There is a good deal of phi losophy
that might be applied with advantage
to tho worries of life by most all of
us, in tho following remark, from the
lips of a bright little five-year-old
girl, whose father was getting in
readiness for a three-months' trip.
Alice, her older sister, was feeling
badly over her father's prospective
long absence, and Pearl, seeing her
cry, approaohed her father, saying,
"What day is to-day, papa?' "Why,
Friday, my dear. Why do you ask?"
"Then to-morrow is Saturday, and
tho nest day Sunday, and then comes
Monday, and yon nro going away on
Monday, papa?" Yes, my little dar
ling, I am sorry to say I am." "Well,
then, papa, I ain't going to cry till
Monday."
The local inspector at Sau Fran
cisco suspended the license of Capt.
Wallace, commanding the steamer
City of Chester, because of his al
leged responsibility for the recent
collision with the steamer Oceanic.
Tho supervising inspector of the Cal
ifornia district reversed the action
of the local inspectors, on tho ground
that Capt. Wallace had not been fur
nished, prior to the investigation,
with a copy of the charges on which
tho suspension of his license was
based. The question as to the legal
necessity of such a step in cases of
investigation by inspectors was re
fered to the solicitor of the treasury,
and that officer has given an opinion
that it is not necessary. The deci
sion of the local inspectors wi 1 there
fore stand.
The supreme court, through a deci
sion of chief justice Fuller, has ren
dered an opinion of unusual interest
to holders cf life insurance policies.
Thomas Ij. Hume, of tho district of
Columbia, died in 1881, totally in
solvent, but leaving 35,000 in life
insurance policies, that were, by their
terms, payable either to the widow
or children of tho deceased. The ad
ministrators and creditors sought to
force application of the proceeds of
the policies to the payment of the
debts due creditors, on the ground
that the premiums paid by Hume
were by a fraudulent transfer of the
insolvent estate. The supreme court
holds that tho beneficiaries are en
titled to the proceeds of all (the poli
cies, without any reduction on ac
count of premiums paid, holding that a
husband and father has a full right
to insure his life in the interest of his
wifo and children, and whero such
policies are effected in tho name of
the beneficiaries, they are no part of
tho estate of the deceased insolvent,
and therefore cannot bo regarded as
a fraudulent assignment of any part
of the estate when so elected.
A queer experience was that of a
gentleman, ho .shall nameless be,
from the country, who came into
town a few days ago. He had accum
ulated quite a littlo sum of money by
bard toil and saving, and felt that his
season of abstinence was an excuse
for a little indulgence. So he rented
a room and prepared to do the town.
Ho first got him a watch and chain,
Saturday evening, and then proceeded
to inspect ihc various art galleries in
the city, and retnrned to his room at a
late hour. But this was just a primer
for him, he had had a little taste of
fun, and he was bound to have more.
However, he had presence of mind
enough on Sunday evening to leave
his watch and mo3t of his money with
a prominent business man, and took
only enough money along to pay his
traveling expenses. Where he went
or what he did, is useless to tell.
But some time in the night a young
fellow was kind enough to take him
back to his room where he stayed
with him till consciousness returned,
some time in tho morning. He woke
up with a feeling of apprehension
and felt under his pillow for his
money, etc. It was not there; he was
robbed! there was no one there but
tho. young fellow who had been
nursing him. With a wild and mur
derous eye he accused him of the
theft. One look was enough for
the object of suspicion; ho turned and
loped down stairs just in time to
escape a bullet from a pistol at hand
on the table. Our friend concluded
hia best plan was to see the chief of
police. Barry found tho man that
was shot at and also that he was in
nocent of any theft, and that tho
money and the watch must have been
left with somebody, but our friend
conldn't tell, nor could he tell for
certain who ha was himself. It was
a hard case and little clue, but Barry
traced tho business up nnd fouud
where he had left his watch and
money and pocket book, in which his
name was written. When he Baw his
own name whpre he had written it
himself, ho was one of tho ticklcdest
men you ever mw. When ho goes on
another voyage he will wear a tag bo
he can identify himself without the
aid of the duet of police.

A Warn ins:.
The modes of death's approach are
various, nnd statistics show conclu
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the 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 tho
luggs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go withont
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 a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrnp. It will give you immediate
relief.
Towage Service Criticized.
Incoming shipmasters at tho river's
mouth are disposed to criticise the
towage service for tho practice of giv
ing outgoing vessels the preference
over those which are waiting to come
in. One of them stated to a reporter
yesterday tnat ne was kept waiting
ou his arrival horo for two or three
days, while no less than four ships
were taken out to sea. Meanwhile a
strong landward wind was blowing
nnd the ship in imminent danger of
going ashore, though standing at a
proper distance out. "In other
ports," continued the gentleman, -,the
opposite rule is observed, and a ship
standing outside tho harbor is
brought in at once, in preference to
those which are safely nt anchor in
the harbor. This practice should be
instituted here." Oregonian, SO.

If I had known of tho Cutictjka Reme
dies twenty-eight years ago it would haTO
saved me 1200 00 (two hundred dollars) and
an Immerse amount of suffering. My disease
(Psoriasis) commenced on my head in a spot
not larger than a cent. It spread rapidly all
over my body and got under my nails. The
scales would drop off of me all the time, and
my sufferings were endless, and without re
lief. One tBousnnd dollars would not tempt
me to have this diso.ise over again. lama
poor man,butl feel rich to bo relieved of
what some of the doctors said was leprosy,
some ring-worm, psoriasis, etc I took ...
and Sarsaparillas over ono year and a
half, but no cure, I went to two or threo
doctors and no-euro, .1 cannot praise the
CuticUHA KHIEDIE3 too much, They have
made my skin ss clear-aad free from scales,
as a baby's. All I used of them was throe
boxes of CutiCUEA, and three bottles of Ou
TicUEAKESOl.VKNi,and two cakes of Cu
TICOnA Soap, If yen had "been here and
said you would have cured me for $200,00 you
would have' had the money, 1 looked like
the picture in your book of Psoriasis (picture
number two, "dow to Cure Skin Diseases"),
but now I am as clear as any person ever
was. Through force of habit 1 rub mv hands
oyer my arms and legs once in a while, but
to no purpose, I am' all well, I icratched
twenty-eight years, and it got to be a kind of
second nature to me, I thank you a thou
