IMPORTANT.

AS our readers are in doubt and anx-
iety concerning the present fate of Su-
san B. Anthony, we will now give them
all we know about it. The Boston pa
pers say she is in prison. The Roehes-
ter papers say she is a prisoner, but is
allowed the freedom Of the city," The
Washington papers say she was in that
city on the 18th, holding a Woman Suf-
frage Convention, for which, as she has
no vote, she refused to pay license, and
was therefore remanded to a Washing
ton Jail. The telegraph says she is in
Jail In Rochester, Albany and Washing
ton. Verify, there are many Susan An
thongs, or the veracious telegraph and
public press are terribly obfuscated.
The above, in brief, are the facts (?) ac-
cording to our present knowledge, and
that knowledge is gained from the only
source we have for such information
namely, the public press and public
telegraph, both owned and controlled
by the uncertain creature, man.
In glancing over the above we fail to
see wherein we have been enabled TO re-
lieve the doubt or anxiety of our read
ers, but we have given them all we
know about it.

mented bread or liquors in their houses
on Passover week.
Christ kept the whole law; he said:
"rhink not that am come to destroy
the law or the prophets. am not come
to destroy, but to fulfill" Mat. I5:17.
Therefore the bread and the wine was
not fermented which the Savior used
when he said, ''This do in remembrance
of me until come"
The Jews had three kinds of liauor
called wine. One was the unfermented
juice of the grape, which they put into
new bottles, made of skin, and sunk
in pools Of water, thus preserving it
many years. This was the wine used
by Christ at the Passover, and at the
memorial Of his death, and the same
was used at the wedding where Jesus
and his disciples were present; and the
wine that he made was the same in
kind that they had been drinking, for
the ruler of the feast perceived no differ
ence, only that it was better. Jesus
would not have incurred the curse pro-
nouneed by the prophet: "Woe unto
him that giveth his neighbOr drink
that putteth the bottle to his lips, and
maketh him drunken"
At the time Paul told Timothy to fuse
nolonger water, but take a little wine
for his stomach's sake and often infirm-
ities," Christians were in the habit OF
great self-denial, that they might have
means to give to them that were in
want. Paul thought Timothy was car
rying his abstemiousness too far; that
he needed a more generous diet, and
this wine was not only very nourishing,
but for week or dyspeptic stomach
was medicinal. In recommending this
wine Paul does not contradict himself
when he says "neither thieves, nor Gov.
etous, nor extortioners, nor drlnkdrds
shall inherit the kingdom of God.r

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Mary o. B., Seattle: Your communi-
cation has been received with the Eek
tracts" We do not think the ours who
bark at you worth noticing. A lion
when annoyed by skunks prudently
passed them by. You did your duty
nobly in Seattle, and We gloried in the
opportunity to parade your work as
that of a woman who knew her duty
and performed it thoroughly. When
you shall have been barked at as often
as we have, and shall have realized how
little you are hurt by it, you will Won
der atyour present annoyance. When
you probe moral ulcer the victims who
are hurt will writhe, and you can't help
1t. Let them writhe. 1t is evidence
that somewhere in their corrupt organ
ism there is an element of vitality that
is not yet dead to the work of the seal
pei.

that you did not send your maiden
name, that we might know whether or
not we remember you. But What an
idea. to suppose that because our influ-
ence has become extended we should
feel that it would be presuning in you
to "claim acquaintance" Dear friend,
we are but "plain teacher" yet. We
never expect to get above that honora-

You will find us just as ready now to

you privately about that business mat

5. s., Salem: The poem shows crude
but plain, common sense view of the
subject it treats of, but it is not up to a
high enough literary standard to suit
our columns. We give you two stanzas
as "keep-sake." Let the author look
at them after twenty years, and he will
thank us for advising him to keep out
of print yet a little longer:
In the country all your neighbors,
Though scattered far about,
Whenever you're in trouble,

Have their brains down in their heels,
And never feel emotion

THE CENTRAL MARKET.

