LETTER FROM SOUTHERN OREGON.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NoRTHw EST:
Although somewhat secluded from So
ciety in this southern mining district,
we still take deep interest in the work
which your JOURNAL regular visitor to
one of our number-so earnestly advo-
Gates.
Prior to coming here 1 was a resident
of Walla Walla, where had the pleas
ure of hearing Mrs. Duniway lecture
two years since. 1 will not say that I
was then and there converted to the
doctrine she so ably preached, that con-
version having long before taken place,
but subscribed for the NEW NORTH
WEST, and have since read it regularly.
Besides reading the papers myself, 1
have sent them around through the
camp, and have lectured at home to the
old bachelors who abound, until I have
had the pleasure of seeing many of their
prejudices against equal rights vanish,
gradually, it is true, but still vanish.
Here, as elsewhere, am sorry to say
that some of our most bitter and un-
thinking opponents are among members
of our own sex; but then we cannot
wonder that long years of serfdom will
give persons the spirits of slaves. We
must wait, nay, we can afford to wait,
for a gradual change is sure to be perma-
nent.

do all can to give circulation to the

Chicago, December II, 1876.

Senator Mitchell is asked to amend
that portion of his bill for the protection
of salmon in the Columbia River which
relates to the size of seine meshes so as
to allow meshes 81 inches, instead of 81,
as the bill provides. The reason as
signed for this is that if the bill is
passed and goes into immediate effect,
it would result in great pecuniary loss
to proprietors who have their nets pre-
pared for the coming season, the dimen-
sions being as formerly, St inches from

INTOLERANCE,

Bigotry and intolerance, twin sisters
of superstition, go hand in hand through
the world, making proselytes of the ig-
norant, Strengthening bonds of tyranny,
and often by overreaching, defeating
their own ends. When intolerance pur-
sues any object, whether it be of relig-
ious, political, or social character, its
actions, sooner or later, work its own
discontinue. The idea that man may
be possessed of good and noble qualities,
and yet differ materially from ourselves
either in his theological views or his
political opinions is one which all who
would not be slaves to intolerance must
cherish.
We read in an Eastern exchange that
the marble bust of Thomas Paine, sculp-
tured by Sydney H. Morse, and offered
to the city Of Philadelphia to be placed
in Independence Hall, has been refused
place in that historic building. 1t was
designed to perpetuate the services o.
Paine in the cause of American indie.
pendence, and the act of offering it az
above recorded, referred to this solely
and not in any manner to his religious
opinions. We quote from the NelU Ag,
concerning this matter:
All fair-minded people can see that no reason
is to be found in Paines religious opinions
however offensive they might be to any, for re
fnsing to recognize his Revolutionary services
and the bigotry that is so unjust 10 his memor,
now, cannot have been fair to his characte
hitherto. The city which sanctions this refusa
will cover itself with a darker obloquy thai
that il seeks to prevent

Cronin, with his strawberry nose and
mystic envelope, is exciting much COM
ment in the East. The dispatches are
burdened with details of his movements
and the probabilities and possibilities
that will result from his presence in
Washington. Kelly has also arrived at
the Capital and the twain will soon be
reinforced by Grover, when the trio will
probably go into executive session at
once. Whether they will succeed in
making or unmaking President is still
matter of speculation.

A Voice from the Waste Basket.

"The Father of Family" wishes to
know why the editor admitted story
which he is constrained to say is far
from the standard which he cOnceives
the editor of publication of such lofty
pretensions should constantly regard;
and he is sorry to say that he, the par
ent, is considering whether it be not his
duty to decline to receive the work any
longer. This is unquestionably an in
teresting consideration to the parent,
but he should remem Der that editors are
very busy men, and should therefore re-
frain from troubling them with his
mental processes. If the father of a
family would but reflect for a moment,
he would perhaps suspect, what is the
precise truth, that for every letter of re-
proof, an editor receives another of COM
mendation; and if he should undertake
to govern his conduct by them the re-
suit would he pitiful. Indeed, the same
disposition must be made of the didactic
letters as of the Indignant, and they
must be dropped into the liabo of entire
useIessness. What the Individual A
suggests, the individual B ridicules; and
that which arouses the ire of G, rejoices
the heart of D. The editor, therefore, Is
the only person who can intelligently
and properly reply, in the fabled words
of an eminent philanthropist, whose
charitable attention was asked to a
single case of suffering, "I am too busy
with humanity to have time for iudi-
viduals."
The object of this brief discourse is to
save the time of worthy people who are
about committing Indignation TO paper,
or who kindly design to teach somebody
else how to manage his business. The
text is found to be in an editors waste
basket.-Harper'S Magazine.

Misses Angie and Ella Ford, of Salem,
are students in the Medical Institute.
They were born in Oregon and display
in very marked degree adaptability
for the profession they have chosen.
They will doubtless graduate with honor
and spend useful lives in alleviatiug the
sufferings of humanity. One example
of this kind is worth more than thou
sand theories, however sentimentally
expressed, for settling the vexed ques-
tiou of "woman's sphere" and clearly
demonstrates the fact that a wOman's
work is whatever her capabilities lead
her to accomplish or her inclinations
prompt her to pursue.

DEAR SIR:-It may be some satisfaction to
you TO be informed of the result of the trial OF
the PERUVIAN SYRUP in my family. My
daughter was brought low by a typhoid fever
last spring, and after the fever left her she con-
tinued very weak, and the simplest food dis
tressed her. For months she remained in the
same debilitated condition; but from the lst OF
september last, when she commenced taking
the Syrup, the digestive functions improved =,
and she steadily gained strength and vlvacity (;
and now, after taking two bottles, she is re-
stored to a good state of health; indeed, she
appears more really healthy than she has for
several years past 1 am of the opinion that
the "Protoxide Of Iron" contained in the Pc
RUvIAN SYRUP was adapted to her case, and
effected what no other known medicine could
have effected. S. COBB.

The choice of a President of the United

The choice of President of the United
States is no longer dependent upon the
voice of the people, but upon the manip-
ulations and tricks of party managers.
The great drama of self-government
has, during its century performance, as
sumed different phases; reality, comedy
and tragedy, had each their turn and
the whole thing seems now to be near
its close in farce. Monarchy, tricked,
decked and equipped, should now occu-
py the stage for a time, and with iron
will teach the men of America the value
of liberty.

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitome of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of cIrculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent 1t from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers OF the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered TO with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by a comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell Co.
such Information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity OF the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
laith, are attested by the immense body Of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426

over this evening to call on Gov.
