EUREKA!

One man is heard from whom we
can place in the category with some
dozens of women of our acquaintance.
We rejoice, yea, we are exceedingly
happy. He resides in the renowned
county of Yamhill, has been for long
time patron of the NEW NORTHWEST,
and owing TO this fact, has become a
benedict, and owing to this, has been
compelled to stop his paper-because,
forsOOth, he must buy 606y-clothes.
Now is the winter of our discomfort
rendered endurable, not to say glorious.
Hear him, ye pauper wives, who,
after having converted the last shred of
your wedding finery into wee garments
which pugnacious bantlings 1UouId kick
out and render unserviceable for their
successors, have been compelled to give
up your paper in order TO purchase
new supply, hear him, and rejoice that
one man "knOws how it is himself"
DEAR MRS EDITORIALS am a married man
now, and will need that much more to buy
baby-clothes, you will please discontinue my
paper. Respectfully
There We had almost given the
signature, thus publishing this poverty
stricken benedict to the world; but we
forbear. We hope the wife of this re-
cently-discOvered specimen of manly
believes in equal rights, and
won't allow the dear fellow to become
an intellectual wreck utterly, in his
self-sacrificing endeavors to clothe their
offspring. Alas for the husband thus
early commencing to ''save to buy baby
if his wife is one of the ''cling-
ing vine" species, and insists upon his
keeping mp that sort of thing. His ci-
gars and tobacco are in jeopardy al
ready; and as to his drinks-but there;
we won't add to his sorrows by turning
prophet. Bad enough, in all conscience,
that he must endure present evils.

THE STORM.

1t seems, from all accounts, that
"Bleak Boreas" has been indulging in
a most untimely carnival throughout
the northwest coast. A correspondent
from Skokomish, w. T., writes under
date of November IL:
We are luxuriating in the first snow of the
season, which fell two days since to the depth
OF n foot Last night we were visited by a
heavy wind, which for time feIIed trees in the
forest on the other side of the river so rapidly
that the sound was like prolonged peals of
thunder. To-day it is raining, but the snow
seems reluctant 10 leave u.s.
On the night Of the 18th a terrific
gale passed over Seattle, commencing
about $3.50, and lasting till after mid
night. Houses were blown down, win
dows smashed, and trees prostrated.
Roads were blockaded in every direc-
tion, and telegraph lines broken in
many places. The Seattle Coal Com
pany had twenty men employed on the
18th In clearing their railroad of fallen
timber, and it was not accomplished
until late in the evening. Some idea of
the rayages Of the storm may be found
from the fact that in the distance of ten
or twelve miles fifty trees had fallen
across the telegraph line. Taken all to-
gether, the storm outdid in fury any,
thing in the memory of even that
sapient individual, the ''oldest inhab-
itant.n

THE WRECK.

The following statement of part of the
crew of the ship "Orpheus," places the
action of Captain Sawyer in a different
light from that which his own state
ment, published last week, threw upon
the disastrous collision. We are 10th to
believe that Captain Sawyer is not only
directly responsible for the sad mishap,
but that he thereafter left the hapless
victims to perish when he might have
rendered assistance. We shall therefore
look with interest for his side of the
story, and hope he may be able to dis
prove the serious charges herein made:
Charles Thompson, being duly sworn,
depOses, and says that he is a native of
Sweden, aged 20 years, and that on or
about the 26th day of October, 1875, he
shipped as seaman on board the ship
"Orpheus," of Boston, Charles Sawyer,
master, bound for Departure Bay, B. c.,
for coal; that on the 4th day of NOVem-
Der, A. d. 1875, between the hours of 9
and 10 Z. NJ, he was at the wheel of said
ship, and Il light was sighted two points
off the port bow, and he received an or
der from the second mate to head for the
light, which he did, and few moments
after this the captain ordered him to
again put the ship on her course, which
he did, and after this about three min
utes the captain ordered him to let her
luff, which he did. And after this the
captain, Charles Sawyer, stated that he
wanted to speak the vessel with the
light, for which purpose the light was
kept about dead ahead until the steamer
hnUn ahnnt fgyn moi mt off ho 81
bow, when the captain gave the order
to port the helm hard down, which or
der was Obeyed, but too late to avoid a
collision. After ascertaining that the
ship had not sprung leak, the captain
ordered the helmsman to put her on
her course, which course was kent
about ali hour or more. The steamer
the ship and hailed her three
separate times, but no answer was re-
turned, and the ship kept on her course.
After following the ship few minutes,
the steamer was unable to keep up with
her, and dropped astern. Fifteen min
utes after the collision, all traces of the
steamer had vanished, the lights disap-
peared, and nothing more was seen of
her by the ship. 1t was about fifteen
from the time the light was
sighted until the collision. If the ship
had held her own course she would
have passed about two miles to the lee
ward of the steamer. At the time of
the collision the ship was going about
eight knots, with a fair breeze, and the
night was clear, but during the night
It blew very hard. and also rained.

