LOVE STRONG AS DEATH.

A mother watched with many a silent WherT^Astless, lay her child, with burning brow Fevered, yet weak, too 111 to recognlre Its mother's anxious lace and yearning One hour's neglect, and Death's cold, still Had touched with icy chill the little face But one omlsxlon of each needful care, And the dread angel had alighted there. Yet still the mother at her post was touad While days and nights diag on theli wc&ry round» Then ou the infant fell a restful slwp, And bappi tears the mothers heartconld The struggle o'er, In peace the babe drew And ^iffe Ve't.urned—for Love was strong as Death.

Embroidered Curtatns and Brush-Back. Very pretty and inexpensive cur tains can be made of cheese cloth, and the materials required for an ordinary sized window cost only about $1.5* They can be made with or without border, and are pretty either way.

Should the border not be used turn a hem three inches wide down th»front and across the bottom of the curtain. This should be caught down with herring-bone stitch in gold-col-ored eilk. The curtain is then em broi Jered over with rings, double rings they may be called, executed in chain stitch with embroidery silk.

Woman's Journal: The women of Racine, Wis., 8re enjoying a course of ectures from distinguished women VIrs. Julia Ward Howo spoke there December 1, and others are to follow. The lecture course in most western towns is made up by a committee of aaen, who to often give the women, who make a large majority of the aud lence, no choice in selection of speak ere. It may be a wholesome hint, if the majority should withdraw, have their own course, and select their own speakers. No doubt the "course" xrould in that case be a great improvement.

Miss Annie Miller, sister of the editor of the Hesperian, of Portland, Ore., has been added to the staff of r.hat journal. In making the announcement the latter says: "We recognize the fact that without womans assistance, wise counsel and intuitive knowledge, no substantial or enduring success can be attained and with the recollection of having been second best in all our juvenile con tests, it is with a sense of justice and pride that we ac-. ord to our sister ati equal place with us in our destined iife-work. If we may indulge iu a wish, it is that our friends, commenting on the success or improvement of he tlnsperian, may credit the praise to whom it is due."

"A WITLESS THING."

London World. •'A document in madness- thoughts and remembranoes fined."—^Hamlet, act 1*.. scene v. 'Now remember, Lord Grayton," said the doctor, solemnly, "ail I told you. You are yery welcome to our nail, though, as a rule, we only ask a certain set of wise men and maidens *ho know our ways and their ways. -Still, you are good-looking, humorous and cheery, and, if you are sensible, yon can enjoy yourself, and maybe do them a world of good. I believe in •dectricily as a .curative agent—not the quack nonsense of belts and chains and mnsical boxes, that only shake the nerve centers, but the real electricity of animal spirits, the tome of good health." ^, "I shall do exactly as I am bid,'" said Lord Grayton, a handsome, florid, muscular young man, Btrong as a horse, buoyant as a balloon, just back after a self-imposed exile of five years in India with the big game "but tell me of all these confounded cautionB again. I did a lot of dancing of various kinds years ago, before I went after the tigers"—arid he laughed, as mingled meirories of Mayfair and the Loftus Club swam back to him—"and I've tried both the Corroboree and the Salonga but, 'pon honor, I never 'lanced with a lunatic girl yet." '"Are you quite sure of th.it?" said the doctor grimly "they are to be met ?ith outside of Copswood, I can tell you. However, listen the rule is simple. Be civil and don't contradict. If old Crackton ask3 you to play chess, play. He's a good player, and will b'sat you fairly if he can if he can't ne'll make a false move and call 'checkmate,' and you must resign. If poor rinobby thinks you are prince and

