PORTLAND
Fourth of July Celebration.

There was a meeting of the Committee Of
General Arrangements at City hall last week
Tuesday evening Committee on grounds
reported upon the cost of building perma-
nent dancing platform in the city park.
Further consideration of the question was
postponed to await the report of finance
committee.
Mr.. Moran addressed the committee upon
the propriety of offering prize for the best
drilled militia company; and stated that
three militia companies from Portland were
ready to come to Vancouver on the 4th of
July and drill for such prize The subject
was referred to the subcommittee on amuse-
ments. On motion the corresponding Sec
rotary, Rev. A. s. Nicholson, was requested
to extend a formal invitation to the military
to participate with our citizens in TIE cele-
bration of our National independence
The following letter from Hon. John f.
Caples was read by the Secretary, and re-
ceived with applause:
Portland, Ogn., May %, 1879

of July Committee, Vancouver, W. 7.
Gentlemen: 1t will give me pleasure to be
with you and contribute my mite at your eel
ebration on the approaching 4th.

John Lutz, Sergeant Company H., 2lst
Infantry, who has been on duty at
Camp Harvey, arrived down a few days ago.
He has been promoted to Commissary Ser
geant and thereupon his company pre-
scented him with fine silver watch, upon
which 7. G. Stevens has neatly engraved
the legend, "John Lutz, presented by his
company, H, 2lst Infantry"
Among the good people who called over
from Oregon City on Decoration Day was a
nice, short young man wearing long plug
hat, and pretty girl. They took dinner
on the grass in the public park, and also had
an accident with their dinner, for the young
man sat down upon humble bee, and he
rose with such impetuosity that he ran a fir
knothole through the top and one side OF his
hat The humble bee is dead.

The day was bright and pleasant, and the
excursionists from Oregon City and Portland
arrived on the elegant Lurline at 1880
They were met by portion of the fire de-
partment in uniform, aud citizens. and at
once escorted to the military cemsterq
where the exercises were held. Ihe pro-
cession was entirely composed OF citizens,
without music, as through misunderstand-
ing or lack of management no band and no
military appeared. The band of the 2lst
Infantry put in an appearance before the
close of the exercises. Rev. j. w. Miller,
of Oregon City, acted ms chaplain. Hon. N.
IL. Bloomfield delivered an address, which,
though it was able and well considered, was
regarded by many of his hearers as too con-
servative, as the ''mingling of the blue and
gray" cannot be made popular while the
gray are again grasping at the threats of the
blue. The speech of Col Edwin &. Mason
was quite radical enough to suit any of the
stalwarts, and had the ring in it that should
be heard all over the land in these times.
The exercises concluded, the people pro-
ceeded to scatter their floral offerings. The
excursionists wandered over the town, and
seemed to have good time of it. Some of
the Portland boys played game of base
ball with a Vancouver nine, in which the
latter were victorious by score of 80 to 35,
ten innings being played. The excursion
lists returned home at P NJ

REMEDY FOR PoIsov Next month will
be full of picnics and excursions, and the
usual number will return home with swol-
len hauds and faces caused by poison oak.
But DIR. S. Brown, U. $. ~, comes to their
relief with the following, which never fails
to cure. He says: Il have used it with
unwavering success in at least forty cases.
The eruption never extends after the first
thorough application, and it promptly begins
to diminish. Within "a hours, if the ap-
plication be persisted in, the patient is en-
tirely cured. | used the bronine dissolved
in olive GIL in cosmoline and in glycerine.
The application with glycerine is painful,
and think possesses no advantage to COM
pensate for irritation. The strength of the
solution is from 10 to 20 drops OF bromine to
an ounce of oil, and by rubbing gently the
affected part three or four times day, and
especially on going to bed at night, a cure is
speedily effected. The bromine is SO VIOLA
tile that the solution should he renewed
within "a hours OF its preparation"

