wOoDHULL AND OLAFLIN.

On our first page is letter from Mrs.
Belle w. Cooke, TO which we call the
attention of the public.
We have not seen the article in Wood
hull and CldfiR's Weekly to which our
friend alludes, but we have seen many
commendable things in their very able
journal. Mrs. Woodruff says and does
many singular things simply because
she dares to do so. We regard her as a
sensational rather than a wicked jour
nalist. Mrs. Beecher Hooker, who per-
sonally knows her, pronounees her a
pure woman. The sad phases in her ear
ly married life have had tendency to
pervert her ideas of the marriage bond,
and there are thousands of women under
the yoke of wedlock to-day who secretly
nurse just such sentiments against the
restraints of matrimony as are openly
proclaimed by this unfortunate and in
telligent, fearless and remarkable
woman.
WoodhuH and CIafin's Weekly will be
read, upheld and sustained by the very
attacks which would seem to hinder it;
and, while we by no means endorse its
theories upon the marriage relation, yet
we do emphatieally declare that its able
exposition of many of the glaring wrongs
that curse society far more than COM
pensate for the mischievous tendency OF
its apparent doctrine of free love.
We find that few of the people who de-
nounce the paper are acquainted with il
except upon hearsay evidence. Our
friend, Mrs. Cooke, has been reading
some of its articles, however, and we
like her eandOr in denouncing what she
cannot indorse. Like herself, we simply
desire to 'prove all things and hold fast
to that which is good"

How Mosquitoes Bite.

The mosquito has a prOboScis like an
elephant, only not so large. 1t Will,
however, look nearly as large under
good microscope. HecannOt do as many
handy things with it as the elephant
can with his, but he can cause good
deal Of ANNOYANCE in a small way with
it. 1t is hardly the thing to say that
the MOSQUITO bites us, for he has no
teeth. The microscope reveals the fact
that he carries pair of scissors inside
his proboscis-the neatest and sharpeSt
little cutting tools you ever saw. lie
gets his living by these. They are Two
delicate little blades, and are placed
alongside of each other. When he Is
ready to make a meal of us, he nrst
buzzes around with these beautiful
wings, and sings a pleasant little song.
If we let him quietly settle down, ne
picks out place on our skin which Is
just to his liking. He is very delicate
about ii. When he gets ready, he puts
his proboscis down and pushes the little
scissors out and makes n neat cut, so
that he can suck the blood out. Then
he drinks as much blood as he wants,
ant is done his dinner But he does
not leave yet. He is going to pay his
biz. He has taken our blood, and he
win leave us something in exchange for
it. With all his faults, he is an honest
little fellow-after his fashion. He has
the pay in his pocket ready to squeeze
out ErfOre he goes. It is poison, but
that makes no difference to him. 1t is
the best he has to give. His poison
pocket is at the head of his prObOscis,
and at the lower end of his prOboscis he
has anc' eer little pocket, into which he
puts poison enough for one dose. This
poison is very powerful. y very little
of it makes the place where the mos
quito puts it very sore. After he has
sucked our blood he puts the drop of
poison into the place he took the blood
from. 1t is not the "bite' or the cut
that the mosquito makes, that hurts us,
but it is the dropping of this powerful
poison into our flesh. If this mosquito
were large enough to give a powerful
dose of this poison it would be bad for
us. If he were as big as kitten, and
his poison as strong in proportion, a
"bite" from him would kill US.

THE BULLETIN" MoRALIzBTH.

