ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERIES. "A London

interesting description Of some results Of recent
explorations in Asia Minor. 1t says;

once return at the conclusion Of the struggle,
but went over into the Sultans regime and
haunted the sites Of the Seven Churches. NJ.

around llcrapolis and the meadows at the foot
of the hill OF the Seven Sleepers, and this he did

attention around Ephcsus, near the korassian
chain. From the sea Whose outline has been

the ruins of the ancient Church of Ephcsus
and the Turkish village of AvaSsoluk, place
of live hundred or six hundred Inhabitants.
Near this village, which is some two miles
from the sea, Mr.. Wood fixed upon spot
where he resolved to make excavations. 1t
was apparently as unpromlslng spot as tie

classical books which described the famous
temple of Diana, and concluded to begin at that
point. He was almost Immediately rewarded by
coming upon an old wall, which being uncover

indeed, operates as the greatest obstacle to the

shark is the pest and terror of the whole
frontier, doing nothing to stimulate settlement,
but following the path of the adventurous aud

princes, with splendid estates stretching miles

Nominally the public lands are free to actual

general rule an emigrant had better make
short work of it by buying a tract within tue
settlements than to strike out ahead. Authen-

sharks have combined to discourage and drive
away actual settlers, in order to buy up their
lands for mere song. And this is called set

MRS. NJ. P. SAWTELLE.

This lady has just returned from the
East, where, after graduating at the
Bellevue Medical College, she turned
her attention toward inducing women
TO immIgrate to Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. And to pave the way and
offer inducements and encouragement
for such immigration Mrs. Sawtelle
went to Washington for the purpose of
getting through Congress, if possible,
bill giving women the same home
stead rights as men, or even better, il
Obtainable. Her efforts were 80 far sue
cessful that bill for the purpose, which
we published some time since, has been
introduced in Congress and will un-
doubtedIy pass at the next session, it
having, in all probability, been intro
duced too late for any action to be taken
at the last session.
Mrs. SawtelIe intends residing at
klamath Lake, TO which point she
has induced quite n colony from the
Eastern States, which will probably
arrive this summer or next fall, to per
manently locate.
Personally, Mrs. sawtelle is well
pleased with her Eastern visit, and we
never saw her in better spirits than
when in our sanctum last Sunday. a
life of honor and usefulness, already in
deed begun, lies before her. May sue
cess ever attend her.

LABOR STRIKES.

The telegraph brings reports of inn
mense strikes in New York City in
nearly every department Of labor.
Wendell Phillips a short time since very
appropriately said that New York was
but Paris in a quiescent state, and that
the Communist mob was a likely result
of conflict between labor and capital in
America as well rs France. And, in
deed, when one reads of the police scat
tering angry and threatening crowds
of horny-handed and strong-muscled
toilers, it would not be surprising to
read of deeds Of violence, bloOdshed, ra-
pine and plunder in consequence. For
tunately, however, the American inn
pulse is not so quick and fiery as the
French, else long ago would the OPP
pressed, down-trodden and ignorant
working masses of New York have
made the streets of the great American
metropolis run blood.
This conflict between capital and Ia
Dor is by no means a strange one. The
mass OF the working people of New
York labor on from year to year for a
pitiful allowance barely sufficient to
meet the necessary expenses of life,
while their employers are continually
growing rich and prosperous-''the rich
growing richer and the poor poorer"
Ignorance and crime are the conse-
quent results, and it is no wonder that
every year SO many are added to the
ranks of law-breakers and criminals.
The correction of this state of affairs
lies with the capitalists themselves. II
they continue to oppress the working
masses as they have done and are now
doing, there will surely come, sooner or
later, a day of mad vengeance and terri
BILE retributiOn.
