AM KXA tt i'l.V, &'<m C.EKI.N. Just now when examples of great inou are boinu circultiUid through the rowrpjipers, ii worthy young ladv occurs to 'j:1!- mhul whose cxanjj»l it would be wei! for girls every where to einuliite. Mus 8op'iie Brandkamp, youii"* huly wet! known in (,'rawfordsvillj, has just graduated with high honorti "ro,a the Oxford Female Institute. Wucu ii it known that Miss Brandkiirap is a poor girl—had nothing but her own strong will and determination to succeed—it is indeed gratifying to know that notwithstanding all her struggles against poverty, with but little encouragement from those of whom she should most expect encouragement, that she has at last come off more than conqueror. Miss Brandkamp has worked her wav up, just as eminent men and women everywhere have worked their way to distinction. She is nour prepared for the duties of life, whether it be in the schoolroom or elsewhere, and in whatever profession she may choose in life we have no doubt of her success.

THE WOMEN PASS BETTEK EXAMINATIONS THAN MEN.

A competitive examination of applicants for three vacancies in the grade of second assistant examiner of patents was recently conducted at Washington. M. B. Phillips of Cin cinnati J. Parkinson of New Hampshire, and W. B. Singleton of Virginia were the successful men. Commissioner Fisher has also thorough^ examined ail the clerks in his office, as well as those who were applicants for appointment, and the force is now made up of the most competent persons.

rl7ic

women as a clas?pass­

ed better examinatiu on the same questions than men In the scale of one hun Ired, but one woman was marked below forty, while there were forty-one men belo"v that figure.

Truly glad to write myself

Lome"' in dear old Crawlbrdsville, and with renewed enthusiasm for the Heading lioom, in the absence of the Secretary I take the liberty of sending you an account of Saturday's meeting. The attendance was unusually large and a large amount of business was transacted. Many ol the elderly ladies having objected to the two "flights of stairs," leading to our pleasant rooms in Mr. Kenyoifs gallery, and Mrs. Mary Wilhite having generously offered us a room on Washington street, it was unanimously decided that we would change our local habitation. Mr. Kenyon has ever been so kind and courteous that with real earnestness a vote of thanks was tendered him, and with real regret we leave the rooms around which center so many pleasant associations. We hope in time to render our new room equally attractive and to induce many more of our ladies to enjoy our excellent books and magazines.

We received a new member to-day. Mibs Pliebe Smith from Yountsville We extend to her a cordial greeting and hope to see others from the surrounding town 3.

A grand fancy dress picnic was decided upon to which all are invited. Just imagine the beautiful woods adjoining the race traek filled with gipsies, Indians and flower-girls imaijiDe, and then come and see if the reality does not surpass your thought Ice cream and lemonade, music and croquet will be furnished at small cost. Any who may not desire to prepare dinner will be provided for at a cost of fifty cents. For other particulars see

Journal.

We were honored by several visitors among whom was master Trotty Thomas, whose earnest "aye,1' in response to a vote, the first male vote ever offered in "Sorosisproduced a noticeab'e sensation.

Notwithstanding the Summer heat the Reading Association thrives and progresses. Come and see if we speak not the truth.

THAT AlLAttSB ABOUT "WHERE." Being of rather a sympathizing disposition I beg a space in your columns to say a word of consolation to M. A. Me., who seems to be in a deplorable state of mind about "Woman's Rights.'' In the

As for women crowding the dirty village streets with "twiching nerves." O do not let that alarm you, for when women vote all things will be managed nicely and in order. A woman can step up and vote with as much grace as she can step into the postoffice and deposit a letter.

You ask if when woman votes, she will split rails, go to war and perform all the other physical labors of man, and fancy that they would complain of failing strength in Uiat situation, and, if she is unable to perform man's physical duties she must not undertake his intellectua labors. That is a new idea, that physical strength is of more importance than intelleciual. I know that the cane and fist have been made use of in the legislative halls, but supposed that intellect was necessary also to make a statesman. I do not suppose that Mrs. Livermore or Mrs Stanton can split as many rails as Pat or Sambo They cannot tell one letter from another, these Pats and Sams, 3?et they are qualified to make laws that govern all the gifted women in our land. 0, woman, if you only poscssed physical strength!

You say there will be no sue!i thing as domestic happiness if wo men vote. Domestic happiness would be improved by the vote instead of lessened. Husband and wife will love each other better, and Indiana the champion State for granting divorces, will have less to do in that line.

There are those who are always harping about woman's sphere and and g'ving her advice 'how far to go and no farther," or she will be out of her sphere, when it is doubtful if they know where their own sphere is. There are women within ray knowledge in this State, and most of them within a few miles, who fill offices, store rooms, shops, pulpits and editorial chairs, and they are ladies in every sense of the word. I have heard this lady and her husband preach. He is proud ot her. She has much the better talent of the two, and like the rest of the ladies fills her office well. Do you call her any less holy, any less a true woman Will God smile on her less because she is not only a missionary at home but abroad? You say that in that great day "woman will be smiled upon by her God no less than man, but if she votes or preaches I suppose you think she wi'l receive no smiles.

In conclusion, let me say that women should' be tbaukful that your opinion will make no difference with their God. m. T.

JOUKNAJ,

of

May '27, he, or she, says '-there are those who would revolutionize the social fabric without considering results." M. A. Me., you for one I should judge had considered, and that seriously. You appear to be intH'h alarmed, asking women if they will "stoop below their level in tneir vain thirst for fame." Calm your fears, M. A. Me., woman will never stoop lower than she is to-day. Her aim will rather be to grow wiser and better, each coming cm nin thirst for fame, indeed 1 was not aware before that it is fame thai women are seeking. I would advise you to attend the next Woman's Rights Convention and get enlightened. But suppose it was fame, has not woman as much right to fame as man Did the ballot ever degrade man No, never, and neither will it degrade woman. The slaves of the South were called degraded when their masters voted for them, but to-day when the former slave casts his own ballot, the world calls him a man. Did it degrade the negro to vote Is he stooping below his level