If any one doubts the unparalleled ell
terprise of some of Portland's wealthiest
citizens, let such a person visit the Cen
trail Market and closely note its superior
regulations. Nowhere in the East is
there a finer building of the kind, and
nowhere in our travels have we found
choicer edibles, more accommodating
dealers, or cleaner, better arranged or
better kept market stalls. Capt. An
keny, one Of Oregon's pioneers, who is
in himself q living reputation Of the
slander about '1azy Oregonians," which
our California brethren delight to hurl
in our teeth-and which we as easy
going, goOd-natured people, who can
afford to be misrepresented, take little
trouble to contradict-constructe this
market at immense cost, and with an
especial view to the growing needs of
the Metropolis. The building is of sub
stantial masonry, supported byenormous
/ pillars, ornamented-but-w we're
no architect, so we can't tell anything
about it, only that the effect is tasteful
and delegant. Entering the buildingatthe
west opening, you find yourself greeted
/ by a marble counter behind which a
temptingly loaded table of savory good
things greets your olfactories, and if
you are not hungry makes you wish
you were so. Here are tables in sight,
tables behind a screen and chairs upon
which you can sit while partakiug of a
/ hurried lunch at the counter aforesaid
! An open door in the rear reveals a range
and all the necessary paraphernalia ap-
/ pertaining to the latest culinary i'm
provements. Here the odor of tea and
coffee greets you like a memory of the
good old days when your mother con-
cocted just such beverages at her own
kitchen fire.
Leaving this cheerful display you pass
stalls upon both sides of the build
ing devoted to poultry, meats, fruits,
vegetables, fish, game, cheese, butter,
eggs, etc, in great variety and all we'll
kept and tempting.
The floor of the broad promenade is
made of concrete, which is comfortably
overlaid with saw dust, making a de-
lightfnl lettering place during the prev
alent rains. On Saturday evening fine
music is furnished cautiously, making
this pleasant place of resort for prom
enade, pastime and melody.
Capt. Ankeny is expecting by next
steamer pyramid to adorn the central
stand, costing some three thousand dol
dollars. Next week we hope to give a
description of this from personal OBJ
servation, and shall also give details oI
the names and business of those sensible
stall owners in the market who adver.
tise in the NEW NORTHWEST. Look
out for particulars, gentlemen.

he GOT FRIGHTENED.

ROsEBURG, Feb. Z, 1878.
Dear Mrs. DtAliW0y You asked me
to send you something for publication.
And as 1 have gone and frightened one
man, if not more, think it high time
to confess and seek absolution. Oh,
how sorry L ought to feel because I
wrote that letter and forgot and called a
P. NJ. efieminate, but didn't mean any
body, and everybody's laughing because
they thought did mean somebody, and
Pm so 'shamedl
You don't know what mean? Well.
I'll be serious and tell you all about it.
For some time l have been thinking So
riousfy that 1 would like to be postmis-
tress of this place, but being a female
L was aware of the strong tide against
me, and not caring to take step in the
matter unadvised, wrote to J.B.Un-
derwood, Special Agent of the Post Of
flee Department at Eugene City, stating
my wishes and asking his advice. I
happened to say in that letter that 7
thought "a strong-minded woman could
keep post office as well as an effemi-
nate man." This seemed to please the
Hon. J. B., and being in company with
d. C. MeClelland of this place at the
time whom he supposed to be friend
and gentleman), he quoted the sentence
and told him the purport of my letter,
telling him he believed would get the
office and he should help me. All this
he pledged him not to divulge. But
this Judas is a true believer in the
divine right of man to rule woman as
he wills. He it was who gave a free
dance the night Miss Anthony lectured
here; and seeing good point in this
whereby he might defeat me, he has
tened to Roseburg with all speed and,
like a good boy, told all he knew. And
my friend Hardy, becoming frightened,
armed himself with remonstrGnce'a and
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1873-02-14

