LETTER FROM SALEM.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Presuming upon the consideration
with which you have treated my former
communications, venture again to ad-
dress you, and ask permission TO pro-
pound few questions through your col
umns, hoping to elicit response from
one of your many readers.
To which may we attribute more of
the ills OF life, the love of money, and
the needless display of finery, which
causes such sad waste of time and labor,
or the love of strong drink and its at
tendant evils?
Would not protesting Christians,
as well as others, better employ their
time and surplus means in ministering
to the wants of the sick and needy, than
in expending both, as now, upon the
thousand superfiuities of fashionable
adornment, all unmindful of the neces-
stiles of their fellow mortals on every
hand, whom, perhaps, word of kind
ness, timely given, would save from
crime, a trifle timely bestowed would
save from want? We know that very
many Of the children of vice and crime
are in the outset more sinned against
than SHINING, more the victims of mis-
fortune and untoward circumstances,
than criminals from choice, and these
should certainly receive pity, rather than
condemnation, and generous assistance,
instead of cold charity or total neglect.
Can any one be found who will
contend that drunkenness is not wrong?
Certainly not. Then why cannot this
evil be prohibited One would think
that men who claim TO be sufficiently
strong TO protect their wives, little ones,

ANEW DOSE OF AN OLD NOsTRUM.

Can any one be so blind as not to see
the unjust discrimination Of the much
vaunted ordinance, passed, it is said, at
the instance of the Ladies' Temperance
Alliance" forbidding and making it
criminal for 'disreputable females" to
engage in a business in which "disre-
putable males" are encouraged, pro-
teeted and sustained? 1t would seem
that it WAS not the sin these pious phi
lanthropists deplored, nor yet the eff
fects of the traffic which wrought them
such annoyance. But this holy petition
merely embodied the old idea, that men
may be allowed to do with impunity
what women suffer seorn, ignominy and
social ostracism for doing. 1t would
seem indeed time, that the enormity OF
the sin should be the same, regardless OF
the sex of the sinner. There can be no
question whatever regarding the right
Of any one to do wrong. No one has q
right to do that which brings sorrow OIL
shame to Others, but we here affirm,
that an ordinance that will for trifiine
consideration allow to any or all men
certain privileges because they are men,
and positively prohibit the same priv
ileges to all women, because they are
women, is libel upon justice, an out
rage upon common sense, and a disgrace
alike TO the petitioners who asked, and
fla hodv that rassed IL

country is bitter in its opposition.
There are too many benighted neighoor-
hoods where they have but just heard
that some women have dared to ask for
the ballot, and are rs indignant as one
OF my unele's neighbors used to be when
told that the world turned over every
day. The man actually lives on the
MoIalla, and 1 have seen him, who de-
clares that ''if the world turned over, the
creek would spill out" No wonder such
people are not ready for Woman Suf-
frage. They are still in the dark ages,
with their accompanying superstitions
and narrow views of moral rights and
responsibilities. 1 need not tell you,
Mrs. Editor, but I will say 1t for the
benefit of those who do not know it as
well as you do, that l have invariably
found the enemies of our cause to be
narrow-minded, or ignorant people, or
they are these very careful persons
who fear to make any changes for fear
that they will not be Improvements.
Yours truly, for the cause,
BELLE w. COOKE.

A SUBSCRIBER ON THE WAR-PATH

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Knowing that you sympathize with
persons in distress, l will take the lib
erty of relating to you some of the many
trials to which your persistent determi-
nation to publish the New NORTHWEST
subjects some Of the conservative post
masters Of our State, and especially the
one who presides over the consignments
of our venerable Uncle Samuel to the
villagers of Lookout" In the first
place, madam, you must know that it is
a grievous cross to this conservative
gentleman to give out weekly the fresh
copies of your paper to the eager hands
always ready to grasp them yes, and
those contrary persons who take them
also, must know it, for has not his glum
visage recorded the fact for weeks past :?
And yet you persist in publishing, and
they in subscribing for the paper, and
were it not for some little lodges which
he has learned, in order to be even with
you, surely the man had resigned his
Office, or gone crazy ere this.
Think, if you please, how very exas-
perating it must be for your subscribers
to rush to the post-office on New
NORTHWEST day and ask for their pa
pers before the postmaster can even get
time to scratch refused upon the
margin of one of them, preparatory to
remailing tito you, or not even to be al
lowed time to fill out the necessary OFF,
cial blank, notifying you that he will
no longer deliver the paper to certain
subscriber And more than this, a
subscriber will occasionally insist that
the paper must be there, and the dis
comfited victim of our arbitrary postal
laws is compelled to take it from the
shelf, where he had placed it to await
his own perusal, without as much as a
glance at the leader, or a look at the
story.
But, unfortunately, the gentleman is
likely to be detected in either of the
lodges mentioned above, by the indig-
nant subscriber interviewingy you by let
ter, and asking, in no gentle terms,
why my paper does not come ?"
The last dodge of the redoubtable p.
M. OF the village of Lookout" was a
refusal to deliver the paper, because it
came to the lady in the initials Of her
husband and he actually kept Mrs.
Snarles, etc, from receiving the paper
Iuil three months on that plea. So,
MIS- Editor, this letter is to certify that
II SAID Mrs. Charles, etc." misses anv
more numbers of her paper from like
cause, or any other, for which said most
master is responsible, that her next
communication will be dated at some
post town more generally known to your
readers than "Lobkout.~

