The South Pacific Times, published at Cal1ao,
Peru, under date Of June 20, reports that bull
fight took place the day previous Sunday, in
that city, in which Chinaman aud two women
took part. Previous to the appearance OF these
performers, however, two OF three bulls were
brought out and worried half an hour each. One
WAS slowly tortured to death, after beng stabbed
in twenty different Places but the other two,
after undergoing the same process, refused to
die, aud wero driven bleeding and wearied back
to the yard. The fourth wss celebrated bull.
and the Chlnaman took particular good care to
keep far enough from it to prevent damage to
either party. At last the chief attraction OF the
day appeared. 4 cholo woman on horseback took
her position in the centre Of the arena to ..re-
ceiye the bull, it ls termed. on his
being let loose. She did receive" him.
but in . way che had not expected.
The whole affair was oyor in a mn
ute- Directly the bull charged. her borse
turned tail, and the bull knocked both him aud
the equestlienne over. The horse stood still;
and the bull proceeded to gorge the unfortunate
woman. and tho 'tgailant :" bull-fghte1s smused
themselves by keeping respectful distance
from the animal. The bull Was prevented from
killing the woman by his attention belug drawn
Oh BY the appearance Of volunteer with q
poncao. VINO was also knocked down for b;s
pains At this stage OF the proceedings thern
vas lnt*nse excitement, and the bull WAS finally
dispatched.

The doctors-wretchcd medical men at best
are At q loss how to deal with the trouble, and
the priests have their hands full. Tlalenango,
Boianos, CaIsegena, and even Sanceda Hac

where or even when the disease il to stop. I
am not An expert IN describing sickness, but the
trouble seems to me to be an unusual discharge
Of nerve force into the b1ain. The symptoms
are sudden nausea, followed almost Immediately
by severe and sharp pain along the spine, pro-
ceeding from its lower extremity to the head.
and described as feeling is though blunt knife

pain reaches the back OF the heaa-a sharp and
poignant distress there which makes the patient
delrious, ,althoughit it never produces u1lconscous-
nese or loss OF tue right uses of the senses. The
eyes are bloodshot and wild, with pupils greatly
contracted. The seusitiyeness to light is in-
tense, 80 that even in paroxysms Of e1cruciating
agony the patient Will rise and seek dark
place. This state lasts commonly not more
than thirty to forty minutes, during which the
Patient feels AZ though his head was splitting;
aud when this condition has lasted for about half
an hour the craulum actually bursts open at the
sutures, as il sometimes the case with infants
whose heads split thus after death from water

1t is said that in some instances the disruption
is extremely sudden, and accompanied with
noise still louder. THIS occurs. too, at mo-
ment when the sufferer is in full consciousness
and it is terrible to witness. The disease broke
out at the siiver-mining region at Dolanos
about two weeks ago. and itB cause is unknown.
About 300 persons, generally adults, have al

HISTORY OF THE CRUSADE.

We commend TO those who have dis
forted ideas of the cause, rise and prog
ress of the great crusade, T. :. Arthur's
new book. "Woman TO the Rescue"
We acknowledge the receipt OF copy
of the work from the canvasser IN this
citv. Mrs. Rosa Martin, who is prepared
to take orders for the same from any
one who may wish to purchase and
read the history of this most remarka-
HE movement. 1t truthfully represents
the leaders and prime movers in the
crusade to have been women whose
lives had for years been bereft of all
that makes life even tolerable, by the
dire curse of intemperance - women
who. while suffering all imaginable
horrors from the traffic in liquor, yet
found themselves legally powerless to
oppose t., and who, despairing of long
promised human aid, poured with fer
yor born of desperation their supplica-
tions into the ears Of the Most High.
Purchase and read this book before
you impugn the motives OF those VINO
desperately, though vainly, hoped to
disarm the cohorts of intemperanee by
the voice of prayer.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1874-08-07
WORK FOR TODAY.

