WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN CONGRESS.

One Of the last acts OF the Forty-second Con-
greSs was the adoption by the Senate OF COnk-
lng's report, adverse to the petition Of Susan
B. Anthony asking for a female suffrage amend
ment to the Constitution; and this, too, in face
OF that plank in the Philadelphia platform
which favored female suffrage. This action OF
the Senate looks as II the Radicals were
trifiing with the sisters: piece Of conduct not
10 be tolerated. NEW NORTHWEST please copy.
Il Herald.
Congress begins to see, as we have all
along seen, that no Constitutional
Amendment is needed for wOman's en-
franchisement. Our contempory is mis-
taken about Susan B. Anthony having
presented such a petition. While women
are not disposed to stand particularly
upon the order Of their admission to the
Union, they are resolved to look for
such admission from the party that has
the power to grant it. But while jus
tice seems to tarry because Of masculine
cupidity, timidity and culpability, she
is in fact progressing rapidly. The
third or fourth year Of the present Adj
ministratiOn will see our efforts crowned
with success; and we do not expect TO
succeed because of mems love of free
dom, equality and justice, but because
the Republican party will find itself
compelled to grant this right to secure
a fresh lease of power. No doubt there
are Radicals in both parties who pre-
fer "trifling with the sisters" rather
than according them justice, but this
shortcoming of theirs will be powerless
to stay the on-marching car of pro-
gression. The three or four years delay
above alluded to is only sharp piece OF
political finesse. If the work were done
this year or the next the Republicans
would not reap the harvest from it to
which they are looking for food for fu-
ture campaign. Herald please copy.

CHILDREN EATING.-Wheneve
parent sees n child come to the break
fast table, nibble little, then go away,
death is in the distance, and may be
near in great many cases; in all there
is solid ground for apprehension OF COM
ing i'll in some form or other. This want
of appetite for breakfast may come on
very slowly; it may be weeks before 1t
is decided enough to be marked; so
much the worse for the child, because
greater will be the difficulty in righting
things.
If children are going to school, eating
should be made compulsory, or brain
disease will follow, sooner or later, for
the brain must be nourished, or restless
sleep follows, and in its train dreams,
nervousness, cold feet and hands, with
severe debility.
All school children should have plenty
of meat and bread for breakfast and dim
ner, with all the fruit and berries they
can get afterwards as desert; If not
these, then no desert ut all. 4 speedy
and easy way to remedy meal-time nib
bling is to begin with n supper of bread
and butter, and one cup of hot milk and
water, and nothing else; allow not an
atom of anything to be eaten between
meals, and compel them to be in bed by
nine o'clock. Within a weak hearty
breakfast will be the result, with an in
creasing vivacity, activity, life and en-

THE BIRTH OF A NEW CAREER.

Women will carry over to the future
a patriotism horn of adversely and trial,
more intense and purer than that Of the
past. Their love of country is filial and
therefore inextinguishable. The prin-
ciple of patriotism strikes root far down
in the tender conscience of woman
and its bloom will expand into 4 holy
passion, and the luscious fruit ripen into
deeds of love and mercy for the veal Of
the land.
The alloy Of selfishness corrodes and
burns away in the crucible, and her
patriotism Comes forth conquering and
to conquer" But those who remain
steadfast must be willing to suffer mar
tyrdom in the great conflict now pend
ing, by crucifying everything that has
a tendency to hinder progression. We
advocate the system of Human Rights,
and upon that doctrine, or the establish
ment Of Woman Suffrage, depends the
perpetuity OF our Republic. DoyOu ask
how, or where? The right of woman to
rOte is written in letters OF gold upon
those great instruments of Confedera-
tion and Union drawn up by the great
fathers of the Republic. They are in
the catechism of every honest party in
America. They are engrossed upon
every page of truthful history ever writ
ten. They are craven as with diamond
upon every respectable institution OF
the land. They are woven into the
very tapestry OF thought. And if ouI
views are false, may the Angel Of Pity
drop tear upon our catechism and blot
it out forever.
] solemnly declare that the principle:
advocated by the ladies of America il
regard to suffrage are the only genuin,
stepping-stones to Liberty and Inde-
pendence. Woman is the fountain
of power, and she must and will exercis,
the inalienable right of the ballot
Truth and Right extend a welcome hanC
to her, and the bright smiles Of Hop,
are beckoning her onward to the Beulal
/ land of civil and religious liberty. Many
are the anxious hearts beating for he
political welfare; but the dawn is near
and the sun of liberty will, ere long
rise above the national horizon, ant
burst into blaze OF glory, shedding ;
/ halo of golden light around the heads o
/ liberated millions.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

