WoMAN's RIGHTs.-Dr Harriet X Hunt
has paid her taxes to the city of Boston, with
her usual protest against the injustice of taxa
ton without representation. Harriet is right,
except, perhaps, in the way of spelling her
name. 1t is manifestly unfair that woman
who pays a large tax should have no voice in
the mode of its expenditure. No other bust
ness is managed in that way. If a woman
owns stock in factory, or a railroad, or
bank, she is allowed to vote upon it, and no
body thinks it is indicate, or unfeminine, for
her TO have an eye to her own interests, and
to the management of her own property. A
woman sits on the throne of the most power
full empire of Europe and fleets and armies
are commissioned in her name, and the enor-
nous revenues Of the government are admin
istered under her authority, which, if greatly
nominal, is at least as substantial rs that of a
male sovereign would be in the same place.
A woman who contributes to the expenses
of the government who helps support the
schools and to keep the streets in order, and to
pay all the other public expenses, cannot have
u word to say, except in the way of protests,
upon any Of these matters, not even to the
amount of the tax while her servant, proba-
bly, man Of foreign birth, goes to the polls
and votes away her money. Her only remedy
is to get married, and then she has husband
TO rule and take care of, and that is worse than
paying taxes. II this is right, it must be de-
fensbe by some other arguments than we have
seen. Laughing at it certainly does not make
it right and this is the main reply that Ia made
to the complaints upon the subject.-Proci-
dence journal.

MUSICAL.

The New York Post, in its notice of the
death of Judson j. Hutchinson, says the
hutchinson concerts, some fifteen years since
were as much the rage as the opera is now.
Good music was not so frequently heard then
as at the present day and the simple quartcttes
and songs of the Hutchinsons, with the ac.
compartment OF an asthmatic seraphine, were
enthusiastically admired. They went to Great
Britain, where they were well received, and
travelled all over the United States, until the
marriage of Abby and her retirement to pri-
yate life broke up the troupe. The brothers,
however, obtained the services of another So
prano, and made visit to California Of late
years they have not attracted such good audi
ences public taste has changed. They made
considerable money by their concerts, and sew
eral years ago built curious house at their
birthplace, Lynn, Massachusetts. Mrs Pat
ton, (Abby,) John and Asa are all that are
now left of the once famous Hutchinson fam
lily.

BUYING CUBA-The following amusing in

mans minding his own business, is related by
the Washington correspondent of the Philadel-
phia North American:
"At dinner party not long ago, certain
member of Congress had the indelicacy to
press the Spanish Minister frequently concern
ing the acquisition of Cuba. These thrusts
were parted with that becoming grace and
good taste which are well known characteristics
of Mr.. Tassara, who, from the sphere of journal
ism, has come to be recognized as leading
orator, poet, statesman, and diplomatist, of
Spain. At last his otficious interrogation said
substantially, Come, Mr.. Minister, what will
you take for Cuba, name your price 2 Mr..
Tassara instantly replied, with crushing calm
ness and dignity, When you are President of
the United States, and l am Prime Minister
of Spain, that will be time for such a PROPOSE
ton 1t may be supposed the subject was not
renewed"

SPIRITUALIsM ON A TRAIN.-During the
snow storm last week, and while the Western
train, bound for Worcester, was snow bound at
East Brooktield, the passengers crowded into
one of the cars, organized convention, and
chose Dr. Nelson Carpenter of Warren to pre-
side. The subject of Spiritualism was propos-
ed for discussion, and Mr.. Fairfield of Ware, a
fluent and vouble orator on that theme, pre-
scented his case, it is reported, in a very enter
tanning manner, and at nearly three hours
length.
Enthusiastic addresses were made by other
gentlemen, the discussion became animated
and general, and continued till morning, when
the shovels were brought into operation, and
the passengers went on their way.

foreign shipments, prices will probably keep

ceipts of corn next spring viii probably be
large, but those of wheat are likely to be mod

Cotton droops slowly under the continued
large receipts. The quantity received at the

CoUNTERFEIT.-A counterfeit of a kind not
named in the detectors, purporting to be bill
of the Peoples Bank, Roxbury, was detected
at the Central Bank yesterday. 1t Is an alter
ed bill, probably of some broken Bank of the
same name ("Peoples',"l and denomination
(S20.) The only changes that appear to have
been made from the original, are the substitu-
ton of the word Massachusetts" for the name
of some other State, probably New York, as
the arms of that State are on the lower corner,
and that of "Roxbury" for the name of some
other Town or City. The original signatures
have also been extracted, and new ones substi-
tuted. The vignette represents a female with
a sheaf of wheat, and sickle, and at the low
er right hand is head of Daniel Webster
but the surest mode of detecting them, is by a
sentence at the bottom, in these words, "secur
ed by the pledge of Public Stock and Real Es-
tate" which is to be found on no genuine bill
of the Peoples Bank at Roxbury.

When the train on which they embarked
