{ i * ¥ s ; Hlational Banner, e WOMAN’S MILITARY ACHIEVE- _ 7y MENTS, - ‘Mrs. Frances Rose MacKinley lectured before the “Sociology Club” of New York, the other night, and she salds o h “The. opponents of our sex have urged the argument that woman has " never asgumed military duties, and - hence is pot entitled to political rights. ~ For the information of those who have . never heard of the exploits of woman, - we must tell the glorious story of the . ‘Queens of Combat—of Semiramis, Clel-‘ opatra, the Artemesias, Boadicea, De- " borah, Fredigonde, Jeanne d’ Are, the Maid of Saragossa, and countless oth-, er heroic souls. - Let no guerulous de“bater question these instances of woman’s achieyements.” - . "~ Welearn now, for the first time, that there are “epponents” of the fair gex inthis world. Opporients of theories touching the relations of that sex to the State we have met frequently, but never anybody opposed to the sex itgelf. The man who could place himgelf in go unnatural an attitude is just silly enough to “urge the argument™ that “because women have not been . goldiers they are net entitled to polit- " ical rights.”” The citations of military ~heroines made'by Mrs. ¥Frances Rose, ~in refutation of this argunment, are admirably levelled to its logical force - “and gequence. The hercines, of their Heroic deeds, are about as apochryphal as the arghument is nonsensical, and we hold it fit apt to refute a fool with false history, as Mrs. NacKinley does. Se- ' miramis is gaid by Herodotus to have been the daughter of the goddess Des cretoby a moral of ‘ the Asgyrian race, “and it is just possible, as such births are not well attested, and are intrinsically rather improbable, that, there never -was ench a sgtartling character ‘known out of the traditions that populated Olympus and Avenus and all the other locations of mythological .worthies. But if she was a reality, her reputation as an assassin of husbands; her intrigues with the stoutest ", troopers of her guards, whom she murdered to keep them from telling on her ; and her criminal passion for her - son Ninyas, would militate a little , -against her example as a general, in demonstrating female-fitness for duties in modern government. . Cleopatra was a lady of distinguished genius in a licentious way. She married one of her brothers and murdered another, and was the paramour of several Romans of alluring ;;rysi'cal qualities and considerable inteHectual force, as J. Cwppar, Esq., into whose diaphragni a number of patriots inserted their dag- . gers on theides of march; and Gen. M. Antony, the gentleman whio came out to ‘bury Cesar, not praise him.— .Her only military exploit of undoubt- . ed authenticity was runining away with all her ships. at the battle of Actinum and causing Antony’s defeat.. *The Artemisias’—Mrs. MacKenldy makes them plural—were interesting ladies. One of them did good figliting at Sa-. lamis, but she impaired theé value of her name to- the cauge of woman’s rights by falling] in love with Darda“nus, . It i itrue that she partially repaired'the error by putting. his eyes . out for not reciprocating Jer love, but’ ~shpgspoiled the effect of this eminently ‘ladylike resentmeént of ‘man’s tyranny’ by drowning hergelf in atonement of it. The other Artemisia is no sort of an 'oi:amxi;lc for a champion of woman’s rights to adduce against men’s - arguments for not ‘coming down from. their usurped seat of authority.” She loved her husband, and when he died she"drank his ashes in her wine to have _him about with her as much as she could. = She algo built him the celebra- . ted Maugoleum—his name was Mausoleus—oneof the seven wonders of the world. A more infelicitous case than her’s for Mrs, Frances Rose’s cause we can hardly imagine. Besides, she never did -anything in the military . way at all. ' Boadicea: was a woman of pluek and military tastes, but Dion - Cassius says that Suetonins with 10,000 Romans beat her with. 250,000 Britons. This don’t'show well for her ability as a general. Deborah was _-one of the judges of Israel, and being “inspired she cannot very fairly be " counted in