We are pleased to see that our friend
of the Bulletin has become aware of the
existence of the Days Doiags and PO-
lice Gazette; and we are rejoiced that he
is using his influence, as the first fruit of
conversion to woman suffrage, to urge
the interpositiOn of the law to prevent
the circulation through the United
States mails of such publications as are
a libel upon decency and AN Outrage on
the purity of humanity.
Doesn't our brother know that if the
mothers of growing sons could have "A
voice in making and regulating our laws
this prurient pestilence would be pro-
hibited, and that right speedily? Doesn't
he realize that reading and reasoning
and thoughtful woman, who spends the
best part of her life in ''training her
children i'm the doctrines of truth and
chastity" TO be sullied by man-made as
sociations as soon as they are old enough
to read picture, is like carrier dove
with her wing clipped, or wise COVER
nor with his power gone, or counselor
in chains, very helpless grappler with
the corruption under whose influence
her sons must soon be brought, and
where her influence has no power to
reach?
Again, our brothers structures upon
the nude drama are gratifying in the
extreme. Who believes that the wise
and pure and conservative mothers of
this city would permit the enaction Of
such an outrage upon delicacy as we
were mortified TO see but recently upon
the stage in this city, in which young
girl danced, whirled, kicked and cavort-
ed i'm disgusting and scant undress Of
gauze, the only coveringl?) which con-
ceaIed(D her otherwise entire nudity.
To call things by their right names is
the aim of a reform journal, and we hope
the local of the Orcgonidn, who has
gone into rhapsOdies over the exhibit
tions of the Nathan troupe and whose
description thereof induced us to enter,
will not blush over-much when we as
sure him that we failed to see the Won
derful grandeur and beauty of the dis
gnsting exhibition of such an undress,
IhefoFe a mixed and apparently delighted
audience of girls and boys.
Speaking of this troupe, the child
afarion is indeed remarkable precoc-
fly; but that girl Of tender years
should be taught to enact the character
of men and boys, thus unsexing herself
and smirching her childish feminity, is
so horrible that we can only realize

HOME AND ITS QUEEN.

There is probably not an mperverted
man or woman living who does not feel
that sweetests consultations and best
rewards of life are found in the loves and
delights of home. There are few who do
not feel themselves indebted TO the
influences that clustered around their
cradles for whatever of good there may
be in their characters and conditions.
Home, based upon legitimate marriage,
is so evidently an institution of God,
that man must become profane before
he can deny it. Whereverit il is planted,
there stands bulwark of the State.
Wherever il is pure and true to virtuous
idea, there Bves an institution conser-
vative of all the nObler interests of
society.
OF this realm woman Is the queen. 1t
takes its que and hue from her If she
is in the best sense womanly-if she is
true and tender, loving and heroic,
patient and self lfdevOted-she consciously
or unconsciously organizes and puts in
operation a set of influences that do
more to mold the destiny of a nation
than any man uncrOwned, by power and
eloquence, can possibly effect. The men
Of the nation are what their mothers
made them, as rule; and the voice
which those men speak in the expression
of their power is the voice of the women
who bore and bred them.
There can be no substitute for this
There is no other possible way in which
the women of the nation can organize
their influence and power that will tell
so beneficently upon society and the
state, Neither women nor the nation
can afford to have home demOralized
or i'm any way deteriOrated by the loss
of her influence there. AS nation, we
rise or fall as the characters of our
homes, presided over by women, rise or
fall, and the best gauge of our pros
perity is to be found i'm the measure by
which these homes find multiplication
i'm the land. In true marriage, and the
struggle after the highest ordeal of home
life, is to be found the solution of more
of the ugly problems that confront the
present generatiOn-mOral, social and
political-than we have space TO emu
merate.-Am. odd FcllO3C.
The above is copied from the Will
lamette Farmer, a really valuable
newspaper, but very weak worker in
the woman movement, as its selections
from other mans rights papers conclu-
sively prove.
We wish the FuyDicT and all other
mans rights journals to distinctly un-
derstand that we indorse every word of
the foregoing; but if these wiseacres will
go a step further and permit the "queen
of home" to exercise her inherent
rights-which they wantonly usurp-
thereby enabling her to bring her purity
and good sense into the counsels Of the
nation, she will not longer feel the NOR
tification which at present distresses
her when she beholds her labors of love
and self-sacrifice brought TO naught as
soon as her sons grow out of the reach
of womanly influence and begin to take
part in a One-sexed and inharmonious
government.

