WOMEN IN THE DEPARTMENTS.

There 1900 women employed in the
departments al Washington. Their sal
aries range from $500 to 81, But
one receives this higher amount, though
many receive $1,000 and 81 400. 1t is
said there is seldom a resignation after
appointment, and but few have left
their places TO marry and settle into do
mestic life. The greatest experts in
counting money and detecting counter
feits are among the lady employees.
The appointment OF women TO these
places was first made by Secretary Chase
in 1862, and the highest salary paid was
5000. Their usefulness and aptness for
the work being demonstrated, they have
been able to command wages approxi-
mating the salaries of men who for
merly occupied these places. Few of the
many i'll things prophesied as the result
Of such an Innovation have occurred,
and the heads of departments would
seriously object to making any changes
now. 1t is a qualification 10 see new
fields Of usefulness opening up to the
women of the land, more especially
when they prove themselves so fully
competent as in the departments at
Washington.

FAMILY REUNION.

The family of J. T. Scott, Esq, Of
Forest Grove, held grand reunion at
bis home at that place on Wednesday,
the 18th inst, the occasion being that
gentleman's SEVENTEEN birthday. The
children who gathered under the old
roof tree on that day were Mrs. NJ. +.
Cooke and Mrs. S. NJ. Kelly, Of Lafay-
cite, Hon. H. w. Scott, Mrs. A. J.
Duniway, Mrs. II. /. McCord, and Mrs.
c. A. Coburn, of Portland, and the
youngest of the family, Ward Beecher
Scott. But one of the band was absent,
Miss Ella Scott, of the Territorial Uni
versity, of Seattle, who, owing to her
school duties, was unable to be present.
She, however, was represented by a let
ter, which, as nearly as any inanimate
thing could do, bore to the dear old home
stead her love and greetings. The ed
itors of this journal, being, as will be
above noted, among those present, Of
fer this absence as an excuse for the
lack of customary editorial labor upon
the NEW NORTHWEST this week. We
will give the grand reunion more de-
tailed notice next week, feeling that
too much honor cannot be accorded tc
those who have braved life's vicissi'
tudes for nearly three-quarters of cen
tury and find themselves done with the
heat of the day-its burdens resting
upon the shoulders of their sons anc
daughters, and the golden glints OF life;
sunset resting with sacred radiance
upon their silvered heads.

ENERGY AND SCHOLARSHIP.

To show the energy with which a
person will pursue the desire for educa-
tion when determined TO possess it, the
following is cited: Theodore Parker
never received a diploma, though he
pursued the full college course at Har-
ward. Nor did he ever recite a single
lesson TO a professor. His father was
poor, and could not afford to pay the
college expenses; but Theodore was
bound to have a liberal education. One
morning he said; Father, have en-
tered Harvard College, How did
you prepare y asked the astonished
parent. Il studied by myself evenings,
after the days work was done, and
mornings before work. He was then
assisting his father on the farm. But
l cannot pay your college expenses 4
know that; mean to stay at home and
keep up with my class Aud he did
more than keep up with his class; part
Of the time he worked for his father at
home, aud part Of the time he taught
school, paying his father Sll month
to hire a hand in his place. He passed
the examinations successfully, but was
not given a degree because re was a
nonresident and bad paid no fees. Sub
sequently a degree was offered him, on
condition Of paying the customary fees
but money was scarce, though energy
and scholarship were ample, and be was
obliged to decline it.n

The bill restricting the immigration
Of Chinese has passed the Houses of

ceive. Secretary Evarts, however, op-
poses summary reputation of treaty ob-

duce the President to veto il.
Secretary Sherman, in a letter to the
House, states his estimate Of the expend-

mously adopted a resolution declaring
that the proposed law restricting Chi
nese immigration is in fiagrant viola
tion Of a sacred aud honorable treaty
and wholly inconsistent with the prin-
ciples and traditions Of our republic and
with the broad principles Of human free
dom, and it is the earnest hope that its
provisions may never disgrace our ma
tional statutes.

LETTER FROM La GRANpE.

To THE EDrroR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
regret that it will be impossible for
me to attend the annual convention, for
1 do so long to meet with the noble,
earnest workers in the cause Of freedom.
send you my best wishes for pleas
ant and profitable meeting, aud hope to
meet with you in convention before
many years, for l expect aud intend to
take a more active part in the cause
when my children are able to take
care of themselves; meanwhile, / shall
try TO instill into the minds of my sons
the principles of right and Justice, so
that when they become voters they
will be for instead of against us, and
to teach my daughters true dignity
and se!f-reliance, as this is field that
is open To the hnmblest workers, and
one in which we are sure Of success
sooner or later; for II women had not
been taught nom time immemOrial by
their religion and every other way thai
they were interiors who must submit
without questioning TO the men as su'
periors, we should not now see the
many cringiug women who are afraiC
to follow the dictates of their own con-
science and subscribe for a paper ol
send a dollar to aid a convention with
out permission from headquarters (thai
is husband), and though there are many
women who act thus, yet they inwardly
/ rebel, for l have had them to tell me
privately to sign their names to any
and all the suffrage petitions circulated
but not to let their husbands know it
showing that the principle Of selfhoOC
was still in them, and that all the age
of teaching to the contrary had not ob
liberated it.
Hoping you will have a full attend
ance at the convention, remain
Respectfully,

THE CONVENTION.

