gtyc Mens jftastyisest. FRIDAY .MAY 1, 1874. HOMEtfEWS. The Joltn L. Stephens, which arrived last Tuesday night, brought a large number of emigrants. Ou Saturday last a Mr. Hubbard, wife and child started from their home to at tend a Grange meeting at'-tterrais. hen about five miles from the desti nation, as they were going down a ateep hill, the wagon slipped sidcwise, thB wheel striking a log, which threw Mra. JubJUard ar-d her child out. Los ing her hold of the baby, the little thing fell just in advance of a lo;, and the wheels passing over the log, fell upon the child, crushing it to death. On last iWondny morning a body was discovered floating in the river near Flanders' wharf in this city. The Coro ner wasuotified, a jury was called and an examination held. The deceased was found to have been a native of Hol land ; name, Charles "Wilson; was a seaman by occupation, and came to this port on the barque Aunie M. Weston He was lost seen on Saturday the 17th inat., and was under the influenco of liquor at that time. The remains, from appearances, nan been in tho water twelve or fourteen days, and were badly uecomposeu.

' luiuicumiojj L-uiiironieu oy inuiguant critics with her grandmother. If the grandmother is living, the fact of her eisianc is appealed to; ir there is only a departed grandmother to remember, niu niiiiueii la i-umronieu wmi a gliost That ghost is endowed with as many ex ceiiencies as those with which Miss ueisey rrotwooii endowed the neico that never nau been born; and as David iopperiieiu was reproached with the virtues of his unborn sister, who "would icvci uavu run away," so tnat grand uuuKiiiur wuu me iieauaciie is re- proacneu wuu tlio ghostly perfections of her grandmother, who never had a headache or, if she had. it is luckllv forgotten. 1 1 is necessary to ask, some- nines, wnat whs reniiv Mo truth about our grandmothers? Were they such moueis oi bodily perfection as is usualiv claimed ? J Ifwelookat the early colonial days, we are at once met hr dm fnii timt i. though families were then often larger ","u uw common, yet mis puenom enon was by no meaus universal and was balanced by a good inauy childless liumes. ui tins any one can satisfy himself by looking over any family his tory; and he can also satisfy Iiimself of the fact first pointed out, I believe, by Mrs. Dall that third and fourth mar riages were then more obviously and unquestionably more common than now. The inference would seora to be, that there is a little illusion about the health of those days, as there is about the health of savage races. In both cases it is not so much that tho average health is greater under less highly civi lized conditions, but that these condi tions kill oir the weak and leave only the strong. Modern civilized society, on the other hand, preserves the health of many men and women and permits them to marry and become parents who under the severities of savage life or of pioneer life would have died and given way to others. On this 1 will not dwell, because these good ladies were not strictly our grand mothers, being further removed. Butof those who were bur grandmothers tho women of the Revolutionary and post Revolutionary epochs wo happen to have very delinito physiological obser vations recorded rather flattering, it is true, but frank-and searching. What these good women are ia the imagina tion of theirdescendants we know. Mrs. Stowc describes them as "the race of strong, hardy, cheerful girls that used to grow up in country places and make the bright, neat, New England kitchens or olden times," and adds, "this race of women, the pride of olden time, is daily lessen I nir: and in their stead come the fragile, easily-fatigued, languid girls oi a moucrn age, drilled in uooK-Iearn-mg, Ignorant of common things." ; House and Home Paners. r. 203. ) "What now was the testimony of those who saw our grandmothers in the flesh? As it happens there were a good manv foreigners, generally Frenchmen, who came to visit the new republic during me I'rcsiaency oi wasuington. .Let us take, for Instance, the testimony of the two following: ThcA bboRobin was a chaplain In Roch- amueau'sarmy during tlie Kerolutiou, and wrote thus in regard to the Ameri can ladies in his "Xouvcau Voyage dans VAmerique Se)Ucnlrionale,u published in 1782: "They are'tall and well-proportioned; their features are generally regular; their complexions are generally fairand without color. At twenty years of age the women have no longer the freshness of youth. At thirty-fivo or forty they are wrinkled and decrepit. The men arc almost as premature." Again. The Chevalier Louis Felix de Beaujour lived in the Uuitcd States from 1S04 to 1S14, as consul-general and cliarae d'affaires; and wrote a book. Immediately after, called "A sketch of the l nited btates at the Commence ment of the Present Century." In this he thus describes American women: "Tho women have more of that deli cate beauty which belongs to their sex, and in general have finer features and more expression m meir puysiognomy. Their stature is unusually tall and nearly all are possessed of a light and airy shape; me breast nigu, a nnc ncau and their color or a dazzling wiittencss, JjeiU3 1UlUlUC, UUUCi lutauiiiiiuiibiuiiu, the most modest demeanor, a chaste and virglual air, accompanied by thosesiugle and unaffected graces wmcu now ironi artless nature, and we may have an idea or their beautv: but this beauty fades and passes in a moment. At the age of iwenty-tive their form changes, and ai miriy me wnole or meir charms nave disappeared." I take both these extracts from the appenuix to "The Republican Court," by Rufus Y. Ciriswold (Kpw Vnrlr. IRSfi. 1 They belong to a class or facts which, as it, MXUI3 iu me, are singularly ignored by some of our nhvsiolotristsrner showing that the modification of the American type oegau very early and is, as a rule, due to causes 1 vinp far iMn,i those fashions or studies of tho present uay u wmcu iiicy are so nastily and aupuiuiiaiiy aunuuieu. nerc are our graudmothers and great grandmothers seen oy me eyes oi impartial or even a i i : : . r . rr-i ... uaucnuj; uiiucs. iiiese critics were not Englishmen, accustomed to n m. buster and ruddier type of women; but Frenchmen, used to a typo more like the. American. They were not mere liasty travelers; for the one at least lived here ten years, and tho other was sta tioned for some time at Newport, R. I., in a -healthy locality, noted in those days for the beauty of its womcu. Aud the women whom they observed were certainly not sufferers from schooling, for'SJ rs. JohnAtiamsyone of the-most distinguished matrons of that period, wrote In regard to her own-jyouth that "female education In. the 'beat families went no further than writing and arith metic; in some few and rare instances, music and dancing." Yet wajlnd tho verdict to be upon these grandmothers of nearly a hundred years ago, that they showed the same delicate beauty, the same slenderness, the same pallor, the same fragility, the same early decline with which their granddaughters are now reproached. Iu some respects, probably, the physi cal habits of the grandmothers were better; butan examination or their por traits will satisfy any-one-lhat-tliey laced more tightly than their descend ants, and wore their dresses lower in the neck; and as for their diet we have the testemony of another French traveler, Volney, who was In America from 175)3 to 1793, that "if a premium were oflered for a regimen most dlstructlve to "the teeth, the stomach, and the health iu general, none could he devised more efficacious for these ends than that iu use among this people." And he goes on to give particulars, showIng,,a far worse condition in respect td'-cookery and diet than now prevails in any de cent American society. (Griswold's "Republican Court." Appendix.) Y'e have therefore stong evidence that, tho essential change in the American typo was effected iu the last century, not in this. Dr. E.H. Clarke says"a century does not nllord a period long enough for the productloa ot great changes. That length of time could not transform the sturdy German frauleln and robust English damsel Into the fragile Ameri can Miss;" And yet It is pretty clear that the first century and a half of our national life had done just this for our grandmothers, without aid from school rooms or colleges. And ir so, our phys iologists ouRht to conform their theories to the racts. T. W. ITtgglnson in Wom an's Journal. OUR AGENTS.

