The War.

/
The news during the past week
was pretty much from one side
reaching W., either directly or in
directly, from Turkish sources
and through Turkish media
One-sided news in war times is
not always reliable, as was clear
ily demonstrated in the recent at
fairs of our own country. We
hear of fierce battles, in which
the Russians loss amounted tC
thousands, but scarce word as to
/ the losses on the part of the Turks
nor even the intimation that they
sustained any losses at all. The
reports came day after day of bat
ties here or there; the Russians
repuIsed-driven back, or routed
with great slaughter, terrible
slau ghter," and the like; four
thousand killed here; great mum
Der killed there; but watch the
reports closely as you will, you
do not ascertain whether in all
this fighting and all these losses
on the part Of the Russians, a
single Turk was either killed or
wounded All this is even more
than suspicious.
One day we had the report of
the retreating of the Russians
from Kars; the next day it was
contradicted; then, again, on the
very next day, it was positively
reaffrmed-the news all coming
Ella Constantinople. Such has
been the unreliable and contra
dictory character of the reports,
that we do not pretend to know
what really occurred during the
past week in regard to the war,
fufther than chat there was proba-
bly, some hard fighting in Asia,
and that the Russians continued
to send men and munitions of
war across the Danube in consid.
cradle numbers, and the probabili-
ties are that very soon some de-
cisive engagements may occur
there. Meanwhile the Turkish
provinces in Europe give very
clear indications Of intention eth.
err to aid the Russians direct or to
declare their independence, and
then co operate With them. Who
ever gives the subject close and
impartial attention will not be
slow to discover that complications
increase, and diplomatic affairs
become more and more entangled.

STEWARDS HOTEL FOR WOMEN
The head of the house of A. T. Stewart
& Co. said to us yesterday: "Some
are under the impression that the work
on our WOman's Hotel has been sus-
pended, but that is a mistake. We
keep the doors and windows boarded up
because we do not care to have the
hundreds of wOrkmen who are engaged
in finishing the interior intruded upon
and interrupted. The work goes stead
lily on, and we hope to open the doors
before the close of this year. 1t will be
as fine and as commodious and as COM
Portable as any hotel in this city-as
any in the world. There will be accom-
modations, rooms, and suites, at prices
to suit all guests, from working girls
with small wages to salesWomen, fore
women, and women also engaged in lit
erature and art. None will be excluded
who are willing to comply with the
rules of the hotel, which will be similar
to the rules and regulations of all first
class hotels. We have already ordered
the furniture, and, indeed, $50 suites are
already completed and stored in our I'D.
town house. There are 400 suites in the
hands of the manufacturers. There
will be ample parlors and reception.
rooms, and large restaurant, where
meals can be had at various prices
Meals will also be served in rooms, JUS
the same as in any other hotel, to thos,
who wish to pay for them. ."-NelU Yorl

The Editors Valentine.

We have already received our valen-
tine for this year. 1t is not very pretty
one, but what it lacks in beauty is made
up in mastery coloring and skillful
handling. The title is "a Newspaper
NJ an" and represents dropsical-headed
chap with a CrOnin nose, a green coat,
and red pair of trousers, going through
a piece of ten-cent muslin with formid-
able pair of shears. You may have no.
ticed that all editors wear green coats
and red pantaloOns. A quill inserted
behind a comprehensive ear exhibits
much feeling, and is unlike anything
found in medieval art. Very much un-
like it. The color in the nose is laid on
with reckless lavishness and a brush,
and doesn't suggest the Goittesque style
of painting to any appreciable extent.
The abbreviated cOat-ta are remarka-
BILE for breadth of effect and absence OF
feeling, and are painted in a rather low
tone. The pose of the figure is easy and
graceful, as is natural with editors.
The delicate moulding of ihe feet re-
minds one more of pair of gunboats
than the early Christian frescoes. They
appear to cover the whole grOund-oI
perhaps we should say the whole floor.

