THE OREGON INSANE ASYLUM.

Through the accommodating kindness
of Jacob Stitzel, Esq, Mrs. Carrie f.
Young and ourself were recently con-
veyed to the Insane Asylum, where we
spent an hour or two in visiting the
different wards, under the guidance of
the gentlemanly physician in charge,
DR.. J. c. Hawthorne.
The buildings are large, clean, well
ventilated and commodious, and the IN
fortunate inmates are well provided for
One noticeable and pleasing feature of
the institution is that the patients are
all fond of DR. Hawthorne, and do not
exhibit the least symptoms of fear or
hatred at his approach.
There is a park adjacent to the build
ings where the patients spend much of
their time in pleasant recreatiOns. The
location is healthy, commanding and
beautiful.
One elderly unfortunate stepped up to
US as we were prOmenading in his ward,
and said as naturally as though his
orain had never been unhinged: 1--WE

beside her, and she braided, sewed and
twisted them into shape and comeliness,
talking incessantly, and evidently happy

WOMAN SUFFRAGE LECTURE.

Miss Anthony lectured on "The Power
of the Ballot' at the Gro Fino Hail on
Wednesday evening to large, intelli-
gent and delighted audience. The Hall
was literally packed with calm, dispas-
sionate and interested listeners, whom
the speaker held spell-bound for an hour
and twenty minutes. Women, with
bright countenanees and radiant eyes,
looked on and listened TO utterances or
wisdom concerning realities which they
before had not seriously considered
Men, with broad foreheads and thought
ful faces, hearkened to prophecy, anC
philosophically prepared themselves Il
accept the inevitable. Susan's fund o
anecdote, incident and argument is in
exhaustible. The crowded state of oul
columns prevents a full report of he
lecture from appearing in this issue. Il

creased with tallow, and his huge feet
encased in skin pumps.
Very soon the company began to
gather, and the room was well filled.
"NOw, elder" cried the bridegroom,

am able TO pay for the job; do We hear?
Come, Father Burke, trOt out your gal"
But Sally refused to he trOtted. She
would be married where she was, or not
at ALL We argued and cOaXed, but she
was firm; and it was finally concluded to
let her have her own way.
Mr.. Morrison stood up; the happy
couple joined hands through a rent in
the cOverlet, and the ceremony pro
ceeded. Just as Mr.. Morrison was asking
Iemuel: "Will you have this wOman?'
etc, down came the coverlet, enveloping
both minister and bridegroom, and fill

Lemuel, and hastily taking a huge bite

Then he turned TO my husband.

Lemuel produced piece of fur.

CORRECTION" ETC.

Our friend Justice Moreland wants us
to know that when we sympathize with
breaved(?) court we don't allude to
him. He also calls our attention to the
fact that our last weeks article upon
''thwarted justice" was incorrect in part
HaywOOd's victim did not appear in
court as we were told, and it is believed
that her betrayer has hired her to secrete
herself. If this be the case the indigna-
tion of our Justice is pardonable. While
we have a very poor opinion of girls who
can be led astray by such libertines as
Haywood, we also have strong desire to
see such libertines consigned to the PEN
itentiary, where their raids upon the
virtue of weak, confiding and foolish
victims may be wholesomely checked
by prison fare and hard labor.
The morally insane, whether men or
women, should not be permitted to run
at large.

]. B. FROST. STAND UP!

