Three counties have made no pay ments of state taxes for 1887. Mult nomah county owes the state S104.000, and the sheriff has collected nearly S300,000. Wallowa county has some sort ot an excuse, as its sheriff died a month or so since. Umatilla county has made no move, nor does any one know what is the reason of tho do lay. A Portland insurance man em ployed a servant girl who succeeded for a week in doing her work to the perfect satisfaction ot all concerned, and when the new girl aBked her mis tress at breakfast where she kept the sugar, the man of tho house was so delighted with the lack of iuquisitive ness in the new girl that he immedi ately raised her wages.

It was her first tnp and being an hour or so ahead of her owner who was following with the mail, was not missed until it was too late. The following acconnt of the times at San Diego is taken from an ex change: "Eight restaurants closed in one day. Sixteen clerks discharged from one dry-goods house on the same day. Sixteen hundred empty rooms in the lodging-houses. Rates at Coronado Beach Hotel reduced to S2 per day, and scarce at that. Price of shaving 25 cents to 10 cents: coffe from 10 cents to 5 cents.

At n meeting last Thursday even ing of the Portland volunteer fire men's association, the chair was in structed to appoint a finance commit tee of three to act in conjunction with alike committee from the exempt firemen's association and secure funds to be nsed in the tournament. The secretary was instructed to corre spond with the secretary of exompt firemen in order that hearty co-operation may be secured.

A VALUABLE RELIC. Mrs. W. G. Ross, of this city, has a most interesting and valuable relic of colonial times in the shape of a copy of the Boston Gazette and Countru Journal, of date Monday, March 12th, 1770. Though the fragilo sheet of paper is 118 years old it is in a good state ot preservation. Singular that a leaf of paper should survive all the vicissitudes of over a oentury; it is n. sort of satire on human life that this light paper leaf, the sport of every passing breeze, should bo in exist ence, when human life of that period and all that surrounded aud supplied it have crumbled into indistinguish able dust Though published more than six years previous to the Declaration of Independence, every line of this dim old paper breathes the spirit of Amer ican liberty. It denounces English imposition and tyranm, publishes strong resolutions regarding the re fusal of the inhabitants of Boston to consume goods of English importa tion, and quaintly calls in question the English governmental policy of that day. It publishes a graphic; de scription of the Boston massacre of March 5th, 1770, one week boforo the issue ot the paper, and gives a rude wood cut of four coffins, with the vic tims ot the British soldiery's murder ous guns lying therein. There are some funny advertise ments in this old paper that are in strango contrast with the earnest se riousness of its reading articles and news. For fifty years this time-stained pa per was preserved in Bosten: then was taken as a valuable memento to Kentucky, and from there has. in the vicissitudes of life, strayed out to this far-off northwestern outpost of the nation a part of a wide-extending American Union that transcends in grandeur the wildest dreams of the men who walked the earth and lived their little hour and published the paper that comes fluttering into this office four generations after its ap pearance in the dim and shadowy past.

New York, April 20. Funeral serv ices were held this morning in Trini ty chapel, over the remains of Boscoe Conkling. The hour fixed for the fu neral service was ten o'clock. Long before that hour people began to gather in Twenty-fourth street Shortly after nine o'clock a plain hearse and eleven carriages drove up to the door. From the carriages de scended the pall bearers and friends, and Conkling's family, who entered the hou80 and proceeded to the room in which the body lay. On the coffin rested a large bunch of white roses, lilies and immortelles. Below them there was a large green wreath knot ted with purple ribbons. At 0:53 o'clock the coffin was lifted from the stands and borne from the room to the waiting hearse by the undertak er's assistants. Waiting on the other side were the pall bearers. They were judge Shipman, Mayor Abram S. Hewitt, S. L. M. Barlow, Clarence A. Seward, Manton Marble, Senator John P. Jones, Senator Don Cameron, Judge Wm. A. Wallace, Walker Church, and Isaac H. Bailey. They entered three carriages preceding the hearse, and the carriages and hearse slowly moved down the street, while the other carriages slowly drew up, one by one, in front of the house. In them entered Mrs. Conkling, sup ported by the arm ot Col. Fred A. Conkling, his daughter, Mrs. Oak man, and her husband, Walter G. Oakman, Col. Fred D. Grant, and his mother, Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs. Jesse Grant and Mrs. U. S. Grant, Jr., and their husbands and a few other inti mate friends. In the church, which was crowded, the coffin with its simple black cover ing was placed on a bier in front of the altar. Upon it were placed wreaths of immortelles and lilies to gether with bunches of white and purple lilies. No sermon was preached. The en tire assemblage arose after prayer and joined in singing "Rock of Ages." This being finished, tho choir boj-3 walked slowly down the aisle to tho muBic of Felton's chant, followed by the pall bearers and mourners. The hearse was followed by carriages bearing the relatives, and driven di rectly to the grand central depot whero a special train was taken for Utica, at which place the final sep ulture will take place to-morrow.

Five persons were injured in an explosion in St. Helena colliery at Workington last evening. They have since died. A Warning. The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclu sively that more persons die from dis eases of tho Throat and Lungs than any other. It is probable that every one. without exception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to con tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing Consumption and to tho head, causing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time causo death. At the onset you must aot with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go without your attention is dangerous and may lose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob tain n bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. It will giveyou immediate- relief Kal Estate Transfer. W. E.

Every Night I Scratched Until tlie Skin -was Haw. Body Covered Tvltli Scales like Spots of Mortar. Cured by the Cnticnra .Remedies. I am going to tell you of the extraordinary change 3 our Conceal Kkuedirs performed on me. Abont the 1st of April last I noticed some red pimples like coming oct all over my body, bat thought nothing of it until some time later on, when it becan to look liko spots of mortar spotted on, and which came off in layers, accompanied with itching. I would scratch every night until I was raw, then the next night the scales, being formed mean while, woro scratched off again. In Tain did I consult all the doctors in the country, but without aid. After giving up all hopes of re covery, I happened to see an advertisement in the newspaper about your Cuticuba Kkh EWis, and purchased them from my druggist, and obtained almost immediato relict 1 be gan to notice that the scaly eruptions gradu ally dropped off and disappeared one by one. and have been fully caret). I had the disease thirteen months before I began taking the Cuticura Keuediks, and in four or five weeks was entirely cured. My disease was eczema and psoriasis. I recommended the Ccticuba Kemedies to all in my vicinity, and I know of a great many who have taken them, and thank me for the knowledseof thnm Agniwiai. ly mothers who have babes with scaly erup tions on their heads and bodies. I cannot ex press in words the thanks to you for what the Cuticuba Remedies have been to me. My body was covorod with scales, and I was an awful spectacle- to behold.
