WoMEN's RIonTs.- Among the curios.
tiles which winter at Columbus eff ,red
us,noi the least was hearing Lucy Stones
Argument for Wcmen's Rights. The
speaker was lady, young, modest in
her bearing, and we listened with inter-
estlto tho first discussion in. public we
had ever heard by woman Of questions
Of social and political economy. Whelh>
er night or wrong We must say that we
have seldom listened to speaker more
familiar with the practical bearings OF
the sobject matter OF discourse, ormore
plain, clear, and forcible in their states

woman dcsiresto do, is capable of do
ing well and that is proper should be
done, she ought 10 be allowed 10 do.w!h.
being told she is ovcrstepping the
limits Of her permitted sphere Of action.
She claims that woman's sphere is found
in the performance OF whatever duty or
the engagementin in whatever employment
God had given her the capacity fitly TO
discharge; as Gods gifts are the best in-
depreciation of His will in regard 10 wO>
man and lier sphere. She illustrated her
position by many facts, by the use Of
clear logic, strong palhos, and brilliant
aud pungent wit, and by an carnesiness
that proved to our mind that, however she
nigh, mistake the bes, remedy for exist.
ent wrongs, that she was no fanatic, hui
an intelligent woman, who Ind well cons
sidered her positions, and who was im>
PEELED by high sense Of duty 10 promul-
gate her views. In her own language,
we should say thai he who would meet
reasoning such as she presented with on
ly ridiculc is none other than Gan oldfngy
who ought 10 have died before the food.''
Her lectures on the merely political
rights OF women we did not hear, as we
felt little inietestin that branch OF hcI
effort. We fully concured, however, in
her claim for largely improved social
privileges for the sex. iei ar5'buf
