(From the Liberal ltevlew.) BULLIES. The bullying instinct is innate in many natures. It developes itself in some people almost as soon as they can toddle. At home they bully all who submit to be bullied, and all who have no choice bat to submit. Bullying is, indeed, one of the dearest delights of some infantile minds. At school—it does not matter whether boy or girl, for bullying is not an accomplishment of one sex only—the pastime is freely indulged in. There is hardly an educational academy in Holland at which there is not a proportion of great lubberly fellow?, who are tho terror of the small fry, and occupy their leisure time in planning and executing horrible practical jokes on their brethren. We do not imagine that the small fry are injured thereby in fact, the lessons do them an incalculable amount of benefit. They may think the contrary, perhaps, when they are suffering, but then the stupid eilows do not know what is good for them it is difficult, indeed, to say who does. The juvenile victims generally comfort themselves, in the midst of their tortures, with tho happy thought that when they become men and women they will lo bullied no longer. Vain delusion! Thov have their pleasant anticipations rudely falsified when they attain mature years. They make the unpleasant discovery that they are bullion a good deal more than when they were young and innocent. They soon learn that there is no possible way of escaping the bully, and that he is more unrelenting and unmerciful than tho enemy of their school-days. The latter could be propitiated, in many instances, with the sweetmeats and cake which his victim had fondlv imagined lie would enjoy himself. Tho bully of the world at large looks down with unmitigated contempt upon such trifles, lie places a very high value upon his bullying powers, and lie utilises thcin upon scientific principles. When ho is a master he knows that, by bullying his servants, it is just possible that lie may cause tliern to do more work than they would otherwise do. When he is a servant ho feels that by bullying his master (for a servant can, if he chooses do this to a certain extent) he will not be asked to do disagreeable tilings, or required to work harder than ho feels he ought to. This is a short-sighted policy, hut then your remarkably sharp people often find that they have been too clever. The bully is not tho only one who imagines that, because ho gets what he wants for the time being, he is pursuing a wise policy. Apart lrorn this desire to make money and seeure their own comfort, there is, on the part of many people, an insane desire to assert their authority and independence. They will fliro up at the slightest opposition, and avail themselves of every opportunity of laving down the law. Thev are always taking good earn to let those peoplo over whom they have control know what will be the effect of certain acts of which the bullies do not approve. When the victims are quite innocent, in anticipation of the misdemeanors to 1)0 committed the bullies speak to them as if they were the most guilty wretches alivo. They generally elevato their voices to an unpleasantly high pitch. Bullying, too, is used as a means of obtaining and avoiding paying monev. There is the creditor who. personally, waitH upon tho debtor, and bullies and threatens him there is the debtor who re wives his creditor with sarcasm and abuse. Both obtain some advantago for the timo being. There are plenty of disreputabie bullies. Porters and cabmen are remarkable for their ingratiating civility when engaged they are no less remarkable for their ferocious surliness when the time for payment arrives. They know no hotter way of obtaining from you doublo what you owe them, than by bullying yon. They fully appreciate tho fact that you regard a public altercation as decidedly unpleasant, apart Irom tho injury it noes your reputation. As for themselves, they are so utterly abandoned that nothing *an injure them, and fhey consider an altercation rather as pleasant recreation than anything else. They are in high good humour when their tactics have proved successful, and crack sundry

jokes

at your expense when you have departed crestfallen. Tho travelling huckster is a very finished bullv. He has an ingratiating way of persuading you to look at his wares. But if you look and do not buy, he is terribly indignant, and gives vent to his indignation in very forcible, if not polite, terms. Ho is doubly ferocious if his victim happens to be a defenceless lady and is. we regret to say. gene, ally completely victorious. This builyiug svstein Is not altogether confined to disreputable people. It is an established principle, apparently, with many people to wheedlo vou first and bully you afterwards. Persons occupying a position midway Iwtween the middle and lower classes, come in for the greatest share of bullying. But no one altogether escapes, for bullies are everywhere lying in wait to trap unwary mortals.* It is Impossible to appreciate the delight which some snobbish people frel when they have extinnuished some insignificant foe. We have known people who have done this a* thev considered satisfactorily, glow with exultation, and walk about contented and good,*humoured for the rest ot th day.

