Congress has heen in session now
over a tnonth, and the usual quibbling
over matters ot minor iinportnnco oc
cupies the attention of many of the
members. Much is needed to he done
at this session, and much is expected
of congress, and the lime is none to
lonto perform the work entrusted
to it to be done.

H
We shout for the American girl
is said that Miss Winslow. an Ameri
can girl, took away the breath of all
(Curope. It was at Hamburg, when
shi! waltzed at a ball. The I'riitco of
Wales saw her and sent, his equerry to
summon her to a wall, with him.
4 'Convey my regrets to his royal hiijh-
iiess, and say that I do not wish to'
dance again," was her answer, j
"Hut," said the equerry . "are vou '
not aware that the request is a com- I
inandi"' "Are you aware" she an-1
Mvcrcd. "that I am an American, and
do not obey royal commands?' ' This J
ended it, and Europe had a cold chill.
Uut. the lady deserves American thanks i
for her independence. j

Somewhat more than a year ago A.
S. Carpenter, a proof reader on tho
Minneapolis ''rihiine. and S. G.
Goodsou, conceived the idea that elec
tricity might he employed to do the
work of type-setting, and finally sub
mitted their plans to C. L. Kedlield,
i mechanical engineer. He made
Mime valuable suggestions and com
pleted the drawings. Tho three at
once set to work on having the mod
els constructed. Theo worked well,
and recently a machine was completed.
It did tho work perfectly well, and at
the astonishing rate of -'00 impressions
a minute, or o,000 "ems" an hour
against the 1,100 "ems," which (he
average compositor can now set. The
success of the machine was such that a
number of local capitalists were at
once interested iu it, and tho Klee'ro
Matrix company was incorporated
with $1 ,000,000 capital stock. Ex.
Tho United States assay ohicu lu

Kvery little rumor of war. from Eu-

"If there is war iu Europe," says
everyone, "price? iu breadstuff are

country means prosperous times in

Much pressure is being brought to
bear on both democratic and repub
lican members of congress, against
the continuation of Lamar to the su
preme judgeship of the United States;
not only for the reason that he has
been and is now extremely disloyal,
out that as a lawyer, he is below a
mctliurrr in the profession, and is en
tirely incapable and incompetent, for
that position of honor and importance.
There n'o democrats whose character,
loyally and eminence in the legal pro-
! fcsMon entitle them to positions of
importance, over thoo whose, legal
training has been sadly neglected.

With entire assurance it may be said
thai, of the great battle pictures on
exhibition in various cities, none sur
passes the "(Jettysbnrg, " now com
pleted and thrown open to the public
iu Portland. Kvery one who has seen
this painting and the "Gettysburg"
of Chicago pronounces the Portland
picture, greatly the superior one. It
has a depth that the Chicago painting
has not; distance is represented to
better advantage; the topography of
the lield nas been studied anew for the
present picture, anil information
! with the actual situation at the crimes
; of battle. Tho numberjof figures dc
j liueated on the canvas is about double
j (he number in the painting at Chicago
' and tho whole is brought out with an
effect brightened by the experience of
a number of years iu painting and
' mounting great, battle pieces.
I It is impossible to give the reader
j any adequate idea of this great work.
1 No praise call exaggerate it. Every
description must fall so tar thort of its
(reatness ami merits that, no matter
how much one may have heard of it, he
is overwhelmed with surprise as this
view of it bursts upon him. The ex
tent of the picture, the spirit of it, the
power that is thrown into the tremen
dous scene before him, till the sped i
tor with astonishment. And there is
so much of it that it may be studied
upon repeated visits without exhaust
ing the details.
In tins painting Portland h.is an at
traction that cannot but command the
atlentson of the whole Northwest. It
is a superb work, excellent both as an
historical study and as inspiration of
patriotism. Ureijoniun.
WAR CLOUDS X JCL'UOl't:.
I If warearly iu tho spring is averted,
! otllcial anticipation will bn deceived
and military expectation disappointed.
Within the pa&t few days it has bo
! come a settled conviction iu diplom it
ie circles that the czar's partite tenden
tlies have been overborne by the pau
Salvish faction , and that he is now
' under the control of tlio war party
leaders, some of whom aro likely to
' proeipitato a war by some act of pro
( oration, committed without the czar's
, full consent.
The return of ("lonornl Von Sch
1 wolniu, Gorman ambassador to St.
Poteoburg, was hoped to bo signal
j i.ed bv a ducUivo turn of tho tide
, poaroward, The coufereueo between
, Von Suhweinitz and Do CJiors, the
Russian prime minister, recently, had ,
a contrary result. Whatever passoil i
tlurliiL' the intorviuw has deeiiened
the distrust iu Uorlin nud increased
thu irritation of tho Jtussiau govern
uient towards tho car's ministors.
)a Giors appear.s to havu abandoned
his policy of poaco prossf-uru upon tho
czar and to havo thrown his inlluenco
upon thu bide of the military party.
Ilo U reported as telling Von Seh
weinitz that tho czar is bincerely de
Biious of peace, but is tinabio to tol
erate louir Austrian duplicity in
thwarting Russia's ondenvors to ob
tain I lie first fruits of her Miciitlcoii in
tho llalkan campidgii. Do (iiars hart

