s'THE DEAD LETTER" ENJoINED.-We learn
that an injunction has again been granted, en-
joining the publishers of the ILLUMINATED
WESTERN WORLD from issuing the narrative
OF romance called "THR DEAD LETTER" in
which 80 much interest has recently been ex-
cited. This action has been taken to suppress
what is regarded by the parties interested as
an astounding revelation of q Family History.
The defendants, it is presumed, will be heard
from again. may1S 2t
The fame of the celebrated Plantation Bit
ters has no parallel in the history of medicine.
The thousands upon thousands of bottles that
are made and sold daily is but proof positive
az theiF ~nssdHfful virtues, Thousands of GER
tifcates can be produced showing clncl.sJJF-
and certainty of the cures which they effect,
and the medical Fraternity, usually so jealous
of anything which causes persons to think and
doctor for themselves, are compelled to ac-
knowledge their wonderful virtues, and pre-
scribe them under other names. They are sold
| by all druggists.
MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to the best
| imported German Cologne, and sold at half
the price. may15eod1w&w
| WHICH Is TIE BEST WRINaER?--We say the
''Novelty," because it has the patent fange
| cog-wheels on both ends.
| The cogs on one end of roll are set rela-
lively between those on the other end of the
same roll, virtually forming double gear, and
| thereby nearly doubling the purchase.
| This result can be obtained by putting all
the gears on one end of the wringer. But in
SO doing it is necessary to pin the rolls togeth-
er to keep the cog wheels in gear; also, (when
the patent fange is not usei) to put block
between the bearings of the rolls to prevent
the gears being pressed together close enough
i to bind.
The patent flange cog-wheels, when used on
both ends of the wringer in connection with
but one pressure screw, allow the rolls to sep
arate at either end, as one end or the other
| will always be in gear. If a pressure screw
was used at both ends this would not be the case
because one end of aroll would have no con-
| ntrol over the ether end. But with one pressure
screw in the middle, the pressure is equalized,
for if one end is forced up the other is thereby
forced down. The og-wheels cannot be thrown
out of gear Oh both ends of the wringer at the
same time, unless the pressure is taken off.
The Novelty is fastened to a tub or OK by q
patent curved clamp, which has an equal bear
| ing on tub the whole length of the wringer.
Other wringers arc merely fastened to stave
at each end, and are thus liable to wrench the
slaves from their proper position and ruin the
| tub.
Buy the Novelty or at least take it on
trial with any or all others, and keep the best.

NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE Co.-This COM
pany organized in New York in 1868, under
| special charter from the Legislature, must not
be COMPOUNDED with the National Insurance
Company of Washington. This company Of
fers superior inducements for life insurance.
Its income increased during the years 1867-eS
nearly $4,000, while the total expenses were
but small percentage over the previous year.
The policies issued during the first year of its
existence were II, insuring the sum of $32, 800,
| and in 1858 the policies amounted to 1921, in
surfing the sum of $685. 234 Its assets on
January 1, 1869, were $43S, 24707. During the
last year dividend of 80 per cent. on the life
policies was declared by the company. The
proportion of assets to liabilities compiled
from the report of the Insurance Commission
| er of Massachusetts places the National at the
head of all the Others The special advantages
offered to the insured are these: A man in
sures his life for $4,000; his annual premium is
800; he pays $25 down and at the end of three
months pays $25 more and gives his note for
$50, or he may pay the whole 800 down; thir-
ty days grace are allowed for the payment OF
premiums; all policies are non-forfeiting after
two years, and incontestible after five years,
and the note of the insured taken for one half
the annual premium.
The agent in this city is Mr.. j. E. jerks, who
has taken the four elegant front rooms in
Fluents block, Exchange street, and fitted
them up in style unsurpassed in Portland.
DR.. W. II. True, examining physician, and j.
e. jerks, general agent. The sign of the COM
pany, the American flag, rising from the foli-
age of dense forest and illuminated by the
rags of the full orbed moon, is one of the finest
we ever saw.
