A IJn.WE Enui.ishm.vx. An English
man with the very imheroic and prose
name of Cropper, coming as a tourist to
Oregon on the last trip of the Idaho, did a
deed of daring on the voyage which might
add luster and laurels to the name of a
lSaynrd or Sydney. A negro waiter, with
jiiiiiidul intent, jumped overboard just
outside the "heads'.' oil' the Golden Gate.
Cropper bravely plunged after him and
made an attempt to save him, but failed.
Atnlmut this time a soldier, filled up with
whiskey, thought to signalize himself,
:uid he jumped overboard, with no partic
ularly 'definite object in view, so that
three" men were struggling in the water
together. A boat was lowered and recov
ered Cropj-r and the soldier, but the ne
gro sank before aid reached him. It i-s a
very hazardous uudcrdaking to jump in
to a rough sea, and the pliilaiitlirophic
motive which inspired Mr. Cropper and
the whi.-key which prompted the soldier,
are worthy of great commendation an J re
spect. Who was i r? T!i3 Stan -lard of last
Sunday says: During the tirst part cf the
week Mr. J. W. P.ottoni arrived in this
city from Skippanon, in search of a hoie.
Durir-g the tirst of April 1377, while living
near Milwaukee, one of his horses tlissp
1 -eared and diligent search wasjnade but
failed to find him. In a few months he
moved down the Columbia, giving the
matter in charge of a gentleman in Ore
gon City, who kept a sharp look-out.
Aliout ten days ago Mr. llottom received
woid that the long lost animal hail been
found, lie went to Oregon City, recover
ed the animal, and now steps are being
taken to ascertain where the animal has
been kept and who the party was who
stole it from the farm, which will probably
bring forth some startling developments
in horse raising in Clackamas county.
Retired i-i:om Eusixess. We regret to
announce that Mr. 15. A. Hughes lias con
cluded to retire from business in this city,

a thorough business man and an upright

regret Ids retirement. We understand
that Mr. Hughes has purchased an inter
est in Mr. Theodore Clark's invention and
will proceed shortly to England to secure
a 1 atent tor that country am; see wnat can
lie done in the matter. 'Factory men say
there is a big thing in the invention, and
we hope Messrs. Clark tfc Hughes will re
alize handsomely from it.
Sandy. A correspondent of the Stand
ard from Sandy says: Crops look remark
ably well this vear : harvesting has com
menced in good earnest j fine weather for

fruit here this vear. If anyone wants
home, here is the place for them: good
l .nil and plenty of it to be taken v et. We

one g'- ist mill and one saw mill. Of course
the improvements are small yet, but thev
are growing all the time, and soon we will
ouite a town here. Girls are wanted here

OREC40X Ahead. The Kansas Commis
sioner to the Paris Exposition writes to a
journal in his State: "There is but one
'State display' in the Exposition, and that
is Oregon. A circular place about ten or
twelve feet in diameter, has a pyramid
entirely constructed of the woods of Ore
god and tilled with the agricultural growth
of that State. It includes samples of all
kinds of grains, preserved meats, lish,
fruits, etc., and is very creditable and the
cost is not great. I wish Kansas had even
that much."

'u!a Springs Letter.
Editor E.nteui'uise. Like our Eola
fiiends, for fear we may bo forgotten, will
just make a few dottings. We will com
mence at the Soda Springs and mention a
few things that happened ti.ere on the
Fourth of July. In time with the music
appeared the 'Marshal of the Day on his
gay black steed, and having set tilings in
order, proceeded to the speaking ground.
A prayer was ottered by Mr. Murdock,
after which the Declaration of Independ
ence was lvail by your fellow townsman
Hon. II. White. The address delivered
was excellent, and the music fine. All
things went otf lovely until late in the af
ternoon, when it became apparent that the
brewers had use J more hop. in their beer
than was necessary for fermentation. The
Marshal was obliged to invite one young
man to take a back seat, and the Constable
having taken another one under his guar
dianship order was restored. A man who
had evidently drank too freely of the soda
water (?) was shown the door of the danc
ing haU and most ot the uist nice iinwn
stairs was done on his hsad. Another
found elegant hotel accommodations for
the night in t' e corner ot a tencj. jo
mucli for the "Liger Deer Saloon."
Fi.zleville has honored herself bv dis
pensing with the liquor tratlic.
it is my opinion that it we could nave a
fair chance and a full reoi esentalion at the
ballot box we could get that new court
louse that is being talKcd of for Clacka
mas county. I'ut some say that, will never
do, fur it would be a death blow to Oregon
CUv.
A good joke is told of one ot our candi
dates for oilice at the last county election.
Supposing he might have some use tor a
compass, and seeing a man pass with a
horse-faiiiie no tried to mai-:e a purchase;
but the gentleman couldn't see it. If any
ono doubts this 1 rciernmi to tne.viar.snai.