Bot'rtn TO Do A KVU. DAY'S WORK.— Mr. M., ot Oxford, don't object to having a hired man do a fall day's work, at least so we should Judge from the following storv: A short time ago a man w«n»t to his place for work. Mr. M. set him to plowing round a forty asere field. After he had plowed faithfully all day, until tho sun was about halt an hour high, he expressed hi* opinion that It was about time to quit work. "Oh, no," said Mr. M„ you can plow around aix or eight tim« more Just as well as not."

So the hired man plowed around six or eight t.mes. then went to the house, took care of his team, milked nine rows ate his supper, and found ten o'clock staring him in the luce from the old timepiece.

Said the hired man to Mrs. M.. •'Where Is Mr. M.T" The good woman answered, "he has retired do vou wi*h to see him?"

He replle-d that he did. After being conducted to the bed-room, he said, Mr. M., where is the axe?" ••Why," aaid Mr. M., "what do you want to do with the axe?" "Well," said the hired man. *1 thought TOU might like me to split wood till

-'THE EARLY BIRD."

The reply of tho boy, in response to the quoted maxim, by his parent, that '•The early bird catches the worm,'' that it "served the worm right—he no business to have been up so early," has a bit of philosophy as well as a laugh in it. It is beginning to be pretty well understood that it is not absolutely necessary to have a worm, that nobody wants it and that, upon the wholo, life can be spent in tolerable comfort without a worm. When people preach about early rising, they ought to lie told to do it If they like, but to let other people do as they likealso. All this talk about early rising is moonshine. The habit of turning out of bed in the middle of the night suits some people—let them enjoy it. But it is folly to lay down a general rule upon the'subject. Some men are fit for nothing all day, after they have risen oarly in tho morning. Their energies are deadened, their imaginations are heavv, their spirits are depressed. It is said you can work so well in the morning. Some peoplo can—but others can work best at nignt others again, in tho afternoon. Long trial and experiment form tho only conclusive tests upon these points. As for getting up early because Prof. Gammon has written letters to the ipers proving the necessity of it, let no one bo goose enongh to do it. We all know the model man, aged eighty: "I invariably rise at five I work three hours take a light breakfast—namely, a cracker and a pinch of salt work five hours more never drink anything but barley-water, eat no dinner, and go to bed at six in the evening." Ifanybody finds that donkeyfied sort of life to suit him, by all means let him continue it. But few people would care to live to eighty on those terms. It a man cannot get all withered and crumpled up on easier conditions than those, it is almost as well that he should depart before he is a nuisance to himselfand a bore to evervbody else. Let no one torture himself with the thought that he could have been twice as good a man as he is It he had risen every morning at daylight. The habit would kill half of us In less than five years.

DON'T RK TOO SKNSITIVB.—There are some people, yes, many people, always looking out for slights. Thev cannot carry on the daily intercourse of the family without thinking some offence i* designed. They are as touchy as hair triggers. If they meet an acquaintance in the street who happens to be preoccupied with business, they attribute his abstraction in some mode personal to themselves, and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the fault ottlwir irritability. A fit of indigestion makes them see impatience in evervbody they come in contact with. Innocent persons who never dreamed of giving offence, are astonished to find some unfortunate word, or some momentary taciturnity, mistaken for an insult. To say the least, the habit is unfortunate. *It is far wiser to take the more charitable view of our fellowbeing*. and not suppose a slight is intended unless the neglect is open snd direct. After all, too, life takes ita use in a great degree trom the color of our own mind. If we are frank and generous, the world treats us kindly. If, on the contrary, we are suspicious, men learn to be cold snd cautious to us. Let a person get the reputation of being touchy, and everybody is under more or less restraint and tn this way the chances of an imaginary offence are greatly increased.

A morass has been invented by which maple sugar is made of common N«*w Orleans molasawa, flavored by steaming maple wood. The ingenious Inventor to now experimenting on a method of making honey from codfish oil tinctured with beeswax.

The Lion House, at Salt Lake CityMr. Young's residence—is an unpretending two-story dwelling, with aor-mer-windows, inclosed within a six-foot wall, and well surrounded by trees. His houses throughout the city are simple cottages. His private carriage is an old-fashioned, covered rockaway, and bis horses strongly indicate a former familiarity with tho plow. Through his half-closed eyes, like a panther asleep, his great executive brain looks out upon the little world he has made, and orders its affairs with the sagacity of ar. industrial king.

