The woman's club of Washington, known as Wimodaughsis, is in state of mind over the color question:. As the regulations now stand, Wimodaughsis is the only club in the United States which admits white and colored persons on 8 social equality. It appears that the white woman might have entured this, but the admission of colored women means the admission at so- cial events of colored fathers, husbands, brothers and sweethearts, and that is lit- tie too much, especially for the southern members. The fight is confined at pres- ent to the board of directors, and the ma jority is in favor of admitting the colored women. If the majority has it's way, how ever, the minority proposes to have row and smash things. That would be great pity, for the vexed problem must be solved somehow, and if the women cannot solve it, what hope is there of settlement.

Is there code of newspaper manners This is one of the questions which George William Curtis will discuss in the Editors Easy Chair in Harpers Magazine for April. The code of newspaper manners, he says, is the universal code of courtesy, and not one restricted to the newspapers. Good manners in civilized society are the same everywhere and in all relations. If man is a gentleman, he does not cease to be one because he enters newspaper office, and 1t would seem to be equally true that if his work on the paper does not prove to be that of gentleman, it could not have been gentleman who did the work. A gentle man, we will suppose, does not blackguard his neighbors, nor talk necessarily about himself and his achievements, nor behave elsewhere as he would be ashamed to be- have in his club or in his own family. If gentleman does not do these things, of course gentleman does not do them in newspaper" ......

 Our sister correspondent of Coventry says if we will read the terms of the corn-growing contest between the pro- prietor of Spring Manor and Mr. Porter we shall see where we made 8 "mistate- ment'' in last weeks issue of The Press We stated there was small wager be- tween MT. Porter and proprietor of Spring Manor as to which could raise the larger number of bushels of corn on a given number of acres of land, not knowing or caring about the conditions of the wager. We fail to see wherein we made any "mistatement" in the matter, but are in- clined to think the correspondent might find the "mistatement" nearer home. Our fair correspondent may have had for. ty years experience in growing corn on worn-out pastures with good success, but we have found it necessary to have such land well subdued before attempting to raise crop of corn. We visited the field of corn in question last Saturday, and, whatever it's stature on the Eth of July can assure the Coventry scribe that il was higher than the stature of any mar or woman we know of, and not a weed to mar it's beauty or artificial means tc give it water. In plain view from the corn field was thirty acre field of rye around which was travelling reaper drawn by pair of excellent farm horses laying the grain in neat gavels for bind ing. We wished at the time, as we drove on to the field in company with, others that our lady friend and scribe were pres ent, that with us she might enjoy the beautiful scenery and admire the improve ment made by the proprietor of Spring Manor on his 45O acre farm, reclaimed from nearly barren waste.

UNION.

Cor. Putnam Patriot: As Deacon Myron Kinney, Milton Kinney and E. T. Whitmore were crossing pond in Union last week they were attacked by an army of pickerel. The Kinneys are not loud takers, but are full of grit, and they said "never, no never," will we be driven from this pond by anything the size of a fish. The battle waxed warm for seven hours, when the fish cried enough. The result of the fight was 60 dead pickerel, 15 of which wighed 27 pounds, the largest weighing B pounds; but the deacon had got up to the fighting pitch and declared, when we left the pond, that if he lived until September he would go up again and annihilate that whole tribe of pickerel.
