A large and well-assorted stock of men's boot, men's women's, and child ren's shoes of all kinds carefully selected by Mr. Giltaer in San Francisco now ar riving and to arrive at McBride's store. Especial care has been taken to get the very best goods in the market C2TH yot want a deed, mortgage or power of attorney executed properly, call on F. A. Moore, Notary Public, St Helen, Oregon. Anything to kill " Grant" was the watchword of the Republican clique, alias Bastards of the St, Helen Ring when they went in to nominate dele gates to the County Convention. Con yers apportioned the County, cutting down outside precincts, and raising Rainier and Union Precincts so Grant alias Blanchard should be beaten. The political murder of Blanchard was plan ned, and consummated, and yet right on the heels of this the ring has the cheek to demand his support and that of his friends. Verily they have cheek that beats anything in that line we ever knew. These mutual ad mi ration ists' chief characteristic is stupidity, and they have so much conceit they think all their little plans will escape detection. They are like an ostrich who sticks its head under a bush,' and thinks to elude its pursuers when its rump is sticking out ( bj the way the principal part of the St. Helen Ring). But, thank God ! the the days of the ring are numbered, the Muckles are growing very round-shouldered, they can't straighten up. The news are of the most cheering nature, the report is out that from the St. Hel en line to Multnomah Co. the people will go solid for Adams. The ring is still, the pll of silence has fallen on it. But let our friends work, trust nothing to chance. Labor while it is day. Scap poose, Enterprise Landing, and Oak Point are almost solid for Adams. Is'it it glorious ? Conyers has gone down the river like the Devil sowing tares. He had letter sew up the tears in the seat of his breeches, or lie may take cold in the place where his intellect lies. Everybody is bound to give the old Major a lift. The little mutual admira tion society of St Helen will have its conceit taken out of it oil Monday. It will be like the fellow chat took a sleigh ride. He could not get a sleigh nor a horse, so he got a bucket of ice-cold wa ter, set it down Whind the barn, sat on a milking stool put his naked feet in the water, and tinkled a string of sheep bells, or like the boy .that courted a girl at a distance across the river, signalling her with his hands, whose feelings lecame so absorbed, he came near floating away and undoubtedly would, if his brother Jack had not called him off. Their lord ships of St Helen will have like the boy to depend on the resources they already have. In Union Precinct and Scappoose a lone are a hundred votes for Adams. His is no partisan fight All Republi cans in the county outside of the little malodorous ring in St Helen will vote for him. The Democrats will not cro back on him, thev never have, and never will. The St Helen Renublican cliaue tried to make us believe they were our only friends, and while we believed it we were weak, but when we swam off from them, we found our strength in creased, and the number of our friends increased, and our Democratic friends have always been true. They have triec to increase our purse, assist us in mak ing a living, and built us up, while these pretended friends have tried to hedge us up, in every way of which their weak envious dispositions were capable. - Char ley Capias says he is our friend, but he don't want us to have an office or even bread for our family. Hell is full of such friends. What a friend we have in Caples, All our griefs and sins to bear. These people with to many faces un der one hood, are running out of faces, lo and behold their memory stinketh like the dead pig behind Muckle's barn. The St Helen ring is wholly governed by envy. Their little souls ( ten million of which could dance on the pint of a cambric needle) cannot conceive any thing that has the stamp of magnanim ity on it, but they are found out and all their tricks exposed. We have ben be hind the scenes. They are like the wooden cannon on the mounds around Williamsburg in the war of 1861, but they can't scare the true soldiers. We stand where we always did j the Republican party in Columbia Co. has raised the flag of St George, and if the candidates of the Muckle Ring are elected, Columbia Co. will e an nexed to Canada, and James and Charles Muckle will probably be knighted or be nighted, we don't know which; we believe we appeal to men not things, and ?now dear friends, act like men on election day. If you