Taking the RESPONSIBILITY.

Since President Jackson. of hickory

phrase has become rather common in the
mouths of all. Sometimes there are par
ticuiar situat tions in life, with which is
associated considerable responsi ibliiy,
and more than every one is willing TO as

sponsibilities that must be taken. not

have lately come out strong for woman ;
rights still some of them dread the re-
sponsi iblity attending success. Miss La

The lecturer defended himself with

rnsued on the floor underneath. when the
lecturer was finolly rescued BY his friends.

Several Ladies and gentlemen Of the
audience were likewise injured.
A party of soldiers were detached to
the scene, and on arriving quellcd the
