Representative Suffrage.

If we are to have a Government of the people, for the people, and by the people, as is the boast of all the leading political parties in the United States of America, the people must have full representation in the Government > That all the people are not represented in the makipg of the laws or in administration of public affairs forms the real basis of the woman’s suffrage movement. Suffrage is based on the fact of citizenship, in this country, and not on the ownership of property, as is the case ia some nations. The flights of persons are more regarded, theoretically, than the right ot property in the affairs of State, and the exercise of sovereign power. This was the principal on which the colored man was given the ballot, after he was made free. He was a man and a oitizen; the principal of 'equal personal rights demanded that lie should be entitled to vote. If the black men had the right, to vote because they* were citizens, and had personal rights, it follows, of necessity, ‘ that women, being citizens and having personal rights, have also the right, in a logical sense to the ballot, eten though the legal right has not yet been granted. The answer is familiar, to all; suffrage is not a right, but a privilege. A privilege is granted by some one ; who grants the privilege to men exclusively ? But here another interesting problem presents itself. If the men and women have the right to vote because they are citizens having personal rights to be protected, children have the same premises for demanding the ballot. lam a friend of th? children. They should be represented; their rights should be protected and cared for in a political way. Many of them are too small to vote, but they should have representation in the Government under which they live. » This is what the Revolutionary fathers fought for, and representation by population has become as familiar in political phrases as it is false in political facts. There should be universal suffrage in this country to all citizens. This can only be accomplished in a practical way by adopting the plan of representative suffrage. This being a representative Republic in form of Government, representative suffrage has abundant precedent, at least iu analogy and in accepted theory. “The women and children are represented by, their fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons” is only too familiar to every one who has paid attention to the subject. The representation is at all events too scattered and irresponsible to the principles, supposed to bp represented to be of practical benefit. The practical fact is, the man who represents nobody but liimself casts as powerful a ballot as the man who is supposed to represent himself and his female relatives and friends. No one, so far, seems to think of the rights of the chi dren. One more element and the idea is complete for practical application, if the people will. The family is the basis of civilized government. The fact might well be recognized in politics as anywhere else. The head of the family is its proper representative, from the position, and the responsibility which the established law’s of the land impose on him. The innovation 1 would suggest is that the married man with a living wife have a vote for himself and one for bis wife. One vote also should be added for each child living of less than mature age and unmarried. ......... It might be well to provide also that any man without infirmity, who arrives at the age of 25 years remaining unmarried, should rendered incompetent to vote, inasmuch as he has failed to perform the most important duty devolivng on a citizen of a Republic. The recognition of the family, not by name, but as a practical result of universal suffrage, either direct or representative, would have a tendency to promote public.morals, encourage lawful wedlock, the formation of homes; discourage celibacy and the social evil, besides do'ng as even and exacttjtatice as can be expected under the administration of any laws in any department —C. Harrison, in the Current

Population of China.

.The vexed question of the extent of the population of China seems to have been pretty definitly settled by Sir Richard Temple, the eminent English geographer and scholar, in a lecture recently delivered by him before the Statistical Society of London, The number last published by the Governmeht was about 350,000,000, but the inaccuracy di its census is shown by the constant variance in its reports, its previous census being no less than 463,000,000. In determining his results Sir Richard Temple applies the census methods used in India, which have been very,accurate, and which he justifies because the area of the tw-o countries is just about the same, India and China proper having each about 1,500,000 square miles, while both countries are under similar physical, technical, climatic, and geographical conditions, and there is the same tendency to multiply in each.’ The entire Chinese Empire conta ns nearly 4 500,000 square miles, of which China proper (that is, excluding tho central plateau, which is comparatively barrel^ and very sparsely populated) has one-third, supporting an immense population. The average of ] opulation in India is 184 to the square mile, the area bging 1,3J77,450 square miles and the population 253,941,309. Applying this average to China proper, the population would be 282,191,600. The most densely populated of the eighteen provinces is that of the Pechili, which contains the two great cities of Pekin and Tien-Tsin, and which has 18,200,000 souls. Estimating the population of the central plateau at 15,000,000, and adding it to the 282,000,000 of China proper, the lecturer set down the entire population at 297.000,000. In round numbers, therefore, the Celestials probably number about 300,000,000, or 50,000,000 less than the Chinese officials claim.. A specially interesting feature of tlieee statistics is their correction of certain impressions which have always been held regarding the vastness of the Chine-e Empire. has always been accepted without question that China was the largest empire

__ ——— —.-———, r — - In the world far as population is concerned, whOrfeas, if these estimates are in any way cbrrect, the population of that empire very, little exceeds that of the British Emmre, though far greater than that of Franc* and her colonies; while the equally prevalent impression that the Buddhists far outnumber the Christian populat on of the world is equally incorrect, the disparity .being very considerably reduced. As a matter;of interest in this ccfhnection, it may be stated that thq British Empire numbers roundly about 250,000,000, of which 214,050,577 belong to her colonies, while France, with her colonies, can muster only 43,562,493, of which 5,890,445 belong to her colonies. How miuch she will add to this fiumber after she gets through with her present war with the 300,000,000 Celestials remains to be seen.