A CHANGE OF EDITORS.

The Oregon Statesman of Sunday last
contains the valedictory of our ere while
brother of the quill, Capt. c. p. Gram
dali. This gentleman will be followed
in his retirement by the best wishes
and kindly regards Of a host of friendly
readers, and we join our voice in wish
ing for him speedy restoration to
health, and long life, attended by hap
piness and prosperity. His successor to
the editorial tripod of the Statesman,
Mr.. c. B. Mcdonald, is man not un-
known in the field Of Oregon journal
ism, he having been editor of the Union
iSt of war memory. The many readers
Of that staunch old journal will of course
remember the ability and energy with
which it was conducted, and welcome
him again to the field, in pleasant an
ticipation of future good things from his
pen.
To the retiring editor kindly good
night, to his successor a cordial good
morrow.

LUCENIA.

The editor Of the Forest Grove hide
pendent, in the role of correspondent to
his own columns, is not more successful
in giving truthful synopsis Of our lee
ture than when he failed so stupidity in
the same attempt as editorial reporter
on a former occasion. 1t were totally
unnecessary to waste three exclamation
points, two brackets, and two letters, in
the middle of his article, just TO show
his footprints. No one else in the viii
lage of Forest Grove wears so Luce a
shoe as that, or one that makes such
dim impressions; albeit he so delights
and revels in mud. Try again, brother;
you can't do worse-possibly you might
do better. The exercise seems to amuse
you, and you can't throw high enough
to reach as. Proceed.

MEETING IN THE EAST PORTLAND
PARK.

1t was announced in the morning
papers of Friday that Mrs. Addie L.
Ballou, the noted lecturer on Spiritual
ism, would address the public in East
Portland Park OH Sunday morning and
afternoon. Interesting lectures from
whatever source are always acceptable,
and especially so during the stagnation
and quiet of midsummer; so we, in
company with numerous friends, re-
paired on Sabbath morning to the place
designated, to enjoy the good things
which the talent and reputation of the
lecturer promised. The audience in the
morning was not large, but those pres
ent who heard the gifted lady for the
first time, listened with pleased surprise,
while all gave respectful attention and
manifested much interest, as she ex-
pressed herself in well chosen and elo-
quent words, that could not do otherwise
than appeal to the hearts of her hearers,
even though they coincided not in the
views expressed.
Three p. NJ. brought a greatly aug
meuted crowd to listen to 4 discourse
upon the 'tSigns of the Times" This
prolific subject was discussed in a man
ner as practical aud sensible as eloquent
and energetic, clearly proving that
whether the speaker read the "Signs Of
the Times" by the aid OF her native
good sense, her womanly intuition, or
the subtle and invisible agency Of
"spirits" that she read them logically.
The utmost good order prevailed during
the entire day, and all seemed TO enjoy
the occasion generally, and the lectures
particularly.
The speaker left on the morning fol-
lowing for Salem, where she will re-
main few days; thence TO Gervais TO
attend the Grove meeting, which begins
at that place on Friday of this week:
thence again to this city, where she
takes the steamer outward bound for
California. We understand that tbaro
will be an effort made to secure her sar-
vices for one or more lectures on her
return to this city, previous to her de-
parture from the State.