You are accused before Almighty God
and these witnesses of perpetrating Ii
bel upon your own sex.
You say that Gin endorsing wOman's
rights you must ignore marriage and
encourage prostitution"
You say that ''if the right of the bal
lot is given to woman our Government
would pass rapidly into the hands of
miserable despots, and the star of Re
publicanism will set forever in degrada-
ton and shame"
You say "with the first vote polled by
woman's hand the death warrant Of our
Republican Government is signed"
You say that ''the noble women of
America will be dragged from their high
estate down to the vortex Of infamy and
shame, and be obliged to share in the
disgrace of a movement which they had
no hand in originating, but would be de-
spoiled Of the influence which they now
exert, disrespected among men and dis
honored and disregarded by their chill
dren."
There This is the head and front OF
your offending. Hold your head up, so!
Look us in the face-if you can-and
give reason, if possible, why sentence
for libel upon your sex may not be pro-
nounced upon you.
Is it possible that you judge the wise
and pure and virtuOus women of Amer
lea 10y your own ignoble standard? Is
it right or just to accuse all women OF
needing the peculiar legislation of man
to keep them in the paths of deceney
because VOu need such restraint? Are
YOU capable of feeling any sense of per-
sonal shame? Do you think, because
you can impose upon a nervous invalid
of an editor, whose mind is evidently rs
weak as his body, and prevail upon him
to print your platitudes and ignorantly
thank you for them, that the wives and
mothers of sensible men will harbor
your opinions? Do you hope to curry
favor with any man of brains by your
insensate calumny?
There! We thought you'd quail! Go
to! It's no use braying you in mortar
seven times, yourfolly would not even
then depart.
We can forgive an ignoramus of the
genus masculine who reviles woman,
but when self-conceited upstart like
yourself essays such wickedness she sins
away her day of grace.
1t is possible that study Of the prae-
tical principles Of English grammar
might help you somewhat in your 'ed-
ucation," but we can think of no further
benefit TO be derived by you from the
deserved oblivion to which the women
Of Oregon hereby consign you.

purchased the steamers, locks, perquis-

them carefully.

AN ADMONITION.

Our respected brother of the Oregon
ian thinks that he will soon be done
with "CustOm Houses and all sublunary
things" We were not aware that he
was in a decline, and cannot but hope
that his apprehensions are ill-founded.
We hope he is not of that class of men
who ''want to die when women vote. ~
for if he is of that persuasion" the
chances are against his recovery. Well,
well, good brother, We cannot but admit
that your present state of "carnal secur-
ity'' is your worst symptom.

THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE QUESTION
Orc FinO Theater was filled last night
i'm every part by an intelligent audience
of ladies and gentlemen, who had as
sembled to listen to an address upon
Woman Suffrage from Miss Susan b.
Anthony, one of the few women of
America who have taken the forum i'm
advocacy of female suffrage. The
speaker was introduced by Mrs. A. ].
Duniway of the NEW NORTHWEST. and
spoke for over an hour, during which
time she was frequently applauded.
Her remarks were listened to with an
interest which betokened that she was
making marked impression upon her
hearers, very few of whom, perhaDs.
ever before listened to a woman lecturer
about WOman's Rights. She made
some very plain, blunt statements Inv
way of illustrating the necessity which
exists, according to her theory. for an
extension of the right of suffrage TO
women, and closed by saving that ALI
women have the right delegated to them
by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution, and
said that on Friday night she would
speak again, at which time she would
show how this right had been given to
women, and would appeal to them to
enforce their claims. On this occasion
Professor and Mrs. McGibeny are to
favor the audience with a number of
popular songs. Miss Anthony takes the
ground of appealing to the selfish nature
of mankind to gain her points for suf-
frage and power, and after twenty years
of moral appeal, having exhausted that
kind of logic, throws persuasiveness and
scOlding to the dogs, so to speak, and is
now open for an interview with any set
OF politicians or political party with
whom trade can be made of "present
power'' for "future votes" when women

Words to the Ladies,

Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing,
complain of tired, listless feeling, OF COM
plete exhaustion, on arising in the morning.
On the wife and mother devolvcs the re-
sPonsibility of regulating the duties of the
household. Her cares are numerous, and
the mental as well as the physical powers
are frequently called into requisition. She
often finds her slightest occupation a weary
task and existence burden, while at the
same time she has no regular disease. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, if resorted to at
this period, will prove an unfailing remedy
for this annoying lassitude. The effects Of
this potent agent are soon seen in the rosy
cheek and elastic step of the head of the
family as with restored health and renewed
spirits she takes her accustomed place in
the family circle. If this friend in need be
regularly used, those depressing symptoms
will never be complained Of and not only
would lassitude not be experienced, but
many diseases following its advent be avoid
ed. As q medical agent it has no equSl,
while its pleasing favor and healthful eff
fects have made it a general fayorite. It is
free from all properties calculated to impair
the system, and its operations are at once
mild, soothing and efficient. All who have
used the Bitters attest its virtues and COM
mend it to use.