Sirs' you all over the place, and throws out hints about being aaked to Sandringham if you are asked to listen to the chiming clock in Baker's interiors, or to avoid some one else, because he's glass and might break, you must do your best to be courteous to them all, and on no account laugh at their fancies." "Sounds rather jumpy. And the ladies?" "I'll see to that, and introduce you to the nicest, and tell you what to avoid speaking about, the men will uiake the talking for themselves, the women don't talk much." "Sign of insanity, I suppose. And what am I to talk about?" "Everthing save some one thing— the empress of Austria, or the stage, or white roses, or Mr. Mr. Mallock, or black stockings. I'll give you the cue —never fear only it may happen that, one of them will ask you to dance, and then you must steer as best you cantalk society or art on chance. My own girls and their friends get on famously *ith the male patients, and you mu -t do your best. Come, you are going to be our best tonic to-night, and you must be off and dress. Nine, sharp Miind, as they all go to bed at mid night." "Queer thing this," soliloquized as he completed an elaborate dr^sxinj*. beginning my first season after five years by dancing with a lot of lunatics. Hope they won wear straw in their hair if they do I shall bolt the Congletons' dance."

He had many strange adventure that evening as be strolled. about the pretty ball room at the Copswood pri rate asylum. He was duly defeated at chess by the venerable Crackton, who deliberately slid back a captured queen on the board, aud performed prodigies of valor with her. He sympathized with the gentleman who had swal lowed a crocodile, and he noticed tbe pale cadavetous man who amused himself by counting the lights on each side of the room and and singing softly to himself, "Sorry I can't admit it, sorry I can't admit it 1" He hadijeen an acrostic euttur once upon a time. He had noticed the fussy little man, with a pale-blue shaven face who wanted to stage-manage tbe sixteen Lancers, and who piteously entreated the dancers to "go back over all that again, please, and try aud get itcrisper and the erratic journalist who wrote paragraphs on his shir' cuffs, and many other strange folks that passed by in tho motley pageant of unsettled reasons. "There's King Lear," whispered the doctor, as "a very foolish, fond old man, fouo.score and upward," passed them muttering of "Brighton A's." "you know wrio he was?" and he whispered a name in Grayton's eai that made that nobleman whistle softly. "And are there any Ophelias, 'whose young maid's wit should be as mortal as an old man's life?' asked Grayton, showing tbat he knew his Shakspeare as well as the Doctor. "Yes, but we keep their secrets. How go and dance and the doctor took King Lear off for a cup of coffee.

It was a sad weird sight altogether, and aa Grayton watched it, it reminded him of Kaulbach's "Dance of Death," and he felt oddly morbid at* he thought of his own lonely life. He bad once loved and given his heart to a woman whom he had both idealized and idolized he had youth, brains and position, and with her he felt he could conquer the world. It was an old gtory she turned out to be as loveless as she was lovely, and he took to the tigers. He had got over it all now, but he shuddered as he remembered the fret of it al), and thought how near madness he had been driven when he heard of her ultimate fate, and where her life had drifted to. So there were Ophelias herel More like Audreys, he thought, as he watched some rather uncouth gamboling in a corner. His eyes wandered round the room, and rested at last on a face.

It was an exquisite oval face, some what sad and wistful expression, of that rare delicate olive color one sees in the south, with the skin of so fine a texture that the red flush springs up through the vein-tracery at a moment's excitement the large,brown eyes wertsoft and dreamy, tlie chisled mouth was half parted, and the dark-brown hair, looking black at night, was worn Greek fashion close to the head, sweeping in undulating lines passed th© tiny rosy-tipped ears. She was seated in a low sofa, carlessly clasping one knee with both hands. She wore a simple white frock, just mysteriously frilled around the little whit* column of a throat, and a great bl«ckred rose nestled in her breast. One little high-arched foot, in peach-colored netted silk, kept swinging to the music. No one seemed to talk to her except the doctor, who smiled pleasantly as he passed and said something to which she answered with a nod. "Ophelia at last," said Grayton to himself and in melancholy vein he wished he were Hamlet, and could lie at her feet and watch the play. "Poor Ophelia I divided from herself and her fair judgment 1" (the quotation was irresistible). I wonder what sent her here—some brute of a man, or a soldier-lover killed at Kassassan. Gracious! I hope this terrible Meg Merrilles is not going to ask me to dance!" and he moved away as he aaw a wild-eyed woman bearing down upon him, to a seat somewhat nearer the pale girl with the black-red rose.

