MRS. WALDROE's BENEFIT.

Never has there been a more fiattering
testimonial of appreciation bestowed
upon public favorite than the benefit
recently rendered to Mrs. G. B. Wal
dron by the theater-going public Of this
city. And the best of it is that Mrs.
WaldrOn's life in public and private
proves that she deserves it all. The
legitimate drama was the first field that
opened for woman a scope for the
remunerative display of other than
domestic talent. Never, until within a
very few years, has the stage actress, no
matter what her moral worth and
purity, been considered as other than
profiigate. But n few women, like
Anna Cora Mowatt tRitchieand Mrs. G. b.
Waldron-how we wish the latter would
flourish her own feminine name, instead
Of the masculine one Of her husband
have by their private and public con-
duct proved their ability to elevate not
only themselves, but hestage. Through
their influence the legitimate drama Is
fast becoming great public educator
for good, morals, good sense and good
manners. The cant about the i'm
propriety of woman's public work falls
to the ground before the dawn Of bright
examples such as these. One by one
the women are coming before the pub
lie, and conquering the strongholds Of
Ignorance and prejudice, and the more
Intelligent class Of men, rejoicing in
their good example, are coming forward
with substantial tokens Of friendship
and hattering testimonials Of apprecia-
tlon. We rejoice at this public recogni-
ton Of Mrs. Waldron's merits. We re-
Joiee in it, not only for her sake, but for
TIE sake Of womanhood. Woman is
purifying the social circle. the church
and the stage. Her influence in all
these circles is scarcely 10 be computed
And she viii yet, untrammeled bv f.Isa
ideas Of mistaken custom, WELD ber IN
fluence in the arena Of business ana noI-
itics, and man, well pleased. win
applaud her labors aud reward then, os
they deserve.

WHAT SHALL We BELIEVE2

Now comes the Bulletin with a de-
NAL, from the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle, that our Susan was remanded
TO Jail at all. II this be the case we are
all sold, and grandly sold, too, by that
very reliable public disseminator of
knowledge, the electric telegraph. But
where, oh where, is the Rochester Dem
Ocrat and CbrOncle2 And where indeed
is our Susan that she fails TO greet us
with her usual epistolatory favors 4?
The telegraph again tells us that the
Woman Suffrage Convention in Wash
ington was forbidden to proceed because
our Susan refused, not being an ae-
knowledged voter, to pay license to hold
the meetings. This same reliable mes
sage bearer also says that Miss Anthony
is now in Jail in Washington. Now
who are we to believe, or what? Car
the public telegraph, in the hands o
private corporations, thus go on foreve
in exercise Of q villainous ambition t.
falsify facts, and will our Associates
Press, who foot the bills, be willing 4
be gulled forever?
Now, We see Susan in prison, and on
heart goes out to her in her solitude an
our rising wrath expands itself int
exclamations Of honest indignation
again we see the possibility that tn
whole story is a fabrication of lies, an
we cry in uncertainty Of spirit, "Oh, 70
the day when humanity will be willin
TO be led by truth and truth onlyl Oh
for the day when man will become 5
honest that he will not pay his none
for the doubtful benefit ofs bein
hoaxed.n
Just as long as the proprietors of telC
graph lines can get pay for sensations
lies, and just as long as the press like
TO be misinformed, just so long will the
get false statements, and so long wi
the people remain in ignorance of in
portaut truths. But the question i
Where is Susan?

the call of the Multnomah county

spirit of liberality, accepts by telegraph
our invitation to cooperate, and we
hope to see some Of her ablest workers

essays, poems, stories, speeches and res
olutions. Come with free hearts and
willing hands, leaving all political and
religious bias at home, resolved to work
with will for the dissemination oi
Of light, and we shall have meeting
which shall bear fruit to the well being
Of this Nation. Remember, friends,
you are not to wait for personal invita-.
tlons. This work belongs not TO us
alone, but to you; to every man and
every woman who realizes the worth oi
freedom and the priceless boon q
Human Rights. Let those who cannot
COME, send letters containing theil
views, to be read before the Association
In brief; let every lover of justice
come out and work with us, regardles,

LEST THEY BE DISCOURAGED.-A
father had given his son a book, and, as
he was going away to preach at a dis
tant appointment, spoke Of the ap-
prOpriateness of his spending his leisure
hours on the Sabbath in reading it.
When he was gone, a sudden impulse
seized the boy to win his fathers ap-
provaI by seeing how much he could
read. So, every moment he could gain,
he read in his new book, thinking all
the time how pleased his father would
be with his diligence. When he re-
turned he hastened jOyfully to meet
him, showing him the mark, and tell
ing him the number of pages he had
read. But the father was cold and tired,
and, worse still, was thoughtless. So
he hastily put the boy aside, with the
chilling words, "You could have read
twice as much"
If blow had struck the boy to the
earth, it would have been a slight in
jury, compared with the blow to the
spirit. 1t crushed hopelessly, for the
time, all aspirations, all efforts after
knowledge. It made him look almost
with aversion on his father. The scar
on the spirit was carried away into
manhood. The book stood on his H.
brary shelf, but the mark had never
been moved. No additional page was
ever read in it.
Oh, how we need to watch ourselves
in these moments of weariness and per-
plexity! Hasty, petulant words, where
a child looks for approval, are wound.
to the spirit, hard, indeed, to bear. 1t
takes all of our natures fOrtitude tC
meet, with an even mind, such disap-
pOintment; and can we be surprised
that the tender ehild's spirit grows dis.
couraged and bitter under them?

A SCIENTIFIC ANECDOTE.-Ap profess
ors wife, who occupied herself some
times with assisting her husband in
making casts of interesting objects Of
geology and natural history, also for her
own pleasure made sometimes flowers
and fruits of wax and other materials,
and, notwithstanding she had become
successful expert in this line, she found
that most always her efforts were crit
icised by her friends. Once at a tea
party she passed large apple around
and stated her confidence that she had
been quite successful in her imitation OF
natures product; but her friends were,
as usual, not Of her opinion; one criti-
clsed the shape, saying that it would be
more natural if not so glObular, another
criticised the cOlOrs, and said il was bet
ter than other limitations, but she had
not quite hit that natural indescribable
popularity which distinguishes the nat
ural apple from limitations; almost every
one had some fault to find. After the
apple had passed around and came in
her hands again, she ate it, without
saying anything. Her friends had been
critieising a real apple, but never after
ward criticised her limitations of fruit.

A gentleman in Iowa who recently
became the father of a fine boy, and who
naturally deemed it the handsomest
child ever born, thought he saw n chance
to gain reputation for liberality with
out the expenditure of any money. So
he offered premium of 500 for the
prettiest baby that should be exhibited
at an approaching fair, not doubling
that the judges must award the prize to
his own. There were nine entries, COM
prising seven white and two negroes,
and-One of the negro babies gained the
premium.

GALL FOR A WOMAN SUFFRAGE
CONTENTION.

At 4 meeting of the MultnOmah
County Woman Suffrage Association,
held on the 18th of January, 1873, it was
decided to call Il mass meeting of the
friends-of Woman Suffrage in the State
Of Oregon and Territory of Washington,
to be held in Portland on the 18th and
18th days and evenings of February,
1873, in the Orc Flno Hall. The
object of this Convention is to or
ganize a State Society, that there
may be more united action and infiu-
enee in the work. Now is the time for
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
in the debate.
The California State Suffrage Society
is invited to cooperate.
Delegates, or those willing TO ofiiciate
as such, are requested to forward their
signatures at once to the NEW NORTH
WEST for attachment to this call.
