C8- Some people of late seem to have
reckless disregard for human life. We
have heard recently of numerous instan-

sometimes fatal effects have followed, by

walk out sometimes during the night
for fresh air and exercise, and it is not
unlrequent that they thoughtleSsly
stumble over the string attached to the
triggers of these guns so reckleSsly set
by the cruel owners of these cribs, &c,
and the consequence is poor innocent
man either goes to his grave, or goes
limping through life forever. Our
Southern people should be more careful
of human life. Ii they are not able to
keep enough corn, and bacon, and coal
and wood, for themselves and their
neighbors, they ought 70 say so like

the corn and bacon and such things, for
they wound in the leg most always.

LETTER FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

To the President and members OF the
o. S. ". S. A. in Conrcntion assembled
Dear FTiends:-It is impossible for me
to be with you at your annual meeting,
and no oneean regret it more than 1 do.
Lack of finance alone prevents my being
present. May Gods blessing rest upon
you all and inspire you to plead elo-
quently for woman's political elevation.
Let the cry, Suffrage for women" be
the watch.word in your deliberations and
allow no side issues to creep in to ham,
per and oppress you. Let our Legisla-
tors see that women are unitedly strong
and earnest on the main question, and
our cause is soon won.
Thedecision with regard to the 18th and
18th Amendments, and the different re-
buffs with regard to women's voting, all
show that the road to suffrage is not
downy path to tread, but needs strong
earnest work to battle for the right.
The members of our California State
Society have worked together har moni-
ously for the past year plished
more than duringany previous year. OuI
petitions to the Senate and Legislature
have been referred to most excellent
Committee, and to Mr.. Edgerton in the
Senate and Mr.. Aldrich in the House we
tender our heartfelt thanks for efforts in
our behalf.
Our esteemed friend Hon. A. A Sar.
gent ever on the alert to do us good, i:
pressing our claims at the National
Capitol.
The cause goes slowly but bravely on.
Adherence to the great principles, and
purity of life among our leaders, are very
essential. And now although personal
stranger to you, to the Woman Suffrag-
lists of Oregon 1 extend the warm right
hand of fellowship, heartfelt sympathy,
and sisterly affection.
Hoping you will be fortunate enough
in your selection of delegates to our
Convention to be holden next March to
have them all attend,
| remain yours truly,
Mrs. c. NJ. PALMER,
President California w. S. Society.

PLAIN WORDS WITH OUR PATRONS.

Friends of the NEW NORTHWEST,
word in your ears. We, as journalist
lecturer and general servant OF the
Woman Suffrage Movement in the
syrs,t Northwest, have stood at our post
nntfI the enterprise has grown too
large for us to manage longer without
editorial aid. The paper cannot be sus-
tanned without keeping some person
continually in the lecture field.
The Executive Committee of the State
Association, whose full report will appear
next week, have appointed us as lee
turing and organizing agent for the
State.
We must employ an associate editor
that we may have opportunity to do this
work lUeI. This editor must be paid.
She is a widow and is dependent
wholly upon her salary for livelihood
for herself and children. If you want
the New NORTHWEST sustained-and
without an organ you are powerless-
you must exert yourselves to increase
its patronage, and sustain the associate
editor, who will soften all the asperities
which some of you complain of in us,
and thereby please you far better than
we alone can do.
The Vice Presidents Of the State Asso-
citation are requested to urge this matter
upon their respective county organiza-
lions.
We shall continue in the field, as
heretofore, with an eye single 70 the
great work before US, and can take care
OF OwselE We want your aid for your
own and our business-the publication
of the NEW NORTHWEST for the enfran-
ehlsement of woman and the purifica-
tion of the filthy pool Of politics-and
are must hare Il!
What say you, friends Every one of
you can get us five new subscribers If
you will. Shall we depend upon you,
or will you drive us to relinquish this
work and engage again in our former
occupation, which was lucrative and is
again ready to be source Of profit in
stead of loss
We await your further action and ex-
pect 10 hear from every friend OF the
movement without delay.

AS the proceedings Of the Woman
Suffrage Convention are faithfully rep
resented in the Secretary's report, and, as
we prefer to allow the different essay

we prefer TO stand aside this week and
allow she NEW NORTHWEST to be ed
tied by our friends.

Unexpected Wisdom

How shall a woman fasten hel
stockings so as not to interfere with
the circulation Of the blood, or spoi
tho shape of the le-lct us see-ot
honi qui NAL q pense. After tho most
careful research, as far as our limited
faculties would allow. we arise from
our hamblo explorations, and humbly
tender tho following suggestions:
Wear thcm short, aad let the tops
bubble over the shoe in tho form o1
lace, . Ia beer mug.
If you have 'em long, put mucilage
inside and stick 'em to you.
Have them long enough to tic
about the waist, and use the top for u
panier.
Edge the top with steel and fasten
q load-stone 10 your corset.
Fasten strap 10 each stocking, ex.
tend them GRACEFUL y up each side of
the body and attach, with blue rib
bons, to the earrings.
Fasten them to q nail and 60 bare
footed.
Attach a small balloon to cach
stocking.
Make them out of material that
will draw up.
If you are thirty.fve and unmar-
ried, make a hole near the top of
each stocking and button it to your
knee cap.
These are all the methods that
suggest themselves to US at present,
and of the number some ono or moro
may be deemed worthy of adoption.
We have taken q sudden and lively
interest in this matter, and shall not
rest until the needed reform is brought
about. Woman's limbs shall not be
hampcred. and knotted, and deform-
cd, if we have enough inventive fac
uIty to bring about now aud health
full ways Of wearing tho stockings,
and we think we have. We shall
continue our Investigations into this
subject. What tho women Of this
country most reed is not women suf:
fragc, but sympathy; not rights, but
nationality; not q place in legislative
halls, but q place to fastcn their stock

WHAT SHALL WE Do.-Thcn what
must planters, farmers, and white
men generally do? We answer, 60 to
work. What, in tho field? Yes, in
the field, But tho white race can't
labor in our hot climate. Bah-I
admit t he negro can beat the white
man working, Us well as slceying, in
u midday juno sun, but am not
disposed to admit that the negro will
do the most work in any term of say
thirty days. Tho intelligent white
man will be systematic, he will begin
labor at sunrise, with. a well-cooked
and nutritious breakfast in the sto-
mach he can stop ut ten o'clock,
bath, take q KNAPP, eat dinner cor
responding in nutritivcness to the
breakfast, and read books or news
papers till four, then he can labour
till seven, having laboured say at
least six, perhaps seven hours in the
field. Mind, will, and muscle COM
biDed, with its usual attendants of
forecast and constancy, will work
ont in FIVE years, working only six
hours per day, incomparably grander
results than can be Cotton from the
negro for loue or money, though he
may pretend to, or actually does fit
fully labor from ten to twelve hours
per day. The negro has almost an
instructive conviction possessing him
that the white man can beat at any
thing be goes at, and thinks it is the
whiteman's education; but the his
:ory Of his race does not give US any
