And rtehly Uuliug the balmy air,

Thte dull, old frog with his dreary tone,
WtMfiadJr rattling his Idle moan.
Aiula I looked at his dark retreat,
I thought of home I have ehanced to meet.
Who clouded their lives with idle moans,
Marring the Joys of their friends with their

Oregon is a beautiful State in her
agricultural resources and manufactur
ing possibilities not excelled by any in
the Union. But on the highest moun
tains, in the darkest cations, deepest
forests or sunniest valleys wherever
white men have gone there the trail of
the serpent is seen ; there it glittering
eye sparkles in the brandy, foams in the
beer or flashes in the wine cup ; there
its slimy form has coiled around human
beings and injected its poison into their
vuns. Hits venomous serpent is no
respecter of persons, Rich and poor
learned and ignorant youth and old
ago are alike its victims. Prattling
children and beautiful women put out
their white hands to caress and toy with
it, in their innocence and ignorance not
dreaming that the purple wine and
medicated brandy now wreathed with
rainbow hues of hope will by-and-by,
in the dark and rainy days of life, be
transformed into venomous, stinging
serpents.
Thank God, there is a stir in the
camp. The watchers are asking, "what
of the night?" Patient mothers and
wives, lieart-brokcn, are waiting for
answer.
"While wearily watching for day
dawn, looking into the cold grey of the
morning, they find the sentinels asleep.
Tiie voices of the suffering poor, the
presence of death, nor the gloom of the
grave, has yet awakened the workers
and watchers on whom we depended
in whom we trusted. They are drugged!
We are betrayed! lung Alcohol has
won the day. His money his wine
has been too muehfo'r the guardians of
the public weal.
In whispers the questions have passed
around, Are we not the mothers of
mon the wives of men the sisters of
men? Are we not sober, thoughtful
.women? Are not we and ours bene
fitted if the laws are good? Are we
not injured if the laws are unjust or im
properly administered?
Law is public opinion written in
statute hooks. We are a part of the
public "We have opinions. Men ex
press their opinions witli ballots. Af
ter that those opinions crystalizc into
writteu law. To help protect and save
men and our children from the slimy,
coiling serpent of legalized whisky and
wine drinking the thinking, heart-sore
women of Oregon demand the ballot.

Women Tax-Payera.
BV MATILDA JOSX.VJT CACE.
Let us look at this question of taxa
tion, ir women are entitled to property
at all. they arc entitled to be consulted
as to its disposal. A person does not
really possess anything, if it is liable
to be taken away by the will of others.
Property representation was for ages
the law of England, both for man and
for woman. The very fact of the colo
nies being deprived of this projwrfy
representation was what brought about
the Revolutionary war. and when prop
erty rights were made the foundation of
me demand for other rights, "thev
buildcd better than they knew."
That taxation without representation
was tyranny, was a fundamental doc
trine of the women of '7G. In 1770, six
years before the Declaration of Independ
ence, the women of New England made
a public combined protest against taxa
tion without representation; and as tea
was the article upon which Great Brit
ain was then expending her strength,
these women of the American Colonies
united themselves Into a league, and
bound themselves, to use no more tea in
their families until the lax upon it tras
repealed. This league was formed by
the married women, but three days af
terwards the young ladies held an anti
tax meeting. These young ladies pub
licly declared they did not take this step
for themselves alone, but they protested
against this taxation as a matter of
principle, and with a view to benefit
their posterity. These public protests
against taxationwere made Hiorc than tirt
years before the commencement of the
Revolutionary M'ar. They, also, were the
real origin of the famous Tea Party in
Boston Harbor, which did not take
place until three years after the public
protest of the women. The women of
to-day are the direct posterity of the
women of the Revolution, and as our
fore-mothers protested against "taxa
tion without representation." so do we.
their descendant, protest against being
taxed without being-represented.

Gentlemen, if you did not allow the
votes of those ten women who olferctl
them at your Charter Election, because
tney ircrc ftwni, pray be consistent,
and io not tax tiiem for the same rea-,
son. All the authority yon get at all )
for taxing women, is through the words
'men,' "he," "his," and the like. It .
is curious to see by what sophistry
I'inen," "he" and "his," are made to
include women, when men deem it for

their own interest that they should
have such bearing, and equally curious
to see by what turn they are made to
exclude women, when the executors of
law sec fit to read these words so as vol
to mean women.
Let us read the law by which our As
sessors and Collectors get their right to
assess taxes in this State or Jew oik:
Statutes at large, page 301, Article 1st,
paragraph 1st, rends thus: "Every per
son shall be assessed in the town or
ward where 4he' resides when the assess
ment is made, for all lands owned by
'him,' within such town or ward, and oc
cupied bv 'him,' or wholly unoccupied."

