Mayor Stevens is AMMAN whose hands are
clean; whose integrity b unclouded by the
breath OF suspicion. He has never been an
active politician. Quietly holding his own
opinions, and holding them firmly withal, he
has kept aloof from the heated struggles
which precede elections. That he could be
privy to or participate in the dlshonorapie
means by which knaves on both SIDES some
times seek to influence the popular decision
is inconceiyable. - al = 15T'4 9al 70 /
Apart from the character Of the man, the
case itself admits of no doubt whatever, 'Ev-
erybody here knows, or ought to know, that
Mayor Stevens exercises no control over the

come to hand. The funds have been deposit

man has made all disbursements, drawing up
on the Mayor, whose sole concern in the mat

Stevens accepted reluctantly the nomination ol1ln
for Mayor, holding back on the plea that hl
own business required, his attention. VIII
the assurance that the routine Of official du
ties would really consume but little time, III
was at last satisfied. He has been called z
encounter the most arduous labors ever i'm
posed upon Mayor Of Portland. In SOM
quarters he has been subjected to incOnsider
ate abuse, notwithstanding his indefatigabl
labors His private interests have necessaril
suffered. He has contributed $3.50 to thi

An Item which every Man Should He d.
We have probably all of us met with in
stances in which word heedessly spoken
against the reputation of female has been
magnitied by malicious minds until the cloud
has become dark enough to overshadow her
whole existence. To those who are accus-
tomed-not necessarily from bad motives
but from thoughtlessness-to speak lightly of
females, we recommend the following hints
as worthy Of consideration:
Never use lady's name in an improper
place, in an improper time, or in mixed COM
pany. Never make assertions about her that
yon think are untrue, or that you feel she
would blush to hear. When you meet with
men who do not scruple to make use of
woman's name in reckless manner, sbun
them, Tor they are the very worst members
OF the community lost to every sense of
honor, every feeling of humanity. Many q
good and worthy woman's character has been
forever ruined and her heart broken by lie.
manufactured by some villain, and repeated
where 1t should MT have been, ana in the
presence of those whose little Judgment
would not deter them from circulating the
foul and Dragging report. A Islander ia soon
propagated. and the smallest thing deropa.
tory to woman's character will fly on the
wings OF the wind, and magnify as it circu-
lates until its menstrous weight crushes the
poor. unconscious victim. Respect the name
OF woman, for your mother and sisters are
women; and as Won would have their fair
name untarnished, and their lives unembit.
tered by the slanderers biting tongue, heed
the Ill that your own words may bring upon
the mother. the sister, or the wife Of some
fellow creature
