New Years Receptions.

The Washington Republican, of the
Sd inst, comments thus on the recep-
tions given by the wives of our Senators
on New Years day:
Among the many receptions on New
Years day, that of Mrs. Senator ]. H.
Mitchell, of Oregon, deserves special no.
tice. Mrs. Mitchell was assisted by the
beautiful and highly accomplished Mrs.
Foot, widow of the late Major Foot, q.
S. A, in receiving her many friends at
her elegant residence, No. 1907 I street.
Mrs. Mitchell entertained in her usual
hospitable manner, and was dressed in
black velvet, trimmed with point lace,
and she wore splendid diamond orha-
ments. Mrs. Foot wore blue silk,
trimmed with point applique lace, fes-
tooned with pink flowers and coral jew
elry. The spacious parlOrs were densely
packed from noon until late in the
evening with Senators and Representa-
tives, army and navy officers, and pri-
vate citizens. The table, for beauty of
arrangement, good taste and profusion
of choice delicacies, was not excelled by
any in the city.
Mrs. Senator Kelly received at her
pleasant home on K street, aided by her
sister. Mrs. Kelly is acknowledged to
be one of the most delightful and accom-
plished ladies in society, and her sister
proved a valuable auxiliary. The du-
ties of receiving were rendered dOubly
pleasant. The toilettes of both ladies
were models of richness and taste.

THE M'GIBENY FAMILY.

This wonderful family of Oregon song
sters would create greater sensation at
the Centennial than any or all else of
the productions of this State which the
people of Oregon can send to Philadel-
phia for exhibition. We hear talk of r
series Of benefits for the different mem
bers of this singing band, to be given
for the purpose of assisting them to the
Centennial, which We are sure our pub
lic-spirited citizens will respond to with
liberality. The little ones, eight In
number, are musical prodigies, while
Master Hugh and little Allie are abso-
lutely wonderful.
AS Chairman Of the Woman's Execu-
tive Committee for Oregon, we are
deeply interested in showing the world
what one woman of our State can
furnish in the Young American line,
and we know of none more worthy to be
selected as the champion of this i'm
portant department than Mrs. McGib-
eny. We look for grand rally of our
citizens in response to the benefits men,
toned. Let substantial sum be real
lied by the family, that they may visit
the exposition, where a suitable hall
will be erected for their accommoda-
tiOn, wherein they may reap harvest
that will enable the parents to give
their little ones the advantages their
extraordinary talents merit.

PRECEDENT.
them.

The following precedents are in favor
of admitting women to the practice ol
law in the various courts:
In 1869, Mrs. B. A. Mansfield was ad-
mitted to the bar of Iowa under q
statute providing that "any white
male person" with the requisite qualifi-
cations should be licensed to practice
by virtue of statute providing that
"words importing the masculine gender
only, may be extended to females" anG
the court held that "the affirmative
declaration that male persons may be
admitted is not an implied denial to the
right of females" (See Legal -NeoOS,
February 9, 1870.
Missouri, under a statute providing
that 'any person" possessing certain
qualifications may be licensed and ad
mitted to the courss, including the Su'
preme Court of that State, in April, 1870
admitted Miss Barkaloo. (See Legd
NeaOs, April 9, 1870.
Michigan, under a statute using thu
word "citizen," admits women to prac
tice.
Maine, under a similar statute, ad
mitted, in 1872, Mrs. c. H. Nash to the
Supreme Court. (See Legal NelOs
October %, 1922.
In the District of Columbia, Mis-
Charlotte E. Ray was admitted in 1872
on graduating from Harvard University
The Federal District Court of Illinois
has admitted women. (See Legal NeoOs
May %, 1874.
Illinois and Iowa have each recently
made legislative proviso for the admis
sion of women.

SELF-RELIANOB.

Only one of the one hundred and three
women on board was saved.
Sc says the record of a recent ship
wreck, and items of like significance ae-
company the recital of almost every dis
aster that consigns to an ocean grave
a number of human beings.
In view of these facts, no one can dis
pute the far greater dangers which
women encounter in travel than men
do. We see also that the fne-spun the
Ories which men delight to dwell upon
concerning the protection that women
naturally receive from all men, will not
bear the stress imposed by an awful Cd
lamity that threatens human life, but
that here, selfpreservation, which is
natures first law, asserts ITSELF, and
that strongly. The disposition of the
strong to crowd down instead of to shield
the weak, is clearly made manifest in a
panic that ensues when a building con-
tanning a mixed audience is found to be
on fire. 1t is we'll known that by far
the greater number Of persons who per-
ish in these calamities are women and
children. This being the case, girls
should be educated to self-reliance, and
taught that nerve, GOODNESS, physical
endurance, agility, and ability to swim,
etc., would tend to save their lives,
which might be thrown away by a reli-
ance upon the delusive theory of mascu-
line protection.

