The Russian army on the Danube is

"Ihe Sultan is nonentity, with 300

well mounted.

FROM EAST PORTLAND.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST
East Portland is neither dead "nOr yet
sleeping" On the evening of the 3Oth
of May there was held at Odd Fellows
Hall in this place a strawberry and ice
cream festival, "the like of which never
was seen before" 1t was gotten up by
the ladies for the benefit of Mount Hood
Hook and Ladder Company, and it was
success in every particular. The
beauty of the whole thing is that no
man or set of men can claim any credit
for it all. The members of the company
had made two attempts to raise the cash
by giving parties, and with a moderate
degree of success; but when the ladies
counted their cash this evening, they
found that they had S125 25 net, almost
or quite as much as the gentlemen had
been able to realize at their t,Co at
tempts.
L want to tell you about how good the
boys felt when they got hold of the
money, but must first tell you who were
the main workers In bringing about this
great success. Well, there was Mrs. C.
B. Bartel, Mrs. I. n. Sanders, Mrs. J.
Prondfit, Mrs. u. S. Gordon, Mrs. w.
w. Knott, and Misses Annie Bartel and
Carrie Pope, who 1 am told were most
active and determined in the enterprise,
devoting almost an entire week in prep
arations. And oh how nicely they
had the hall decorated on the evening
of the festival. Flags and evergreens,
and flowers and flags, and flags and flow
ers again. They were assisted, 1 am
told, in the decoration by Mr.. G. B. Bar
tel, and are indebted to the captains of
the "Alden Besse" and "MOuntain
LAUREL" good ships now in port, for the
bunting. Well, it went off nicely, and
I enjoyed the first two or three treats
that the boys gave me "hugely," but
berries and ice cream as long as could,
for the ladies wanted to ''sell 'em," you
see.
Now for the best part of it: On this
evening the ladies went to the Council
Chamber for the purpose of turning over
the cash and just did what they had not
xpected-captured the whole company
and enlisted them each and every one
on the spot for equal rights! Just read
this one, among several resolutions that
were there and then unanimously passed
by "the boys" and see if you can't
preach little sermon from it:
ResoLUed, That we unhesitatingIy de-
clare our determination to rally to the
support of wOmau's rights "at the first
alarm of the bell.n
Now, Mrs. Editor, if you don't say
something good from this text, won't
let John take your paper any longer.

The steamship "City of San Fran
cisco" struck sunken rock off the coast
of Mexico and was wrecked about the
Goth ult. No lives lost. Many of the
passengers lost large sums of money.
The theory prevalent among naval Off
GERS is that there had been a submarine
upheaval at the time of the recent earth
quake. The wrecked ship was sailing
on regular course, and, as stated, Cap
tain Waddell bad frequently sailed over
the spot where she struck. 1t was a
perfectly bright, elear day, and only a
few minutes before the ship struck the
Captain had made his log entries, so
that there could have baen no possible
mistake about his position.

WAR RECORDS,

The records of war, red with the blood
of thousands of hapless human beings,
and laden with the agonized cries of
manned men and sorely-stricken wom-
en-, come to us upon the wings of light
ming across continent, ocean, and con-
tinent again, sending shudders of hor-
ror through all of our veins. War with
all Of its 'devlish enginery" trained to
devastate and destroy, directed by the
ingenuity of men and waged forward by
their passions, has reared his CORY front,
and civilization,apparently undismayed,
looks squarely in his hideous face and
comments with serenity upon the ruin
and devastation and suffering that COM
pose his ghastly train. Who can un-
derstand or explain the strange delusion
that so blunts the finer feelings Of hu-
manity as to enable men and women to
read with eagerness of fearful scenes of
carnage? Musing upon this phase of
human nature, Coleridge says:
Boys and girls
And women that would groan TO see child
Pull offa insects leg, all read Of war,
The best amusement tor our morning meal.
AS if the soldier died without a wound;
AS if the ibres Of this GOd-like form
Were gored without pang; as If the wretch
Who fell in battle doing bloody deeds
Passed OFF to heaven, translated and not killed.
As though he had no wife to pine for him,
No God to judge him !"

