THE people of the state of Oregon
will now have an opportunity to
vote upon the question of ex-
tending the right Of suffrage
to the women. The legislature of 1880
took the preliminary step to amend
the constitution by the passage of the
necessary joint resolution, and recent
ly the present general assembly has
ratified their action for its submission
to popular vote. The question of
woman suffrage seems To be gradually
gaining ground among the men, but
whether it is among the hest informed
aud most intelligent ladies of the land,
is a matter of serious doubt in the
minds of most thoughtful persons,
And that is exactly the point which
we should be glad to see tested, and it
is to be regretted that the Oregon legis-
lature did not first pass an enabling
act, authorizing the women themselves
to vote upon the question, and then,
If 1t was approved by majority Of
those voting upon the subject, il might
be ratified by - majority of the male
voters of the stste. The test would re.
veal two facts: First, whether a ma.
jority of the women of Oregon would
take sufli ,ient interest in the matter
to 60 to the polls and vote, and, second
ly, If they did, whether majority of
them, or what proportion of them,
favored the proposition. There has
not been anything like general de
mand yet made among the women
themselves for the elective franehsse
to be extended to them, and that those
who have been most clsmorous for il
do not represent anything like a ma.
jority of the fair sex. Whenever it
shall appear that a msjsrity of the
mothers, wives and daughters OF the
best families ia the land shall mite in
serious demand to haye their .'rigthsn
extended to them, and their sphere OF
duty so enlarged as to include political
responsibility, we do not believe it will
be long withheld from them.

The Penn Celebration.
A GALA DAY.

PHILADELpHIA, Oct. 24,-No more
fitting weather could have been vouch-
safed for "landing day" than that
which prevailed this morning. At no
time during the centennial period was
an event so thoroughly and heartily
celebrated by the public, which filled
the streets, the river front, windows
and roofs of houses fronting or over
looking the Delaware, and all sorts OF
gaily decorated craft on the river.
Shortly after eight o'clock tug
boats, steam bsrges and other
vessels to the number of about
$50 formed in line in the vicinity OF
League Island, some FIVE miles south
of the city proper and followed in the
wake of the Welcome" Danish
bark, fitted up to represent the original
vessel on which Penn came over.
The Founder" was impersonated by
Frank l.. Van Horne. After few sim
pie ceremonies of welcome the latter
was taken in tow by tug and brought
to the city. As she passed the North
Atlantic squadron, anchored below the
point chosen for Penn's landing, she
was saluted by the Tennessee's guns
and returned the salute. The
wharf where the landing took
place was on Dock street, said to be
just above the point where the original
landing was effected. AT half-past ten
PENN STEPPED OVER THE SIDE
of the "Welcome," and as he did so the
scene was lively beyond description,
boat bells were rung. steam whistles on
river and land were blown, guns were
fired and the multitudes cheered. On
the landing wharf were assembled
some seventy or eighty persons, dress
ed to represent the Swedes, Dutch, In
dians and others, who were copgregated
to receive VIM. Penn, and from these
the mock founder received 3 hearty
welcome. Then followed a grand
landing day demonstration, one of the
finest affairs ever witnessed.

Preserving Eggs for Cooking

In late summer and early autumn,
when fresh eggs are plentiful, gather
the requisite number for family use,
and place them on either end-she
large one always preferable. There
are many methods CT preserving eggs
in state of comparative freshness,
and there is little need of doing with
out this desirable diet. If one does not
Iaise the eggs, they can be purchased
reasonable IN May or June, and packed
down or preserved. Be sure that the
eggs are fresh laid, and have not been
sat upon, even not for twenty-four
hours Many times, if eggs are left in
the nests, and hen suddenly takes a
notion to sit, one day and night will
spoil the keeping qualities of the eggs.
Eggs may be kept in good order for
six months land the period is reason
ably long enough ordinarily by dip
ping them into warm tallow, and, after
they are cool, packing close in sawdust,
making the package as nearly air-tight
as possible, and placing it in dry,
cool place, being careful to remove be
! fore cold weather sets in. The tallow
should be the hardest that can be had.
The eggs may be dipped in strong gum
water and then dried, and then packed
in the same manner. The object is
| to exclude the air. They will keep
quite length of time if dipped into
boiling water. This kills the germ and
coats the inner shell closing the pores.
Eggs will keep comparatively fresh if
packed down in dly salt late in the
season. This is sufficient for all culi-
nary purposes for the winter. AL
though for boiling or for omelets there
is nothing like a fresh laid egg, the
preserved ones answer well for every
purpose. l have often heard city
lady say that she never could make
good custards or cakes with fresh laid
country eggs, so accustomed was she
to the preserved or stale article.
Where fowls are kept, there need
never be any lack of fresh eggs at any
time of the year Bot there are many
city people who value fresh eggs and
cannot have them in the winter when
the retail price goes beyond their reach
but might purchase fresh ones In sun
mer, and by packing down st home.
have better article than can be pur
chased in the winter season. For lima
ing eggs, pickle is made of pure ston'
lime, fine, clean salt, and pure water
in the following proportions: Six tC
eight quarts of salt, sixty to sixty-ny'
gallons of water, and one bushel o
lime. The stronger the lime water
and the more free from sediment, tn,
better. Slake the lime with 3 portion
ofthe water; then add the remsinde
of the water and the salt. STIR wei
three or four times at intervals, an,

scale, but may be proportioned &C
cording to the judgement for fanil
use. Country Gentleman.