Learn A Trade.

During a conversation with a foreman of a large manufacturing company he said incidentally: “We have had no American apprentices in two years,” and in reply to my interrogation said that American parents were more desirous of their sons learning to dispise labor than to adorn it. Looking the matter over carefully I have reached the conclusion that he is right. It is a pity. Young man, look forward a few years. You have good homes to-day and homes where every comfort poss - ble to have is in your grasp. You do not apprec ate these things. They come to you without effort, they are retained to you without effort on your part and you permit yourself to slide along on the greased pole of confidence in the ability of your parents to provide. Did you ever think that money, sometimes, yes, often, takes wings? Well, it does; it goes in the twinkling of an eye sometimes and then your father has to work, and you, if you have anything in your composition and make up which has the appearance of a man, will go to work to help out your father. Now, if you had learned a trade you would not be obliged to search for $6 positions as clerks, but could step into places that are waiting for just such men as you might be, at a fair salary. Don’t think when you light your cigarette and walk'down the street tiiat you are any better than anybody else. Don’t imagine that the mechanic as he passes you envies you. Don’t imagine that society could not get along without you. You must know that society thinks oniy of your money and nothing of you, and your father was to lose his dollars to-day that to-morrow would find you knocking at society’s ' closed doors. And the inachanic pities you and says: “Well, I would not exchange places with him,” and he means it Suppose you put on an old suit of clothes and go down to the machine shop or the factory, or the printing office and commence at the bottom round and work up. There will be boys there that will laugh at your white skin and delicate looks and yet secretly they will admire you for having the good sense to do what you ought to do. Your employer will advance you as fast as you deserve and with your natural ability there is no reason why you should not reach the top round of the ladder in a lew years. Then if your parents have money >nd yml feel a desire to do something else, do it; and if days of adversity come, as is very probable they will you will have something to fall back on which will support you and your wife and babies in comfort. A hat this countr y needs is more of its young men to learn trades. There are enough who will De bound to make fools of themselves and try to navigate life without it, and look to the pro essions for a dry and uncertain living. It is no disgrace to be poor, but it is a disgrace tq any young man who, having the opportunity to learn a trade which will be of use to him in after years, throws it away and with it his comfort and that of those dependent on him, 10 satisfy the pride of society which looks simply upon the wealth and not the worth of man.— Arkansaw Traveler.

Lincoln and His Dishonest Client.

Mr. Lincoln was once counsel for a plaintiff who went on the stand and swore positively that a certain debt due him from defendant had not been paid. The attorney for the defentant simply produced a receipt in full, signed by the plaintiff prior to the {beginning of the case. He had to admit the sighing of the receipt, but told Lincoln he supposed the man had lost it. Lincoln at. once arose and left the court-room. The judge told them to proceed with the case, and, Lincoln not appearing, Judge Treat tojd the bailiff to go to the hotel and call him. The bailiff ran across the street to the hotel and found Lincoln sitting in the office with his feet on the stove, apparanlly in deep study, when he interrupted him with: “Mr. Lincoln, the Judgte wants you.” “Oh, does he?” replied Lincoln; “well, you go back and tell the Judge I cannot come. Tell him I have to wash my hands.” The bailiff returned with the message, and Linooln’s client suffered a nonsuit.— Christian Union.

A Mean Man.

Otis S. Richard, of Austin, is a very stingy man, and particularly to his wife. They were in Mose Scha.umburg’s store a few days ago, and Mrs. Richard hinted that she, wanted a blue silk dress, . , “Nonsense, blue doesn’t suit your complexion, at all.” “ Then I’ll take a green dress.” “Do you want to poison yourself? Don t you know that all these green dresses are poisonous?” t • “Then you pick me out a dress.” “That’s the trouble. You see I don’t like any other colors except blue and green.”— 'lejeaa. Siitlngs. In one of the Year Bcoks of the reign of Edward 11l- is reported a decision in yhich Judge Barnard maker this remark: “There is no man iu England who can rightly tell if a womah has reached her majority or not; for many women who are at* least 30 years old want to appear as but 16.” This was in 1377—more th an five centuries ago. A YOUNG, lady requested to be released from marriage engagement on the ground that when she contracted it she believed per lovejif was “ft duck,” but had since found him to be a goose.

