EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common thatit is
almost impossible for an editor to express his
honest opinion of the merits OF any article
without being suspected of interested motives.
This fact, however, shall not deter us from
saying what we think of new addition to the
Materia Medica to. which our attention has 1
been recently directed. We refer to DIR. j. 4
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs, a
remedy which is making its way into more
families just now than all the other advertised
medicines put together There seems to be no
question about the potency of its tonic and al
terative properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing neither
alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is spe-
cific for Indigestion, Billiousness, Constipation
and many complaints of nervous origin, we
have reason to know and we are assured on
good authority that as a general invigorant
regulating and purifying medicine, it has no
equal. 1t is stated that its Ingredients, lob
I tanned from the wilds of California; are new
| to the medical world; and its extraordinary eff
fects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is
compound of agents hitherto unknown. If
popularity is any criterion, there can be no doubt

THE ID. +. J's.-We don't like cabslistic tit
tles-because We can't understand them; but
every one could Understand and appreciate their
beautiful entertainment last night. City Hall
was tastefully decorated with booths, where
pretty Misses dispensed flowers, told fortunes
and did fair postal business in opposition to
Uncle Sam. The floor was frightened with
charming little girls-and some large ones-in
picturesque fancy costumes, anxious to dispose
of their boquets and fruits; tables of elegant
needlework occupied one side of the apart
ment, while the stage curtain occasionally rose
to display nicely arranged tableux of scenes
from Dickens and Goethe, humorous concerts
and pictures from artists. Reception Hall was
made an attractive refreshment room, and if
the audience was not large it was happy.
SEWING MACHINEs.-We don't know much
about sewing machines of human invention, but
we sat for half an hour the other day and ex-
amined the construction Of the Florence ma
chine and saw it perform wonderful variety of
work; more than we ever dreamed that an in
animate and Misunderstanding piece of maehin-
cry could ever be made to do. The man that
sells them got us bewildered with his talk about
telling and hemming and back-stitchins and
tucking and all sort of thing, but when he
reduced rent in piece of wooden cloth we
were Obliged to admit that it was "darned
good" We don't want to draw comparisons
between sewing machines, but if you want to
see one that seems to be the perfection of hui
man ingenuity, call on Mr.. Dyer at No. 172

THE TEMPERANCE MEETING To-NIGHT.-Let
there be full gathering at City Hall tonight
to show to the world that the cause of temper
ance is not dead in Portland, but that her citi-
zens are willing to confer with those from
abroad and inaugurate measures that will work
genuine reform, and put an effectual stop to
the sale and use of intoxicating liquors. We
remember when the Washingtonian movement
swept over the State in 1912 and the following
years. and thousands of inebrates were set
upon their feet again and made to feel that
they were men-that their self-respect was
reused and encouraged. If that movement did
all that was to be done at that time, and all
were saved that could be by moral suasion, and
law became necessary as more potent reform
er, let us go back and begin again, and save ali
of the present generation that can be saved in
that way-and there is material enough for
years of labor by this agency.