Look out ion Chinese Cigars. In
pursuance of a resolution passed by the
Hoard of Supervisors of San Francisco, the
Health and Police Committees of that
body, together with Health Oflicer Meares
and Chief Engineer Scannel and one or
two policemen, took a jaunt through the
Chinatown of that city a few days ago.
There were several Chinese lepers in small
rooms engaged in manufacturing cigars,
which they sell to citizens to smoke. Peo
ple cannot lie too careful in buying cigars,
tor should they get a hold of those made
by leperous heathens they would probab
ly contract the filthy and incurable dis
ease. Geo. Fuches is manufacturing the

foothills of the Cascade mountains not far

squabble a few days ago, in which each

other, Lut with faulty and hurtless aim.
Allison, it appears was the aggressor, and
with resentment provoked by injury and
whetted by defeat, Littlepage went to
Portland and entered suit of prosecution
against him in Judge Dybee's court. The
case was examined ton Saturday after
noon, and Allison was committed to the
mimtr iaiL where he will be confined, Ull-
Ipss ho ran nrncnrn bonds ill the sum of
$500, until the next session of the grand

Fiikmen, Ahoy ! At tho last mating o

discussion over the m-vtter of nualiiia
firemen, and it was determined to weed
out the so-called firemen, who never at

man. At the Hoard of Delegates last Fri
day evening the matter was brought up
airain. and the comnanies were noliheti
that members must comply with the laws
of the department or be visited with the

. Heading Dime Novels.
There is nothing so pernicious to the
youthful mind as the reading of dime
novels. If parents wish to see their
male issue become thorough in voca
tions in which the worst sort of scoun
drels are the most successful, we would
advise them to furnish them with those
interesting and cheap novels, which
contain thrilling and well-depicted ac
counts of the exploits of villains whose
blood-thirsty natures have made them
terrors to the world. The lives of these
ruffians, written by persons who know
how fascinating such literature is, only
tend to excite the ambition of youths
and fire an emulation in their bosoms.
We read a few days ago of a boy named
John Monahan, only twenty years .of
age, who had been arrested in Troy, he
having been the leader of a gang o' cut
throats and robbers who had pillaged
every town and city they had visited,
and cut the throat of every man with
whom they came in contact. This boy
would go into the details of his ex
liloits and describe them with evident
! pride to all who interviewed him. He
j was from a good family, but he had
I become a slave to dime novel reading,
and his mind had become so foil of
daring exploits of highwaymen that he
was not satisfied until he embarked in
the bnsiness. There are boys of onr
acquaintance with whom the reading of
this character of literature is a passion.
They ara completely infatuated with
the stories that are told. We have, too,
known parents who think it very com
mendable in their children to read
dime novels,"for,"they argue,"cbildren
will get into the habit of reading, and
as tliey grow older t!iey will take to
reading something more useful." We
venture to say that not one out of ten
boys who commence at an early age the
reading of dime novels will ever iu af
ter years manifest an ambition to read
a hig'ier order of literature. It becomes
a passion with them, and it is like pull
ing eye teeth to try to break the habit.
We do not say, however, that every
boy who reads hese novels . becomes a
scoundrel by reason thereof, but we do
say that it has no good efl'ect on the
mind of any boy. It makes him lazy,
and, in fact does everything but inspire
him with an ambition to become a man
of 'elters. Boys, if you want to make
men of yourselves, read something that
will improve yonr minds; something
that 3ou can practically utilize. Read
the history of your native country, and
study it well; read and study the laws
by which you are governed, and you
will always be able to discern between
right and wrong; read the history of the
old countries, from which your ances
tors originally came, and read the biog
raphies ot the old philosophers, and of
all the men who did good in the world,
and not of those whose lives were char
acterized by debauchery and sin.

Fever as to be about, ard on every fine day

I prescribed your (Fellow's Hypophosphit.es

then, I doubt i' anyr M. D. has prescribed and
praised it more than I."
Such was the statement made by a first-rate
physician in Moncton, N. B., to Mr. Fellows,
and is another proof of the unequalled influ
ence of Fellow's Hypophosphites over disease.
It is pleasant to Hie palate; may betaken

By its use falling hair is checked, and a new

sour stomach h .t or dry skin, spots before the
eyes, bad taste in tha mouth, cold feet and
hands, seepiness, giddiness, loss of appetite,
bad circulation of the blood, swelled limbs,
Ac, you may safely conclude your liver is out
of ord t. The livr is more apt to become
disordered than any other organ of the body,
as its duty is to filter the impurities from the
blood. When it becomes weak, obstructed
and diseased, it must fail to do its duty, and
the wholi body suffers. Try White's Prairie

Liver Is Kiiir.
Tho Liver is the imperial organ of the whole
human system, as it controls the life, health
ami happiness of man. When it is disturbed
in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are
the natural result. The digestion of tood, th3
movements of the heart and blood, the action
of tin brain and nervous system, are all im
mediately connected with the work.'ggs of the
Liver. It. has been successful! v proved that
(ireen's August. Flower is unequalled in cur
ing ill persons afflicted with Dyspepsia or
Liver, and all the numerous sy torns that re
sult from an unhealthy condition of the
Liver and Stomach. Sample tattles to trv