Domestic infelicities, though perhaps less common than is popularly believed are by no means unknown. The regulation, however, which allots one separate week of Lotbarian devotedness to each partner, relieves the subject of those unhappy consequences accruing from prolonged familiarity, which, it may be remembered, are so vigorously set forth in Bulwer's story of the "Wart and the Squint." Even while living under the same roof, they wisely .take their meals apart, and although many stories are told of jealousies and outbreaks, nothing worse than a cold douche bath, delivered with holy unction by a disinfected "party of the first part," has ever come under my notice. There is less of this, however than it would seem possible under a condition of things where the same sacrificing subject serves the marital relation to both grandmother and granddaughter at the same time. But it is not too much to say that misguided, deluded, and unhappy as they unquestionably are, the lives of these women are heroic. All honest purpose, not compulsory, but voluntary, for the sake of conscientious ends, leading through suffering and sacrifice, and culminating in no place of self-glorv, but in more or loss of misery, sen' imposed, to the very end, is true heroism and in this light,' this life of theirs is the sublimity of heroism. For it deals not alone with physical discomfort, it exhibits no phase of tierce fire-splendor to attract the eyes of the world,such as lit the sword of Joan d'Arc, or wreathed the ambitious brows of a Roland or an Antoinette but the spirit writhes while the white lips are dumb, and under the shadows of their homely walls they sit and nurse their religious zeal, and in the mold of conscience pour their lacerated lives, and lashion them into the lives of martyrs. Few religions are luxuries of themselves,and this one least of all. But whoever would learn the true weight ol the cross should but look in the faces of some of these Mormon women. Despised of the world, and rejected by the seekers of the Living God, they paliently and unresistingly pursuetfieirdestinies. With no artificial restraint, there is therefore little falsehood—no superficial assumptions—but earnest, serious work all tending and gravitating toward the fulfillment of prophecies leaning forward even beyond the shores of time. Here are patient faces, and faces shorn of hope for this life there are those stolid with despair some withered, and weakened with oarth-work and long waiting, and a few pictured with expectation and full content. But the only wellarticulated idea—the idea which possesses men and women alike—is that of unrelenting unswerving faith in the power of the institution undor which they live. This is the idea implanted in tho breast of the youth, and it finds strength and nourishment in every observation unfolded to the mind.—From "The Mahomet of the West,1' in Sept. Overland Monthly.

A GOOD WIFE.

We concede that man is, or should be, the rigbtfullly constituted "head of the family," and all good wives wo«ld havo it so. Wo concede that he is the head of the wife and every real wife, be she president, queen, or emprtfcs, would prefer that a manly man shoiild be at the head, and tako the lead. If is in accordance with the order of natire, and according to tho teachings of Ihe Scripture. Every man ought to bo capable of assuming such relations. I is his province to brave dangers.to prol ct and to defend. But suppose the gay mare be the bettor horse? in otier words, suppose the wife to bo in ev ry way the most capable of Inking he lead? Suppose she be the better uptain It is a general rule that tho 1 ?st thought governs, and the best irnd leads. Man is supposed to have it ellect, reason, and practical comion sense he should have constructive! ss, integrity, hope, application, perse erance, dignity, resolution, and expitiveness—all manlj' qualities. Won en should have much of the same, win a predominance of kindness, affe':lon, taste, economy, order, sense of proriety, spirituality, and devotion—all yifely, womanly qualities. I

A good wife is supposed to havener and higher sensibilities thanfher husband while his tendencies are more or less earthward, hers arejupposed to be heavenward. At anyfate, she will hold him steadily to dutyjand keep him up when without hoj he would wander, indulge in ltixuriejand go down to tho appetites and pasjons. It is not in the presence of hisrood wife that he indulges in his intofcating cups or in bacchanalian riomgs. but in her absence. It Is not i| the presence of wife and other lovedfones that those frightful games of jance called "gambling," which so oft

suit in ruin, despair, and deatl are indulged in, but in their hbsen home, most men conduct the with more propriety and circumspection than when abroad among grangers. Why? The influence of [good wife—next to one's religion—is|lI tent. Is a insn tempted to iioke, chew, or snuff tobacco? The night that it would offend his lovir wife would cause him to refrain.

this be not the case with all it A certainly so in many instances. [There nre weak women who, on befcning wives of self-indulgent men, show their desire to please, stultify tl ir natures, and may be heard to ren rk, "I like the smell of a good cigar I like the taste of wines, porter, be* etc., when the truth is they only ndnre them. Now what is the consciences of such weakness? The man idines all tbe more to such indulgeni, having the sanction of his wife.

