He bobbed his head against the back of the chair and brought his hands down on his knees with rebounding smacks. Ho took oH his spectacles and rubbed them with his red handkerchief. He stopped suddenly, screwed up his fac e, groaned 'Gh'' ar.d put hi3 hand to hi? back. "What is the matter?" exclaimed the children; "just look at grandpapa; what an be the matter with him?" "It's the rheumatism,'' said grandfather Mzckiel, becoming calm; ,4I laughed so hard that I fetched up the rascally twitches; but I couldn't help it tfarso newspapers do carry on so. Here's one that say: this is the coldest weather since the Involution. Why, this isn't a circumstance to one winter hy when the Oak Touwship boys held school ia the red school house without a teacher. This is nothing." 'It's pretty cold out," said Nellie, "and, grandpapa, vou've been here by the fire all the week."

Before I could get down off the desk Tim t')rw his slate at Sara's head and it struck poor Will on the rse, making the nose oieed and breaking tha slate into little bits.

The great power of transmitted constitution arid qualities ought to reach the most sacred depths tf a woman's soul, and rouso her keenest conscientiousness. No amount of personal inclination, tenderness or passion should make a woman forgetful of tho great trust of maternity committed to her. Miss Kettrell, a new clerk in tho Nevada Legislature, had to undergo a remarkable ordeal lor a woman. in being sworn in. Julge Hawley adjured Miss Kettrell to support the Constitution and the laws, not to bear arms against her country and to pay no attention to the laws of the Legislatures of other States when they happened to conflict with those of her State. He assured bet that she was not eligible as a servant of tho State if she had, since the adoption of tho Constitution of Nevada fought a duel, acted as a second at a duel or carried a challenge to fight a duel.

A!yc I'arlyide, la Chicago Tribuae.l In all great agitations there is a time to light the lieacon-iires upon the hill-tops, and a time to charge the cannons for victory. The former privilege is ours to-day, as we watch tho torches blazing up here and there among the purple shadows, no matter whether in tho vine-tlad hills of France, the conservative balls of old Lngland, or under tho dense shades of tho towering Himalayas. Across the broad belts of earth, irrespective of latitude or .one, break out the sig nal-fires that have been smoldering through the agC3. In vain aro flung down upon them the cold, icy avalanches of old prejudices. The ghost will not down. What is to bo done with the specter? Kvery mountain and valley rings with the demand Kquality for women. Dare our law-givers turn a deaf ear to tho voice upon tho winds? to the rumbling within the volcanic craters, to the oice of God among tho solitary mountains? A great epoch is thrust upon U3 an epoch for which all time has been preparing since the day when the Angel of th Annunciation exclaimed: "Blessed art thou among women.'' Happy shall he be who shall catch the inspiration of the time, step . boldly to the front, and sound tho bugle notes along the line, and lead the charges of the day that day which is to inaugurate woman &s Erophet, priet and statesman in the great istory of the future. While our legislators on this side of the great water stand halting and hesitating, saying, "What shall we do with this question." there tomes to us responsive echoes from tho old monarchial lands beyond the sea, decided, strong and suggestive. From Kngland, with her world-admired (Jueen, daughter of a stately line; from the unrep resented ranks or properly-holding women, paving in millions of taxes to the State. From old insurrectionary France, whose