LETTER FROM GALIoE CREEK.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
AS feel deeply interested in the great
cause for which you are battling so
hard, feel it my duty as well as a great
pleasure to offer something to encour-
age you on your way.
When reading sketches of the letter
from Jacksonville, and the low, cow
ardly advantage the man Of man he
might be called took of his loving wife
in taking out her letters, reading them,
and answering to suit himself without
her knowledge, and then putting her in
front to stem the current and explain
the dilemma in which they had fallen,
my cheek tinged with shame to think
that one of my sex, born of a mother,
nurtured, loved and cherished by a
mother, should allow his narrow gauge,
pent up orthodox ideas to be pinched in
by the castings of such blind prejudice.
But until women stand on an equal
footing, free and independent beside
their fathers, husbands, sons and broth
ers, then, and not till then, will they
assert their liberty and not be made to
crouch beneath the tyranny of those
they well know to be their interiors.
AS write call to my mind an in
stance of a man that has long been in
this section, with no ambition or aspira-
tions beyond sufficient food and limited
clothing. But as fortune favored him,
and accidental circumstances drifted
him into the society of women, he made
the acquaintance, courted and welded a
lady of some business talent. His mar
ried life has been but short, but how
marked the change; he now comes to
the front and is looked upon as a man
of business, and useful and good citi-
zen. And yet the main drive-wheel
that has brought about this great change
and keeps the machinery of business in
motion stands in the background, and
is only known to the outside world as
! Mrs. -
And so it is in many cases that hus-
bands are buoyed up by their wives,
and held to an honorable position in
society and among their fellow men.
But when they lose that loved eompan-
ion aud her kind counsel, they grad.
ually sink to the lower grade of society
as naturally as water will seek its level.
We often, if not always, find these same
individuals opposed to Woman Suf-
frage.
When Napoleon forsook the Empress
Josephine, from that time his decline
appears to have commenced, and vel
history tells US that after he had for.
saken her and thereby outraged bel
feelings, he often went to her for coun.

But the time is approaching and peo.
pie are beginning to think for them.

And now may God help on the cause
And sound the gladening note,
When legislatures change the laws
And let the women vote.

From Samuel a. Walker, Esq, the we'll l-knOwn

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitOme of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of crculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it 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 comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in COLI
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. RoweIl & 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
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426

Linn county is famous for temperance
picnics this year. One was held on the

which there was large turnout, nearly
all present signing the total abstinence
pledge. There will be one on the 10Th

ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

We congratulate our friends at La
Graude upon having so just, fearless
and able an advocate of intelligent suf-
frage in their midst as the Mountain
Sentinel has lately proved itself. The
editor of that journal concludes au arti-
Gle upon the Suffrage question" in a
recent issue with the following words:
Could intelligence, regardless of sex or color,
be made by wise delegation the standard, we
have no doubt wise and beneficial changes
would soon be inaugurated that would re-
dound to the honor of our nation. Can that
intelligent person be found who dares assert
that the noble-hearted, clear-headed women
of America are not far more capable Of exer-
cising the elective franchise wisely than many
who now, on account of gender, are endowed
with that privilege?
We know that during the darkness OF the
past the potent words of that old fossil, Paul,
have been rigidly adhered to and frequently
quoted by man. Not because they revered
Paul, but because his utterances suited their
case. But we rejoice in the belief that we are
fast drifting out into broader sunlight, and
that the time is not far distant when intelli-
gence will command high premium in the
worlds market, and will be crowned with
garland of everlasting honor.
Thus one by one the intelligent men
of our times find courage to voice their
convictions in favor of intelligent suf-
frage, and as the years roll on the ban
ners of oppression and injustice will be
left dropping in the hands of old-fOgy-
ism-too weak to bear them aloft.
We hope to receive details of grand
rally of the suffragists of La Grande,
which took place on the 18th inst, in
time for our next issue.
