WHO ARE THE DEAD-HEADS ?-If
editors were not among the most pa
tient and best-natured people that in
habit the earth, they would long ago
have exposed the charge of dead head
ism so often and constantly made against
the press. No end of carping persons
think il a fine thing to sneer at the edi-
iors and reporters who, without paying,
go to theaters, concerts, operas, miscel-
laneOus shows, banquets, and the best
seats in conventions and legislative as
semblies, forgetting entirely that Jour
nalists 90 to all of these places in dis
charge of their duties; that one and all
of them would rather remain at home
than 90 for labor where their more for
tunate fellows repair for recreation. 1t
is quite true that the places of Journal
lists are too frequently usuTped by a set
OF Chaonlc braZen spOnges, who think
II praiseworthy TO thrust themselves in
seats reserved for the members of the
press, IN order to enjoy themselves free
Of cost. This class it is that, by their
unseemly behavior, bring disgrace upon
the journalistic profession. Men so lost
to all feelings of delicacy as to pass
themselves OF Cor what they are not.
for the sake Of saving a few dollars,
cannot be expected to demean them
selves like gentlemen. If these same
persons were TO try TO palm themselves
oil as doctors or lawyers, they would be
promptly exposed and punished The
good -natuTed editors suffer these real
dead-heads to usurp their own places
and disgrace them sides.-PfinteT's s

Plain Facts Plainly Stated.

The following comr1f aleation APP
peared a year since in these columns,
and is reproduced at the suggestion of a
friend:
Very many persons object to speaking
Of the condition Of woman as a condi-
ton Of slavery, as this, in their estima-
tiOn, is placing the matter in light too
strong and altogether OdiOus. Far be ii
from me to deprecate the marriage rela-
tion, if this is properly ordered aud sus-
tained, but a marriage relation which
imposes the double curse, the mans and
woman's curse also, upon the woman,
imposes upon her q condition OF servi-
tude as oppressive to her, mentally and
physically, as any ever endured by any
other class.
From forty years observation I can
say, with very few exceptions, wife is
only another name for slave; aud she
has no more privilege than the black
man Of the South had before the eman-
cipation proclamation established for
him equal rights.
The ten hour law was made TO protect
the laboring man, while the wives OF
these men work from fourteen to six
teen hours every day, aud even on Sun
day there is very little rest for the wife
and mother. Men make all the laws;
men are the lawyers, judge and jury;
women have only to submit.
No Shareholder ever treated the
blacks with more cruelty than the
drunkard treats his wife, aud there was
a long war to liberate the blacks, but no
hope for the wife. Yet they tell US this
is the land of the free and the home Of
the brave.
Take a glance at enlightened Ger
many; see the wife harnessed with the
OK. Then turn TO the heather, where
women are treated worse than domestic
animals. Many children are born sickly
on account of toe oppression Of the
mother, and hundreds die in infancy
because their mothers have not time to
give them the proper care.
Nature made woman the proper
trainer and educator of the young, but
men have usurped the place. While
great strong men are sitting in their
rooms reading or writing, delicate wOm-
en- are compelled to labor at the wash
tub aud perform other dTudgery.
The great men that are doing so much
with their abundance" will he greatly
surprised atthe day Of reckoning to see
some poor woman, whom they think be-
meath their notice, come forward with
her 1.-TWO mites" and take the upper
most seat.
The question is up, and will not down
till woman takes the place God intended
for her. When she is released from
drudgery, and those strong, idle men
put in the place, as they should be, then
she will have time to train and educate
properly the children under her care,
as Isaiah prophesied, "One that dies at
the age of an hundred years will be
called a child; as the days of a tree, so
shall the days Of Gods people be; they
shall enjoy the labor of their hands, aud
all shall know the Lord, from the least
to the greatest J.

determined now she was overheard. to
make the best Of it.
The shame is that people are so sell
fish and ignorant that such preaching
Is necessary" was the smiling reply.
Lets adjourn to the dining-room.v -
said the little hostess, her face flushed
with exercise and confusion, "and we'll
talk this out at debating society.u
The wedding feast was none the less
enjoyable because Of the thoughtful
lesson to which the guests had Just been
treated.
II am well stricken in years" said
Major Marblehead, "but am lust be-
ginning to learn the philosophy of life."
"Never mind philosophy now, father;
let US have physical food, said the
brOwn-eyed daughter-in-law, as she
buzzed around among the guests, doing
her best to break the spell that seemed
- s;apefy them.
And she succeeded, not in breaking
the memory Of it, however, for to this
day there be many who recall that we'd
ding scene with feelings Of reverence for
true marriage that verge upon awe.
The guests departed at a late hour,
leaving Colonel Marblehead and wife,
and Kingston Greensborough and bride
as happy as mortals can be in this
world Of imperfeetion and change.
That was years ago, reader. Major
Marblehead is dead now, and his widow
is the wife of an army surgeon who
rules her as efectually as she once ruled
the Major.
Thomas Jones still fourishes in Mon
tana as Federal officer, though he is
old before his time. Belle AIunson be-
came his wife, but not till after she had
been the wife of an adventurer of even
less principle than himself who had dis
carded her as soon as he had pawned
her jewels and wasted her little all.
Martha aud her husband have long
resided upon the Chehalem farm, which
fell to them as bequest upon the death
Of Major Marblehead. They have erected
an elegant country mansion upon the
old cabin site where Martha first began
housekeeping with the hated husband
Of her fathers and step-mothers choos-
ing.
Blooming sons and daughters bless
the present union, and the talk is cur
rent in social circles round about that
Allie Jones, now a young lady, is soon
to be tie beloved wife Of the young
brother of the present Martha Marble
head, whose husband is now out Of Of
fee and has become prosperous farmer,
while she, as well as the former Martha,
has been a maid, aud is now a matron
Of the valley of Chehalem.

