following style:

The Madison State Journal. 10th,
learns that at the sooiable Of the Good
Templars at Sun Prairie, Wednesday,
evening, a kerosene accident came near
destroying the Congregational Church
and perhaps many lives. The chande-
lier of the church, containing six or
eight lamps had just been lighted; the
company, who were enjoying them
selves in the open air at the refresh
ment tables, were just about to enter
the church when the chandelier became
detached and fell to the floor, some of
the lamps exploding and setting fire
to the wood work. BY the exertions Of
a few men the fire was subdued, and
but little damage done,

of the Indians who were removed to
Nebraska last fall and spring. have put
in an appearance here, and, as custom
ary with them at this season of the
year in times past, have engaged at
picking whortleberries. They ex-
press the determination of never going
back to the reservation again under
any circumstances, preferring to stay
in this vicinity; will seek a home in
the Lake Superior region, or northern
part of this state. In reply to the
thousand and one questions asked
them, they simply say: Nebraska no

FROM EUGENE CITY.

Mrs. 4. J. D,niiUdy:-I see you are
still fighting corruption i'm high and low
places-no such word as fail in your cat
egory. The change in political affairs
is certainly an augury for good. The
best evidenceofa a political millennium is
the spirit of progression which is going
on In the cause Of Human Rights; and
il has tendency to animate the masses
and rouse them to action by pointing
the way to the ballot-bOx of Universal
Liberty.
There are some who will not see and
hear, for ''if they bear not Moses and
the Prophets, neither will they be per-
suaded though one rise from the dead"
Such "dull clods of humanity" are a
nuisance TO the stage Of civilization in
which they live, and will soon be recog-
nized as political cyphers in the sum of
a free government. The eess-pool of po-
litical infamy is the proper residence for
all the foes of Human Rights. Man,
when he does fall, falls lower than the
beasts Of the field; and some queer ami
mails, bearing the names Of men, think
that they are real heroes when they re-
sort to abuse and tyranny of the oppo-
site sex.
While looking over the ''papers" the
other day, my attention was directed to
a number of articles, all Of which made
a speciality Of abusing the philosophy OF
the science Of good government. 1 am
ashamed to confess that the majority OF
said articles were written and published
in the State of Oregon.
The freedom of the women of the
United States will be won in spite of the
malignity, the obscenity, and the low,
base serawlings of the frigid tribe, who
indict poison aud snarl at everything
noble. They are mGroOned by Destiny.
The lamp of knowledge will not burn
any brighter by the feeble rays emitted
from their puny pasqui nades.
The NEW NORTHWEST is already 9
power in the cause of Right. / like its
teachings better every day. It know:
no party, and consequently is not afraid
to battle for the cause of justice. &C
ahead-neyer despair-the time is com
ing when the pride of the women
hater's power will be humbIed in the
dust, and those who seoff at our right
will be glad to beg a clerk-ship in al
oyster saloon. JOHN a. WONACK.
