Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke has been asked to deliver the poem at the Oroton ceutetinial celebration. Four young women this year received the degree of bachelor of arts at the London University. George Eliot's mother, .The Colonies?, an Australian newspaper, lays, U still alive, though IK) years old. She ia in llobart, Tasmania. '. It ia estimated that 75,000 women in the City of New York, support themselves and many of them thoir famlies, by there own exertions. Mary Anderson has bought' a fire-story brown stone house in New York. MrMary Anderson ought to be a very happy man when he goes to the brown stone front bower she has shaded for him. Mrs. Curran, the venerable mother of Curran, the gifted Irishman, when reminded that her son was one of the chief legislators and statesmen of the land, would reply: "Don't epeak to me of statesmen; John was fit for anything, and" had he but followed our advice, it might hereafter- have been written ypon my gravestone ' that I had died the mother of a Bishop.'' Mrs. Deacon (trover, aged sixty, was seated mending her son'B stockings in his house in the Town of Ilorseheads, N. last week, when a tramp entered and asked for something to eat. The old lady went to the cellar and when she came back her gold-rimmed Epectaclea were .gonj. She said to the tramp: "You've got my specs." lie denied it, and, quietly laying down the plate, she went to a bureau, took a revolver therefrom, pointed it at the tramp and told him if he diJ'nt lay those specs on the table she would shoot him where he stood. The jrania oot the soectacles Irom his Docket and mildly laid them down. "Now," said ehe, "eat what I have brought for you and get out" He-ate and departed. "When, her eon Augustus appeared the old lady, again taking the revolver from the bureau, said to him. ''Augustus, how do you cock this weapon?" "There goes a magnificent looking woman." Yes," said ray friend, ''she is a great actress." 'A great actress 1 I do not remember that I have ever -seen' that lace behind the footlights or in a lithograph." "Oh. no: she never acts on the mtage." "Then, pray, where does she actT'-At home, on the street, vtf soopy wrwnere. I on-Jrstand." How many actresses e have in pL-ivauife! "Women who have never spoken a line from the stage! Up there on Iho avenue away from the clatter, and rumble, ancr roar of trade; away from the smeke of the factory; back of the leafy trees, the smooth shaven lawn, up the marble step3, behind the lace curtains you shall find them with all the art of our Anderson, our Davenport, our Morris, not so versatile perhaps, but infinitely subtle. They are always acting and so thoroughly imbuad with the role they assume that they eventually become excellent artuts. It was the witty and graceful Frenchman, Arsene Iloussaye, I believe, who said the more unnatural a woman becomes the better bred i3 she. Unlike our other actresses these artists do not advertise their art. Women as Journal lata. Oriental Church Magazine. The influence of women in journalism in the United States is far greater than appears on the surface. The fact that there are sixty papers and periodicals openly edited and published by women gives but a very small fractional idea of the extent of their connection with journalism. The number of female contributors to all classes of papers and magazines is not known to the general public, and not always even to the publishers, from the fact that in the higher class of periodical?, they frequently adopt male nom? de plume, while many others form part of the editorial staff of inflaental journals, where, as impersonal contributors, sex is not recognized. That keen analytical director, Laun C. Holloway, is thus connected with a paper claiming t'j have the largest circulation of any evening daily in the United States; and this is .but one sample of numerous similiar cases. Crimea Against Women. Woman's Journal. Why is it that crimes against women are treated with such fatal lenity? There is a morbid syniathy with criminals, which manifests itself whenever capital punishment is legally inflicted, quite without regard to the enormity of the crime previously committed. This seems to be especially the case where the crime has been committed agai.ioi a woman. The recent case of Abbot, who was convicted upon exceedingly strong, but purely circumstantial evidence, was a case in point. The remonstrance of "Wendell Phillip? was indeed justified by the fact that the evidence, being wholly circumstantial, society had no right to inflict a punishment beyond recall. But the bad effect of the agitation was that it created a sympathy for man who, in all human probability, viaited a lonely and defenceless woman in her own house and there, without provocation, assauitea aca brutally murdered her. There is a certain cFnäs of crimes, of which women are alrr-cet daily the victims, so much worse than ordinary murder, that it almost seems as though capital punishment should be retained as special penalty for them. They are seldom alluded to, because they are so revolting, and doubtless, in a majority of cases, they do not appear in the newspapers at all, because the victims and their friends, for obvioui reasons, wish to avoid publicity. But what can we say of cases like the following: K-r PiTtfiPivt'a rrf fw Oft A young girl, named Sarah Potter, while walking yesterday on the railway track, was .waylaid by six ruffians, bound with ropes and outraged. She died this morning. bunpij this; iho men who havo been

