Subject, "Christ's great promises." A general invita tion is extended to all. The big outside demand for Chi nese help in the fall canneries this season makes John in demand, and he scornfully sniffs at the proffer of odd jobs around town. The Welcome says that a national dramatic college is being formed in Chicago, with John Jack, who was caught with, steelhead salmon at As toria for admission fees. O. O. Cabot, a brother of Sebastian Cabot, the discoverer of North Amer ica, spelled his name backward in or der to find an appellation for an In dian smokeweed tobacco. J. O. Bozorth is agent for the Con tinental Insurance Co., of Hartford, a standard company and one that of fers inducements worthy the atten tion of those contemplating life in surance. Geo.

The board of managers of the state fair have let the contract for pool selling at the next fair to John Burke and Woodson Scoggin, of this city, which, says the Mercury, means that these parties must sell at least $18, 000 worth of pools before they can have a dollar which they may call their own. The Telegram give a list of those who it is thought may get the place made vacant by the resignation of boiler inspector Jas. Lotan. A good many down this way would like to know the probabilities of some one being appointed to fill tho responsible position now held by hull inspector FerguBon. There are fourlodges select knights A. 10. TJ.

The ship is well pro Tided, should she drift into unknown seas; she has enough breadstuff and salmon to keep the crew tn grub for ten years, and oil enough to smooth the stormy waters for many a day. The Telegram Bays that the "hotel committee" of the board of trade are not receiving the responses to their advertisements scattered throughout the east, for some one to come and build a hotel, which they expected. In fact, not a capitalist so far has been heard from; but ene man, who proposes to get his application in early, writes to say that he is ready to remove to Portland and run the hotel as eoou as it is built. A Portland man swallowed a large dose of starch which a suspicious druggist prepared for him in place of the strychnine he asked for. The miserable man swooned and was soon stretched upon his bed cold and stiff. No one but must sympathize with the unhappy wretch's despair when he shortly awoke to find himself still in Portland, and, a3 the item cruelly puts it, "with his wife bending over him." She probably took the starch out of him. People Demand Protertion. PnSenl Jledi- What are they ? As a general thing they are prescriptions having been used with great success by old and well-read Physicians. Thousands of invalids have been unexpectedly cured by the'r use, and they are the wonder and dread of Physicians and Medical Uoiieges m tue U. r., so mucn so, that Physicians graduating at Medi- j cal Colleges are required to discoun tenance Proprietary .Medicines, as through them the country doctor loses his most profitable practice.

The attention of the justice court was taken up yesterday afternoon and evening, and up to nearly eleven o'clock last night, in a case wherein Arndt & Ferchen sued Jos. Hume for commission for sale of tho steamer Gen. Garfield and a steam boiler. The agreement was that Arndt & Ferchen should should get a purchas er for the boat and boiler, which were Hume's property. For making the sale they were to get $250 commis sion. Sam Arndt got a purchaser for the boat, and Hume refused to pay him the commission agreed npon. Accordingly he brought suit, aud the case was on trial yesterday before a jury of three, consisting of P. J. Meaney, Theo. Bracker aud W. W. Wherry. There were several wit nesses examined, and the case was ably argued on both sides aud con siderable legal authority cited. Upon the case being given to the jury they deliberated for a few moments and gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 8250, tho nmouut of his commission for which he sued. "Will 3Iect To-day.

As the St Louis, Chicago & Cincinnati express train on this morning's Baltimore & Ohio road, due here, was approaching the city at a high rate of speed the engineer found that the air brakes would not work properly aud he blew the whistle for the ordinary brakes. He was too late, however, to check the momentum of the train, and it ran upon what is known as the UY," near the depot, while going at a rato of forty miles an hour. The curve was very sharp, and the express car jumped the track and struck the sig nal tower. A general wreck ensued, and all cars except the sleeper weie badly smashed. The only death re ported is that of Hamlin Brosions, the engineer of the train, who was scalded to death. The fireman was also badly scalded, and ten of the passengers seriously injured.

There is little prospect of the Hartford being repaired at a cost of $174,000. The position assumed by secretary Whit ney in connection with the repairs on tho Palos and Monocacy is not d parted from, and, therefore, the Hut t ford will, perhaps, be relegated to "liotten Bow," in view of tho historic interest attached to the old battle ship. The proposition has been made to repair her to the extent of n few thousad dollars and station her at San Francisco as a receiving ship. Many naval officers think that after all this is the most sensible way to dispose of the old vessel. If this is not done, she will probably be con demned instead of repaired for active service, at a cost of $1h,000, as secre tary Whitney will hardly withdraw in this instance from the stand he has taken with regard to the Palo? and Monocacy. inn tortugas. New York, Aug. 17. The Herald says that commander Pullman aud friends advanced the $160,000 which Hayti needed some time ngo to in duce Euglaud to withdraw her threat to seize Tortugas island. Pullman now claims to be the possessor of the island, which would make a valuable naval station, and proposes to offer it to tho United States. He believes that if the United States assumes do minion of the island it will at once give to its material development so great an impetus tnat ne win oe a good deal more than compensated for the cession. He accordingly will offer to pay the United States a very largo sum out of the first proceeds that he expects to derive from the cutting and sale of valuable and rare timber with which the island is cov ered. He also intends to invite by every liberal means immigration from the island and elsewhere. He said last night: "The Haytian govern ment has signed an agreement, or treaty, with me,'giving me full right and authority to sell the Tortugas. A strong prejudice against European powers exists in Hayti, but I antici pate no opposition whatever to a ces sion to tho United States." Hot Cakes.

Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air-passages, but the thous ands of little tubes and cavities lead ing from them. When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. " And what they do, they can not do well. Call it cold, cough, cronp, pneu monia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of.
