A Book for Women.

Sympathy in some, curiosity in many, will
secure . wide perusal of "The History of
Woman Suffrage" edited by Elizabeth Cady
Stanton. Susan B. Anthony and Matilda JOS
lyn Gage. This record of one of the most
striking movements in the political and social
life Of tho countryis one that will be of genera
interest to ALTO those who think it measure
of immediate need, those who think it absurd
and pernicious, or those who think it good
thing that may eventually succeed but who
hold to no hurry in its prosecution. That the
work, of which the first volume has been put
in type, treats of most important epoch of
social and civic development, none will
deny. The agitation for women suffrage in
America was begun in 184S. The book
Of which we are now speaking, treats of its
prosecution from that time to 1861. A volume
to follow will carry the history of the agitation
down to the present day. The first volume
makes handsome book of nearly nine hun
dred pages, neatly printed and bound, az d
adorned by portraits Of the women who have
pleaded, always vigorously and often elo-
quently, for the enlargement Of the liberties of
their sex. 1t is published by subscription and
bears the imprint Of Fowler & Wells, New
York. The canvassing agent in Portland is
Mrs. E. F. Foster, whose address is No. 6
Myrtle street, and who is bringing the work to
the notice of readers hereabouts.

of 81 years months and IA days. On Sunday

A WORD OF GENTLE CENsURE.
Something About Churches, Politics and
Equal Suffrage.

Mr.. EDfFoR.-In your remarks in the PRESS
of June IA, on Woman's Suffrage and the Qua
ker methods, you say that "the Quakers are
the only religious Society who give to women
a numerical equality in representation. You
likewise say "that women suffragists will be
wiser to cast their lot with those kindly people
than with the Greenbackers, to whom they
have Of late made great eyes"
The Shakers give women equal powers with
men in all the government of their communi-
ties, and never listened to an ADLER biblical
argument for woman's equality in all of the in
forests of life, than from Elder John Vance of
the Alfred community on the first Sunday in
June, and his earnest and eloquent appeal to
the young people Visitors present, about three
hundred) as to their aspirations and conduct Of
life, both for this and that which is to come
could not fail to leave its impression for good,
They do feel that interest in politics which
keeps them alive to all the interests of the
country, and to the manner in which those in
terests are managed, and / believe the time is
not far distant when they will consider it their
duty to give their testimony at the polls for
what they may consider right.
As for "the Greenbackers," the women suf-
fragists know no political party. The votes Of
all for that question will be gratefully received
We advocate, now and forever, the right of in
dividual opinion and expression, without hay
ing that accepted as even party bias.

The Great Barnum Show.

to-day BarnumS great show will be in
Portland and two exhibitions will be given,
one at o'clock in the afternoon and the other
at O'Clock in the evening. The doors will be
open an hour before the performance begins
in order to give an opportunity to all Of seeing
the menagerie and curiosities.
The arrangements for the convenience of
the audience are in every way complete. Each
individual is provided with q chair, so that all
crowding is avoided, while an ample supply Of
ushers promptly .and without confusion con-
duct the holders of tickets to their respective
places. Everything is new and clean, from
the costumes to the sawdust. No bad fiavors
disturb the nostrils; electric lights make the
auditorium as bright as day; the ventilation is
good, and a strong force Of police is present to
preserve order should their services be re-
quired The only drawback to the perform
ance is that the spectator is compelled to re-
ceive more than his moneys worth. In other
words, while his head is turned in one direc-
ton he feels as if he was losing something
good in another. Three rings are provided,
marked on the programme as Circle No. /, No.
2, and No. 8, the equestrianism taking place
in the two outer rings, and the central space
being reserved more especially for what are
technically known as ground acts" The dis
play begins with the usual pageant, in which
q vast number of rich dresses and handsome
animals are exhibited. after which there is
general introduction of the most notable Gu
riosities, including General Tom Thumb and
lady, Chang, the Chinese giant, the bearded
woman, the American baby elephant, giant
horse, OK, a pair of CRATES broken to harness,
and other features. Six common plough OK
en- are next shown, after which follow the
usual performances ON horseback, gymnastic
and athletic exercises, juggling, wire rope
walking, trapeze flying, and other attractions
"too numerous to mention" Among the most in
teresting portions Of the performance are the
military drill and other feats by twenty trained
elephants. the balancing by Japanese family,
and the extraordinary jumping of the group
of leapers who end the programme. The
clowns are said to be exceptionally good, and
one or two quite original. Altogether the show
is called an agreeable disappointment and we'll
worth seeing, only, as said before, ''too much
Of maximum is crowded into minimum"
The great street parade will be given in the
morning.