would not, In so doing, be guilty of a
greater wrong than was perpetrated
in this village the 20th of July, when
the ten tax-iaying women who offered
to vote, were refused, and through them
the whole eighty-five tax-paying wom
en of the corporation were aha re
fused a voice in regard to the use of their
uim jirvjCTi'.
This question of woman's demand for
representation is a question trointr linnk-
not only to the foundation of our Gov
ernment, but to the very existence of
woman as a responsible human being.
Self government i3 no more the right of
man than or woman, tor It Is a human
right. The history of our own country,
the history of the world, shows the rights
of any class are not safe in the hands of
any otner class, 'iiic rights of life, the
rights or liberty, the rights orproporty
of the colonists were not safe m the
hands of the British. The rights of the
slaves or of the free men of color were
not safe when the power of self-protection
was not in their own hands.
It is simply imposslblo for any person
to do as well for another person as that
person will do for himself. A woman
is more interested in the economical
management of her own property, than
any man, or set of men can be; a woman
Is more interested in the security of her
own life, than any man, or set of men
in be; a women is more interested in
the enactment of just laws for herself
than any husband, father, orsoncan be.
There is no protection quite equal toself
jirotection. When woman holds the
ballot in her own hands then she can
protect herself.
Do They?
It is the opinion of Elizabeth Stuart
PheliN, "that women dress to plc:isc the
men."

When that good time comes in which
it will Ihj no unusual thing to read E. G.
Stevens & Daughter, Conveyancers, and
Dick & Wile, Dealers in rroduce, irocns
and furbelows will be subordinated to
deeds and dried apples, and if it be
necessary for the men-partners to wear

the thrift of the business, it will be
equally necessary for the woman-part tier
to wear out-of-date garments, anil sho
too will hear the prediction from femi
nine lip, "She'll be a rich woman."
A successful woman of business is
spared the criticisms which sting the
idle, aimless one. Society recognizes
something in her beyond the reach of its
eyes and tongue it sees that a purpose
in life guides and guards her it feels
that ceaseless waves of fashion sweep
over her, nor leave a trace behind. There

should be tricked out like a doll, and a

Woman's Eights.
Allow me to give my platform of
oman's Rights, begging pardon for the
use of a very manish term, which I use
for the sake of brevity.
All I claim for woman is the removal
of theinterdict. Acceptherasa citizen.
Now she Is denied the rights of citizen
ship and all the lumbering legislation of
centuries will not adjust her relations
harmoniously in the world till tbi in
justice be removed. She cannot be pro
tected fully till she is thus recognized.
She cannot reach the true dignities of
iter oeing tin sue is invested with the
sanctities and privileges of a good citi
zen. Remove the Interdict. Make our
wives and mothers and sisters at full age
citizens, and they may vote or not vote,
as our brothers vote or abstain from
voting.
Every shade of character exists among
women. I leave these to find their true
relations. The family woman soft, de
pendent, instinctive will gather her
pretty brood about her and nestle to the
fireside; tho woman of cold intellectu
ality will be loth to make the domestic
altar the arena for mereintellcctualism.
Tho composite woman will range the
whole sphere of thought, imagi
nation or passion. I leave these to their
career as the world finds them at present.
I meet the facts of life as I find them. I
see the present social system tottering
to decay. I will not help to bolster up
what is false in it, but by casting out
aspects that have ceased to be in harmo
ny with our higher progress I hope to
arrest the introdution of what is iernie
ious. At least one-half the women of the
country aredriven to theirown resources
for a livelihood. Hundreds are engaged
in teaching at a miserable pittance. The
proportion supjioscd to bo adequate re
muneration for teaching compared with
other expenses in a family, may be a
little intrinsically reached by comparing
the Items of expense in the letter of Mr.
Folsom, Minister to the Hague, where a
plain Yankee official pays $400 for wine,
and $223 per year to a governess. Mo-.t
of the larger schools are projected by
nicn, and women fill the various de
partments at the lowest possible rates.
I contend that the law must looeu its
hold upon us. Our women artisans,
farmers, merchants, lecturers, authors,
must not rank with idiots, lunatics, or
children as they nowdoin nearly all the
States. This is all I ask; and yet the
country is in alarm; simple, pious souls
aggrieved, as if I were a blasphemer;
editors sharpen their keenest pens to
annihilate me on the point of a para
graph; husband forbid their wives to
hear me; little children are told of "a !

husband to fill the ofllce of a private
citizen, and a private one, according to
the wishes of his friend and neighbors,
or the people at large, it is safe also for
women. If man looks to the construc
tion of his own being as the foundation
of the laws by which he is to be bound,
women should be allowed to do the same.