For a time he watched her then he tried to magnatiid her. At last their eyea met he stared her full in the face. She never shrank from his lock, only a sort of pitying light seemed to" glow in the sorrowful eyeB. A moment passed, and then she rose quietly and with perfect self-possessed grace "walked over to him—to his intense astonishment sat down quietly by his side, and said in a soft musical voie-:

You seem sad to-night I am sorry." For a moment he was tongue-tied then he recollected his instructions an dpulled himself together. "Well, I think I was sad becausa you were looking Bad."

L'mce! With you?" ''U:i. yes. if you like, many of the others dance vou know." "How calmly she seems to recognise her Kid state!" thought Gravton, aa he stood up and passed her arm aronnd poor Ophelia's slender waist-, wondering bow she wou'd "jig and amble." Tiiey were playing the "Dream-Face®," and as they swung in undulating rhythm to the pretty «ona he felt tha few slips of the same 17 came up to her. "That's right," said the doctor, encouragingly "set a good example." "Means I'm to be a tonic, I suppose,' thought Grayton so he carried off Ophelia for an ice. "You dance beautifullv," she said. "'No, vou sit down and I'll get you tbe ice there now, there's a spoon and a wafer now you feel comfortable, don't you Isn't that a lovely valse "Yes, Fm fond of 'Dream Faces the people one meets in dreams are generally vastly nicer than the real folk.

"Well, you know, I think I'm married to a dream-wife—just like Gilbert Princess Toto, you know, with her dream-hus1 and. And she conies to. me sometimes and scolds me if I ve done anything wrong in the day and sometimes she'B veiy Living, and sometimes ehe'a cross and doesn't come near me for weeks."

He felt as if he were telling a fairy tale to a child. "How charmiog! Do tell me more other. Is she beautiful? Whatisshe like?"

The fanciful conceit seemed to amuse her, so he went on drawing pretty pictures of an ideal woman then growing unconsciously elegant, buret out, "Ah, if one could only meet her alive, what a wife she would make. A very second self aiding, sympathising, helping, love—at once the cheeriest of chums and the most idolized of idols."

She had flushed a little as he spoke, but she went on, "What a pretty picture 1 Where did you get your beautiful thoughts about marriage? "I suppose my dream girl taEght me." "Isshe pretty?"

Grayton wondered if deliberate, barefaced compliment would be a good tonic for a lunatic. "Yes, beautiful. She has large brown eyes, wonderful hair, a low voice, an olive oval face, she dances superbly, and she wears a black-red rose in her white dress.

Ophelia looked a little frightened. "Forgive me, I didn't mean to be rudo, but she is—really you are not with me?"—and he laid his hand gently on hers. "Ob no." Then there was a pause, "Come, and let me show vou some pictures I'm something of an artis tnvself anl she led him into a long ^a'llerv, and talked art so sensible and sympathetically that here, at all events, he felt there was a very pleasant method in her madness.

t»ly

for the pleasure of hearing her talk. There was a kind of innocent dignity about her that fascinated him. She was more like a vestal virgin than bacchante. So the evening passed, all too quicklv, till he suddenly be thought himself that there was an important division in the Lords that night, and that he wes bound to be a 'not content" before the clock struck 11, and after that he was due at Lady Conjileton's dance. "Mn=t you go away? she said "whv?" "Well, you see, I am one of those much-abused people that the Radicals call hereditary legislators, and I am not •iholished vet I must be in our house at 11."

Of course she could not have understood a word he said, for she murmured to herself, "Poor fellow 1 so young, too!"

