In my letter last week, in referenoe to the clnbs of Portland, whilst I, by no meant, meant to give a complete olab directory, in mentioning the more prominent, as I did, it was accidental ou my part that I neglected to apeak of the road olab, or, more properly speaking, the Good Roads Club.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that bo many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed bo highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acta. It is therefore all important, in order to get ita bene ficial effects, to note when you pur . chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Tigs stands highest and la most largely ,4s3ed and gives most general satisfaction.

The object of the olub is to encour age good roads, bat its pursuit geenis rather to be sociability. The olub has aroused some Interest in good roads, but I fear that this has been somewhat ameliorated by a recent city ordinance permitting bioycles on the sidewalks, provided the riders dismount within thirty feet of any pedestrian approach ingwhich the riders do not do with a cealoua fidelity to their own elegant comfort that is worthy of a better oauae. You'll find the advertisement of Olds St King on this page quite inter esting this week. As I told you in another letter, 1 know Olds very well, and any thing he says in an advertise ment is quite as good as the best man's bond.

Be sure of the number, 803 Washington street, and watch for the "ad" weekly from now until Christmas. Before now, yon have doubtless read of the recovery of lira, Dickenson, at Mount Angel, Oregon, from apparent death, October 18, as the undertaker was about to fasten the lid on the ooffin preparatory to taking the corpse?) to the church where funeral aervioes were to be held. The lady died (?) Friday. The funeral waa set for Sunday after noon. The little church at Mt Angel was filled with friends Sunday after noon, the pall spread for the coffin, and the minister ready to officiate. After waiting over half an hour for the ar rival of the funeral procession, a mes senger was sent to duoover the cause of the delay. Soon the information was returned that lira. Dickenson had returned to life, as above related. These facta I obtained from the min ister myself, who is a worthy, reliable ana trutniui gentleman. That was truly a narorw escape from being buried alive. My present information is that there are hopes of Mrs. Dick enson's permanent recovery. Even hard times belp us some. A recent heavy failure here of J. M. Moyer St Co., bringing with it the fail ure of the Albany Woolen Mills, has thrown an immense stock of men's and boys' clothing on the market, made of pure Oregon wool, at exactly wholesale cost. State Senator-elect Ben Selling, as assignee, has cut prices to f xact cost to raise money at once. So, if yon happen to want clothing, suits, Over coats, boys' clothing, at actual whole sale cost, address Assignee, J. M. Moyer & Co., Third and Oak streets, and my word for it, Senator Selling will quote you at actual cost, fot brand new goods, newest patterns and latest styles. The rainy season has about set in, and not for years have Portlanders bad a better opportunity of experiencing the benefits of the excellent new street pavements that I have recently referred , to in this correspondence. II -retofore, walking in the business center of this ciy, during the rainy season, has been, I might say, almost perilous; certainly it was experimental, for no man could tell when he put bis foot down in the sloughs between the rows of buildings, whether he would rest his sole on a stump or in the bottom of a sunken mud scow. The new streets add to comfort and give impetus to trade at the stores, which amply repays the out lay for good paving. An interview with H. W. Scott, editor of the Oregocian, and with Sylvester Pennoyer, mayor of Portland, may ap pear in my next letter, after the elec tion, if the interviews can be bad. Ahl if both of them would only speak their inmost minds on the result of the elec tion, it would prove interesting if not instructive reading. EZEKIEL. Two Shooting Affrays. Cincinnati, Nov. 2. There were two shooting affrays last night In the first one a drunken Swede was ejected from the Salvation Army bar racks, whereupon he ihot James Mur ray, but not dangerously, and then shot a little girl in the wrist He also fired at his pursuers before he was ar rested. The other shooting was at Sherman's distillery, in the western part of the oity. The participants were two government storekeepers on duty at the, distillery, A. E. McKenzie and Bernard Langemeyer. McKenzie shot Langemeyer in the bowels and groin. Langemeyer died at the hospital. Mc Kenzie came to the polioe station and surrendered. Friends Failed to Recognize Her Irs.

Yon will remem ber that for years I walked the streets a living skeleton emaciated weak, and a complete wreck. My flesh color less, my nerves unstrung. I had no blood. It my flesh waa punotured, a thin pink stain was all that oould be produced. My physicians said there was no hope for me. My friends de spaired of my recovery. I was sent to Sacramento, where three of the most eminent physloians diagnosed my case, but they shook their heads and said they could not help me, and they re fused to take my money as they oould do me no good. "My husband was sent for to say the last good-bye. When I lay on my couoh to rest I felt as though 1 was sinking, down, down, down. I oould not sleep, neither could I rest When all hope from physicians waa gone, I determined to try what virtue thete was in Pink Pills for Pale People. I commenced taking them and soon be gan to improve. I continued their use with the result that to-day I am fully recovered to health and happiness, and this in less than six months from the time I oommenced their use. All hail to Pink Pills for Pale People." J. C. Stephens, another resident of Placerville, said: "I was afflicted with rheumatism for more than twenty years, and only with the greatest diffi culty was I able to walk to my place of business, my hands were so stiff and swollen that I could soarcely hold any thing in them. When driving my team, could not hold my whip. I saw in the San Franoisoo Call that a friend of mine had been oured of rheu matism by using Pink Pills. I com menced using them with the result that I am completely oured." Mrs. J. Q. Bailey was afflicted for a long time with kidney trouble and could not rest sights. She said: "I had heard so much about the wonders that Pink Pills performed that I con cluded to try them. I oommenced taking them, and found immediate re lief, sleep nicely, and in every way : am greatly improved. " j W. F.