TESBR-HATTTFi SATURDAY hVKNING MAIL. SEPTEMBER 16.1871.

HOUSE WORK FOR GIRLS. It is the law of God that no human being can have a sound, vigorous body, accomplish much physically, and enjoy long life, without good muscles. Though there is a variety of ways by which exercise may be oDtained, yet domestic labor is best adapted to develop and strengthen the whole system. Within a few years much interest has been awakened upon the subject of physical exercise, particularly as connected with sehools and seminaries of learning. Besides the out-door exercises games, calisthenics and gymnastics have been introduced inside the school-room, and are becoming a part of the regular exercises in many institutions. This is an improvement in the right direction, and is good as far as it goes, but it is entirely inadequate to meet fully the demands of nature.

No kind of exercise for girls is so well calculated as household work to develop all the muscles of the body—to do it in early life, and gradually, under circumstances favorable to health generally. The girl and young woman must thus be trained year alter year, otherwise she will never obtain that hardihood of constitution, that strength of muscle, that power of endurance, or, in other words, that balance of temperament so essential to good health and happiness in all the social and domestic relations of life.

A "BUSINESS WOMAN"writes to the Tribune that if women fixed their minds on doingtheir work with skill, accuracy and dispatch, they would impress men whom they meet as too absorbed for gallant ry, and half the annoyances they complain of would escape their attention. A preoccupied air is the most successful damper to such speeches as women dislike to listen to, and protects her as effectually as a moist hand protects itself from burning metal. At this moment a young working-girl passes the window, playing with a parasol, pink ribbons in her hair Hying, eyes glancing "hither and yon," with flowers and lace enough on her hat to attract the birds nest-hunting. A sign hung out, "Admiration Wanted!" would not make the motive of all this plainer. Innocent enough, all this, but in no May expedient, and ifthecynicism were not so hateful, one might, under the breath, remark that "innocence not virtue." Contrast this with the sober air even an office boy, with check in iiis hand, will wear as he goes down the street. Tho fact is, nineteen twentieths of the women that work for their living to-dav havo no more ide' of the meaning of the words accuracy and dispatch than they have of orders in Chancery. Nobody need shakQ her head about it. Can a'lady tell her sew ing-woman how to make the simplest Iress with any assurance that she will follow the directions, unless the work ts taken from her fingers at twenty different stages of its progress and she is shown how? Half the working-wo bien to-day are mere apprentices.

FACES.—How very seldom we meet a inan or woman with a—face. There great plenty—a superfluitj*—of people Vith features, with eyes to see outside cf a millstone noses to languish upon flower like a sick butterflj', or turn ip at a beggar mouths to chew, and fle, and assent with cheeks to cover ieeth, and foreheads along which to train-tlie supple curl—but not a face no, wot the faintest suggestion of one, These eyes are but windows in a vacant tyll, unfurnished with oven as much at a rug these noses have no more significance than a hillock on a prairie tCeso mouths are merely the burrows if "Welsh rabbits these cheeks, a llank expanse of canvas, waiting to be tainted upon by an artist who has £one off to Rome tho foreheads are parchment, upon which nothing is written. Such things are but the front side of heads—they are not faces. They are the visible portions ot God's image carved in broad and butter. It is ac counted marvellous that Nature has mado no two faces alike. There is no marvel here: men who have no material for faces shape their own, oach after the fashion of his mind and as for mere countenances, Nature cannot exactly reproduce her own accidents, and duplicate her blunders. You may send one arrow after another, and lodge them in the same target, but you cannot make two empty soap-buboles drift away in the same line, nor one puff of tobacco smoke curl and twist like another,

THK New York Mail relates that number of young ladies, school teachers of New* York city, are spending their vacation at a somewhat preten tious sea-side hotel on Long Island, and have been in the habit of participating in the parlor "hops'" which, ot course, constitute an important feature of the evening's diversion. But a recent fashionable arrival in the person of a lady who is wealthy enough to buy out the whole establishment, caused change in tbe programme. This lady objected to association with school teachers, and the latter were requested to refrain from joining in the dance and like sensible young ladies they young Jreserved their own dignity by refusng to enter into a controversy with the lady of "many stamjps." But the circumstance coming to the knowledge of the landlord he laid thesuject before a lady and hit:

