AN OPEN IiETTER.
Mr. William 1. Marshall, of
FUchburg, Mass., a lecturer of
note, has been visiting the most
attractive localities in Oregon and
Washington with a view of pre
paring a lecture on the early set
tlement of the country and its
leading features, to be illustrated,
as his other lectures arc, by
calcium light and dissolving views.
The title of this lecture will be
"Oregon and the Unhonorcd
Missionary Hero who Saved our
Pacific Possessions." Dr. "Whit
man, of course, is meant. The
lecture will be prepared for de
livering in the eastern states. Mr.
Marshall would be glad to receive
contributions from those who
knew Dr. Whitman in Oregon,
containing information on the sub
ject. Such communications may
be addressed to him at Fitchburg,
Mass.
Olney P. O., Clatsop Co., On.
Mr. William L Marshall,
Fitchburg, Mass:
Dear Sir: Having accidentally
found a little article in the Walla
Walla, W. "T. paper, in which I
understand you propose to give a
course of lectures on this western
coast and also to include "Oregon
and the unhonorcd missionary heio
who saved our Pacific possessions,'
Dr. Whitman, of course, is meant,
In the notice I understand you
wish to get information from those
who knew Dr. Whitman.
Allow me to say that I met that
noble man at Liberty landing on
the Missouri river in 183G, traveled
with his wife and Rev. H. H.
Spalding and wife, the entire
distance from Missouri to Van
couver; the same year assisted him
and Rev. Mr. Spalding in erecting
their first mission buildings, and in
1S37 recrossed the Rocky moun
tains to New York and brought
back in 1S3S four associate mis
sionaries with their wives and re
mained with them till a few days
after Dr. Whitman had started to
go to Washington to do what he
could to counteract the designs of
the Hudson Bay company and
British government in claiming
and holding Oregon as a preserve
for fur producing animals. The
designs of the Hudson Bay com
pany were plain and outspoken
and their boast of holding it, on
the ground of the most numerous
British subjects in it, was no
secret to Dr. Whitman and he who
writes this letter. .We had can
vassed all the facts in the case in
company with an associate, Cor
nelius Rojrers, and we were fullv
aware of the ignorance of our
reverend associates in reference to
the designs of the H. B. Co. and
British government, as most ably
set forth in his 30 years in the U.
S. senate by Hon. Thos. H. Ben
ton. Our associates were de
cidedly opposed to the doctors
leaving his station to go to Wash
ington, or to my leaving the
service of the mission to become a
settler among the few Americans
then in the Willamette vallev.
The doctorsaid, in my presence,
"that he would p-o and do what he
mnlrl to Mr this countrv for our'
American people if the American
board dismissed him for doing so."
We were well aware that only
by an immigration over the Rocky
mountains could save the country
under the conditions of the joint
occupancy treaty, as the H. B. Co.
then had in it over four hundred
British subjects, and a hundred
Red river settlers on their way to
it.
That about the same time, in
1841, an effort had been made to
organize in the Willamette valley,
& colony of British subjects, to
include the Americans, under a
British governor at its head. That
attempt was defeated by a few
Americans then present, while the
British subjects were the most nu
merous. In the fall of 1S42 I be-
came a settler rwith my family in
the Willamettevalley, and com
menced at once to canvas and
unite our American settlers and as
far as possible the Methodist mis
sion influence, in securing our
American organization, knewing:
that Dr. Whitman would use all
his knowledge and influence
to induce settlers favorable
to Americanizing the country
for the United States. How well
he succeeded is now a matter of
positive history, as firmly fixed in
every candid, intelligent mind as
the disgraceful fact that his life and
that ol his noble wife were sacri
ficed on the country's altar, to save
it to them, and yet but a feeble
effort has been made to wipe out
the stain of neglecting to give
him and those who fell with him,
Christian or patriotic sepulture.
1 inclose to your address the
printed slips, and the discussion or
controversy I have had with a
woman who has undertaken to de
tract as much as possible from the
efforts of Dr. Whitman in refer
ence to the saving of Oregon for
our people. She even attempts to
deny that he went to Washington,
notwithstanding
the numerous
witnesses now living to convict her
of her vain attempt to falsify posi-
tive facts.
This letter, with the accompany
ing printed slips, will doubtless
give you sufficient facts to present
to your interested and intelligent
audiences. Should you wish any
further items or information his old
