If that schooner Parallel had only been wrecked at the Columbia gate instead -of the Golden Gate, what a delight it would have been to the Taboma Ledger. The champion lie would have had a truthful parallel. They are trying to disbar a Port land attorney for not returning bor rowed books. If every non returner of borrowed books was punished some way the list of the unpunished would be bright and small by con trast. The Taooma Telegraph is dead.

There is one amendment on the way there now, and "goodness only knows how many more will get there before the session closes. Fortunately the legislature is limited to forty days and forty nights. On returning from public office, Treasurer Hirsch turned over to Mr. Webb, his successor, the large sum of $382,483.42 in the general fuud. Is not this Jargo.sum of money, asks the Mercury, in itself a sufficient argu ment in favor of a lower rate of state taxation. In the four years that this sum has been accumulating, the state has built a costly insane asylum and expended other large sums of money in public improvements; and yet the treasery is full of money and the mot to is "rake her!" . Thus soliloquizes the Welceme: What fools these mortals be!

Trov, New York, Jan. 17. Last night a police officer was told by a restaurant keeper that he and his family had been stupefied from tho effects, as he predicted, of gas which entered his apartments from the gas oompany building near by. The gas was shut off and an examination of the houses of the neighborhood made. In one room of the tenement house three persons, Wm. Gilfilian, Ida Bennett and Caroline Bennett were found dead, sitting about the room, as they had been conversing when the gas overcame them. The bodies were taken to the undertakers room and the coroner notified. Oth er families in the neighborhood were aroused and ordered by the police to leave their houses. A leak in the pipes which run through the district was probably the cause of the acci dent, the gas being odorless. WASHINGTON NOTE?. Washington. Jan. 17. The condi tion of Congressman S. S.

The schooner Parallel, which sailed for Astoria Thursday, was last night ob served by John Hyslop, keeper of tho sighting station at Point Lobos, drifting apparently abandoned with all sails set and'lights burning. She drifted into a cove five hundred yards above the Cliff House and struck the rocks under a heavy surf. The life saving servico was summoned, but found no one on the vessel. They built a boufireand remained in watch in case the wrecked crew should come ashore later. About 1230 there was a terrific explosion which scat tered fragments of the vessel for half a mile about, wrecking the nearest buildings and breaking every pane of glass for a thousand yards. The northern end and balconies of the Cliff House were wrecked, and the doors and windows were blown in and the building badly injured every way. The Cliff House cottage was demol ished and the inmates cut and bruised. Adolph Sutro's fiuo conservatory, on the heights above the cove, was de stroyed, and all the glass in his resi dence was broken. The sighting station was badly in jured by pieces of debris, which also damaged buildings nearly half a mile distant. John Wilson and Horace Smith, of tho life saving crew, who were standing on a bluff 250 yards away, were picked up bodily and flung against the cliff, which was shaken down, and they rolled with it to the beach badly injured. The I033 to tho buildings is near forty thousand dol lars. The vessel was loaded with mer chandise and had 1,600 boxes giant powder No. 2 on board. The explo sion shook the oity like a sharp earthquake. Very few knew of the explosion until this morning, then crowds flocked to the scene and the roads were taxed to their utmost ca pacity. The explosion was felt a3 far as San Jose. The captain and crew of the wrecked schooner oame to the city to-day from Point Bonita lighthouse, where they landed last night. Their story is that they started Thursday morning, and after the tug left them oft" Black Point they anchored on ao count of the fog. After one attempt to get out they stayed until Saturday afternoon, and then started out from the heads, but became becalmed a mile off the Cliff house and drifted. When they saw a wreok inevitable they hastily abandoned the vessel, knowing the dangerous nature of the cargo, leaving their clothes and ev erything but what they had on. They consisted of Captain Miller, tho mate, steward and four sailors. The Oregon Rar Pilots. The pilots of the pilot schooner Goc. Moody have issued a. statement for the twelve months ending October 28th, 1886, being the first year's work since the schooner went iuto service. In that time she pileted: in twenty eight vessels, the 'pilotage on which was $2,980, of-which $367.25 went to the state. They piloted out thirteen vessels, the pilotage on which was Sl.134.50, of which $238 went to the state. The yearly expenses of the schooner are given as follews: Insurance for one year Maintenance of a crew one year Provisions of crew for the year. Repairs and other expenses. . . $ 935 1,100 960 290 Total $3,285 The total receipts for cbeyear were $4,114; the state received $605.25. Whew Mrs. Grandiose Had the Rest of It. "My dear, look down below," said Grandiose, as he stood on tho bridge, with his wife, and gazed at a panting tug hauling a long line of barges: "such is life the tug is like a man, working and toiling, while the barges, like women are "I know.' interrupt ed Mrs. G., acridly, "the tug does all I the blowing, and the barges bear all tne oilmen.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, 'no doubthas largely benefited the con sumers, as well as relieving the bur den of home manufacturers. Especial ly is this the case with Green's August Flower and Boscliee's Ger man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been ndded to increase the size of the bot tles containing these remedies, there by giving one-fifth more medicine in tho 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of in creased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by tho sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries. Samplo bottles for 10 oents remain the same size, Had to Kent Her "Way Down. The steamer Mischief arrived from Astoria on Thursday.
