THAT LAST EXPIRING HOWL.

"H. n. Marquand," who for few
troublous weeks figured as "editorr Of
the Coos Bay Record, steps down and
out this month, giving place, as he re-
tires under cOmpulsion, to Messrs. Wat
son & Webster, who will remove the
concern to MarshfieId, and boil it in
concentrated Iye till they get it cleaned
up, after which the Republicans can
boast decent paper in that county.
We could name a score of just such un-
fortunate canine effetes as Marquand,
who have barked themselves to death in
a vain attempt. to destroy the NEW
NORTHWEST. And still we live to
chronicle another "last expiring howl. !"

season. We promised another visit,
however, which promise we hope soon
to cancel.
Professor Prentice adjourned his ex-
cellent singing school upon the last
evening to attend the lecture with his
pupils, who hold him and his work in
high regard. We bespeak for him a
crowded school at its next session.
Vancouver is a very beautifully To-
Gated town, having an adjacent agri-
cultural country of fertility and scope.
Many neat and tasteful dwellings
abound, and there are quite number
of brick stores and offices. George
Stewart, ESQ.,, who got his start in
Yamhill, does a successful law business,
as also does Byron Daniels, Esq, from
the same classic locality. There are
several general dry goods stores, but all
the merchants are too poor to take the
NEW NORTHWEST, except Mrs. E
Smith, who keeps fine stock of confec.
tionery and eatables.
There is much complaint of hard
times among the people, Portland being
so near as to take precedence over Van
couver in business affairs. The citizens
are justly proud of their local paper anG
its enterprising editor, who plants him
self squarely upon the platform of hu'
man rights and com mon sense.
Whisky and drunkenness flourish
here, as they do at The DaIles, where
several Pharisees control the churches
as one does here. Extremes always
meet, and whisky bibbers and self
righteous ministers unite in opposing
the woman question. The whisky sell
ers, however, are several degrees aheaC
of some preachers, for We have no doub
but that any of them would allow us Il
preach the gospel of peace and temper
snce and brotherly love and charity il
their saloons if we should ask them.
We left Vancouver, after four and 1
half days sojourn among its many hos
pitable and whole-souled friends of hu
man rights, feeling thoroughly strength
ened in every good word and work
And if any preacher feels aggrieved be
cause we speak the truth, let him flint
what consolation he may in the fac
that he is far behind the intelligence O
the age when he supposes that the peO
pie will sustain him in trying to protec
God from the women with lock ant
key. A. J. D.

YOUR DREss-0oAT, YOUR MONEY
AND YOUR VOTE"

Occasionally q woman, whose name
would never have been placed in type
had she patiently plodded in the path
which she marks out for her sex to
travel, gives US sample of her discern
ment, and insures herself a hearing in
all the witless journals in the country
by an attempt at cleverness like the fol-
lowing:
It is Mary Murdoch Mason who divides hel
sex into three classes-the giddy butterflies, the
busy bees, and the wOmen's Fighters. The
FIRST are pretty and silly, the second plain and
useful, the third manish and odious. The first
wear long, trailing dresses and smile at you
while waltzing; the second wear aprons and
give you apple dumplings; and the third want
your manly prerogatives, your dress-coat, your
money, and your vote.
1t would take more weight than is
carried by the name of Mary Murdoch
Mason, or that of any other woman who
selfshly. enjoys benefits which SHE
would fain deny her sisters, to make
such twaddle as the above PASS current
among sensible folks for wit, wisdom,
or even plain common sense. Read il
again, women, and see if after all there
is much more credit attached to being
members of one of these classes than to
another. Rendered in plain terms, il
means that you must either be the SER
want, the tool, or the dictator of men,
and you know full well that you desire
to be neither. To be sure, wearing
aprons and dishing up apple dumplings
is not incompatible with the dignity OF
any woman, but few women would care
to be kept in such attire and occupation
constantly and told peremptorily that
such was "their place."
As "manly prerogatives" seem mostly
to consist in smoking and chewing to-
bacco, lounging around street corners,
and like ennobling occupations, we
would beg to be excused from assuming
them, even though our brethren were
willing to abdicate in our favor, which
they show no disposition to do as any
one can see. Inasmuch as "dress-coatsr
cost as much as trailing dresses" and
would be about as unbecoming, We see no
reason why women should desire to
send men abroad in their shirt sleeves;
indeed, we know of none who would
thus despoil them.
"Your money" women do not want,
but they do want their own and that
without having it doled out to them
two or four bits at time, with an air
that could not be more aggrieved or
condeseending were the recipient OF
what is honestly her own a mendicant.
"Your vote" men and brethren, we do
not want, but we do want a vote of our
own, and our word for it we will have
it, too, and show you that it won't take
US all day to deposit ballot, either, by
fastening home to tie on aprons and
dish up the family dumplings in good
time and excellent style. So don't
worry concerning "manly prerogatives
your dress-coat, your money, and your
vote" for women want none of them
preferring always an exercise of theil
own rights to despoiling men of theirs

We inadvertently omitted last week
to note the receipt of pamphlet enti-
tied, Washington Territory, its Soil,
Climate, and Productions" compiled by
Mrs. A. H. Stuart, of Olympia. 1t is
neatly printed at the office of the Wash

Of matterof value to citizens of the Terri

piled for the purpose of aiding imWi-
grafton, by describing the natural re-

FROM ENOAMPMENTS.