1t must be apparent to the friends Of
the Woman Suffrage cause, that If we
expect to receive material aid from the
coming session of the Legislature,
we must work, and work nor. The
Woman Suffrage petitions which were
prepared and sent to various portions oI
the State by direction of the State AssO-
citation last spring, should now be vigor-
ousIy circulated and an array of sigma
lures obtained that will compel the re-
spectful and careful consideration OF the
Legislature. The work is ready; we
only want workers to push ii through to
successful completion. Public senti-
ment has rapidly changed upon this
topic in the last few years; many per-
sons, both men and women, who, a
short time since, could not treat the
subject with respectful tolerance, now
are numbered among its Jealous advo-
Gates. It is noticeable that the more
enlightened and intelligent the commu-
nifty, the more advocates Of equal rights
are TO be found within its limits. In
deed, the truth and justice Of our claims
for woman need only to be properly
presented and carefully disgested by
persons Of average intelligence, and they
at once yield the point.
It is true, as our Salem correspondent
observed a few weeks since, that "there
are too many benighted neighborhoods,
where they have just heard that some
women have dared 10 ask for the bal
lot,n and in these places We should have
earnest workers, able, willing, and
ready to dispense this great gospel OF
equal rights. When Ignorance and
prejudice go hand In hand, as they usu-
ally DO, they can scarcely be recognized
as twain; they are one in spirit at least,
and to overcome the first speedily dis
arms the second. Come, friends, to the
help OF the cause for the next few weeks;
work, each in your own way, in youI
own neighborhood-only tcorkj and, as
means for helping to carry forward
this great cause, give yoar aid in help
ing to place the NEW NORTHWEST in al
many families as possible.

The estimated amount of beer drank
in New York city is two barrels every
minute, day and night, and the cost is

A couple recently married at Taunton
had been courting thirty years, having
been affianced before the birth of the
clergyman who united them.
Philadelphia contributed twenty-three
thousand dollars to the Louisiana suf-
ferers from the overflow, and five thous-
and dollars to submerged Mississippi.
1t costs the American people five mil
lions a year to keep their teeth in order;
not overmueh, considering the hard
words and bad cooking that pass between
them.
Westminster Abbey is a great rendez-
vOus on Sunday afternoon for Americans
in London. During service they employ
their time by copying inscriptions from
gravestones.
Galveston, Texas, is now but three
days and nine hours by rail from Phila-
delphia. Thus, one by one, we draw to
ourselves the chief cities of the country.
This is the real Union.
Mrs. c. F. Corbin, of Evanstown, Ill,
recently read paper on Enlightened
Motherhood" OF all the children born

The use Of tobacco seems to be falling
off in England. The declared value of

Countess of Caithness, devoted Eng
lish Spiritualist, who visited this coun-

nent gentlemen from the East took a
look at the remains of the great martyr.
The body is as natural apparently as
the day it was laid in the state-house,
with the exception that the upper lip is
somewhat swollen"
One of the women employed as a
counter in the national bank redemp-
ton division of the Treasury Depart
ment has discovered among the notes
sent for redemption one of the counter
felt $500 bills originally discovered at
the Treasury Department about year
ago. 1t was so perfect that several of
the most expert clerks in the Treasury
Office thought it genuine, but upon ref
erence to the engraving and printing
division it was, after examination, pro-
nOunced a counterfeit. The note will be
brpnded and returned to the national
bank from which it was received.

HUMBLE PIE"

