ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

Mrs. i. a. c., Nehslem: Your kind
letter is received. Glad TO bear from
you. Have written you dozen imagi-
nary letters lately, but haven't had
time to place them-o on paper yet.
Mrs. r., Salem: Your note is very un-
satisfactory. Please explain, orwe shall
be lead to believe that your illegal voter
has been acting the tyrant and that you
have been so unwise as to submit In
body to dictations against which your
soul rebels.
a. r. p, near Portland, writes; 81
send a sack of apples and sack OF po-
tatoes for your use as interest on my sub
scription TO the New NORTHWEST. In
view OF the editorials, selections and
original stories you use so lavishly in
the paper l can't help saying God speed
you, and l will speed the cash before
long. Mrs. Victor, Yours Truly and
Yourself constitute a stirling trio"
Thank you, friend, for kind words and
good deeds. The expenses OF the paper
press heavily upon US and we need the
aid of all willing hands and hearts to
keep il going.

position is that of servant without
wages, will submit to this idea. 1t will
be urged that there is 10 division of in
terests in the marriage firm, and that
this labor Of married women is all for
themselves. We simply deny it, in toto.
We now call to mind proof to sustain
the denial. We once knew woman
whose husband was straight-laeed,
very pious deacon in the church, who
agreed perfectly with his wife on one
idea, and that was that while she was
perfectly willing TO support the family
he was quite as willing that she should.
The old man, who from many years in
ertia had become a chronic invalid,
mustered strength enough to die one
day, and after his burial the widow, who
was also childIess, found to her dismay
that two-thirds OF her little property
that she had collected as a reward fol
her thirty years Of toll outside of house
hold cares, had been willed to the
church by her legal protector, bread
winner and head, and she was left, al
sixty-five, with precisely the sam'
amount Of property that she owned a
her marriage. This woman was ia
more fortunate, too, than many other
we might name whose lives are an un
ceasing round of tread-mill toll and un
remunerative drudgery. Now, If TN