associate and friend can give, a
line from you will bring a reply.
I purpose, as soon as our arrange
ments are completed, to give my
time to canvas our state and Wash
ington Territory, to see how lib
eral are our people who now en
joy and occupy the country that
received the life blood of the doc
tor, his wife, and associate mar
tyrs, will be in assisting to remove
the stain of neglect to their mem
ory. Respectfully yours,
W. H. Gray.
Aaron Burr as a Cross-Examiner
A writer thus describes the con
clusion of a case in which Burr
was one of the lasers: The
evening session opened and Burr
resumed his cross examination of
the witness. It was a test of the
profound skill and sobriety of the
lawyer, the self-possession, courage
and tact of the witness standing on
the very brink of a horrible gulf
firmly and intrepidly resisting the
efforts of the terrible man to topple
him over. At last, after dexter
ously leading the witness to an
appropriate point, Burr suddenly
seized a lamp in each hand, and
holding them in such a manner
that their4ight fell instantaneously
upon the face of the witness, he
exclaimed in a startling voice,
like the voice of the avenger of
bloed: "Gentlemen of the jury,
behold the murderer!"
With a wild, convulsive start, &
face f & Pallor e'CS Start'nS
I t ii.:. i .- i; l. i
liuiu i iieu suuk-cus, ups aparc, nis
whole attitude evincing terror, the
man sprang from his chair. For a
moment he stood motionless, strug
gling to recover his self-possession.
But it was only a momentary
struggle, shaking every nerve with
paralyzing: fear. Conscious that
the eyes of all in the court room
were fixed upon him, reading the
hidden deeds of his life, he left the
witness stand and walked shrink
ingly to the door of the court-room.
But he was prevented from making
his escapo by the sheriff. The
effect can be better imagined than
described. It struck the specta
tors with silent awe, changing the
whole aspect of the trial in an
instant, overthrowing the hypothe
sis of the attorney-general, whioh
he was coavinced would send the
prisoner to the gallows, saving an
innocent man from the deathful
hands of a bold and skillful
perjurer. The false witness was
arrested, two indictments were
found against him, one for murder,
another for perjury. He was ac
quitted for murder, but subse
quently convicted for perjury,
and sentenced to a long term of
imprisonment.
DESTISY.
Encircled by the cooling cloud-land
drifts,
A tiny spring I know,scarce two hands
wide,
Where green and fair the loftj moun
tain lifts
Its forest banners high in conscious
pride
Two baby brooklets, oozing from litis
lount.
Moved by a hand unseen, in kindness
pressed
Flow winding down on either side the
mount,
And reach, by paths remote, the self
same rest
Two children play upon the village
green,
Their chubby hands are clasped, they
kiss and go;
Then all their lives an ocean rolls be
tween At last thejr meet where churchyard
daisies grow.
As rivers course through weary wind
ing ways,
Forever onward, onward to the sea,
So course thy feet and mine, through all
our days.
Beneath the guiding star of destiny.
Ayo up and down, through all life's
mazy folds,
As sweep and sway and rule the tides
the sea.
Alland unseen so sweeps and sways
and holds
And rules the hearts and lives of you
and me.

Once a member of the corps
diplomatique asked SkobcloflT, the
famous Russian general, whether
he ever felt afraid. The reply is
worthy of quotation. uYou see,
my dear sir," he said, "you have
the right to be a coward; a private
soldier may be a coward; a subor
dinate officer even can be excused
for possessing the instinct of self
preservation. But from the com
mander of a company upward no
justification of cowardice is pos
sible. In my opinion a coward
general is a contradiction in terms,
and the less such contradictions
are tolerated the better."
SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED LiVEO.

ribs, Increasing on pressure; sometime)
tlto pain is on the left fcido; the puticit h
rarely able to lie on the left side; somo

in the arm. The stomach la affected with
lovs of appetite and sickness; the bowels
In general are costive, MMuetinio alter

with p.Un, accompanied with n dull, hofivy
sensation in the back part. Therein gener
ally a considerable loss of memory, accom

left uudouu something which ought to
have been done. A blight, dry cough is
sometimes attendant. The patient com
plains of weariness and debihtv; lie is
easily startled; his feet are cold "or burn
ing, and he complains of n prickly sensa
tion of the skin; Ills spirits arc low, and.
although he is satisfied that exorcise would
be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try It.
If you have any of the above symptoms,'
you can certainty be cured by the use of
