HONOR US WITH TRUTH. y

Every advocate of equal rights knows
full well that truth and fairness are un-
known to many of their opponents in
the straits to which they are reduced, to
make the worse appear the better rea-
son. If an extract is made from a Jour
nal advocating woman's political free
dom, it is garbled or detached from
other portions of the sentence of which
it forms part in such a manner as to
cause it to lose its original significance,
or pervert entirely the meaning, and
supplemented by comment intended to
display the wit of the dishonest quill
driver, it is set afioat, the author imag-
lining he has done something extremely
clever, because perchance he has sue
ceeded in exciting the merriment of a
persons of his own calibre, who hold
themselves in readiness to sneeze when
he takes snuff. Witness the following
from the first issue of the Albany Even-
ing Democrat:
Mrs. Duniway's NEW NORTHWEST of this
week "exhOrts her sisters TO selEsacrifice."
From what we have observed of the woman
movement we opine the "sisters have been
sacrificing themselves all the time.
Small use to advance courteous argu-
ment to those who will none of it;
less, perhaps, to appeal to their truth
and generosity; but with the faint hope
that cline upon line, precept upon pre-
cept," may eventually accomplish
something even for them, we again ask
with Mrs. Browning that they
I" Deal nobly with us, women though we be;
And honor us with truth, if not with praise"

An exchange, relating the pleasant
observances Of the anniversary day of a
society, says:
The response to the usual toast, "The La
dies" was decidedly original in style, contain
ing humor and facetiousness, with sublime
sentiment and poetry.
Now, with due Difference to the opin-
ion here expressed of decided original
ity of STYLE" we ask if this toast has not
from time immemorial been responded
to with "facetiousness, humor, senti-
ment, and poetry" instead of solid
common sense and creditable tribute to
woman as the equal of man. 1t has al
ways been the custom of societies that
exclude women from their membership
to give at stated seasons, and after hav-
ing feasted upon dainties which women
have prepared, sugar-plum made up
of "humor, facetiousness, sentiment,
and poetry" in the shape of response
to toast, as any one can testify who
has attended one of their spread-eagle
displays. The fact is that the time has
come when this maudlin sentiment is
by sensible women considered a poor
recompense for sitting shivering in an
ante-room, or standing huddled to-
gether on a street-corner-as was the
case in this city at an anniversary cele-
bration last spring for the
lords who toast them in such lofty style
to go through opening or closing cere-
monies of lodge or camp so they can re-
join them. They prefer-perverse crea-
tures-to take their toast at breakfast,
and read poetry of their own selection,
and if there is anything good or solid or
sensible about these societies, enjoy it
with their brethren, and not in "side-
degrees" cooked up especially for them,
either. If there is one insult more pal
Pable than another which society offers
to women, it is in the universal dis
credit thrown upon their integrity and
intelligece by their exclusion from So
cieties that on public occasions toast
them as "angels," and make noisy DEM
onstration of working for their best in
terests. Patting and coaxing and sugar
plums are very well for children, invaI-
ids, and imbeciles; but they make weak
diet for women of mature years and ac-
tive or even ordinary intelligence.
We are informed, however, that the
society that listened to the "original re-
sponse" referred to above, rendered "a
vote of thanks" to the woman who had
prepared their banquet, and for this ac-
acknowledgement of the 'angelic" deeds of
one woman, let us all be becomingly
grateful.

Hdrper'S Magazine for December is a
number of unusual interest, and es-
pecially rich in illustration. Probably
no more exquisite engravings were ever
published in any periodical than those
which illustrate the opening article of
this number, "Up the Ashley and
Cooper" This article will be a new
revelation to most readers, showing
that even in the New World are to be
found old manorial homes worthy of
comparison with older countries. The
result of the publishers enterprise
in securing for this paper so many pic
lures never hitherto engraved fully JUS
titles the expense involved, and is a
significant illustration of the high pos
sibilities of illustrated journalism.

We have received from Herman
Snow, 319 Kearny street, San Francisco,
''Ihe New Gospel of Health" work
intended to teach the principles of vital
magnetism, and how to replenish the
springs Of life without drugs or stimu-
lants. The plain, common-sense views
which are given concerning the cause
and cure of consumption alone enti-
ties it to wide circulation and care
full perusal. We believe that hundreds
go to premature graves every year who
might have been restored to health, or,
better still, never have been attacked
by this fell destroyer, had they pos
sessed knowledge of the information
here impaired. While we commend,
we should be sorry to endorse all the
sentiments expressed in the book; as,
for instance, "girls need only so much
education as will make them good
mothers" A chapter of trash in this
strain is, however, offset by the decla-
ration that "whatever a girl wants to
do, she should be encouraged in doing.n
The book will repay careful study, and
may be obtained from Herman Snow,
3l9 Kearny street, San Francisco, Cal.

feet the interests Of the party properly
may be secured
If these things are done, the Repub-
lican party in Juniata county will cast
a larger vote for the Republican coun-
ty and State ticket than has been done
for years. The principles Of the party
that we're against Rebellion, are as
firuly enshriDed in the hearts of the
people as ever, and cannot be turned
away, uprooied OF worked out by any
process. Bad men, however, get in
sometimes. But this being an adjusta-
bic government by which unfaithful men
may be put out. and others put in, and
if they, too, are unfaithful, the same
process of voting them out can be ap.
piled to their case, and thus the whole
trouble can be easily managed by the
people, by putting out the vicious aud
putting in the good. Let US all then
work for the election Of honest, faith
full men on the 25th, at the Primary
Election, and thus secure an organisa-
tiou that will command the confidence
of the candidates. and the people gem
orally, and insure . victory at the
polls in November for both the State