which is more than life itself? In the
name of humanity, do you thinS that
there is a virtuous man or woman who
can consider him worthy to be called
honorable? Think you that the poor
victim of his wiles and false promises
the misled, the hopeless, heart-broken,
forsaken, ruined girl-will call him hon
orable?
Yet, despite the fact that the villain
Fay has proved himself unworthy of ev-
cry attribute of noble manhood, the
newspapers call him honorable, and
many of them are willing to accord him
pOsition-officel Cash and brains make
for him free pass everywhere, while
his poor victim and her shame-stricken
friends are left to bear the burden of his
disgrace, their ruin and the worlds bit
ter scorn.
Woman is powerless so long as she
eats the bread of dependence 10 prevent
the aggression of man. Were the tables
turned to-day-were man dependent
upon woman for his subsistence and rep
resentation, and she thereby possessed of
power to control his whole moral condi-
tion-he would very soon find himself
compelled to square his life TO new
code.
In moral rectitude woman herself
should not demand less of woman, but
of man she should demand more. There
should be no law or usage which recog-
nizes or for moment tolerates a privi-
legged class, which is nothing less or
more than an aristocracy of sex.
Public opinion must abandon its lib
eral pardon of the vices of men. / pray
that the unequal and debasing standard
of morality may be cut short, and that
sex may no longer be a protection for
the libertine or cloak for the honorable

ary. from which it derived its name"
Passing through page or two Of min
utes. etc, we come TO Newelrs resoIu-
ton: "Robert Newell moved and was
seconded, that committee be ap-
pointed to prepare a paper for the sig
nature of all persons wishing an organi-
zation."
It seems that a majority of the citi-
zens were in favor of an organization
and reported accordingly, whereupon
our friend Newell took the floor and ex-
postulated. Said he: "Wall, RELY now,
Mr.. Chairman, this report is a stumper.
see from the report of this 'ere COM
mittee that you are going on a leetle too
fast. / think we had better find out if
we can carry this thing before we go
too far. We have good many people
that don't know what we're about, and
/ think we'd better adjourn before we
go too far"
'MOst of the committee were in favor
of universal suffrage, and as DIR. Newell
had native wife, it was naturally sup
posed he would be quite as liberal as
those who had full white families, but
the Doctor demurred in the following
speech: Wall, now, Mr.. Speaker, |
think we have got quite high enough
among the dark clouds. ! do not be-
lieve we ought to go higher. 1t is well
enough to admit the English, the
French, the Spanish and the half-breeds,
but the Indian and the negro is little
too dark for me. i think we had better
stop at the half-breeds. I am in favor
of limiting the right to vote to them,
and going no further into the dark
clouds to admit the negro"
We produce the above matter of his
tory TO show that equality before the
law was a mooted question i'm Oregon
nearly twenty years ago, and also to
show the quality of the opposition il
received, and the causes for the same.

pangs of solicitude for the little victim
Of her parents imprudence and cupidity.
There are statutes against cruelty to an
imals, out we know of no statute prohibit
ing the turning Of this poor child's nights
into days, taxing her brain to remember
messes of ridiculous rubbish, imposing
upon her nervous system, crowding her
already alarmingly premature develop
ment, and thereby rendering abortive
the attempt of nature TO make of her a
truly remarkable, wise, prudent, pleas
ing and useful woman. To sacrifice such
child, or indeed any child, upon such
an altar is terrible. Those who sow the
wind must reap the whirlwind, and we
greatly err in prophecy if that childs
after life does not bring a reproach upon
her ignorant parents, which will teach
them bitter lesson after it shall be too
late to rectify their present unfortunate
mistake.
The other and older children of this
troupe developnO remarkable precocity.
The girls are pert, disagreeable and af-
fectedi the boys are boorish, great, in
sipid mushrooms; the mother is dowdy,
and the father-well, we couldn't place
him.
That public journal Of the standing
and respectability of the OrcgoHion
should find nothing but praise and COM
mendation for such a troupe of cheap
and dirty shams shows clearly that the
public taste TO which it tpanders is alarm
ingly prurient.
We are glad that tile Bulletin has
found the courage to oppose these things,
and we hope and trust that the other
Portland dailies will go and do likewise.

JOAQUIN" HEARD FROM.

We learn that Mr.. William Davidson
has received a letter from the poet Mil
Ter, accompanied by one addressed to
Mrs. Miller.
The letter to Mr.. Davidson requests
that gentleman to do him the favor to
find the address Of Mrs. Miller and for
ward his letter to the same. Mr. David
son is also requested to write to Mr..
Miller at once, giving particulars as to
the whereabouts of his wife, and all
about the children. We are pleased to
be able to give Mr. Miller the credit OF
having at last remembered his babes,
and we hope ere long to see him prove
his regard for his children in some sub
stantial manner. We hope that he will
also pecuniarily reward their heroic
mother for her devotion to her helpless
family.
