On her dead white cheek, and her shut

U Ey>Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana,
is wiley old politician. He was tie
only Northern Democrat at the Neck
lenburg Centennial Celebration. and the
way he plastered it on to the Tarheels
was caution. He made them believe
they had the handsomest women, the
smartest boys, the highest mountains,
the grandest scenery, the best goobers,
the sweetest distilled mountain dew and
the most intelligent Democrats os any
State in the Union. He talked glibly
about the imperialism of New England
and the common interests of the West
and the South. As a political dodge it
was we'll played. but about the time that
the Tammany chiafs take those Tarheels
and show them the elephant in New York
and carry them off for Tilden or Seymour,
Hendricks will feel cheap.-Knoruille

"a Chickens want no food many hour,
after they were hatched, as they are then
digesting the yolk of the egg, which con,
stitutes their first food, and acquirino
strength to run about. When they begin
to peck they should be fed with soft food
and very small grain. Unqucs:ionably
the best soft food is an egg beaten nm
with teasp oonful of milk, and heated in
in an oven or by the side of fire until it
settles into soft custard. Chickens fed
or partly. fed, on this, make wonderful
progress. If they are to make large
fowls they must be fed soon after day,
break ; if, as is too often the case thew
are left hungry for three hours in the
morning, they are always stunted in
their growth. They must be fed the e-st
thing, and while they are young, every
two or three hours during the day.-Er.

Fun at Home.

Don't he fraid Of little fun at home
good people; don't shut up your homes
lest the sun should fade your carpets and
your hearts, lest hearty laugh should
shake down seme Of the musty cobwcbs
there. If you want to ruin your sons, let
them think that al mirth and social en-
joymnt must be left on the threshold
when they come in at night. When
once nome is regarded as only a place
to eat, drink and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in gambling house and
degradation. Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere. If they
do not find it at their own hearthstones
it will be sought in other, and perhaps
less profitable place. Therefore, let the
fire burn brightly at night, and make the
homo ever delightful with all those little
arts that parents so perfectly understand.
Don't repress the buoyant spirits Of your
children; half an hour round the lamp
and freight Of home blots out the re.
memberence Of many care and annoy
ance during the day, and the best safe>
guard they can take with them into the
world is the unseen influence of bright
little domestic sanctum.-Dio Le,cis

LETTER FROM oANYoNv1LLE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
A few items from Canyonville may
not be uninteresting to you, therefore
hurriedly submit the following:
Having received my commission as
State Deputy from our Grand Worthy
Chief Templar, 1 commenced my labors
in that capacity by delivering temper
ance lecture on the 18th inst, at Days
Greek, seven miles east of this place. A
large audience was in attendance, and
of the interest manifested you can judge
by the fact that succeeded in organiz-
ing a lodge with thirty-seven charter
members, few days thereafter. Ihave
an appointment to lecture on Cow
Creek on the 30th inst, where 1 hope to
organize lodge.
The saloon men got the better of US
on their petitions for license last court.
We did our best, but they beat US two
to one. There are therefore three sa-
looms fiourishing under the protection
of law in Canyonville. think we will
defeat them next year, if the good work
goes on as now.
Canyonville contains three stores,
two blacksmith shops, one wagon shop,
cabinet shop, two hotels, church,
and about 200 inhabitants. We have
also good school with about so stu
dents in attendance.
No rain has fallen in this locality as
yet this fall, consequently it is very dry
and smoky, and withaI somewhat sick
ly, typhoid fever being the prevailing
disease.
The temperance ticket will receive
but slight support in this locality. We
do not think that the temperance con-
ventiOn displayed wisdom or prudence
in placing a candidate before the people
at this time. The temperance element
should be fed and fostered by every true
lover of the cause, until it becomes suf-
ficiently strong to go before the people
with surety, or at least a chance oi
success. The contest in this and Jack
son county will be between Warren
and Lane. D.
Canyonville, Or, Sept. "A, 1875.

