FAIR PLAY FOR WoMAN.-Gcorge W. Cur
tbs lectured on this topic at New York, last
week. Mr.. Curtis was favorite among the
women before he is now their champion
and when they come INTO possession Of their
political rights they will make him president
if his ambition runs in that way Mr.. Cur
It's must have said great many brilliant
things in his lecture, judging from the re.
PORTS of it in the New York papers. lie de-
clared the whole theory of modern society to
be the Cochin China proverb that women s
hearts bear good deal Of breaking" Chris,
tanity recognizes the equality of the sexes,
he said, but practically woman has no legal
and industrial equality. There are hundreds
of young men saying to hundreds Of young
women that life is blank.tll they consent
to make them happy; and when the long
worship is over, they settle down to their
sphere and become either beautiful flower
in the parlor, or head cook and superin tend
ent of brooches buttons! Is not the position
of woman in this country, after all, some
what similar to her position in the Turkish
harem? If unmarried, is she not obliged to
drudge for living, and be laughed at if she
strives to rise above that position? II mar
ried, does she not become simple mother of
children, a lay figure for millners, figure
head for her husbands table?
Never would there be, he thought, a COM
plete reform, never would justice be done to
woman, until she is allowed like men, to en-
ploy herself in any vocation for which
whether that vocation be the cultivation of
the arts, the stage, preaching, medicine, law,
or administering the government,
Mr.. Curtis thought that woman ought to
be allowed to vote, and maintained that the
exercise of suffrage would not distract them
from domestic duties any more than it does
men from their business. In answer to the
ridicule with which the suggestion is received
he said
When | voted for President entered a
line with ten or twenty men, and in ten min
| utts Hdu uphc tll 1 NOuli W nuhe Mt. Tre-
mont President Is it improper for woman
to spend half an hour at the polls, and high
! ly proper to be crowded for hours into lee
ture-room or church, to hear prurient
points in play or SEQ the pretty spectacle of
an opera? Cnwomanly for woman to drop
ballot in a box but quite modest and lady
like to to whirl in polka in the arms of a
man she never aw before, and have her che k
famed by his tpsy breath %
Mr.. Curtis closed by expressing the belief
that many of those who are present would
live to see in some of the states the complete
legal establishment of the doctrine of wo-
mans rights, as he advocated it 4; and would
yet witness the familiar spectacle of husband
and wife marching up to deposit their votes
in the ballot-box. This augury he derived
from the fact, that the only argument against
his theory is an old prejudice, which must
pass away before the necessities of social pro-
gress and the spirit of the age.

MISTAKE OF DRUGGIsT-PFovIDENTIA
ESCAPE. \ prescription was prepared the
other day at a Main street apOthecAry's by
an inexperienced clerk, for a young lady re-
siding on Fourth street, and sent home Some
thirty minutes after, the regular prescription
clerk called, and was putting up the bottles.
when he observed jar Of strychnine in the
place Of some harmless preparation, and call
ed attention to it. The Young man who put
up the medicine turned pale As death when
the discovery was made, and said, Great
God, have Just sent that to Mr.--, on
Fourth street
Not moment was lost and indeed great
probability was that the poison had been al
ready taken; but the clerk, determined 10
make an effort; seizing his hat and rushing
irantcally through the streets. until he came
to the house, and without waiting to ring
the bell, ran up stairs, and asked where
Miss--'s room was, ola lady he met in
the hall. She was alarmed at his manner
but as he told her life and death depended
upon his knowing Immediately, she pointed to
the door from which she had just issued.
He entered unbiddcn and Just as the young
lady's mother was about to administer one of
the powders, which was prepared in a
spoon, nearly at her daughters lips.
"Hold for Gods sake, Madam That is
poison Give it to your daughter and you
are her mur !eress ~
The wildness of the clerks manners fright
ened both ladies; the spoon fell upon the bed
and the daughters already pallid cheek
bleached until it was colorless as her night
robe.
The druggist was thought to be insane,
but few words of explanation revealed all,
and the tragedy was cxtinguished in the
light of joy at the providential escape,
The druggist returned, and relieved the
poor clerk from his awful suspense, by tel
when the clerk swooned away. This little
sketch, though it may seem dramatical, is a
simple transcript of an occurrence that expos
es a glimpse of the elmer life" OF drag
store.

