PORTLAND LETTER.
Narrow Kseapa of Mr. Dickenson Prom
Being Burlod Allte.
Special Correspondence.
Portland, Or., Not. S. In my letter
last week, in referenoe to the clnbs of
Portland, whilst I, by no meant, meant
to give a complete olab directory, in
mentioning the more prominent, as I
did, it was accidental ou my part that
I neglected to apeak of the road olab,
or, more properly speaking, the Good
Roads Club.
If I be not mistaken, that club hat

here. The olub occupies the mansion
of the late Banker Deknm. The house,

forta gentle efforts pleasante
ritrhtly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that bo many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed bo highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acta. It is therefore
all important, in order to get ita bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
. chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Tigs stands highest and la most largely
,4s3ed and gives most general satisfaction.
One of the
Advantages,
of city life is th bargains of tha

Before now, yon have doubtless read
of the recovery of lira, Dickenson, at
Mount Angel, Oregon, from apparent
death, October 18, as the undertaker
was about to fasten the lid on the ooffin
preparatory to taking the corpse?) to
the church where funeral aervioes were
to be held. The lady died (?) Friday.
The funeral waa set for Sunday after
noon. The little church at Mt Angel
was filled with friends Sunday after
noon, the pall spread for the coffin, and
the minister ready to officiate. After
waiting over half an hour for the ar
rival of the funeral procession, a mes
senger was sent to duoover the cause
of the delay. Soon the information
was returned that lira. Dickenson had
returned to life, as above related.
These facta I obtained from the min
ister myself, who is a worthy, reliable
ana trutniui gentleman. That was
truly a narorw escape from being
buried alive. My present information
is that there are hopes of Mrs. Dick
enson's permanent recovery.
Even hard times belp us some. A
recent heavy failure here of J. M.
Moyer St Co., bringing with it the fail
ure of the Albany Woolen Mills, has
thrown an immense stock of men's and
boys' clothing on the market, made of
pure Oregon wool, at exactly wholesale

as assignee, has cut prices to f xact cost
to raise money at once. So, if yon

The rainy season has about set in,
and not for years have Portlanders bad
a better opportunity of experiencing
the benefits of the excellent new street
pavements that I have recently referred
, to in this correspondence. II -retofore,
walking in the business center of this
ciy, during the rainy season, has been,
I might say, almost perilous; certainly
it was experimental, for no man could
tell when he put bis foot down in the
sloughs between the rows of buildings,
whether he would rest his sole on a
stump or in the bottom of a sunken
mud scow. The new streets add to
comfort and give impetus to trade at
the stores, which amply repays the out
lay for good paving.
An interview with H. W. Scott, editor
of the Oregocian, and with Sylvester
Pennoyer, mayor of Portland, may ap
pear in my next letter, after the elec
tion, if the interviews can be bad. Ahl
if both of them would only speak their
inmost minds on the result of the elec
tion, it would prove interesting if not
instructive reading. EZEKIEL.
Two Shooting Affrays.
Cincinnati, Nov. 2. There were
two shooting affrays last night In
the first one a drunken Swede was
ejected from the Salvation Army bar
racks, whereupon he ihot James Mur
ray, but not dangerously, and then
shot a little girl in the wrist He also
fired at his pursuers before he was ar
rested. The other shooting was at
Sherman's distillery, in the western
part of the oity. The participants were
two government storekeepers on duty
at the, distillery, A. E. McKenzie and
Bernard Langemeyer. McKenzie shot
Langemeyer in the bowels and groin.
Langemeyer died at the hospital. Mc
Kenzie came to the polioe station and
surrendered.

not surprised at that I hardly know
myself, and yet hers I am full of life
and vigor. Look at my arms, round,
strong and healthy. The oolor of my
cheeks show life and animation."
So spoke Mrs. Hadis, wife of Rev.
E. Hadix. of PlaocrviUe. California.
and "what has produced this wonder
f ul change from alomat death to health-
ful, active life?"
Well. I will tell you it was Pink
Pills for Pale People. Yon will remem
ber that for years I walked the streets
a living skeleton emaciated weak,
and a complete wreck. My flesh color
less, my nerves unstrung. I had no
blood. It my flesh waa punotured, a
thin pink stain was all that oould be
produced. My physicians said there
was no hope for me. My friends de
spaired of my recovery. I was sent to
Sacramento, where three of the most
eminent physloians diagnosed my case,
but they shook their heads and said
they could not help me, and they re
fused to take my money as they oould
do me no good.
"My husband was sent for to say the
last good-bye. When I lay on my
couoh to rest I felt as though 1 was
sinking, down, down, down. I oould
not sleep, neither could I rest When
all hope from physicians waa gone, I
determined to try what virtue thete
was in Pink Pills for Pale People. I
commenced taking them and soon be
gan to improve. I continued their use
with the result that to-day I am fully
recovered to health and happiness, and
this in less than six months from the
time I oommenced their use. All hail
to Pink Pills for Pale People."
J. C. Stephens, another resident of
Placerville, said: "I was afflicted
with rheumatism for more than twenty
years, and only with the greatest diffi
culty was I able to walk to my place
of business, my hands were so stiff and
swollen that I could soarcely hold any
thing in them. When driving my
team, could not hold my whip. I
saw in the San Franoisoo Call that a
friend of mine had been oured of rheu
matism by using Pink Pills. I com
menced using them with the result
that I am completely oured."
Mrs. J. Q. Bailey was afflicted for a
long time with kidney trouble and
could not rest sights. She said: "I
had heard so much about the wonders
that Pink Pills performed that I con
cluded to try them. I oommenced
taking them, and found immediate re
lief, sleep nicely, and in every way :
am greatly improved. " j

