RESULTS OF INHARMoEY.

Albany exchanges dilate at consider
able length upon a scene which took
place in one of the churches in that city
on Sunday of last week, said scene being
caused by mother taking her child
from the custody of its grandparents,
where her husband had placed it. 1t
seems that the young couple, over whom
but very few years of married life had
passed, had determined to separate; the
only difficulty in the way of their re-
turn to single blessedness being a child,
scarcely more than baby. This the
husband had taken from the care of the
mother, and placed in the custody of his
parents. These last took the little one
to church on the day named, and the
mother visiting the same sanctuary,
took her baby upon her knees, held it
for while, and then started with it for
the door, followed closely by the congre-
cation. A fierce scuffle ensued in the
street, but the young mother came of,
for the time, at least, victorious, and at
last accounts still had possession of the
child.
We know nothing of the matter be-
tween the twain who were erewhile one
flesh, or the causes which led to the sep
aration, therefore cannot give an opin-
ion as to who is best entitled to the GUS
tody of this joint property, though
nature would prompt us to say that a
mother who feels as deep an affection
for her offspring as this ones action in
dieates, is better calculated than any
other person to have charge of her OWL
baby. True, we are told that circum-
stances alter cases, but circumstances
that justly force a child in arms tc
fOrego the care and tenderness that gen.
uine mother love ever prompts are Ger.
tainly very rare.
1t were easy in this connection tC
point a moral upon the SORROWS tha
ill-considered marriage so frequently
entail, but it would be work of super
erogation, for young people, despite th'
sad warnings all around them, will con
tinue, when thoughtful elders venture
to advise or admOnish them, to declar
"that it is nobody's business but thei
own" and while persons who are sensi
ble in all other matters continue to b.
stupid or foolish about making matri
monial contracts these troubles will
continue, and as people are in these re
spects pretty much as they always hav
been, only more so, the prospect 70
speedy abatement of such miseries doe
not seem very fiattering. We presume
moreover, that it is much easier an,
more satisfactory to philosophize an
opiniOnize over these matters for other
than it would for ones self.

LETTER FROM JACKSONVILLE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Your article on "Women and Lodge
Feasts" strikes me as so exactly to the
point that 1 cannot refrain from con-
graduating you on your happy faculty
for saying the right thing in the right
place. Your supposition that I, or any
one else, could expect to influence such
orders, or members thereof, to the ex-
tent of granting justice to women, is in
correct. They are like Ephraim of old
Joined to their idols-let them alone.
Even were they ever so thoroughly con-
vinced of the injustice of their land
marks, they dare not acknowledge it.
The only good we can hope to accom-
plish by writing of these things, is to
induce husbands who have not already
taken step they never can retrace, to
look well before they leap. 1t would be
we'll for every young husband who con-
templates joining a society, from which
his wife is excluded, to put himself in
her place lin imagination) and think
how he would like to be treated so. In
that way he can decide whether be is act
ing according to the Golden Rule. To
young women 1 would like to say a
word. If you value your future happi-
ness, find out before it is too late whether
your intended considers you worthy to
be entrusted" with whatever he is,
(that is, if you think so yoursel), or il
be considers it your "sphere" to sit at
home alone while he enjoys delightful
evenings in the lodge-room engaged in
something you must never know any
thing about.
1 should consider myself amply repaid
for these admonitions, could L know
that one couple is thereby spared the es-
arrangement others have suffered from
want of proper forethought.
Ever thine,
JUSTICE.

THINGS NOT UNCERTAIN.

The OregOnidn'S whining exception
to the Standards remark that the for
mer paper is "a little uncertain in poll
tics, and on that account fails to receive
the support of either party" is decid-
edly funny. We should say that our
brother of the Standard drew it very
mild, indeed, when he contented him
self with saying the Oregonidn was a
little uncertain. Those who know the
editor can readily assure those who are
strangers to his motives and character,
that the one thing certain about him is
his enthusiastic admiration of w. Lair
Hill, and his certainty to clutch at any
thing, however disreputable to the party
he assumes at times to champion, that
promises big pay, whether it comes to
him through the law firm of Thompson,
Durham & Hill, or by a more direct
route. Another certain thing is, that
it took just partnership share in S3,-
600 fee to muzzle the paper over which
he presides. So this world is not en-
tirely made up of uncertainties after all.

