Mrs. Lucy Stone.

The Dayton journal thus speaks of Mrs.
Lucy Stone, who has recently been visiting
that city:
She eschews the abomination of Bloomer-
ism, and dresses as other ladies do who are
gifted with good taste.
We are glad to hear this. When Miss Lucy
Stone visited our city two or three years ago,
she dressed in the Bloomer costume, had her
hair cropped like boys, and presented any
thing but captivating appearance. She was
not tall enough to represent the Shanghai
breed, but rather looked like bantam. The
Journal further says:
Having seen the lady's name registered at
the Phillips House, and as we understood by
her own dictation, as Miss l.. Stone" we
ventured to inquire ifshe desired to be address
ed as sMiss Lucy Stone, or Lucy Stone Black
well, as the papers sometimes designated her.
81 call myself Mrs. Lucy Stone, sir,' was the
gracious reply So that the weakness of tax
ing husbands name has no place in the pro-
gramme ofthe true Woman's Rights Woman
But which of the two independent sovereign
ties furnishes the name for posterity, was a
question which, of course, we did not venture
! to ask.
The question is this, whether they will be
little Stones or little Blackwells. The father,
loving the blacks so we'll, would no doubt
prefer them to be Blackwells, and indeed We
do not think would object to their being vel
BACKED, but for the slur their appearance
might throw upon their ancestor on the male
side"

The Engine Sale.

As the Enquirer took an editorial position
yesterday in favor of the sale of the Washing
ton Engine to the city, we do not think our
friends of the Washington Co. have any right
to object to the Journals publication of COM
naunication in opposition to such sale. We
would here say, that whenever the columns OF
the Journal are opened to one side OF any dis
cussion outside of politics, the same columns
are Just as free accommodations on the other
side. And most certainly, having admitted q
communication against this sale, are we ready
to offer our columns for the use Of those main
tanning different opinions. Writing as 1ncog
appeared honestly to do, and as he declared
for the good of the city, and not in any perso-
nal animosity, we had no right to refuse publ
cation to his article, nor have we any apologies
to make for having granted him a hearing. In
the absence, however of any communication
in reply to his remarks, we have this much to
say in justice to the Company. We are as
sured by member of the Company, for whom
we have the highest personal regard, and in
whose sentiments we place implicit confidence,
that the members of the Company honestly
believe the engine to be good one. and not La
be to the objections urged against it by lncog,
and that they are perfectly willing to keep the
machine, if the city is not just as willing to
purchase her. We are informed that large
proportion of the members of this Company
are Germans. We are sure that some these
members are entirely mistaken, in thinking
their nationality has had anything whatsoever
to do with the feeling among our citizens
against this proposed sale. In Iced the objec-
tons do not seem to be against the Company at
all, but against their engine. We would pro
pose to this Company that they shall permit
their engine to be before the public six or twelve
months longer, and if, after the trials of this
time, she prove herself such machine as hel
owners claim she is, then we presume there
would be no great objection to the city's pur-
chasing her.
In this connection we wish to make remark
or two otherwise. The Enquirer says:
AS to the capacity of this engine, the state
ment made by the Journal is all wrong.
The statement made by the Journal was
merely to give the measure, as made by one o
the Committee appointed to examine the capa
bilities of the engine, of her throwing one par
ticular day. The Enquirer again says:
To crafty the spleen of some members o
the Neptune engine, who are in the Council
the interests of the city and of the fire depart
ment are to be sacrificed.
This is all wrong. There is but one active
member of the Neptune's in the Council, ant
we do not presume he would permit spleen
make him sacrifice the interests of the citl
and fire department. There are three mem
bers of the Washington Co. in the Council, W
believe.

WHAT DICKENS DOESN'T WRITE.-It has
been the popular habit to attribute all the best
papers in Household Words to Dickens, but
the London Literary Journal says that this is
a great mistake The writers for that period
ical all initiate his style, but there is rarely
anything from his pen published in its pleas
ant pages Some of the tales of the Holly
Tree Inn," the new Christmas book, are very
much in his style, but the same authority says
that he did not even write the delightful little
story of the childish runaway match to Gretna
Green. 1t was from the pen of Mr.. G. A. Sa-
la. A series of Twelve New Stories, by c.
Dickens collected from Household Words,
has lately been translated and published in
Paris and eight of the twelve were by other
writers. The privilege ofmaking use of Dick
ems name on Household Words is valuable
one, for which he is doubtless paid handsome
ly; but there are probably dozen others who
write more regularly and more frequently fol
/ it than he does.

A BAD Fire.

Last Saturday night about II o'clock, de-
structive fire occurred at Mr.. John Buffers
plantation in Kentucky, mile and ahalf
above the Evansville ferry. It consumed Mr..
Buffers barn, stable, cribs and stock house,
destroying 5000 bushels of corn, 1000 bush
els Of oats, 10 or II tons of hay; harness, &C.,
&c. The ccrn had been sold, to be paid for on
delivery, and of course the loss falls on Mr.. B.
He has been perfectly cleaned out, having not
bushel of corn left to grind up for his negroes.
Mr.. Butler is very young man, brother to
Mrs. Trafton Of this city, and bears the char
acter of a hard working, industrious man. He
had worked indcfatigably planting and gather
ing in his crops, and now-all is gone. The
fire was undoubtedly the work of some incen-
diary.

The Evansville Journal complains that the
cold Liners' at the 9th of January Conven-
ton didn't nominate any man who had ever
been a Wing for a State office. Well, what
Wing did the Fusionists nominate for State
office in 1854? Was it Collins, or Talbot, or
Nofsinger, or Mills? According to the best of
our recollection. three of these men were
renegade Democrats, and the fourth Free
Soiler- State Sentinel
Exactly so-and yet the difference is this:
The Old Line party have been begging and
pleading for the votes of old Wings, kindly
forgiving all their past errors and uttering sick
ly eulogies upon the late Wing party. They
have boosted that thousands and tens of thou
sands Of old Wings in this State, were going
with the Wing party's old foes this year-and
the Old Liners have offered them every induce
ment but one to do so. Yet State Democratic
Convention is held and not one old Wing put
upon the ticket which Wings are beseeched to
be so kind as to swallow. True to their in
stincts, the Old Line leaders parcel out the Off
ces among themselves. They only want old
Wing votes, taking precious good care they
shall have no share in the division of Offices
The "Fusionists" made their appeals for Dem
ocratic votes not for Wing votes, for those they
had, and although we did not approve of Civ
ing Fusion Democrats the lions share, yet the
fact of their obtaining it, is ample evidence that
the "Fusion" party, while they asked for Dem
ocratic votes, intended to give Democrats an
equal interest in the honors and emoluments
of party success.

OF The Cincinnati Columbian says frost
may be taken from cans of frozen fruit, &c.
leaving them uninjured, on the same principle
it is taken from frozen noses-by application
of snow, or cold water Surround the frozen
cans by snow, or ice cold water, so that they
may be thawed very gradually, or place the
cans in tubs of cold water, and let them stand
say twelve hours, out of doors. The Column
ban says further:
Remove the ice that will probably have
frozen over the surface, and you will find a
mass of frost adhering to the outside Of each
can, of from fourth to half inch in thick
ness. If they are frozen together, let them
remain in the water until this frost, with its
penciled rays most beautiful to look at) peals
off with little persuasion from blunt knife.
Here, ladies, you have secret, that although in
some cases, little too late for this year, is not
a bit too early for next"
We respectfully refer the above to our Ey-
ansvile ladies, hoping that if they find their
good things frozen, they will try the exper-
iment, and if successful, feel properly grateful
to u.s.