made good the opportunity to circulate
it as a petition, and secured the names
of almost every Uotc- in town before
they knew that anyone wished or even
cared aught about the post office. All
this was nicely done before L received
an answer from my letter, or even
dreamed that anyone here knew OF its
existence. Now, for d. c. McClelland
can say that I never stoOp to cast dirt
upon anyone, but in all kindness L ad-
wise him to read the history of his an
cient ancestor in the New Testament.
For friend Hardy will say l did not
call him effeminate, and unless the shoe
fits he ought not to wear it. Really,
there's nothing disgraeeful about being
effeminate; who knows but it may yet
be honorable? Not ten years ago the
| term ''strong-minded" attached to any
woman's name was q stigma, dis
grace, and but few women had the
moral courage to bring down upon
themselves the scorn and contempt of
friends and society at large; but to-day,
my friends, we not only feel proud, but
hOnored by that title. We know, too,
that all good and moral men are rally
ing around us.
The next great issue will be rum and
anti-rum, and with the Temperance
army we will march on till we plant
the flag of equal rights on the mount of
victory, where it will triumphantly
wave over a free people. This power is
being felt all over this country. Soon
this whisky Government will begin to
tremble, then totter, and then fall. o,
man, could you but view this woman
movement with unbiased and unselfish
eyes, you would acknowledge that we
are working for your salvation, and not
for your degradation.
Five years ago had written a dozen
letters to the Postal Agent no one would
have felt concerned; perhaps no answer
would have been thought necessary;
certainly no remOnstrance would have
been circulated as a petition, and no
Judas would have been required to do
the gossip Of lredk-minded women. But
"presto, change" a letter has been
written; men are about to be ousted a
, woman, yes, woman is in the field;
/ the battle must be fOvght; strategy
must be resorted to, or we are lost! Ha!
ha! hal Friend Hardy, advise you to
get life lease, for l assure you that in
four years time there will be some other
strong minded woman in the field who
, may wish to become pOstmistress of the
: Roseburg Office. 3. a. o.

PORTLAND CORRESPONDENCE.

PORTLAND, Feb. 3, 1878.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
II is with sincere pleasure that see
so many names attached to the call for
Woman Suffrage Convention. / am
glad to see that the friends of Equal
Rights are beginning to realize the
necessity for more united and energetic
action. Let us have the Convention by
all means, and may its results be grand
and salutary, and may the good work go
on'until the battle of woman's enfrar-
chisement is fought and won, until we
stand upon the glorious nights of Uni
versal Freedom, and woman's exalted
patriotism findsexpression at the ballot
box.
"Breathes there a WOMAN with soul so dead
Who never to HERself has said,
This Is my own, my native land -"
And yet men seem to think that this
land is theirs exclusively; that love of
country is confined entirely to their
own sex. But we too were born on
American soil. We too love the dear
old Flag; and although this is called
''the land of the Free" and the Declara-
tion of Independence guarantees '1ife,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
alike to all within our borders, yet we
know that one-half of the inhabitants
do not possess these rights. OF course
they are very kindly allowed the life
which a benificent Creator bestowed
upon them, but that they are allowed
'liberty and the pursuit of happiness
we deny. And yet, who taught men to
love the land of their birth, the flag OF
our Union, Republican institutions, q
Government of the people, by the peo-
pie, for the people? None will deny
that it was the mothers. We are the
mothers OF the race, and as such not
only ask, but demand to be recognized
as citizens of these United States. Oul
hearts burn with indignation, that meu
should thus arrogate to themselves al
the rights and immunities of American
citizenship. No wonder that women
as class, sympathize with the slaves
/ for,
"We yield to none in earnest love
Ofiiberty sublime"
And look forward, expecting in the moi
distant future, to witness the emancipa.
/ tion of our own sex. Woman's purify
ing influence has been, and still is felt
i'm the Church and in the social circle
Why not try it in the affairs of State
| Surely it is needed.
"The price of liberty is ineessant vigi,
lance" Then let us be vigilant. Wher
woman is enfranchised, then, and no
till then, will the "Star Spangled Ban
ner wave over the land of the free
Then, and not till then, will it be
'rhe flag Of the free,
Emblem OF sweet liberty"

