An Explanation '
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it isas
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
nnd all aro caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver whioh in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
b.Ie through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, iiillious iever, etc. lou
who arc Buffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous.

"ROUGHING IT" IN ALASKA.
How a Party of Astorians Are Faring
a Bleak Coast.
On
(Ycsteiday's Oregonian.)
Mr. A. Webber, who sailed from
Astoria on tho brig Hope for tho Al
aska fishery, writes the following in
teresting account of his experiences
since to a friend here:
Kabluk, Alaska, May 8, 18S3.
I have at last after many adven
tures reached tho great land of Alas
ka. We left Astoria Friday, March
25. The weather was fine and most
ot the crew happy. For tho first ten
days there were very few .sick, and
watching the sailors and eating form
ed our chief pastime. On the 0th of
April, when off Cape Flattery, the
wind began to blow and kept increas
ing till we had a hurricane.
On that day as tho captain and
some more of us were playing crib
bagein the cabin a sea struck the
stern of tho brig and came over into
the cabin giving us all a good wet
ting and washing one man overboard,
but he was lucky enough to catch a
rope and the man at the wheel pulled
him on board again.
The hurricane lasted for there
days and we expected every moment
to go down. The cabin was half
filled with water three times, our fire,
put out and all onr bedding wet.
The vessel rolled so that wo could not
keep a fire in the galley, so wo had to
go wet and live for three days on
hard tack, and mighty hard it was I
tell you. On the 9th it cleared up
some and we were all very thankful.
Capt. Calloran said he had been going
to sea for thirty years and had never
seen a worse storm.
We made land on the 18th, but it
was so dim we could hardly see it.
On the 20th we saw two volcanoes,
one of which was in action, and wo
could see the smoke pouring out in
great volumes, which presented a
grand appearance. We dropped an
chor in Ulack bay on the 22d, mak
ing twenty-eight days from Astoria,
and stayed there four days, and then
went on to Karluk, where wo were
much surprised to find the crew of
the Julia Foard, which left a long
time after wo did, but had made the
trip in twelve days. They had their
mess house up and were getting along
fine, when the wind came on to blow
so that no one could get on board
either vessel, and the Foard dragged
her anchor and went on shore on a
rocky point, and was a total loss.
There was no one lost not even a
Chinaman. It will be a big loss to
Abe, as it will throw him out of a
summer's work. He and the crew aro
going down on a schooner, and I will
send this by him.
Wo did not go to Cook's inlet as we
expected, but this place is better.
There will be three canneries within
200 yards of each other, so it will not
be so lonesome as I expected. Tak
ing the lumber nshoro in the surf is
hard work, for it keeps us wet all the J
time, and wo have no chanco to dry i
ourselves. It rains or snows all tho
(imA an irsn nnn onn rrlif Trrn linrn rt '
W1A1U 3J JUU IsUU DCU tlUUV U MU1V bw
put up with. Some of the men are
sick, but I have stood it better than
any of them. Mark Twain's "Rough
ing It" is nowhere alongside of tho
picnic we are having. Wo get up at
daylight, 330 and work till dark, 830
but this will not last after wo get the
building up and havo somo place to
live in.
I think you would laugh if you
oould see mo to-night. I am sitting
on the ground writing on a box; my
hair is long, and I havo not had a
shave or a good wash sinco leaving
Astoria. I havo on a big coat and
hat and big boots, so that only my
nose and hands are visible. It is aw
fully cold and my hands are so cold
I can hardly hold the pencil. You
must not think I am sorry I came, for
I am not, and I am getting fat and
havo a good job.
Yours, etc..
