To doctor thorn, la seemingly only fighting
tho docreen of fato,
I had Intended aomo especial thoughts for
this correspondence, but a stray shot from
one of your Home-Circle correspondents
changed my programme, In my article of
July 9th, I said I would sooner aeo my wlfo
and other good-looking females enfranchis
ed, and would rather go to the polls with a
eqaad of Intelligent and well-olad ladles,
than to stand In a crowd of all colors of tho
sterner lords of creation, enveloped In tho
fames of cigars and bad whisky, and see
them deposit ballots which oost but a dram,
Ac. In your issue of July 18th I read thus:
" Your Ohio correspondent would ratbor go
to tho polls with 'my wifo and othor good
looking femalos,' than with tno sternor lords
of croitlon." Tho garbled oxtract ovlnood
nothing but a reckless wasto of quotation
nuks. Tho torm "fomalo" was what so
seemingly manglod tho footings of II,, and
lot mo look at that. That my wlio, my mo
thor, ovory lady, and my pot oritio, Is, or
aro, romaios, 1 vorlly oollovo, and If they aro
not thorn Is somothlng wrong. That I did
aot mean animals in onfaanohlsomont, la ov
idont, as I In tho samo case spoko of voting
with a squad of ladlos (I moant female la
dles, too) for by tho uso of tho term female
I can take out tho ladiea and leavo tho bal
ance, If any. My orltlc's greatest blunder
was In showing the male lady, In trying
to institute a olaaa of her own sex upon
which gentlemen could use the term " fe
male" reproachfully. I do not for myself
covet such aa opportunity, for I would rath
er see eyary (female) lady elevated equal to
or a little higher than us male men, gentle
men, sterner lords of creation. Mow I have
no disposition to quarrel with Murray's
Grammar, or Ood Almighty, who, Instead
of saying lie made a gentleman and a lady,
aaya " malo and fomalo created he thorn."
Now the beautiful nosegay or blossom at tho
cIoho of this Intellectual outgrowth, that I
and others " did not understand tho term
femalo', " and that " Igiiorauoo was not
bliss," I loavo Juat whsro uiy fair
friend planted It, that olther of
ns, If wo wish lo again, can onjoy It fra

tho wrath or dlnplensuro of Jennie Squash,
Hunan Jane Cauliflower, Cora Jlmsonwood,
or tho pootlo II., whose lack of a knowledgo
of tho prlnclplo of grammar draggod mo to

Over hero, Just now, thoroseemsa groat

persuasion havo stepped nobly to the front.
They are going from own to town, followed

whoevor has not bosn to a colored camp,
mooting has been to no camp-meetiug at all,
and If he or ahe be an Oregonlan, let him or

quake, the only thing that oan beat the camp

A SEW QUARTZ MILL.
A correspondent from Fortland,under date
of September 7th sends ui tho following nc
count of a slmplo quartz mill lnvonted by
Mr. Salmon, of that city, which it is thought
will bojust tho "choose" for Oregon mines,
It Ih to bo hoped that It will accomplish all
that is claimed by our correspondent and tho
Invonlor, Hero Is what tho writor says:
So many practical tests havo been mudo
by scientists, with as many difloront ma
ohlnos, for the reducing of quartz for amal
gamation, that it now neemt (after watching
tho maohlno wo spenk of, work) Hint all oth i