He rose and held his hand out. o-ooj than]^ you. for .a very charming evening.' "Good night," said Ophelia, ten

"I should like a little memory of this meeting will you give me that rose? I've been longing for it all the evening "Of course I will why didn yon ask for it before?" and she took it from her dress and fastened it in his coat. "I shall see you again there will be another dance here soon. How is it that I never saw you before at one?" "This is my first dance here," he said, gravely.

Why it was that Ophelia's eyes suddenly filled with tears he couldn't understand, but she left him with a quiet bow, and went back to the dancing room. "You've been enjoying yourself, I see," said the doctor, as Grayton came to say good-by, "though I must say it was rather selfish of both of you." "Selfish 1 why, I did all I could for her, poor dear girl." "Poor! why, my dear Lord Grayton, she has six thousand a year of her own!" "Dear me! and what is done with it I "She does what she likes with it she helps all the big charities, and she helps me and Copswood in particular, and she does a lot of good to our poor people—picks up some one she takes a fancy to, and cheers him up a bit She's one of my best tonics, and this is t.he first time I noticed that she never danced once with a patent that was your fault, you know.' "Good gracious! Then she—"isn't— a—a patient herself?"

The doctor laughed till the tears oiled down his jolly face. "Bless my heart, no! That's Lady Mary Pettigrew, daughter of old Lord Polcmius, and she's just oue of the cleverest and sweetst girls in the world. I though you knew her." "Not I! She came over and spflke to me, and—" "I see it all—took vou for a patient! O, this is too lovely 1 and the doctor was positively boisterous in his merrimedt.

Grayton bolted to the House, and, having duly recorded his vote against the bill, sent up from the commons, tor chloroforming grouse instead of shooting them, betook himself in a strange state of bewilderment to Lady Congleton'8. His hostess welcomed him warmly, like the returned prodigal that he was, and insisted upon introducing him to some one in whom she seemed to have a special interest: "Really a delightful girl, Lord Grayton, quite after your own heart—devoted to art and philanthropy, you know.

Grayton waa too full of -thought to protest, so submitted meekly. What were girls to him just then He waa thinking over Copswood as his hostesB took his arm, ana they set cut on a pilgrimage. "Ah! here she is! Lady Mary Petti grew, Lord Grayton. I'm sure you two will get along capitally," and her ladyship was off, leaving Grayton staring yaguely at his fascinating lunatic.

Ladv Mary could hardly suppress a scream as she turned her bead and blushed as deep as the rose he still wore in his button-hole, "How—how did you get'oat?" she asked awkwardly.

I never was in, Lady Mary the fact is, I'm afraid there ha* been a little mistake on both udea. I only foand out from the doctor aa I left that you weren't a—"

She put her featherly fan np with a warning. "Hush!" then Baid, "What brought you there?" "Curiosity and yon "T often go there and try to do some good. I cheer them sometimes, but to-night! O, how wrong and stupid of mel

There was a little pause aa he looked at her with his frank, kindly eyee. "Let us forget and forgive, Lady Mary after all, yon were very good to poor Hamlet" "And you were very nice and kind to foolish Ophelia. Listen! there's the 'Dream Faces' again let's see if we can dance it in cur right minds," ah* said, aa ab« row with pwwu

WHEN NOT TO MARRY.

Thirty .Two Days In the Te»r That Ar* Unfavorable to Marrlaxe Contracts. Boston Globe. "I dreamed last night my brother wPS dead," said one of two shop girls tripping down Winter stret-t. "That's a sign there's going to be a marriage in the family," said her companion. "Did you cry?" "Did I? My goodness! I should think so. Who wouldn't?" "Then you ought to have counted the tears, and just as many tears as you shed it's just so many days before you'll be married." "Why, how funny! Did you ever try it?" "What a question, foolish! I ain't married, am I But then I cried lots and lots, and I couldn't count 'em, and's just as well, for 'spo*e it had come on a Friday. That ban awful unlucky dav." "Oh, donH talk about luck. There's mv cousin in Salem, she was married on Sunday—they sav that's the best of all—and what luck did it bring her?

