THE DIFFERENCE.

We find in the Lafayette Courier the
following in reference to new inventions:
"The dish-washing machine is the latest in
vention. They will continue to invent washers,
wringers, ironers, sewers, and one thing and
another, till women will not be worth Is cents
per Dozen"
an. Madison, living near Lafayette, has made
himselfa grubbing machine, which is superior
to anything we have ever seen of the kind. A
man with one hand can lift the largest size of
oak grubs without cutting out of the ground, so
we are informed. If this can be done it will be
of great benefit to the inventor"
Now, if any one can make it clear to
US why labOr-saving machine is Of
great benefit to man, and a positive
detriment to woman, we shall feel
obliged. Perhaps, however, labor-sav-
ing inventions do render people worth
less, and the vast accumulation of
threshers, reapers, mowers, gang and
steam plows, grubbing machines, ETC.,
ETC., is what is the matter with the aver
age masculine. Better return to the good
old fail, scythe, and sickle, or the first
thing we know men will not be worth
l22 cents per dozen.

YORK VS.. HAMMOND.

The San Francisco Bulletin stated.
during Mr.. Hammond's recent visit to
that city, that the great evangelist had
said before the Young Mems Christian
Association that while he was in Seat
tie, ian inhdel named York had opposed
him bitterly, but his hearers became
disgusted and left York" The friends
of DIR. York, in Seattle, became indig-
nant upon seeing the paragraph quoted,
whereupon they effervesced in printed
statements of denial as follows:
"First-The opposition to Mr. Hammond in
Seattle was not vanquished.
"Second-York did not come to Seattle till
Mr.. Hammond had left, and after Mr.. Ham
mond had left, York came to Seattle and lee
tured TO crowded houses, and both his popular
ity and his audiences increased"
These statements were signed by
about forty prominent citizens and pub
lished in local paper as an advertise
ment. We cheerfully give place to the
main points 10 the case in our editorial
columns, and are ready to extend a like
courtesy to the other side. We have no
sympathy for or interest in anything bu,
Truth, and hold the NEW NORTHWEST
at all times ready to act as an exponent
Of fair play.

TO OUR PATRONS.

Many subscriptions to the NEW
NORTHWEST will fall due at once. We
shall, as far as possible, render bills to
delinquents within the next two weeks,
and hope that all who receive them will
respond promptly. Remember, friends,
when the welcome rustic of your paper
falls upon your ears, and the bill, folded
snugly within it, drops into your lap, or
at your feet, that the editors "happy
New Year" depends to a great extent
upon her ability to meet business obli-
cations, and this depends entirely upon
yourselves. Our patrons have responded
nobly to reminders of this nature in the
past, and by so doing have enabled US
to place the great literary journal of the
Pacific Coast before large class of ap-
preciative readers. Judging the future
by the past, we have no doubt that this
appeal will be as promptly met. These
bills will be sent ont as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and in the meantime let those who
keep run of their own accounts, and
know that the time for the renewal of
their subscription has come, send on
the amount at once, and they will re-
ceive their bills receipted. Do not de-
lay in this matter, friends, but let us be-
gin the New Year fair and square, un-
trammeled by debt, aud to this extent
free from care. Assured that every pat
ron of the NEW NORTHWEST will dis
charge his or her financial obligation,
we, as an equivalent, renew the promise
made last year to battle valiantly for
the right "as God gives US to see the
right" working, waiting, hoping for the
NEW Era, ," the era of universal freedom,
to dawn. -s

1t ill becomes the citizens of this great
Republic to commiserate the benighted
condition of the "Heathen Chinee, -
while so nearly allied to him in senti-
ment, as the following announcement,
clipped from the Dallas Henizer, indi-
Gates:
BoRN.-To the wife OF John Vernon, last FRI
day night, TWO SONS 1t is stated that two dayS
afterward Mr.. V. was found son the broad OF
his back, upon the floor, kicking in the air
with his heels" No wonder he is happy; these
make the sixth and seventh children, but the
other five are all females. Who bIames him
for kicking in the air 3?
This exultant father of TWO SONS
should receive from the Board of For
eign Missions an elegantly bound copy
Of the Scriptures printed in the Chinese
language, inasmuch as he has not al
lowed his chagrin and disappointment
in times past to cause him to convert
the stream nearest his dwelling into a
Webfoot Ganges and commit thereto
the "five females" who have been so
impudently unreasonable as to be born
unto his house.