A Prompt Denial,

The following communication, clipped
from the Salem Mercury, explains itself,
and we submit it without comment:
Editor MerclTy:-In the last issue of
your paper, your Portland correspond
ent, "Casterile," referring to the recent
bankrupt proceedings in the matter of
the Bulletin newspaper, in the United
States District Court, makes the follow
ing utterly false statement, tO-wit:
During the examination of witnesses,
the other day, T. B. Odeneal testified
that he had been paid Sc, 900 to stop the
Bulletin and throw it into bankruptcy,
aud that of this sum, $4,000 came from
Harvey w. Scott, and 5000 from H. L.
is not the least shadow or semblance of
truth in the above statement of your
correspondent, is fact provable by the
Judge of the Court, the jurors, and by
the attorneys on both sides of the case.
Nothing of the sort was testified to by
me. 1 could not so testify, for the
reason that L never received from H.
w. Scott, H. L. Pittock, or from any
other person, $4,000, or any other sum
whatever, to stop the Bulletin and throw
it into bankruptcy. L never received
from H. w. Scott any sum of money for
any purpose connected with the suspen-
sion of the Bulletin. l never received
from Henry l.. PittOck any sum of
money whatever for any purpose. In
fact, had not seen the last-named gen.
tleman for several weeks prior to the
suspension. T. r. ODENEAL.

TRouBLE IN PuBLIo soHooLs.

Considerable indignation has been
created In school circles during the past
week by letter published in the Bee,
over the signature of "Mrs. L." in
which the boys are accused of shame
fully mistreating the girls. Who this
Mrs. L." is, or may be, is no concern
of ours, but we are always safe in affirm
ing that the daughters of a mother who
is so ready at accusing other folks boys
of impertinence, are themselves excess
lively rude, forward, and vulgar.
The NEW NORTHWEST has been pat
ronizing the public schools with both
girls and boys for q number OF
years, and this woman's letter is the
first complaint of the kind which has
ever reached this Office. That boys and
girls, in the heat of fun and frolic, may,
and sometimes do, tease each other with
more registering rudeness than strictest
etiquette would excuse in older people,
is not to be disputed nor wondered at.
But we all very we'll know that girls are
ever ready to hold their own in such
contests, and we further know, that
schoolgirls who are we'll trained by ju-
diciOus mothers, and are, in conse.
quence, modest and genteel in their de.
pertinent, stand in no more danger oi
being teased by school-bOys, than the
well-bred lady encounters when duty oil
pleasure takes her among men. The
mother who is always listening to these
tales from her children, unconsciously
teaches them to gossip; and by fostering
the habit, encourages them in repre-
hensive wantonness that invites rude
treatment from their associates.
We do not say that the grievances Sc
forth by "Mrs. L." are totally withou
foundation, but we do say that it is very
strange that her daughters should b,
the only ones in the city who ar
troubled as she alleges; and that tn
best way to prevent a recurrence of tn,
evils set forth is to keep their trouble
out of the newspapers, and teach then
to so conduct themselves that evel
''hoodlums" will instinctively respec
them

DECISION OF GRAND COMMANDER.

OFFICE OF THE GRAND COMMANDER OF THE0
CHAMPIONS OF THE RED Cross FOR ORE
CON, WASHINGTON AND IDAHO.
Question Can a member of the Order of
c. R. C. be expelled for non-payment of dues :?
His name may be stricken from the
roll-he may cease membership, but,
properly speaking, he cannot be expelled.
The laws of the Order make distinc-
ton between dropping from the roll and
expulsion. A person who has ceased
membership, or been dropped from the
roll for non-payment of dues only, may,
after the lapse of one year, be admitted
to the Order as an Ancient Champion
subject, of course, to the usual restric-
tions-wheress, person who has been
expelled can he readmitted only by be-
ing reinstated by the Encampment ex-
pelling him (see Sec. of Art. of Con-
stitution.) The law, however, requires
Recording Secretaries to make the
same disposition of the names in both
cases (Sec. of Art. 81

squandered or thrown in to support
other enterprises, which, without mis-
management, would have supported
themselves.
1 have written plainly, because the
subject is one that Oregon is deeply in
terested in, and the investigation in
progress here makes it proper that the
situation, as viewed in San Francisco
and by people who arrive here with the
thought of going to Oregon, should be
set forth through the Oregon press. The
subject has reached such a stage that
there is no excuse for minciHg matters.
The discussion should go on until it
rises into demand-and an imperative
demand-that Oregon shall be served
with better line of steamers. San
| Francisco, as the commercial center of
the Pacific Coast, is really interested in
it also, and ought to desire that the
demand shall meet with success.
