'.Smart women without character, men without self respect and a govern merit that is too philosophical, effete, pre-occupied or exhausted to sec that Kngland's greatness is slipping away from her, are the allies of this infamous confederacy." j ioin thing of this sort the United Mates experienced during the lobby. Ink days after the civil war, says the Itevlew. Adventurers and advent uresses gathered at Washington, and haincful influences were exerted to pus'i private claims through congress, secure appointment to post tradeships at army posts, and in various ways enrich in lividuaU at the expense of the general government. There are, of courc, varying de grees of social demoralization; but t best, "society," in the narrow meaning of tho word, inteiferes with the attainment of true success.

Comparative'y few public cilices were held by the deceased Indianan, and the actual duration of his public service was not long. His only im portant national posts were repre sentative in congress and sectetary of the navy, tbe last of which offices be held in the cabinet of President Hayes. IS'o other man of his day, however, declined so many Impor tant posts, administrative and diplo matic, tendered by presidents as he did. Among the presidents who offered him otllces which he did not accept were Taylor, Lincoln, Grant and Harrison. As a Whig at the outset in his active life and as a He- publican ever since tbc Republican phrty wag founded, he wrote more platforms of his own stale and as sisted in writing more national plat forms than any other American who ever lived, lie personally saw every president of the United States except Washington and the first Adams, and was on tcims of intimacy with man)' of them. In every presidential can vas from tbat of 1132, when he took the stump for Clay, he made speches, even In that of IHOC, in which year he was a delegate to the St. Louis convention. A great djal of history has been made in the United Slates since I'icbard AV. Thompson first entered national slation sixty years ago, and he assisted In rxaking a considerable part of it.

A Freight Train Wrecked. Yesterday morning at 3:30 a west bound freight was wrecked at Grand avenue bridge in Portland, smashing seven flatcars and knocking a bent from under the bridge. When about a mile from where the bridge erosces tbe inilch over the bridge the train broke in two, and the engineer slowed down. - Just hack of the break in the train was a "dead" engine, which was being hinlcd into town for repairs. Its weight gave the rear portion of the train great mo mentum, especially as it was on a down grade. In soon caught np with the for ward section, and the two came together ith a craeh, at the Grand-avenue bridge. The cars reared up in the air and took a big "bite" out of the bridge and then pitched over into the gulch in indescribable confiuion. A couple of hobos who were on the train had rattier a thrilling experience, and ft seems a miracle that they were not badly Injured or killed. One was riding the rods on one of the flatcars which received the full force of the shock, and the other was taking it easy in a boxcar. Rt. Valentin' Ijr. St. Valentine's dar, which occurs on February 14th of each year, has been ob served by civilized folk for many years. The day wis originally observed in com ! memoralion of St. ValentiDe, a bishop who was decapitated in A. D. 270, dur ing the Clandian persecution at Home, Some, however, trace the custom to tbe Koman Lapercolla (Feb. 15ih), h?n practices similar to the modern custom were observed. There is a legend which says that on this day birds soled their mates. Modern writers for valentines, though they often have little regard for mankind, have still less repet for poetic license.