poetry, with a view to publishing if you
consider it worthy2 1 inclOse a speci-
men, which has already appeared in the
Farmer"
We have read the poem alluded to,
and find it pretty and sweet. Almost
all young writers begin with making
rhymes, which is to be regretted, as
prose letters from new beginners are
much more acceptable to the general
public than their unf1edged flutterings
in poesy can be. Could you not favor
US with an occasional racy bit of thought,
or news, or gossip, which everybody
would read? Our own ''first attempts"
at publishing were "poesy," and we are
sorry, and always shall be, that they
were not consigned to the editors waste
basket; for we outgrew the stuff as soon
as it was printed.
"A cherished correspondent asks if We
can think of some nice piece for concert
reading. He prefers prose, of a pathetic
nature Dickens "Death of Little
Nell" is the finest prose production of
the kind we just now think of. In poe
try, Will CarletOn's pastoral ballads
are unsurpassed. One of our typos sug-
gests "Jim Bludsoe, of the Prairie
Belle" as a model theme for religious
entertainment, and Eye Associate
timidly suggests "Little Breeches."
With such a programme before our
friend there will be little difficulty i'll
making a satisfactory selection. Our
own brains have been in such constant
whirl for the past four months that
we've forgotten everything but the cha
otic fragments of literary gems, that oc-
casionally dart through our scattered
senses like meteors, only to vanish as
they came.
A letter from CauyonviIle, Douglas
county, is before us, telling us of beau
tiful and romantic mining region which
the writer invites us to visit with her.
Wish we could, but tits not possible
now. Hope she'll favor our subscribers
with letters to the NEW NORTHWEST.
A friend from Yamhill county writes
US a "private" letter, which properly
belongs to the public, but gladdens our
heart, even though its writer, for the
present, hides her light under bushel.
Sometimes God has work for women
70 do, dear friend, which she will not
accept until she has been led into tho
slough of dependency and, through
financial stress, is persuaded to accept q
duty which she might otherwise never
take up. You are on the right track
now. Shall write you privately soon.
Would be glad of personal interview.
There are other letters to be consid.
cred, but the accumulated pages on ouIr
right admonish US to postpone furthoE
"chat with correspondents" to q mora
convenient season. In the meantime,
friends, continue to address US. You
shall each receive attention in your turn.

and uplands of Walla Walla, Columbia,
and Whitman counties have all sprung
from these parent trees.
We cannot leave Walla Walla till we
make special mention of its liberal and
public-spirited press. The Union, States
man, and Spirit of the West, the last a
semi-weekly, all treated US with that
genteel courtesy which any lady has a
right to demand from her colleagues in
business, but which is all the more ap-
preciated when it is spontaneously
given, because in so many instances we
have been compelled to fight to obtain
it at all.
On Sunday afternoon, goodly num-
Der of travellers, Portland bound, bade
goodbye to the excellent propfietors of
the well-kept Slime House, and were
conveyed in a stage-coach to. the rail-
way station to take ride from thence
to Wallula on DR.. Bakers road. After
an exhaustive delay the train was ready
for duty. A long, narrow box-car,
which some irreveraut individual de-
nominated "hearse,n was crowded on
it's two sides, like street-car in a rain
storm, and was hitched before a long
line of open trucks, loaded with bags of
wheat. The new engine was lying by
for repairs, they told us, and the wheezy
locomotive on duty had to pause very
often to catch breath, so we had a tedi-
Gus, sorry, five-hours' ride, beguiled by
the frequent witticisms of fellow-travel-
ers.
"What's the matter ?" cried nervous
individual, when the train gave the first
sudden halt.
"The tracks, soft, and we're stuck in
the mud ~ replied listener.
Loco wants water" explained one.
'He's baulky," said another.
"Wind-broken," suggested third.
And, indeed, to hear the poor engine
wheeze, you would have thought the
last surmise a correct one. But we
made the journey after waiting long
enough, and were soon enjoying COM
Portable supper at Mrs. Shorts hotel.
Spent the evening at Mr.. Peabody's,
and at bedtime retired to one of the ele.
CANT state-rooms in the o. s. n. Com
pany's commodious steamer, where We
were soon asleep and dreaming of the
loved ones at home. But the conelu-
sion of the whole matter must be de-
ferred till next week. AID.

OONSOLING-

Were the public at large to Judge En-
pire City by the noisome exudatIons
from the maudin brain of the editor of
the Weekly Record, there would besmall
show for decent people to ever seek that
lovely natural situation for a home.
But We take pleasure in assuring our
thousands of readers that the good peo-
pie of Empire City are no more to be
judged by that foul weakly excrescence
called Record, which some of them
may see occasionally, than are flock of
eagles to be judged by solitary buzz
zard. We have no taste for the kind of
glory (?) that would accrue to us from
STOPPING to properly eastigate the dis
gusting quadruped that seeks continu-
ally to offend US. Every coarse, ungen-
tlemanly attack from canine effetes is
only another nail driven by themselves
into the mans rights coffin.