A ahilliaf k Company a rresclsca SSI EMPEROR OF tXlA. Bow Napoleon Conducted IBIsaaalf baring Exit,, a Elba waa an Island divided against Itaelf, there being both Imperialists and royalists among Its Inhabitants, aad a considerable party which desired inde pendence. By representing that Na poleon had brought with him fabulous sums the Austrian and English com mlsslonera easily won the Elbana to a fervor of loyalty for their new emperor. Before nightfall of the 4th the court waa established, and the new adminis tration began Its labors. Having mas tered the resources and needs of hla pigmy realm, the Emperor began to de ploy all hla powers, mending the high ways, fortifying the strategic points, and creating about the nucleus of four hundred guards which were aent from Fontalnebleau an efficient little army of sixteen hundred men. His expense were regulated to the mkiuteat detail bothathomeand abroad; the salt works and Iron mines, which were the bul warka of Elban prosperity, began at once to Increase their output, and taxa tion waa regulated with scrupulous nicety. By that superemtnent virtue of the French burgher, gtad management the taland waa made almost lndepem', ent of the remnants of the Tullerle treasure (about five million francs; which Napoleon had brought from France. The same powers which had awayed a world operated with equal success In a sphere almost microscopic by comparison. Before long the Princess Borghese, separated soon after her marriage from her second husband, and banished since 1810 from Paris for Impertinent conduct to the Empress, came, accord ing to promise, to be her brother's com panion, and Madams Mere, though dis tant In prosperity, came likewise to soothe her son In adversity. The In tercepted letters of the former prove her to have been at least as loose In her life at Elba aa ever before, but they do not afford a sufficient basis for the scandala concerning her relations with Napoelon which were founded upon ' them, and Industriously circulated at ' the court of Louis XVIII. The shame- ful charge has no adequate foundation ! of any sort. J Napoleon's econmomlcs were render- i ed not merely expedient, but Impera tire, by the fact that none of the mon eye from France were forthcomin I which had been promised In his treat) j with the powers. After a short stay Roller frankly stated that In his opln- Ion they would never be paid, and de-; parted. The Island swarmed with I Bourbon spies, and the only con versa- j tion In which Napoleon could Indulge : himself unguardedly waa with Blr Nell ! Campbell, the English representative, : or with the titled English gentlemen who gratified their curiosity by visiting : him. During the summer beats when the court was encamped on tba heights j at Marclana for refreshment, there ap pea red a mysterious lady with her: child. Both were well received and kindly treated, but they withdrew ' themaelves entirely from the publl j gaae. Common rumor aald It was tht Empress; but this was not true; It waa the Countess Walewska, with the aon aba bad borne to her host, whom ab j still adored. They remained but a few ' daya, and departed as mysteriously as i they had come. Base females thronged the precincts ! of the Imperial residence, openly strut-; gling for Napoleon's favor as they bad i so far never dared to do; success too ; frequently attended their efforts. But ' the one woman who ahould have been 1 at his side was absent. It Is certain j that she made an honest effort to come, ' and apartments were prepared for her ' reception in the little palace at Porto Ferrajo. Her father, however, thwart-1 ed her at every turn, and finally she ! was a virtual prisoner at Scbonbrunn. ; So manifest was the restraint that her ' grandmother, Caroline, Queen of the Two Sicilies, cried out In Indignation, ! "If I were In the place of Maria Louitta j I would tie the sheets of my bed to the , window frame and flee." Committed 1 to the charge of the elegant and subtle ! Nelpperg.a favorite chamberlain whom j she had first seen at Dresden, he piled ; her with such Insidious wiles that at j last her slender moral fiber was entire- j ly broken down and abe fell a victim j to bis charms. As late as August Napol- j eon received Impassioned letters from ' her; then she grew formal and cold; at last, under Mettornlcb's urgency, she j ceased to write at all. Her French at-! tendant, Meneval, managed to convey the whole sad story to her husband, but the Emepror was Incredulous, and hoped against hope until December. Then only he ceased from his Incessant and urgent sppeala. Cpnrtirv. An African Bait Works.