40 REBELS, THANK YE..
(Mcmphis Aralanche.)

A good joke is circulating among
the boys In connection with the prize
military drill ut St. Louis In Septcm-
Der, in which the Chick&saw Guards
won the first prize. The Harries
Guards, tho crack company Of Day
ton, Ohio, had entered the lists early.
They proposed to show the assem-
bled thousands just what a Rrst-class
military company could do. Az each
visiting company arrived local com
pany met them at the depot to con-
duct them to quarters. The Harries
Guards came In one morning In all
tho glory Of brass buttons and plumes.
A detachment was on hand to receive
them.
Commander Of the detachment
stepped forward and shutting tho
Dayton captain, said: "Captain, 1
have the pleasure to announce that
you have been assigned quarters ut
the Fair Grounds next to the famous
Chickasaws Of Memphis. When
ready TO move ! shall BIZ pleased to
escort YOU aau
Dayton captain, drawing himself
up stiff as q ramrol, aud evidently
offended: Sir, ! don't want to camp
alongside n lot Of Southern rebels.
st. Louis captain, now slightly ION
his ear" Very sorry, sir; I didn't
know that "rebels" or politics had
anything to do with this thing. You
can use your own pleasure and find
quarters that suit you. Exit st.
Louis detachment. as
But the Spartan firmness Of the
Dayton man saved the Ha,ries Guards
from the calamity Of breathing the
same atmosphere inhaled by those
terrible rebels, the Chicks.
The Harries Guards roasted away
down about No. 10 in tho contest.
Though carrying away no prize they
escape contamination.
The incident seems to prove that all
the political lnnatics do not have their
washing done south Of the Ohio river.

DEATH OF THE PRINCE OF
BANDITS.
From tho London Telegraph.

Gasparone, once the terror Of his
countrymen az well ~ their pride,
died q few days ago, at tho ripe age
90, in the Casa del Poverj, at Abba
tegrassi, in Lombardy. In the good
old days Of Bomba, Gregory XVI. and
tho Archdukes, no was known
throughout Calabria the Campagna,
and Tuscany, in all Of which terri
tories he ut different times Piled his
perilous profession as the Prince Of
Briganils,' and the King Of the
Mountains When the Papal States
were annexed by Victor Emmanuel,
in 1870, Gasparonc was under a
cloud. He had for many years occu-
pied cascmatc in the Umbrian fort
ress Of San Leo, and as, according to
Italian law, his offense, was con-
doned by tho uncomfortable dnra-
ton Of his imprisonment, he got the
benefit Of the limitation statutes, and
was set ut liberty, being, at the time
Of his emancipation, over 50 years
old. He came to Rome and took up
his residence In the Transtevere ;
but as he, oddly enough, became tho
object Of successive popular ovations
which were considered ofense to
public morality, and, moreover,
caused serious disturbances IN the
streets, the Italian Government re.
solved to remove him from the Capt.
tai, and caused him to be transfer
red to Abblategrassi, where he has
just died, universally respected.
Gasparone was an exceedingly hand
some old gentleman, Of dignifed
hearing and exquisitely courteous
manners. During his honorable re-
tirement in the Casa del Povcri he
was wont to narrate with charming
frankness the thrilling exploits of his
younger days, and tenderly to de-
plore the rcprehensible obstinacy Of
some of his clients whose stubborn
ness in declining to pay up the sums
fixed by him for their ransom had
compelled him to treat them with q
severity as distressing to himself as it
could possibly be to them. He would
never admit that he had taken more
than % lives with his own hand upon
these more than sufficient grounds for
irritation and plumed himself parti
cularly upon having invariably been
a merciful as well as q just man.
Peace be to his ashes!

The feeling of distrust, abuse and
hate of the South in the Republicans
of the North exhibits all the symp-
toms of mania. 1t is full of irrele-
vancy, nationality and untruthful-
ness. Even your local elections Of
State, county, city and town officers
are dominated by this feeling of ha-
tired and distrust of the South. 1t is
found in your bar rooms, counting
houses and pulpits. 1t is beyond
reason, and, | fear, beyond remedy.
| see no evidence that the North
"is weary Of sectional STRIFE" The
Republican party lives on and thieves
by this sectional strife. Bad men
speculate on it, and demagogues ply
it as the best means Of getting Office.