faot that It Is tho champion quart, mill of the

Hndlesschnln, which runs uroutid thr cv n
dor In grooves to a horizontal shnft abovf
with corroNpondltig grooves which admit n
tho cylinder playlnj; enough to provont
hroaklng from tho strokes of tho hauitner.
which consists of a whool about one-third
tho dlamotor of thooyllndor,rovolvlngnbout
four hundred tlmos to tho cyllndor onco, on
n shaft extending through tho cyllndor to
boarlngs on tho outor framo; on olther sldo
of and around tbo cyllndor aro placed
tho wlro scroons to sift tho flno dust,
The sldo scroons aro sot at such an anirlo
that all tho conrso pieces will fall back
to bo rocrusbod, Tho groat foatures
of this machlno aro, Its simplicity, durability
and cheapnoss; it can bo carried to the most
uilucuit piacos on pauK mutes, (as mo oyiiu
dor is mado with stovo-llko barrels). Almot
any man could allbrd to buy one, as tho cost
will bo suroly five hundred por cent, less
than any othor machine It has boon ostl
matcd (and pretty thoroughly provon by tho
working model) that a machlno of this kind
of tho capacity of a four-stamp mill can bo
run by two-horso powor, thooaso with which
It rnns is easily oxplalned. Tbo chains that
carry tho cylinder aro completely equalizers
of the friction that pertains to hoavy bodlos.
Mining ox ports, like tbo Inventor, claim It to
be a big thing. All credit Is duo Mr. Salmon
for his untiring energy" In the prosecution of
this invontlon to Its completion, and we pro
dlot for bis machine a hearty welcome to the
many leads of Eastern and Southern Oregon.
We hope Mr. Salmon will take his machine
to tho State Fair that others, moro compotont
Judges than ourselves, may pass Judgment
upon tho working of this truly wondorlul
machine. A cordial invitation is extendod
to all wishing tosoe the mill in operation, to
call at tbo Portland ice works.
Tennyton'i Place in Literature.
Tennyson has thoroughly oxpnrloncod tbo
two oxtremo Dhasos of the world's ronard.
For twolvo years after bis first appearance as
a poot, no was quiony ovenooxoa oy tno
public, and was treated to moro dorlslon
than criticism by tbo literary Journals.
Whon his popularity onco struok root, It
grow rapidly, and in a fow yearn bocamo an
ovorshadowlng fashion. Slnco tho publica
tion or his first Idylls of tbo King, it has
boon almost consldorod aa a borosoy, in
Kngland, to quostlon tho perfection of his
pootrv: ovon tbo sin of his art canto to bo
rogardod as Its spoolal vlrtuo. Tho ostlmato
of his performance rose Into that extrava
gance which soonor or later provokos a re
action against Itsolf. There are, at prosont
signs of tho beginning of auoh a reaction,
and wa need not be surprised if (as In liyron's
case) It should swing past tho hue of Justice,
and end by undervaluing for a time many
of the poet's high and genuino qualities.
This Is the usual law of a literary famo
which baa known such vlolssltudes. Its
vibrations, though lessened, continue until
Time, the sure corrector of all aberrations of
human Judgment, determines Ha moveless
filaoe. And Tennyson's place ;in the lltera
ure of the Kogllab language, whatever may
bo Its relation to that of the acknowledged
masters of song, Is sure to bo high and per
manent. Uayard Taylor In tho Internation

SriniTS op Ammonia. Thoro Is no tolling
whatathlnir will do till you try It. I know
ammonia, diluted In water, could restoro
rusty silks and oloau coat collars, but when
1 got a green spot on tho car pot, I tried half
a dozon things boforo I thought of that, and
that was Just what did tbo work oUectually.
I putateaspoonful Into a toacupful of hot
walorand took a cloth and wot tho spot
thoroughly Just rubbing It slightly, uud the
ugly spot was gone. It lasplondld forclcau
lug your silver; It makes things as bright ns
now witiioutany exponuituro ol btroiigtu;
and for looking glasses and windows, It Is
best of all; and oue day whon I was tlrod
Hint my dish cloths looked rather groy, I
turned a few drops of ammonia Into the
wator and rubbed thorn out. and I found It
acted like a charm, and I shall bo sure and
do so again some day. I suppose houso
wives have a perfect right to experiment and
see what results they oan produce; and If
tboy are not on as large a soalo as the farm
era try, they are Just aa Important, and make
our work lighter and brighter too.

The Example of Great Britain at the
Centennial Exposition.
Of nil forelRii countrioB, Greitt Britain
wns foremost in tho completeness iintl
tho cordiality with which tho invita
tion of the Centennial Commission was
met. The regrettable speech in which
Senator Sumner urged that England
would resent being nsked to participate
In lha colouration of her own humilia
tion and defeat, would appear to havo
appealed strongly to tho manhood of
thatnoblo nation." In every way and in
every pluco thoofllcinl representation of
(laeat Britain at the Centennial of
American Independence, whether in
Fairmount Park or at Independence
Hall on July 4th. while tho grand-cm
ofltichtird Henry Leo read out tho dec-1-iration
and tho bands played Yankee
Doodle, was thoroughly worthy and
dignified. Tho British Commissioner
bore themselves, from first tolast, as If
they had a warm interest in tho success
of tho Exhlb tion, nnd rendered to the
Administration a hearty and sympa
thetic Hunnort on nverv occasion of em
barrassment or difilculty. To Bay tho
conduct of "tho mothor country" was
complimentary to the United States, Is
to say the least thing that could ho said.
It was moro and better. It was honor
able to herself, and did honor to the
community of nations.
From tho French and Gorman Gov

lottcr attributed generally to him, his
Influence was unmistakably disparag

Donald McKay, now going through

tho following story, among others:
"i'vo nothing moro to do at homo
than say, 'Jack, you go nnd fetch mo
in some cord-wood,' nnd away he'd go,
and keep carrying it in till 1 tell him
to stop. And ono day, in my placo, I