and mothers, would at once abolish this
dreadful curse. But the truth il, they
lack the moral courage necessary to
combat this evil, and so succumb to its
force and tolerate the vice, crime, and
want that it bears in its dreadful train.
Are not our Government officials, high
and low, greatly in need of that much
boasted strength, whereby to protect
their own natures? II they would but
hearken to the teachings of their moth
ers, they might soon legislate out of ex-
istence the very opportunity to become
intoxicated.
How long, o women, will you have to
see your sons go down to dishonored
graves, your daughters lead low, miser-
able lives, bereft Of all that makes life
worth having? I will tell you. Until
you arouse yourselves fromyour lethargy
and contend with your boastful sons for
your rightful share in the Government
You have trained them to walk in vir-
tuous paths, but perhaps they have
strayed into forbidden cutters, and i'm
agine themselves wise, their mothers
foolish; think that you, in your sober
senses, lack Judgment to deposit bal
lot, while they, to prove their superior
wisdom, vote nine times out of twelve
for dram-drinking candidate.
Does any one suppose that if women
were given their rightful share in the
political concerns of the nation, that
they would devote so much time to the
frivolities of dress, which masculines go
much deplore, or have the time or incli-
nation to devote to the nonsensical
small talk, for which they receive such
merciless ridlcule?
If some one will answer these few
questions, he or she will confer a favor
on Mrs. ]. a. JOINS.

CHIUAGO'S CALAMITY.

Chicago has scarcely recovered from
the great fire that three years ago laid
her most magnificent structures in
ashes, and turned thousands of her citi-
zens homeless upon the prairies, and
again we are called upon to chronicle for
her the sad ravages of the devouring
element. The fire broke out on the 18th,
and ragged increasingly until noon of the
18th, causing an estimated loss Of S.
100000. The exact limits OF the confia-
grafton are as follows: On Clark street,
where 1t originated, from near Twelfth
street for about block north on Fourth
Avenue; from near Taylor street to Har-
rison street; on Third Avenue from near
Peck Court to Harrison, on west side,
and one block farther on east side; OH
State street from No. 500, near Harmon
Court, to No. $40, near Congress street, on
west side, and to corner of Van Buren
on east side; on Wabash Avenue from
942, near Peck Court, to No. 267, near
corner of Van Buren, on the west side,
and to No. 294 on eS.st side. Michigan
Avenue is burned about one block, ly-
ing mostly between Van Buren and
Harrison streets. A second fire on Mil
waukie Avenue burned only a few
buildings before it was extinguIshed.
1t would almost seem that fate has de-
creed that the "Queen City" shall take
her share in the general eonhagratior
in which We are told all things sublu-
nary will terminate, in advance. We
hope, however, that she has added hel
last chapter TO the history of the great
fires of the nineteenth century.

questionable character if they would
have them close for want of patronage
consequently they have on foot move
ment for the establishment of reading

Why is it that the wages of the women
teachers in our public schools are to be
reduced for the ensuing year? Have
they not been equally prompt, faithful
and efficient, with their co-laborers OF
the opposite sex? Is it in accordance
with the wish of the taxpayers of the
district, and do they regard the male la
borer only as ''worthy of his hire? ?" An
explanation from the Board concerning
this extraordinary proceeding would be
in order at this time.

AUTopsY OF THE SlAAESE TWISs -FORAAL
REroRT TO THE COLLEGE OF PHYsICIAss.-
PHILADELPHIA, February 1S.-The formal re-
port to the Fellows of the College Of PhySi-
clans was made tonight in the ecture-room
of the College, before at least two hundred
members of the medical profession, inclu-
ding many of the most prominent physi-
cians in this and other cities of the State.
The bodies of the twins were exposed
upon table at the upper end Of the hall in
front Of the audience. The plaster casts,
which were taken from time to time during
the progress of the autopsy, were at hand,
and together with number Of diagrams,
Photographic views, and drawings, were
used oy the demonstration, DIR. W. II. Pan
coast, TO illustrate the report. The bodies
were also Very frequently used by Dr.. Pan
coast for the purpose Of explaining passages
OF the report.
The iutcnsest interest on the part Of the
meeting was displayed during the remarks
Of the demonstration explanatory Of certain
physiological peculiaritics In the respective
bodies. Prominent among these pecuiari-
ties WIS what DR.. PancOast called the fatty
cord, which extended from the mucous
membrane of the stomach, to which it ad-
hered, in the direction Of but not quite into
the bond Of union. There were peculiari-
ties of the ubiical and liver in each body,
together with many other abnormal erowths
rarely found in the human anatomy. .-s
Although the more important part OF the
autopsy, has been made the. examination has
not yet been entirely completed. The peri
cardium, the membrane surrounding the
heart, will be dissected tomorrow, and no
doubt thorough examination will be made
Of all that relates to this organ.
