FOREIGN NEWS.

Russian losses before Kars are very
heavy.
Turkey, as precautionary measure,
has decided to occupy the principal po-
sitions in Servia.
Portugal has proclaimed her neutral
ity in the Russo-Turkish war. Germany
will not issue special proclamation of
of neutrality.
The ommander-in-chiefo of the Otto
man army has decreed that every ROu-
manian soldier taken prisoner shall be
put TO death.
Mukhtar Pasha has received rein
forcement of twenty-four battalions and
two batteries. He intends sending sue
cor to Kars from along the whole line.
Prince Gortschaff disavows any wish
on the part of Russia to take possession
of Constantinople, and declares that the
city ought to belong to none of the Eu-
ropean powers.
Intelligence received at Constantine
pie represents that the position of the
Turkish army in Asia has improved,
and that the Turks are preparing to as
sumo the offensive.
The Turkish column, advancing
through Wassojevitch district, makes
slow progress, and has not yet reached
Kolaschin. 1t destroys all villages
within reach, but has thus far not en-
tered the mOurtain country.
Sisters of Mercy, large number of
whom recently arrived, are constantly
visiting the camps and various hospi-
tails, from which it is thought there are
many sick, though the Russians do
their utmost to prevent the obtaining
of information on the subject.
Private letters from the Danube state
that the Russians are extremely busy
constructing bridges and repairing roads
so as to secure the utmost facility of
movement when the decisive moment
arrives. A fieldtelegraph now connects
the headquarters of all Russian corps
with those of Grand Duke Nicholas.

CLOSE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

To-day the public schools of Portland
close for the annual vacation. Teachers
aud pupils will alike rejoice at the pros
pect of freedom from books aud school
duties during the next two months
That these schools are the pride and
boast not only of this city, but of the
State, will not be wondered at after a
tour through their various departments.
Order, method, precision, and diligence
prevail in every room.
We had the pleasure of visiting for a
short time the fourth grade of the Cen
trail School, under the supervision of
Miss Kate Dwyer, on Monday afternoon,
and found from forty to fifty bright-eyed
and anxious pupils busy over the semi
annual examination in practical
Arithmetic" A momentary suspension
of the busy pencil, upon which just
now so much depended, a quick glance
at the visitor, and click, click, the pen
ellis were again at work, ready expo
nents of the active brains that so anx-
iously propelled them. The number OF
pupils in this room is fifty, the average
age ten, and as the quiet teacher moved
among them, scanning states and max
ing up their standing, We sat in silent
admiration of her wonderful skill and
power, mentally resolving that the
time but few decades ago, when schoo
ma'ams were a myth, should be tackled
on to the period known as the "darB
ages"
Professor King, indefatigable, faith
ful, and prompt, has been in his ele
ment during the past ten days, moving
through the various departments in {
manner suggestive of ubiquity, Will,
the entire corps of teachers have worked
with a zeal and earnestness that ha,
meant promotion for their pupils. On,
or two of the most valued teachers hav,
decided upon respite from school du
ties during the whole of the next year
and the Board, ever watchful for the in
terests of the schools, are casting abou
them for suitable persons to fill the va
cant places.
The increasing number of pupils will
necessitate the employment of addi
tional teachers, and the extension an,
improvement of at least portion of th
buildings. These arrangements will al
be completed during the summer vaca
ton, so that when the soft air of Sep
tember bears to the ears of teachers an
pupils the sounds that usher in the ne1
school year, everything will be in read
iness to receive them, and assist then
in the laudable avocation OF impartin
knowledge, and the equally laudabI
desire of obtaining it.

$50 He TELLS Me-

A woman writing to the Farmer from
Umatills, who gets the knowledge from
"her husband at home" and insists on
all other women doing likewise, dis
plays such shocking ignorance and
makes such ludicrous blunders about
plain matters that we're discouraged
from attempting to gain knowledge
from such a source, even if we had an
expectant lord at home impatiently
waiting to instruct US. Hear her and
thank your stars that there is at least
one couple well mated, even if both are
simpletons:
As for woman's rights, I think the Holy BIZ
BILE teaches us our rights. 1t tells us to learn
Of our husbands at home. And, again, "Wives,
obey gour husbands" II
the time should ever come, and God forbid it
should, that women will be allowed to go TO
the polls and vote. the men had best take care
Of themselves, or their equals will crack them
over the head with the broomstick.
Evidently all that saves one poor hus-
bands Uranium from violent contact
with the broomstick is that his spouse
cannot gain his consent to the fami y dis
cipline. We advise him to keep so un-
ruly a creature in subsection by all
means. A ballot in her hands would
break his head, sure.

