WoMES.-Theodore Parker, in a recent
"sermon," uttered the following. touching
women:
There are three classes of Women.
First, domestic drudges, who are wholly
taken up in the material details of their
housekeeping aud child-keeping. Their
housekeeping is a trade and no more, and
after they have done that, there is no more,
which they can do, In New England, it is
q small class, getting less every year.
Next there are domestic dolls, wholly ia
ken up with the vain show which delights
the eye and ear. They are ornaments OF the
estate. Similar toys, suppose, will one
day be more cheapy manufactured at Paris,
Nurembnrc, at Frankfort.on the Maine, and
other toy-shops in Europe, out of wax or pa
pier mache, and sold in Boston at the ha.
berdasher's by the dozen. These ask moth
ing beyond their functions as dolls, and leav e
all attempts to elevate women kind.
But there are domestic women, who order
house, and are not mere drudges, adorn it,
and are not mere dolls, but women. Some
Of these-a great many of them-conioin the
useful of the drudge, and the beautiful of the
dolls into one womanh 1od, and have a great
deal besides. They are wholly taken up with
their functions as house. keeper, wife and
mother.

Cant Luce of the Arctic.


The conduct of Capt. Luce, comma nder
of the Inflated Arctic, is undergoing the Sc
verest criticism from several quarters in New
York and Boston. While many parties have
been heroizing Capt. Luce, by offering CON-
pimentary dinners and other marks of honor,
the New York Tribune has been cleaning
the facts connected with this terrible catas-
trophe, and submitting them to the consider
alton of experienced nautical men, for the
purpose Of determining the amount of cred.
it or censure due Capt. Luce.
Some of the passengers charge Captain
Luce with imprudence, in running his vessel
in dense fog, without an alarm bell, steam
whistle, sounded at intervals, &C., &C.
Such signals are but common customs, it is
alleged, on board of well disciplined vessels.
Capt. Luce is charged with fault, in sending
his mate to look after the vessel with which
they had the collision, instead of looking ar.
ter his own vessel. He admits himself that
"much of the destruction of life was due to
this error" He is further charged with
want of discipline among his crew, as the
chief cause of destruction to the unfortun.
ate passengers. The strong and hardy crew
seized upon every opportunity Of saving
their own rascally selves, leaving the pas
sengers helpl SIS in the extremity. and see.
ing the only means of salvation taken from
them by the very men who were paid to aid
them. The Tribune says of Capt. Luce's
want of purpose and con rol of his menu
"We repeat this was the captains fault; a
man of the right stuff for commander al.
ways piH have discipline on his ship"
The idea Of holding jubilee for the pur.
pose of herozing sea captain, for having
done nothing more than his duty, and strong.
y suspected of having done less, seems to
us, in view Of SO melancholy a catastrophe,
to be in exceeding bad taste. While large
portion Of our fellow citizens are mourning
the untimely and unfortunate end>of some
beloved friend or relative, it would seem
doubly appropriate to offer coincidence and
aid to the bereaved. rather than give gold
medals and champaign dinners to a man,
who has at best performed his duty in a
doubtful and imperfect manner. But such is
the shipping interest in New York, that any
great disaster at sea, connected with either
of the great steamship lines, is soon forgot.
ten aud drowned in just such attempts at
lionizing the officers of wreck, who gener-
ally manage to escape the fatality which
overtakes the innocent passengers and
crews.

Under the above head, the Vincennes
News of the Day, makes some very practical
remarks about the benefit of ewspapers to
towns and cities. The editor has been
pleased to illustrate his remarks by Evans
vile and the Evansville Journal. We have
just vanity enough on our part to believe the
illustration was very well chosen. We be.
lieve during the five years existence of the
Daily. Tri-WeekIy and Weekly Journal, IN
der our control, it has done more toward
building up Evansville, by its steady and
Jealous advocacy of everything calculated to
aid to its growth and prosperity and making
its business known abroad, than any dozen
other influences combined. We believe
there is nothing like a good newspaper to
prosper a town, and the best way to make
good newspaper better one, is to support it
handsomely. But the way to render a news
paper useless, and to PROSTATE or weaken
the powers Of an editor for good, by lessening
his interest in the prosperity of the commune
ty about him, is to refuse him that full sup
port the necessities of his enterprise demand,
and which are his just due as the organ Of
that community. How can person in his
position, labor enthusiastically for a set of
men, who withhold from him proper encour-
agement? How can be labor with that
earnestness which is alone really beneficial.
for the prosperity Of a community which
holds in contempt his prosperity! 1t is not
human nature, although it may be duty. But
these remarks are not applicable to us or to
this community. We have always endeav.
ored to deserve a good support, and we have
received our deserts in great measure. At
the same time we feel that this patronage
should be largely increased, and thus our
means of usefulness enlarged. We trust
our labors have been beneficial to the CON-
munity at large. We have certainly tried
to make them so. Here is what our proba-
bly, too partial friends Of the News of the Day
say of those labors:

Particulars OF the Fate OF
Sir John Franklin.

BosroN, Oct. "a.
The Motreal papers contain some addition
al details of the discovery of Franklin and
his comrades.
Ia the spring of 1850 the Esquimaux saw
party Of about forty whites travelling over
the ice, drawing boats with them. The In.
dians were out killing seals on the north
shore of King Williams Land. None Of
the whites could speak the native language,
but by signs. gave the natives to understand
that their ships had been crushed by ice, and
that the whites were now going where they
expected to shoot deer. All the men except
one chief officer, looked thin, and they SEEM
ed to be out of provisions, and purchased
some seal of the Indians, Later, the same
season, thirty bodies Of white persons. were
discovered on the continent, about long
days journey. (say 45 miles) Northwest OF
rye stream, which must be the great Fish
riv err.
Some Of the bodies were buried, some in
tents and others under boats which were
turned over, and several of them lay scatter
ed about in different directions. OF those
found on the Island, one was supposed to be
an officer as he had telescope strapped on
his shoIder and double barreled gun un-
derne IN him. From the mu tilated state of
many OF the corpses, and the contents of the
kettles in which thew bad been cooking, il
was evident that the survivors had been
eating the bodies Of the dead They must
have had an abundant stock of ammunition,
also watches, telescopes, compasses, guns
&C., all OF which appear to have been broke
up by the Exquimaux, as DR.. Rae saw por-
tions of these rite es with party he conversed
with, together with some silver spoons and
forks, and as many of these articles as could
be obtained, We're purchased and list of
them with drawings would be forwarded to
London.

MAKING THE MOST OF 1.-THE election
returns from Florida and California occupy
a much larger AMI conspicuous place in the
Democratic papers than those from Penn.

golden drops from distant sands. Three
Democrats are chosen from States which at
present send Democrats, and these are vic.
tories worth relating. Those little REBEL.
ions in three great States are not worth the
space necessary to recount them. The