Our friend and practical co-worker,
Mrs. ]. 4. Johns, of Salem, thus dis
courses upon her experience in soliciting
signatures to the Woman Suffrage petit
tiOn which it is Intended to present to
the Legislature at the coming session
of the same:
81 circulated at the Grove Meeting
one of those petitions that we are to pre-
sent to our lawmakers this fall, but
owing to the limited time allowed for
intermission, had very little time to
work in this humble way for liberty;
and really must say, that of all the
humble pie that have ever attempted
to swallow, this contains the greatest
amount of unsavory ingredients. The
utter humiliation of being, by the acci-
dent of my sex, placed in a position
wherein l must supplieate as a favor,
from men, that which, equally with
themselves, is my God-given right, is, I
confess, a species of humble pie which
the vigorous digestion of my native indie
pendence instinetively rejects. For the
coarse and ungentlemanly comments
which the solicitation for voters sig
nature sometimes calls out, am COM
PEELED to console myself by a mental
reflection upon the words of the philo-
sophical Paddy upon receiving a certain
kick. One thing is certain-this class
of voters and would-be lords of creation,
though they may excite disgust and
contempt, can never succeed in intimi-
dating or turning from their course
those who are strong in the conscious
ness of the right and eternal justice of
their cause.
81 go to Roseburg tomorrow to re-
main perhaps month, and wish you to
forward to me at that place half-dozen
of the petitions, and promise to do my
best for the cause of our liberties in
Douglas county"
The petitions asked for we have not
on hand at present, but will forward
some as soon as possible. We only
wish that we had a thousand such
workers as our indefatigable friend,
each making as heroic efforts as size to
worry down the "humble pie" which
may after all furnish some necessary
elements of strength for the conflict.

MASCULINE WOMEN.

Ii las become very commOn-indecd,l
universal with a certain classic speak
Of women who refuse to remain nonen-
titles, as masculine women. Whether
this be correct distinction or 8 mis-
nomer, all must agree that it is the bet
ter elements of masculinity which these
women adopt. Are they street lOungers,
tobacco consumers, idlers? Do they
work for a living with great reluctance,
taking care 10 constantly impress upon
the minds of those dependent upon
them a wholesome sense Of their de-
pendence? Do they compel others TO do
their cooking, washing, mending, econ
omizing and other disagreeable jobs
which the average masculine always
shirks? Clearly, then, they do not ape
the little peculiarities Of the average
masculine.
More than this, whatever defOrmity
they have exhibited or may exhibit,
they are not in the slightest danger Of
this type of masculinity. If to be capa-
BILE, intelligent and Independent were to
be masculine, it would more nearly hit
the mark, but unfortunately for their
assumptions in the premises, these are
not altogether masculine attributes, nor
at all incompatible with femininity.
Men have for so long enjoyed a mo-
nopoly of these things that it is perhaps
not strange that they should consider
them as peculiarly belonging to their
sex. Their claims in this direction are
however no longer borne out by facts in
| the case, and so long as men cannot
charge upon women any of the at
tributes of masculinity, except those
that belong equally to the highest types
of men and women-intelligence and in
dependence, n correct estimate of their
OwD capabilities, and an energy and
ability TO do that which they best can
dove shall not feel very deeply ag-
grieved at the charge. And we know
full well that the men who speak de-
risively of those women who have dis
carded many OF the follies Of their sex,
and developed and put to legitimate use
the long dormant faculties of their
womanhood, are men who need never
be afraid that women, as n class, will SO
far depart from their natural instincts
as TO even wish TO ape their boasted
masculinity.

WOMEN IN MEDICINE.

An article written for the benefit of
the New York Infirmary for women
and children, 10y Rev. o. B. Frothing-
ham, in paper published in 1862, gives
these remarkable facts: at must not
be forgotten that a woman in the six
teenth century lectured ably on obstet-
rics to large classes Of both sexes; that
a woman discovered the cause of uterine
hemorrhages; that woman brought
into notice the now indispensable Peru
Wan bark, having first tested its virtue;
that a woman perfected n system of ar
tilieial nourishment for babes, which is
still in use in France; that q woman
first illustrated her lectures by a mani
kin of her own invention; that woman
made the first wax preparations for the
use of students in anatomy; that a
woman was the earliest performer of
the Caesarean operation; that woman
effected the introduction of inoculation
for smallpox; that woman brought to
perfection a tube for the restoration of
children born in a state OF asphyxia /;
that a woman prepared the first illus
trated medical botany, and that some
very important treatises on different
themes In medical science have been
written by women"