guilty of such an net should be forever deprived of the p:buity of future mischief, either. by death or by perpetual imprisonment Xithout, remission by pardon. No wild beast, or venomous reptile, is eo dangerous or so deadly as are such persons. The sentiment that would waste a maudlin sympathy over such criminals would try to pacify a hjena with caresses and to modify a tiger by. sprinkling him with rose-water. Women Who Work, -t.' ..- The number of women who support themselves by work ia constantly increasing, and will continue to do so as new ave.iues in the trudes and proleseions are opened to them. There are hundreds of opportunities avail

able to-day to women who earnestly seek employment, where there wa one twenty a physician was rare indeed before the W ar, now there U ecarcelv a city in the land with out one or more. Women lawyers are not yet quite so frequently mei v.ith, but there are teveral quietly practic'iLg the profession, and one is quite a celebrity. 1 here are also several successful and highly respected womnn ministers of the Gospel. Several ladiji are successfully editing papers and magazines; perhipä the rmat successful of any devotea tons specialty, is wnony controlled, edited and published by a woman. i The dramatic profession has been open to the sex for many years, and the large num. fcer of operatic and theatrical combinations irive employment to many nunareas. i.ne hiirher schools and Colleges to which wo men are not admitted are getting to be the exception rather than the rule, while institutions of learning like Vassar, "Wellesley, Holvoke and SL Agnes are increasing yearly, and each fitting its graduates to take an active part in the great battle of lifo. D.-corative art. about which so much is said of late, is another field into which the women will make their way without the struggle that has attended their advent into other spheres of labor. Carving in wood is found to be peculiarly well adapted for woman. In St. Louis and Cincinnati institutions for its study and practice are flourishing vigorously. Una iftdy in rt Louis earned, it is said, over $2,000 last year as a wood carver. In the bchool ot Design in Cincinnati, according to a recent report, there were 434 pupils, of which number were females. In the department of draw inr there were 2ÖG male to 93 females. In sculpture there were 13 men and 10 women, but in wood work and woodworking there were 138 females to only 1 males. And in a recent exhibition given by the School of Design, out of a loo specimens ot wooawora exHbited, 138 were executed by women. A lady has opened a private wood carving Bcnool in Cincinnati, and 13 meeting with much success. A similar establishment is about to be inaugarated in New York. Not a few women are earning money in painting china and decorating pottery. The Tottery Clufc of Cincinnati is composed almost exclusively of women, and its receptions are largely attended. Tapestry painting, which is painting in imitation of tapestry, is another art peculiarly fitted to women. This originated in Paris, where about twenty years ago a Frenchman invented a canvas which has no "body," and which is "ribbed" in imitation of the old tapestry cloths. The colors used on this canvas are liquid, penetrating the material like a stain or a die, and when properly employed the effect produced by the design has the exact appearance of hav ing been woven with colored threads, ihus far, in New York, tapestry painting has been principally done as a recreation by the ncn, oui li require? oniy an luoip-usivo umfit, can be readily -learned in a few lessons $75 and a month's time will enable almost any woman of ordinary taste and intelligence to become a tapestry painter and as a tapestry painter, she can find plenty of Hgreeable and fairly well paid work to do. One lady who haf. adopted tapestry painting as a regular occupation earns about $00 a month. The art itself is as yet but in its infancy. Another new branch of art to which woman takes very naturally is painting dresses in imitation ol embroidery. This innovation has been received with decided favor, and many painted dresses, as well &3 faces, have been visible in fashionable salons. For the stage theso are peculiarly appropriate, and many dramrtic artists are possessors of capital specimens of paiuted dresses; but they are equally appropriate to the modes of private life, and already the painting of dresses have become quite an employment, and is destined to increase in the area of its usefulness. ' The telegraph and the . telephone make work for many women, and there is of courso a demand for women as bookbinders, as