A NIGHT OF TERROR ON LAKE ERIE
The details of the fortunate escape from
drowning of FIVE men o: Cleveland who
passed night and day adrift 10 boat
on Lake Erie during gale have come to
light with the return to Cleveland of the
party from Buffalo, whittier they we're
carried after having been rescued. The
men In boat left together for Rocky
River on Sunday morning last. Crozad
had chartered the boat, an open yacht
twenty feet long, and the others went to
sail her, or for their own amusement
After Crozard had finished his business,
the party set out on their return to Cleve-
land. The breeze freshened, and the
yacht was running along very well, when
an accident happened to the rudder
Two hours time was consumed in the ef-
fort to repair the damage, and in the
meantime the yacht had drifted helplessly
out to sea. She was now distant eight
miles from shore, and the wind was blow.
ing away from the land, while the gather.
ing Of thick, black clouds betokened a
coming storm. In spite of all effort the
boat could not be made to near the land,
and at every tack made she was further
away. One Of the Benjamins took
charge of the helm, as he was tho only
man Of the party who knew aught of the
management of boat. The night came
on, and the wind, now increased 20 gale,
drove the yacht, drifting under bare poles,
the sails having been clewed down, far
out at sea. The sky was of inky black.

around the boat, threatening each moment
to submerge her, and the scene was ren.

lightning aud the incessant crash of thun.
der. For hours, with not light to guide
them, and half expectapt ofa grave 10 the
angry waters Of the lake, the crew of the
yacht waited for break of day. They
were exhausted ,as none of them had eaten
anything since breakfast the previous
morning. When daylight made things
visible they could see fifteen sails in the
distance. But none of them noticed their
signals of distress, and they continued to
drift until towards sundown. After
nearly thirty-six hours of fearful physical
fatigue and mental torture, they were res.
cued oy the schooner A. Bradley, bound
for Buffalo, and were carried to that por !.
When picked up, only the jib sail and
single oar remained to the castaways
They were at the time forty miles below
Cleveland, and in sight of the shore o.

A ROMANCE OF CANADA. ID ust thirty
years ago this summer a little child, three
years old, was playing on the stoop of its
fathers house in Quebec. The house was
10 Richardson street, and in what are
known as St. Roch suburbs. For some
reason the child's nurse was out of the
way for time, and no one kept watch
on its movements. When the family
came to look for the little one-a great
favoritc with all-it was gone. Inquiries
we're instantly made ia every direction,
bnt in vain. Weeks, months, and years
rolled away, aud the child was unheared
Of AT last the family mourned their
treasure as dead. One morning last
May gentleman went from Quebec to
Montreal, and being in the latter city step.
ped into shop to buy hat, This gentle.
man was friend ofthe family who had lost
the child, and whose name was Richard
He observed, on entering the shop, that
the keepers Dame was Richmond. This
trifling and partial coincidence would
have made no liz preston had he not
directly utter noticed a surprising resem.
biance between Richmond, the halter, aud
the Richard family of Quebec. Going
home to his lodgings, he wrote the adven-
ture to his mother, who lives in that
town, and. after posting the letter, felt
strongly to return and cross-question
Richmond touching his origin. This
was done. and to some surprise, for
Richmond declared that he had been
reared from infancy by an Indian woman,
whom he had been taught to regard as
mother. She had always been kind to
him. but never until lying on her death
bed, confessed the fact that she had stc.
en- him from his parents door when an
infant, had brought him into the forest
among her own red brethren, and raised
him for her own. His family name she
said she had forgotten, but gave that of
Richmond" as something like it. After
the squaw's death the young man, went to
Quebec and tried to find mis- people.
But the change of name. his own ignor-
ance and simplicity, and probable absence,
at the time, of his parents prevented his
success Afterward he made his way to
Montreal, and got into the trade he was
following when discovered. The story
was quickly conveyed to the Richard
family, and the mother came to Montreal,
where by certain birth marks, known to
herself, she was able to corroborate the
identity of her long.lost child. The
process, being the opposite of that employ
ed with an equally mysterious halter

satisfactory by the Canadian press, which
is consequently 10 the enjoyment Of q
sensation Of strictly home manufacture,
combined with the rare merit Of strict We.

EXPLANATORY.

