From the Oregon Good Templar.l


Ed. GOOD TeBlptGr:-In n late issue of
your paper there was a correspondence
from Junction City, signed Van, which

the women justice. In the first place we
will admit that DIR. Boswell and Dickey
Henderson are good temperance lee
turers, but they can neither of them,
Notwithstanding one of them has been
to Congress, compare works with Mrs.
Carrie +. Young in the temperance cause,
and by works are We to judge this tenn
peranee movement and not by flOwery
speeches, Notwithstanding she can make
as good n speech as either of them. You
speak of good sister throwing bomb
shell into the camp at Salem, and in
the next place compare her to the devil,
or rather say the devil appeared through
her. Now, sir, can you put so low an
estimate on woman as to compare her
10 devil, when you owe your existence
to woman, and are indebted to her for
your first and most noble ideas? You
say it would be just as disgracefui for
women to hold Office and fight their
country's battles as for drunkards to
rule. Now we women never expect to
fight our country's battles on the actual
field only when men turn towards
and run, and we always teach our sons
to fight when their country calls them,
so there will be no necessity for women
fighting their cOuntry's battles on the
active field You talk about the disgrace
of women holding office; nov, sir, would
you be afraid of your mother or sister
disgracing themselves, put them in
whatever position you might? No, sir,
YOU are not uneasy about them, but il
/ is some other mans mother or sister
| that is going to be disgraced. Now, sir,
what would our lodges be without the
/ presence of women, sir? You know
I full we'll that should we withdraw from
them to-day, twelve months hence

places. Sir, do you suppose that there

is not one. Give us the elective fran
chise and We will do away with King
Alcohol forthwith, and then there will
be no drunkards for us to recognize as
gentlemen. Now, kind reader, which do
you think is the most natural andquiek-
est way of destroying one of the greatest
curses which the human family has
ever had to contend with, to have the
ladies not recognize drunkards as gen
tlemen, or give the ladies the ballot and
let them, as they surely will, vote it out
Of existence? 1t is deplOrable, as you
say, for sixty thousand drunkards to go
down to drunkards' graves annually,
but none deplore this more than the
mothers of our land, and none are more
ready and willing to change affairs, and
will it not be the case? But such men
as you are just in the way of this great
temperance reform-yOu are only n
brake on the wheel of progress Now
you may say this can all be done with
out The women voting; if so, why have
you not done it? The fact is, it never
can be done so long as policy party poll
ticians rule, and political power is
sought for instead of just principles.





wrong to license an evil, but still it is
done and will continue to be done until
the women who suffer the most thereby
are allowed to go trailing to the polls,n
as you say, and then and there vote it out
of existence, and all the license laws
with it, and the drunkaris into sober
men as their Creator intended they
should be. Then we hope we can recog-
niZe them as gentlemen without wound
ing the feelings of Van. A WOMAN.

TREATMENT OF SMALL Pox.-In

on this coast, this item NAV be of use /:


"A great discovery is said to have been
recently made by a surgeon of the
British army in China, in the way of an
edeetual remedy for small pox. The
mode of treatment is as follows When
the preceding fever is at its hight, and
Just before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with erotOn oil and tar
taric ointment. This causes the whole
OF the eruption to appear on that part OF
the body to the relief of the rest. IL also
secures a full aud complete eruption, ana
thus prevents the disease from attacking
the internal organs. This is now the 19 es-
tablished mode of treatment IN tne Eng
lish army in China, and is regarded as a
perfect cure"

THE fkoftSAl-s AND Al ADVENTURE


Harry had intended to have remained

But as circumstances alter cases." so
it proved in his case. His friend, Clar-
ence Pierpont, who had complained for
a day or two of a severe headache, was
taken sick the day following their ar
rival with an attack of bilious fever,
which confined him to his bed for ten
days, and Blanche's party being about
to take place in the course of Another

ferred pleasure to a sick room, could

power to render his illness as eomforta-
BILE as possible. One or the other re-

Mrs. Hewitt scarcely knew how he was
getting along, so seldom did she inquire,
now that she knew he was out of dam
ger, till the morning after the sail was
proposed. Looking from the window
of her room she beheld Mr.. Pierpont,
with her son on one side of him and her