compositors, as envelope and umbcrella makers, as workers on skirts and shirts, as toy makers and fur trimmers; for those who want to become bookkeepers, dressmakers, dressmakers' models, sewing machine operators, press feeders, paper folders, housekeepers, and the like. ' As teachers, women hold their own. and the demand for them is increasing. There are other exceptional occupations in which an occasional woman makes a good living. "We know of one in this city who is doing well as an insurance agent. Some book canvassers make money. One lady in New York devotes herself to training canary birds, for which she has a faculty, and finds her task quite profitable. A designer of bonnets and dresses receives S3 or SI 0 dollars for a "suggestion." For woman as well as for" man there is work in this world if one will really look for it, and with good health, good courage perseverance and a cheerful trust in the Divine goodness, a comfortable living can be had in this country by male or female. The History of Woman Suffrage. "Emily" In Progress.) The inspired mental labors of such indefatigable toilers, such propagandists of human principles, such emancipated partisans, as Susan Ii. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Matilda -Joslyn Gage, have taken shape, in part, and are before the public under the above title. The first volume embrace the work and progress made by the enthusiastic exhorters for political rigiits of woman, and the equality, equity, and unity of humanity, through a space of thirteen years. Between the boards of this valuable publicationvaluable as history, as biography, as a treatise on laws, manners, and morals; of transcendent excellence as a literary work, rare as a recount of mortal attempts, bravery, purpose, and persecutions in the cau-o of human cbiirns, franchise, and beati tude are bbO pages, including a compre hensive appeudix of the struggles, the speeches, the sermons, and the successes of our most eminent men and women, who have giVen the affluence of the'r brains to the cause in 'ssue. Printed by Edward O. Jenkins, and published by Fowler & "Well!?, New York, the book is a chef d'oouvre of typographical art. It contains a dozen fine steel engravings of the leading female spirits in the cause, and a human cause it ia. Not that to have legal access to the ballot is the main and only end of these female chamions, but it is what will issue from such an achievement purer laws, better manners, natural morals. Give woman her equal platform with man; let her stand side by side with her consort; let their religious, civil and social cede be the same; let the husband revile not the wife for so-called impure practices, which he fol

lows; let the father open his arms alike to

tho prodigal daughter s to the prodigal son; kt the brother not 6purn tie sis er for any question of which he himself is most guilty, and our laws win oe Dasea upon Divine tnspiration, instead oi Deing cornea irom tne selfishness of superior men. Is not the well being of humanity more dependent upon woman than upon man? Is it not the mother who bears, educates, feeds, clothes, and instructs the' generation? Yet she is allowed no voice in the matter of the government of these same generations! If woman is not man's equal, and now not even the equal of the emancipated slave, why is she made an equal companion and sharer in all his joys and" sorrows by the marriage ritual? It 6he is only the toy and tool of a higher being, why does she not purchase his concubines as the Pacha of the Oriental harem; and rolled in tinsel cloth, and couched upon damask, waited upon by eunuchs, and ted upon nectar and ambrosia, keep them as he keeps his precious jewels, bedded in cotton, to be gloated over in frenzies of ecstasy, with no shade of responsibility upon their fair brow, no hunger for sympathy in their demi-sensuous eyes, and no atrony of want tearing at their souls? Dut the position of the modern wife of "Western countries is no such fairy bower of bliss. Iler weight of burdens is quite as heavy, her cross quite as prickly, and her cup of bitterness equally full. While she shoulders a deep responsibilisy, she is de barred her chare of priviliges. . The ideal woman is like last year's snows, melted into oblivion; or an extinct volcano, whose light and glory have been seen for the last time, and now lie quiescent in the bowels of the earth. 