AN 0UTsPOKBN NEWSPAPER.

The Washington Standard, an indie
pendent Democratic newspaper, pub
lished at Olympia, is deservedly popular
among the Woman SufIIagists of Wash
ington Territory. II all Democrats
were like Mr.. Murphy, all stigma would
soon be removed from the Democratic
idea, and with party pledged to the
Acknowledgement of Woman, they
would march straight on to power. But
our friend is out of place in the Demo-
cratic kennel; even more out OF place
than we are in the Republican ranks.
He Is so far ahead Of his party that he
appears to them as star o. the seventh
magnitude, and they don't half appre-
ciste him. But it makes little differ
ence TO John. He knows he's right and
30 he goes ahead. If one hundred pro-
fessedly Democratic newspapers would
take the same stand for Woman's En-
iranehisement that the Washington
standard takes and maintains, they'd
irlghten the Republican papers into line
at once. But old fogyism and selfish
ness must be endured until they can he
exercised. Work away, brother Murphy
You have the proud satisfaction Of being
consistent. Success to you.

A member of the voting SEX whose
occupation as a pedagogue, judging from
his own account thereof, is not alto

turbances, wrote, under date OF June
4th, 1869, the following letter, which we
print verbatim ct literGtinl, the original
COPY being now in our possession. The
reader will pardon us for omittlng

Mrs. NJ. A. Barnes, of Olympia, has
invented a washing machine which is
about the completest arrangement i'm
that line that we have seen. It is made
of zinc and is combined washer and
boiler, with wringer attached. A pat
ent has been applied for, and we expect
soon to have a complete description of
the invention. Mrs. Barnes is bank
er's wife, and finds time, in the enjoy
ment of her own and her husbands
hard-earned wealth, to study out inven-
tions wherewith to tighten the labors of
other women, who not only are not pc
cnniary successful, as they have been,
but who do not have time or genius for
themselves with labor-saving
machines. We think that Professor
Fowler, if he visited at her elegant home,
found ample testimony against his ar
gument that women are not inventors.
Her house and grounds abound with
evidences of her practical genius. We
are proud TO know tlat she has not only
tne brains to do these things, but the
necessary funds with which TO experl-
ment upon her ideas.

CALL FOR INVESTIGATION.

PORTLAND, August 10, 1873.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
To-day accidentally picked up your
paper Of the Sth ult., and read in its col
umns that "a member Of the Emmet
Guards on the day of the fire compelled
barefooted Chinaman to run through
a burning street at the point Of the
sabre" 1t was news to me, and if it is
true (which doubt much the witnesses
of the act are to very great extent ac-
completes if they allow the committer
Of the deed to go free without paying
the penalty of the law for unwarranta-
bic and outrageous cruelty to a human
being-even il said person is a China
man.
Desiring that the reputation of the
Emmets may not be sullied, even by
any prejudiced, unfounded and un-
proved report of Madam Rumor, l re-
main, yours truly, Jos. r. WILEY,
Captain Emmett Guards.
The gentleman who gave us the re-
port, and who dressed the Chinamen's
mutilated feet, is called upon to ex-
plain. ED.

A GOOD story is told of couple of far
mers who lived few miles apart. One
day one called upon the other happening
at dinner. The person called upon was
penurious old fellow. He was seated
at the table enjoying his meal. The visi-
tor drew near to the stove, looking wish
fully at the table, expecting the old far
mer to ask him to dine. The farmer
kept on eating.
What's the news up your way, neigh
Dor? (still eating) No news. eh /?
No, believe not presently an

HEALTH OF WOMEN.

Farmers wives are not as healthy and
RED checked as city people suppose them
to be.
In journey of a hundred miles, We
may see few rosy, bright eyed. happy
women but, as rule, from Maine to
California, care-worn faces, sunken eyes,
and compressed lips, tell pitiful tales of
disturbed rest, Of WEAKNESS and suffer-
ing We do not attribute this to the
tyranny of husbands. We have yet to
see the man who does not pity his sick
wife.
1t cannot always be attributed to the
tyranny Of fashion thousa nds of these
suffering women do not read fashion
books We do not propose to point out
all the causes that operate SO destructive
ly, but will ask attention to a few not
generally attended to by patients and
physicians.
We speak of women who at marriage
gave promise of a vigorous, healthy life,
but as the years passed, their hopes fad
ed like the baseess fabric of dreams.
Asking questions, and closely observ-
ing their habits. we learn that very soon
after marriage the regular bath was

Here, We have, through neglect of the
bath, overworked kidneys, constipated
bowels. and torpid, or tired liver. The
vital forces ever working to preserve life,
and the machinery of life, tossed out
figs Of distress Yellow flags, over
tongue, skin, and eyes and finally took
away relis h for food. The wise women
would have "abstained from food and
exhausting labor, and would have taken
thorough rubbing, scrubbing, sweating

wash the blood would have assisted the |
vital forces to go on with the cleansing

What Makes a Man.

Not numerous years nor heightened life,
Nor pretty children and wife,
Nor pins and chains and pretty rings
Nor any such trumpery things;
Nor pipe, cigar. nor bottled wine,
Nor liberty with kings to dine,
Nor coat, nor boots, nor yet hat,
Nor dandy vest or trimmed crayat,
Nor all the worlds wealth laid in store,
Nor Mister, Rev'end, Sir, or Squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Nor ancestry traced back to viii,
Who went to Normandy TO Kill;
Nor Lasin, Greek nor Hebrew lore,
Nor thousand volumes rambled DER;
Nor Judges robes, nor Mayors mace.
Nor crowns that deck the royal race:
These all united never can
Avail to make a single man
A truthful soul, a loving mind,
Fsll of affection for his kind,
A helper of the human race,
A soul of beauty and Of grace;
A spirit firm erect and free,
That never basely bends the knee,
That will NOT bear feathers weight,
OF slavery's chain, for all or great;
That truly speaks of God within,
And never makes league with sin;
That snaps the fetters despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God and him alone:
That trembles at no tyrant's nod
A man that fears no one hut God,
THAT is the soul that makes the MAN.

Two Irishmen engaged in peddling
packages in linen, bought an old mule to
aid in carrying the bundles. Each would
ride awhile or ride and tie" as the say
ing is. One day the Irishman who was
on foot, got close to the heels of his
n1uieship, when he received kick on one
of his shins. To be revenged, he picked
up stone, and hurled it at the mule,
but by accident struck his companion on
the back of the head Seeing what he
had done he stopped and began to groan
and rub his shin. The one on the mule
turned and asked
''What's the matter %

ply.

that same to me on the back of the head .
