$50 A YEAR.


We call the attention of those inter
ested in immigration scheme to the
English correspondence in this weeks
issue.
An annual salary of "thirty pounds"
for a governess with the accomplish
ments required by Mrs. Darcy and her
family of seven appears like practical
joke to our lady teachers who command
from fifty TO one hundred dollars per
month.
But let not our English governess i'm
agine that our harvest at such rates is
plenty, or our laborers few. To succeed
in this country, or elsewhere, requires
patience, economy and industry. Our
doors are open to all who come to us
thus equipped for life's rugged battle.
If the women of the old world who have
no hope to lay up the means for an in
dependent livelihood in their crowded
courts, are willing TO endure the priya-
tions of frontier life to secure themselves
or are willing o serve their
employers here in the cities with the
same zeal with which they are obliged
to serve their patrons at home, there is
no danger but they will always find
at fair living rates. But
let none imagine that fat salaries and
luxurious living simply await their
coming. The gods help those who help
themselves.

THE HOME.

The ladies Of the Relief Society are
happy to announce to the public that

der and ready for inspection.
The ladies would take this opportu-
nifty TO express their most grateful
thanks to the following gentlemen who
have so nobly assisted them in this good
work: The Oregon Iron Works, for a
cooking stove; Z. Milwain, for furnish
ing stove; Corbett & Failing, for a
large supply of cutlery; Holladay &
Biles, for wooden ware; Mr.. w. Jack
son, for liberal supply of erockery;

who have furnished wood; Messrs. Wat
kins, c. r. Hoffman, c. NJ. Rohel
and Spaulding, who furnished the Home
with meats, alternately for three
months; to the young ladies' Bible
Class No. IL, of the Presbyterian church,
for furnishing the Matron's room, also q

With feelings cheered and grateful fol
these donations, the ladies would here
say, that as cold weather is approaching
and the inmates are increasing, the sleep

More bedsteads, bedding and blankets
are needed. Will some who have not
yet given, come forward to complete the
good work in this line?

woMENs CAMPAIGN MEETINGS.

In the far East, as in Ohio, Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, California and Oregon,
the women's campaign meetings are the
most enthusiastic, well attended and
successful of all the political gatherings.
Column after column of newspaper
reports crowds our many exchanges
concerning these meetings, and the most
noticeable feature of them all is the rid
icule and bitterness with which the
Greeley-cratic-D assail the
women speakers.
All, brethren ofthe mans rights party,
we read your ranting raids and laugh at
your calamities. You, as builders, re-
jected the stone that has been made the
head Of the political corner, and now we
mock when your fear eometh. And
when you at last reach the point OF
respectful consideration" which now
is so far away from your minds eyes
that you cannot imagine it, Human
Rights will be so well established that
you will vow in your desperation that
you never were opposed TO them.

FANNY FERN.

This genial and ready writer, whose
beautiful ideas have enriched the pages
of the New York Ledger for the past
sixteen years, passed out into better life
on the 10th inst, leaving the whole
English reading world to mourn the loss.
Her name has been a household word i'm
thousands of families, where flowers
"born TO blush unseen" have had their
desert surroundings refreshed and glad
dened by her sweet creations; and now
that she has heard and answered the
welcome plaudit, at is enough; come
up higher,n let her fair name be en-
craven upon every woman's heart, and
let all who struggle in this weary world
of work and disappointment emulate
the beautiful life she led who is to US no
more.
The pomp and circumstance which
accompanied the burial rites of her
illustrious cOtemporary, VIM. ii. Sew
ard, were not for her, although equally
deserving; but there is consolation in
the thought that in the distant years OF
the dreamy future, mothers will lead
their children to her narrow home and
scatter fern leaves and roses upon heI
resting place, while little children yet
unborn will shed tears as they learn OF
her greatness. The Nation may not
rear a monumental pile to her memory
but she will live forever in the hearts Of
the people, and her works do follow her

think it best TO write to you myself, be-
ing desirous of securing a clever, good
governess for my children. There are
seven pupils, all different ages and ad-
vancemeht-twoy young ladies of seven
teen and fifteen; two boys of twelve and
ten; two girls of nine and seven, and a
little lad Of six. The course of instruc-
ton is thorough, sound English with a
pure accent, French, Drawing, Singing
and Music. In these she must excel, as
the young lady of seventeen plays re-
be well grounded in Arithmetic, and
the governess to be a good reader. The
two girls of nine and seven sleep in the
same room with her. She has q dress
ing-room attached to the bedroom.
The wardrobe has been always kept and
regulated by the governess. What the
two children connot mend she has to
do. No sickly or even delicate person
will answer. The family consists of
ten; therefore, if governness requires
nursing, it keeps the house in confus-

the morning; the evening bell at seven.

TERRIBLE CONDITION OF BERLIN
The accounts received on all hands from
Berlin poiIt to a terrible state of disor-
ganization in the capital of Germany.
Rents have doubled, and whenever a
family is evicted the populace take
sides with it, attack the police, and very
often win the battle. As it is the official
theory that the soldiers must always win
if called cut, at any loss of life, and as
Berlin mob is composed of soldiers who
do not like to fly, the Government is
most reluctant to appeal to the military,
and the police are often very hardly
treated. Crime, too, is rapidly on the
increase; Berlin is full of swashbucklers
who get into willful quarrels with civil
lans; and the sanity condition of the
city is the worst in Europe. There is no
scientific drainage whatever, the death
rate is double that of London, and if the
cholera affects n lOdgment it may be-
come endemic. The government, how
ever, with Sl,0O0OOO, 900 taken from
France, will not give the Berliners even
the $4,000 eXtorted from Paris, and the
Town Council cannot get rid of its old
tradition of saving pennies. 1t would
cost cash TO drain.

WOMAN COMMISSIONER.

Mrs. DR.. Sawtelle, whose indefatigable
exertions in behalf of immigration
have made her famous in the East, has
been successful in getting small appro-
priation from the Legislature to enable
her the better to prosecute her work.
We forgive the House reporter OF the
Oregonida for his little slur upon "ante'
and ''shade" in his report, in considera-
ton of the fact that he gave correct
figures. Said he:

which. TO the question 'sShall the bill pass, >, 9
responded aye and Is no; 50 the bill passed
Our brethren of the House evidently
need some tonic to strengthen their
spiral columns. This trying to dodge
any bill with woman's interests in it by
running before their names are called is
getting monotonous. We congratulate
Mrs. Sawtelle upon her success, which,
though it be small, is a step towards OPP
portunities for much useful and, we
trust, remunerative immigration work.