rents of air, how they have besh COL
lected together by electricity into clouds
and then diffused upon the earth's sur
face in copious showers, on mountain
and valley, irrigating the soil, and
causing it TO bring forth vegetation,
beautifying the landscape, clothing the
fields with flowers and verdure, and
purifying the atmosphere and loading
it with rich aroma, comforting countless
benefits upon man. How those waters,
soaking through the ground, and trick
ling through ten thousand channels,
forming veins of water in the earth,
gush forth again in springs, forming
rivulets, streams and rivers, until they
again return to their native deep. What
q sublime subject for contemplation
Nor does it end here. Look again at
those mighty currents of the ocean that
never change, never deviate from their
onward course. Not only the wonder
ful 'Gulf stream," but innumerable
others of lesser note. Again, how beau
tifully has it been arranged for the sea-
sons to come and go; for vegetation as
well as all animated nature to have
their periods of rest and sleep, winter
being the term of sleep for all vegeta-
tion-and this sleep is as necessary to
the growth and health of the vegetable
world as our sleep is to US. The tiny
plant, the grass and herbs, all breathe,
the buds and leaves of plants answering
for their lungs, and, their respiration
being once in twenty-four hours, inhal-
ing the air through the night, and ex-
haling it during the day, throwing off
the oxygen-that property in the air
which supports animal life. Hence,
physicians say that a bouquet of flowers
in sick room in daytime is beneficial
to the invalid, as it not only enriches
the atmosphere with delicious aroma,
but also loads it with greater proper
tion of that property (oxygen) which
supports life.
Everything has been designed for
purpose, whether or not visible to our
understanding. May we not reasonably
conclude that similar things exist in
other parts of creation? Can we sup
pose that our earth, beautiied and en-
livened by all the grand designs of
nature that elevate and ennoble man, is
the only favored spot in all that vast
creation Of worlds that on other plan
cts, instead of beauty and sublime
grandeur, reigns eternal desolation,
where no flower has ever bloomed to
shed its fragrance on the air, and no
sound of voice in prayer or praise has
ever broke the eternal stiffness of the
scene, and that they sweep their track
less rounds in silence from year to year !?

Hon. w. R. Dunbar, G. w. c. T., re-
turned from Olympia last week, whith-
er he had been in attendance upon the
Grand Lodge of Washington Territory.
He reports the condition of the order
within the jurisdiction of his own Grand
Lodge as extremely f1ourishing, while
indications point to the same state of af-
fairs regarding Washington Territory.
He doesn't seem to be lending hand at
stirring the political pot now bubbling
with such conglomerate contents, and
if politician, is wise or willy enough
to keep his own counsel. His work in
the field during the past year has been
ofincalculable benefit to the order which
he represents.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

E. T., Kalama: Note received. Shall
be glad to see you at the time men,
toned.
D. D. s., Albany: All right, and
thanks for prompt response. Hope bet
ter times are coming for US all.
J. S., Brownsville: Paper changed as
directed. Accept our thanks for your
compliments and promise to work for
the NEW NORTHWEST.
Mrs. NJ. NJ. B., Corvallis: Place and
hour of meeting is yet to be decided
upon. Presume, however, that those in
authority will attend to it in ample
time.
o. P. H, Pioneer: We must decline to
excite "fun" by cumbering our columns
with the articles you refer to. Trash is
trash, whether written by Spiritualists,
Free Thinkers or orthodox Christians,
and it all goes into the waste basket to-
gether. This is certainly fair, and
leaves no room for complaint from dis
ciples of either faith.

The Resources of Coos County," to-
gether with business directory of the
same, compiled and published by Henry
H. Gale, in a substantial pamphlet of
12O pages, is upon our table. The
pamphlet furnishes large amount of
information relative to the subject un-
der consideration, and is prepared by
one thoroughly conversant with the re-
sources Of Coos county. The book is for
sale at n. J. McCormick's, in this city.

Speaking of an effort proposed to get
Woman Suffrage bill through the
Legislature of Washington Territory, a
correspondent writes: ga convention
of the Territorial Association will prob
ably be called by our President, Mrs.
Brown, about the time that the Legisla-
ture convenes. Our efforts may result
in something, and in any event it is
well to keep the ball rolling from year
to year. 1t gathers weight and momen-
tum as 1t proceeds, and will hit the
mark sometime, whether soon or late"
We hope our friends will make a strong
and consistent fight for their liberties
before the honorable body that justly OF
unjustly holds them in charge.

Mrs. Duniway accuses the editor Of the
''Star' Of using tobacco. We do not intend to
parade our social habits before the public, but
being a wife, mother, and WOMAN, we have
no use for tobacco.-[star.
Wed disclaim any intention of ignoring
Sister Turner as editor of the Star, and
thought, indeed, that we were doing her
favor to attribute divers and sundry
Turner-isms which have recently ap-
peared in that paper to their proper au-
/, thor. And now, if she will make it
plain to us why wife, a mother, and a
woman should not have as much use for
tobacco as a man, a husband, and a
father has, we will apologize hand
somely for being able to discern the diff
ference between her articles and an
others squibs.
