SUPERFLUoUs WOMEN.

Sociologists and essayists thus desig-
nate women who, in the vulgar parlance
of everyday life, are called ''old maids"
and are found here and there in menial
positions in the homes of others, or out
side of them struggling for their own
maintenance. Spoken of with a dash
of refined scorn by the polite; openly
ridiculed by the vulgar; caricatured by
would-be wits; commiserated by frivol-
GUS girls, and envied by neglected wives,
they pursue the even tenor of theirway,
often extracting as much pleasure from
the life given them as though they were
not with almost unanimous voice voted
'superiuous." Are these, indeed, "su-
perfiuous women" who have denied
themselves perhaps the dearest hopes of
womanhOod and struggled on and on in
the path of duty, inverting the order of
nature by acting as mothers to the aged
and infirm, whose failing feet they
gently guide down the sere slopes of
life, and whose withered hands they
fold at last beneath the daisies? Are
they superfiuous who carry cheer and
comfort to friends in sickness and sor-
row? who toll unmindful of the jeers
and taunts of the world for the eleva-
ton and improvement of the human
race? who add constantly pure gems
of truth to the laboratories of science,
literature, and the arts? 1t were easy
comparatively to perform duties, how
ever hazardous or labOrious, when
cheered by appreciation, but to perform
them unfiinchingly while the hot shot
of ridicule and the keen shafts of satire
constantly encompass the pathway, is
a different matter. The lonely, self
sacrificing lives of these women are sell
dom spoken of except to give unkind
point to a jest or add cynical pleasantly
to story, yet they live and work, the
dusty years stretch far behind them,
they become nobodies oftentimes in the
great hustle of the world, and last of all,
are dubbed superfuous by persons who
have never accomplished tithe for the
welfare of others that the "superfuities"
have done. Mrs. Livermore, speaking
on this subject, says:
Let us give TO women such training, phys
ically, industrially, intellectually, and spiritu-
ally, that we shame the word "superiuous" out
OF the vocabulary, as descriptive of women.
And this will help men, and elevate them,
quite as much as any special work which
might be done for them, and thus collective
humanity will be benefited, and higher civ
ilization be promoted for
The woman's cause is mans; they rise or sink

MATRIMONY IMPERILED.

His Honor the Wisconsin Judge who
sought to give women everywhere a
salutary lesson by refusing the applica-
ton of Miss Goodell to practice law in
the Supreme Court of that State, as
sumes, when making his argument from
a social standpoint, that matrimony is
so undesirable a state for woman, that
were she allowed freely to earn an hon
orable and lucrative support in any
other manner, she would never marry.
The argument seems to be that the we'll
being of society requires her to marry,
and she should therefore be forced to do
so by having no other alternative.
Granting this for the sake of the argu-
ment, would it not be better to render
the lot of a married woman more at
tractive by according her fuller rights
therein, and would not women so mar
ried make better wives than those to
whom no other alternative is left {?
What honorable man, possessed of even
ordinary self-respect, would wish to
H1e'4iJ " "Oh0u WIZ "Oulu ueNeT nave
consented to marry him had she been
allowed to follow professional career &?
No; let every honorable employment be
openedas freely to woman as to man; let
her be as independent of matrimony as
a means of support as he is; if then men
cannot induce women to marry them,
let them conclude that the fanlt il thair p
own, and proceed to improve themselves
in every way possible. If this state of
affairs should cause fewer marriages, it
would also result in fewer divorces, for
in marriage, as in other matters, guam
tity is not nearly so desirable as quality.

UNKNOWN AND IMPBOUNIoUS."