AJNUMBKRjof^the prominent women of Washington havo organised a raid upon the social evil in a novel way, and one that promises to amount to something. They visited a large number of houses known to be public, and held long and friendly interviews with the women who kept them. They learned that these women were neither coarse nor unreasonable that they merely wanted to earn a comfortable livelihood that none of their inmates took up their bad business from choice, but mostof them were in the first place victims of man's inconstancy and vice that all of them, almost without exception, would do anything on earth to escape from the torment in which they live into respectability, however oliscure and humble the lot that their patrons were chiefly married men, and that they would starve if they depended for support upon the unmarried Some of them were widows, and ono widow supported her daughter in boarding-school, furnishing her with all the money she needed without letting her know how it was earned. In short, these ladies saw with their own eyes what was to them a revelation, and learned to pity where before thev had been taught to hate. At last the keeper of one of these houses, who was herself thoroughly sick of the disreputable business, ottered it to the ladies as a reformatoiy if they would furnish the means to carry it on. The offer was accepted at once, and the la dies have appealed to the people of Washington for the means of carrying on the work thus begun. The hopefu feature in this movement is its sympathetic and humane character. These ladies remember that they are dealing with human beings, not with brutes, and beings who are not to be reformed by close confinement, water gruel, and drab, but by the constant interest, confidence, cheer, and support of their own sex. We hope their experiment will meet with all the success it de serves, and stimulate the women of other cities to follow their example.— (Jolden Age.

NATIONAL CUSTOMS.—The traveller who lands at Calais from Dover, and stops there over night, is put into a bed having a hard round bolster, sur mounted by a huge square pillow, very different from anything of the sort he has before seen, lJut which he is destined to find—perhaps to his great comfort —wherever be goes in France. Here is a French fashion.

The traveller who enters Switzerland —it matters not where—has honey placed before him the first time he breakfasts or takes his tea. He hasnot been treated to honey before in any adjacent country in which he has travelled, not, at least, unless he has specially ordered it but now it is placed before him whether he cares for it or not, and it continues to appear both at breakfast and tea, so long as ho eontin ues his sojournings in Switzerland. Hero is a Swiss custom.

One who crosses from France to Germany exchanges customs in regard to the timo of day for taking dinner, and the time of night for retiring to rest. The Frenchman eats but little in the morning, or through the middle of the day, reserving his dinner until the close of the day. The German dines at mid day. So much is this his practice, the very word for dinner signifies "midday's meal. And even fashionable Germany goes to its evening's eiiter tainment at half past six P. M., and is at home and in bed before the night has barely begun in London or Paris. Here are German habits.

The more ono travels, the more of course, he observes of these national peculiarities. He finds them existing, not merely in such outward matters as those just indicated, but in every de-

Seeply

artment of life. So numerous, so rooted, so widely prevailing are these peculiarities, as tostainp ineffacea bly the national character.

MR. J. HENRY WATTJBRSON,—the accomplished editor of the Louisville Courier'Journal, replies in a two-col-umn paragraph to tne recent answer of Isaac Caldwell, the immaculate Kentucky Bourbon, to the five-column "cara" of Mr. W. In tbe reply he thus touches o\T Isaac's position with reference to tho "New Departure:" "Thore is but one safe guide to lead the faithful out of the wilderness, and that is Isaac Caldwell. Well, well, lot it be so. But he should look to it that ho follow not the example of another safe leader who is recorded in history. It is related of Stimsendriver, the colonel of a German regiment from St. Louis, that, when the troops quittod camp and started out on tho "new departure," in quest of glory, a cannon shot was heard in the distance. Vide the Ohio movement!) "Boys," said Stimsendriver, "you hoar dot? Dot is mow." There came another sound. de the movement in Pennsylvania!)

