VJr Willi' 7ol. xix. Astoria, Oregon, Thursday Morning, September 20, 1883. No. 147. WHAT SIT A Ttli THE BOYS T0? Parents are continually con fronted with this question. Many parents answer it wrongly. The father desires that his sons shall not undergo the toil and self-denial that he has undergone, for getting, or perhaps not realizing in any proper sense, that it was that toil and self-denial that made him the man he is. The mother has her foolish notions about the respectability of certain grades of employment which enable those following them to wear good clothes ami exhibit a few of the superficial evidences of refinement and culture. The boy, with his inexperience and inability to look below the surface of things, is easily led to follow the well-intended but foolish judgment of his parents and commences life by swelling the list of book-keepers without a ledger, doctors without a patient, and lawyers without clients and genteci clerks without employment. The first thing the parent or teacher should do is to study carefully the bo3's aptitudes. Having done this he should be taught that any kind of honest labor is honorable and that what he could do best should be his calling, no matter whether it was to make shoes or carriages, to raiso cattle or to butcher them. Many a boy who might ip time become a good farmer, owning a .farm and home of his own, be comes an indifferent hand-to-mouth salesman in a store at a sal ary that will only barely keep soul and body together and provide no accumulation for sickness or old age. Many a boy who, by learn ing the machinist's trade could some day be at the head of a great manufactory, remains in obscurity and poverty because his parents thought the profession of book keeper would be more genteel. A little study of the advertising columns in a great daily journal, or an inquiry among the leading business men of any thriving town, would cause, a revalation that should serve to deter parents from making semi-dudes of their sons by crowding the already over- ' crowded positions of clerks and book-keepers with them. In the city of New York there at the present time 0,000 book-keepers out of employment, and of the 23,000 who have more or less steady employment in that calling in that city, very few receive over $23 per week, while a far greater number are glad to accept $10 or 13. A business man of the city lately advertised for a clerk at 10 a week and had 700 applications for the place. In view of these facts the parents of boys should urge them to learn trades, to go into the shops or on the farm, any where where honest work is to be done, and to avoid as they would pestilence the semi-genteel call ings, which are so overcrowded that the majority who are depen dent on them have no hope of more than the barest subsistence while they remain in them. Philuilcl jthiit Times. A Terriblo Year. It is generally conceded that "Wiggans was too easily scared. That if he had come manfully to the charge again and insisted with out shadow of turning that the conjunction of the planets threat ened direful disaster to the earth, he would have scored several splendid hits and put up his record as a weather prophet to the very top of the notch. Ho had fire, water, famine, volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, cyclones, and cholera to aid him. There have been from six to twelve terriblo calamities even- month of the year, destroy ing a total of 25,000 lives, which the Java earthquake will probably increase to 100,000. A few of the most prominent will be recalled in enumerating them: The Gorman floods; the burning of the Newhall House iu Milwaukee; the burning of a circus in Poland; the loss of the steamer Cambria; the burial alive of seventy-seven miners at Joilet, Illinois; fire and panic m a New York school house; Hull and Yarmouth (England ) fishing wrecks; avalanches in the Italian Alps; the panic on the Brooklyn bridge; panic among school chil dren at an entertainment in Sun derland, England: burning of a theater in Italy; the capsizing of the Daphno while being launched on the Clyde; the giving way of a pier near Baltimore; the collision on the Itome & AVatertown, New York, railroad; the earthquake at Ischia ; the volcanic eruptions and earthquakes at .lava; the cyclones in half a dozen states from Missis sippi to Minnesota; the railroad catastrophe at Steglitz, Germany, the explosion of the JUvcrdvle's boiler; and scores on scores of less startling but quite as destructive catastrophes, which are actually too numerous to mention. Indeed, the extraordinary number of them diminishes the horror of each one; and leaves only the frightful ag gregate to appall the imagina tion. It was feared that Phoebe Couzins, the St, Louis lawyer and lecturer, had perished in the Ro chester, Minn., cyclone; but she was a little out of the line of the storm. Some of the things wjiich she saw will help people appreci ate the savage intensity of the wind. A farmer's wife, caught in the field, ran for a stake, but her limbs were torn off and the stake driven through iier body; a young woman is so mangled with ashes driven into her body that she can not live, and a boy's spine was so filled with nails that he will die of lockjaw; a cow hud her head blown from the body so that the two horns pierced her bowels. The only safety was iu the cellars. Miss Couzins writes to her friends "But the most heartrending sirht was the big hall, with the house less and homeless and killed and wounded. Near the door of the hall, improvised as a hospital, lay five children, all dreadfully hurt, whose parents had both been killed. The sixth child, the babj never has been found. The sight moved the stoutest-hearted to tears. Over forty were in here- men, women and children in a most pitiable condition. One cunning baby, which reminded me of 's little one, which no one claimed, with one of its eyes put out, lay and gazed with its one eye at every person who passed, with the most intelligent question ing look, as if to sav 'What does all this mean? Can no one find my mamma?' " Polygamy is, according to Col. Godfrey of the government Utah commission, to be squelched by creating a division in the Mormon church. There are, at most, only 15,000 polygamists in the church; but the 120,000 monogamists have winked at polygamy, and henpe the polygamists have ruled. Now that every polygamist is disfran chised, the monogamists see that their only hope of holding office lies in declaring against polygamy and there are as ambitious poli ticians in Utah as anywhere. The commission, Col. Godfrey says, have prepared for recommendation to congress a marriage law pro viding that all marriages shall be solemnized in certaiu public places before witnesses, and that the per sons performing the ceremony, and the witnesses as well, shall make affidavit that they are not polyga mists. The commission will meet again in October next, to investi gate some contested election cases. A remarkable feature of a case in an Indiana court was the youth fulness of a mother present who had at the age of only 13, given birth to healthy twins. Youthful maternity seems to havo been in herited, for this mother was herself born when her mother was 13, sbo in turn having been born when her mother was 13. . In court was the remarkable spectacle of a great-grandmother, grandmother and mother of twins, the great grandmother now be 40 3'ears old, tho grandmother-27, and the mother l-i. 'Hound and 'Round in a Fatal Whirlpool. Minas Bay, Nova Scotia, is an arm of the Bay of Funday. The tide rushes in with great force, forming what is known as "the bore.5 At the equinoxes it some times rises sixty or seventy feet. Parker, Dakin and George Gardi ner, fishermen, were pulling in their nets. Their boats drifted near the-bore, or whirlpool. The men took to their oars and were making headway against the water when Dakin's wrist gave out. The boat drifted nearer to the vortex and capsized. In a moment both men were sucked down to a great depth. They came to the surface, but, as Gardiner was about to advise Dakin what to do to save himself, both men were drawn under again. They came up and were engulfed a third time. Again they came to .the surface. Gardiner spoke to his companion but got no response. Dakin had suffocated while beneath tho water. Gardiner managed to reach the boat, and clung to it till the next morning, when he was rescued by other fishermen. He says that tho weight of the water upon him when he "was drawn down was fairly painful, and that each time he disappeared he thought that his time had come. The current kept Dakin's body close by the drifting boat all night, and Gardiner savs that no matter which way he turned his head, the corpse always appeared in view. JVeic York Sun Absolutely' Pure.