the~list of heroines who may secve as an argument for the soldierly capacities of uninspired women. ~ Fredigonde was.a pleasant lady for a - tea party. She murdered her rival, ~ set her husband and his brother at war, ‘had the brother murdered, assassinated her step'son, and followed this vindication 'of her claims to a place among ~the glories of woman’s military genius " by murdering "Pretextatus. executing * Clovis, stra,ngling his mother, hawing " hia sistet outraged first and®then imprisoned, and concluding with the aptest and ' grandest of all her achievements in woman’s cause, murdering her husband. In strikes us somehow ‘aB rathér. ominous that four of Mrs. MacKinley’s half dozen illustrious ex- ~ amples of woman’s power should have been chiefly conspicuous for murdering théir hlusbanfﬁ. Does it méan anything? Is it an accident? We tremulously, and with many timorous "misdoubtings, hope so, The Maid of Saragossa was an estimable young lady, although Byron speaks warmly in praise of her, .but the only heroic act * of her life was performed as a sort of " devotion to her ﬁ)ver, and it has no relevency to so unsentimental a doctrine " as woman’s right. “Joan of Arc never did any fighting or commanding. She merely marched with the French troops to give them the support of her divinely appointed mission, as she be‘lieved. ‘She was religious, not military at.all, except in dress and her miraculously discovered sword. Mrs. MagKinley could have made a better casé with the Queen of the Amazons _ that with Semiramis, for she is just as ¢ authentic anrexistence, and could not have murdéred her husband, because these first and most consistent of all * the adherents: of woman’s rights held it a duty to have no husbands. Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, would have replaced Cleopatra gt: advantage, for she helped murder tiér husband, and . was really what the Egyptian was not, . a general of skill, and great resosirces. | She whipped the ‘Romans several . times, is the most remarkable female military character in history, and her’s - 8 history and not tradition. We make ~a present of het case to Mrs. Mac Kin. ley, or Mrs. Dr. Swank, or any of the championesses of _w"mu'n’g rights, as : sti)me mmpenugon for d;‘::_, lgshézs the - nine paraded before the ‘Soci - Clab,’ of New York.&M',‘Hm?gy

STICKING TO THE POINT. | " A friend of mine, who was in business, and in need of a clerk, advertised but out of the whole number of those presented only one shut the door tight as he went out of the office.— This one ‘was immediately called back and employed. S . A listle while afterward another friend, a successful lawyer, ‘advertised as follows : . K WANTED.—A young man td w:ork in an nttomeﬁ'a oflice, and also to read law at ‘his leisure. . Apply to John Smith, 13 Dunlap Streéte B——r It was the convietion of my friend that what is most desired in -a lawyer i 8 a certain epol judgment, which holds on to the main point.in a given case, and allows Jio eide issues to warp the mind from .its anchored position. I bave often heard him say: ‘ln the end, the lawvers.who, having hit the nail on the head, keeps driving it in until it is counter-sunk' in the conviction of bot! judge and jury, is the lead‘e who sudceeds best at the bar of justice. I always select for ifiy studerts such’ young' men as have this quality, and I almost invariably find it lodged in minds that are inclined to stick 'to the point.’ e - * On the day following the publication of the above notice, Mr. Smith had in the forenoon a dozen of applicants in person. e bade them wait his pleasure ; then when they were' all seated around him, he addressed them as folfowd: - L g ‘Before we preceed to business, my young friends, I wish to tell you a story. : A (Of eoursge no one objected to this. - ‘On Deacon White’s_barn, began Mr. 8., there perched one evening an owl. The Deacon was slightly superstitious, and not fancying the ‘hooting of the lugunbrious visitant, he took kis gun, stole out, koftly, got within good range, leveled his gun at.the ominous intruder, and fired. Now, the barh was old and full of chinks and holes, and it being a very dry time, the treacherous waddin-gLimmecliately get fire to the hay inside; and in an instant the enti_re.structuni‘ was in ﬂames. S ‘O, dear 1, dear!’ cried the Deacon, ‘how can I release all my cows, oxen and yearling, arld my sheep and harses, in . time to save them 7’ for the wind was high, and as it always happens, it increased in freshnées as the fire gained in fury, - ot : ‘Help ! help !’ he shouted. =~ ‘Did the folll)(s hear him in the house? asked Alfred. I shall call the applicants by their christian names. 3 “*Not directly,” said Mr. Smith. “The Deacon lost no time in getting out the cattle. He found them frantic with terror and unmanageable. While en. gaged in| loosing. a “stout young: bull, the latter suddenly turned his. horns and pierced him. ‘l'm gored! I'm gored ! he exclaimed, in agony, just as his terror stricken wife came” to -the regeup’ o o ‘Did- he die 7 C

‘He was injured geriously,” resumed Mr. Smith. ‘Feeling faint he was obliged to go and lie. down. 'The woman ran for a doctor. "When she returned, the piteous bellowing of the tortured and dying cattle fell upon her ears. The thrilling thought ‘quickly struck her, was her husband possibly in the buruing ruins?. Had he ventured beyond his strength again, and fallen a helpless victim %1 J 40, my husband ! my hugband !’ . ‘Did he'answer ?” inquired Charley, with anxious face. ‘Was he in the fire?" asked David. “There was no reply, continued My. Smith, ‘save from the crackling timbers and moans from the doomed animals. Presently she heard -the voice of her only son among the flames. z ‘Help ! help I’ he cried. 4 The mother's heart was ready to break. She hastened to rescue her darling boy. ‘Did she save him.}’ asked Edwin. * «Oh, I hope she 'didn’t get burned herself,’ said Frank. ‘ ‘Please tell us, sir, whether they were burned to death,! pleaded Grant!” . ‘Well,” resumed Mr. Smith,*the poor Deacon died of his wouunds.’ ‘ . "Too bad,’ said Henry, ‘he was a ‘brave man.’ 2o ! ‘And his son was badly burned.’ “Oh, awful I’ exclaimed Isaac. : . ‘And the widow’s clothes caught fire, but lucky, one ot the neighbors (there. were none living very near) arrived at the scene of destruction just in season to extinguish the flames.’ ‘Good ! good I’ exclaimed James.— ‘He threw the buffalo in the wagon over her, I guppose ¥’ ; et - ‘You are right,” said Mr. Smith.— ‘And he| released one of the best horges. _ ! : | ' ‘W(asfhe burned at all?”’ inquired Karl, ' il ; ‘Only aJlittls scorched,’ said Mr. Smith. e | ‘And so' thé marrator went on until he had depicted the consequences in detail of the sad event. Then he paused.. His audience was silent—their sympashies had: been deeply touched. Each one seemed silently pitying the poor, afflicted family. But one bdy sat unmoved through the whole story, and said nothing, And now that the parrative was finished and a pause had come, he deliberately looked into Mr. Smith’s face in a straightforward man‘ner, and asked : : A ~ ‘Did he hit the owl ?? | . s This was the boy that stuek to the _point, and the one that the lawyer selected from the twelve. The story had simply been manufactured for effect. - E |= e ; The cares of the President are said to be weighing him down. This is gheer gammon, He might as well be accused of having a brain fever for which every person would know there iis not a shadow of foundation. ! }.. i A 8 PE 4 ’ - Whenever a colored man appears on ‘the floor of Congress, all the radical members rush up and shake hands with him. They are so glad to see-a man whose complexion is as dark as their principles. : | _They have a government official in Kansas who, on a salary of one hundred and twenty dollars a month, has laid by one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a rainy day. = - They have a very tender hearted engineer on the Gireat Western railroad. He says he never runs over a man if he can help it, because it musses up the engine so. - G | et P ! 3 - As the vapor taken from the ocean returns to it :sain in rivers, so slander and acts of selfishness will come back in overwhelming floods.