The Astoriap tells of lady residing
in Oregon City who has in the short
space of two years become the mother
of five children, viz: In March, 1875,
twins; in February, 1876, boy, and in
January, 1877, twins. And yet the
country abounds in moralists and howl
ers who deplore the falling off of popu-
lation from natural and regular increase.
We scarcely see how even our revered
and oft-quoted "grand mothers" could
have eclipsed the above. Indeed, we
think these ancient danes are for the
nonce outdone.

SUFFRAGE PETITIONS IN EASTERN
OREGON.

To THE EDITOR OF THE New NORTHWEST
I received the petitions for circulation
in. due time, for which accept thanks.
The time being very short for work, 1
mailed one to Mrs. E. S. McComas, Un-
ion, one to Mrs. h. ]. Hendershott, of
The Cove, and one to Mrs. NJ. A. Tartar,
of North Powder, with a note requesting
them to canvass their neighborhood
thoroughly for signatures and forward
to Washington Immediately. 1 also
left one in LaGrande with Mrs. Wallace.
She obtained fourteen names. cir
culated one myself through the country
between LaGrande and Summerville,
and succeeded in getting forty-one sign
ers. L only travelled one day, the
weather was so bad. If I could have
had the petitions sooner, so that 1 could
have taken advantage of a good day
when it appeared and canvassed four or
five days, think could have secured a
hundred names. But there was no time
to wait for good weather, so 1 mailed
my petition for Washington December
%, 1876. Mrs. Hendershott wrote me as
follows concerning the petition sent to
her: 81 am sorry to inform you that l

the cause that is of so much interest to
myself and many others of both sexes

the names to Washington by the time
stated. I had business at the store yes

TEXTS THAT ARE DISRBGARDED

OF course all women who have been
privileged (?) to listen to sermons from
texts culled carefully from the epistle Of
st. Paul to the Corinthians, concerning
wifely and womanly duty and submis-
sion, have wondered why these texts
were more binding upon women than
divers and sundry others should be upon
both men and women. Hardening to
the Oft-quoted texts so widely dilated
upon to prove the subjugation of women,
we have often desired to ask the ques-
tion contained in The first verse of the
the third chapter of second Corinthians,
"Do we begin again to commend our
selves, or need we as some others, epis-
ties of commendation to you, or letters
of commendation from your"
Now, if the teachings of Paul to the
local church at Corinth are to be disre-
garded in all respects as a criterion for
people or churches throughout the world
for all time, it is plain that one text
must apply equally with another. Is
not this injunction concerning Phebe as
strong as any other? "Receive her as
becometh saints, and assist her in what
soever business she hath need of you.n
And when we add TO this the words OF
the Master himself, Whatsoever We
would that men should do unto you, do
you even so unto them," we have the
logic and wisdom of the New Testament
on the side of woman, and arrogant
members of Presbyterian Assembly,
and self-styled preachers of the gospel
which forbids partiality, may as well
retire from the contest.
Brethren of the churches of TO- day are
scarcely to be called literal examples o
the Corinthian type, although in some
respects the similitude is apparent
The apostolic injunction, "Let no maj
seek his own, but every man another'i
wealth." is by many conscientiously re
garded, while upon the question of deal
ing impartially with all members may
deserve the apostolic censure, "For this
cause many are weak and sickly among
you, and many Sleep"
Finally, if we are to judge from tn,
position many take upon the rights o
women in the church, the women mem
bers are held in least esteem, and W,
think that every church that denies t.
woman the position of ruler and guide
disobeys a command of the great Apostl,
as binding as any, and this command is
"If then ye have judgment to judge, Sc
them to judge who are least esteemed il

and throughout the State are anxious
that it should be well attended and well

assured. A large number of letters
have been addressed to persons abroad,
many of whom have responded with as
surances of sympathy in the great work.