SAMUEL CORWIN, Proprietor, The history o! this metliclne cannot better be explained than by inserting the following let ter: r, . . San Francisco, July 2.1C2. My Dear Old Friend, Samuel Corwln: I have no doubt butyouwlll be much surprised on receiving this letter, but. perhaps, not more so. or more gratified, than I was to hear rroni you. The manner in which I heard from you, and learned or your whereabouts, is thlsi 1 happened to be looking over an Oregon paper and noticed your name, as representative elect, rr??l.TiIInmoofe county. The thrill of pleasure which I experienced on reading is Indescriba ble. The many acts of klndneta which I re ceived at your hands long years ago had never necn lorgouen, noiwnustanuing our corres pondence has been broken ror seventeen years. Well, Sam, I won't attempt to give you more than the outlines of what has transpired with me since we Inst corresponded. So many Inci dents of the past. In which you and I were con nected, crowd upon my mind that I cannot think or write ot myself. Does your mind ever revert to the past, when we first met how you took me In as n partner, when those who should have been my best friends threw off on me how we got snowed in nnd had to live on potatoes straight for six weeks how good that grizzly meat tasted what a disgraceful retreat we made from our poor Innocent Jack, when we thought we were besclged by n grirziy t Well, Sam, those events of 1X2 frequently rur nish subject matter (or ray thoughts, mid, as 1 am writing to you, crowd upon my mind, but I will dismiss them forthe pre.-ent to glepie lo that which-wlll, perhaps, be ol greater inter est to you.- I pocketed eleven thousand dollars out of the "DeepClaim"you jthvp me In Marapoiiu.und started for home In June, 1S53. Unvested lour thousand dollars in real estate in this city, and left it in cnreofMcLane.ourold cabin mate. My propeity here has yielded me a handsome In come, aud quadrupled In value. I went Into business In New York city, In which I w very successful sold out two years ago, since which time I have been traveling In European coun tries. You. know I used to have a weakness for travellug well, it has been gratified to my heart's content. While In France I was taken with the small-pox. The lady of the Inn told me that I was fortunate to take the disease at that place, as there wns an old small-pox doc tor near bv who never failed to cure, 110 matter how bad the disease; nnd sure enough, I began to recover within four hours after commencing to take the. medicine, and in twenty-rotir hours I relt quite well. I was so much elated with the magical effects or the medicine that I was determined, if possible, to obtain the formula. In which I succeeded, by paying handsomely and promising not lo divulge.it in France. I see from Oregon papers that you have the disease union: you. The enctosed package contains tlie formula and sufficient material for ramiiy ue. I havo cured all the cases that I have come In contact with, and find It an in fallible cure and preventive. When you an swer this I will forward sufficient of the mate rial to make you a fortune, as I havo ample, and rest assured I reciprocate past favors. I will close for tlie present and await anx iously your answer. Direct to San Francisco, as I will remain here about two months. Yours, etc., ISAAC RICHARDSON.

The condition of the child np. to last April seemed to confirm the Doctors opinion, as ho never was free lrom those eruplious sores. A number or our best phyai clans had endeavored in vain to give the child relief. At the time I commenced giving him Dr. ISorzcau'sSmall-pox Remedy tbecbilJ was unable to open Tils eyes, his face was a. com plete mass of Inflammation and corruption running from both cars.