A miserable husband, a divorce case, isn't mnch for luck." Overhearing all of which, the Globe statistician was reminded of a clipping stored in hie archives with the old playbills and tbe articles cut out to save that will never be wanted until the next day after they are burned. According to the clipping, which will be read with interest in view of the approaching leap year and the prospective matrimonial boom,thereare thirtytwo days in the year on which it is unlucky to marry, upon the authority of a manuscript dated in the fifteenth century. These days are January 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10,15 February 6, 7, 18 March 1, 6, 8 April 6,11 May 5, 6, 7 June7, 15 July 5, 19 August 15, 19 September 6, 7 October 6 November 15, 16, and December 15, 10, 17 Consequently January is the worst month and October the best month in the year for marriage. The records show, however, that in Boston, and the fact throughout New En gland, November is the banner month tor matrimony, October holding second place in nuptial favor. For this Thanksgiving day is mainly responsible. It has been consecrated to marriage festivals for many generations. Fast day is another favorite dny for connubial ventures, and with a large proportion of our population Easter Sunday is re garded as an auspicious occasion for tho welding of the matrimonial fetters. Thousands of couples have wedded New Year's week, unwitting the risk they run jyabove set forth and it is hardly to he expected that the publication of this list will increase the number of happy families or lessen the dockets of the courts.

Another Meiliuuiistic Fraud. Springfield Republican. Another "medium" has met exposure, this time in San Francisco, and it is the same old story. AMiss Elsie Reynolds gave materializing seances, and last August a faithful believer, named Militz, observed that the medium's husband, who sat immediately in front of tho cabinet, was talking through an elastic tube which down beneath his clothing, and Militz believed connected with the cabinet. That same evening Militz caught hold of one of the professed ghosts, and found it was a manufactured dummy. Mrs. Reynolds and some others got the dummy away from him, but he was so mad that he went out straightway and hired" a lawyer to prosecute the woman on the charge of obtaining money under false pretences. Mrs. Reynolds, whose maiden name was Eliza Dunbar, has a sh«dowy past behind her, it is aud, in Oregon, in Ohio in" IL, having boon detected in fraudulent manifestations in all these places, and the accounts of the latter two having been published in the Religious Philosophical Journal, of Chicago. The present exposure of her scampish practices in the San Francisco Chronicle is described as "thorough and circumstantial." One of her dupes is said to he G. E. Parsons, a journalist lately removed from California to New York, who has published in a Philadelphia spiritualistic paper a letter denouncing Mrs. Reynolds's accusers, and declaring that he has often, through her agency, been enabled to see and talk with a daughtar who died a year azo. But now a young woman. Mrs. Nellie Smith states that she was the representative of Parson's daughter at Mrs. Reynold's seances and at her own and Mrs. Smith's husband Jason, says that one night, directly after Parsons and his wife had been up to the cabinet to kiss their daughter, he was called up and found himself kissing his own wife. This is only a sample case—there are plenty every year.

Novel Reading Made Odious. St. Louis Spectator.

A bitter wag, made angry by the ever-increasing out-put of novels, has devised & new and malignant antidote for the appetite for romancc. He declares that he will write a supplement to every modern love story, to be sold at half price, setting forth tho matrimonial adventures and experiences of the hero and heroiue. The sweet and pathetic maiden with the mild-blue eyes and golden hair is to be developed into the fat and ruddy shrew with a tendency to quarrel with her husband and row her servants. The gallant gentleman with the long mustache, and the silver voice i?, on his part, to be ruthlessly pictured marching up and down his bedroom in air attire, with a squalling baby in his arms, redolent of sour milk and catnip. The will of the rich old uncle, which brings wealth and happinebs at the end of the first volume, will be proved a forgeiy.in the second. What with the upsetting of every pretty conventionality and the disclosure of the inevitable conditions into which no wellbred novelist ever follows his characters, this cynic hopes to make novel writing as unprofitable as it is a dark industry^

Rule* for tbe Journey of liife. Never ridicule sacred things or what others may esteem as such, however absnrd fhey mav appear to you.

