ln one OF the battles in General Grants
famous campaign in the West, Major Nor
derwel!, Of Genuesee, New York, was shot
square through the body. The ball entered
bis stomach, went through the intsstiues,
and passed out Of the back close 10 the
spinal column. 1t is said that the Major
was one of the very few so shot during the
war who recovered. But this is not the ex-
ceptional feature OF his case. The ball car
led along with it gold pen and part OF tie
pen case that held it, aad which, when be
was hit, were in the wounded mans vest
pocket: and the ball in passing out left the
pen and casa in the Msjor'a body behind it.
Since then those articles have been wander
ing about, probably trying to pass out too ::
and, finally, part ( the pen, at least, has
succeeded.

FASHION.

We don't know but we should have
forgotten our fashion article this week if
it hadn't been for the Heralds local.
This dapper little darling is so much
more at home in describing the mys-
teries Of ladies' toilets than in reporting
their speeches that we have half a mind
TO set him up in business as a dress
maker. Hear him:
For the benefit OF our lady readers we give the
following fashion notes: 4 very pretty addition
To the toilette Is one or two Spanish or SDeDcer
waists OF pink or blue silk, or any other becom-
ing shade: these are sometimes laid in plaitS.
and sometimes made plain; the plaits may be
trimmed with either white or black lace. or q
fchu Of white OF black lace may be worn over
them. These waists have been much worn
with white and black SILK skirts this summer,
and they viii he worn also this winter. Mo-
rocco belts are very popular for morning wear,
especially those which possess all the little
convenieHces for holding thimbles, keys, scent
bottles, etc, etc. No lady considering her
toilette complete nowadays without the vim
aigrette, nom which IL may be inferred that the
old fashioned disease Of nerves has come up
again.
If any namby-pamby, lackadasiacal,
die-away sort of a fashionable belle can
beat that, we'd like to see her, that's all.
a lady at our elbow says she'd like to
order some of those spencer waists"
She hasn't seen 'em yet.
A polonaise or close cut paletot, with
pelerinse cape or large collar, will be the
fashionable garment for girls for early
fall wear.
Deep fiounces are more in favor than
narrow ones. When both are used in
combination, the narrow one is above.
Demi-trains are TO be adjusted fol
street wear by means Of tapes to looI
them up to the waist at the back seams
Large jet or tortoise shell butterflies
with gilt edges, are worn in the center
of a large bow on the top of the head.
Satin and velvet striped silks will be
very much worn next season, with plain
silk or cashmere overdresses.
The general effect in the new style oi
hair-dressing is Grecian, but As rough
and frowsy as ever.
Very long coat-shaped postillions are

SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

One necessary reform which is calling
loudly to the people for speedy recOgni-
ton is an amendment to the Con-
stitution, providing that Senators may
devoted forat the general State elections.
Under our present regulation in this
matter there is more opportunity for
bribery, corruption and fraud, and
greater chance for defeating the will Of
the people, than in any other political
contest. A man would indeed be a
paragon Of immaculate perfection who
could 60 unscathed through all the
vicissitudes attendant upon the excite
ment, aspiration and accompanying
trickery of such a siege. And one would
be more than human who could COM
placently bear the pecuniary depression
consequent upon the necessary outlay
connected with defeat. Aside from
pecuniary considerations inseparably
connected with such a contest, the
moral debasement Of the whole COM
munity is fearful to contemplate. Men
who never before imagined that they
could be induced to barter their high
prerogative of the ballot, are in these
contests driven or led, like animals, to
traffic in the greatest right pertaining to
citizenship. And when a man is once
induced TO sell his vote, his moral man
hood is prostituted to the destinations o
gain, aud he is heneeforth good 70

gogue who may wish to buy him.

tions. IT has been with the greatest diff
fieulty that could make these appoint
neuts over their heads. \ point of in
terest i'm this matter is the fact that out
of all the women I have appointed, but
one has proved unworthy of the trust,
and she was a chronic defaulter. She
would not render her accounts without
the greatest difficulty TO the Post Office
Department, and when forced to do so,
her friends would come to the rescue
and make up the deficiency, 50 that the
Government was never the loser; but at
last we were compelled to dismiss her.
Another woman was, however, put in
her place. This is the only instance OF
the kind. They have proved better OFF,
GERS, in some respects, than men, for the
reason that they give their undivided
attention to it, while men, on the con-
trary, especially if the office be a small
on, do not attend to it themselves, but
give it over to the care of a clerk.
think, too, many of the offices in the
department could be given TO them
Where they are capable of filling them
they should be given to women i'm pref
erence to men. The work is easy, light
and every way suited to them, and it j:
right that they should have them. This
has been my view from the first, and a
I remarked before, l should have ap
pointed many more, and to more i'm
portant places, had sufficient infiuene,

matter in our present Legislature. We

pared and is ready to present bill foT

and count the votes of women. \
number Of prominent Oregon ladies are
petitioning us to grant this boon, that
they may vote next November for Grant
and Wilson. If it please that Honorable
Body we shall be delighted to present
this petition in person. We assure our
brethren of the Senate and the House
that women will do them good and not
evil all the days of their lives. We are
going into their Councils, not to destroy
the law, but to fulfill, and we shall go,
too, imbued with the consciousness that
men are not our enemies, but our friends
and that they need but to know the will
Of the leading minds among Oregon
women to grant unto them their just
deserts. We ask that no woman shall
be compelled to vote, but We do also
pray that those who desire to exercise
this duty shall have their right to do SC

the inevitable, and thus secure unto
herself that well-merited distinction
throughout the world which she needs
to make her fame and glory fully ap-