1 he vision is beautiful, but, like unreal things, it is doomed when the age comes to unlearn imagery and rest only on the practical. She is described by Mrs. Vaughan, in on of her celebrated appeals for reform in temperance, as. 4,A creature, all softness and sensibility, who must, necessarily enjoy and sutler in the extreme while sharing with man all the pleasures and ills of life; bearing happiness meekly and sorrow with fortitude; gentle, mud, submissive, forbearing under all cir cumstances; a softened reflex of the opinions and ideas of the masculines, who, by relationship, hold mastery over her; without indi vidualism, a mere adjunct of man, the chief object of whose creation was to adorn and beautify his existence, or to minister to some form of his selfishness!" This is the traditional and generally ac cepted orthodox picture of woman, and woman endeavoring to follow the likeness created by ha? turned her nature out of its course, and dwarfed her intellect. But what an ineffable benison we have in the congress of the brave, independent, nat ural women, who are courageous enough to let the inspiration of their souls and the laws of nature be heard from pole to polo, as they clamor for utterance in their hearts, falling in fearless sentences from their pro phetic lips I The rights of female suffrage do not merely consist in woman casting a vote for politH'hI government officials, but the ballot is the cabalistic lever that is to elevate woman to her just plane, the charmed pivot upon which her dawning position hinges, the phylacteric principle that is to guide the mind and morals of the body politic in the womb of time. Ballot in the hands of woman is like money in the purse of man; before it all ways do lie open. See what llobert Dale Owen says regard ing the connubial relation in his own marriage-contract, framed bv himself. His as 8ociation with Mary Jane Robinson was the marriage par excellence of Divine ordination a mingling of souls not a mere joining of bands, lands, and destinies: . .- "This ceremony involves not the necessity of making promises, regarding that over which we have no control, the state of hu man affections ia the distant future, nor of repeating forms, which we deem offensive, inasmuch as they outrage the principles of human liberty and equality. L Upon the marriage theme Elizabeth Cady b tan ion speaks in the tones of a sibyl; and descants at length, revealing such sacred truths as need no advocacy to establish. In one case she says: 'The object of law is to secure justice. 13 at, inasmuch as fallible man is the maker and administrator of law, wo must look for many and gross blunders in the applicatirn ot its general principles to individual cases. The science ot theology, of civil, political, moral and social life, all teach the common idea that man ever has been and ever must be sacrificed to the highest good of society. Look what thunderbolts of power man has trgeainthe age or bis own destruction! At the organizations to enslave himselft Man knows not himself, and knows not God a mere slave to symbols and with "holy water signs the Cross, whilst lie who died thereon, declared, man God. I place man above all Governments, all institutions ecclesiasitcal and civil all constitutions and laws." From such noble sentiments we gather tho spiritual truths, the gospel ol life, that there is but one divine law, the law governed by the promptings of nature. The highest code ot existence is the ordinances traced upon our souls by the infinito God, the omnipo tence ot our being. Margaret i uller, the Sappho of the nine teenth century, said: "It is the fault of marriage and the present relation Detween tne sexes, that the woman belongs to tho man, instead of forming a whole with him. "Woman, self-centered, would never be absorbed by any relation : it would only be an experiment to her as to man. It is a vulgar error, that love, a love, is to woman her whole existence; she is also born for truth and love in there universal energy. "Would she but assvimo her inheritance, Mary would not bo the only virgin mother! ' Society, in its present stage, is a sewer reeking with loul morals and a permeating pollution of veiled basenes. "What is to be the sedative in this fashionable charnelhouse of ethics but the education, employ ment, ana inaepenaence or woman? Educution and the ballot are the only causes to the great end of woman's equitable position. The first gives her a proper place in the Church and society by enabling her to become a power exempt from reliance or control; the latter, in the State, by according her civil privileges. "Without these woman flie3 to marriace. as an hereditary principle and a means of support, inus, Dinety-nine one-hundredths of our wives are only l9gal prostitutes a system of debasement, profanation, and misappropriation of Ileaven'g holiest gift, sanctioned by ecclesiastical and secular formulas, and smiled upon by society. The day for woman to hide her beauty, purity, and excellence under shelter, like the lily of the valley, is among entombed theories. The era of disgraceful prominence has faded into endless timet, like the dark night of human slavery. ' The metaphors of womanly virtue, power, worth, influence, and intellect, as clinging vines, with the concealed clusters of exuberant blossoms and ripe fruit, upon the trellis, man; of screen y glory, that shines only by the reflection of greatness it casts upon the outer figure and representative, are no longer typical of thought, nor allegorical as comparative. Woman's strength and beauty no longer consist in leaning upon a sturdy oak, or seeking shelter under the overshad-

owing greatness of the majestic elm. These may have been pretty tropes of early custom; of provincial, and limited thought and ken.