Never show levity when people are engaged in worship. Never resent a supposed injury till you know the views and motives of the aut&or of it, and on no occasion relate to it.

Always take the part of an absent person, who is censured iu company, so far aa truth and propriety will allow.

Never to think worse of another on account of his differing from you in political and religious subjects.

Not to dispute with a man who is more than seventy years of age, nor with a woman, nor with any sort of an enthusiast.

Not to affect to be witty, or to Jest so as to hart the feelings of another. To say as little as possible of yourself and those who are near you.

To aim at cheerfulness without levity. Never to court the favor of the rich by flattering their vanities er their riches.

To Bpeak with calmness and deliberation on all occasions, especially of circumstrncea which tend to irritate.

Frequently to review your conduct and note your feelings.

I Talk with tbe Fa moos Advocate at Woman Suffrage. Washington Star.

Both parties are now looking for some distinguishing issue wnich will give them an excuse fer being, and the party whiph secures a vote for women will sain permanent power for itself. The Democrats, I think, will see this."

Speaking of her visit to Europe, she said that her travels were for rest and health and to learn the people. She said she had received a most cordial welcome wherever she went her reception in England being particularly kind. Her visit to Ireland, she said, had been especially interesting, as she had seen just how things were there. The people, she said,were in a pitiable condition, but it was plain that there must soon be a change. They would soon have their local government, as would also Scotland and the counties of England, all, of c-r urse, being dependent upon the crown. "Why, what do you suppose was going on in Dublin during my visit there? A large assemblage of people had gathered at a public meeting to prepare a memorial to Gladst6ne, asking that they might be allowed the privilege of electing tbeir own collector. Think of these poor people not having the power to say who shall fill the petty township offices! This would horrify an American—unless," she added, "he lived in the District of Columbia. Speaking of the District of Columbia," she continued, "I think you will be given the right of suffrage here, but it can never be secured to the men unless it be given to the women also."

Whims of Women.

Cynical Spanish proverb: "A wo men's tears cost little, but bring her much!"

The course of true love often runs smooth until it is wrecked by the wife's misplaced switch.

Women never will be paid as much for lecturing as men, simply because Uwiy _liave done -so .mnch—ftf_it Jor nothing.

The weak woman who is frightened halt to death at the sound of a pistol is not in the least degree alarmed by her own bangs. "Now, children," she continued "what is the meal you eat in the morn ing called "Oatmeal," promptly replied a member of the class. "Do you believe in woman's rights?" she demanded, jabbing him in the ribs with her umbrella. "Yes," he replied as he moved to a safe distance, "I be lieve in woman's funeral rites."

She said she wanted a ticket "to Wyandotte and return," and the pale gentlemanly agent, with the dark mus tache, asked as he took up the pasteboard "Single?" "It ain't any of your business as I know," she responded tartly. "I might have been married a doie'n times if I'd felt like providiu for some poor shiftless wretch of man." He doesn't ask ladies if they want "single" tickets any more. He's afraid to.

In Debt to a Woman.

Chicago Times. The countess of Cinchon, a noble Spanish lady, and wife of the viceroy of Peru, lay ill of a fever. The Indians of Peru had long known of the febrifugal qualities of the bark, which they called quinaquina, bark of barks. They communicated their knowledge to Spaniard in high authority, who consented to use it, and was cured of fever. This gentleman, Don Juan Lopez de Caniiares, imparted the inform ation of his cure to a physician who was in attendance on the countess of Cinchon, at the same time sending the lady a parcel of the valuable bark.

Consenting to use it, her fever was allayed, and when she returned to Spain she carried some of the Peruvian bark with her, and made its qualities known. Linnaus named the srenue which yielded it cinchona, in honor of the Jadv. In consequence of her introducing* it into Europe it was called "countesa' bark." The JesuitB promoted greatly its introduction into Europe, hence it was sometimes called Jusuits' bark, and many attributed its introduction to them, wnen, in reality they only diffused its knowledge and encouraged its use.