REMINISCENCES OF PUBLIC MEN.

BY BEN: PERLEY POORE. Twenty-four years ago, as the; period for the inauguration of Alraham Lincoln approached, the country was drifting into civil xVar, yet Mr. Seward, hopeful that something would turn tip to arrest the collision, assumed great levity of jnanner and speech. When the owner of the Star of the West went to him, and in the most earnest manner besought him to give some positive assurance of what Lincoln’s policy would be, Seward replied: “I tell you what you do. Buy a ticket for the Lincoln inauguration ball. Head the list with your name, and that will bring peace to the country!” The man retired, nauseated at such folly. As for Douglas, his power to cope with the issue before him might have been judged from what he said to Crittenden : “How this thing is to be settled* we don’t know. But settled it will be, somehow. We feel it in our bones, don’t we. Mr. Crittenden, that all will be well ?” When Andrew Johnson returned to the Senate, in 1876, he was greeted by the following Senators who voted guilty on the articles of impeachment presented against him when he was President of the United States, namely; Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Conkling, Howe, Cragin, Edmunds, Frelinghuysen, Ferry, of Connecticut ; Morrill, of Maine; Morrill, of Vermont; Morton, and Sherman, twelve in all of the thir-ty-five. None of the nineteen Senators who voted “not guilty” were present, except’Mr. McCreery, of Kentucky. As the summer of 1861 advanced, it became necessary to organize a detective system of espionage for the protection of the United States Government against the adherents of the Confederate cause. The reports made by this corps of detectives to the Department of State showed the daring acts of the Southern sympathizers, several of whom were ladies of wealth and fashion. How they watched and waited at official doors till they had bagged the important secret of state they wanted; how they stole military maps and plans from the War Department, and from under the very nose of Gen. Scott; how they listened, and eavesdropped, and took copies of official documents; how they smuggled the precious news of the Government’s strength and movements in the linings of honest-looking coats; and how they hid army secrets in the meshes of innocent and unprotected crinoline; how they luirned signal-lights from upper * windows; bow they sneaked about the camps, talking Union, with facile “Drake De Kay’s” passes in their pockets, and explored the nakedness of the land; how they crossed the Potomac far down, at dead of night, and with muffled oars, or smuggled the newspapers over in the capacious receptacles of market -women’s clothes—all these became familiar facts, almost ceasing to excite remark or surprise. Of this band of active and, useful plotters, who were "constantly engaged playing into the hands of the Confederates, under the very shadow of the Capitol, some of the women of Washington were the busiest and most useful. The intriguing nature of these dames appears to have found especial delight and scope in forwarding the schemes of the leaders in the movement to overthrow the Washington Government It mattered hot that mbst of them owed all they possessed of fortune and position to that Federal Government, and to the patronage which, directly or indirectly, they had received from it. This very fact lent a spice of daring to the deed, while an irresistible attraction was furnished in the fact that they were plotting the ruin of a government which had fallen into the hands of that Northern majority whom, with all the lofty scorn of “patrician” blood,' they despised and detested. There was Mrs. Greenhow, a busy emissary of this treason, who spent days and nights in contriving and executing missions to the camp of Beauregard. There was Mrs. Phillips, wife of a millionaire, who was the center of a throng of mingled beauty and disloyalty. There was Mrs. Hassler, the Superintendent of a Southern mail which employed the capacious hoops of female emissaries for its missives between Maryland and Virginia. There was Mrs. Gwin, wife of the California Senator, whose house was the rendezvous of Ben McCulloch, Jacob Thompson, John B. Floyd, John M. Mason, and other conspirators who drew the gold of that Government they were secretly leagued to overthrow. Then there were the artful coinplotters of the secessionists all about Washington, like the Misses S , of Alexandria, whose blandishments seduced a Connecticut Captain from his camp and made him prisoner to the rebel army. All the arts and fascinations of the sex were employed upon officers, both civil and military, to forward the ends of the Confederate junto which had its headquarters at Richmond, and its lesser court in the salons of Washington and Baltimore.

A Remarkable River.

