The Head of the House Of Bonaparte

Its strange for the physiognomist to
contemplate in Prince Napoleon the fes-
lures Of the great hero Of the race. Fate
had destined him to live the life Of an
oLScnrc domestic tyrant. He ls separat-
ID from his gentle wife. He confines
himself entirely to small apartment of
three or four rooms III the vast palace Of
the Palais Royal, and there he potter
on, scol(ling the servants, criticisfng the
Republic, Withdrawn from all society,
and entleavoring to attune the mind of
bis eldest son to the everlasting theme
ofthe glory Of the race. ''Our great mis-
tortune," answers the 10y, ''is not that
We have 10 few friends, but that We have
NJ enemies" And the boy, fresh from
his college studies, is in the right.

A CITY IN RUINS.
SIXTY THOUSAND FAMILIES MADE
HOMELESS BY THE CYCLONE AT
MANILA.

MADRID, Oct. 24.-An official dis
patch from Manila, dated the 21st
instant, states that the typhoon de-
stroyed all the wooden and thatch-
ed houses and carried away the iron
and tiled roofs of the others. Sixty
thousand families are homeless.
The barracks, hospitals, government
Offices and factories were destroyed.
The loss Of life, however, was relat-
lively small. Malasan and Boulacan
were also devastated Communica-
ton is interrupted between Manila
and the other towns on the Island
of Luzon.
Manila, the capital city of the is
land of Luzon and of the whole
Philippine archipelago, is situated
on the Rio Pasig, near the bay OF
Manila. It's population is about
10000, one-tenth being Spaniards
and Creoles, and the remainder
Tagalas and Chinees. The city is
one of the most important ports OF
the East-by law the sole emporium
of foreign trade with the Spanish
East Indies. 1t exports vast guam
titles ofsugar, tobacco, cigars, hemp,
coffee, indigo, copper and gums, and
imports all kinds of cloths, manu-
factured irons, liquors, etc, 1t con-
tains many important educational
institutions, including the universi.
ties of St. Thomas and ST. John, and
royal marine school. The city
was founded by the Spaniards in
1871. 1t has recently been visited
by destructive storms, earthquakes
and plaques.

The jury in Mrs. Scoville's in
sanity case returned verdict last
Friday declaring her to be insane.
She was seen to leave the court at 4
o'clock with her little daughter
Bertha and has since been missing.
1t is believed that she feared that
the verdict would be unfavorable
and determined on the spur of the
moment to get out of the way. 1t
was learned that she took the train
Friday night and has fed the State.
A sensation was caused by the dis
covery, as it is feared that the poor
woman may actually develop
dangerous symptoms from excite
ment. Later, lis surmised that her
brother John furnished her money
to leave the country. A still later
dispatch reports Mrs. Scoville at
London, Ontario, registered under
an assumed name. She is stopping
at the Tecumseh house, and says
the only object she had in fleeing
was to get beyond the jurisdiction
of the Illinois courts.

GEN. HOODS ORPHANS.

| The following letter of informa
ton as to the whereabouts and con
dition of the orphan children of Gen
Hood will be pleasingly interesting
to many of our readers:
WEsTcHEsTER, N. Y, Sept. 90, 1882
B. Burns, Esq, Sec. Hoods Texas Brigade,
Houston, Texas:
DEAR SIR I write id behalf of my
brother-in-law, Mr.: John A. Morris,
whose health for some months past has
been souncertain as to Interfere mate
rally with his Correspondence He de-
sires me to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 28th of April last, and
to give you,aas you request, some infor-
nation regarding the children of the
late Gen Hood. These arc all, l am hap
py to say. exceedingly well-placed. The
eldest twin girls, of - years of age, are
being educated by Mr.. Morris himself
In Hanover, Germany, whence his own
children have returned after a sojourn
there of several years. John Belt, the
eldest boy, ten years old, has been ad-
opted by Mr.. and Mrs Russell, of Mis-
sissippi, and we frequently receive the
best accounts of his health aud happi-
ness. Duncan Norbert, aged nine years,
is now at school near Saratoga, N. Y,
where his expenses are paid by Miss
Furness, wealthy maiden lady of New
Y York, with whom he spends his vaca-
tions at her beautiful home near Lenox,
Mass. Lillian and Marian, twin girls
of eight years, are the adopted and he.
loved children of Mr.. and Mrs. Thatch-
er, of New York city, and Odile and
Ida, aged six years, also twins, have
been taken by Mr.. and Mrs. McGee, of
Woodville, Miss, where they have a
very lovely and happy home. Oswald,
the next in order, a boy of five years,
has been adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
ney, of New York, who last summer
took the child to visit ali his fathers re-
latives in Kentucky, and who are de-
votedly attached to their young charge.
Anna Gertrude, the youngest, after hav-
ing been taken by Mrs. Josephs, Of
Georgia, died two years since from
teething, aged about one year. All
those who have adopted these children
are themselves chIldless, save only Mr..
and Mrs. Morris, and thus the little boys
and girls have the undivided love and
devotion of their new parents. They
are each and every one fine children,
handsome intelligent and full of char
acter, and there is every reason to be
lieve that they will do honor to their
blood and make fine men and women. |
remain, dear sir, very truly yours,
EVA HENNEN HARDING.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS

are never initiated or counterJeited. This
is especially true of family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy
initiated is of the highest value. AS
soon as it had been tested and proved by
the whole world that Hop Bitters was
the purest, best and most valuable fam
ily medicine en- earth, many limitations
sprung up and began To steal the notices
in which the press and people of the
country had expressed the merits of FL.
B., and in every way trying to induce
suffering invalids to use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money ON the
credit and good name of ii. B. Many
others started nostrums put up in sim
liar style to Ell. B with variously de-
vised names in which the word Hop
or Chops" were used in way to induce
people to believe they were the same as
Hop Bitters. All such pretended rem
edies or cures, no matter what their
style or name is, and especially those
with the word Hop or Hops" in
their name or in any way connected
with them or their name, are limitations
or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch
nomn of them. Use nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters, with bunch or cluster of
green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers
are warned against dealing in imita-
tions or counterfeits.

The examination of Lieu. Danen-
hover, before the Jeanette Board
of Inquiry, has been going on in
Washington City during the past
week. An interesting feature in
the proceedings was the introduct-
inc in evidence of the original mus
ter-rolI and charts, with the tin
cases in which they were carried by
Capt. De Longs party through
their desperate and hopeless wand
erings in Siberia. The papers all
bore marks of fsevere usage to which
they had been subjected, and sever
al were almost entirely illegible.

SCHOOL-BOOK Law.

The late Democratic County Convention
adopted as one of the min rlanhs of their
platform the following:
1--WE favor all amendment of the present
school book law"
In what way do they want it amended:
Do they desire an amendment in such way
that the kinds of books can be changed
much oftener than heretofore, or So that II
poorer quality of book can be forced unon
the reople in order that those holding n
moncpnly Of the book adopted can the better
fill their own pockets and rob the people?
The plank above alluded to, in which the
Democratic party declares that they are in
favor of amending the school book law. is
what their legislative ticket is pledged to do
in the event they should be successful at
the polls An amendment is all the PEOPLE
could expect of them, IN any event. As to
what that amendment would be the people
are in the dark. In fact, you cannot amend
such a law so as to make it any better for
the people. Every time it is amended it
makes it more burdensome and oppressive
than before for the people to comply with.
The only purpose this law has ever served
is to burden and oppress the people and re-
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1882-05-12


tard the progress of education among the
jpoor. The only way to relieve the people
from this system of robbery is to repeal the
law and entirely blot it off from our statute
books.
The Republican p rty of this county came
out square on this subject, and placed them
selves in position to be understood beyond
any doubt by declaring that Ave regard
the present school book law as an oppres-
sive monopoly, and demand It's uncondition-
al repeal" Such is the attitude of the Re-
publican party, in unmistakab.c terms, on
the school !-book fraud. Il the people want
4, the law amended Sc as to entail upon them
and their posterity the obligation of forever
complying with this law, AM also prevent
ing those who are unable to purchase the
books from receiving the benefits of educa-
ton, they should vote for the Democratic
nominees the legislative ticket OF this
|county. But, on the other hand, if the
people desire a legislative ticket elected that
will use its utmost endeavor to repea! The
law, and thus take this unjust bur.len of
from the peoples shoulders. they should
vote for the Republican ticket.