Adcipb Jackson evidently has a con ception of tbe character of the little rtiinitter which is hardiy understood by l.ii aadience. The Oregon ian spoke of him as appearing "dazed." And such is the impression given ; more of cte who is ouuer the bypnotic iufioeDce of the "littie witch" as he terois her. As toch he could not have done better; and no doubt bis is the correet interpre tation, for looking at it in another light he lacks enthusiasm acd it woclJ stem was wanting in the Scotch heartiness. One of the most taking tilings in the p!ay was the part which the fonr eiders carried out so perfectly. Their facial expressions, poses and niake-ap were faultless and it is not an unueoal thing to meet their cocnterpart in every day life. They afforded much amnsemtnt. "Bob Daw" as the faithful friend of his minieter and one who would give his life lor him was a veritable Scotch man in tbe whole-souled character he represented. It has been some lime since such an alt-round good company has visited The Dalles and our people are very grateful to Mr. Clarke for the pleasure afforded tbew. Tiie Dalles would soon gain a reputation a a theater-going commun ity were e to have many such plays. SMALL-POX IN TOWN. Victim Cams From Acroii lha River A Charge on Ibe Cltj. A man by the name of McDonald, who has been working for the Central Con struction and Navigation Co., came in town this morning and went into one of our public buildings in qnestof a doctor. Me happen d to meet one in the hallway and was asked what seemed to be the matter with him. Replying that he did not know, he took off his bat and the doctor immediately recognized that the man had small-pox. McDonald was ad vised to take a walk to tbe corner of Third and Washington streets until tbe authorities could be notified. A couple ol conncilmen happened to be paeeing and they in conjunction with the City marshal decided to take the man im mediately to the pest bouse which is located far back in the pines. It was rather amusing to see Marthal Hughe on one side of the street and the afflicted r.ian on the other wending their way to the place of isolation. McDonaid is not very bad at present but a nurse will have to be secured to take rare of him within a few days. It seems rather nervy of the fellow to march in on the population in the man ner he did as he may be the means of spreading the disease. The city officials think also that they are getting the worst of it but they agree where succor is needed it must be given. McDonald stated that more cares would likely break out in the same camp he came from, which is located only a few miles up the river on the Washington side. It would probably be well for those in authority to investigate and should there be any danger, a quarantine should be placed against any Irom the camp viaitinj The Dalles. j He Never Came Back. Aman giving the name of Lewis Boggs, who has been about town for a number of days secured a saddle horse at L. A. Porter's livery stable last Saturday say- ing ne wantel to go to W asco. Ho started but only gotas far as Biggs where he arranged to lease twelve head ol horses to a rancher, and hired the man to ride the saddle-horse to The Dalles, claiming that his wife bad telegraphed him that she was very sick, so ba wrs anxious to return and would come by train. Before leaving, however, he told the rancher he had left a bugzy team aith Geo. Miller and for him to get it and re turn to Biggs where he, Hoggs, would again meet him. The rancher arrived in this city last evening and Immediate ly started out to find Mr. Miller, who had no knowledge of the transaction of I yVrW'Wjf J tj for Infants and Children CASTOR i ' 1 1 fl ANefjcJabkPreparalioa&rAs- similatinsKFowanciKetuja- 3D Foinote3Di$estionrberfiir ii ness and festXonlains neither N ; Ormimorphrne norfineraL 111 In Seal-Ax-Smmtt I Jj A perfect Remedy for Constipa tion, sour sionyacn.uiarrnoca AVorms Convulsions .fcverish ness and Los s O F SLEEP.

The authorities learned of the man beini in town so bunted, htm up and cured tli3 horee fur Mr. Porter, who had btcowe some what alarmed over the absence cf his property. Ths sequel ol the atfur is that Bogg hae no wife or team here and had no intention of returning by train. He is surely a peculiar man, for bad he desired he could have dispo.-ed cf li e horse and outfit, pocketed the money and gone East on the railroad. We learn from the eheriff that only last year Boggs was releiseJ from the penitentiary where he had been serving a two-year sentence for stealing a team from Levi Claike, at Rufur, and couiin to The Dalles and disposing of it. Tbe man surely is slightly unbalanced or he would never have visited the same vi.'irnty and commit a similar crime. He has not been located as yet, but tt e authorities are keeping a sharp look out for tbe fellow and it ij thought he will be secured before long. The claim of other ough medicines to be as good as Chamberlain' are ttfectu ally set at rest in the following testi monial of Mr. 1. D. Glass, an employe of Bartlett & Dennis Co., Gardiner, Me. He says: "I had kept adding to a cold and cough in the winter of 1397, trying every cough medicine 1 heard of without permanent help, until one day I was in the drug store of Mr. Houiehnn and be advised me to try Chamberlaiu's Cough Remedy and offered to pay back mv money if I was not cured. My lungs and bronchial tubes were very sore at this time, but I was completely cured by this remedy, and have since always tnrned to it when I got a old, and soon find relief. I also recommend it to my friends and arn glad to say it is the Lest of all cough medicines." For sale by Blakeley & Houghton. A -Convincing Autwrr. "I hobbled into Mr. Blackmon'a drug store one evening," says Wetley Nelson, of Hamilton, Ga., "and he asked me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheu matism with which I had suffered for a long time. I told him I had no faith in any medicine as they all failed. He said: 'Well if Chamberlain's Pain Balm does not help you, you need not pay for it.' I took a battle of it home and used It according to directions and in cne week I was cured, and have not since been troubled with rheumatism." Sold by Blakeley A Houghton. To right the Hoera.