The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1875-11-26

We have received from the President
of the Citizens Suffrage Association, of
Philadelphia, a sample of envelopes
which are sent to any address, postage
paid, for fifty cents per hundred. The
principles which the Association works
to maintain are neatly printed on the
envelope, the intention being to give
persons interested in the suffrage cause
an economical plan of scattering their
doctrines by using these envelopes, in
place of plain ones, both for private and
business correspondence. The plan is
unique, feasible, and economical, and
we hope friends of the suffrage move
ment will aid in carrying it forward by
each sending fifty cents in currency to
E. M. Davis, President of the Citizens
Suffrage Association, 333 Walnut street,
Philadelphia, and receive in return one
hundred of these envelopes.

TAXES EVADED.

AS will be seen by a communication
printed elsewhere, the Smith sisters, of
Glastonbury, Connecticut, in order to
evade portion of the unjust taxes that
they have to pay while being denied
the exercise of citizens rights, have in
vested several thousand dollars in the
publication of the translation of the
Bible, made by Miss Julia Z. Smith,
and from which they do not expect any
return in money. The illegal processes
of the tax collector are thus arrested on
so much Of their property. They have
in this double purpose-the one Just
named, and the further one of giving a
convincing proof of the learning, ability
aud persistence of woman, which will
add to the Justice of the demand which
women are making for political equal
ity. This woman who is BY men-tbe
lawmakers of Connecticut-cons
incapable of managing what she right
fully and lawfully owns, has written out
the Bible five times-twice from the
Greek, twice from the Hebrew, and
once from the Latin.
These women have stood, and are to-
day compelled to stand, that which our
revolutionary fathers are lauded for
having rebelled Reconsideration with
out epresentation-and this after hav-
ing petitioned for redress from these
wrongs repeatedly, "in the most humble
termsi' after having protested against
the injustice of paying tithes to gov
ernment that holds them in all things
else as aliens, after proving in a thous-
and ways their ability to manage and
control their own.
Taxation without representation was
declared tyranny in 1776. Isit less than
that century later? The consistent
and persistent example of these heroic
women in behalf of freedom and Justice
will cause future generations to call
them blessed. If honest protest will
not avail them, we are glad to see them
resort to womanly ingenuity to avoid
unjust taxation. May they not weary
in well doing.

RECENT EVENTS.
J. A. KUHN,
Notary Public.

Fully 10000 persons attended each of
the two revival services held in Phila-
delphia on the 21st inst, by Moody and
Sankey. The streets in the vicinity
were crow ded, despite the drenching
rain.
The Vice President died suddenly at
7:3O, or the morning of the ODD He
rested well at night, awoke at O'Clock
in the morning, expressed himself as
feeling bright and better, sat up in bed
to take his medicine, lay down on his
left side, and expired in few minutes
without a struggle.
The actinn of Chief Justice White
in discharging brigham Young for al
legged contempt of court for disobedience
to the order of Judge Mclean, requiring
him to pay alimony to Ann Eliza, is
satisfactory to the government. 1t is
the opinion of the Attorney General
that the woman in question, in marry
ing Brigham Young, violated the Uni
ted States statues, and, therefore, could
not avail herself of her own wrongs.

