety for their growing
children--an anxiety which does not les
sen with their added years. But with
how few does the anxiety and sense of
responsibility begin early enoughl II
Mothers and fathers of Intelligence feel |
In their hearts that in the divine ordina-
ton of things we are far from the con-
dltion In which heredity is taken into |
account. SO much is left to chance. |
Tristram shandy had a giimmerng of the
truth. Nautilus had perverted idea of
1t. Teachers writing In the calm soil
tude OF phlosophic thought have ex-
pressed It. Yet In the confession of this
poor woman a shocking exempnfcation
Is found Of the theories learnedly pro-
pounded, OF fears silently pondered and
OF consequences lost sight OIL
Her warning will be little needed; there
is small hope OF a very general rerorma-
ton; but the letter suggests grave consid-
eratiens In penology. II prevention of
such causes may not be had the conse-
quences may have to be met by perhaps
less severe punishment. by an extern
sion OF the scope OF institutions for the |
care Of hereditary criminals.

There has been launched from the
Walker shlpyard of Sir w. G. Arm
strong. Mitchell & Co.. an ice-break.ng
steamer, which the British press states
is very powerful, although few details
Of her equipment are given. The vessel
is intended to be employed in conjunc-
ton, with large railway ferry transfer
steamer in transporting railway cars
across the Volga river. The vessel is
about $50 feet long, 96 feet beam and will
be fitted with twin screw engines of
1,4O0 horse power A novelty in construc-
tion is that the vessel Is divisible long
itudina1ly The canal locks through
which the vessel must pass between st.
Petersburg and the Volga are but 28
feet wide, while the steamer, as stated,
Is OF S6 feet beam. The hull is, therefore,
so arranged that 1t can be divided into
two parts longltudInally for passage
through the locks and subsequently, re-
Joined ahoat. The frames OF the ves-
sci are closely spaced, in the bow portion
they are doubled, and much OF the shell
plating is an inch thick.