The remarkable river Reka rises in the Austrian province of Carniola and disappears in the Karst caves. There are reasons for believing that it runs ’forji a long distance underground, emerging twenty miles away as the Timavo, a stream which, mysteriously pours out of a hillside. Members of the Austrian Alpine Club have lately attempted an exploration of this subterranean course of the Reka, and have succeeded in following it about one-eighth of a mile, i passing six waterfalls and reaching the I seventh, which proved impassible without special apparatus. One of ? the caverns encountered is reported to be large enough to contain St Peter’s Cathedra! at Rome, 1

The Origin of a Word.

The following account is given of the oricril of the term “eavesdropper:* At a revival s os Masonry, in- 1717, a curious punishment was inflicted upon a man who listened at the door, of a Masonic meeting in order to hear ita secrets. He was summarily sentenced to be placed under the eaves of an outhouse while it was raining hard till the water ran in under the collar of his coat and out at. his shoes.” The penalty was inflicted on the spot and the name has continued ever since.— Troy Times.

OLD-TIME MINISTERS’ SALARIES.

Tobacco, Grain, and Flour in Place of Money. In early times the minister received his salary in tobacco, grain, and flour. In Maryland a box of forty pounds of tobacco was levied upon every taxable inhabitant for this purpose. This tax was collected by the sheriff, and 4 per cent, was paid to him for his services. This amount was still further reduced by the payment to the parish clerk of 1,000 pounds of .tobacco per annum. By the laws of Virginia, every clergyman received annually 1,500 pounds of tobacco and sixteen barrels of flour. The Justice of the Peace in Vermont ordered the collector of taxes to. take wheat at 5 shillings, rye at 4 and Indian corn at 3 shillings per bushel, and to pay into the treasury for the Rev. Dr. Brainard’s salary, and if any refuse to pay, their goods were to be taken, and if the goods cotild hot be taken the person was to be imprisoned until the debt and the collector’s fees were paid. When the Rev. James Martin went to Piney Creek Church, Pennsylvania, the support promised was 400 bushels of wheat per year, or the current price thereof in money, and as much more as the circumstances of the congregation would admit. When the will of W illiam Marshall was openedit was found that hahad left three heifers to the parish, “that the milk and their increa-e should be the maintenance of the minister.” At one time the teacher and the rul- ■ ing elder divided the income of the congregation with the minister. The minutes of a congregation of the olden time read as follows: “And of the contributions Mr. Mayo (pastor), 20 shillings, and Mr. Powell {elder), 15 shillings, provided the contributions hold out,, and if they abate, each one of the above' said to abate according to proportion; and if the contribution super abound, the overplus to be kept till occasion call for it, and then to be disposed of by the church’s order.” The size of the minister’s family was regarded in other days, for we find that the Rev. Mr. Higginson was to have £lO more than the other ministers because he had eight children. ” The salary of Carey was £l6. Even after he resorted to shoemaking and teaching to supplement it, his family were in great want. The people had also a high regard for the promises They made to their minister. Here is yrhat was said by a congregation in reference to their aged pastor: “Although ,he may fail, and in a few i years be unfit to undergo all. the fatigues of his ministerial labors, yet, notwithstanding, we are willing to adhere to and abide by him as our pastor, without diminishing aught of his ordinary provision, judging it right to par-, ticipate and bear with his age and infirmities, seeing we have enjoyed his youth and vigor.” Forty years after a minister had ceased to serve a congregation, it was found by the records that they had not paid him in full when he retired from his work. Although that church had greatly changed by deaths and removals for forty years, yet the people felt their obligation to pay this debt, and did so, with the interest, which amounted to very much more than the original sum.— Rev. Robert H. Williams, in New York Observer.

His Maiden Editorial.

A Western druggist, by a combination of circumstances, - came into the possession of a newspaper; and here is his first attempt at editorial writing: “As we were coming from our breakfast to our office about 9 o’clock on yesterday morning a horse belonging to Mr. J ohn Hogan our esteemed fellowtownsman with a blaze on his forehead and a long mane attached to a furniture ear in which there was a piano that had been rented by a well-known Prairie avenue belle with rosewood case became frightened and rushed madly down the street where there were many people scattering alarm and destruction broadcast. On the corner of State street and Indiana a child of Michael Boliver Esqr our esteemed fellowtownsman 3 years old was playing in the crowded thoroughfare. Young, beautiful, and innocent, this unhappy child was called by all who knew him Patsy although his name is Patrick, was overtaken by the bitter pill of adversity for in the midst of his childish play the pale hand of death stalked in and bade him go with him to that bourne from which no traveler returns. “The child did not see the approaching horse, but we cried, ‘Will no one save him from the iron heel of the pale hand of death?' Alas! it was too late, for ere we could interpose the horse was upon the unfortunate babe and before he could evade the cruel fate which strode after him on swift but noiseless wings he fell to the earth and was picked up an unconscious corpse from which condition it has been impossible to revive him up to the hour of going to press. We extend to the family o<r deepest sympathy and are informed upon reliable authority that no damage was done to the piano. Truly in the midst of life we are in death and let us all be more careful about letting our children play in the street where danger lurks and they are so liable to die without medical assistance. ”

On a Printer’s. Mistake.