Sad words and fraught with dreary
significance at all times; more sad and
dreary when accompanying a notice of
a stranger death and pauper's funeral.
We find ourselves invOluntarily regret
ting the lost possibilities of wasted
life, and plying the man who, after a
lifetime of perhaps half century, is
indebted to charity for shelter in his
last hour, and for the spreading of dust
over the rough casket that hides from
careless gaze the frame over which care
and want and debauchery have no
longer sway. Unknown-but perchance
somewhere in the wide world the loving
heart of mother, wife, or daughter is
waiting ''with that hope deferred which
maketh the heart sick" for tidings of
one whom she had watched over in
childhood, loved in early manhood, or
regarded with filial devotion in middle
life. Impecunious-but that does not
matter now, for with life's fitful fever
its needs expired. The story of wasted
life could not be more ftly-scarceIy
more comprehensively-told in a vol
ume than it is told in these words. So
in pity of its disappointments, aud with
sorrow for its frailties, for the sake of
her who Graded his head upon her
bosom In infancy, grieved over the fol-
lies of his youth, and perhaps even now
weeps over his blighted manhood, bear
him gently from the shelter provided by
tine charity of his fellowmen to the OBJ
scure corner of the church-yard where
the last couch of the unknown and i'm
pecunious" is made, and may the clods
of the valley lie lightly upon his breast.

bright and beautiful number, closing
the fifty-second volume of this popular
periodical. Of course, the supreme fea-
-ture of the magazine is George Eliot's
"Daniel Deronda," of which an entire

this brilliant novel does not interfere

PIONEER REUNION.

The annual reunion of the Pioneer
Association will take place at the State
Fair Grounds, beginning June 18th, and
continuing two days. The programme
is unusually interesting, comprising,
among other things, an address by Mrs.
]. E. Dawne, a poem by Captain o. c.
Applegate, dancing in the pavilion,
picnic dinners, etc., etc. The Secretary
of the Association says in reference to
the matter:
The prospect OF the next reunions being a
a grand success is very hattering, and quite
number of the early settlers of Oregon and
the adjacent territories are enrolling them
selves as members
1t is expected that there will be a large turn
out at the Centennial celebration to be held in
Portland during the week of celebration.
The Association is now having maze a mag
nifcent banner, with appropriate devices by
the artistic hand of Col. C. A. Reed, which will
be as fine banner as can be found on the
coast.
1t is hoped that all early settlers of the Terri
tory of Oregon will be present at the next re-
union, as the celebration will continue for
two days, and every facility will we extended
for enjoyment of both old and young, and
prove a happy reunion.

LETTER FROM OOLFAX.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
am pleased to notice what consider
not only step, but long step, in the
right direction in Oregon. 1 refer to
the resolution urging women to attend
the primaries. 1t has long been desire
with me to attend them. I remember
with what look of horror my husband
first heard me express wish to attend
one. "Don't think of such thing"
said he; "why, it is not fit place for a
my desire to attend and know some
thing about the way the political ma
chinery was run, was prompted by Curl
Osity. But new charm is added, for I
have in my charge a couple of future
voters, who have been given me to be
moulded into useful and honorable
members of society; and here, right on
the threshold of life's work, they were
to come in contact with the demoraliz-
ing influences of the primaries. How
was L to know that my sons would be
able to resist these communicating infiu-
ences as their father had done? Judge
for yourself my concern.
Of my boys, one has passed into the
sacred precincts of the primaries three
years ago; the other is nearly ready to
follow, while their mother still stands
without, not daring to enter, lest she be
contaminated. 1 have not the courage
to go alone; but if I was in Oregon this
spring, and could have company, 1
would undoubtedly attend.
Sometimes, however, 1 get discouraged
and think the women have too much
train on the brain. 1 cannot rec
oncile the idea in my mind of a
woman going to the polls to vote,
at the same time sweeping the
dirty streets with quantity of heavy
goods. But every one don't see through
my glasses. Talking of glasses, there is
an old lady living here, now in her SD
year, who reads my NEW NORTHWEST
through every week, almost without the
aid of glasses. She thinks it the best
paper she ever read, but says she is too
old to care about voting. L hope the
dear old lady may have the privilege
before she dies, if she does not care to
take advantage of it.
The NEW NORTHWEST [ have taken
ever since the first number was issued,
and intend to do so while its banner is
given to the breeze in the cause of free
dom. Wishing you unbounded success
in the cause in which you are engaged,
1 am yours for equality, w.

