ORIGIN Of the AUSTRALIANS.

In his late work on the origin Of
civilization, Sir John Lubbock takes
the ground that existing savages
are not the descendants of civilized
ancestors aad that the primitive
condition of man was one of utter
bsrbarism, from which several races
have Independently advanced. He
does not claim that all are neces-
EARLY Improving, but that while
sone are apparently stationary and
others actually deteriorating--the
latter condition being almost in
variably associated with the dying
out OF a race-the history of the
human race on the whole has been
one Of progress. In q late paper
ON the position of the Australian
languages read by ". H. j. Bleek
before the Antkropological Society
of Lopdea, Of which Sir John Lub .
book Is President, evidence which
seems opposed to the foregoing
views was Incidentally furnished.
DR.. Ble0k snaiptains that locked at
from the standpoint Of language,
the Australian native is to be re-
garded as the degenerate offspring
of the South Indian race; and a
comparison Of the religious customs
and ohssevances Of the past, with
those OF theNpresent among them,
wesld also Indicate that they had
fallen FROM Q higher state Of civil
izafion. The artificial nature Of
their weapons. their knowledge Of
the .stnf apinningsan the peculiar
system Of castles existing among
them, were cited 90 still further
evidence in favor Of this belief

THE BULLETINS" EXPLANATION.

1t is the custom of some men editors
to be very courteous and digniiied in
their remarks in reference to Women
Suffrage advocates while in their own
vicinity, reserving whatever of censure,
sarcasm or insult they may have to
offer until the objects of such attacks
are gone. Apropos, short time since
the editor of the Bulletin endeavOred
to make some capital against Miss
Anthony while that lady was lecturing
in Washington Territory by decrying
the efforts made by her to assist the
sufferers by the late devastating fires.
\ paragraph concerning the donation
made by Miss Anthony to the WiscOn-
sin and Michigan Relief Fund was cop
led in these columns from the Olympia
EchO-which was deemed Il sufficient
misunderstanding that the nett pro-
ceeds of the first lecture at Olympia
were given to the charitable object
named. II was also incidentally men-
toned that Miss Anthony had for
NdiNth AAit NiiliAG lIotONNi1 VI Il iAtttliiE
at the State Fair Grounds to the relief
of Chicago. This latter statement the
Bulletin calls in question, and asks us
to explain" The statement is cor
rect. Miss Anthony cares little TO
trumpet her deeds Of benevolence to the
world, and so it was not published in
the Oregon newspapers; and, further
more, it was not intended that it should
be published in the Echo. The amount
forwarded from Salem was some fifty
odd dollars.
As to the price Miss Anthony chose
to charge at Olympia, that is her own
affair. That, after the lecture was over,
she should donate the nett proceeds in
stead Of doing as first proposed, shows
her to be generous, wholc-souled
woman.
We hope our neighbor is satisfied.

the gleesome joy Of sweet reunion anu
the interchange Of words Of cheer we
are so befuddled that we cannot near

Seated again at our little desk, scrib-

click of falling type is heard within and
pattering rain-drops fall without, we
feel that we wouldn't exchange our Office
for a Dukedom or our editorial chair for
the sole possession of the Isles of the

trio glow that longs to burn itself into
words of greeting to the many friends OF

AN INCIDENT.

The dear, generous, good-natured.
philosophical, philanthropical, free and
easy men, who think too much of women
to allow them liberty of voice, con-
science or inclination, got an overdose
OF their own regime the other day at one
of the milling points on the Sound.
When the steamer landed a lady, with
whom Miss Anthony and ourself had
formed an agreeable acquaintance at an
other place, met us at the wharf and in
vited us to her home, saying that our
company would be a great pleasure to
her and she could make us more COM
Portable than we would be at the hotel.
where there were Indifferent accommo-
dations for ladies. We protested, fear
ing that we might incommOde her. but
the invitation was repeated and we ac-
eepted the hospitality of a very comfort
able home. The lord and master who
supports this woman, and who Gloves.
cherishes and protects herr according
TO law, came in in the evening and in
formed US that he had engaged rooms
Tor us at the hotel; that he didn't keen
public house and his wife in inviting us
to her house had done that which he
had not given her permission to do. The
wife sat in fearful silence, feebly remon-
strating occasionally, but TO no purpose,
ana, OF course, we could not dispute the
authority or the legal power of her "pro-
teetor' TO order her invited guests TO
leave the house.
Indignation ran high at the mill.
and the men were all ashamed of him.
but the poor, bOorish niggard, who
owns and possesses that woman i'm fee
simple, feels that he has taught her a
lesson of subjugation which she will not
dare to forget.
OF course a large-hearted, genteel, re-
spectacle man, who is worthy of a SEN
sible wife, will never make her feel his
power by such exhibitions of masculine
prowess; but when a man is the Oppo-
site Of all this, he has the law and the
liberty to set at naught the best inter-
ests and feelings of the helpless woman