W. j. X, jacksonville: There is a
mistake, either with our books or your
daughter. II the books are correct, she
subscribed through q travelling agent
who received the per cent. as premium
for his work. Two premiums would more
than cover the subscription price. IL
would be amusing to US if it were not so
annoying to see the tenacity with which
some people cling to the idea that they
must be paid for taking paper. The
only inducement publisher has for Of
fering premiums is the expectation that
people will try to extend their circnla-
ton, yet we find that those who are
most eager for premiums are those who
work least for the paper. Go pay your
own subscription one year and then
order the paper sent to some other name
that you may thereby secure a premium
on two subscriptions without beneiiting
the publisher may be fun for subscribers
but it is death to the paper if acquiesced
in. We want all women to understand
that they are quite as much interested
in the NEW NORTHWEST rs we are, and
while we can and do pay premiums to
cdnuasscrs, or those who repcU and send
one or more new subscribers, We
cannot give premiums for the payment
Of old debts.
r. X. T., Dayton: Wrap your fine

them fast and put them into cold wate

add a little bleaching powder. Boil til

little indigo added. Then bake in tn
oven, taking care not to burn them.

TREES AND RAIN.-The influence of
the trees upon rain and the general
moisture of the atmosphere, which has
been much discussed of late, receives
a strong Illustration from the island of
Santa Cruz, West Indies. A friend who
spent the months of February, March
and April last upon the island, Informs
me that when he was there twenty
years ago, the island was garden of
freshness, beauty and fertility; woods
covered the hills, trees were everywhere
abundant, and rains were prOfuse and
frequent. The memory of its loveliness
called him there at the beginning of the
present year; when, to his astOnish-
ment, he found about one-third of the
island, which is about p miles long, an
utter desert. The forests and trees gem
orally had been cut away, rainfall had
ceased, and 4 process of desication be-
ginning at one end of the land had ad-
vanced gradually and irresistibly upon
the island, until for seven miles it is
dried and desOlate as the sea shore.
Houses and beautiful plantations have
been abandoned, and the people watch
the advance of desolatiOn, unable to re-
sist it, but knowing almost to a GER
tainty the time when their own habita-
tiOns, their gardens and fresh fields will
become a part of the waste. The whole
island seems doomed to become a des-
ert. The inhabitants believe, and my
friend confirms their opinion, that this
sad result is due to the destruction of
the trees upon the island some years
agO.-P0pUldr Scicace Monthly.

KEEP STRAIGHT AHEAD.-Pay no
attention to slanderers and gossip mon
gers. Keep straight on in your course,
and let their back-biting die the death
of neglect. What is the use OF lying
awake nights, brooding over the remark
of some false friend, that runs through
your brain like lightning? What is
the use of getting into Il worry and fret
over gossip that has been set afioat to
your disadvantage, by some meddlesome
busybOdy, who has more time than
character? These things can't possibly
injure you, unless, indeed, you take no.
tice Of them, and, i'm combating them,
give them standing and character. If
what is said about you is true, set
yourself right; il it is false, let it go for
what it will fetch. If bee stings you,
would you go to the hive and destroy
it? Would not n thousand come upon
you? 1t is wisdom to say little respect
ing the injuries you have received.
We are generally losers in the end, if
we stop to refute all the back-bitings
and gossipings we may hear by the
way. They are annoying, it is true, but
not dangerous SO long rs we do not stop
to eXpOstulate and scold. Our charac-
ters are formed and sustained by our
selves, by our own actions and purposes,
and not by others. Let us always bear
in mind that ''culumniators may usu-
ally be trusted to time and the slow
but steady justice of public opinion"

