The Steamship Los Angeles Partieu.
lars Of she Disaster.

PORTLAND, Oregon, February 9th
The following in regard to the disaster
to the steamer Los Angeles was receiv-
ed last night: Captain Howell reports
that on the night of the 23d, the ves-
sci broke her shaft and became disa-
bled. He endeavored to make sail
but the position of the propeller made
it impossible to steer the vessel. He
anchored in fifty fathoms and at day
light on the Oath, found himself
fifteen miles from shore with Tilla-
nook in sight. Captain HOWELL
called for volunteers to accompany
him in the ships boat to the shore.
Four men volunteered, and at 8
o'clock A. NJ. left the steamer and land
ed late in the afternoon about twelve
miles below the Seaside House. All
night they spent in climbing the hills
and wandering through the woods,
reaching Clatsop Plains about noon !;
thence to Skipanon, where the mail
carrier took them to Astoria, arriving
at P. NJ. The steam-tug astoria was
chartered to tow the Los angeles to
Astoria. Weather thick and foggy,
but there is no heavy wind.

Love, Love, Luxurious Love.

EDITOR HERALD: A Chinese physi-
clan in this neighborhood, DIR. Ting
Lang Sung, has prepared some papers
to transmit to friend of his, a Man.
DARN in Pekin. These papers purport
to describe the symptoms and treat
ment of diseases that have under the
Doctors notice in California, and to
my surprise, on being favored with
their perusal, | found that "Love"
formed the subject of one of them.
With what propriety it is considereda a
disease, / do not know; but, to invite
discussion on the subject, | would be
happy to acquaint your readers with
the opinions expressed on it by this
demure Celestial. With his kind per-
mission, / send you, as follows, a
translated copy of the manuscript:
"Love-sickness, very prevalent in this
genial climate, is of all maladies the
most infectious and the least fatal.
Young people take it, one from the
other, as they do the measles. 1t is
communicated most readily amongst
persons of opposite sex, temperament
and complexion. No sickness gives
more signs of distress-sighs, trem-
blings and tears mark the progress of
it. No one dies of the disease; on
the contrary it appears to promote
life. A favorite nephew, expecting to
succeed to an estate at the death of
rich bachelor uncle, is never so hope
less of succession as when he hears
that "the old boyn has fallen in love;
fall in apoplexy is very different
thing. And with all its attendant pains
and aches, love never eXcites general
sympathy. In this respect it is much
like corns, toothache and bunions,
which are little thoughtof by any (but
the owner probably from the fact of
their being so common; but love,
though resembling them in the heat
and pain it causes, occurs but once in
mans lifetime, like yellow fever,
and its victims should receive some
consideration at least. Nothing shows
the insensibility of the Mclean man

No sooner is it found out that pair

quently fall into q comatose state,
giving no signs of life but long
drawn sigh or an upward roll Of the
eyes, with occasionally grasping of
the hands and biting or compression
of each others lips. In this stage of
the disease they are said to be "dead
in love.o In the intervals Of con-
sciousness they are oppressed with q
sense Of helplessness which, with the
worlds indifference, tends to increase
their sympathy toward each other and
their aversion towards everybody else.
Exerting what little strength remains
to them, they often creep into some re-
tired walk or shady bower, and sit
like two plaintive doves the live-long
day, venting their sorrows and their
sighs. A dose of ipecachuana will be
found very effective at this stage, or
mustard and water as an emetic, after

Beecher Or the Scandal.

NEW YORK, February 27th.-Henry
Ward Beecher, iu his lecture-room
talk last night, referred to the scandal
in substance as follows: For thirty
years l heve preached to you and tried
to expound the Word Of God to you.
In my old age my Father has seen fit
to afflict me with several prolonged
trials. / am not half so anxious as to
the result of this trial as that shall
live during its continuance and after
example may be that of a patient,
trusting follower of Christ Jesus; and
l pray that your many prayers may
be answered, simply that may be
known to men as a Christian" The
termination of his invocation was:
"Help us SO live that we may be able
to say, sThy will be done.' Thou
art with us, who can be against u.s. !"

This is the way it is defined by an
Eastern paper: "You wander through
the mountains of Nevada, forlorn,
alone, and think how sad lot is yours;
then strike deep, setting madder,
when suddenly, as If your heart to
glad-a big, golden nugget passes into
your pan, sir-That's bonanza. You
purchase, maybe on an empty pocket,
with fear and trembling, worthless
shares of stock; it goes straight ahead,
like honest Davy Crockett, and soon
get higher than first-class rocket;
then men bow down. and call you
great man, sir-that's bonanza.
That luck's fortune, always has been
told us; whate'er we do, the fates still
make and mold us; if luck in its en-
brace at last enfold us, filling us full
of glory or gold dust, so that the
worlds respect we can command, sir
that's bonanza.