n nMiituiiN iodic ninu i.f the on-
' ticmc tctit'iou of the nutation is tho
bellicose tone of t lie St. Petersburg
papers towords Austria. Uu'lgaria,
tho papers say. must be deprived of
, any shadow of individuality and be
come a Russian provenco, while Aus
j tria must be forced to evacuate Ilosmia
aud llerzegoviuia. An inspired arti
: clc iu the Grnshdamn stales that the
i Jliissimi government lias obtained
, knowledge that the terms of the treaty
! of alliance leaves Germany free, not
to interfere unless Austria is threat
ened witli a collapse which would in
volve territorial losses. This is con
trary to the ollicial press of Vicuna
and Pcsth , which treats the war ques
tion as a common matter between
, Austria and Germany. Merlin ofli
cial views concur with that of the
', Austrian press. Tho report that count
I Von Wolkcnstoin , the Austrian am
bassador at .St Petersburg, had rc
1 ccived assurances from Do f tiers that
1 the movements of troops had ceased,
is semi-ofiicially denied from Viona.
The reassuiing representation would
be useless iu the face of facts during
the past week. Russian cavalry and
light artillery have been pushed for
ward to tho extreme outposts. A
careful estimate gives Russia eight
and a half army corps within the fron
tier districts of AVarsaw, Wilna and
Kielf, with JU0 field batteries against
the combined Austrian and German
force of live anil a half army corps,
with 8ii Iml'crics. Russia has olso an
immense preponderance in cavalry
strength.

The First Sign
Of failing health, whether in tho form ot
Night Sweats and Ner-rotiBuess, or in a
Bunso of General "Weariness and Loss of
Appetite, should sugge3t tho uso of
Ayor'3 Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is ino3t effective for giving touo and
strength to tho enfeebled system, pro
moting tho digestion and assimilation of
food, ro3toriug the nervous forces to
tliulr normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing tho blood.
Failing Health.
Ten years ago my health began to fall.
1 was troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night. Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. 1 tried various remedies pre
scribed by different physicians, but
became bo weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended mo to try Ayer'fi
(Sarsaparilla, which I did, and 1 am now
sih healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
li. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn.
I havo used Ayor's Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this torriblo disease. I havo
also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an
alterative, and must say that I honestly
believe it to bo tho best blood medicine,
ovurconipoundod. W. F. Fowler, M. D.,
D. D. S Greonvnie.Teun.
Dyspepsia Cured.
It. would bo impossible for mo to de
scribe what. 1 suflercd from Indigestion
mid Ileadnchn up to tho time I began
taking Aver's Sarsaparilla. I was under
tho enro of various idiysicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla
for a short time, my headacho disap
peared, and my stomach performed its
duties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
Hurley, Springlield, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by tho
prompt uso of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
Jones ami invigorates tho system, regu
lates tho action of tho digestive and
nssimllatlvo organs, and vitalizes tho
Mood. It is, without doubt, tho most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.
