A lady of San Francisco, being invited
to send in 4 toast to be read at the ami
versary celebration of the landing of the
Pilgrim Fathers furnished the following
1t is spicy enough to flavor half a dozen
anniversary dinners
The Pilgrim Fathers forsooth -
What had they to endure in comparison
to the Pilgrim Mothers 1t is true they
had hunger and cold, sickness and danger
foes without and within-bnt the un-
fortunate Pilgrim Mothers Who ever
gave dinner in honor Of them? Who
ever writes songs, drinks toats, make
speeches in recollection of them ? This
self sufEciency Oh the part of men is be-
yond endurance. One would actually
suppose that New England had been COL
onized by men, and prosperity provided
for by special Providence Only Mrs.
Uemans has ventured to insinuate that
there was ever a woman in the case
that the May Flower never brought any
thing but men across the Atlantic. L as
sure you, my dear friends, that am per-
fectly disgusted with the self concelt OF
the men they appropriate everything to
themselves-even the settling of the col
ony and the peopling of the whole contl-
ncnt. I did hope there was one prerog-
ative they would leave to woman. We
have submitted quietly to their suppressed
ing US in many things, but we will not
tamely submit to be deprived cf this one
privilege we viii not allow ourselves to
b. deluded into the belief that New Eng
land was settled aud peopled entirely by
the Pilgrim Fathers. How could they
/ have been Fathers if there bad been no
mothers And L hope dear Captain,
that have succeeded in convincing
you that you will be lending yourself to
an act of great injustice towards US If
YOU do not propose in your toast, "12'e

uit, shows decrease OF nearly two millions in
specie. and upwards of three millions of deposits
in single week.

tween seventy six and seventy.seven millions the
discounts were considerably under thirty two
millions The present position of the b,nks is

months they have lost six millions of dollars in

Name proceedings in this case, more clearly or

Hartford Courant, which, we understand, was
written by Hon Jas. Dixon, formerly member of
Congress from Connecticut. Upon the main
point in the case it is especially strong. Judge
Kane sent Williamson to prison on the alleged
ground that he had perjured himself by making
false return to the writ of ha5eas corpus. Even
granting the truth of the allegation, it is shown
upon the highest authority that in just sach cas-
es the offender is to be held TO therefor at the
'ierf term Of The court not committed to prison

Kane of the only shadow of an excuse they have

HONOR TO THE LABOR sR.

HONOR To THE LABOR sR.
BY MAURICE BINGHAM
All honor 10 the Laborer,
He OF the toiing hand,
neither he explore the mine
Or cultivate the land;
Or, perchance he brave
The wild, teTpestuous sea,
Where foaming biIlows rave,
Duly honored let him be.
All honor to the worker,
On whatever calling bent
Whether in the open field,
Or unhealthy workshop pent;
If he follow his vocation,
And do no brother i'll,
The end of his creation
He's striving TO fulfil.
All honor 10 the toiling one
On either land or sea,
And as one of God 5 nobility
Regarded may he be;
Oh love him as a brother
For though humble being,
Remember all are equal
Before the great All-Seeing.
Let us honor, then, the Laborer,
And let him take his place,
And proudly be distinguished
From the useless OF our race;
though he owns no ducal honors,
Nor mas parasites to bow,
There's the stamp Of Gods divinity
Upon his ma My brow
