TIE personnel of the Woman's Rights
Convention, at Albany, is thus described
BY q correspondent of the New York
World: Mrs. Lucy Stone Blackwell is
the methodizer and chairwoman. She
is quick, affable, and makes a good
p~residentess. It is amusing to see her
husband play second fiddle. He is a
mild, obedient man, and never speaks
without consulting his wife. He is
called Lucy Stones husband. Mrs.
Anthony drives the business, and is as
executive as Gradgrind, OF any other
q ; her forte is figuring. Mrs. Cady
Stanton attracts much attention. As a
speaker she swings round the circle with
ease and directness, and is the best
posted woman here. The lady is a good
deal OF n democrat, and a staunch free
trade man. Rev. Olympia Brown, Mrs.
Kingsbury and Mrs. Elizabeth Jones are
minor lights that 6ll in the chinks. Of
men there are three-one white, Parker
Pillsbury one intermediate, Fred.
Douglas; one simon pure black, and
Charles Remond. Pillsbury does the
writing for the women, Douglass tried
to be the big talker, but Remond, the
genuine darkey, takes the shine out of
bim-talks twice to his once, and makes
q great many good points. There is no
insincerity about these folks-they mean
what they say.

A SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. = About
thirty years ago, says the C~ulpepper
IVA. Observer, q lady was inferred at
Elk Run church in a heavy black walnut
coffin. The earth wherein her body was
deposited was dry and yellow, as it is
for the most part in that locality. OF
two bodies buried in the same grave,
this lady's was laid deepest in the
ground, and there being occasion to re-
move the bodies, owing to the destruc-
ton of the graveyard Enclosure by the
Federal army, the gfare was dug up
anew; but to the surprise of the digger,
when he had removed theupper coffin,
he perceived a quaptiN.of hair that had
made its way through the Sits and crew
ices of the coffin. The lid being taken
off, there appeared q perfect resemblance
ofa human figure, the eyes, nose, mouth,
ears, and all other parts, being very dis
tinct, but from the crown of the head to
the soles of the feet 1t was covered with
very long, thick and frizzled hair. The
g~rave-digger, after examining it for
some time, happened to touch the upper
part of the head; but was more surprised
than before, on seeing the entire body
shrink, and nothing at last remained in
his hand but a bundle of rough hair,
which insensibly assumed a brownish
red color. Prof. Rawls is OF the opinion
that hair, wool, feathers, nails, horns,
teeth, ETC., are nothing but vegetables,
and that It is not, therefore, surprising
to see them grow on the bodies of ami
mails after death. He goes so far as to
say these productions may grow on a
different place from that where they
were first germinated.s

HOW BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
FAIL

How many business men there are who
"hide their light under a bushel." A
man will start a business establishment,
fit it up attractively, stock IL with desir-
able goods, throw open his doors for
customers-snd the customers fail to
IN He cannot understand why this
is, and the only conclusion he can reach
is, that there is too much competition
iu his trade, and that he made a great
mistake in going into it. Another man
will invent or improve something, and
produce an article of real merit. He
expects to make a fortune out of it, and
offers it for sale-but it don't sell. He
is at o loss to imagine this failure, and
makes up his mind that he has spent his
time and money in a fruitless and fool
ish enterprise. Another man will get
up something to amuse or instruct the
public. he will labor hard upon its
preparation, invest his money in its pro-
duction, and fatter himself that a great
success awaits him. He opens his doors
at the appointed time in expectation OF
An immense throughput the people are
not there and they don't come. There
upon he concludes that his attraction
was no attraction at all, that he was q
fool to think it would be anything else.
The trouble with such men is, that they
hide their light under the bushel. They
expect the public to patronize them, but
they neglect the most essential thing
that Of letting the public know who
they are and what they have got. Or
if they do make a show of informing
the public they either hide their adver,
tisement in some sickly paper, with
only q nominal circulation, or else throw
away money on bills, circulars and
cards, that nobody can be hired to read,
The great point in business is to attract
public attention. Use printers ink
not eItravagantly, but j~udiciously and
prudently. Let the public know where
your business is, what your inducements
are, and success is sure to follow.