. The Two Apprentices. 1 '~ Two boys were apprenticed in a earpenter’s shop. One 'determined to make himself a thorough workman, ‘the other ‘didn’t care.” One read and studied, and he got booksuo help him ‘understand the principles of his trade. He spent his evenings at home reading.* The other liked fun best. He often went with other boys to have a good time. . ek ‘Come,’” he often said to his shopmate, ‘leave yourbooks; go with us. What’s the uge of all this reading ¥’ ~¢Jf I waste ?.hese»ﬂgo}dgn moments,’ ‘was the boy’s answer, ‘I shall lose what I can never make up.” |- . While the boys were still apprentices, an offer of $2,000 appeared in the newspapers for the best plan of a State House, to be built in one of the Eastern States. The studious boy saw' the advertisement, and determined to try’ for it. After careful study he -drew out his plans; and seut them to the committee. -We guppose he did not really expect to #ain the prize; but still he thought ‘there is nothing like trying.” Ir about a week afterward a gentleman arrived at the carpenter’s shop, and asked if an architect by the name of Washington Wilberforce lived there; .. i ‘No,’ said the architect, ‘but I have an apprentice by that name.” “ ‘Let’s gee him,’” said the gentleman, The young lad was summoned, and informed that. 'his plan was accepted and that the $2,000 were his. - The gentleman then gaid the boy must put up the building, and his employer was g 6 proud of his success that he willingly gave him bis timeand let him.go.— This studious young carpenter became ‘one of the firgt architects of the country. "He made a fortune, and stands bigh in the esteem of everybody, while his fellow apprentice can hardly earn food for himself and family by his daily labor. - o ; 5 e el S : - “¢This is Your (}ountfy.” An old soldier and lover of his country and race who formerly lived in;the western part of this county previous to ‘his passage to ‘that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns,” a short time before ‘his death appealed to his son in this wige: ‘Per: haps you have never thought what country means. Itisall that surrounds you—-all that has brought you up and fed: you—all that you have loved.— This country that you see—these houses, these trees, those laughing girls —these are ‘your country. The laws that protects you, the words that you interchange with others, the joy and grief which come to you from men and - things among whieh you live—this.is your country. The little room where. you used to see your mother, the remembrance she has left you, the earth where she rests—this is your country. You see it, you breathe it everywhere. Think to yourselt of your rights and duties, your affections and your wants, your past and present blessings, write them all under a xingle name—that will be your country. We owe to it all that we ave, and he who enjoys the advantage of having a free .country and does not accept the burden of it forfeits his honor, and is a bad citiaen.’ Do for your country what you would for your father and motlier.”— K.

‘Written for the Kendallville Standard, but refused SR e l?sertionb.y its Editor. = e Mg. Eprror:—l noticed in- youg last issue an articlé purporting to emanate from the inspired onion of one who signs himself 0. Pague. | “Arose py any other name would sme!l as'sweet,” quoth Shakspeare; nor can the incurable rottenness of Reservoir be disguised by the new nom de plume —O. Pague. Of a truth there is no autiseptic ip that word, nor hak he been fortunate enough to disinfect himself of his old cognomen— Reservoir—- nor has he been fortunate in the re baptism of himself to sufficiently disguise’his spleen under his new assumed name. Why, even our pres ¢nt adopted spelling book, which consti‘tutes his intellectual pasture ground, must intimute that the word 0. Paque, in -the common-acceptation of the t,g:-rim, signifies clear as mud. This premised: by way of comment cn the would be opacity of your “local,” the merits of his production, he before me. Asa citizen of Rome City and a patron of your paper for years, permit me at this time in plain terms to say that the rancorous spirit and the petty spleen which are: evinced in’ all his productions are ill deserved by the citizens of this place ; and unworthy of publication in anyjournal which claims respectability. ‘Traversing his last articles, what do. T find? A selfappointed and self righteous guardian not only of the public interests of the place, but even of the most private relations of our citizens, rushing into print with his crude and malicious but’italicised insinuations, such-as only a ‘nature utterly debased, and lost to: al] christian’ principles which the redeeming qualities of life could suggest. But instead every line suggests the foul bird which vomits the carrion it has', feasted dpon,;when pursued, even though its purgaer beonly conscience: Daniel Rickel is an honorable man, and fg}lowing an honorable gvocation, but because all goodness is poison to the stomach of “O. Paqué,” and perbaps said Rickel may be his competitor in business to a certain extent, he, Rickel, is the first to be maligned because ot bis integrity in business. Can “O. Pague” point to so pure a record and cléar a page of character? . T ask the question now. ‘lf he:wishes an answer he can have it with ‘confirmation strong as holy writ.’ But more than this, the utter indeceri‘cy of the allusions in the closing part of -his last production in this regard, merits the most hearty reprobation. = What, is not even the character of woman to remain upassailéed ? Are'all the ladies.of Rome City to be exposed to public insult by his meretricious pen? Has he inhated the pestilential vapor of the foul den, has he visited the brothels of misery and.vice so long, that he would arrogate to himself ‘the right to question the purity of all 2— Certainly the character of the heavy stock to which he alludes bas never beenealled in question by any person of respectability. My own name is the next to be held up to public ridicule. That I reported that I had: secured the appointment of Fiand Agent in Dakota Territory is talse and malicious. That Idid.say thatlexpected. to go there, from the fact that I bad the assurance of gentlemen in good standing and high official position, who tendered me theif services and assured me such position could be obtdined if desired is/true, and [-have the documents to show it.— But that.l went way down east, as your local says, to secure any such appointment is a base falsehood, as those who know my business best can testify. That suckers don’t “bite is also false, for your readers will attest that “O. Paque” bit mest vig orously in his last communication, incontestibly proving that the cornea of the “frozen up” anfl afterwards “thawed out” aquatic species is always “O. Paque.” | The constant parade of Capt. Geisendorff’s ‘mill not being in operation is only andth er of “O. Paque’s” cunpingly devised in sinuations calculated. to inj-wfurc a most en terprising -and worthy gentleman. On this score suffice it to say that if all the sinister - midfepresentations” and all the ‘consummate meanness that has been practised toward him in this regard were exposed, not even “O. Paque” might be found guiltless. Ifindeed&‘)no yarn has been spun in the Magnet Woolen l\éills, string has been found there, or thereabouts, whereof “0. Paque” knows and the public may yet learn. : Can : I commend him to'a prudent husbandry of his resources. Inconclusion permit me to add that while I believetin locals from every point of importance in the county, and’ believe that if encouragingly and properly written they would resultin good, I am sorry to say that both “Reservoir’s” and “O. Paque’s” previous articles have been conducive to assist outside interests and calculited to bring Rome City into general disrepute, and that those communications were unjust and malicieus. I insist that Rome City is just enfrging from a long troubled condition of affairs, that its future is as promising - and -that she is as vigorous to-day ag any of her sister towns, and her. criminal records are as pure as any ot those around when properly compared, and those who visit her, whether for busiress or pleasure will meet with that cordiality of intercourse with her ¢itizens, which will best assure them of the consuming envy of her traducer,‘O. Paque.’ + J.Z. GowER. ¢

It has gone into several families, and with remarkable effect in every instance. -One woman has been restored from what her physician pronounced coxumption, after several months’ sickness with cough, great pain ‘in the lungs, and. prostration, so that she is able now to do housework and assist ifi:supporting her family, and with care‘and coptinued use of tke ‘Balsam, she expects entire restoration. o i Another person, a young woman to whom I gave one bottle, has received great benefit, so that her cough, which was of months’ standing, is getting better, and she. has purchased the second bottle, and has every indication of a speedy cure, - A young man ‘who was raising blood, and ,quite weak and sick, has, by the use of two bottles, been much improved, and is able to doa little at his work. : ‘A young man to whom I recommended a trial of it, wgo has had a bad cough; and much ‘pain in his lungs for months past, and ‘unable to get rest or sleep, has commencéd taking it, and is now using the fourth bottle with great benefit. He said to me on a recent visit, that he would not do without it. He is hoping (and reasonably it seemsto me,) to be able toresume his work again. ‘.
