ceived by telegraph from Cape Race. But it is
much more detailed and will be found interest

The commercial advices from our Liyerpool

an important omission in the dispatches of the
City OF Baltimore's news from Cape Race. viz. 4:
that "aour had declined 669d. per GENITAL"

Antoinotte Brown Blackwell made a sneecl
at the Woman's Rights meeting held at Mo-
zart Hall, New York, on Thursday evening
last' The Times says of her appearance: She
came forward, dressed all in black silk, with
flowing sleeves of lace and of silk, looking
younger than ten years ago, composed and
prepared. She said:
The first demand of woman was that legally
she should be made equal with manSshe
asked only justice. Shakespeare is my demi-
sod," said male critic; "but if ho were
woman would not marry him." First, man
would lay the scalpel TO the brain and mare
away all its surplus, before his wife would suit
him. She spoke of father, who, sitting by
the open coffin of his only son, says, out of
his broken heartedness, to his daughter, who
comes to weep with him: "0h, my dear child,
wish you were boy;" discovering to his
insulted daughter that his pride and ambition
are bleeding more than his love. But she
takes boys for her model. She does all that
boys would do, hoping to win the love of her
tather. Boys study Latin-she studies Latin
aud receives the first honors. The delighted
father again insults her when he speaks his
hcart to her, "oh, my daughter, you ought to
have been boy" ..
Tho Medina, Ohio, Gazette of the 10Th in
dulgss in the following "whopper:" Samuel
Adams, who lives in the north part of Me
discovered choking to death. Not KNOWING
what to do, he took broom-stick LAYING near
and thrust it into her throat TO relieve her.
Ihe COW not rclishing such proceedings broke
away from him, and in her struggles broke
the broom-stick in twain. Mr.. A., still moro
alarmed, again caught the cow and thrust his
arm into her throat, but before he could reach
the stick the COW had swallowed it. The COW
recovered lrom the choking, and has since
appeared as we'll as ever. The stick remained
in her until last Friday, upwards of thirteen
months, and measured just eighteen inches !
during last summer, Mr.. A. noticed while at
Of ,nl
where the COW had lain through the night,
which had protruded through hole in her
side. Last Friday, the end of the stick was
visible at This hole, when it was taken from
her. The stick can be seen at Mr.. II. AL
lens. The COW is doing well, and probably
feels somewhat relieved.