GIVE THANKS.

Friends of humanity, co-laborers in
the great cause of equal rights, we too
have something to give thanks for. Let
US give thanks for the evidences we see
all around US Of the gradual supplanting
OF error and injustice by truth and JUS
tice; thanks that while vet a little
while ago Legislators laughed to scorn
the demands Of women for equality be-
fore the law, they now give it their
gravest attention, their most earnest
consideration, appoint their best and
most logical members upon committees
70 which wOmen's petitions for the bal
lot are referred, set apart certain days
upon which to take the report of these
under consideration, and year by year
decrease the majorities againt woman's
freedom; thanks that all over the land
the doors of colleges, medical schools,
law schools, and schools of theology,
erewhile closed and double-bolted with
the prejudices and customs of men, are
now swung back upon their hinges, their
stubborn bolts compelled to fly back be-
fore the persistent demands of intelIi-
gence and progress; thanks that not
withstanding the frowns of blgots and
the displeasure of elders, women stand
IN pulPits and with uncovered heads
and reverent voices give reason for the
faith that is within them, and accepta-
bly, proclaim the message of "peace on
earth and good will to men," thanks
that neither the sneers of men in high
places, nor the contempt or Indifference
of women safe in sheltered homes, has
been sufficient to discourage true
women and noble men in their demands
for equality and justice, but that these
demands are making themselves heard, |
while those who make them are every-
where respected; thanks that woman,
seeing her opportunity, and the neces-
sity of exertioR, has braved the ridicule |
Of the ignorant, the stoicism of the in
different, and iu numberless ways proven
that woman's sphere is only limited by
her capabilities, her work bounded only
by her own energy, judgment, and abil-
ity.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1875-11-26

this statement, and other converts are
fiocking TO our standard, Importing to
US a lively and well-grounded faith,
which sees in the near future women en-
joying social and political equality with
men. As yet, it would seem that those
who are against us are more than they
that are for us. Women themselves,
accustomed to subjection, like the He
brews of old, chose the flesh-pots of
Egypt with bondage, rather than lib
erty, if, to enjoy that liberty, they must
brave public opinion, and share the
odium invariably cast upon the advo-
Gates of reform. y few noble excep-
tions there are, who, unmindfuI of con-
tempt, derisions, Sights and eviI-speak-
ing, bravely advocate the true principles
of right and justice, their only incent-
i've being the good of humanity. These
are not restrained by false notions of
modesty or dignity, nor do they think
it necessary, as did many in our
Saviour's time, to inquire: "Have any
of the rulers or the Pharisees believed
on Him ?"
In every age, the name of this class of
inquirers is legion. In their estimation,
no measure can be worthy of their sup
port unless the instigatOrs thereof are
the rich and great. If this be so, they
will cooperate most heartily, but if not,
they dare not tamper with it, not even
to investigate its merits, lest they
should be contaminated by contact with
the common people. 1t is sad to see
people base their respectability on such
grounds.
The hour is coming, yea, even now is,
when these sensitive ones may no longer
withhold their influence on this score.
Already, few of the rulers and Phari-
sees have avOwed their intention to pro-
mote the cause of woman to the extent
of their ability. Already, the effects of
the efforts, prayers, and tears of the up
holders of right against might are being
felt, and even its strongest supporters,
surprised at the result, are ready to ex-
claim: "BehOld what God hath |
wrought ~ And, ere long, those who
cry out against woman's enfranchise- |
ment and consequent elevation to per-
feet equality with man, beholding their
efforts fail, their arguments contro-
verted, and women assuming the posi-
ton intended for them by their Creator,
and proving las in the case of the Mo-
hammedan's daughter), their ability to
overcome any difficulties attending
their newly-acquired station, will hang
their heads and meekly reiterate the
cry: "Mashallah Mashallah % while
rom the vast throng of emancipated
women will arise the glad, hearty, CRATE
ul response: "Amen The will of God
De done! :" AGNES.
