AN APPEAL FOR AID.

We have received a circular from the
proprietors of the well known Banner of
Light which states that that Office and
everything connected Herewith became
prey to the flames in the late disastrous
fire at Boston. This circular is a stirring
appeal to Liberals and Spiritualists
throughout the world for aid to enable
them to reissue the Banner. We think
our brethren made mistake that they
did not appeal to Christians also. Ger
tainly no Christian who is not altogether
bigot lin which case he could not be a
Christian at ALI who has been ac-
quainted with the Banner for the last
year can fail TO acknowledge the good it
is doing in reclaiming skeptics from the
error of their thought to a knowledge OF
everlasting life. We know of no Jour
nal that can take its place in the un-
folding of former day mystery and latter
day science, and we heartily say ''amen''
to the prayer of the publishers that "by
the blessing'of the Great Father of us
all, they may soon be enabled TO repub-
lish their beloved Banner OF Light"

WOMANS TEA COMPANY.

This firm, which was organized in the
city of New York some two years since,
under the financial control ofMiss King,
a wealthy real estate dealer of that city,
has proved a complete success. A first
class ship, the Madam Demorest, has
been fitted up and paid for, for the exclu-
sive use Of thes company, and is the first
ship ever owned and employed by wom-
Ell in their commercial enterprises.
1t will be remembered that Miss King
visited the tea-growing countries OF
China and Japan, spending nearly two
years in the interior, often penetrating
where no other American woman had
ever been, and collecting the purest tea
used by the natives. During our recent
visit to New York we enjoyed several
delightful drinks of this beverage at the
headquarters Of the company in the
basement of Madam Demorests Empo-
rum on Broadway, and can say truly
that this tea far surpasses the common
imported brands. The fine quality OF
this tea commends it to practical users,
and it is rapidly being introduced into
every town and village in the Union.
Madam Domorest, as President of the
company, evinces an executive ability
Of no common order, and her financial
intelligence is only equalled by her in
genuity of taste as queen of fashion and

EG0TISM.

So many good things are written for
our encouragement by friends whose we
faces we have never seen, as well as by
those who know US intimately, that we
are sometimes tempted to give samples
Of them to the public for the benefit of
our few but virulent detractors.
Mrs. +. A Corwin, of Nehalem,
whose husband introduced our Woman
Suffrage Bill at the last session of the
Legislature, writes as follows: go, if l
could only hear you lecture, feel that
my soul would be satisfied My hus-
band has told me Of you until feel ac-
quainted, but have a great desire TO
meet the woman after my own heart
Go on, good sister, in your noblest of all
good works. Pull up by the roots, and
scatter to the four winds of the earth,
the false ideas of the people. Scatter
the seed broadcast whose name is Truth
and Justice, and it shall spring up and
bear thee fruit thousand fold.

c. H. Bean, of Leland, writes: 'Please
find inclosed a new years subscription
to your valuable paper. have read il
for one year and am highly pleased
with it. wish you success in your no.
bic work"
We might print scores of such letters
had we space, but these are sufficient
for the time being. To all our noble
friends who are using their influence in
accelerating our work by remittance:
and kindly words We return thanks, and
we earnestly assure you that your aid /:

Now, We ask every reader to see if he
or she cannot send us one new subscriber

popular that you have but to make th'
effort and you will succeed.

BORROWERS.

To every borrowing reader Of the NEW
NORTHWEST whose eyes rest upon these
lines we say emphatieally. they are for
yOu. There is not another newspaper
in the State that is as eagerly sought af-
ter as is this one. Postmasters have
frequently assured us that it is difficult
to prevent the papers from being stolen
from regular subscribers before they
leave the office. And we often receive
solicitations for back numbers to COM
plete somebody's files, because the
owner "loaned the paper and failed to
get it back" Now, we like to have the
paper read, but we cannot afford to feed
an army of spongers with intellectual
food for which they yield us no equiva-
lent. It is no uncommon thing for men
and women of wealth TO borrow the pa
per regularly from some subscriber who
is herself in arrears, but who begs "for
a little indulgence about her subscrip-
ton because times are hard" We beg
each and all our subscribers to send US
the names of their borrowers, and IL
among them are any who plead poverty
to such an extent that they cannot pay
for the paper, as well as such mental
necessity that they cannot live without
it, we will send it gratis; but we do
want this borrowing business stopped.

\ STATE RULED BY WOMEN.
the Holland possessions there is a re-
markable little State which in its con-
stitution and the original customs of its
inhabitants, surpass the boldest dreams
Of American emancipation ladies. Upon
the island OF Java, between the cities of
Batavia and Samarang, lies the little
Kingdom OF Bantam. Although trib-
utary TO Holland, it is an Independent
State, politically without Importance,
yet happy, rich and since time imme-
mortal governed and defended by wom-
en-. The sovereign is indeed q man, but
all the rest of the government belongs
to the fair sex. The King is entirely
dependent upon his State council, COM
posed of three women. The highest
authorities, all State officers, court
functiOnaries, military commanders and
soldiers are, without exception, of the
female sex. The men are agriculturists
and merchants. The body guard of the
King is formed of the female elite.
These amaZOns ride in the masculine
style, wearing sharp steel points instead
of spurs. They carry pointed lance,
which they swing very gracefully, and
also musket, which is discharged at
full gallOp. The throne is inherited by
the eldest son, and in case the King dies
without issue, hundred elected anna
IONS assemble, in order to choose a sue
cessor from among their own sons. The
chosen one is then proclaimed lawful
King. The capital city of this little
State lies in one of the most picturesque
parts of the island, in fruitful plain,
and is defended by two well kept for
tresses.-FrODl the NoUeBlber GdLdJy.