Funny-tO see Democratic editors
make merry over q grammatical error.
That their ridicule in that direction has
not long ago been exhausted can only
be accounted for by the supposition that
they never read their own journals.
Careful or even cursory reading of cur
rent Democratic literature enables one
in short time to endure with compos-
ure the most unprovoked outrages upon
Lindley Murray, the most ruthless
butchery of the Kings English. We
sincerely pity those whose tender sensi-
bilities cause them to cry out under the
infiiction, and beg that they will not at
tempt to read their own proof until their
nerves recover from the shock produced
by finding a grammatical error in the
letter of a political opponent. When
'Me and Breck was detected" Demo
cratic editors did not see where the
laugh came in, and could hardly echo
the pious ejaculation, "god's will be
dun," with which the learned sire OF
our present Congressman announced bis
defeat for the Vice Presidency of the
United States.

RING OUT THE OLD, RING IN THE
NEW"
1a ''The good old year
So long companion of our way,
Shakes hands and leaves us here"

So long companion of our way,
Shakes hands and leaves US here"
The year 1875 has, with liberal hand,
lavished the last Of his stores upon those
who have accompanied him during his
allotted days upon the earth, and each
of the recipients of his bounty, casting
backward a hurried glance, turn to
greet with joyful anticipations his sue
cessor. His dark, somber daughter,
December, ''soie survivor of his twelve
fair children" will in few hours COM
plete the entries in his well-filled book,
old father Time, stern and unrelenting,
will close and clasp the ponderous vol
ume, and 1875, with all his records of
good and i'll, will take his allotted place
in the ranks of the ages. Retrospection
and anticipation strive for the mastery
as we contemplate in Imagination the
spent energies of the old year and the
pageantry which heralds tue swift on
coming of his successor, and as we hesi-
tate, casting backward glances of regret
and sorrow, or with new hopes and as
pirations going forward to meet the
hidden events that will be unfolded and
recorded in quick succession by the on
coming monarch, the bells in all the
steeples, with one accord, break forth in
a pecan. of rejoicing old year has
vanished, the new year appears. And
out upon the fresh breath of the year
newborn, we send 20 the tried friends
and true our bes: wishes and kindest
greetings, trusting that the New Year
may make or seem to make to them no
promises of pleasure, which may not be
more THAI fulfilled as the days are
stricken from his calendar.

MASCULINE ASSUMPTION.

All the way from Silver City, in the
Territory of Idaho, comes the subjoiued
gem of masculine wit (?) and impudent
assumption of superiority, and the AUa-
Ldnche is the vehicle which transports
it. True, it occurs to US that we have
seen something of the kind before, 80
that we cannot couscientiously award
the need of praise due originality to the
! person who this time suggests the
''darning of husbands stockings" to
women who, because of their energy
and business capability, can better af-
ford to buy a dozen pairs of stockings
than employ time in darning one. But
supposiDg that each one of the pro-
testants referred to has husband, and
each husband is so impecunious as to be
unable to replenish his dilapidated
wardrobe when necessary, it would still
be most obstreperous specimen Of the
genus homo who could keep an ener-
getic woman so constantly employed in
darning as to leave her no time for writ
ing her name to a protest. The truth
is, the women who are opposed to the
waste of public money in sham demon
stration are Taxpayers who naturally
desire voice in the disposal of that
which is wrested from them by a gov
ernment that treats them as aliens; who
can darn their husbands stockings if
necessary, but who are able to buy them,
and perhaps prefer to do so.
The "sorry figure" that some editors
cut in attempting to suggest or dictate
upon topics that they know nothing
about" could not be outdone by the
most uncouth member of the "shriek-
ing sisterhood" that was ever carica-
tured by the vapid quill of the most
stupid of country editors. Sensible peo-
pie have come to the conclusion, not
withstanding the gratuitous advice of
impertinent meddlers, that it is much
more creditable to Intelligent women to
interest themselves in matters involv-
ing the public veal, as finance, educa-
tion, ETC., than to bend all their energies
toward Legitimate endeavors to catch
husbands" that they may spend the re-
mainder of their lives in Charming
stockings"
But we have kept back the literary
gem referred to long enough to give it
the relish of curiosity, and we submit it,
asking our readers if any woman or
number of women could by any protest
or position cut quite so "sorry figure''
as do these impertinent and self-consti-
tuted advisers:
A large number of ladies (?) have united in a
protest to Congress against any appropriation
of public money in aid of the Centennial. They
say that the show is only local celebration for
the benefit of the Quaker city. How do they
know? They had better be darning their hus-
bands stockings, or, If they have no husband
be making legitimate effort to get one, rather
than cutting the sorry figure which they do in
attempting to suggest or dictate upon topics
that they know nothing about.