Mrs. DUNIwAY'S LECTURE.-Owing
to the inclemency of the weather there
was but a limited attendance at Orc
Fino Hall last Saturday evening, on the
occasion of Mrs. Duniway's lecture on
the life and services of Colonel T.. ID.
Baker. Those who did attend, however,
were amply repaid. Commencing at
the cradle, She sketched his life in glow
ing terms of praise until by sOrrowing
friends he was laid in his grave on Cali
fornia soil. Her tributes to his memory
were in many instances eloquent, evinc-
ing a worthy regard of his many super
ior qualities. Well selected extracts
from speeches delivered by him on i'm
portant questions of public nature were
sandwiched between her own remarks,
making her discourse doubly interesting.
She delivered scathing rebuke on
those whom she considered Indirectly
guilty of his untimely death ana eX-
pressed il as her own belief, as Wen as a
public sentiment, that had he lived lie
would ere this have filled the Presiden-
tial chair. Her remarks throughout
were of deep interest and were listened
to with marked attention by her near
ers. \ personal acquaintance win the
subject of her remarks endowed her
with additional confidence and she
handled her subject well. she closed by
reciting an original poem dedicated TO
Baker Post No. ], G. a. r., written in
an impromptu style which was weil
worthy of the hearty applause of appro-
baton bestowed at its close. Taken al
together, the effort on the part of the
lady was well appreciated.-Battetm.

WoNIAN's RIGHTS BEYOND JORDAN
Nasby's poem, "Hannah Jane and
Greeley's prose, alike give pitiful pic
lures Of the subordination OF woman in
her present position. Ignorant, help
less, degraded by her mutility and self
sacrifice, making the best men arrogant,
selfish, unjust, and the condition of most
wives Is simply that of upper servants
without wages.
| desire to see women thoroughly
reused TO the dignity Of their own indi-
vidual lives. There is not more pitiful
sight in nature than the grand women
all over this land, whose hopes, interests
and ambitions having been all centered
in some dead failure in pantaloons, are
now reaping a harvest of disappOint-
ment, discomfort and ill-starred depend
ence on broken reeds. Nasby, however,
promises these Hannah James" their
reward hereafter. The difference be-
tween the poet and me is that want
Hannah to learn to read, write and
cipher this side of Jordan. He wants
her to wait ON him during his earthly
career and take TO books in heaven.-

ORNAMENTAL TREEs.-This is the
season of the year to plant trees, and it
ought to be improved throughout the
state. Every one who plants tree and
nurses it beyond the danger of the first
season is a benefactOr, and his good
work will live after him. If every fam
lily, every man, woman and child would
plant one tree in each year our State
would be adorned beyond the possibility
Of conception. Supervisors would do
well to avail themselves of the privilege
of an existing law to enforce the growth
and culture of trees. Communities and
neighborhoods could profitably form So
cieties to do the same thing. Every
graveyard, church and school lot should
have its shaded picnic ground, its park
with ornamental trees. Every country
road and city street and village should
have trees on either side. Every farm
house should have its door-yard crowded
with trees. 1t would add beauty, wealth
and comfort to the State.

How \ WOMAN CHANGED A NOTE.-
At Caldwell, Warren county, the hang
ers round the polls stopped their rowdy
noise and coarse jokes rs a well-known
old man entered the polling place, ac-
companied by his neatly clad wife.
They moved on, through tobacco smoke
and worse fumes, through the aston
ished crowd, straight up to the polls,
where q Democratic board of inspectors
presided. Twas thought to be a case of
Woman's Rights-a demand to vote;
but it turned out that the calm and dig
nified old lady had no desire to vote
herself. 1t seems that her liege lord
was not n strong-minded man-was
somewhat in his dotage, and, although
a Republican, he had now and then
Welded to the Democratic strategy. BY
purchase, cOaxing or Misrepresentation
he had once or twice given his suffrage
to swell the majority of that Democratic
town. His wife determined that this
fall there should be no failure of full
duty and accompanied her voting half
for that purpose. The old man cast a
full set of Republican ballots, which it
took the demOraliZed board half hour
to receive, and then the aged pair
quietly left the room, and returned to
the humble abode, where dwelt this
sovereign and his brave old better, much
better half.-GleHR'S Falls IN. y Mes
