PROGRESS CT THE GOSPEL.

Ed. GAZETTE: 1t has often an.
peared to me that the pulpit was non
progressive. With themes of such
infinite interest 10 man, all SO inex-
haustible in their richness, as to make
it utterly impossible that the pulpit
should ever disclose more than a
tithe of the useful knowledge in the
great store house of nature and reve.
lation, SO tl,at I often wonder that
the same matter is so often repeated
from the pulpit. But brighter spot
appears in the pulpits canopy. D.
g. Sherman writing from Tum Tum,
June l4th to the GAZETTE, says:
"There will be preaching at Summit
school house next Sunday at II A. M. The
question is, will the Yaquina railroad be
built ."
Here is ,aeao question for the pul.
pit-old to the people-drawn out OH
every rostrum, but new the pulpit.
So progress marks the conduct of .he
pulpit as well as OF other professions.

P. S. / have no doubt there will
be large audience at the school
house, with deep devotion, and that
the question will be ably discussed.

DEAR SIR The impression having

been authorized to publish the follow

w. A. WELLS,
DEAR SIR-In reference to your
question whether this company is going
to build sidetrack from the Depot at
Corvallis to theriver warehouses, I beg
to say, that we shall not build such a
sidetrack. We intend to get the people
who will do business withus, to build
warehouses at our depot grounds,
which are large enough for that pur-
pose, and we expect to accommodate
them, so that they can do business in
competition with other transportation
companies. Yonrs Truly,

4 PERUVIAN EXPERIENCE.
THE STRANGE CIPHER CARRIED BY A
SAN FRANCISCO GENTLEMAN.


On theH22d of March, San Fran
cisco gentleman, who has been in
South America during the past year,
having occasion to go from Valparaiso
to Tacna, Peru, OH legitimate private
business, was arrested upon suspicion
Of being Chilean spy. Being anx
ious to penetrate into Bolivia. and
unable to obtain a passport, he ran
the Chilean blockade from Iquique,
and arriving in Tacna with little bag
gage, carrying in his pockets some
business and family correspondence
and family photographs. One OF
these home letters contained the
painted head of a paper doll, sent to
him by his two-year old boy, and
funny letter scrawled in unmeaning
hieroglyphics by the same baby
hands. These mementoes were view
ed with great suspicion by the Off
cials, and deemed quite sufficient to
justify his being shot. He was in
carcerated in dungeon, guarded by
two sentinels, and kept for the first
three days without food. In the
course OF a few days every Chilean
in the province was arrested, and as
the families of the prisoners were
allowed to visit them, the American
managed to smuggle letter TO a
prominent merchant of the place, a
Mr.. Camerery, of the firm Camerery
& Kouch, to whom he had brought
letters of introduction. This gentle
man finally succeeded, at the expira-
tion OF three weeks, in obtaining his
release. His confiscated possessions
were returned to him, with the ex
ception of the mementoes described,
which will probably occupy impor-
lant places in Peruvian annals, to the
surprise of the little fellow who sent
them.
The prisoner was discharged by
the authorities with considerable re
luctance, a fact perhaps in part due
TO his manner Of reception of their
cuurtesies. Even the three days
starving did not tame him, for when
they sounded him, at the end of that
time, to see whether he was ready to
come to terms, and yield the KEY to
the mysterious cipher, he told them
he would acknowledge he was hungry,
and informed them that il :hey would
roast their Project or General Mon
tero, he would gladly eat them, aud
the act might make him a civilized

FROM A eREENBAckER.

EDITOR GAZETTE: 1t is really
surprising to see how the Greenback
party was sold out in this county,
by few antiquated demagogues.
A great many men connected with
this move are in good faith, and
would like to see some reformation
in our political affairs. But they can
not gain the confidence of the people
so long as they are led by unscrupu-
lous politicians. Men who have been
discarded from other political parties
on account of their intrigue and
treachery cannot he trusted here.
1t is little strange how these old
gray wolverines get into the fold OF
this new party and scatter and de.
YOUR the sheep, some of them were
young lambs who had never lett the
fold or ventured out into the cold
charities of.a political campaign be-
fore. One of the lodges Of these
self constituted leaders was to have
a lot of tickets printed with names
from both the old parties on them so
as to deceive the people. By doing
this, they might be able to elect GER
tain men that pleased this class OF
leaders, whether it suited the voters
or not. This spotted kind of ticket
was sent ont on the eve of election
to the various precincts in order to
deceive and humbug the honest yeo.
many of the county. Every good
man though he may be elected to
office by such means looks upon it as
mean and dishonorable.
! live near the burnt woods and
am pretty hard up for money, and
don't like to be sold out in this way
If the Greenback party is going Il
be bilked and humbugged in thi,
style. will have nothing 10 Go will
it. 1t must be built on more solid
foundation than this or the whole
thing will go down.
The most of the gentlemen who
ran upon the Greenback ticket die
not so much as get a respectable vote
How do they like to be treated ii
that way? If the party is on ths
square, why is it managed so as to
deceive it's honest followers Thi,
is about the true state of the case.

tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chtlls and
Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, Re-
mittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical
or Bilious Fever, and all malarial dis
orders. In miasmatic districts, the rapid
pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss OF
appetite, pain in the back and loins and cold
ness of the spine and extremities, are only
premonitions OF severer symptoms Whlch
terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded
by high fever and profuse perspiration.
1t is startling fact, that quinine, arsenic.
and other poisonous minerals form the basis
of most of the Fever andSAgue Prepara-
tions," Specifics" Syraps," and "Ton-
ics," in the market. The preparations made
from these mineral poisons, although they
are palatable, and may break the chill, do
not cure, but leave the nialarial and their
own drug poison in the system, producing
quinism, dizziness, ringing i'll the ears, head
ache, vertigo, and other disorders more for
midable thaIisthe disease they were intended
to cure. AYERS AGCE CURE thoroughly
eradicates these noxious poisons from the
system, and always cures the severest cases.
1t contains no Quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate patient;
and its crowning excellence, above its GER
tainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as
free from disease as before the attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYERS AGUE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and bill

produce these complaints, and stimulates the
system to vigorous. healthy condition.
We warrant it when taken according to

Roll in the Chicago Conve tion.

the Chicago convention is now complete, with
the exception of delegates from two States,
Colorado and Louisiana, and one Territory,
Idaho. Out of the 756 delegates in the con-
ventiou, 732 have been elected, leaving ~ to
be chosen. A careful and judicial estimate
of each candidates standing shows that no
one Of them is likely to have majority on
the first ballot. Grant comes nearest to Il
with 290 votes, but is SO short of q majority.
Blaine has 277, and is 1902 short. Sherman
has LOG; Edmunds, &c; Washburne, Is; and
Window, 10. In making this estimate, The
Tribune has aimed solely at accuracy. Every
division has been made after careful EXAM
ination, is sustained in every instance by the
best evidence attainable, and in many in
stances by the personal assurances of men,
bers Of the delegations. The two States
which are still to elect, Louisiana on Monday
next, and Colorado on Tuesday, have 22
votes. Idaho has . votes. If Grant gets all
of them he will still be G5 votes short Of
majority. His friends have claimed for him