women, cradled amid revolutions, imbibed such fearful powers for ood pr evil. Now comes t us the irrepressible cry for higher education, independent of the convents and the priest; and education that shall fit her for the inevitable task that willsoon be thrust upon her in the work of the world. When this revolution is heralded by such pens as those of Girardin and liumas. the world must stop to hear whether she will or no. Says the New York Christian "Weekly: ''For years Dumas has been theorizing in regard to the position of women, and gradually reaching a noble and ger.arous platform, though at times vague and incomprehensible. Of late these two brilliant authors, Girardin and Dumas, have been engaged in a friendly tournament on the question of how much influence is to be granted to women, and what society and legislation owe her in strict justice and sound policy for the future of the country. "Girardin's last rejoinder to Dumas caps the climax of his efforts, and brings the question to a status in which all may see a positive and intelligible claim for woman. Its title is a surprise and a shock to the country 'Woman the Kqual of Man!' but the distinguished author maintains his position with singular felicity, and makes some points about which the mass of Frenchmen have possessed but crude ideas. "He asserts that as the revolution of 178! emancipated man, so the revolution that gave birth to the present Kepublic should emancipate woman." Well may the pens of the great French writers take up this refrain with the echoes of the old conciergerie and bastile still ringing in their ears. The mothers and wives of France, what tales could they tell us! We opino that the great dramatists will dip their pens deep into the purple life-blood of France's sanguinary history, and give us a picture that will thrill

the world. Let the and listen legislators of other lands sit still An Eloquent Tribute to aud Defense o Thin Tomen. Nw Orloana Democrat. 1 Now all the men are grumbling because Sara is thin. This only proves how unreasonable these male oreaturcs are. The highest compliment according to tho ideas of men, that can be paid a woman, as a woman end as an artiste, is that she is full of passion, of warmth, of soul-warming fire. Thus desired quality is possessed by but few, and these few are sufferers from their birth. Their strong emotions enhance the imagination. They can comprehend all suffering, all joy. They can enter into the calmness of despair and be even more touching in this still anguish of tho soul than w hen entranced with joy, or fiery with indignation and torture. A woman or a man with such a temperament, with such passionate fire preying continually upon the physique, can not be fat, can not even be plump. Happiness to such natures is an exquisite paiu. But who can comprehend this unless they have souls in sympathy with it? These at least will not fret that a woman is thin when they feel the fiery warmth of her soul. Such souls are ever reaching upward toward the light, and though often falling into error are capable of tho loftiest deeds of valor and noble selfsacrifice. Kven the material, when brought in contact with such beings, as too often happens in this life, feel a strange sensation a3 if they had discovered something exceedingly rare and valuable, but beyond their ccm prehension. The sword of the spirit cuts through the delicate sheath. When men buy race-horses, do they look for the fat ones? No. They know well by experience and observation that the finest racer, tho most keenly, sensitive and intelligent anirnaL, with "the speed of thought" in their limbs, are always lean and spare. It is the fire within these restless steeds that keeps them thin. The Bible gives the finest description in the horse who "smells the tattle Irom afar." Some artists have represented Cleopatra as a large, fat women. This was in accord with tho soul of tho man who painted ber. Yet methinka that this woman who captivated tho great Itoman soldier was no nias of flesh; but in imagination 1 see a woman somewhat above the medium height, with a lissome, willowy form, so slight as to just escape the term thin, with firm muscle, but not an ounce more fat than was necessary to cover the small bones. "With such a flry temperament Cleopatra could not have been fat. In imagination we fco her as she, assiited by her maids, pulls with long, slender arras at the cords which drag her dying Antony to her arms.

No; tho men are like children who eat their cakes and then cry for them. They love beyond all others a woman of deep and fervent passion, yet they wish her to feel the keenest Joy, the deeppsi anguish, and still be round and rosy for their eyes. This is rarely possible. When two noble, exalted natures meet they comprehend each other at a word, a glance, a touch. Sparks may occasionally fly, but they are never low hor mean. I never read tho passage in Shakspearo wherein Brutus and Cassius quarrel, but I am touched by tho passion of Cassius and tho more tempered fervor of Brutus. Such loing3 as Bachel and Sa a Bernhardt, who come gleaming like brilliant, fiery comets along our sky, aro exceedingly rare, though there are many of kindred nature, who keep the keen sword of the spirit hidden, which, wearing through the scabbard, hurts most of all. Interesting for Hives. The wife has been much advanced by the general tenor of legislation of late years in ietpect to her own property, fcho has acquired a pretty independent position as to title, control and disposition, but this relates to her property, not to his. Tho law has not yet raised her to the station of superintendent of her husband's contracts and probablv never will. He is bound to support her and the children which she bears to him, and in order to fulfill this obligation be ought to have as much freedom in tho management of his business atlairs of the world as unmarried men are allowed to exercise. In taking a w ife a man does not put himself under an overseer. Ho is not a subordinate in his oh n family, but tho head of it. The law asnigns him this position, not for lis own advantage alone but as much for the real good of his wife and children, and somewhat for the general interest of society. A husband left freo to lead and govern his own family is the most useful husband to all who may be concerned in the results of his conduct. That exceptions to this rule may be pointed out is no objection to or disproof of the rule iuelf. Human institutions are ail more or less imperfect, and their complete efficiency in practical working can not be expected in every instance. It is enough if they produce beneficence to the great means and in the great majority of cases. A subiutratod husband is a losa energetic member of society than one who keeps his true place yet knows how to tem