WOMAN's DRESS AND HER DISEASES.
In an address before the Pennsylvania
Medical Society, the president, DR..
AtIee, drew attention to the bad effects
of the change wrought by absurd fash
ion in the habits and dress of women.
He held that in proportion as women
have departed from simplicity, in that
same proportion have their infirmities
increased. The confined waist and
weighty dress of women were merci-
lessly ridculed. Fashionable women
were compared to pea-fowls strutting
the streets and taking a scavenger-like
promenade, gathering filth and exhaust
ing strength. The pernieious effect of
the fashionable shoe was explained.
Nature intended for the heel and sole to
be on level, but fashion raises the heel
two inches above this level. Woman is
thus walking down bill, and, as far as
health is concerned, may be said to be
going down hill all the time. The FASH
ionable woman is burlesque and car
feature on nature.

The Baptist and Methodist ministers
of New York, in their weekly meetings,
are still wrestling with the question of
woman's right to preach. The rock
against which all the surging waves of
debate dash and break, is that old,
"women must keep silence in the
church" Strange that the words of a
man who manifestly had no just con-
ception of woman's nature - words
dropped two thousand years ago, and,
possibly, in a moment of vexation-
should be of more weight than all the
dictates of common sense, and all the
best fruits of experience, in this latest
and most enlightened age! If anything

AS A WOMAN SEES IT.

To TIE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST
The Advocate, in a recent number,
speaking of women preaching, says {:
"While we confesswe have never found
satisfactory evidence of absolute pro-
hibition in the Scriptures, yet we are
far from having a clear judgment that
licensing women and regularly placing
them in the pastorate will better the
present custom or add to woman's use
fulness.u
Does licensing men and placing them
in the pastorate and giving them fat
salaries advance the cause of our blessed
Redeemer, who went about doing good,
and "who left the glory behind with the
Father to save fallen humanity? Or
does it not rather engender and perpetu-
ate party strifes, heresies, jealOusies,
hatred, murders, and almost everything
else that does not become saints? Many
of the ministers of to-day are building
up their particular organization, instead
of preaching the "Word" as they are
commanded to do. They are like the
Pharisees of old; they take away the
key of knowledge of the kingdom of
God and substitute the traditions and
ordinances of men, teaching them for
doctrine instead of the word of God.
They are giving the people to drink
from the cup filled with all manner OF
denominations spoken of by John the
revelator instead of teaching the word
of God, and learning to rightly divide
that "Word."
Farther on he says: awe want wom-
en- to preach without license"
Now, Mrs. Editor, that is just what
we want men and women both to do
preach as they only can, through all the
graces and virtues and talent that God
has given them; preach the truth as il
is in Christ Jesus, having a firm reli-
anee on God to help them, not being
bound by any mans opinion, nor by the
edicts of any set of men. Do you sup
pose the men and women who were
members of the church of jerusalem
waited to be licensed according to any
of the modes in use by the various
churches at the present time before
"they went everywhere preaching the
word' when "they were scattered
abroad" by the persecution of Saul?
think not; nor did Pricilla when she
taught Apolls the way of the Lore
more perfectly. Nor did Apolls put OF
a pompous air, like l saw minister dc
once, and tell her that he did not believe
in women aspiring to be teachers; theil
place was to listen in silence. There were
several other women who preached anC
labored in the Apostles time without
license.
If it were not necessary then for per
sons to have license to preach "thC
things concerning the kingdom of Goo
and the name of Jesus Christ" neither
is it noaO, and all the edicts of popes
cardinals, bishops, priests, and council!
will not make it necessary.
The Lord has gone into "far coun
try" to "receive for Himself kingdom
and return" meanwhile he has giver
to his servants talents to occupy till HI
comes again, and it is for US to say
whether we will add to our talents o.
hide what we have in the earth, to b.
dug out at the Lords coming ant
handed back to Him without gain.
Yours for the purity of the Gospel
and consequently the liberation of WON