4 letter just received from Mrs. Z. d.
Gillespie, President of the Woman's
Centennial Committee, of which we are
member for Oregon, informs us that Of
Tense was given to the Committee by
editorial comments in this Journal con-
cerning communication from San
Francisco relating to the Centennial,
and the fact that women are themselves
in the very same political condition to-
day Of which men 50 justly complained
a hundred years ago. We were at first
surprised and quite indignant over the
letter, as we had no intention Of any dis
courtesy toward the ladies or their ap-
peal, which has been accepted and
adopted by US, and for which we are
working with the aim that Oregon shall
not fall behind the older States i'm the
ladies' department OF the great ExpOsi-
ton; but, upon looking over the edito-
rial in question, in connection with the
communication of which 1t speaks, we
find that the Committee have reason to
feel somewhat offended. The 'impu-
dence" which we declared" was "nOt
over-rated' was intended TO apply to the
men Of the Nation who are ready to re-
eeiVe woman's money to jubilate upon
over their own freedom, while denying
TO her the rights which they appreciate
so deeply Tor themselves. But the edi-
toriai was written while we were absent
from home and the illusions to the let
ter were given from memory. banca D,o
were inadvertently led into saving that
which We did not mean.
We thank the President OF the Com
mittee for calling our attention 10 rba
matter, which otherwise would have
wholly escaped Us.

CENTENNIAL MEETING.

A Mass Meeting of the New York
Woman Suffrage Society was held on
the 10th inst. Mt the Union League
Theater on the Centennial OF the "Boston
Tea Party" to protest against the tyr
amy of taxation "without representa-
ton"
The call for the meeting was accom-
panied by the following spirited address:
zone hundred years ago our ances-
ters precipitated rebellion by refus-
ing to pay tax on tea, imposed
against their will. At the end OF
a century 2O,OOO,OOO of their daugh-
ters are suffering precisely the same
wrong taxation without representation;
and it behooves us as their descendants
TO demand that the freedom for which
our forefathers struggled be given to us
also! And to demand of right that the
coming Centennial of American Inde-
pendence' shall find us enfranchised, or
freed from taxation and responsibility
TO Government which denies us per-
sonality and citizenship.

"President.

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.


a friend writes US from Washington
City giving us the assurance that Sena7
tor Mitchell holds himself in readiness,
whenever the time shall GENE that lie
can strike with power for the enfran-
ehisement Of women, to advance to the
front of the fight. Had it not been for
the un-Christian like rancor with which
he has been assailed during the past
year, which has made it necessary, for
the sake of his future success, that he
should move cautiously in the matter,
we should have sent up Suffrage pc
tition with many thousand signatures
for him to present to the Senate this
winter. But as It is, we deem it best
TO wait until he shall have had oppor-
tunity to prove TO the Nation that we
have not been deceived in him. 1t is
needless here to reiterate the assertion
we have so often made that we would
not cOndone the sinful deeds of anybody.
The aim of philanthropy and justice is
to get the most possible good from every
available source. We have no doubt
but that Mr.. Mitchell, as well as thous-
ands Of other men, whom political and
legal and pecuniary license have given
opportunity, did, in his early days,
wrong both woman and himself But
that he has suffered full expiation viii
be proved when he makes the atone
ment TO all women which he stands
ready and willing to make when he
shall have the power.
We have no hope for our cause in
Congress from Mr.. Nesmith, the repre-
sentative of the "God and morality"
faction of the Republican party who
strain at gnats and swallow camels.
Still we shall not fail to use his influ-
ence for Woman Suffrage If we can g 1t
it, or duly thank him if he gives it.
Women do not need mems domestic
lives in mems Congress or State Legis-
latures for the restoration Of their liber-
ties, but they do need their votes. For
this purpose We have struggled in the
past and shall in the future, to the ex-
tent of our humble influence and abil-
ity, to elect such men 10 office as will
vote for the adoption of the great prin-
eiple OF equality before the law.
While il is pleasant TO have every
body pleased with you, and lauding what
you do and say, it is much more salts
factory to your own conscience to have
the knowledge that you are working to
win, than it can be to be spraised for doing
that which simply suits the self-right-
eousness of those who make loud profess
sions Of personal perfection, which,
however deeply they may satisfy their
own approbativeness, can result in no
possible good to your cause.