vote for the St. Helen ring, put on cues, like Chinamen, and say " O Muckle, live forever and bow in the dust, and be slaves that is all is wanted of you. You are wanted to tax, to grind, to use, to strip, to skin, nor will you . have to wait long, your chains are forging, your indentures are being written out and you will soon hear If you don't like to be slaves, wo will get Chinamen." We say to those of Enterprise Land ing and Coffin Rock, the papers to jump your tide-laud are all made out, the mo ment the N. P. R. R. locates a town in in your vicinity, and the ring gets in power. Shut their wind off, vote for Adams, ijo railroad ring, no St. Helen ring own him or will. Our lelief is in the intelligence and patriot ism of the masses. If the county is saved, the workingmen have got to do it. Io Triumphe ! Adams will be elect ed. He is the winning horse, those lit tle; put up jobs of the ring conventions will not work. They are dead and dam ned and so lct.it be, and all the people shall say Amen." Mr. Conyers found a mare's nest last Saturday,! but the eggs were all rotten. He will save them for that bottomless rocking-chair, and set on them in Clats kanie, ana hatch out a stink " when this cruel war is over. " He thought our lvig roller was gone to Portland, and we could uotj issue any papers. He didn't know we. had a little proof-roller, we could use on private occasions, though for papers that went to the public we did not like to use it With the proof -roller we could tnke a few impressions for private parties, but where the whole had to lej served we needed something bigger. He said we had made a false affidavit, and he was going to complain of us, and have the Grand Jury take hold of us. He is the knight of the dark lantern as his ancestor was knight of 'the back-stairs.. Verily blood will tell. j For trick that ar dark Ami for ways that are vain. The heathen Chinee in peculiar. 1 When j Conyers swore out his com plaint against Camp1ell for illegal vot ing, the complaint lay eight or ten days because he lold Kearney that Camplell did not live here, but would In in St. Helen on the 4th of July; this was done to try to disgrace Campbell 1cfore the assembled multitude on thnt day set apart to celebrate ! human rights. Then was witnessed the sickening sight of a free American citizen with manacles on his wrists. Conyers told ft respectable citizen of the county UampWU had im posed on him by electioneering against him veand that was all the way he could get; even on him. When Campbell come back to St Helen after lcing re leased, a certain person in a certain store asked Conyers what they had done with j Joe. ' Let him go. " said Conyers, but j it will Kirn him to not electioneer for people toe don't want elected." This drive was at us, because he thought Camplell had worked for us for our election as Justice of the Peace. . Hon. J. F. Copies is running for Prose cuting Attorney. Mr. Caples is an able honorable man, and a great friend of ours. He has stood by us in some try ing ti ties, and whipped out our enemies, and let no one deem what we say as prompted by partisanship; we regard Mr. Caples as no party man when jus tice calls. We need not heap him with praise, the inhabitants of Columbia Co. cherish Caples in their heart of hearts, andfwilbgivchim a splendid majority notwithstanding Mr. Strode, who is run ning against him, is a gentleman and a scholar, j McGinness by his arrest for stealing a boat and by Conyers and Tom Watts swearing he was insane, after that great medical light of the Nineteenth Century, Mr. Dr. 0. G. Caples, Esq., M. D., had pronounced him sane, increased the gro cery store of the Conyers family, and gave a boat back in which Conyers can go up Salt River. Nothing like a reach ing disposition. We knew a man got a ham the same way; he was a poor crea ture. i " The mutual admiration society of St. Helenare awful smart, let them tell it," as old Abe Birroughs says; but they will be left sitting on a cold stone on E- lection day, and will issue General Or der No. 999 for a day of mourning for their defeat from the hands of that, "bloody blawsted saulvage," Major Ad ams. We shall not back down, we have too cod a thing. Victory is in the air. The huzzas of the ring-smashers and the wail of the smashed fill the jubilant at mosphere. i The battle will rage till after election and then! Major Adams will come out ike old Genl Hooker at Williamsburg begrimed with smoke ar.d mud but vic torious. ; Cole when he was elected to the Leg islature, paid a boy a quarter of a dollar to show him where the State House was.