HONOR Us WITH TRUTH.

A brilliant woman once said that "the
only reason why she wished to be man
was because people would then speak
honestly to her; they would cease to
flatter her, and she could then learn by
her failures as men did" This is GER
tainly 'a consummation devoutly to be
wished" for one of the greatest obsta-
cles in the way of woman's advance
ment to-day is the dishonesty with
which men speak of her efforts. Not
that this is all by way of indiscrimin-
ate praise; bless you, no, for censure,
just as unjust and indiscriminate, is as
often accorded to wOman's work, If,
perehanee, she independently decides to
follow an avocation of her own choos-
ing, regardless of sphere lines and GUS
tom eXactiOns. Women must first learn
to bear the truth concerning their ac-
tiOns, and then men must learn to tell
the truth relative to the same, divested
of obsequious fiattery or severe censure.
Nothing is really either praiseworthy
or censurable, simply because a woman
does it. Yet the average man seems to
think it incumbent upon him because
of his sex, either to speak of woman's
efforts-when these extend beyond the
atmosphere of home-with fulsome fiat
terry if he happens to be kindly disposed
toward the woman movement, with, il
he opposes it, unbridled censure, inev-
itably Juggling in something in the first
case about her ''angelic' attributes, and
in the second something about her alb
normal proclivities, hinging everything
upon her seT. To all such, we again re-
peat the words of Elizabeth Barrett
Browning:
" Deal with US nObly, women though we be,
And honor us with truth, If not with praise -

EARLY DAYS LIVED OVER AGAIN.

Those who journeyed in the early,
early days toward the setting sun,
sturdily resolving "to make them a
home in its light" met in genial re-
union at the State Fair Grounds last
week, and as the GLOWING camp-fires,
with rude humor," revealed each to the
other, the days that are past were
marched in review before their chill
dren's children, who listened to tales of
pioneer life almost as little ones listen
to tales of fairy land. How the amused
laugh went round, as the primitive
cabin walls of ye olden time were
painted by the memory of the silver
haired matron, who spent within them
the earlier years of her bright young
womanhood, and how gIances of merri-
ment and incredulity were exchanged,
as the limited stock of household uten-
sils were counted over.
These are the pleasing pictures painted
by our pioneers for the amusement of
posterity, but they are often supple
mented by tales of Indian depredations
and cruelties, to which the bravest
listen with "shuddering horror pale,
and eyes aghast." Oregon has had her
chapter of these horrors, as the silent
caflons of Rogue River Valley could
testify, could they but find a tongue.
Washington Territory has had hers, as
broken ruins of block-houses witness.
Idaho is now in the terror of the first
alarm of hers, and fleeing families there
recite the too familiar tale of savage
atrocities upon the border.
All hail to the noble pioneers! And
as the years go by and each one chroni-
cles the last words and bears to the last
resting-place the forms that once in
stinct with life and ambition and enter
prise, braved the dangers and endured
the hardships of border life, with oul
lingering farewells is mingled gratitude
and honor and reverence.

INDIAN OUTBREAK IN IDAHO.

News of an Indian outbreak in Idaho
has burst with horrible suddenness and
sickening detail over the country, strik-
ing terror to many hearts. A dispatch
giving the first news, which was re-
garded as scarcely more than rumor,
was received in this city on Saturday
evening, asking for a steamer to convey
troops from WallUla to Lewiston, and
reporting the murder of settler near
Mount Idaho, and the wounding of his
wife. The steamer "Almota" was dis
patched with all available troops, and
on her return from Lewiston brought
news of a startling character. A num-
ber of settlers, men, women, and chill
dren, aggregating, so far as known at
this time, about twenty-nine, had been
killed and number of houses burned.
A military force of one hundred men,
twenty friendly Indians, and several cit
izens left the Lapwai garrison on Fri
day evening for Mount Idaho, under
command of Colonel Perry. An engage
ment occurred, in which it is said that
Colonel Perry and half of his command
were killed, leaving the remainder of
the troops surrounded by Indians in a
cafion, and fighting against great odds.
This story may or may not be exagger-
ated, but sufficient is known to render
the tale of the outbreak and violence to
settlers certain. Mount Idaho is about
sixty-six miles southeast of Lewiston,
and, as may be supposed, the excite
ment at the latter place is intense. The
mayor of this city has been called upon
to furnish arms to the citizens of Lewis
ton, as they are poorly prepared for de-
fense. The Indians thus far engaged in
this murderous assault are portions oi
the NeZ Perce tribe, which have so faI
steadily refused to remain upon the res
ervations in accordance with treaty stip-
ulations, but have long rendered them
selves the pest and terror of settlers by
their rowing habits and threatening atti.
tude. The settlers are rapidly cOncentrat,
ing at different points for mutual protec
ton, leaving their growing crops, home!
and stock at the mercy of the savages
All of heavailable troops will be ordered
to the scene of devastation and slaughtel
without delay, and it is hoped their ex
pedition will prevent further massacre
of the defenseless settlers. When W.
contemplate the repeated horrors tina
have beeu perpetrated upon pioneer set
tiers on this continent from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, we are almost ready
to advocate determination, as the only
safe and permanent treaty that can b.
concluded with treachery.