DEATH OF HORACE GREELEY.

Since the departure Of the lamented
Do,,cIase no man of this Nation has
died neaceably in his bed whose services
tba country could so lily afford to spare
as Horace Greeley. Like Douglass, he
had become q power of reform among
the Democrats, and his place cannot be
filled in another decade. For more
than thirty years Mr.. Greeley has been
one of our most prominent public men.
AS a journalist he has had no superiors
and but few equals. His ready pen,
vigorous mind and vivid imagination
have left their impress upon our Ma
tion's history in deeds of ineffacable
good. That he has many times been
erratic, making mistakes which have
for a time dimmed the glory of his
fame, but proves that he was mortal.
But above all the blunders Of his life
time arises the grand and glorious and
abiding truth that he lived to become
indOrsed by his bitterest enemies, the
so-called Democracy Of America. What
other man has in his natural lifetime
made up such a record? But his work
upon earth is not yet done. Who shall
fill his place? Who but Greeley shall
be able to hold together the discOrdant
Democratic elements, which he alone
could cause to coalesce upon the plane
OF progression? True, Mr.. Greeley's
idea Of political progress was dimmed at
the last by his unreasonable prejudices
against Human Rights, as implied in
the very foundation of our National su-
perstructure, but the record he has left
us also proves that this prejudice was
but a blindness of his dOtage, and
harmed no one except himself His
more vigorous early manhood was op-
posed to the theory of sexual suffrage,
and if in his declining years he yielded
to the counsels of bad advisers, who led
him astray in this one particular for
their own aggrandizement the satisfac-
tiOn that their success in winning him
TO their false theories brought no harm
to the unrepresented half of our Repub-
lies humanity should cause us to for
give the error and forget the attempted
oppression. But TO whom will the
routed cohorts Of Democracy look for a
leader? What progressionist, save Mr..
Greeley, will their masses indorse?
And who is now TO be the Napoleon
who shall rally them from their Mos
cOus-like defeat?

Golden Silence.


Editor Adcocdte:-So il seems at last,
that our friend Of the NEW NORTHWEST
has turned preacher, ond discoursed OH
Sabbath evening on the Christ of NaZa-
reth, from an independent and progress
i've stand point. This reminds us of a
lady cousin We once had, who was n
source of no small anxiety in the family.
Anna Maria, was an old maid, a very
good woman indeed-a woman of exem-
plary character, of some talent and un-
doubted piety. She was perfectly unex-
ceptionable at all points except one, and
as that could not be helped, il had to be
endured. ARnd Maria ioOUld preach,
but as she never lectured on politics, and
for the best of reasons, gave no curtain
lectures at all, we became somewhat
reconciled, although the progression of
the primaries was not sufficiently ad-
vanced at that time to enable her friends
to feel perfectly easy.
To be plain about the matter. IL il our
opinion, that after occurrences of the
Temperance Convention at Salem. for a
lady TO drive like Jehu through no.
litical campaign, and then to lectsre ON
Sunday evenings in a theater on the
Christ OF Nazareth and the Christ of
Chrlstendom is making up bad record.
AND withal, very much like what a
French writer said of the Pope once, che
has omitted to improve an opportunity
of being silent he may never have
again" CREDo.

a WIFE's PowER.-The power of q
wife, for good or for evil, is irresistible.
Home must be the seat of happiness or
it must be forever unknown. A good
wife is to man wisdom, courage and
strength; bad one is confusion, weak
ness and despair. No condition is hope
less to a man where the wife possesses
firmness, decision aud economy. There
is no outward propriety which can
cOunteract Incidence, extravaganee and
folly at home. No spirit can long
endure bad influence. Man is strong
but his heart is not adamant. He de-
lights in enterprise and action, but to
sustain him he needs tranquil mind:
and especially il he is an intellectual
man, with q whole head, he needs his
moral forces in the conflicts Of life. To
recover his composure, home must be a
place of peace, of eheerfulness and COM
fort. There his soul renews its strength
and goes forth with fresh vigor to en-
counter the labor and troubles of life
But II at home he finds no rest, and is
there met with bad temper, sullenness.
jealousy and gloom, or is assailed bv
complaint sand censure, hope vanishes
and he sinks into despair. Such is the
case with too many who, might seem.
have no conflicts or trials of life: for
such Is the wife's power.

A LITTLE HEROINE.-A Brussels cor
respondent says that recently a poor
crippled girl, TO save her sister from a
weeks imprisonment, to which she had
been condemned for some slight offence,
herself confessed the crime, and went
there instead of the offender. The fraud
was detected after she had suffered the
punishment, and when brought before
the judge she wns sentenced to three
months Imprisonment, which, however,
she will now escape. Her answer to
the question what induced her 10 sub
stitute herself for her sister was, that
being a cripple, she could not maintain
her aged mother, which her sister had
done for long, long time, "and, there
FORE" she added, ait was better for me
to go to prison and let her be free" A
subscription has been started for the
girl, and much has been subscribed to
aid her and the family of so devoted a
heroine.
