A Good Housewife
The good housewife when she is giving her
house Its spring renovating; should bear in
mind that the dear inmates of her house are
more precious taan many houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by purifying the
blood, regulating the stomach and bowels to
prevent and cure the diseases resulting from
spring malaria and miasma, and she must
know that there is nothing that will do it as
perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest
and best of medicines. See other column.

A Guild TURNED INTO Stone
The most extraordinary case of seller.
ma, or petrifying of the skin, known
in medical history, was made the
subject of a medical clinic in CIeve
land, Ohio, on the 2lst of January.
The case was tnat of child brought
there from New Philadelphia, and it
is becoming literally a petrified child.
The flesh is as cold and hard almost
as marble, and while the child, which
is nearly three years old, continues
to live, it can only move its lips and
eyes. 1t has none of the warmth
and pliability Of human flesh, and
sleeps with it's eyes open, presenting
most ghastly spectacle. Until six
months ago it was in perfect health.
The disease is one of the connecting
tissues between the skin and flesh,
whose origin is unknown. but is sup
posed TO be caused by a perverted
nutrition. This is the thirty fifth
case discovered, and is au important
one, inasmuch as no instance has
heretofore been known where the
entire body was affected. The child
must die, as complete petritication
will ensue.

THE YAouINA BAY MEMORIAL PRESENTED
IN THE SENATE

Slater presented memorial signed by the
governor and other officials and several
Thousand citizens of Oregon praying an ap-
preparation of S250,00O for the improvement
of the entrance of Yaquina Bay. The me-
mortal asserts that by development of that
important harbor the resources of the neigh
boring districts will open up a tract of fertile
country between the bay and the William
cite valley exceeding 100000 acres.
From private advices we learn
that there is good prospect of our
fondest hopes being realized, in re-
gard to the Yaquina Bay appropria,
tion. Gen. Walker, chairman of the
national Democratic committee ia.
vors it strongly, and we believe the
Democratic Congress also sees that
unless this appropriation is made,
that their party has but little show
of carrying Oregon in the fall for the
Democratic candidate for President.
There is no doubt that. this view of
the situation is eminently correct,
as a large portion of the Willamette
valley will so square back on the

emily made. We have every reason
to believe that our Congressional
delegation are doing all in their pow
er to bring about the much needed
result. But we feel constrained to
caution our people about allowing
themselves to become too much elat-
ed over the prospects, for we may
yet fall. And if we do, we will
buckle on the armor again and enlist
all the old veterans, and as many re-
cruits as We can muster, for another
campaign. We are not going to
give up the fight. We will not sur
render, nor be driven from our posi-
tion. We must succeed, if not now,
in the future. This great work must
-be-arcomplished, and to this end,
we propose to lend our public aid,
continually, until victory is ours.

obstacles be removed at the Bay,

of as many days, andwith one-tenth

Ex.Gov. Garcelon was before the
Hale committee to-day, and in the
course OF his testimony said that he
took the facts from his councils
reports. We have to do many things
on the testimony of others. I did
not have breath of suspicion of the
council. I must confess to being
somewhat guilty of neglect in not
looking more closely into the matter.
For the statements he had made in
public and private he had relied on
the inspection and Judgment of his
council. On the l7th OF November
a committee called upon him, saying
that they feared that certain parties
had access to the returns. He was
indignant at this, and pnt the ques-
tion directly to his council, who
stated positively that no outside
party had seen the returns.
