I. 0. G. T.

From the annual report Of the Grand
Secretary I. o. G.. T., we gather the fol-
lowing statistics: Number of lodges in
the jurisdiction at last report, 92; or
ganized since that time, 49, 'reor-
ganized, 9; ceased working, 26; whole
number now in working order, 115; to-
tai membership at close of the last
term, April 80, 1876, 1858; estimated
membership of lodges not reported, $40;
total receipts for the year, S2,749 Al; ex-
penditures, S2,S3S 76; balance cash on
hand, $40 II.
w. r. Dunbar was unanimously re-
elected G. w. c. T.; Mrs. Kate
MeClung, G. w. c.; Miss Joanna Lyle,
G. w. V. T.; T. H. Crawford, G.. w. s.;
Mrs. E. Kellogg, G. w. T. The next
session of the Grand Lodge will be held
in Albany.
q. w. c. T. Dunbar will again imme-
diately take the lecture field, laboring,
as we understand, principally in South
ern Oregon until time for the State
Fair. His zeal and energy in the cause
in which he is enlisted are, as is well
known, unbounded, and will doubtless
in the year to come, as in the year past,
make telling and glorious record for
Good Templarism. 'To rescue the
fallen and to save others from falling"
is surely noble mission, and one at
tended with ali honor. The fervent
"God speed" of all men and women in
terested in the great branch of reform
which he so ably represents, will ac-
company Mr.. Dunbar in his journey
ings through the sunny portion of our
State.

DHMOORATLJ ORACLE MAKES A
DISO0VERTI.

1t
Is really wonderful how persons op-
posed to Woman Sut rage make items
Tor the newspapers out of their own dis
torted ideas, and how, even while fly
ing past Laramie City, they are able to
discover that the ladies of Wyoming are
heartily disguS ted with ''female suf-
frage." OF W hat use is it for Judge
Kingmau or successive Governors of the
Territory to bear repeated and conclu-
sive testimony relative to the beneficial
results of the system, and the fact that
the women almost universally avail
themselves of the privileges of the fran
chise? Mart. Brown, spinning through
the Territory of Wyoming on the fast
flying trains of the G. P. r. R., en- route
for the st. Louis Convention, declares
that "even now but few women avail
themselves of the voting privilege, and
these who do so are only brought out
through the earnest solicitations of anx-
ious candidates"
The legislators of this Territory are
chosen jointly by the votes of men and
women, and it does seem little strange
if, as this sapient quill-driver asserts,
"the question of repeal of Woman Suf-
frage were left to the women alone, it
would prevail by an overwhelming ma
iority," that it is impossible to elect a
Legislature that has the power to repeal
the act comforting the boon. 1t is al
most too bombastic for even Mart. Brown
to declare that the men of Wyoming
tkeep this law upon the statute books in
defiance of the wishes of the women. II
Mart. is so devoid of sagacity, so limo
cent abroad" as to be thus imposed
upon by his informant, gentleman ot
intelligence" let him not tiatter him
self that unsophisticated innocence a.
home is thus credulOus.
Again, it is plain that if the "anxiout
candidates. Of Wyoming are as anxious
as Oregon candidates for Office, tina
very few voters would remain at homt
on election day; so that little bit of fic
ton vanishes before sober and well
known fact.
While endeavoring to convince hi
readers of the unpopularity of Woman
Suffrage where it exists, he gives vent
albeit with his usual coarse languag
and vulgar attempt at wit, to fact pat
ent even to his mind, as the following
preface to the remarks above referred t
proves:
Here also doth abound the woman voter an
the female Justice of the Peace. (FOr you a
, do know that female suffrage prevails in tn
Territory of Wyoming) 1t really does seem 3
, II the women are working square in the lead
this region, for at every eating station since "
) entered the Territory, some buxom matrOn {
: hollow-chested old maid bossed the dining
room and feathered onto our greenbocks.
: According to this statement, the frar
chise has conferred upon working won
t en- right equal to that of wOrkin
; men, viz: the right to collect "greer
: backs" which they have earned, and
t earn greenbacks in any honorable wa
s that presents itself.
Pity that such wonderful discover
relative to the detrimental effects
Woman Suffrage cannot be sustaint

1t is recorded that gentleman re-
siding in one of the large towns Of
England, whose face exceeded the or
dinary dimensions was waited on by
a barber every day for twenty-one
years without coming to a settlement.
The barber, thinking it about time to
settle, presented his bill, in which he
charged penny o day, amounting in
alto f31. 26s. Cd. The gentleman, sup.
posing too much was charged, refused
to pay the amount, but agreed to a
proposal of tho barber TO pay at the
rate Of f200 an acre. The premises
were accordingly measured, and the
result was that the shaving bill was
increased to f73. 8s. Sd. 7

spurgeon tells the following story !;
"a poor man, who had large family,
gave them very comfortable support
while he was in health. He broke his
leg, and was laid up for some time des-
titute Of the means of grace, and II was
proposed to hold prayer meeting at
his house. The meeting was lead by
Deacon Brown. A loud knock at the
door interrupted the service, A tall,
lank, blue-frocked youngster stood at
the door, with an OK goad in his hand,
and asked to see Deacon Brown. "Fa-
ther could not attend this meeting"
he said, "but he sent his prayers, and
they are out in the cart" They were
brought in, in the shape Of potatoes,
beef, pork and corn. The meeting
broke up without benediction.

AN ODE TO JUNE.

w" -
The rose a-bloom.
And sweet woodbine.
Distil perfume
In warm sunshine;
The moths brown wing,
The meadows over,
Hangs balancing
Above tho clover.
The willow throws
A shadow cool,
The lily blows
Upon the pool,
The cherry falls,
The pear grows mellow,
The robin calls
Unto his fellow
The milestone rings
A music blythe;
The mower swings
The sharpened scythe,
Yet oft arrests
The sharp scythe'sswinging,
To spare his nest
For tn lark's sweet singing.
ihe bieeit mdsA" ttanuH
Like Indian girl,
With taper hands,
And teeth Of pearl,
Her head bent low,
Her tangled tresses
OF silk a-how
To the winds caressos
The rye is white,
The wheat Il gold,
All silver-bright
The clouds light fold,
The runnel parts
The rosy mallows,
The sun-fsh darts
Across the shadows.
With such delight
The long days swoon
You guess Alright
'Tis generous June,
With all the best
N OF life and pleasure
Heaped up, and pressed
Down, in her measure.

THE WEEKLY sun.
g sTs NEW YORK.


Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. 1t is also the year in which
an Opposition House of Repre- sentatives, the
first since the war, will be in power at
Warrington and the year of the twenty
third election OF President OF the United
States All of these events are sure to be of
great interest and Importance, especially
the latter; and all OF them and everything
connected with them will H fully and fresh
ly reported in The Sun.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking mp the line OF inquiry opened years
ago by The Sun. will sternly and diligently
investigate the cOrruptiOns and lLjsdeeds Of
Grants administration and will, it is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for q new and
better period in our national history. Of all
this TIE Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing it's readers
with early and trustworthy information
upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it. will be memo
rablc as deciding upon Grants aspirations
for third term of power and plUnder. and
still more as deciding who shall he the
candidate of the party Of Reform, aud as
electng that candidate. Concerning all these
suhiccts, those who read Tue SCN will have
the constant means OF being thoroughly we'll
informed.
The WEEKLY Sun, which has attained q
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
