A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
A Friend Pays a Tribute to the Late
Mary C. Bills.
When a life that hag been so long be
fore us, almost coeval with tbe length
of tbe century is closed, it is fitting that
we should give it more than a paesing
notice.
. Mary C. Bills was born in Prussian
Germany in 1804. She was a happy
little girl, playing among tbe bills of
fatherland unconscious of tbe great
events then transpiring around her con
vulsing a continent, and filling history's
pages since to overflowing. She was
too young to care much personally when
Queen Luise, the beloved, made ber ap
peal for the preservation of her threat
ened country, to tbe ruthless power that
was then overthrowing thrones and
kingdoms, and setting up others in their
places. But she was not too young to
remember when her father came home
and said : "All mnst now arm for tbe
defense of their country." "I, too,
father?" she asked. "Yes, you too, if I
could only make a man of you." The
closing scene of tbe battle of Waterloo
was a vivid memory to her as the fugi
tives fled from the bloody field, bearing
such news as they might in that news
paperless age.
She lived the greater part of her long
life in her adopted country, America,
but never did her tongue learn any but
the talk of fatherland. Her German
Bible was ber constant companion ; it's
precepts the daily rule of her life. She
was left a widow at the age of 23, with
two daughters, one of whom is now liv
ing iu Wisconsin. The other, who mar
ried a man of the same name as herself,
and a distant relative, is buried in Sun
set cemetery.
Mrs. Bills was a woman of great phy
sical and mental vigor. Ninety years
bad nut power to bend her erect and
graceful form, or make clumsy the move
ments which ber active temperament
made natuial. She had great personal
beauty, to which age and death could
only add a holy majesty. She went out
over the harbor bar, the Savior, whose
devoted and life-long follower she bad
been, was ber pilot, to the rest that re
maineth for the children of God. How
rich was her life in that love, which is
, confessedly, "Tbe greatest thing in the
y xVvworld."
lT" The erandchildren of Mrs. Bills are:
MrsTTJrittainT N. J. Bills, dead, Mrs.
Densmore, with whom was ber borne,
Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Louise Wyndhan and
Jacob Bills of California, Christopher
Bills of Idaho, and Henrv A. Bills of
The Dalles.
History.
Many people think Appomattox
marked the end of the war, aa Sumter
did its beginning. As a matter of fact,
tbe war did not end officially until Aug.
20, 18S6, when President Johnson issued
a proclamation announcing that the war
was at an end, and that peace, order and
tranquility and civil authority existed
in all the states. While Lee's sur
render wns not the end of the war, it was
the beginning of the end. Jobneon sur
rendered on April 26, "Dick" Taylor on
May 4th and Kirby Smith not until May
26th. On May 13th, more tban'a month
after Lee's surrender, a sharp fight took
place at Palmetto ranch, in Texas, which
is called by Jefferson Davis and other
authorities tbe last battle of the war.
Tbe commander of the Union troops,
mostly colored, says in his report:
"The last volley of the war, it is be
lieved, was fired by the Sixty-second
United States Colored Infantry, about
sunset on May 13, between White's
ranch and tbe Boca Chica, Texas."
In this fight, which took place on the
American side of tbe Rio Grande river,
the Mexican Imperialist sent over a
body of cavalry, which aided tbe con
federates in their last and successful at
tack. On June 13th Tennessee was de
clared at peace ; Jnne 23 the blockade
was raieed ; July 22d, Grant made bis
last official report ; April 2, 1866, pro
clamation that Georgia, South Carolina,
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis
sippi and Florida are tranquil, issued by
tbe president. Aug. 20, 1866, war offic
ially declared ended. Tbe latter date
was in 1867 fixed by congress as tbe of
ficial and legal date of the close of the
war.
A .Beet Sugar factory.
" Henry Weinhard, ; E. C. :Hockopfell
and W. W. Boag have incorporated a
company at Portland with $750,000 capi
tal for the purpose of making and refin
ing sugar, syrups, glucose, etc., from
beete, etc. It is intended to erect and-
operate a factory on a large scale with
the capacity to use all tbeugar beets
which can be raieed or secured. "There
will be no question ubout the money
being put up, as Mr. Weinhard is one of
tbe strongest men financially in the
city, and bis well known enterprise and
liberality is a guarantee that the pro
ject will be pushed to a consummation,
says the Portland Tribune, which fails
to state where tbe enterprise is to be
located.
DOES HE LOVE YOU?
Slow to Find the State of Tonaar
Man's Affection.
"It is the easiest thing1 in tbe world,"
paid a young' lady, according to theChi
eo0 Journal, "to tell if a young- man
is in love with you. Yet scores of
;;irls, just because they do not think
nough of themselves, overlook the
manifestations of sincere regard which
must always precede a definite con
fession of love.
"Now, a young1 man. in love, or part
ly in- love, always listens to every word
-:he utters. This is so invariably the
rule that a girl, when in company with
he young man and others, may address
;ome remark of little interest to no
ne in particular, and address it in such
i manner that it is impossible for it to
e heard. If the young man is more
: !ian ordinarily fond of the girl he will
evince special interest in that remark,
ind will not rest satisfied till he has dis
covered what it was.
"Then, again, ayoung man in love can,
when in company with several, more
readily converse with them than with
the object of his affection. For this
reason he often appears to be far more
interested in some girl he cares little
for than the girl he loves. Some young
men also develop a habit of contradict
;:: statements made by the girl they
;:re fond of. This seems an absurd
thing to do, but it is a fact that many
love affairs take rise out of incessant
playful quarrelings."

day with his hand badly lacerated and
bleeding, and pufTenng great pain," says
Mr. E. J. Schall, with Meyer Bros.'

the wound, and applied Chamberlain's

in a remarkably short time it healed

know of no other medicine or prescrip