Philadelphia Call: Reporter—“ Yes, sir, I have lost a dozen situations just I through printers’ mistakes, which made me say terrible things that I never j dreamed of, and-of course raised rows.” I Second Reporter blunders of that kind, the funniest ! thing that ever happened' to me was in my report of a grand ball. I described all the ladies, giving their full names, and, speaking of the belle of the ball, I said she ‘ looked au fait.’ Now, how do you suppose that appeared in the paper ?” “I’m sure I don’t know.”“Well, it’s an actual fact that it read ‘ Miss Blank looked all feet.’ ” “Great C a ear! What a time you must have had! Of course her brothers went gunning for you ?* “She had no brothers.” « “Lucky for you. Were you discharged the same day or given a week’s notice?” ’ “I was not discharged at all” “Not discharged ?” “Oh. no ! The mistake was net no-

The Picket’s Instructions.

In the early part of the war I was oq picket duty on the Maryland side of thq Fotomac, near the fridge at Hartper’s Ferry. At that time a kind of ah ’armisQceexisted. The trains on the Baltimore and Ohio were allowed to pass, provided they halted at the bridge and permitted a guard to go through them. My instructions were, when the train rounded the curve, to wave my gun three times at- the engineer, and if he did not slacken speed to shoot at him and throw an obstacle across the track. The orders struck me as being so absurd that once, upon being relieved by a raw youth, 1 explained to him that he was to wave his gun three times at the engineer, and, 1 if the train did not slow up, he was to shoot the engineer and throw himself across the track. He replied with emphasis that he would do no “such thing.” Uppn being reprimanded by the corporal the proper instructions were given. ( About the third day after the assignment of this duty, Stonewall arrived and took command of the troops at Harper’s Ferry. At midnight, while on post, some men on horseback from the V irginia side appeared, who proved to be Jackson and some members of his staff, going the grand rounds. The General halted and asked me a great many questions. After inquiring how I would challepge cavalry, going into the minutest particulars, he asked what my instructions were. Upon being told, to my surprise, he <fid not laugh; Mt asked me, in the gravest way, if I had settled upon the obstruction to be thrown across the track. Thinking he was still joking, I replied that it was my intention to sling upon it a railroad bar, lying near (which it took four men to carry). He asked me then on which side of the track it would be my aim to throw the train. As the mountain was on one side and the canal and river on the other, I quickly answered: “Into the river, of course.” He seemed to be highly satisfied, and went away leaving the impression that the new commander was a crank.

The Language Used by Christ.

The language used by Christ was the Aramaic, the dialect of Northern Syria. The Israelite® were much in contact with Aranuvan populations, and some words from that tongue became incorporated into the Hebrew at a very early date. At the time of Hezekiah, Aramaic had become the official language of both Judea and Assyria; that is, the language spoken at the courts. After the fall of Samaria the Hebrew inhabitants of Northern Israel were largely carried into captivity, and their place was taken by colonists from Syria, who probably spoke Aramaic as their mother tongue. The fall of the Jewish Kingdom hastened the decay of Hebrew as a spoken language, as is generally assumed, but after the return to Judea the Jews found themselves, a people lew in number, among a large number of surrounding populations using the Aramaic tongue. When the latest books of the Old Testament were written, Hebrew, though still the language of literature, had been supplanted by Aramaic as the language of life. From this time on the former tongue was the exclusive property of scholars, and has no history save that of a merely literary language.— lnter Ocean,

Davy Jones’ Locker.

Sailors call the sea “Davy Jones’ Locker” because the dead are thrown there. Davy is a corruption of “duffy,” by which name' ghosts or spirits are known among the West Indian negroes, and Jones is a corruption of the name of the Prophet Jonah, who was thrown into the sea. Locker, in seaman’s parlance, means any recaptacle for private stores. So that when a sailor says, “He’s gone to Davy Jones’ Locker,” he means, “He is gone to the place of safe-keeping where duffy Jonah was sent to.”

Whether it be true or not we aro unable to say: “When both parents have eyes of the same colof 88 pep cent, of the children follow their parents in this feature, and of the 12 per cent, born with eyes other than parental color, a part must be attributed to intermittent heredity.