Mrs. Hannah Anthony MOsher, of
Rochester, New York, sister of Susan B.
Anthony, died recently in that city of
consumption. This event had been for
some time anticipated, as Mrs. Mosher's
steadily failing health had too surely
indicated the final result. 1t was TO at
tend the bedside of this sister that Miss
Anthony felt compelled to cancel her
lecture engagements through the month
of April. Mrs. Mosher was, like her
sister, an earnest friend and advocate of
woman's emancipation, but home du-
ties had largely engrossed her time, and
her influence had been principally felt
in the social circle. She showed, how
ever, her thorough independence of
character and loyalty to the demands of
Justice by voting at the Presidential
election in 1872, with others; for which
act Susan B. Anthony was arrested and
tried by the United States government.

A sample of the opinions and exhor-
tatiOns to women, concerning their sup
posed rights, privileges and "sphere,"
is found in the following contradictory
paragraph, which appears in the same
article in the Denver Tribune:
When the women of the country, as a whole,
ask for the ballot, then there is no doubt but
what men must grant the request, and they
will do it cheerlulIy. o g II Woman Suf-
frage is to come, let it come from mans call,
not from woman's clamOr
Thus we are told that when women
ask for the ballot they shall have it,
and in almost the same breath they are
admonished not to make the request.
Just what would be the nature of the
dire catastrophe that would ensue should
this admonition be disregarded, we are
cruelty left to conjecture.

LET Us SEE WHAT INFLUENCE"
WILL DO,

The summers campaign in Colorado
will afford a capital chance to decide
whether woman's influence is a myth,
or the potent thing that it is claimed to
be. "Woman's influence is all power
full" they tell US, and thongh we are
skeptical on this point, and believe her
votes would accomplish much more,
still, as her votes are not at present
available, and her "infuence" is sup
posed to be ubiquitous, we must depend
upon the latter. We are told that if the
women, instead of the men of Colorado,
were to decide the question of Woman
Suffrage by the ballot this fall, that it
would undoubtedly prevail in that State;
but as men alone are the arbiters of
woman's political status and destiny,
the desired goal must be reached through
them.
So, women of Colorado, now is your
golden opportunity to prove the strength
of your influence. 1t is in your power
to get this question before the voters of
your State upon its merits. There is
said to be larger proportion of men in
your State who are willing to give the
experiment of Woman Suffrage fair
trial than are to be found in older COM
munities where men live and die for
generations where their fathers have
lived and died. In your newspapers
you have valuable auxiliaries, and their
Outspoken voice is glad prophecy of
triumph in the coming contest. Use
every eudeavor to circulate them so that
no man in all your State who can read
will 60 to the polls in October without
having read and had time to digest the
reasons so many and so cogent that are
from week to week advanced in advo-
cacy of impartial suffrage. Hold up the
hands and strengthen the hearts of the
women lecturers who will labor for you
during the coming three months. Do
this by attending and inducing voters
who may be within reach of your "in-
huence" to attend, and if they go away
unconvineed, induce them to attend
again, and talk of the matter at home.
Do not by your inactivit! have it said
that the women of the lovely Centen-
NAL State are content to remain politi-
cal serfs; content to be minors in law all
of their lives; content to remain in the
catalogue with idiots, paupers, and
criminals, nor make an effort TO place
their names on the lists of freedom. 1
your Influence" is of any avail, let il
stand you in stead now, and liberty anC
Justice will be crowned with new lanrels