THE ApPRoAGHING SENATORIAL

Just before the election, in referring
to the approaching Senatorial contest,
we expressed a preference for Hon. Jas.
W. Nye, and gave reasons for that pref
erence which no Union man could gain
say. We showed that the course OF Mr..
Nye in the Senate on the various issues
connected with the great question Of re-
construction-a question which dwarfs
into insipnifcance all others before the
people-had been sound, patriotic, and
especially prominent; that his abilities
had secured for him q commanding intiu-
ence at Washington, and were a credit
to the intelligence and loyalty of his
constituents; that his return to Congress
was the expressed wish Of the Republic
can members who were best qualified to
Judge of the value Of his services there;
and, finally, that his uncompromising
adherence to Union principles had
brought down upon him the bitterest
hostility of the opposition, n 1t was
the duty of the Union party Of the State
to endorse his course by returning him
to the seat he was occupying with so
much distinction. Having said this, we
were content to let the matter rest with
the people, confident in their Judgment
and assuming no right to think for them.
The primary elections of the Union party
resulted singularly, especially so in
Storey county. Mr.. Nye took no part in
the contest here, having but just re-
turned from Washington, and combi-
nations of q singularly peculiar and
unexpected character pledged the
entire Legislative delegation of the
county to the support Of n man
for the Senate while certainly two
thirds Of the Union party were in favor
of another. With this support, and the
election of six or seven Democrats to
the Legislature in other Counties, the
leading competitor of Mr.. Nye triumph
antly exhibited a showing of strength
sufficient to elect him on the first ballot
of the joint convention of the two
Houses. This was a week or two after
the election. The estimate looked rea-
sonable enough on paper. Mr.. Nye was
the choice of the people beyond a doubt,
but by some hocus-pocus q majority of
the members of the Legislature were
pledged to vote for some one else. This
was the showing of Mr.. Nyc's opponent
or opponents; but there was a power at
work against them which they entirely
overlooked; which was weakening and
breaking the pledges they had exacted;
which was silently wrestling from them
the strength in which they felt secure.
That power was public opinion. As we
expected, its triumph'has been complete.
1t could not be successfully resisted.
The success of James W. Nye is now an
assured result, and his election will be
due to the force Of that popular will
which is manifesting itself so irrcsistibly
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. 1t is legitimate that that will
should govern, and they will do well
who accept it.-Entcrprise Of yesterday.

PARIS, December 24.-Napoleon &C.
corded an audience yesterday to Mr..
Bigelow, ex-Minister, and the present
Minister, General Dix. General Dix, in
his remarks, referred to the long stand
ing, ancient international amity which
existed between the people and Govern
ment Of France and the people and the
Executive of the United States. The
Emperor replied, thanking General Dix
for the agreeable manner of his speech.
His Majesty said: "The historical
friendship to which you allude as hav-
ing existed from an early date between
France and the United States constitutes
a sure guarantee that no misunderstand-
ing will distract the friendly relations
which prevail between the two coun-
tries"

The Sutro Tunnel.

