"A VERY PRESENT HELP. -

Can 1t be that the Almighty is COM
ing to our help In the temperance move
ment? Truly, it would seem so. The
answer of men to our petitions for suf-
frage have always been that the polls
were no places for women, because drunk
and disorderly men abounded there
that politics was q "filthy pool" ETC.,
etc. Suppose we put an end to drunken
ness and disorder? Suppose the "filthy
Pool' is cleansed of alcohol? Where
would be the impropriety of Woman
suffrage then2 We do not believe men
are willing to say Of themselves in their
senses, that they are too brutal for
women to associate with in general as
semolages- On the contrary, the fact
tnat women are to be there will dra
the best class Of men into politics
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1874-04-03

The final settlement Of the liquor traf-
fic question is TO be at the ballot box. II
the men, after experimenting for a gen.
Grafton and a half to find out how TO
deal with it, have had to throw up the
sponge and let the women take the case
in hand, why do they not put all the
weapons into the hands of those who
are to do the fighting? In other words,
why not give woman the ballot, 80 she
can make secure by legal enactment the
victory she Is expected TO gain by moral
and religious influence IL any logical
reason can be assured why this should
not be done, clear and definite state
ment of it would be in order at this time.

A Few Home Questions.

a Farmers Wife, puts the following
home questions to the readers of the
american A9ricult,u'iSt Attention to
these little matters would save many
steps by weary feet, and the feeling
that the men and boys of the household
are Indifferent and careless in making
work, which is sometimes harder to bear
than unnecessary work itself:
''DO you, after having kindled the
fire, sweep away the shavings and ashes
neatly, or leave them on or around the
stove? When you bring in a pail of
water, are you careful not to spill it, or
must some one use the mop after you
every time ? When you linen and boys)
leave the barn-yard, do you scrape the
dirt from your boots, or bring it to the
clean door steps, or, what is worse, into
the house, and scrape it on the nicely
polished cooking stove, that has cost an
hours hard scrubbing to make bright
Do you ever spit on the stove, floors, or
carpets? Do you leave hats and over
coats in the hall, or do you wear them
in and lay them on the table with books,
papers, etc, scattering hay seed and
dust over the cloth and its contents
making il necessary to remove and re-
place them much Oftener than would be
required, if the rules of order were oO-
served ? Do you put your own clothes
in their places, or leave them for some
female member of the family to taKe
care of?
"I could ask many more questions Oh
I similar import about dOOT-yards, gates,
| garden walls, fences, tOOl-houses, etc,
/ but l will not intrude. | insist tnat
| farmers homes ought to, and might be,
as neat and beautiful rs any others, II
ali wouId do their work in the best
manner. or at the earliest opportunity,
nj not leave for another what they
onybt TO do themselves. | know that
! Iong-InduIged habits are hard to over
come. but may l not hope that young
men will heed advice? You would not
like TO have a slatternly wife; but if
you are slovenly in your habits, you
could not be happy with neat one, for
she would be dissatisfied and unhappy,
and unless she were uncommOnly
heroic, you would be likely to hear Of it.
Perhaps you think these things of very
small moment, but / know OF but few
things that grieve and fret woman
more when she is weary and dispirited,
than to have all her efforts at order and
neatness unappreciated; and l know,
too, more offend from want of thought
than from want of feeling So let me
say to farmers boys, and girls too, If
you wish to have pleasant, happy
homes, be not only virtuous, but or
derry, industrious and neat"

Murder I'm Alabama.

We have just learned from what seems
to be a reliable source that s. Parshall,
the hotel keeper at CORTLAND, Alabama,
was shot through the head yesterday as
the train was passing, by William Rich
ardson, colored, who is brakeman on
the railroad and who was on the train
when Parshall killed Conductor Oates
several years ago, and was witness in
the case. 1t is said Parshall charged
Richardson yesterday with swearing
falsely, whereupon Richardson shot him
as above stated and made his escape.

The IrrepressIbIe PInehbeck Suine
for His Right 20 Glass of Lager.

I0E MS nlH ~ ~ OA1nH VI LOB CAs
From the New Orleans Tines
1t will be remembered by our readers
that P. B. S. Pinchback, Esq, while in
company with some gentlemen-one OF
whom we believe was ex Governor War
moth-was refused drink at the lager
beer saloon Of Hugo Redwitz. The
incident created much remark at the
time, many wondering at the temerity of
the bold Redwitz in refusing our august
Senator the coveted draught wherewith
to slake his thirst. Others thought that
the poor man was oysrpowered with the
unusual honor accorded him by the IN
looked fer presence Of the illustrious
Senator; that in consequence Of this he
forgot the lager for so long time that
Mr.. Pinchbeck naturally concluded that
there was a lack of that true respect aud
prompt acquiesenee due from the white
man to the colered gentleman.
These are all hearsays for which we
cannot vouch; bat this we can say, that
P. B. S. Pinchbeck has entered suit for
the sum Of $4,000 damages accrued from
the loss Of that glass OF lager.