Woman's Riohts. Two young ladies
of Heading, Mass., members of the
Bethseda Congregational Church in that
place, being grieved on account of the
debt of $4,.VX) which had been afflicting
the Church for five years, nwo up and
went at it with a subscription paper.
They divided it into shares of ten dollars
each, and vi.-Hed first the young women,
then the young men, then their eider
sisters and brethren; and by dint of
much prayer and perseverance they
have succeeded in wiping it all out. It
would be interesting to know whether
women are allowed to vote in that
Church; and, if not, how largo a portion
of the voting membership can bo credited
with the sacacity and the devotion to
the welfare of the Church which these
two young ladles have evinced. Indc

Take the free-stoue yellow peaches, pare

to one pound of fruit. Place a layer of

so on. Stand it over hot ashes or coals
until the sugar Ls entirely melted ; then
boll them until they are entirely clear:
remove them, piece by piece, and spread
them on a disli free from syrup. Boil
the syrup alone until it jellies. When
the peaches are cold fill the inralmlf full
of them, and fill up with the boiling
syrup, set them away for a short time,
covered witli a thin cloth, then put on
brandy paper, and cover them cloe with
cloth, paper or skin. It usually takes
from thirty to forty minutes to preserve
them.
Save the Apples. Thcscarcityandhigh
price of genuine cider vinegar makes it
always a profitable articleof manufac
ture 011 farms which josse3S an orchard,
as every farm should. At this season
apples begin to fall from the trees, and
the quantity that might be saved by a
few minutes' work each day is some
thing wortli consideration. A small ci
der mill and press may now be pur
chased for ten dollars and upwards, and
where there are twenty trees in the or
chard, the amount saved by its use the
first year would equal its cost. After
every high wind sullicient apples might
be gathered for a grinding, the juice
might be turned into a cask and addi
tions occasionally made until it is filled,
when, after being properly converted
into vinegar and racked oil from thesed
inient, it would find a good market in
any town of considerable size. The pom
ace would be excellent for tho hogs, and
a small quantity placed in wide-mouthed
ootties or siiailow pans and covered witli
water would make very clllcient traps

A Goon one on Greeley. The fol

The Memphis Appeal calls the atten

following note, "in hone that lie will do

sailors Appeal: Seeing the name of
Horace Greeley in the columns of your
paper, I presume he Is the same elderly
gentleman who, when in Texas, would
trifle witli the feelings of a lone widow,
who lost her husband in the late war.
The exact words he used was, "lie came
to heal the wounds caused by the late
war, and he offered the hand of fellow
ship, that all parties be reconciled." As
a modest woman, I did not -accept his
proposal, although I intended to do so,
however, anil I have since learned that
the gay deceiver has a wife somewhere

This reminds us of a strikingly similar
adventure of our own. With the read
ers permission we will relate it, speak
ing 01 ourseif (.to avoul tne llrst person;
as Col. Cremony, who is an excellent
hunter, loves a joke, and will pardon
the liberty. Cremony was hunting
bears in the hills back of Oakland, witli
a good strong riata, when he came upon
one whoso weight could not accurately
be determined, but who appeared much
largerthanhewasexpectedto. TheCoIo
nel advanced to cast the noose. Bear sat
still. Colonel stooped and whirled his
riafrt threateningly. Bear stuck up his
head and shut his eyes. The Colonel
adjusted the noose to slip more easily.
Bear held up oncpaw. Colonel whirled
again. Bear did nothing. Colonel
looped the end of his thong about his
left wrist. Bear sat up like a statue,
and smiled a smile of resignation.
Colonel threw the noose a little way to
try it, and jerked it back. Bear got
down aud walked slowly toward him.
Colonel retired, so as to preserve a good
throwingdistance, whirling menacingly.
Bear trotted. Colonel whirled once,
wildly, and then spread the noose out
on theground, takingan additional turn
of the other end about his wrist. Bear
came forward took the riata in his paws,
placed the noose about ills neck, tight
ened it, lay down and shut his eyes.

for the use of his name, we conclude by
promptly asserting that no bear in Cali

have made up our mind to go away.

correspondent of one of tho Chicago pa
jiers write3 from San Francisco a chatty
letter, in whicn occurs mis;
You might as well attempt to go up a
garret without a stairway as to ascend
into higher circles of California society
without ostentatious wealth. As for
dress, San Francisco ladies surpass us
all. I have seen luindsomcr women, and
more elegantly arrayed in that city, than
I ever saw In any other. Velvet dresses,
laces and diamonds, with furs that
Oueens might envy. The writer further
says of these vulgar and ill-bred women:
They liavc a way or staring people out
of countenance, which, however agreea
ble at first, soon becomes monotonous.
I have seen them turn in their seats at
theater or concert, and regard an imme
diate neighbor minutely, every article
of dress commented upon audibly, and
every hair-pin and bow counted until,
to the unfortunate victim, tho legends
of the Inquisition paled into nursery
rhymes."
Weclip the following, "oni,"!?u&
for its truthfulness: "Moths nw be
kept out of furs ainl woo en olothos b
