Columbus, Ohio, May 1e 1oos.
Some four years ago I was suffering
from impure blood and q general run
down condition of the system. Ihad no
appetite, was losing flesh, and had an ALL
gone tired feeling that made me 1nisera-
bic. I began the use of s.. S. s., and
after taking seven or eight bottles my skin
was cleared of all eruptions and took on q
ruddy, healthy glow that assured nethat
my blood had been restored to its nor
NAL, healthy condition. My appetite was
restored, as could eat any thing put be-
fore me, and as regained my appetite
increased in weight, and that ''tired feel
ing" which worried me so much disap-
peared, and was once again my old self.

The Victors.

| What need OF praise can fully recompense
These souls sublime that stood on battle
plain,
| And bravely faced the cannon belching death
The muslets' leaden rain.
Who snatched the flag from Treason's hands,
And bore it's starry folds thro' shot and shell
Preserved it pure, and kept it flying there,
Mid battle flames of hell?
Who shot, to everlasting death, Secession
rank,
That dared to lift aloft its hideous form.
And usher in of dark red-handed War.
The whirlwind and the storm?
Who for their country shed such precious
| blood,
| And gave their lives that it might still be
! free,
United, strong, one flag to float in heaven,
One flag on land and sea?
There is no recompense, there can not be,
At least by US for whom they died. Only
God
Can recompense these brave, heroic sons
That sleep beneath the sod.
On Southern plains, beneath the barren pines,
In ypress swamps, by marge of rivers deep,
Or in this silent city where we stand,
Wherever they may sleep.
God-only God-can fully recompense,
For only he could ever comprehend
The horrors and the pain which they endured
In bells of prison penned
Where our own blood lay starving day by
day
Guant haggard, ghostly forms that scarce
could sigh
Moved painful in their reeking vermin beds,
Then crept away to die.
Horrors infinite! Crimes unspeakable
But 10! all anger now has passed away,
All passion and resentment. Peace, calm
peace
Broods DER our land to-day.
Oh, blessed peace! that seals the cannon's
mouth,
Their harsh and cruel voices renders dumb,
And still, save on momentous days like this,
Shrill fife and throbbing drum.
Then bring the wreaths, bring garlands bright
and fair,
And strew the graves of these loved ones of
ours,
The honored dead; and let them rest benea tn
A wilderness of flowers

rain is really not wet. It is fact,
though, that there are no storms
and the rain appears to be healthful
for the only period of grip we had
last winter was during spell of dry
weather. No one ever gives up 90
ing anywhere on account of the
rain, and the women paddle around
in the wet and like it.
Just now the weather is ideal,
and everything is growing like corn
in August. Portland is called the
Rose City, and it deserves its name.
There are literally millions of roses
in bloom now. Rose bushes grow
to the tops of the houses, and each
is gay with blossoms.
Portland people are very enthusi-
astic about the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position, which will be held here
from June to October Is. The
Fair Site is wonderfully attractive,
the exhibit palaces being situated
among the trees at the crest of a
slope which leads to Guilds Lake,
body of water 22o acres in extent
which is enclosed within the Expo
sition fence. A peninsula of fifty
acres juts out into the lake from the
opposite shore and on this are stu
ated the five magnificent govern
ment buildings. Uncle Sam will

From Portland. Oregon.

To the JOURNAL They tell me
that there are $1,000 Wisconsin peo-
pie now living in Oregon, and | be-
lieve it; 1 have met nearly that many
since coming to Oregon six months
ago. This state has about half
million population now-one fourth
the population of Wisconsin-and
has resources to support twenty mil
lion people, | am told. Portland,
with 40, 1000 inhabitants, is more
than ten times as large as any other
town in the state, but there are
number of cities as large as Me-
nomonie, Manitowoc, Merrill, and
any number of villages. They tell
me that over in eastern Oregon,
where railroads are not numerous,
the country is rather wild, but all
that have seen of it is tame enough.
Portland is live town, and good
town. The people have absolute
confidence in their town, and expect
it to keep on growing forever.
They probably are right; for the
city has an excellent fresh-water
harbor, distant about 100 miles from
the ocean, and its water connections,
by the Willamette and Columbia
rivers, will be forever regulator of
freight rates.
Portland is situated on the Villa
mette river, twelve miles from the
junction of that stream with the
Columbia. The latter stream, from
the place where it joins the Villa
mette to the mouth, is larger than
the Mississippi, and discharges more
water. From the junction up to the
Dalles, another hundred miles, the
stream is narrower than the Missis-
sippi is between La Crosse and St.
Paul, but is deeper, and has only one
channel. On either side of the river
there are steep hills, with mountains
rising in the distance, and the trip
up the river is a beautiful one.
This morning | examined big
wall map and found that Portland is
in the same latitude as Rhinelander;
and yet last winter there were only
few days when the thermometer
registered freezing weather, and on
these days the natives made more
fuss about the cold than Wisconsin
people do when the tears run down
their cheeks and icicles hang from
THAR chins. One man actually
claimed that he had an ear frozen,
but he failed to show proofs. 1t
showed twice, and the oldest in
habitants wondered, while the livery
men celebrated by charging FIVE
dollars an hour for sleighs.
I have been disappointed in only
one thing since coming out here. |
have found that the stories about
Oregon being land of agricultural
plenty, where any man may make a
decent living, and any Industrious
man may get rich, ere literally true,
but the stories of the rainfall are
exaggerations. OF course it rains,
and sometimes it rains several times
a week; but the normal weather is
like our Indian summer in Wiscon-
sin. Oregon people claim that the