EMPEROR OF tXlA.
Bow Napoleon Conducted IBIsaaalf
baring Exit,, a
Elba waa an Island divided against
Itaelf, there being both Imperialists and
royalists among Its Inhabitants, aad a
considerable party which desired inde
pendence. By representing that Na
poleon had brought with him fabulous
sums the Austrian and English com
mlsslonera easily won the Elbana to a
fervor of loyalty for their new emperor.
Before nightfall of the 4th the court
waa established, and the new adminis
tration began Its labors. Having mas
tered the resources and needs of hla
pigmy realm, the Emperor began to de
ploy all hla powers, mending the high
ways, fortifying the strategic points,
and creating about the nucleus of four
hundred guards which were aent from
Fontalnebleau an efficient little army
of sixteen hundred men. His expense
were regulated to the mkiuteat detail
bothathomeand abroad; the salt works
and Iron mines, which were the bul
warka of Elban prosperity, began at
once to Increase their output, and taxa
tion waa regulated with scrupulous
nicety. By that superemtnent virtue of
the French burgher, gtad management
the taland waa made almost lndepem',
ent of the remnants of the Tullerle
treasure (about five million francs;
which Napoleon had brought from
France. The same powers which had
awayed a world operated with equal
success In a sphere almost microscopic
by comparison.
Before long the Princess Borghese,
separated soon after her marriage from
her second husband, and banished
since 1810 from Paris for Impertinent
conduct to the Empress, came, accord
ing to promise, to be her brother's com
panion, and Madams Mere, though dis
tant In prosperity, came likewise to
soothe her son In adversity. The In
tercepted letters of the former prove
her to have been at least as loose In her
life at Elba aa ever before, but they do
not afford a sufficient basis for the
scandala concerning her relations with
Napoelon which were founded upon '
them, and Industriously circulated at '
the court of Louis XVIII. The shame-
ful charge has no adequate foundation !
of any sort. J
Napoleon's econmomlcs were render- i
ed not merely expedient, but Impera
tire, by the fact that none of the mon
eye from France were forthcomin I
which had been promised In his treat) j
with the powers. After a short stay
Roller frankly stated that In his opln-
Ion they would never be paid, and de-;
parted. The Island swarmed with I
Bourbon spies, and the only con versa- j
tion In which Napoleon could Indulge :
himself unguardedly waa with Blr Nell !
Campbell, the English representative, :
or with the titled English gentlemen
who gratified their curiosity by visiting :
him. During the summer beats when
the court was encamped on tba heights j
at Marclana for refreshment, there ap
pea red a mysterious lady with her:
child. Both were well received and
kindly treated, but they withdrew '
themaelves entirely from the publl j
gaae. Common rumor aald It was tht
Empress; but this was not true; It waa
the Countess Walewska, with the aon
aba bad borne to her host, whom ab j
still adored. They remained but a few '
daya, and departed as mysteriously as i
they had come.
Base females thronged the precincts !
of the Imperial residence, openly strut-;
gling for Napoleon's favor as they bad i
so far never dared to do; success too ;
frequently attended their efforts. But '
the one woman who ahould have been 1
at his side was absent. It Is certain j
that she made an honest effort to come, '
and apartments were prepared for her '
reception in the little palace at Porto
Ferrajo. Her father, however, thwart-1
ed her at every turn, and finally she !
was a virtual prisoner at Scbonbrunn. ;
So manifest was the restraint that her '
grandmother, Caroline, Queen of the
Two Sicilies, cried out In Indignation, !
"If I were In the place of Maria Louitta j
I would tie the sheets of my bed to the ,
window frame and flee." Committed 1
to the charge of the elegant and subtle !
Nelpperg.a favorite chamberlain whom j
she had first seen at Dresden, he piled ;
her with such Insidious wiles that at j
last her slender moral fiber was entire- j
ly broken down and abe fell a victim j
to bis charms. As late as August Napol- j
eon received Impassioned letters from '
her; then she grew formal and cold; at
last, under Mettornlcb's urgency, she j
ceased to write at all. Her French at-!
tendant, Meneval, managed to convey
the whole sad story to her husband,
but the Emepror was Incredulous, and
hoped against hope until December.
Then only he ceased from his Incessant
and urgent sppeala. Cpnrtirv.