A correspondent, who seems i'm
pressed with the Importance, nay, the
absolute necessity for the construction
OF the Sutro Tunnel, urges the want OF
what he calls a guarantee" that the
work will be prosecuted. 1t is rather q
novelty to propose that guarantees shall
be given for the prosecution of an enter
prise which, in practical Importance
and lucrative results, is admitted to be
one Of the greatest ever undertaken.
The practical point would seem to be
how to prevent the work from passing
into hands outside of this coast. The
work runs for four miles through and
into . mass Of ore which, only pune
.ured here and there for comparatively
a few feet on the top, has disclosed to
the world a value of $50 ,000, 900, OF
which S55, 900, 900 has been sent into
| the markets of the world. Those pune
lures have been made at a cost Of very
many millions, on the mere hope of get
ting the ore, and without any guarantee
either that the work would be prose-
cuted, or that, if the ore was struck,
| Congress would confirm the title. In
| the present case, a horizontal shaft or
tunnel is to be run through well known
districts, and Congress has given $3.50
acres of land to be selected, and the
''title to mines" for 1000 feet each side
of the tunnel. The value Of this land
will be several times the whole cost of
the tunnel, and when the $500 900 now
asked for as advance expenses from the
mines shall have been expended, 5000
feet will have been driven, and other
capitalists will then only have to take
valuable lands, and the rights they car
~ with them, for the expenditure Of the
remainder of the money-that is, they
will have a property worth $4,000, 900
put into their hands for the expenditure
of 81, 500, 900, with the prospect that
the completed work will be worth So
00O, 900 in addition. And we are asked
what guarantee is there that they will
take it? The guarantee is the well
known principle of self-interest, which
is "never at fault and always effective. y
When the necessity Of building the Erie
Railroad was presented to the citizens
ofNcw York, no person supposed that
it would pay as n stock enterprise, but
merchants subscribed on the principle
| that the work was a necessity to the
general business of the city. They sub.
scribed 81, 500, 900 without asking any
guarantee that the remaining Ss,00O,-
900 Of the estimate should come from
other parties. The subscription started
the work, and it was built. The Com
stock Tunnel is not only a great neces-
sity to existing interests Of vast import
ance to the coast, and indispensable to
the mines, but is Of itself one Of the
most promising enterprises that are now
on foot. The Illinois Central Railroad
long lay dormant, although Congress
had granted it aid in the same manner
that it has aided this tunnel. Finally,
citizens of New York took hold and i'd
vanced the money to build the road for
the sake of the land, which has realized
some $25, 000, 900. The tunnel is COM
paratively a paltry undertaking, but
promises much greater results.-S. f.

A MAN COMMITS SUICIDE ron THE

of the unfortunate man has not yet been

gated by the exploration Of ''dry holes"
as at first supposed:
az married a widow who had a grown
up daughter. Ny father visited our
house very often, and fell in love with
my step-daughter and married her. So
my father became my s~on-in-law;; and
my step-daughter my mother, because
she was my fathers wife. Some time
afterward my wife had a son-he was
my fathers brother-in-law, and my
uncle, for he was the brother Of my
step-mother. My fathers wife, i. e., my
step-daughter, had also a son; he was OF
course my brother, and in the meantime
my grand-child, for he was the son OF
my daughter. Ny wife was my grand
mother, because she was my mothers
mother. l was my wife's husband and

Sensational Novel OF X Life.

The Belfast (lreland) Whig says: 1t
is not often that a man who begins his
career by embezzlement turns out right
in the long run, and refunds with inter-
est the amount distracted; but IN in
stance of the kind, very remarkable in
its character, has come to light in Liv-
erpool. About six or eight years ago,
a young man, who had been educated
at Trinity College, Dublin, arrived in
Liverpool to push his fortune. His con-
duct while at college had been so loose
and wild that his parents declined to
have anything further to do with him.
But he was clever, a good linguist and
apt to make himself useful, and soon he
was engaged as a correspondence clerk
by an influential firm gin whose service
he worked himself up to such a point OF
efficiency that. they Increased both his
pay and his responsibilities. At length,
however, the 'old Adam" asserted it.

extravaganza, the young man helped
himself to his employers cash, to the
extent Of f3 5000. He, of course, him
self eloped, and all the ingenuity of the
detective officials could not disclose his
whereabouts. In the meantime the fu-
gitive went to America, and las after

well known dry goods merchant in New
York, with whom he remained until the
outbreak of the American q His
master being an ardent patriot, offered
to advance handsome sums of money to
any of his clerks who would volunteer
for the war, and the hero of this brief
narrative was one who accepted the Of
fer. He went through some of the Sc
verest brushes of the campaign without
receiving a wound, fought at Freder-
icksburg, Seven Oaks and other places,
and held d subordinate command dur
ing Sherman's great march. At the
! close of the struggle he fell in love with
and married the wealthy young widow
of one of the Federal Generals, who was
killed at Gettysburg. After their mar
riage the lady wished to visit England,
but there was one little difficulty in the
way-the e. OO. Ultimately, howev-
err, it was decided that the wisest course
would be to refund the amount; and, to
the delight of the Liverpool firm, they
received by the last steamer an order
for the amount, with 8 per cent interest
from the date of the cashiers elope-
ment.
