The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1872-05-31

81 think he's splendid" L answered
heartily, and then-there being but one
Itep from the sublime to the ridiculous |
L could scarcely help adding, "Go the
whole hog or noner But you know it
would have been pity to mar my over
by such an exclamation.
Mrs. Woodruff spoke freely of the
abuse and Misrepresentation of which
she had been and is yet the victim, but
says these prosecutions have purified
her, and that they would not have been
allowed by her spirit guides if they had
not been needed. She is a woman of ex-
fine form and presence, and
possesses a sort of magnetic power over
the ignorant rabble who flock to her
standard. 1t is not surprising that her
ways and matehless converse
tional powers hold wild sway over men,
bers of Congress and other notables.
Next / was introduced to Col. Blood,
who was excessively glad to see the edi-
tor Of the NEW NORTHWEST, whose pa
per he said was, without doubt, the
spieiest and raciest publication in the
United States. Returned the compli
ment by praising the undisputed ability
of WoOdh,M and Gdfin's Weekly, at
which its evident-though unacknowl-
edged-head smiled radiantly.
Was urged to take seat on the plat
form. Respectfully declined.
Met Tennie c. Clafiin. She is not so
beautiful and refined as her sister, gives
unmistakable evidence of Irish origin
and "lops'' from one side to the other
very much as she walks, somewhat like
a eOrpulent Jewess; but she is pleasant
and amiable, and If / could believe her
pure in morals, should really like her
AS it is, like her just as well as any
man whom l unwillingly suspect Of un-
mentionable peccadilloes.
At 8 A. NJ. on Saturday repaired to
the Westmoreland hotel, where Stan
ton, Hooker, Anthony and Jones were
dOmiciled, and it was decided that /
should accompany Mary f. Davis, wife
of the renowned Andrew Jackson, to
Apollo Hall.
Mrs. Davis, who takes no stock in the
wOman-negro nomination, took a seat
in the gallery, and /, bent upon diseov-
cries, but otherwise agreeing with her
stepped forward and seated myself neai
the reporters table beside a nervous,
fidgety doctor, who was plethoric with
/ a huge resolution.
"Who is that villainOus, great fellow
with a red face, neck like Hercules, and
eyes like n salmon's, sitting there tax.

''Thars the reporter for the New Yorh
World" was the reply.
"And who is that man with iron-gray
side locks, narrow skull, pop eyes anC
black eyeglasses sitting beside him p
"Oh, he's reporter for the Tribune"
"And that soft-looking fellow, Will
pouting lips and feebly sprouting nous
tache-who's he?"
"Reporter for the Sun"

bushy head and great, club-like hands
whose reporter is he, pray?"
"He's not on the regular line. He's
rat. Reports for the Star or any othe
hungry sheet that will employ him.
"But why don't newspaper men EN-
ploy reporters of at least average abil
ity? These men can't comprehend al
idea"
"Men of brains wouldn't do reporter

are willing to give"

Mrs. Belva Lockwood read a well pre-
pared and logical discourse on the lega
status of women. Wish every womal
in the land would read it. 1t is TO b
printed in Woodhulrs paper.
Saw Laura DeForce Gordon sitting il
the back of the hall, and, curiosity be
ing satisfied, Joined her and Mrs. Davis
and was introduced to Andrew jackson
Davis and Col. Fox, of Chicago, edito
of the Present Age, Spiritual paper.
"What do you think of all this p