A LOVE STORY.-A charming love
story, with a college professOr-possibly
Thomas c. Upham, of BowdOin-for
the hero, is told by the Bangor CONNER
cidt. Among the White Hills many
years ago, young student met lovely
girl and lost his heart, but dared not
tell her, so timid and retiring was he.
She seemed to be aware of his attach
menti and looked upon him with kind
eyes, but nothing came Of the acquaint-
ance. They separated, and subsequently,
each married another. He became a
college professor, evinced talent of high
order, aud won reputation at home and
abroad. At last the weight of years
compelled him to give up the duties Of
his professorship. She who had shared
the hOnors of his career had passed
away, and the white-haired professor
was left alone. He made a journey to
those granite bills where be had sighed
aud dreamt in boyhood, and there he
found a silver-haired widow, his old
time sweetheart. After a long talk he
rose TO take his leave, and the dignity,
reserve, and bashfulness which had been
the instincts Of his life, seemed to for
sake him. Taking the venerable lady
by the hand, for the first and last time
IN his life, looking her tenderly in the
face, and calling her by her Christian
name, be said;
81 have a favor to ask Of you. Will
you grant me kiss ?i
Their lips met with all the fervency,
If not passion of youth, while tears
streamed down their aged cheeks.

The year 1877 has been in the ecclesi-
astical world, If not a stormy, a very
busy year. The movement represented
by the now well-knOwn evangelists has
gone forward without pause. January
found Messrs. Moody and Sankey in
Chicago, from which city they pro-
ceeded to Boston in February. Their
success in Boston was so decided that
they remained there three months. The
results were most satisfactory to Mr..
Moody himself, and large numbers were
added TO the churches. Beginning with
October, the evangelists gave a month
each to the States of Vermont and New
Hampshire, and in December opened
services in Providence, Rhode Island.
Early in the year Mr.. Z. p. Hammond
held successful meetings in Syracuse,
New York, Miss Smiley at st. Louis
aud Chicago, while the Rev. George +.
Pentecost conducted a series OF services
at Bangor, Maine. The spirit Of evan
gelism has carried some of the earnest
preachers who have labored in this
country to the other side of the world.
Messrs. Varley and Somerville are in
Australia; the Rev. George Muller, OF
Bristol, England, has visited the United
states; while the Rev. William Taylor,
veteran in this species Of work. has
gone TO Peru.

The UNExPECTEnNEss OF SEwER-GAs.-
Two of the children of well-known New
Yorker, living in well-built house uptown,
were suddenly taken sick Yesterday with all
the symptoms Of diphtheris. They had oe-
cupied front room in the upper story. In
the closet adjoining is wash-basin with
sewer connections. A sickish smell was
noticed in the room, and was supposed to
come from under the basin, not from the
basin itself. Sewer-gas was not suspected,
for every basin inthe house had trap OF
the most approved plan. A plumber was
sent for. "Sewer-gas," said he, and set to
work to trace it. This was the only room
in the house where there was any smell OF
the kind. The plumber finally found the
leak below the water-closet on the floor be-
low and twenty-five feet away. The gas
from the sewer had eaten two holes about
the size Of a.pin in the upper side OF the
trap under the closet and followed thewaste-
pipe up, making its presence known not
on that floor but on the floor above, which
was supposed to be perfectly protected

PRINCE OF WALEs's PRESENTS. OF
the most interesting features OF the Expo
sition are the presents made to the Prince OF
Wales during his visit to India IN 1879.
They occupy considerable space in the main
building and are very valuable, certainly to
the extent of several millions Of dollars.
They embrace crown, or rather a velvet
cap, covered all over with diamonds, ana
rubies, and pl ecious stones, with diamond
rings, bracelets, at least twenty swords
with their scabbards covered with dia-
monds, gold dinner and tea-sets, silver
throne, rings set with diamonds, &c. In
short, there must be from three to four hum
dred different articles, all OF great value
even to saddle.cloths covered with dia-
monds, guns, sabres, and great variety Of
gold and silver articles, the purposes for
which they were intended not being appa-
rent to the general examiner. The cases in
which they are exhib are always crowded

Editors Dispatch: While perusing the
columns OF your valuable paper OF the 23d
instant saw inserted the reorganization OF
the I. o. g. T. by a few members OF the
Order in convention assembled at Fou--
shee- Street Hall, in this city, on Tuesday,
May 21st, styled semi.annual session Grand
Lodge Independent Order Of Good Temp
lars, wherein charge was presented against
Rev. William Derrick, G. w. c. T., for
usurpation Of authority; and a committee
appointed to investigate said charge report
ed the charge sustained. Idesire to make
the following statement In reference to the
matter About one month ago Rev. William
Derrick called meeting at the Office Of the
Ftrgintd Star to take under consideration
the importance OF postponing the Grand
Lodge session on account OF the financial
enbarra rassmen OF the country, which would
no doubt have tendency to prevent full
representation Of the various lodges. The
officers present at said meeting postponed
the session until November.
Charges were also presented against DR..
r. A. Green, G. VS.. The committee also
reported these charges sustained. i did not
attend the so-caIled Grand Lodge session,
and number Of names OF members of the
Order which appeared in the issue mention
ed above were not present. Neither were
there twelve lodges duly represented, as
stated. I was not aware that there were
eight lodges Of colored Good Templars in
this city.
A great injustice has been done Rev.
William Derrick and DR.. r. a. Green. |
consider the manner in which the proceed
ings were entertained as Illegal, and hope
the evil may be eyaded or redressed. May
the God OF Heaven protect your sheet and
render it an honored instrument in the
cause OF justice and the right.
