night. The next day, In our canvassing
rounds, we met the husband of the
woman, who, Adam like, threw the
blame Of our reception at his house upon
his wife, and said he had not told her
what she said be had about our lectures,
or our coming to the house We smil-
ingly assured him that it was call
right" and hoped that one or both Of
them would attend the next lecture.
He said his wife should come and-she
did, whether willingly or not, depouent
does not know.
All Of our lectures were we'll attended,
in spite Of bad weather and diphtheria.
and we LEFT Silverton at A. N. on Sat
urlay for the next appointment at How
ell prairie, bearing with Us the kindly
good will aud wishes OF the most OF its
citizens, and carrying in our heart a
glowing memory Of the kindly hospi-
tality Of its foremost people.
We returned on Monday 10 Salem,
where, slupefied by fatigue, We scrihble
this indeuture, not knowing whether it
is worth the reading, and feeling sure it
is not worth the labor required to pro-
duce it. Will be home by Saturday.

GIVEN OVER TO CONTEMPT.

The one man Of all others in this
State who, while boasting bifurcated gar
ments disgraees them in the wearing, is
H. B. Luce, Of the HillsbOro Tndepess-
ent If we had ever had the most dis
tant desire to array ourself in such bab-
iliments, such a desire would have been
at once overcome by the disgusting pos
sibility that we should thereby have
cut as undignified and lndicrous a fig
ure as he. As to argument with a
person whose ideas never by any possi-
bility soar above the cut Of his garments,
that is manifestly mposslble. He turns
the most eOgent arguments aside by
screaming "pantaloons," aud lest this
word may not inspire us with proper awe
for his superior sex, he precedesit by the
word pistols aud considers MS van
quished. That our readers may see how
little real cause we have for alarm,
even while these ponderous words are
reverberating through our sanctum, we
subjoin the following specimen of bis
chaste, elegant and conclusive style Of
argument:
II is laughable, though, that they cannot
open their mouths without putting their feet
slap into them in their natural longing foI
pantaloOns. So Mrs. C0burn, with a manly
ambition in her breast, says sorrowfully and
spitefully, sick from hope long deferred, Men
are in sole charge Of the prisons OF the State
and IL commutation means escape or pardon,
IL is surely the fault OF those IN authority. %
Now we beg, for the sake OF these two old
darlings, that the superintendent OF the penl-
tentiary hire them for a prison guard and give
Them pistols and pantaloons, that they may no
longer cry into the much-vexed ear Of heaven
thar they were not made men in fact rs they
are by nature.
We are sure our friends will agree that
time spent in replying to the slurs Of
such a thorough "dunderhead" as the
above proves its author 10 be, is worse
than wasted. In fact, it provokes in us
none Of the
Fierce JOY that warriors feel
In foemen worthy OF their Steel"
And we merely give it, begging pardon
Of our intelligent readers meanwhile,
and thus give him over to the contempt
he merits.

AT WAR WITH DUMB, UNCONSCIOUS
CLAY.

We would like to ask our brother Of
the Bee whether it is crime he repro
bates or the wretched criminals whose
fearful heritage it is? Whether crime is
not the result Of human fraiIties, a word
which he strangely declares is "no word
to use in connection with crime.'
Whether, according to his own oft-re-
peated statement, the infiiction of The
death penalty is not sufficient punish
ment? The feeling that would pursue
criminals beyond the confines ofthe dark
river aud keep their misdeeds before
the world even after they have paid the
penalty with their lives are outcroppings
Of a spirit Of revenge the tender mercies
OF which are indeed cruel, and give one
a shuddering reminder Of the old medi-
;eval times when criminals were sub
jected to the rack until fainting, revived
again and the torture re-applied, and
When at last kind death interposed be-
tween human cruelty aud human en-
durance, subjected the body TO outrage
and elevated it, piecemeal, upon poles at
tue entrance ofthe city. Volumes could
NOT more clearly set forth the spirit
Whieh induces the legal taking of life
than the few lines Of protest uttered nv
our eoniemp- against our expres-
sion last week that the "silence Of death
sacred and unbroken might sci j,s s,er.
nal seal upon the frailties thai caused
the criminals recently executed in mi.
city to suffer the full extent O, buo.n
penalty for violated law" Gbouli,b in.
deed must be the feeling that would
pursue with constant invective even the
most hardened reprObate beyond the
grave, and mistaken the idea that thinks
to diminish crime by constantly keen
ing IL before the public.

"ALLOWANCED."

