A Shanghai DcmOcrat--Turkey or
Chickeni ~

A rich joke was played upon recent con-
vert to democracy in Toledo, by our portly
and honorable Representative 10 the General
Assembly.
Hosmer visited this place few days since
for the purpose, we suppose, of looking after
the wounded and slain among the party, and
stepped into the Drug Store Of Peck d Ham
ilton either to get medical advice or crack a
joke" we don't know which.
Some fair daughter Of Eve had nicely dress.
ed two fat shanghai pullets and presented
them to the Doctor " for medical services rem
dered," and Hosmer's discerning eye very
naturally fell upon the fowls. Supposing them
for sale, the following colloquy ensued;
H.-Dr., what do you ask for such tur-
keys? [poin,ng to the shanghais.
Dr.-Six shllings.
Hill take one of them at four shilings.
Dr.-That's not enough for such nice, fat
turkeys; but as you have been stumping
for some time, and doubtless feel that you have
not only been engaged in bad business, but
are very much jaded 10 boot, I'll split the diff
ence and let you have one for FIVE shillings.
H,-Pll give you four shilings, and that's
all. -..... .aa.' .0|..t,H .' -,.# a .t
Dr.-Well, you can have one for four shil
lings, but it's too dogged cheap for such tur-
kies. ...-.. t
Hosmer passed over the four shillings, took
his shanghai turkey and went off full of plea
SAINT anticipations for the future, when he
should feast upon a smoking turkey dinner |!
If the feathers don't come out on his legs it's
curious ..'. ....... '-....

Married Mems Report upon Vomen's
Rights.


A petition for Women's Rights, addressed to the
New York Legislature, was referred in that body
TO the Judiciary Committee, W hich has lately made
a report According to the New York Daily News,
the Committee say that they are enabled to state
that ladies always have the best piece and choicest
titbit at table, They have the best seat in the cars
carriages and sleighs; the warmest place in win
ter, and thu coolest place in summer. They have
their choice on which side of the bed they viii lie
front or back A lady's dress costs three times as
much as that of a gentleman, and at the present
time with the prevailing fashion, one lady occupies
three times as much space in the world as gen
tleman.
ut has thus appeared to the married gentlemen
of your Committee being 3 majority, tthe bache.
lors being silent for the reason mentioned, and
also probably for the further reason that they are
still suitors for the favors of the gentler sex that
If there 10 any inequality Or oppression In the case
the gentlemen the sufferers. They. however,
have presented no petitions for redress, having
doubtless made up their minds to al inevitable
destiny.
"On the whole, the Committee have concluded
TO recommend no measures except that, as they
have observed, several instances in which husband
and wife have both signed the same petition. In
such case they would recommend the parties t6
apply for law authorizing them TO change dress
es 10 that the husband may wear the petticoats
and the wife the breeches, and thus indicate to
their neighbors and the public the true relation In
which they stand with each other"