To A. f. JOHNSON, GRAND Con-. C..
R. C.-Dear Sir and BrOther:-In ac-
eordanee with your request, asking for
information regarding the prosperity of
the various Encampments, L would
gladly state that Washington Encamp-
ment No. 3, G. r. c., located at this
place, is doing we'll, and now consists of
about sixty members. 1t has met with
many troubles and reverses during the
past, but the crisis seems to be over and
new day is dawning upon US, and 1
have no doubt that the future of the
Order in this locality will be glorious
one, and that many true men and wom-
en- will be found ready to stand up and
fight under the standard for the cause
that we have at heart-the great tenn
perance reform.
Our membership is somewhat scat
tered, some residing in Seattle, others
in Tacoma, and still others only few
miles from Olympia; yet these mem
bers are always punctual in meeting
with us when the opportunity offers,
and only regret that they have to be alb
sent at all.
The work of our Encampment has
been done in a thorough manner, and
the officers vie with each other in ac-
quitting themselves creditably, and so
long as this feeling prevails we need
have little fear of failure. Hoping to
see communications from other En-
campments, I remain Companion fra
ternally in &C, H., PIP.

To w. H. ROBERTS, GRAND SEC'Y G..
R. C.-Dedr Sir and rother:-While
looking over the last issue of the Star,
1 chanced to notice request to mem
bers CT the various Encampments within
our Jurisdiction to correspond with the
Grand Secretary touching the prosper
ity of the same.
had just returned from visit to La
Creole Encampment, situated at Dallas,
where had the pleasure of assisting in
the installation of the newly-elected of
ficers. L also had the pleasure of meet
ing with the Encampment at its regular
session. They have a commodious and
well-arranged hall and lively and en-
ergetic membership, and from appear
ances I should say that this Encamp-
ment bids fair to be numbered among
the first in this jurisdiction.
Harmony Encampment No. 4, located
in this city, is bright star to which
can point with pride. She still moves
slowly but surely along in the good
work, keeping up her membership and
wedding out the dead-weights who do
not honor the Order sufficiently to meet
its just claims upon them. 1t is with
pleasure that record the interest man
ifesfed by our members and the prof..
cheney of those to whom is intrusted the
management of our affairs. All have
pledged themselves to work earnestly
the coming year for the benefit and ex-
tension of the Order. 1 should like,
were it at all possible, to visit each En-
campment within our limits during the
year, lending such aid as would be in
my power for the furthcrance of the
good work. Hoping ever to have a good
report to give of Harmony Eneampment,
l remain Companion, with fraternal re-
CARDS, yours in &C, H., PIP.

Edgar Marston, pale, htid and On
hatisted, but 20 all appearances unhtirl
save for i bfulse alitln bis right tefttpia
was drawn ferth from it. The by.
ISLANDERS crowded round him. but he
was flint and weak.
Edgars story, when he was able to
tellit was simple one, and had MI
ready been anticipated by that ma.
tured sylvan experience of the baron.
When he sprang from the siedge u
had been with a full conviction that he
was about to save Anniette's life at the
sacrifice 6f his own. He had, however,
made a desperate effort TO reach The
great beach tree, in tho poor hope
that, by setting his back against 1t aud
making vigorous use of his hunting
knife, be might gain time to grasp
one OF the lower bougs and draw
himself up beyond Tho reagh aha
wolves. But 10 Mis- oUristerna

alighted, ana which was CON pissed o.
rotten branches coated with moss and
dried leaves, gave way beneath his
feet, and he was precipitated into the
narrow pit below, receiving ms he fell
n blow on the head from projecting
stake which stunned him for mo
ment, and when he recovered his
senses it was to hear the furious yolp-
ing and bowling of the disappointed
wolves that ragged around the brink of
his prison, and TO see by the gnashing
teeth, as they bent over the edge and
yainly tried to seize the prey beneath
them.
The tale is told. The preiudices
which had induced the Count and
Countess Galitzln to object to Edgar as
suitor for their daughters hand, melt
ed like snow in the sun when their
hearts were touched by the generous
self-sacrifice of the gallant young man,
whose praises were on ever hand.