Qott\" cries Stimsendriver, you

hear dot agin? Dot is more cannon!" There was a roar all along the line. Vide tho news from Iowa, California and Wisconsin!) "Goltin HimmcU" cries Stimsendriver, "dot is mwhkitry/" Then, turning his horse's head away from the enemy, Stimsendriver drew himself proudfy erect in his saddle, just exactly like Isaac Caldwell, and called out "Boys, don't you follow dese damn Indianny fellows—dey lead fou mit do danger you follow your eader your leader will lead you mitoiU de danger—/or.yo«r leader is one damn mfe man/"

A SINOW.AR RKMKDY.—Whenever Burke found himself indisposed, he ordered a kettle of water to be kept boiling, of which be drank large quantities, sometimes so much as four or even five quarts In a morning, without any mixture or infusion, and as hot as he could bear. His manner was to pour about a pint at a time into a basin and to drink it as4f it had been soup.

Warm water, he said, would relax and nauseate, but hot water was tbe finest stimulant and most powerful restorative in tho world, lie eertainly thought it a sovereign cure for every complaint, and not only took it himself but prescribed it with the confidence of a S.ingrado, to every patient that came in his way.

He found that people go there and persecute the ticket sellers hours together. And although so many men were pres-, ent, no one offered to'protect him from insult and annoyance. Yet he bore it. without resentment—without even a protest. My uncle says that any one I could see that to ask tho sufferer a question caused him the crudest anguish, yet his persecutors showed no sensibility, but continued to afflict him without pity even women did it. My uncle broke down and cried, he was so distressed to see it. A pale, consump-' tive young preacher, with pretended diffidence in nis manner, but devilish malignity in his heart, approached the office and said:

Will you please be so kind as to tell" me, sir, what time tho train leaves fori Rahway

With the pathos of patient suffering in his voice, the ticket seller replied What do you want to go to Rahway for, you spider-legged guttersnipe?"

My uncle dragged theshameless olergynian away from his prey, and beseeehed him to give over trying to make a distuibanee. Then a voting boy attacked the ticket-seller with asperity, and said "If you please, sir, my mother is coming from Princeton,'and—

Hang your mother!" said tho sufferer, with tears in his eyes. My uncle,f got the boy convoyed to the House of ,. Correction. Then a woman came in, and said with fiendish malieo: "I would like to buy a ticket for Washington, sir. Will you please tell me what it costs?" "Money! Do you supposo we give them away?" said the clerk, with aj*

tenderness almost divine. My uncle

I say, don't you think you've been humming around here about long enough, you old ulcer? Clear the gangway!" 'I*he tones reminded my uncle of his

He said he was very sorry that he had permitted his anger to obtain the mastery of him and to suffer him to do such an act, because it was a pood-fashioned Windsor chair, an heir-loom in his family, and he knew he never could replace it.

was so outraged tli.tt tho bystanders could hardly keep him from tearing tho woman limb from limb. A hundred people, after this, camo, one after another, and seemed to take a pleasure In asking tho down-trodden clerk the" most offensive questions thoy could think of about trains and prices and distances yet he boro it all with patient sweetness, seldom saying more in reply than What tho I do you want to know for?" or some simple thing like .at, and always with gentleness, alwaj's with courtesy. My uncle, at last, could boar it no longer, and tried to throw himself between the mob and their victim, when tho latter said to him, with womanly meekness:

IT is school-time. Already tho teachers' bells are ringing the pupils in. Tne^1. ^est service public-spiritec^ moil and wonien can render fne Republic and the race is to see that every boy aiulE girl between the ages of six and lifteen attend some school regularly, and early, too. Truancy is the beginning of vice, and the first step toward crime.''" The greatest danger to our institutions is ignorance, and the only way to overootne it is to see that oveiy child attends some good school. And the best time to attend to this duty, which is also a philanthropy, is to-day. If any poor widow can ill afford to send her boy and girl, and proposes to keep them at home to do chores, or turn them into the streets to pick up pennies and prepare for tho penitentiary, thero will be a splendid opportunity to do a good deed without telling anybody of it.— Golden Age.

WHAT a foolish thing it is for a man who, like Harvey Jewell, wants to be Governor of Massachusetts, to say that the intelligent women of that stafco have never asked for suffrage." Is not Julia Ward Howe an "Intelligent woman?" Is not Mary A. Livermore an "intelligent woman?" Is not Lucy Stone an "intelligent woman Is not Caroline Severance an "intelligent woman?" Lot anybody look in upon a Massachusetts convention for woman suffrage, and see whether its members are not "intelligent women." We have travelled somewhat extensively throughout the country, and we believe that the women of Massachusetts are as intelligent as those of any other stato. At least out of Boston.—Gohlen 17^'