But in our day of rap a progress symooucal of self-love, self-indulgence, self-elevation and cupidity the strength of the ivy must soon be sapped by the sturdy oak, until it languish and die, and the beauty of the flowers so hidden from tne warmtn oi tne Eun and the air of heaven under the shadow of the elm, that thev lose fragrance and color, and so wilt and wither. Woman has been taught to look to man as solace and strength, as priest and protector, as guide and guardian. In him she has found none of these, and through false teachine and innocent trust she assumed-a state of slavish inaction, from which it is as seemingly impossible to waken her, as the black serf fiom his vassalage. Through restriction of faculties woman never had an opportunity or, if the had. eschewed it as a disgrace to her sex to exercise her intellectual gifts, and bo lost power by disuse. If a mother teach an infant that it must not attempt to walk, because it can not walk, and, if it did, it would be to its shame and not to its honor, the child become a helpless cripple; its limbs - will be powerless, because it has never had healthy and invigorating prac tice and discipline; it will regard its big brother as the Jove, through whom all power and gifU are to proceed; it will not attempt to help itself, nor to retaliate when it is neglected or imposed upon, because mother thought it was inefficient, and to doubt mother would be treason, and big brother Jove very often has too many ot his own pleasures and needs to look after to preserve and protect those of the miserable little slave. And eo it lives on in the firm faith of hereditary teaching and implants the same seeds of false trust and spurious doctrine in the bosom of its offspring, to be handed down through the generations. When women appear independent of men and take an obstrusive and ostentatious part in reform and pubUc thought, if she lose her natural power and grace, it should be man s best love and first duty to protect these by p'neing her so far above himself that they can not be molested or marred. She may have been content to live in the confidence of the traditional and popular fallacy of inferiority in the early ages, when man's research and enlightenment was limited, and hers none at all. But to-day, when we have lived to divine the courses of the stars, the movement of the tides, the grouping of the planets; when by the canonical key of the pala tologist we learn the origin and antiquity of man, and all mysteries broad light of to know herself, iencies, and her are revealed in the sience, she has learned her abilities, her profic use; and if they are not accorded her, then she must make a crusade for them, as the Christian did to wrest the holy sepulchre from the debauching, defil ing possession of the naracen. Let gross invectives, and vile censure be heaped upon the brave men and women whose spirits cry aloud for the betterment of humanity! Let iconoclast, schismatic, and non-conformists be the title, if you will It is what all pioneers of innovations and evangelists of new doctrines have been sub jected to, yet it is only by their inspirations and through their creeds that we can ever hope to attain our true plane of existence. So long as woman cares to perpetuate the false image of herself, ehe must occupy false and ignoble position ! They shroud their true natures behind veils of counterfeit delicacv: thev suppress the inner voice that wou'.d proclaim in one loud word their true beincr; and stifle nature's breath. that with tne tree inspiration would bias forever the mendacious semblance of what is not. Lisetn to the words of such seers and prophets as Mary Woolstonecraft, Lucretia Mott, Margaret Fuller, Frances Wright, Elizabeth Cadv Stanton, Wendell Phillips, Henry. V ard- Beecher, and ent worth lligginson, upon the inferiority of the sex ponder their sentiments well upon the social laws, the privileges of marriage that most vital or all questions of woman and the proper mode of life, according to the dictates of nature, and the resolutions of our wiseet philosophers! Thev are the beacons of light, the pillars of strength, and the shibboleth of hopo and faith, by which we are sustained in this tight-fisted, sordid sphere of slavish conventionality.

EARLY TIMES Indiana When the ReTenne Was Tald In Wolf Scalps.