The Passover was feast of the Israeli

saving of the first-born OF the children
of Israel by the Staying of lamb ana

The destroyer was not suffered to come
into their houses. The Passover was
the commencement of the feast of un-

being thrust out of Egypt in such
hurry that they had no time to prepare
food for their journey. ''There shall be
no leaven found in your houses, for

DEAR NEW NORTHWEST:
The "Credit Mobilier" investigation

cry revelations" the exposure of "Sen-

rest and his case referred to the Grand
Jury, and the unearthing Of corruption,
political frauds, perjury and knavery i'm
almost every town, city and county

mighty uncle, whose surname is Sam

woman, did she possess unlimited polit-
ical power and a desire for chaos, to
make worse than they now are. Let

DEDICATION OF THE CENTRAL
SCHOOL.

The elegant and commodious new
Central School building was densely
crowded on last Monday evening to wit
ness the ceremony of dedication. The
choir was composed Of about $50 school
children, who, under the leadership of
Professor AIcGibeny, gave good evidence
of careful training. Frank AIcGibeny,
a lad of nine years, deserves special
mention for his skill as violinist. The
little fellow throws his whole soul and
body into his swelling, trembling and
exultant harmonies, and when his piece
is executed and he sits down TO rest, his
frame heaves all over with excitement.
Professor McGibeny is especially prof.
cient in training choruses, and we are
pleased to see deserved recognition of
of his merits by the School Board in
giving him a salary sufficient to induce
him TO cultivate the youth of our public
schools in the sublime art Of singing.
Hon. J. F. Caples, whose well known
forensic powers have won for him an
enviable reputation, addressed the as
sembled multitude in one of his happiest
efforts We are sorry we were unable
TO obtain a verbatim report Of his ad-
dress throughout, as it was one which
Portland may well be proud Of. In this
brief report we shall make no effort to
give his language, as We could not do il
justice. Sufficient it to say that it was
elegant, eloquent and appropriate. He
took decided stand in favor of equa
rights among the teachers, regarding
equal pay for equal work as one of the
righteous demands Of woman, for which
she and all friends of humanity mus
contend. 1t would, perhaps, have beer
considered out of place by some preju'
diced anti-suffragist, fer the speaker tC
add that political representation is the
basis of financial equality, but We
respectfully suggest to our brother that
no better opportunity could have beer
given for the public declaration of 81
sound a principle than the occasion herr
presented-unless, indeed it be that ou
Woman Suffrage Convention, whicl
meets to-day, shall prove the bette
place for him to proclaim the fact.
But we are not yet done with Profes
sor McGibeney's class. After prayer b.
Mr.. o. S. Phelps, the choir sung 9TH
Flag of the Free" Master R. Giltne
followed with an address of welcome
which was rendered in mastery style
"Away to the Hills" by the choir, wa
highly appreciated. "The Star Spangle
Banner was sung at the close of Nj
Caples' address, after which Professo
Johnson, Principal of the High School
was presented by the pupils with al
elegant copy of Shakespeare, which evi
IDENTIFY surprised and gratified him. Hi
remarks were well-timed and appropri
ate. The National anthem "Americai
was rendered in chorus by the pupil
and the exercises concluded by the Dox
ology from the audience, and benediC
tion from Rev. G. II. Atkinson.

CALL FOR A WOMAN SUFFRAGE
CONVENTION.

At a meeting of the Multnomah
County Woman Suffrage Association,
held on the 18th of January, 1873, it was
decided TO call q mass meeting Of the
friends of Woman Suffrage in the State

firm, persistent, energetic action, and
we earnestly urge the friends to make
an effort to be present and participate
in the deliberations. We wish to organ
ize a permanent State Society, to meet
once in each year, and we also urge the
formation of auxiliary County Societies,
to meet whenever they may choose.
Eminent speakers and essayists from
all parts of the State and Territory are
expected to be present and take part
i'm the debate.
The California State Suffrage Society
is invited to cooperate.