To how many states and territories can a person belong at the same time What is the ruling of the ring ? The ring are warning the public of spurious tickets. They will find lots of their tickets sjtew riovm. It will make people so sick they will puke them out. James Muckle has had a misconcep tion of his popularity. He has just found out how popular he is. He had better run for " orfis." LOCAL ITEWS7 George H. Heather, telegraph-operator at Oak Point, W. T. was at St. Helen on a visit He was with us in the army in Virginia, and nfter the war with the gallant Custer on the Plains. He is a whole-souled fellow and splendid com pany. We have never met anyone we liked any better. Ho will work for us in Oak Point Precinct, and carry it for Adams. Io triumphe. More Room. The store-room at the 7VfjyAirllou.se, has leen leased by G. W. McBride for a ware-house and is being fitted up with groceries, provisions and crockery. The demand from local merchants for more room is a sign of the increasing prosper ity of St, Helens. A brother of Mr. Jacob George h'is arrived from England with his wife and two children, also uuother gentleman. This Mr. George is, we understand a master-builder by trade. Development of The Northwest. Perhaps no more beautiful and graph ic description of the great Northwest was ever made than that ot Hon. M, 0. George, of Oregon, in tho House of Representatives last Tuesday, ( Apr. 4. ) Mr. George was peculiarly happy in his reference to tho fertility, resources, and extent of that great country, which, he stated, embraced an area of 300,000 square miles. Oregon alone, according to Mr. George, is " equal to all New England, and two-thirds of tho Empire State thrown in. It is larger than the great States of New York and Pennsyl vania combined, and is much laigcrthan either Ohio and Pennsyl vania, or Indiana and Illinois, laid side by side. Oregon is half as large as old England, over tx times as large as Switzerland, a)out eight times the size of Holland, and nearly nine times as large as Belgium. Were Oregon settled as thickly as Ohio, our population would bo over seven and one half millions ; or as Pennsylvania, we would have over eight and one half millions ; or New York, over ten mil lions ; or Switzerland, over thirteen millions ; or France, about eighteen mil lions ; or Holland, alout twenty-seven millions ; or our mother country, Eng land probably over fifty millions, or as many as are now in all the United States of America.'' Besides a vast extent of country, Oregon, says Mr. George, " has the three essential conditions: first, a climate warm enough to ripen crops, and secure the comfort of man and beast; second, a soil of natural fertility ; and third and last, sufficient moisture to render tke soil productive " Mr. George elaborates as to these essentials, and shows a country well "capable of fur nishing sustenance and prosperous and happy homes for the teeming millions of a future." We do not remember to have seen a more graphic grouping of facts illustrative of the resources and capabilities of any country than this of Mr. George, which is made for the pur pose of showing the importance of im proving the natural water courses of that country. Certainly Congress should be liberal in making appropriations for a country blessed with so many natural advantages, and capable of sustaining so great a population, Sunday Chronicle, U ash i nj ton, D.