TEMPERANCE WORK.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NoRTHw EST:
am pleased to be able to report that
the lodges of I. o. G. T. in this part of
our State are generally in a very pros
porous condition. The one that meets
here is one of the finest that it has been
my good fortune to visit. The attend
ance is quite large, and the interest in
the literary exercises, conducted under
the management of the Lodge, is good
indeed.
At Phoenix I addressed large and
and attentive audience, and, after the
lecture, seven of the best citizens made
petition to become members of the
Lodge there.
Last night, with the aid of State
Deputy Rev. J. s. Mccain, succeeded
in again planting the standard of our
Order in Jacksonville. Alpha No.
was established there nearly eleven
years ago, but years since ceased to
work for the reclamation of the citizens
from intemperate habits, and has been
numbered with the lodges that WERE
But, thanks to the devotion of some old
veterans and few new recruits who
are determined in this matter, we have
another band that bids fair to do effect
i've service in battling the rum demon.
F. Kassafer is w. G.. 7. of the new
Lodge, with Elva E. Mccain w. V. T.,
Dora L. Cardwell P. w. c. T., and
John Dollarhide L. D.
At Canyonville 1 found Brother E..
W. Dixon, DIR. Whittemore, and host
of others making the influence of the
Order felt in that locality.
Stage comes, and l must close.
Yours fraternally.

RECENT EVENTS.

Cardinal McClosky is very i'll and NO
one is permitted to see him.
The House committee on Indian af-
fairs will report favorably on Lanes
bill to remove the Indians from Una
tilla Reservation and open It to settle
ment.
Leavenworth, Kansas, was visited by
storm of wind and rain of unprece-
dented violence on the morning of the
9Th. Much damage to property is re-
ported.
Beecher lectured in New York City
OIL the 5th in aid of the new Soldiers
Home. The house was jammed in
every part. Beecher received a great
welcome. Thirteen thousand seven
hundred dollars was raised in few min
utes.
The Postmaster-G General, at Senator
Mitchell's instance, has declined to ap-
prove the special agents recommends
ton for a reduction of mail service on
routes from Kelton, Utah, to The Dalles,
Oregon, and from Winnemucca to Boise
City.
A terrific tornado, accompanied by a
violent rain storm, visited Chicago on
the afternoon of the 9th, carrying away
church steeples and roofs, and demolish-
ing many dwellings. A number of per-
sons were seriously injured, some of
whom will probably die. The damage
to property is estimated at quarter of
million.
The investigation into the affairs ofthe
Government Insane Asylum at Wash
ington has been in progress for several
weeks. The character of recent testi-
mony is entirely different from that
taken at first, and tends to relieve Mr..
Nichols, the Superintendent, from the
grave charges, and place the manage
ment in favorable light.
The magazine of the Delaware, Lack
awana, and Great Western Railroad, in
Jersey City, exploded on the 9th with
terrific force. A great quantity of giant
powder and glyceriue was stored in the
building for the purpose of blasting the
Bergen tunnel, and it is thought that
the catastrophe is the work of strikers.
1t is estimated that 5000 houses were
damaged by the concussiou. One man
was killed. Loss, $4,000.
Sargents speech on the Chinese ques-
ton has excited much interest in Wash
ington. Congressional sentiment on
the question is awakening under such
efforts and the discussion by the Cali
fornia press. California was slow to ap-
preciate the drawbacks of Chinese i'm
migration, and it is not surprising that
Eastern sentiments respond but slowly
But Sargent's argument and statements
of facts, evidently expressing the GER
tain features of the degrading influence
of Chinese in California, has seemed to
startle the public mind into a more
careful examination and review of the
whole subject. The threatened mob
violence in San Francisco, however,
tends to create a reaction against this
improving sentiment, and aggravate the
difficulty of securing constitutional
| remedy.
