Tho worth of Woman.



Honercl be woman she beams on the sight,
GRACEFUL and fair, like being Of light
Scatters around her wherever she strays,
Roses Of bliss on our thorn covered ways
Roses Of Paradise, sent fom above,
To be gathered AID twined in garland Of love-
Man, on passions stormy ocean,
Tossed by surges mountains high,
Courts the hurricanes commOtlon.
Spurns at reasons feeble cry.
Loud the tempest roars around him,
Louder still it roars within,
Flashing lights Of hope cOniound him,
Stuns with liles iGccssant din,
Woman invites him with bliss IN her smile,
TO cease from his toi and be happy awhlo;
Whispering wooingly-come to my power
30 not In search Of the phantom Of power
Homo, and wealth are illusory-come!
Happiness dwells in the temples at nome
Man, with fury stern and savage,
T ersecutes his brother man,
Reckless il he bless or ravage.
Action, ac;iOn--still his plan.
Now creating, now destroying,
Ceaseless wishes tear bis breasts
Ever seeking--ne'er enjoying;
Sin to be, but never blest.
Woman; contented in silent repose, .a
Enjoys in lis beauty lifes flower as It blows,
And waters and tends It with innocent heart,
Far richer than man with bis treasurers Of art;
And wiser by far in her circles confined,
Thaa be with his silence and lights Of the mind
Boldly to himself sutfcing,
1fan dsdains the gentle arts,
Knoweth the bliss arising
From the interchange Of hearts.
Slowly through bis bosom stealing,
Flows the genial currClt on,
Til by ages frost congealing,
1t Is hardened into stone.
She, like the harp that tiustiuetiveiy sings,
As night.breathing zephyrs sigh on the strings
RespOads to each impulse with steady reply
Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy try,
Rsar.drOpsa aud smiles on her couptenance play.
Like sunshine aud showers morning In Nay.
Through the range Of Mans dominion
Terror Is the ruling word
And the standard ofopiniOn
Is tue temper Of the sword.
Strife exults, aud pity blushing,
From the scene departing flies,
Where she bsule madly rushing.
. Brother upon brother dies.
Woman commands by amilder control
She rules BY snchantment the realms Of the sou
As she gIances around in thelight other SMILE
The war of the passions Is hushed for while,
And discOrd, content from his fury to cease
Reposes entranced on the pillows ofpeace,

pEATT or HON. JOHN R. GRYMEs.

The New Orleans papers Of the 4th instant contain long
obituary notices of this eminent and widely citizen
He died on the evening of the Sd instant and attended
during his illness by old and valued friends and by his
only child Mrs Samuel Ward Of New York. For nearly
half century he has been of mark in New Orleans
For long time says the Pcayune he has been invariably
engaged or consulted in stage of the proceed
ngs in almost every AT law in this city which in
voved large interests important principles and on pub
lie questions he was though not professional politician
often called by his political friends whenever it was
thought necessary to produce great impression.
Mr. Grymes born in Orange county Virginia. in the
year 1856 Emigrating to New Orleans about 1906
during the territorial condition Of Louisiana he was du
ring his active manhood prominent in all public ransac
tons Ofpublic offices, however, he has held only few,
and these Of great political significance He served in
his youth volunteer aid to General Jackson at the bat
lie of New Orleans in 1916 and shared in the military t
umps of the day He also trusted counsellor of the
hero of New Orleans in the subsequent legal proceedings
which obtained such historical notorety or civil appoint
ments he has been United States district attorney
and attorney general and has served in the State egis
lature and in State conventions for framing and amend
ing the constitution in all which capacities he was fde'
,~nces-a giant in debate with whom few would under
take to grupple.

THE BEALE CASE,

A second meeting has been held in New York by the
dentists of that city for the purpose of discussing matters
relative to the Beae in Philadelphia The meeting
largely attended and great diversity of opinion was
manifested respecting the various points under discussion
The opinion prevalent seemed to be that Dr. Beale
had been convicted testimony that unrciabe by
jury unacquaned with the subtle effects of ether and
thai great injustice had been DONE Sufficient disclosures
were made which ought to satisfy the public that ether or
choroform should be administered TO ladies unless in
the presence of their friends relatives After much dis
cusson the meeting agreed to forward simple petition to
Governor Bgler of Pennsylvania praying for the pardon
of Dr. Beae. The dentists OF Philadelphia appear to be
equally solictous the subject The whole case
from the beginning the ending is certainly of the
sraugest that were ever brought before criminal court

THE NEW DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR BILL.

Mrssns EproRs BY the proceedings in the House per
that the bill reported at the Inst session reoganzne
our diplomatic and consular system has been referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations and it is to be sim
ceely hoped that II will be promptly brought before both
houses for their final and favorable action during the
session. 1t would be serious matter of regret it il
does not pass previous to the adjournment
As who read with much interest your views on our
present system when this bill first reported shall he
pleased you afford me little space in your columns
to offer some remarks On the subject
Though this bill may not probably include all the re-
forms required still it embraces SO many important i'm
provemens that is well entitled TO the favorable action
Of Congress The present obsolete system shoud be aho
shcd "a il indeed mntter of surprise that defects of
character garipg, in direct opposition TO the genius and
spirit of Institutions could have remained SO long
without correction.
In making such extensive reforms provided for in
this BILL is be presumed that it is perfect in all its
details but il Tny be doubted whether better could
be discussed and passed and s bill is certainly
great advance in the right path it is to be hoped that its
passage will not be endangered by ruites attempts to
tend improve its provisions but to let any which
may be developed in the working OF the new system be cor
rected by future legislation they may appear Great
Britain whose legislative acts generally so well consid-
cred has in the last thirty changed her consular sys
TEN three four times and il therefore hardly be
leced that the first attempt at reform, Should pro-
duce one free of objections
The defects both in diplomatic and consular service
are in many respects the same and result in having
originally adopted the model from the old and
poded systems Of Europe and whilst other governments
during the last half century, have radically modified their
oregn systems to meet the wants and progress of the
The United States have obstinaely retained system mod
eled upon that which existed in Great Britain previous to
our war of Independence
The present BILL whilst it introduces many valuable
reforms also abolishcs abuses actually disgraceu to
e country and it should not be urged objection to
s passage that it may embrace oil the improvements
mat seme may suggest or think desirable
AS large majority of your readers may not have seen

some OF its most important changes.