Jack aud told htm to go nnd fotch in

Well, I went out to soo what was tho

FARMER
FEMALE BEAUTY.
How eagerly men are engaged in the
mirsultqfbentitlful women, and how lit
tle do they drenm of its brief existence I
This Ih. undoubtedly, in obecllcnco to a
.1.1..;.,, o n.l I,, Milu imirer
woufcl bo well to remember tlint there
aro qualities of far moro Importance than
mere personal charms. True, we may
be faclnated with a dark, IjiBtrous and
beautiful eye, tho erlnibon blush or the
crimson cheek, a graceful, symmetrica
form: but after all, the inquiry should
he, "Is there a soul within ? Is thorp ele
vation of thought, generous principles,
nobln purposes, a cultivated intellect?"
If not, what else would it woman of beau
tiful personal appenrnnco be but as a doll
or gilded toy V How long could a man of
genius be Induced to worship at such a
shrine? How long beforo his ailections
would assume the form of hatred or con
tempt ? Powerful passions and strong af
fection invariably accompany the man
ofgenltiB. Hence, It is clear that unless
personal charms envelop a cultivated
mind us well ns tho sterling qualities of
virtue, the noblest Impulses of affection
In such a man will soon be extinguished,
and his fondest hopes blasted, In the se
lection sfit partner for life. Nothing Is
more desirable to a man of genius in this
lifotbnn tho nrtlent nilbctlons of a good,
sensible woman ; and, on the other
hand, no of luring on eartli Is so accept
able to a wo am n ns tho slncerest affec
tion of a man or genius und truth.
A GOOD NAME.
Whnt nfter death Is dearer to your pa
rents, nnd brothers, wives and children
than your good name ? If your life has
beeu a noblo one, tho enjoyments you
have reaped therefrom will not be for-
gotten when lifoebbs away, but will ever
oof value to those from whom it has
been tho will of Providence that you
should be parted. Your noble traltf on
earth, attained from whatever persult
you nave followed, remain most com'
mondable recommendations for your fol
lowers. Therefore it becomes every man
woman or youth to leavo a good lmpres
slon beuind tticm. Truly it is not too
easiest thing In the world to do this,
when wo consider tho endless reverses
that ho or sbo Is obliged to contend with;
but It can be done by ceasolcss energy,
perseverance nnd truthfulness.
To nn ambitious youth who has In his
mind's oyo a position of honor in this
busy world, tho namo nnd character of
his deceased parent is of considerable sig
nificance, especially in business life,
whero tho overy-dny merchant places
unbounded confidence in his employe's
paternal standing, It Is nn undcnlnblo
fact that tho greater number of the busi
ness meu of to-day adhere to this point
when it devolves upon them to employ n
hand to do Important work. Positions of
trust demand that virtue in every partic
ular Is preferable. By leading a life of
respect you not only do Justice to your
self, but to your successor also.
FORQETFVLMESS.
A great deal of harm Ib done through
forgctfulness. A little thoughtfulncss and
care with respect to others would often
save them from a great deal of suffering,
nnd aid them in their work. A man is
discouraged In consequenco of tho diffi
culties ho meets with. An encouraging
word may bo nil that Is necessary to re
vivo his energies, and to cause him to
persovero. That word were easily spoken.
There aro thoso who ore perfectly willing
to speak it, but they do not think of it.
They are busy with their own work. Tho
discouraged ono sinks into deeper des
pondency, not through their heartless
ncss, but their want of though tfulneRs. A
young man Is exposed to temptation. Ho
is about to tnko a step from which a lit
tle, lulltienco of tho right kind will save
him. There aro numbers among his ac
quaintances who coultl exert that Influ
ence. Hut they do not see his danger, or
nro so busy that they must leavo him to
the caru of his other friends. Ho takes
the step, and It leads to his ruin. A llttlo
ellort rightly put forth would have saved
him.
MOTHER AND BON.
Thero is no tie In tho world more beau
tiful than that which binds a mother aud
a son grown old enough to bo her protec
tor. A daughter loves her mother, In
deed; but she sees all her defects, as ono
woman alwayB does thoso of auothcr. No
doubt, with tho unconscious arrogance of
youth, she exaggerates them, ilut tho
sou loves his mother with an Ideal love
he sees her as a man sees a woman, that
is to say, through a certain halo of mys
tery. Kovorence lain his feelings for her.
nnd at tko aano tluio a bouso of her need
of his care he is at onco her knight and
her son. He la proud of her and fond of
her at tho samo tlmo. Her imago Is sa
cred In his mind. Bhe may not bo better
than other women, but she seems so to
him.
GAIETY AND GOOD HUMOR.
It Is Imagined by many that whenovcr
they aspire to pleaso they aro required to
bo merry and to show tho gladness of
their souls by flights of pleasantry und
bursts of laughter. But though these
men may be, for n time, heard with
upplauso ami ndmlration, they sel
dom delight us long, We enjoy them
a little, and then rctlro to easi
ness and good humor as tho eve
gazes awhile on eminences glitter! nir

good humor as nnlmnl perfumos to vege

weak spirits, aud tho other recreates and
revives them.