The seventh annual convention Of the
Oregon State Woman Suffrage Associ-
alton, which was held in this city
three days and evenings during last
week, was well attended aud enthusi-
astic. Notwithstanding the fact that
the opening day WAS ushered in by snow
and that the rains literally poured down
all day without intermissiOn, both the
morning and afternoon session at the
parlors of Mrs. DIR. Agnes Burr were
more than ordinarily full, and the even
ing session at Masonic Hall was well
attended and the exercises highly ap.
preciated. Mrs. Loughary, who is de-
nominated, and fitly, the "PatriclS
Henry of the new dispensation," by the
president, won new laurels, as she does
every time she appears on the rostrum.
The remarks of DIR. Thompson were
forcible, logical aud well received, and
the services of Mrs. Duniway, although
she made no set speech until the closing
evening, were invaluable. Besides Mrs.
A4OAEuaAlH ailnlA IennN1 SNAN WV y
as workers Mrs. NJ. +. Cooke, Mrs. Au-
CUR, Miss V. Olds and Mrs. COsine
Clackamas furnished efficient aid in Mrs
J. DeVOre johnson and Mr.. and Mrs
McCown. The severe storms prevented
the Salem, Albany, Astoria and Fores
Grove workers from being present, bu
many Of them sent excellent letters o
cheer, and essays for the good Of tbs
cause. It was not at first intended t
hold the meetings over two days an'
evenings, but the growing sentiment de
manded a continuance Of the lectures 70
the third, and the constantly increasing
audiences testified to the constantly in
creasing interest. The proceedings ar
published in full elsewhere, and we SEN
them out with congratulations to ou
co-workers throughout the State and ma
tion with feeling of triumph and glad
ness for the growing success of the caus
Of woman's enfranchisement.

0. TIE TINES THE MANNERS |

As VIC expected, our structures upon
the action Of the church authorities in
on the occasion Of our visit
there few weeks sincs, have awakened
considerable discussion. The Iadepend-
e1't characterized the action of the trust
ees as Inconsistent" whereupon one of
them came to the front last week, say
ing that the church was never used for
merchandise" intimating probably
be didn't know any better-that our
lectures were of mercantile" charac-
ter. Then, by way Of exhibiting fur
ther inconsistency, he acknowledged in
the next sentence, that they had had
lectures by women devoted to free
dom" in the church, "but door fee Of
twenty-five cents was charged, and the
money used to help tue church in its
needs" 1t is indeed small wonder that
religion is at low ebb in Vancouver.
Such = narrow, niggardly, and piggish
policy would undermine any church un-
der the sun. This trustee virtually ad-
mits that if, instead Of giving our lee
lures free in Vancouver, as we do every
where else, we had consented to door
fee for The "help Of the church in its
needs" there would have been no OBJ
lection TO our meetings being held
within Its 'saered" precincts, wherein
no thought Of merchandise" must be
allowed to creep. Doubtless, If Jesu:
were here, he would overthrow the ia.
bles of the money-changers in thai
church. O, tempora! o, mQres!

SNOW STORM.

A heavy snow storm prevailed
throughout Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington last week. At the Cascades on
Saturday, the snow was three feet deep,
and was covered with a crust an inch
thick. AT The Dalles on the same day,
it was twenty inches, at Walla Walla
six inches. The ice gorge at He'll Gate
remains uumoved, resting upon the bed
Of the river, and towering ten feet above
the level. A large amount of stock i'm
various places is dying from exposure
to the fierce blasts and insufficient food.
What with the Indians in summer aud
the storms in winter, the past year has
been serious one for settlers beyond
the mountains.

THE SCHOOL LAW.

The amendment to the school law,
made by the last Legislature, places
women on an equal footing with men
IN school elections; 4. G., any woman
'wenty-one years of age, owning prop
erty in the district subject to taxation,
is entitled to vote upon any matter that
comes before the annual school meet
lugs' This election occurs on the first
monday in March, instead Of April, as
formerly and we wish to impress upon
women who are made voters bv This
alnenument the great Importance Of
turning out upon that occasion. Let
not one remain away from the polls
who is entitled to the franchi.. o,, ,ho,
day. We will publish the amended
section next week.
