Oregonians are peculiarly susceptible to
humbuggery, and the following, from the
Oregon City Courier. is the latest method
employed to "gulr" them: "a slick
tongued stranger has been travelling around
the country 10 the vicinity of Springwater
selling what he called japonica plants at 81
each. The agent is very careful of the
plants, which he carried IN basket. and
insisted on setting them out himself when
sold, and gives explicit Instructions in re-
gard to their care and culture. After day
or so the plants die aud on examination it il
found that they are the common salal bush
vanished. At one place where be stopped
he sent to town for some shellac varuish,
and afterwards was seen making more 81
salal bushes"

Talk of a ReyoIutrun.

QUEzELTENANeo, Guatemala, Oct. 90
1t is known that the opponents of
President Barrios have distributed over
500 rifles 10 the rural districts within q
fortnight. The concentration of troops
BY Mexico on the frontier has aroused
fear among the people. The reports of
spies sent here by Barrios have evidently
frightened him.
1t is positively known that President
Bsrries is sending agents throughout the
country to pacify the people, who are
tired of bis government.
1he movement of troops toward the
frontier continues, notwithstanding de-
malls by the government. If war ia

Japanese have been sent to Japan. At
Ping Yang there are 1900 wounded Chr

The Dreamer.

The celebrated individual in Portland
who, in the midst of the visions of the night
saw the express robbery in this city arrived
here on the train yesterday. He located
the place. and with the consent OF the
owner began to dig tor the buried treasure.
With spade and pick he went at his work
with full consciousness of success crown
ing his efforts, and the whole became deeper
and deeper. After three hours arduous
labor his pick struck against something
which gave forth sharp sound, which he
thought must be the golden specie. He
satisfactorily rested and smoked his pipe
In the firm belief that he would unravel the
mystery and win the 81, 500 reward. With
renewed energy he continued and soon ex-
posed to view an old piece of iron that had
been imbedded in the ground for the best
part of century. He dug on for little
while. and then gave mp in disgust. 1t is
presumed that he will place himself in
proper condition, and, like, "Peter Ibbet-
son" dream straight next time. In the
meantime the mystery will remain unsolved.

The Doctors Disagree.

PARIS, Oct. 90 A council of ministers
was held at Elysee palace today
Premier Dupuy notified the council he
was in receipt of telegraphlc advices
stating there was slight improvement in
the czar's condition.
Early this afternoon a dispatch from
st. Petersburg announces the latest re-
ports received there from Livldia state
that although the czar is still alive, be
has rapidly weakened. A striking fact
IN connection with tue czar's illness is the
difference of opinion regarding the exact
nature of the malady from which he is
suffering. Figaro, for instance, today
declares the symptoms disagree with the
usual symptoms of kidney disease.
Professor Sacbarjin was convinced 1t was
caneercus and impossible to operate
upon. This was his ground for recently
Informing the czar he could not possibly
live, as the disease was 1ncurable.
Professor Leyden. however. was more
optimistic, and, after a careful study OF
the symptoms of the czar's trouble ex,.
pressed the belief it was true a tumor
existed, but he added il was of benign
nature and curable. Figaro makes the
startling statement the czar has been
badly nursed, and the arrangements for
his care were quite of primitive nature.
This statement is somewhat unkind as it
is known the cars most assiduous nurse
has been the czsrina, who, according to
rumor, has broken down under the strain
of attending continually upon her dying
husband. LIZ Temps says there is not a
corner of France where prayers have not
been offered up for the recovery of the
czar. The czar, since the fetes at Toulon
following the arrival there of the Russian
squadron under Admiral Avillan,. has
every where IN the French republic been
considered as literally of France.
The National Zeitung says M. Hano-
tsux, minister OF foreign affairs, has
received news that the czar died last
night, and that be is withholding the
dispatch until the news is confirmed by
the Russian embassy here. The officials
at the foreign Office declare that no such
dispatch has been received.
