What Women Should Know =.

Intelligent effort is the neeu VI
the hour. To think wisely is to
act wisely. In these times Of stir
ring events and progressive
thought, woman may not sit with
in the shadow of her "Home-tree"
stitching the best hours of her life
into Kensington daisies or spend
ing her finer sympathies on unreal
heroes of impossible events.
To meet the expectations of pub
lie opinion-that stream of opinion
in regard to what woman mag and
must do, SO long damned up,
that it has burst through every OBJ
struction, and demands her
earnest, intelligent action, on every
question of vital moral force-to
meet this, she must have fair n
derstanding of the popular issues
of the day.
The time has passed when that
extreme conservatism, which is the
surest ally of extreme radicalism,
rules in social life, and puts pre-
MUM upon ignorance, calling it
by that seductive pseudonym "lady
like"
She must at least know the
names of existing political parties,
whether she aspires to the subtler
discernment of underlying prin-
oiples or not. "t.i
She must be cognizant of events
that go to make up our own
and contemporary history, in order
to meet the inquisitiveness of the
average ''free school" boy, who I'M
der the present admirable system Of
discussing current events in the
classroom, keeps the work-a-day
woman at her wits end, to appear
"as wise in her generation as these
children of light
Already the shout of the ire
pressible American boy goes up
for the candidates of the party sup
ported by his father, accompanied
by that refrain of significant conso-
lation, eff [ can't vote my father
can" which in due time will be
followed by the imperative ques-
ton, Mother, (for these boys do
do not 60 to their fathers for infor-
mation) what does Republican and
Democrat mean?" And it were
wise thing for these mothers to
turn aside from the pressing duties
of home life long enough to prepare
themselves to give an intelligent
answer. Even if there were not
the higher motive of deciding for
themselves in these times, when
party platforms mean simply
place where politicians can stand
in sight Of office-where policies
are dictated to catch the support of
corrupt combinations that are COM
spring against the dearest inter
ests of home and country.

Mrs. Wells at Huntington.
HUNTINGTON, July II, '84.

DEAR w. =, L. U. EDITOR 7 GU
invite correspondence from the
different w. C. T. US, and as I
have seen nothing from this place
lately, 1 have determined to re-
spond to your invitation.
Our organization is growing in
numbers and zeal. | am ashamed
TO say that some of us opposed Mrs.
Wells coming here, deeming it I'M
womanly for lady to speak in
public. But after hearing her, ev-
cry vestige of prejudice disappear
ed and admiration became the pre-
dominant feeling. She is indeed
engaged in a great missionary
work. Her womanly bearing, her
sweet and distinct enunciation, her
great ability which handles her
subject in such mastery manner,
and above all, her great sympathy
for the women and children, won
all who heard her. And especially
winning was her great sympathy
for the suffering women and chill
dren, whose natural protectors are
bringing so much sorrow into their
lives!
Surely our lawmakers should
hang their guilty heads in shame
that they have legalized this great
curse in our midst, to fill our jails
and our homes with it's wretched
victims!
Women have been forced to take
the field in self defense. God bless
them, and give them strength and
wisdom for the battle.
The ministers here were very
kind, lending their presence and
aid, except the Presbyterian pastor,
who refused to announce Mrs.
Wells appointment, and was con-
spicious by mis- absence from her
meeting, as was the case with most
of his congregation.
To make things more pointed, a
Sunday or two after he preached
two sermons, taking for his text,
cit is a shame for woman to speak
in church" Let them learn of their
husbands at home in silence;' this
was the subject of his sermon thro'-
out. May God forgive him for
throwing even straw in the way
of those who are laboring in such
d noble work. Pain, surprise, and
just indignation were felt. The
saloon keepers were of course much
elated.
see they had a grand time in
Putnam. A thousand persons turn
ing out to hear Mrs. Wells at Win
field, speaks we'll for the temper
ance sentiment at that place.

tor III our home, and is loaned out

r. H. Mcdonald, the Prohibition
M Millionaire.


We have received, with the com.
ments of the California delegation
to the Prohibition Convention, held
in Pittsburgh to-day, a neat pam.
phlet, giving a fine engraving,
with letters, speeches, &c, of Hon.
R. H. Mcdonald, the wealthy lead.
or of the temperance hosts on the
Pacific Slope.
Mr.. Mcdonald puts "works"
along with "faith," using his mon
ey literally in sowing temperance
literature broadcast, wherever
there is promise of a harvest. He
recently sent his check for $500, to
aid in the Amendment campaign
in Maine. He is the enthusiastic
choice of the California Prohibi-
tionists for the head of the ticket
at the Pittsburgh Convention.
LETTER TO MISS WILLARD.
Mr.. Mcdonald has been enjoying
visit through the States. We
give below extracts from a recent
letter written Miss Willard on his
arrival in New York.
My DEAR Miss WILLARD Il left
California March Oath, and arrived
here on the 4th inst, stopping on
the way in Missouri, Kentucky,
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Washing
ton, D. G., Norfolk, Va, and other
places. Altogether my trip has
been pleasant, and, l hope, profta-
BILE. sff ~
1t gives me great pleasure to see
that wherever'I have been the peo-
pie are alive to the Importance of
the cause of temperance; and |
mean by this in most cases the
twin evils, Ardent Spirits, and To-
bacco, in all their injurious forms.
There seems a powerful under
tone, like groundswell, making
itself known in every part of our
country; the masses are rapidly
preparing for the revolution soon
to be started by them, and which,
sooner than most now suppose, will
sweep like cyclonic whirlwind
over and down on those who stand
in its way.
I feel this change in every nerve
and muscle of my body, and with
me it is the sympathy with what l
see on all sides depicted in the
faces, actions and expressions Of
the masses around me. All they
seem to lack is trustworthy guild
ance they need instruction and
jealous leaders of experience and
efficiency. These l believe must
soon rise up, for this is Gods work,
and He will not long suffer His
children to keep crying out against
this giant evil, that is menacing
destruction to all, without showing
them way out of Egypt. l feel
more and more every day that God
is with us in this work, and with
His aid, victory will be sure to re-
ward US in the end. x X
Let US not be found growing
weary at this important hour; our
continuous labors, prayers and
trust will surely lead US to victory
in Gods own time.
With most heartfelt wishes for
your success, good health and hap
pinees, am
Yours very sincerely,
r. H. MCDONALD.

Felicity.

A comfortable, az cOntrasted with an
austere, mode Of life is the most natural,
and there fore the healthiest and the
best. We sometimes wonder why those
who live by rule and treInble as they
live, laboring to eat and drink precisely
what is good for them," and nothing
else, are 80 weakly and miserable. The
cause of fai. ure is that such persons are
over-careful; life is burden to them
They have ne" ego" in their mode Of
existence.
One half of the "dyspeptics 1--WE see
and whose suff;erings we are asked tt
relieve, would be well if they we're only
happy. Everything in life and nature
acts and reacts in a circle. Be happy
and your sympathetic ganglia will have
the blood coursing through them will
the bound of health; and this quicken
ing of the pulse, if it be produced by
good cheer" whether at the table OF
on the mountain.side, will, in Its turn
produce happiness. Felicity is the out
come of physical state, and that STATE
is itself enhanced by the sort of cheerful
ness which often consists in being happy
In spite of circumstances. Charle'
Dickens was in his way philosopher
and he exemplified the truth now OK
pounded by scientists in the Inning O
