MR.. CORwIN's SMALLPOX REMEDY.

Now that the smallpox is in our
midst, we feel it duty the journalist
owes to humanity to make known the
value Of q remedy that robs the disease
Of its fatality as well as many Of its
loathsome sccompaniments.
Peter Burke, the first man who tried
the remedy, was not confined to his bed
at all with the disease. When his wife
was attacked, a physician was employed
by her frightened friends, who deter
mined that the patient should die, or
live, according to the books; so he refused
to give her Corwin's remedy and failed
to save her life.
We are reliably informed that of some
thirty cases in the city that have been
kept from the knowledge Of the doctors
or police officers, that they might have
opportunity to depend upon this rem
edy, not one has died; none are marked
or pitted seriously, and the members of
the family who have taken the remedy
as preventive have in all cases failed
10 catch the contagion.
We learn that Mr.. Corwin Iabors un-
der two difficulties in introducing this
specific. The first is the press, which
he cannot afford to pay for sufficient ad-
vertising or editorial matter to insure
the public confidence, and the second is
the physicians, who, like the lawyers,
are determined to adhere to old usages
until driven to do better.
We have taken pains to learn the
truth of what we are saying and have
no interest in Corwin or his remedy be-
yond the benefit that may accrue to the
people through his chemical antidote
for smallpox, which is being used with
such wonderful, though unostentatious
success, in saving human life from the
most loathsome, contagious and fatal
disease in the world.

REEDS PANORAMA OF OREGON
SCENERY,


This wonderful work Of art was ex-
hibited in Masonic Hall upon three
evenings of last week to crowded houses.
To say that the paintings are superb
would fail to do them justice. With
the exception of a few foreground scenes
which mar the exaetness of the work,
they are simply true to nature, which is
the highest praise that can be bestowed
upon work of art.
Messrs. Towl & Hawkins, the gen.
tlemanly proprietors of the Paonrama,
deserve great credit for having con-
ceived the plan of this work for the pur-
pose of inducing immigration to our
State, as well as for their sensible appre-
citation of the merits of Col. .Reedasa seen
ic painter. We learn that it is their inten-
ton to exhibit the Panorama at the diff
ferent towns in Oregon and Washing
ton Territory and at the State and Ter
ritorial and county fairs of the North
west, prior to going to San Francisco
and the Atlantic States.

A PLEA FOR WOMAN.

Domestic happiness. thou only bliss
OF Paradise that has survived the fall.
Though few now taste the unimpaired and
free,
or tasting, long enjoy thee, too infirm
or too incautious To preserve thy sweets,
UnmiNed with drops OF bitter"
Woman's sphere, her influence, her
domestic obligations and duties, have
long formed trite themes for many an
essay, sermon and tale. How long
have the pulpit, the press, the teachings
of society and public sentiment, enforced
the sacred obligations which rest upon
her, to make the homes of men over
which she may preside Edens-retreats
from the turmoils and perplexities of
mans outer life-retreats where his
soiled and ruffled garments of care and
annoyance may be exchanged for the
robes of comfort and repose? How oft
and how feelingly is she reminded that
trifies make the sum of human things,
and therefore she should ever be a wake
full sentinel upon the watch-tower of do
mestic life, guarding from the intrusion
Of malign and disturbing influences the
sacred hearthstone?
II is well that the daughters of Eve
shall be taught their duty to sooth
mans troubled spirit, smooth his care
worn brow and brighten his rough and
toilsome pathway with those gentle
ministrations, heroic forbearances and
unfading love and service which rem
der them helps meet for him. / will not
attempt to add either suggestions or in
structionso on this well-worn theme. But,
assuming that her brother man has
been too much overlooked in suggestive
hints on domestic education, | would
call his attention TO some of those trifIes
which make the sum of ,comdn's life.
and which carry their influence into
the domestic circle no less inpressively
than those so frequently urged upon her
consideration, and which have their
own weighty influence in the comforts
and discomforts of home. May these
whispers, though faint, reach the ear of
those husbands whom custom and
teachings have educated to the belief
Ieven against the suggestions of their
better natures) that the smiles and SYM
pathies, the forbearances, little atten-
tions aud services, which should be
