The very opposite ness of their stand-point gives a pi quant interest to the impressions they form of our national character istics. Here is a recent utterence of the" kind which is attributed to the Pekih Gazette. Speaking of the Americans, a writer in that journal is quoted as saying: uIt is impossi ble to understand these barbarous people. One .thing is certain: If they do a thing they do it with all their might. Thirty years ago they had a civil war. The whole country was turned into military camps and' battlements, and everybody, even to the women folk, were en gaged in the war in one way or an other, and one army numbered 2, 000,000 men. And now there are young men, old enough to vote, who have never seen a company of &oldiers in their life. In fact, these people seem to think that another war will, never break out, especial ly in their part of the world. A person1 can travel clear across the American continent without seeing a soldier, and follow the main lines of travel, too. In fact, at the pre sent time there is only about one soldier for every 2,000 persons, while Russia has one soldier to every 90." BUST AT WORK. President "Warner Miller of the Nicaragua Canal company has been very busy since his arrival here. In some cases he has united pleasure with business. He has set about to get at least $1,000,000 Irom California so he tells his friends and he hopes nearly twice that sum before he leaves the ooast. If Oregon will not sub scribe $500,000 it will not be Mr. Miller's fault, for he intends to go there and work and talk and ex plain as earnestly as he has done and is doing here. It is current report that two California many times millionaires have already become interested after conferen ces with Mr. Miller, and that the latter gentleman is consequently very much . encouraged. S. F. Bulletin. Why should people who own land be favored by the government and those -who do not own any be left out in the cold? There are 11,000, 000' working people in this coun try;, and in their bodies there is the possibility and potency of many, hundreds of millions of dol lars' worth of labor. Why not issue money on this stored-up labor, as well as on stored products of labor? If the government goes into the business of loaning money in this way, it must treat all alike; and some way will have to be devised for loaning money to everybody. This is the logical outcome of the sub-treasury scheme. .- The Lousiana Lottery Co. now guarantees the farmers of the Pelican- state that if they will vote for the company's state charter at the coming election the company will loan them money at one per cent, per annum. This is a soft snap for the Lousiana farmers, who will doubtless avail themselves of the offer: They can get money there foe. one per cent, and, if so disposed,-cart lend it elsewhere for eight, nine and ten. It is probable that the ranks of Lousiana farmers will be . rapidly increased should the proposition receive an majority vote. THE NEW SUBSIDY LA W. The passage of the mail steam ship subsidy bill by the last con gress has 6 tart 3d men engaged in ocean shipping into ac.tivity. ' The New Orleans chamber of com merce is vigorously pushing the project of a new steamship line between that city and Central America. In New York, the mer chants and manufacturers are making arrangements for the ex tension of trade with Latin Ameri ca which will come with a quicker communication, consequent upon direct steamship lines from that city to South America and West India ports. The great Pacilic Mail Steamship Co. has notified the postoffice department of its in tention to greatly improve its mail service, by enlarging its fleet and making quicker time. This means two or three more fine steamships in the China trade, as well as quicker and better communication by sea with Mexican and Central American ports. 'Trade follows the flag." The subsidy law puts upon the ocean new' steamships flying the American flag, and giv ing us quick and direct mail com munication with the countries to the south of us. A large increase in our trade will rapidly follow as the result of the subsidy law, which supplements the reciprocity treaties in progress. Toledo Blade. Foktunes acquired by chance or by a single jump into some field of labor are few in number. When the idea that a fortune or a fat office is awaiting him, if he only happens to find it, takes pos session of a young man, he has then fitted himself for the box whittler's, the tramp's or beggar's duties and position in life. The habit ot day dreaming and build ing air castles is as hard to over come and as fatal to success in life as is dishonesty or intemperance. But nothing so thoroughly damns a youth to a life of poverty, the latter half of which will be spent in drudgery, and in doing unpleas ant jobs for industrious persons, than to be possessed with the idea that he is sharp enough to make a good and fairly honest living with out work. The fact that one has this idea is positive