Some Quick Passages.

The American ship Henry B. Hyd.
arrived at New York yesterday, eighty
eight day from the Golden Gate. A
very good passage, though not to be
compared with some made by Ameri
can clippers in the early 'fifties. The
year 1853 was notable for quick east
ward trips. The Trade Wind made il
in seventy-five days aud the Contest
in seventy-nine. In 1857 the Flying
DutchmGia got inside of Sandy Hook
in eighty days. but was wrecked be.
fore completing the voyage. In 1870
the Young America scored in eighty
days and twenty hours. From New
York to San Francisco the passage OF
the Flying Cloud in 1851, stands un.
rivaled-eighty-nine days. The
S1OordfSh came near beating it in
1852, getting inside the Farallones in
eighty-seven days, but the weather
prevented making, port. The Flying
Cloud added only nineteen hours in
1854 to her performance of three years
before. The quicker time on eastward
trips is due to the strong westerly
winds which prevail in the Sonth
ocean. Nowadays steam is the chiei
dependence for speed, and the day oil
the extreme clipper is past. Modern
sailing ships are large carriers, while
obtaining a good deal of the clipper
speed, as shown by the quick pass.

In The Police Court.

In the police court yesterday, L.
Melen, L. Mitchell and l.. Brown
forfeited $40 apiece for vagrancy;
Clarence Young forfeited $40 on q
similar charge.
Capt. Phil. Johnson plead guilty to
charge of interfering with the pound
master, and was fined S..
In Capt. Johnson's case there are
extenuating circumstances. James
Gardiner had rounded up a band of
fourteen cows that he was going to
impound under the recently passed
ordinance. and Capt. Johnson's COW
being among them, he drove it home
He stated that having never seen
the ordinance he didn't know its pro-
visions, and what he did was in want
of knowing what it required.
Judge Jewett, taking this into con
sideration, placed the fine low, but
stated that any further interference
with the pound-master in the per
formance of his duties would, upor
conviction, be more severely deal'
with.
1t might be good idea to publish
the ordinance and thus give people
a chance to know what they have tc
comply with.

The PRESS speaks well of Mcintyre
& Heath's minstrels every where they
have appeared. Talking of the per-
formance in Denver, the Republican
says: "The walls, the passage ways,
the windows. were lined and filled
with people standing. In the gallery
the crush was quite as great. Peo-
pie were packed there thick as sar-
dimes in box. AS to the perform
ance it was the finest minstrel one we
have ever seen. There was nothing
commonplace about it. The whole
programme was rendered with spar
kle of humor, a brilliancy of repartee
and a rollicking fun, which we have
not as yet seen equaled by any other
minstrel troupe The most chronic
dyspeptic, if yet possessed of suffi-
cient strength to laugh, would be
cured by single attendance at such
a care-killing exhibition of brilliant
fun as that of last night" Reserved

Chief Of police Parrish of Portland,
and chief of police Barry of this city,
are having sort of a game of foot
ball at present, the ball being the vags
that infest all rivers and coast towns.
The Portland man fires them down
this way and Barry fires them back
again. He has persuading way about
him, and those who don't accept a
polite invitation to absquatulate, have
subseqent reason to regret their re-
fusal. 1t helps to make business lively
for the river boats, some of the do
nothing brigade spending some. of
their wealth in riding up and down
between Portland and this city.

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
siyely that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t 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 slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs 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 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, OBJ
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give you immediate
relief.

The Pacific Pine Lumber company,
OF San Francisco, has reduced its
prices for lumber an average of $3.50
per thousand feet, commencing to-
day. The reduction covers all
lines of pine, fir and spruce lumber
and timber, and is followed also by a
similar reduction in redwood. The
reasons given are that the demand
from southern California is on the
decrease; also that the price of logs
at the mill has come down, and the
necessity for fewer vessels has re-
duced charters.

PORTLAND, July 81, 1888.

PORTLAND, July 81, 1888.
To the Editor ofThe Oregonian:
In the Sunday issue Of the Oregon
ian read an extract from the letter
Of manager Holcomb, of the o. r. &
N. Co., to the "businesss men of Wes-
ton" in which he declares that having
purchased two steam tugs, etc, they
proposed to see to it that wheat goes
as cheaply to the ocean via the Co.
lumbia as by Puget sound.
Inquiring among the ship brokers
this morning I find that ships are yet
open for charter at 2s. 3D., per ton
cheaper from Tacoma than from Port
land. The reason given for it is
that the charges are greater against

that ship owners have been apprised
Of the proposition stated by manager
Holcomb, and not before.