A writer upon the domestic habits of
Germans IN their native land says: "In
the domestic management, frugality
rules TO a distressing degree. Servants
are usually allowed in the tea, coffee
and sugar they use, and one Of my haus
Jralis as regularly called her maid into
the sitting room evenings for the lump
Of sugar for her tea as the tea came
around. But then the mistress herself
is 'allowanced,' to begin with, by the
husband, and bard time she sometimes
has to make her weekly account bal
ance"
All Of US have seen the "allowsncedn
women In our own country. The word
is written In every line Of the nervous
face, In every glance Of the restless eye.
For her, the courage to announce that
the sugar barrel is empty is the accum-
ulatiou Of days, and the feeling Of self
depreciation when the announcement is
made could be no greater if the "allow-
anced' almOner had herself eaten or
recklessly wasted every ounce of the
carefully boarded sweets Of the previous
store. There is no greater state Of alb
ject serfdom in existence than this same
"allowanced" condition In which hund-
reds Of women spend their lives, giving
constantly their whole time, strength
and energy for a restless couch and
meager fare while the world dubs them
Supported"

INDIOATIoNs nP PROGRESS.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE NEW NORTHWEST
One Of the straws which tell Of favor
ing winds in the progress OF our race is
the fitness Of the many to ill the posi-
tions to which they are appointed, aud
no step in the progress is more noticea-
ble than that assigning to woman the
custody Of her own sex. This is more
and more the case in the older States.
In the Girls Industrial School, in Ian
caster, Kansas, the men, who were for
merly solely employed as teachers and
in other capacities, have been super
seded by women. First, perhaps, among
those institutions denoting progress, is
the woman's reformatory institution in
Sherwood, Mass. Mrs. Endora c. At
kinson is the superintendent, aud
women dll every Office, from the lowest
to the chaplsincy, the teachers posi-
ton, the physicians, etc, superlutend-
ing every department OF labor, and these
are various as are the localities from
which the inmates come. Hear what
Governor Rice said In Farewell Hall the
10th Of last October:
"And If you want TO know how the
experiment succeeds, 90 up there and
see nearly five hundred criminals, some
Of them the very worst characters that
We have ever had sent TO the houses of
correction or any other places, and see
them IN perfect state Of subordination
aud oflicered aud controlled and directed
by three OF four noble women and their
assistants. Visiting the prison with an
ambassador from Europe, that dis
tinguished gentleman said to me while
passing through the prison, where is
the force, where is the power that con-
trolls, orders and governs this great and
moral Institution? ? I.see no force. !
not only see no garrison, but see no
police, see women, and suppose a diff
Guilty arises, how is it to be overcome ?
What is the secret that has already
overcome, and that keeps the prison in
state Of subordmation - said to
him, Sir not only is the prison pew in
its organization, not only il il substau-
TALLY Eew Ia its ideal, but the power
that Is within it is as new as the SUI
preme power in prison, and it is the
great power Of love, which is the con-
trolling power in all human hearts; and
that power Of love which is exhibited
on the part Of the officers Of the prison
wins the admiration and affection even
Of the dull-minded and cold hearted
criminals that are within its walls IL
is worth something, fellow-citizens, to
have ascertained that fact, that there is
a power in human hearts, no matter
how degraded they are. which cannot
resist the perpetual out-pouring OF the
law OF love into that heart. II must
respond, and we show in the woman's
prison, that it does respond"
The prison cost three hundred thou
sand dollars to erect it; but it is OF more
than three million Of dollars Of value to
the people Of Massachusetts, and is an
example of humanity to all mankind.

LET JUSTICE AND DBOBNCY PRE-
VAIL.

The reporter for the associated Press,
at Washington, d. C., presuming upon
the prurient taste Of the Pacific coast
public, under date OF the 2ith inst,
sends for their delectatiou another dis
gusting installment of the Cameron
Oliver scandal. We now have the testi-
mony Of DR.. George Gould, principal Of
ayoung ladies' seminary at Millersville,
KY, that his uncle, Thomas Oliver, who
is now a teacher in the same school, was
never married to the plaintiff, Mrs.
Olinor, but lived with her unlawfully
for a long series Of years.
This is Of course expected 10 dislroy
the plaintiffs character, aud thus render
her testimony Of little force, while the
completely Of Thomas in the whole
matter and his sworn statement Of the
same neither Injuries his own testimony
nor disqualiies him in any sense as a
teacher Of young girls.
Now while We have no sympathy
with Mrs. Oliver, or any other woman
who will defy the laws Of morality as
she is charged with. having done, we
earnestly hope that If the hoary ex-Sen-
ator be proven guilty ofthe charges pre-
ferred against him, If not in justice to
her, for the credit Of the nation, he may
be made to respond in exemplary dam
ages. It is certainly time that all right
minded persons were arraying them
selves in opposition to the too prevalent
sentiment that would wink at or palliate
sUch gross infractions Of the rules oi
morality OF the laws Of the land. The
odium that attaches to parties to such
disreputable Transactions should be over
whelming and equal; both should be re-
manded to unhonored obscurity, and
decency forever after should seorn to SC
much as pronounce their names.

Rev. De Witt Talmage appeared for
:rial on Monday before the BROOKLYN
Presbytery. The principal charges
against him were falsehond and deceit.
He pleaded not guilty. DIR. Spear, his
counsel, moved to quash the principal
specifications, as they failed to indicate
time or place. After warm debates. the
moderator granted the motion to strike
out the specifications. Talmage then
demanded the investigation upon these
very charges. He said that the people
wanted to know II they were true, and
if they were not Investigated, he would
appeal to the King county grand jury.
He would waive all technicalities, and
show that he had done no wrong. Il
was finally decided 20 try Talmage on
all the specifications.

fact that the two Chinamen now lectur-

American statesmen have generally
been married men, aud the Presidential
chair has never but once been occupied
by bachelor. II Is said that Buchanan,
like Irving, was disappointed 10 his
early love, and if 50, it affords pardon
