HURRIED EIGHTEEN YEARS.
A Gold Watch Lost In 1856 and Found III
1874.


From the Salem papers we learn
that a watch, lost by DIR. McCurdy
eighteen years ago, had been found
and returned to him. Once IN o
thousand years such incidents occur,
perhaps, but no one has lived to see.
1t was in the year 1856, when the
buildings of Portland were yet stand
ing in the forests, or untouched clay;
before the poor Indian began to as
cend the Coast Range of Mountains
to read his doom in the setting sun; /;
when General Lane was in his prime,
Senator Nesmith young man, and
Attorney General Williams an every
day lawyer. The writer remembers
the beautifuA watch and chain as q
wonderful thing, as those who are
yet among us will also do. 1t is un-
necessary to say that it was the Doc
tors pride, and regulated the time of
the whole village. On the Sth day
of February, 1856, he was called to
visit a patient in the vicinity of Capt.
English's mills. While en- route, by
some means he lostit from his pocket.
Search was instituted, q reward Of
fered, and still it could not be found.
Every roadside bush was examined
to no avail. At length he was COM
PEELED to give it up as lost. After
ward he removed to Missouri which
he made his home for some years,
but, like the generality, returned to
Oregon, his first love, The remem-
brance of his beauty had long since
been lain away beneath the dust Of
years, and the affair forgotten
Last Monday morning he was mel
on the street by Mr.. John Kays, who
reminded him of the circumstance
and related the joyful news that il
had been found, and Immediately
handed it over TO him. The pleas
ure of once more possessing the
wonderful watch after lapse Of SC
many years can family be imagined
Mr.. Kays was engaged in clearing
brush from portion Of his farm
through which the crooked road uset
to run, when q sparkle as of golt
shot out from beneath the dead damn
leaves his scythe had disturbed. H
stopped to pick il up, when to hi
surprise, embedded in the soil, h
found the treasure, The remem
brance of the long ago affair came t
his mind, and in turn the watch t,
its owner. Although lost for nea
as many years as Rip Van Winkle
the works were rusted butvery little
and the case and chain in excellen
condition. We congratulate tn
Doctor on his good fortune, and W
hope to once more look upon sthG
which lo us, in childhood, SCENE
something wonderful indeed. Blu

ON TIE RAGGED EDGE OF THE JIM
JAMS,

There has been in the last six
months renewal of the discussion
Of the Presidents fondness for drink,
and Of the manifest deplorable ef-
fects Of yielding to the cravings Of
his appetite. II is boldly charged
that he has been frequently, of late,
on the ragged edge of the ''jim
Jams" Whether those making the
charge are well informed or not is
not known, but it is certain that his
Excellency's appearance lends color
to the assertion. He has changed
greatly within the last four years.
Abundant gray hairs have come, es-
pecially in his whiskers. But he has
acquired within eighteen months
puffy and fabby look, and the dim
med eyes that are not usually pro-
duced by a rigidly temperate life.
Every once and while loyal adj
mirer of his Excellency comes from
White House interview wiGh a
shocked manner and protruding eye
balls, to take one aside and in a hor-
ror stricken whisper confde the
dreadful sucpicion that, after all,
these stories, heretofore set down to
partisan malice, have a foundation
in fact. Party men are so drilled in
this couhtry to loyalty to party that
they unhesitatingly accredit to ma
lice everything they hear not praise
worthy charged against their party.
Occasionally they awake to the fact
that it is possible for 1--WE uns" to
err even with our eyes wide open.
During the currency excitement last
spring and summer many good Re-
publicans gathered here to witness
and take hand in the combat, as
tonished themselves and their friends
by asserting that Grant had been
yielding to the seductive and over
powering influence Of cold whiskey.
Particularly was this the case with
imitation Republicans, who may have
been deceived through their indigna-
ton at the veto. The candid, frank
testimony of the members of the
conference committee on the curren-
cy bill, who called at the White
House for purposes OF consultation,
would be valuable, if it was worth
while 10 sift this matter and get the
whole truth. - Washington Cores'

THE sP1BIT OF MONOPOLY.


The following extract from the
farewell Message OF Andrew J Jackson,
delivered IN 1887, the year of the first
great panic, deserves to be repro
duced at this time, in oposition to
heretical ideas on the subject OF the
currency, corporations, and kindred
questions: "a"
Tho planter, the farmer the me-
chanic, all know that their success
depends upon their own industry
and economy and that they must
not expect to become suddenly rich
by the fruits OF their toll Yet these
classes of society form the great body
of the people Of the United States
they are the bone and slnew OF the
country; men who love liberty and
desire nothing but equal rights and
equal laws, and who moreover hold
the great mass of our national wealth,
although it is distributed in moderate
amounts among the millions Of free
men who possess IL. But, with over
whelmlng numbers ana wealth on
their side, they are in constnnt danger
OF losing their fair influence in the
Government, and with difficulty main
tain their just rights against the
incessant efforls daily made to en-
croaoh upon them The mischief
springs from the power which the
moneyed interests derive from a
paper currency, which they are able
to control; from the multitude OF cor
porations, with exclusive privileges,
which they have succeeded in obtain
ing in the different States, and which
arc employed altogather for their
benefit, and unless you become more
watchful in your States and check
this spirit of monopoly and thirst for
exclusive privileges. you will in the
end find that the most important
powers Of government have been
! given or bartered away, and that the
control over your dearest interests
has passed into the hands Of these
corporations.

Purify the Springs of Life

1t is a sine qua non of health, that the sour
ces of vitality, the ssprings of life," should be
free from contamination. The fluids which, by
their action upon the food, transforms itself,
must be pure, if the muscles, the bones and the
brain are to be properly nourished and kept
vigorous. To this end the stomach, the liver,
the bowels and the kidneys should perform un-
interruptedly their various functions, since if
these are disturbed the vital fluids speedily be-
come vitiated. The best, nay, the ONLY blood
depurent which purifies them, by overcoming
those bodily irregularities which produce them, /,
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters The principle
upon which this salutary Alternative acts is as
simple as it is philosophic. The origin of most
diseases, and invariably those which affect the
organs above mentioned, is weakness, caused
by insufficient assimilation OF the food. The
Bitters speedily rectify the cause of the difficult
ty by restoring vigorous digestion, so that all
parts of the physical structure are supplied
with an abundance of pure, rich blood. This
increases the activity of the discharging organs,
and enables them to throw of the e4fete matter,
which, ranking in the system, destroys health.
This bodily refuse having been got rid of, and
perfect assimilation re-established, there is
nothing to prevent healthy and active per-
formance of the various functions. Such being
the case, it is plain that the Bitters are not only
the most reliable stomachic, but eradicant
of those diseases of the liver, bowels and kid
neys which contaminate the springs of life.
