Oregon Politics.

PORTLAND April 27th.-Political matters
are very lively here now. The State Re
publican Convention will meet in Port
land on Wednesday, Already few dele
gates have arrived The contest for Con-
gresham promises to be quite warm, there
being several candidates in the field. Those
prominently mentioned for this office are
J. f. Caples, of Portland; George w. Nc
Bride, of st. Helens; c. w. Fulton, of
Astoria, and Binger Herman, of Roseburg
W. Lairhill, of The Dalles, will probably
be nominated for Judge of the Supreme
Court without opposition. There will
doubtless be a lively fight over delegates to
the National Convention and Presidential
electors. So far as can be determined, the
Republicans are very harmonious. The
Convention will be composed of pos dele
gates. 1t is generally conceded that Oregon
will give a round Republican majority for
State officers, also at the Presidential cleo
ton. There is some doubt as to the COM
plexion of the next Legislature. Great
interest centers in the legislative ticket, as
a United States Senator is to be elected the
coming session

J. P. SARSFIELD-DEAR SIR: Having been
afflicted thirtythree years with fever sores, and
having tried many kinds of remedies and treat
ment without avail, my attention called to
the many known cures produced by your

physicians of this city would not undertake my
cure unless | would submit to Il surgical opera
ton on my shin bone. which was considerably
diseased | objected to this kind of treatment,
and commenced using your Chronic Ulcer Salve
and Blood Remedy, which effected permanent
cure in forty days. AT the commencement of
treatment with your remedies, was unable to
perform more than two days work in each week.
and it was with great difficulty that / could
get up and down stairs. After four weeks of
treatment | was able to work all the time.
and regaining my health and strength daily
The lower part of my leg, between the knee and
foot, was completely honeycombed by these
sores. 1t Is but n faint expression of gratitude
that herewith bear testimony to the efficiency
of your most invaluable Chronic Ulcer Salve

you at once as the Good Samaritan of the pres

The Name for "a Girl.
New York sun.

II We granted the following request,
which comes TO us from Kentucky, we
should do the baby poor service:
-F.az>e send me some pretty names
81 .irl haby-somethiDg novel and
unc0mmOn--and you will much oblige a
reader Of the sun"
Novel and uncommon or merely pret-
ty and ianciful names are the ones Of oil
Others for you 10 avoid You may make
youg irl an object Of ridicule, and cause
her modification, which viii do serious
injury to her disposition. If YOU give her
some odd and romantic name.
The aid and simple and homely names
are the best for girls-the names which
have been borne by women for thous.
ands Of years, and which are both beau
titli in themselves aud sweet in their
associations Ihert is dignity about
them which benefits womanhood, while
great part oi The fanCiful names which
have of late come into fashion, are nap
prOpriate except in the nursery as the
pet appellations OF babies.
There are scores Of common ma mes
which are far better than those manu-
iactured by romanoers. They are all
good and all suitable, ana because thou
sands and millions nf women have been
known by them they are none the les
attractive. Those which are most COM.
monty used are, indeed, the most agreea
Die 10 the ear-like Mary and Margaret,
Catharine and Harriet, Jane and Lucy,
and Elizabeth. They are dignified, and
their homeliness makes them all the
more charming Affection will never
get tired OF them. They will be As COM
mon a thousand years from now as they
were thousand years ago and as they
are to-day
We therefore advise your friend TO give
up his plan for distinguishing his girl by
burdening her with some novel and
uncommon name, and if she grows to
be a sensible woman she will thank us
for our refusal TO assist him in finding
such an appellation.
