cause he prescribed some cooling medicine,
but the sores spread to my ears and head.

know all about the case, called it Kings
Evil" and prescribed gunpowder, brimstone.
and lard mixed into a salye; but the disease
continued. They could not do anything with
it. another prescribed borax, water and flour;
did me any good at all, but made me worse.
The disease continued unabated it spread to
my arms and legs, till was laid up entirely.
and from continually sitting on the floor on a
pillow my limbs contracted so that. lost all
control of them. and was utterly, helpless.
My mother would have to lift me out and into
bed. l could get around the house on my
hands and feet but could not get my. clothes
on at all. and had to wear sort Of dressing
gown Ny hair had all matted down or fall
len of. and my head, face, and ears were one
scab, and 1 had to have towel on my head

My parents consulted prominent physician
and surgeon here in chicago the other physi-

nothing for me. He wanted to cat the sinews
of my legs, SO that Ilcould walk; but would
not let him. for il / did get better would

In about two weeks l could stand straight,
but not walk, l was so weak, but my sores
were nearly we'll. As near as l can judge
the CuTICURA REMEDIrS cured me in about
six or eight weeks. and up to this date q. o.

A Portland Effort

At meeting OF the Portland board
Of trade last Monday evening, it was
decided to try and have passed at the
next meeting of the legislature, a bin
for for the purpose of improving the
reputation OF the ports of Astoria and
Portland.
The principal difference between
the bill, and statutes at present in
force, seems to be the comforting of
power of sheriff upon the harbor mas
ters who would be expected to en-
force the law in their respective ports.

SAN FRANCISCO April 80. - The Pacific
Coast Steamship Companys steamer. Queen Of
the Pacific, sank last night off Port Hartford, on
her way between this city and southern points.
All the passengers were saved, but this was
due mainly to the coolness of the Captain and
the calmness OF the sea. When about fifteen
miles from Port Hartford q leak was discovered.
and the steamer pump was set to work.
No hcadway was made, and the Captain de-
termined to land the passengers as soon as
possible. There were 125 passengers on board.
and for a few moments the panic was terrible.
Capt. Alexander. however, quieted them. forced
the engineers and firemen to stay at their
posts and then crowded on all steam to reach
Port Hartford
All the passengers and light baggage were
landed, and early, this morning the steamer
sank. Several of the passengers who were in
teryiewed said that they never expected to sec