evidence that he is below mediocrity. A way to success is open to the average boy, though the resting places are not the saloons by the wayside. A reasonable amount of labor with only a fair intellect insures a fair amount of success. The freedom allowed Young America to-day is as much a detriment to the con ceited and indolent individual as it is advantageous to the more sensible and energetic. Boys will be boys, but not all boys will be men though they live a hundred years. Globe Republican. . While Oregonians were enjoy ing ideally perfect weather Satur day, their friends in California were sweltering in a temperature of 105 deg., and the people of Iowa, Kansas and Colorado were dodging cyclones, hailstones and streaks of lightning. It is a won der the roads leading to Oregon are not blocked with pilgrims seek ing the promised land. Out of the seventy million silver dollars that should have been in the treasury when" the cash was counted a short time ago, but 69, 999,999 were found. The other one is probably sticking to the bottom of one of the bags that held - them. Dispatches from many points in Arkansas say Jefferson Davis me morial meetings were held, at which subscriptions were collected for a Jefferson Davis monument. The wheat harvest in Oklahoma is almost complete. TWyield is estimated at not less than twenty five bushels per acre. Crops of all kinds are very promising. It is said that Jay Gould is in favor of the sub-treasury scheme. He has tppay six per cent, for the money that he borrows, and would like fo get it for two; During the year ending' April 30th, the people of Oregon con sumed 94-140 barrels of beer, most of it good. This is an increase of 6,408 barrels over the previous year. Oregon now has 146 newspa pers, and she stands thirtieth in the Union m newspaper circula tion. ENDORSED BY RESIDENTS OF CORVALLIS. What the citizens of Corvallis Bay about the Pacific washing machine. We, the undersigned citizens of Cor vallis have seen the Pacific Washing Machine work and do most cheerfully recommend it to all who need a first class machine. It does its work thor oughly and in a remarkable short time, and without any labor so to speak. It is all that it is claimed to be, and is the best machine we have seen used, and does its work better: Mrs. S. N. Wilkins, W. H. Hartless, Mrs. D. D. Berman, Mrs. G.

Very few people know that in the late civil war, out of the thousands of heroes on the rolls, but five hundred were awarded the coveted distinction of the medal of hon or. The record of many of the exploits for which the medal has been given shows that they have been as grand as any in the age of chivalry, and that they shed a brilliant luster upon our national escutcheon. A new work just published tells the story of many of these heroes. It is grand, thrill ing, exciting. Among the stories told by the boys in blue themselves are the follow. ing: "A Minnesota Boy's First Battle," 'Fighting Joe's Men," "A Hero of Antie tam," "Foiling an Assassin," "The Soldier Scout's Story," "Three Thinking Bayonets, "The Salient at Spottsylvania," Mars and Cupid at Gettysburg," "At the Cannon's Mouth," etc., etc. The work is beautifully illustrated with battle scenes and war pic tures, also portraits of the gallant men who won the medal. Such a work is sure of an enormous sale in any community. Every old soldier's heart will beat with pride in reading it, and those who love deeds of daring and adventure will be infatuated with the modest, manly way in which these brave men tell their story. The work is called "The Bravest 500 of '61." It is sold only by subscription, by the well-known publishing house, The History Company of San Francisco. We call attention to their advertisement in another column. . TORTUKINGT ECZEMA ! Editor Iowa Plain Dealer Cured of In uffttrable Itching; and Palo toy the - Cutlcara Remedies. No Irfssa Than Five Physicians Consulted, Their Combined Wlimom Followed Without Benefit. I am sixty-six years old. In August, 1889, was troubled with the peculiar skin disease to which people of my age are sub- J'ect, known among medical men as eczema, ts first appearance was near the ankles. It rapidly extended over the lower extremi ties nntil my legs were nearly one raw sore; from legs the trouble extended across the hips, shoulders and the entire length of the arms, the legs and arms greatly swollen with an itching, burning pain, without ces sation. Although the 'best medical advice attainable was employed, no less than hve physicians of the place being consulted and the prescriptions tx-iog the result of their combined wisdom, the disease, though ap parently checked, would recur in a few days as bad as ever; during its progress my weight fell away about twenty-five pounds. As an experiment I began the use of CcTI cuba. following the simple and plain in structions given with the Remedies, and in four weeks found myself well, with skin soft and natural in color, the itching and pain entirely relieved.