In Articles Exempt From Execution Transferor Money for the First Bank In Indianapolis. Columbus, Ind., June 17. A gentleman born in 1779, in Kentucky, has been my guest for several days, entertaining those who have heard him in such manner, that I havo written a few items thinking they would interest thj general reader. Although so old he has a vivid recollection of the scenes, trials and hardships through which he passed in the early settling of this State. In the year 182ti he arrived in Columbus, then a town of stumps rather than houses for the latter numbered only twenty-five. But they were defended by men of strong arms and stout hearts from the dangers incident to frontier life. The dense woods with its snarled undergrowth found an almost impenetrable wilderness through which the bear, wolf, panther and many animals less ferocious prowled at will. Wild game was plentiful and many amusing stories are told by the pioneer of city gentlemen stricken with the "buck-ager'' (as it was then called) when attempting to draw a bead on the first deer he saw in its native wilds. Old hunters shot them in such numbers that you could buy a "saddle" for twenty cents. A saddle of venison is the two hams and the loin. The wilder animals were often so near the toVn as to make night hideous by their growls and cries, even venturing through the settlement in broad daylight en route for some deep tangled wild-wood where the woodman's ax had not startled them from their lair for the settler's cabin had beeu erected here and there with just opening enough around them to raise food for the present. There were no roads from one to another, not even from town out to them. But the traveler found them by the trees "blazed" for the purpose; the white epot his guide along the bridle-paths. For the very young readers I will describe A CABIN AND ITS FURNITUKE. A cabin may be square or longer than its width, as the trees are cut. In the days of which I write there were no mills to saw lumber, no machines, no window glass, no bricks, and in this locality no stone. Cense quently the settler chopped his trees.trimmed his logs already on the ground, then asked for all the help he could find to lay up the logs, chopping in the ends so as to make them lie close together. "When high enough some poles and clapboards formed the roof. A door was cut and a place for a chimney, which was built on the outside of sticks and mud, and wide enough to light the room in stead of windows. There were no noors. The house com pleted we will give the furniture. A forked stick driven in the ground is the support for a bedstead, finished by placing two rails in the crotch, the ends crossed, with the other end fastened in either wall; then layer of clap-boards; these covered with leaves, or shucks if they had them, with what bed clothes they chanced to have, completed this rustic couch For a table the door was taken from its hinges and laid .upon two blocks of wood. Instead of chairs. long slabs with four pegs driven in for legs were used. Tin cups, pewter plates, an iron pot, oven and tea-kettle was the sum total of table and kitchen ware. A TERM AS C0UXTY TREASURER. My informant spent a nigct in one of these cabins when County Treasurer. Then this officer must eo to every man in the County instead of their coming to him, as now, in his office. If there was money. well; if not, wolf scalps were legal tender, because, to rid the country of them, the Government offered a reward of $2.50 for every wolf killed, and a piece large enough to take in both ears was ?ahed the scalp These were charged and taken by the Treas urer in rolls in front of him on horseback to Indianapolis. The Treasurer of State called the Counties alphabetically. When Bartholomew was called our Treasurer ununrolled his wolf scalps and counted them out; then the money he had been able to collect. This done, the Treasurer of State asked for his delinquent list. The reply came, prompted j his Kentucky blood, "We have no delinquent list in Bartholomew County," and he paid it out of his own pocket. By the laws of Indiana in those days cer tain things were EXEMPT FROM TAXATION. I will give the list as it stood: First the Bible, next the plow, hoe, and ax. Then the spinning wheel and spun yarn, twenty five poundsof bacon and one bushel of meal "Whatever a man owed, none of these could be taken for debt. I can not refrain from describing a home and its contents, visited by Mr. I when Constable, for the pur pose of serving an execution, that you may judge whether he found food for the law or not. The cabin, worse than the one above described, no door or a table, no place for sleeping only on the ground, no benches only a stool, on which the woman sat with two little children beside her, three sheep lying in one corner, an old gray mare and colt standing near. All one family. The man had gone out to kill something lor din ner. The Constable did not await his re turn after taking in the situation. Wend ing his way homeward along the bridle-path his attention was attracted by sounds from the thicket which he could not account for, being unlike anything he had ever heard. lie turned aside to satisfy his curiosity, but did not tarry long after seeing a huge bear with a hog in his embrace. He would bite, box, then hug. The squeal of the hog and the growl of the bear made a duet that had no music in it to our pioneer. TUE FIRST BANK IJT INDIANAPOLIS. But as the days came and went, our roads grew bettor and broader.