MURDER II PoRTsMouru.-A horrible trag-
edy was enacted in Portsmouth, y. H., on
Saturday evening. 1t seems that Mr.. Daniel

to walk in the afternoon, and made call on
Mrs. Spinney's cousin, Nelson \. Downing

While there, Downing came home from a
hunting excursion to y wiz -, somewhat
in liquor, if not badly intoxicated and
though at first in good humor he got angry
at some real or iancied insult, and attempted
a violent assault, which the other repelled.-
Downing being at length overpowered,
Spinney, with his wife, then left the house,
amid the threats Of Downing that he would
shoot them. Downing followed them home,
and soon after o'clock in the evening, on
Mr.. Spinney and his wife coming t. the
door, he fir ID gun from the opposite side Of
the road, and Mr.. Spinney Immediately ex-
claimed q am shot My God he has
shot Sarah ~ Mrs Spinncy fell dead in

Mr.. Spinney was shot through the arm, but
not fatally injured. The murderer immedi-
ately fed, but was captured on his own
premises.
Mrs. Spinney is described by all as a wo-

The FRIENDS or DorGLAs IN THE SoUTH.-
! The Boston Traveller rebukes the insolence
of the threats that are uttered against Mr..
Douglas, by the mon who talk of crushing
him out as easily as though he were q third
rate Office seeker, instead of the representa-
tive of the great Northwest. After referring
to the strength of Mr.. Douglas in that sec
ton, the Traveller says:
/" Nor is it in the Northwest alone that
Mr.. Douglas is powerful, perhaps we should
say invincible. At this very moment he has,
to speak moderately, as many Democratic
friends in Pennsylvania, the Presidents own
State, Las the President himself In New Jer-
sey, his Democratic supporters are very nu-
mcrous. The Democrats of New York are
largely with him, and perhaps he has ma
.lority OF their number even in 'the metropo-
lis itself In New England, two thirds of
the Democrats are of his way of thinking,
and an honest expression Of opinion in the
Democrat here would leave the administra-
tlon few supporters in number, and fewer still
OF any influence. In some OF the slave
States,-as Missouri. Kentucky, Tennessee,
Maryland and Delaware, he has hosts of
Democratic friends. We see that the Cover
nor of Nirginia--Cnur de Lion Wise him
self-is with him and we may reasonably
infer that he is not alone in the Ancient Do
minion, which was saved to the Democracy
| by his cxertions only in 1855. Gov. Wise is
political Napoleon, always marching with
great masses Of men. He did so in 1910,
and in 1859, and in 1855, and in 1886. He
makes Presidents. II never heartily support
ed man for the Presidency who was not
elected President Buchanan is as much his
work as the wooden Mercury was the crea-
ton of the artist. He is aided by such South
den, Bell, and others, first rate men, and not
likely to be mistaken as to the tendency of
intelligent Southern opinion.
If Mr.. Douglas is in position to strike
heavy blows at the Administration party,
that party is not in condition to receive
them without being shattered What is this
party, which, we are told, is to devour the
Illinois Senator, as if he were child, and it
were blazing Moloch? Even in 1856, when
/ it won its last victory, the popular majority
against it was $50, 900, and it lost the sup
port Of half dozen old-fashioned democratic
States. Since then it has broken down re-
peatedly and could not, at this time, on a
fairly stated issue, carry a dozen States, nor
one ofthe three leading members ofthe Union.
Is it for the organs of such remnant of the
Democracy to threaten great men with de-
struction? Are these speakers for a skeleton
to talk as if they were utterng the DEGREES of
an organization Of living giants? Can they
expect not to be- laughed a, when they pro-
claim that Mr.. Douglas is lost man, and
that for him and his Misunderstanding in
the North such leaders as Bancroft, and For
nev and. Harris and Shields and others nf

CLARENDON HOTEL, }
NEW YORK., April l3, 1853. :

Dear Son;
Your kind favor Of the llth inst, TO-
getber with two numbers Of the Free Press, were
duly received. was pleased that you were so
thoughtful ns to put me down for 5lOO for your
Phunix Gift Enterprise; and had it been greater
would not have complained, as the object was
truly philanthropic. It must have been gratifying
to all prcsent at the meetings, that such universally
kind and generous feelings prevailed.
I particularly interested in the remarks
made by Mr. Chittenden, who said, if l recolect
right, that the growth Of Burlington had been re-
tarded by the high prices asked for land. will
bear witness that such was the in several in
stances last year, whore parties deferred from
purchasing building sites for the erection Of costly
mansions, in consequence Of higher prices being
asked than was thought reasonable. The fact is,
that the village Of Burlington and its environs
so perfectly grand and beautiful, that though the
possessors of the soil have daily them since
their infancy, yet new interests are constantly
springing up in their minds 70 enhance their value
in my opinion, without reason, except in imng-
ination. Your aTectonate Brother,