Louis XIV. purchased the secret of preparing the quinquina from thobaTk from Dr. Talbor. an English physician, paying him 2,000 louis d'ors and granting him a pension and a title.

The Street Band JTnltanoe. St-James Gasette. Few positions more distressing can be conceived than that of a telegraph clerk listening to the sound of his in strument as he seeks to transmit a message and finding himself interrupted every moment by the notes of a street band, and the Greenwich magistrate who on Thursday, in a case of this kind, fined the offending "artists' half a crown apiece, cannot, certainly, be accused of undue severity. In savage warfare the bugle-calls of the civilised force have sometimes been imitated with pnzzling effect to the barbarians opposed to them. But among Englishmen, in the midst of peace, this confusion of souud should not be tolerated, and if the nuisance complained of on Thursday at the Greenwich police court were allowed to go on we should find the telegraph clerks disfiguring their messages with reminiscences of popular songB. "I will be with you in tbe gloaming" or "I shall dine at home some day" are fair specimens of the resnlts that might be expected should favorite ballads be allowed to force their way into telegraphic messages.

Miss Susan B. Anthony is aa energetic as as ever in her endeavors to secure suffrage for women. She is much improved in health since her visit to Europe, and will now devote her time to securing some decisive action by this congress upon the question of wo* Euan's suffrage. To a Star reporter, who called upon her at the Biggs house, she said that she wonld take immediate steps to secure tbe reappointment, iu both branches of congress, of a committee on suffrage. She said she had positive assurance that this would be done by the senate, and she believed the house would not hesitate to do the same. She said she had not had time yet to see representatives in relation to the matter, but she felt pretty sure of Mr. Carlisle's support. "Before my departure for Europe lasfent sorts of brides and grooms just as .\T -H vr_ much as there are different sorts of year," she said, "I had a talk with Mr. Carlisle upon the subject, and told him if he was elected speaker of the fortyeighth congress, as I thought he would be, I should expect him to assist us in this matter, and he laughingly agreed that be would. I have not B«en him since, but I have no doubt of his assistance. He is a liberal minded man and a statesman, and, knowing that it iB merely a question of time as to when women will have a vote, he must see tbe advantage of the Democrats taking the first positive action to secure that end. "No, I think there can be no doubt about our getting a committee on universal suffrage which will report upon the question, and bring before the country a sixteenth amendment to the constitution, which will give to*women an equal right of suffrage with men. We shall make our annual meeting later than usual this season, holding it about the first week in March, hoping by tbat time congress will have taken some positive action in the matter. "The party which espouses woman's suffrage," she continued, "will be supported by the people. The emancipated woman will be even more devoted than the emancipated negro,

"Oh, they are altogether different, and nine times out of ten it'sjhe man who gives the thing away. You see, they're so tickled at being married, and so proud of their wives, that it is as much as the ladies can do to make them act in a disinterested enough way to pass for a friend or a relation or a husband of long standing. It has to ba a powerful Btrong-minded fellow who can pass several hours in a car and not give any signs of his recently acquired happinesp.

Jenny Flood and Her Papa. Chicago Tribune. Miss Jenny Flood, the California heiress, who is reported by a London paper to bo engaged to a British peer, is in this city, and emphatically denies the report. It is understood, too, that Miss Flood denies that she was jilted by young Grant, but claims the match was broken ofi by mutual con sent. Miss Flood is an accomplished and amiable lady, highly esteemed by all who know her. She possesses in her own right $2,500,000 in government bonds, presented heron a recent birthday. The English noble referred to by the London paper is believed to be Lord Beaumont, who was in San Francisco not long since. It is understood that the young noble made overtures for the hand of the wealthy young heiress, but demanded a dot of $5,000,000, which old man Flood indignantly refused. Mr. Flood, like Mr. Mackey, is anxious that his daughter should marry some well-bred American business men