per authority with affection. The law does not discourage conjugal consultations or free and voluntary co-operalion in all transaction? which affect or may affect the welfare of the family. ljat the law does not undertake to secure this delightful harmony by coercion, but leaves it to issue spontaneously from the holy relations of matrimony.

ItELIGIOUS NOTES AND ICIDEXXTS. At the recent dedication of a new Methodist chapel in Stamford, Conn., the whole amount of the cost, $:)(,000, was raised. Ia?t year no less than 'S,')00 members were excluded from the Baptist Churches in this country, and the names of J,8ö 1 besides were erased, lhc deaths 0(12. numbered 17.The banner Baptist State is Georgia, with its -:.3,ül members. There were baptisms last year. The number of Churches is l',7-", and of pastor?, 1,6 JO. The colored Hapti-ts of Texas, Arkansas and Northern Louisiana, numbering about 100,("0, propose to build a College at Marshall, Texas, for the education of ministers and teachers. The Evangelical Ministers of San Francisco issued a call for the observance of February 17 as a day of fasting and prayer by all the Churches on tho l'aciflc Coast, that the work carried on so successfully by Moody and Sankey may le continued. Hundreds of souls," savs the "Call." have been converted in these meetings. ine JAitneran3 in the United Mates in 1880 added 132 to their list of Churches. Of the new Churches, ninety-one aro (Jernian, thirty-five Engliih, and six GermanEnglish. Of the now Churches, nineteen were in Pennsylvania, sixteen each in Ohio and Illinois, fifteen in Michigan, twelve in Wisconsin, and eleven in Indiana. As an indication how Protestantism i spreading in France, it is stated that the district of St. Leger-le-Gueretois has become entirely evangelical. All the municipal officers and all the traders have becotno Protestants. In the seven villages composing tho district" there are only three persons who remain undecided. The Bishop has sent a new Cure to the district, but he can not induce the people to return to the deserted Church. Dr. Crosby has certainly succeeded in kindling the fire for a new controversy on the temperance question. His Boston address was a kiDd of torpedo, the report of whose explosion has been heard, hko the cannon of Concord, "round the world." The old-fashioned teetotallers, who had succeeded in giving the Bibb) such a twist that it3 wine was always an unfermcnted and hanaless beverage, are in almost as bad a panic as the Land leaguers in the House of Commons. Jscal Dow has grasped his scalping knife and is tlashing at the air, while Wen dell Phillips has unleashe a wholo pack of rhetorical bloodhounds into a short 'SUt, and at 'em." It does not follow from all this pother that there shall be no temperance, but mat temperanco and common eejise, which have beeu perfect strangers hitherto, are to bo introduced and will possibly enter into co-operative relations. r anaticHtn is folly even when it is connected with re ligious questions, and a man ought to tell the truth even if he is a reformer. Because wine is mentioned in tho Bible it docs not follow that it is right to drink whisky and beat one's wife. If the temperanco organi zations will base their movements on the general necessity of being sober-minded they will find that the sympathy and good sense of tho community is with them. Mlatook the Signal. Omaha D . A well known engineer on tho U.-l., who has a slight impediment in bis speech, had an interview a few days eiiico with his Division Superintendent, tho nature of which gradually leaked out and became a source of considerable fun for tho boys. The story goes that on a recent run his engino had a collision with a cow, resulting disastrously to the animal in question. By a rule of the Bail road Company such accidents must be reported by the engineer and conductor in writing, and for some reason the engineer got his duty on this occasion, until he was summoned before the railroad inagnato for private investigation. "Mr., said the Superintendent, 'how is it that you failed to rejxrt the killing of a oowon your run at such a dato?' "I d-d-d-d-don t remember any su-s s s-such accident," replied tho knight of the footboard, scratching hia head thoughtfully. Well, you certainly must have killed a cow on that run, for it was reported in due rorm by the conductor, insisted the Superintendent. ''N-o-ao, I d-d-d-didn't," said the engineer. 'Xow just think a little and see if vou can't remember it,' said tho persistent in. terrogator. "No. I c-ki-ki-can't remem-ia-m m-re member ki-ki-killing any c-c-cow.

