iȣTI'riOiVS FOlt SUlTKAi.JT:. "We have very favorable reports from ike ladies who are circulating petitions for equal suffrage. The names arc coming in by hundreds. By some of the old fogies it has been promised us that as soon as we asked for the ballot we should have it. We hope that the hundreds of thousands of names that Ave have in readiness to present at the next session of Congress will convince them at last that we are in earnest. Make wav. gentlemen, we are coming.

SOROSIS SILVER BAXI). Crawfordsville has a new band •jailed the "Sorosis Silver Band." Jt is composed of three ladies and three gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Wilhite, Mr. E. A. Wilhite, Miss Caddie Wilhite, Miss Alice Wilhite, and Mr. Frank Wiihite. Wc know all of the parties to be accomplished musicians and feel confident of their success.

WOMAS SUFFRAGE lOJiVEXTlOA. The friends of Woman Suffrage are looking forward to a Convention some time in the early part of September, and are working with a will have everything in readiness.

What a Girl Can Do.

We cut the following from the LaSalle, 111., Union. We know it to be an authentic narrative, and see no reason why the heroine's name should not be given in full, as she is a prominent business woman of Bloominston Illinois:

One of the most notable members of the Illinois Normal University in the year 1863, was a young girl named She was a fair inathematician, a tolerable scholar aj .good-natured, rather quiet girl. She had no trouble in the lower classes, and it was not until she came to those rhetorical studies where composition is required, that she stuck fast and hopelessly. She could not write.! Every year she passed through the same examinations, failed exactly in the same place, was not allowed to graduate, and at the beginning of the next year took her place where she had commenced the year before, and with a docile perseverance that was funny to think of, went over and over the same round of studies with sober, demure and painstaking method.

She bid fair to be what a great many other girls become —the ordinary wife of an ordinary man. More than once the faculty shook their heads and declared that would never, the}' feared, become an ^earnest" teacher. For five years she lived

this purposeless, dull and objectless life, and then a change came. Her parents lived in Bloomington, 111., where her father carried on a furniture store. Ho was stricken uovvn by disease, and after a long and lingering illness died, leaving the oldest girl, her mother, a younger sister, ami two younger brothers, all of tbcni dependent upon their sis-^r a livelihood. People sympathiser'1, wit.i jer, —sympathy is so cheap— 'nt! came to the following charitable conclusions: 1st. That she -voidd have a hard time of it. 2d. That the best thing she could do would be to get married. 3d. That if she couldn't do that •she might be able to teach school.

And having thus settleU her case, they left her to her fate. Then the girl's nature asserted itself. Instead of selling off the stock which her father left, for what she could get, and living on it until something turned up, she hired workmen, put the stock to rights, and sold it at retail. People pitied her—but they bought her goods. People sym-

pathized with her, as if it were a dreadful tiling for a girl to do what in a boy would have highly commendable.

been thought

When her stock ran low, she astonished her friends by going to New York city, and buying a larger lot of furniture than any one ever be fore had had the hai'dihood to bring to Bloomiugton—and what is more, she sold it. For the first year the open sympathy and covert sneers of her friends were hard to bear.

"THE MTIONAL TRIANGM3." THE graduating class of Vassar i.'olfege of '69, numbers thirty-live, counting 0^0 decree given 1 or tlic scientific course. Eleven of the graduates woiv assigned orations. The "best, all things considered, was a other day we saw her, after seven

She succeeded, of course. The

years of hard work. The same oldfashioned, quiet, good-natured manner, the same .unpretentious, obliging and demure. And yet, she owns a store worth 818,000, in the upper story of which she began her labors, but which is filled from cellar to garret with her goods. She purchased a house some time ago, for .§7,000, and can sell it now for 310,000. She has $30,000 in real estate, with a stock worth 820,000 more, and all paid up.

This is the work of a girl still young, who, in school, was looked upon as only possessed of ordinary abilities. She is unmarried, and— she is strong minded: that is, she believes in women owning property, and not being tied down to what is called woman's sphere. Who can blame her

Had she taken the advice of those who consider that they have settled the great question of the age, she would be now toiling in the schoolroom, worn out, jaded and wretched, on a miserable salary of forty dollars a month. Instead of that she is free and independent, and rich while the rest of us who were considered smart, are grinding a!ong, editing country newspapers or starving. She is as unpretentious as ever—for the executive talent that could do so much is not one that blows its own horn.

IF Ave commit small faults without regret to-day, we will commit greater ones to-morrow.