Golden Rule. Much apprehension has been occa sioned throughout America from the an- nquncement made by Professor Proctor that the return in nineteen years of the great comet of last summer will cause the destruction of the earth. But while people are becoming so strangely exer cised over this announcement, jan event of far more serious importance, which is taking place to-day, seems to be almost wnollv overlooked. The nature of this most vital subject can Ik? best explained iy relating the following experiences : Bishop E. O. Haven, known to tin entire land, was unaccountably awak ened one night out of sleep, and lay awake until morning. His mind seemed unusually active, and '.he not only re viewed his past life, which had been an eventful one, but laid extensive plans for the future. He did not feel espec ially ill, but could not account for the unusual activity of his brtin, nor for tho restlessness which seemed to possess him. But try as he would the shadow of some evil seemed to follow him, and he was conscious of a gradual sinking and wast ing away of all his physical faculties. Ho had been an earnest and diligent worker, and m his zeal frequently. over taxed his strength, and leing absorled in his duties failed to observe the contmon symptoms with which he was afflicted, thus permitting the work of destruction to go on unheeded. But the end finally came in a most peremptory j manner. Shortly before his death he wrote a let ter the last one he ever indited in which he speaks as follows : " A belief that death is near affects different minds dif ferently, but probably all who are in a fair condition of physical and mental strength instinctively shrink from it with an undelinable dread and horror. A dying man is no more able of himself tc foresee his own destiny or the destiny of those he leaves than he was before he began to die." j - The recent snd and sudden! death of Hon. Clarksou N. Potter is ojie of tli must serious warnings ever given in the long list of innumerable eases' of fatal neglect It is not sulliceut to say that many other brilliant men, including Ev erett, Sumner, Chase, Wood, Wilson, ar.d Carjenter, were swept away by the same tatal trouble, lhe oueahon is. wrc these men sufficiently Careful of their health, and con hi they have leeu saved I lhe Aloany Aryunt ln speakmg of Mr. Potter" sudden illness and death. says : ' y- " One. of tlltf pny-lcaiis wlic Mr. letter h"n w,v.j i.itorviewe attended list ove lg. Htt Stated that Mr. Potter's ina bility to converse had for some time served to Infflo tho physicians in their efforts to determino the root 6f the ill ness. It seems, however, that Mr. Pot ter, some two years ago, MifXered a slight attack of kidney disease. Unwise de pendence upon a robust constitution and naturally perfec t health, and leglect of proper clothing, doubtless sowed th soinls of a disease that needed but som sush person! neglect as that of Tuesday morning to develop. From the symp toms at first shown, it was thnlught that his only trouble was nervous prostration; but his long continuance in a senn-un- conscions state led to the belief that his illness was seated in a chronic difficulty more serious and daugerom. Up to the latter part of last year Mr. Edward F. Hook, a memler of the New York stock exchange, was doing busi ness in Wall street, New York. He had everything to encourage him, and make life happy, but was the j victim of unaccountable uneasiness. His experi ence .as descriled by one who knew, was a'i follows : " At unexpected times, and on occasions when ho had the greatest reason to feel joyous he was irritable and haunted with strange feelings of discontent He endeavored .to check these feelings and appear pleasant, but iti required a great effort to do so ; af ter which he would again relapse into his former morbid mood. This feeling continued for a number of. months, when he became conscious of an added sensa tion of lassitude He was tired even when restting and although experiencing no acute pain, had dull, aching sensa tion in his limbs and various parts of his body. Shortly afterward his head began to ache most frequently and his stomach failed to digest properly. Be ing told that he was suffering from ma laria he consulted an eminent physician, who informed him that his kidneys were slightly affected, and gave him medicine td restore' them. But he grew worst) instead of better. He then consulted other eminent doctors of another school and was informed tht he had a brain difficulty somewhat in the nature of a tumor, but in spite of all efforts to the contrary he continued to grow worse. At thia time his condition was terrible. What were at first simple symptoms had de veloped to terrible troubles, j He was flished and feverish, constantly uneasy, and yet always weary. He had an in tense appetite one aay ana very hiub the next His pulse was irregular, his breathing labored, and every moment of existence was a burden. These disas trous svmptoms continued, his lody le- came discolored, his heart was irregular ui its action, and his breath came in 1 ort convulsive gasps.

It is one of the most deceitful maladies ever known to the human race. It manifests itself ,y symptoms so slight and common, as to seem unworthy of attention ; and yet these very insignificant symptoms nre the first stages of the worst complaint known in the history of tho world. Thousands of people have died from troubles that are called heart disease apoplexy, pneumonia, brain fever, and similar diseases, when it was, in f ict Bright's disease of the kidneys. The ravages of this disease have been great ly increased from the fact that un il. re cent years no way was known to prevent its beginning nor check its increase when it had In-come once fixed upon the sys tem. Within the past two years, how ever, wehav. learned of more than four hundred pnTnounce.d casrs of .Bright's disease, yuiauv of tlieni much worse Thin tho.se above described, ahd most of whom had been given up by prominent physicians, who have been completely cured.