February 11. Mr. !. Clayette, lirt contet of the French Opera t'ompany orchoi-rra,. is certainly a gentleman wlio.c good fortune many persons w ill envy. The history of the circumstances attending the stroke of luck by w hich lie became the possessor, suddenly, of Sl-VIM, illustrates the fact that one is guided to the road to fortune sometimes by events apparently very insignificant. Last Friday, 'Mr.Clayette was .strolling along Itoyal street, in the ricinity of Conti, when he chanced to observe a gentleman enter the ollioe of Juan" Jose Libano, Xo. Itoyal, and insect sonic of the tickets for the monthly drawing of the Louisiana Lottery Company. Mr. C layette stopied and watched tho proceedings, debating in his mind whether lie, too, should try his luck. He saw the gentleman lay down a dollar and purchase iialf of a ticket. The number, of course, be could not see, but be bad remarked the place in the w indow from which the'ticket had been taken, lie walked in and purchased the remaining half of the ticket upon which his attention bad been lixed. It was the number IKl.'iNi. But Wednesday came, and Mr. ( 'layette, glancing over the list of prizes published in the Picayune, was astonislied to liud that ticket No. '.Vyxso' had won $.'J0,uxxi. He held half of that ticket, and. consequently, was entitled to Jil.",aiO 7."."0 francs! This intelligence he conveyed to his friends, but they could wcarcely realize that their confere of the orchestra had been so successful. They thought there must be some mistake. "Seventy-live thousand francs for isl!" It was too much. They could not believe it. Nevertheless, it was true, delightfully true, so far as Mr. la cite was concerned. The writer met him on Thursday morning as he came out of the Imisiana IiOttery Company's ollice, on St. Charles street, with u check on the Louisiana National üanfcfor dö.WO. Suffice it to sav, it was Mr. Isaac Kern who had preceded Mr. ('layette into Li ba no's ollice, on Boy al .trit t, and purchased half of ticket No. ,.:5,."ri. lie, too, is now rieber bySl.VM. "Ha arc from r ranee, I believe, re marked the reporter to Mr. Clayette. " es," lie replied in r rencli, "this is my first visit to America. 1 came from Paris with Mr. de llcauplan's pera Company." "Is this your first speculation in lottery tickets?" "No. indeed." said Mr. Clavette. "I have before bought tickets in the Paris lottery, but never won iinything. mid was legi:ining Ut think that I never would be so fortunate as to obtain a pri.e m a lotterv.' "You will not forget New Orleans when you go away?" t "Certainly not." lie rescinded with a entile; "1 have a beautiful souvenir of this city," pointing to his check. In the course of conversation. Mr 'layette observed that he would still continue to play the cornet, but he thought the notes would sound sweeter than they had ever lone in the past. Before leaving Paris he bad had a presentiment that some good fortune was in store fvr him, nnd it hud come; be was happy. Mr. Clayette is a handsome man, in the prime of iifc. It was learned that he Im traveled much, and at one time was a soldier.
