The steamship Senator arrived down from Portland late last night, and went to sea this morning at 2 o'clock, with a bier list of passengers and her hold full of merchandise.

R. & N. piers here for 140 tons of fertilizer, shipped hence by Mr. De Force. She will then proceed directly to sea. The steamer Nahcotta went on her old run at 10:4S o'clock yesterday morning, headed out for lllwaco in all her new glory. She works like a charm, and is all ready for the sum mer business, which will materialize pretty quickly if this weather holds out The steamer Wenona, now the pro-, perty of the Gray's River Transporta tion Company, with Captain Hull, in command, will begin her new sche dule on Monday next, making a tidal run each day except Sunday, from the East slip at the Callender docks.

Bowden, of Little Rock, Ark., haa used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in his family for many years, and Is seldom without It In the house. He says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy haa proved a great relief to our boys In their throat and lung troubles. A few doses of It will ward off a threatened attack of croup, and a bad cold Is quickly cured by its use. I take pleasure in recommending it." The prompt cures of colds and croups effected by this preparation, the fact that it can always be de pended upon, is pleasant to take and contains no opium, chloroform or other objectionable drug, has made it a favorite with the parents of young children. When you have a cough or cold, try it and see for yourself what an excellent medicine it is. Price, 25 cents. Large sbse, 50 cents. City are due in these water on a racing schedule. The Rose City left San Francisco yesterday at 11 o'clock a. m. and the Roanoke at 1 p m., and with the latter's call at Eureka, she will be just that miich. ahead of the Rose City plus her two hours delay at the Bay City, if they come in simultaneously, with a variance either way' according to the lead into this port The last time they entered here both docked to the minute. The steamer Alliance is due back from Portland on her way to Coos Bay, at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, and will leave out immediately. The steamer Northland is due to arrive here from the Bay City some time today. As is the steamer Han alei, of the same line. The schooner Marconi, of the Simp son fleet at Knappton, opposite this city, is now 112 days out from Sidney, with coal for G. W. McNear, of Port land. They are quoting 25 per cent re-insurance on her at this time, and there is serious uneasiness on the score of her long delay. Frank Gait her of Knappton shipped on her when she left here for Australia, and this, coupled with the fact that Captain Wilson, and a number of his crew are of this section, deepens the interest in her whereabouts. Of course hope has not been abandoned and there is yet plenty of chance for her safe arrival, but she is way overdue and all hands will feel easier when she is reported on the hither side of the Columbia bar. There has been no re-insurance quoted, as yet, on the revenue cutter McCullough, but she is long overdue at this port. When last heard from she was to leave the bay of San Francisco, direct for the port of As toria, her station, but no word, nor sign, has been vouchsafed the people here of this elusive and much-wanted vessel, and an accounting is due. The Armeria went out to the light ship, No. 50, yesterday, with one of the latter's whale boats, which was delivered and the -flag-tender returned to port without delay. The steamer Lurline came down promptly on time last evening,' and among other items of cargo for, this port, delivered 25 head of beeves for Christianson & Company.

The other' day a rascal was found to have made a smalt fortune by chopping up patmleuf fans and sell ing the stuff at a dollar t packet, containing a pinch or two of the prec ious dust which was said to be the seed of a rare exotic flower. So writes W. G. Fitt-Gerald in the Tech nical World Magazine for March. He advertised widely, and number ed professional florists among his victims. True, he disclaimed respon sibility for the germinating power of hi, "seed," but this is a. common warning even on the wares of reput able seedsmen, so that the buyers planted, watched, and watered with pathetic zeal until at length an angry lady laid the swindler by the heels. Now, farm and flowers seed of the highest quality is costly stuff. So minutely is that of the cake olaria that the actual cost of producing the finest strain exceeds ten times the wcjght of the seed in purest gold. Mignomtte seed, too, is by no means cheap, yet that of the begonia is at least sixty times dearer; and a libercl allowance for a two dollar packet is measured in a tiny spoon with an outside diameter of three-sixteenths of an inch. And yet in that .small spoonful there will be enough seed to produce more than a hundred stately begonia plants I The writer goes on to describe the careful testing seeds undergo at the hands of the experts in the reliable seed house, and of government in spectors, and an interesting series of photographs illustrates the text. The editor of the Memphis, Tenn,. "Times", writes: "In my opinion Foley's Honey and Tar is the best remedy for coughs, colds and lung trouble, and to my own personal knowledge Foley's Honey and Tar has accomplished many permanent cures that have been little short of marvelous."
