Rather Spicy.

The editress of the Olive Branch,
published at Boston, having received
a communication from Nashville, Tenn.
inquiring whether some female prin-
tiers could be hired there to 90 to
Nashville, replied as follows:
Every girl in Boston who is old
enough to work in printing Office or
any other Office, has lover, whom she
would be Just as likely to trade off for
a Tennessee article as she would be to
swap him off for a grizzly bear The
idea of a Boston girl who goes to opera,
patronizes Julien's concerts, waltzes
once week, eats ice cream, rides III
the omnibus, wears satin slippers,
sometimes kisses the editor, going to
Tennessee, except she goes there as
the wife of one of our first class citl.
zens, editors excepted, is truly ludi-
crous. Wouldn't a girl i'll silk dress
with lace edged pantalets and shiny
gaiter boots look well trudging through
the mud and mire of Nashville to an
old barn of printing Office, while in
one corner of the same room two old
darkies are jerking away at an old
ramage press and in the other the
editor is squirting tobacco juice over
the floor.
Wouldn't she be III a nice fix when
the editor and some great brute of a
fellow got to playing at the game OF
shooting their revolvers across the
Office at each others heads Who
would make the fire when--had
run off and the editor WAS drunk
Who'd go home with her dark nights
Who would take her out to ride on
Saturday afternoon and go to church
with her Sunday? No SIT, Boston
girl won't go to Tennessee for love non
money. She can get enough of both
nearer home.

A SMALL Loss-A GREAT MISFORTUNE.
81 have lost more than one hundred
thousand dollars to-day" said a gentle
man in New York City to friend who
was spending the evening with him,
and who related the circumstance to
the writer.

"Stocks which | had on hand are
worth that amount less than they We're
yesterday was the reply.
He was a broker, doing very large
business in Wall street. He must
have felt very sad over such a serious
loss, one would naturally think. Not
at all, at least not that any one could
discover. He talked and laughed, rs
cheerily as usual, and probably slept
not an hour less on account OF 1T.
After leaving the Broker, our friend
on his return home while crossing the
park, met boy crying bitterly,
"What is the matter?' he asked.
'I--I--I--lost my money!" sobbed
the little fellow. 1t must have been q
large amount, Judging from his pas
sionate grief
"How much did you lose p was
asked.
"1iro cents p and he burst out cry
ing afresh--his whole capital was gone
OF course, his fortune was soon re-
paired, and the t,co cents which he re-
ceived, without doubt gave him more
real pleasure than would the recovery
of the larger sum by the rich broker

Since the introduction of the bill Of SEN
ator PoDeroy, making the Neosho Valley
road branch of the Union Pacific, with
abe same emoluments and endorsements, a
more active interest has been manifested
by our people toward this road; and the sub
ject is being actively discussed by nearly
every citizen in the county.
Without wishing to dstract from the i'm
portauoe of any of the other projected
roads, we cannot but notice that the belief
is fast gaining ground that the Neosho Val
icy road must be built, if we would secure
the greatest advantages to be gained by
railroad Communications. A very active
interest is.being taken ia the matter all along
the proposed route of the road, aud the
.corporators have announced the subscrip-
ton Of ten per cent on oae million dollars,
Nths capital stock of the road. A meeting
of the stock holders will be held at this
place on tho 10Th day of February next,
to elect board of directors for the compa-
ny. Meanwhile series of meetings will
be held in every town in the Wiley, to dis
.cuss the interests of the road. ard its con-
nectiou with the welfare and material pro-
gress of Southern Kansas.
As measure are obout to be adopted by
Congress giving to Kansas complete rail-
road system, and also substantial aid to
make that system available to the present
generation. To-day ia the time for action
aud we cannot afford to endsnger tb,
prospects of any enterprise that viii
give us an outlet by railroad, or place on an
equality with the more favored portions O
Kansas. Therefore. We advise everyone
who can to attend these meetings. and learn
from those well posted in the matter what
should be done to secure the advancement
of the work, and the prospects for the Goa.
structiOn Of the road. Again. we say. le
everyone attend these meetings.

Female Suffrage

The folio wing petition for the extension
cf the right of suffrage to the women of
Kansas, is being circulated throughout the
State, and it is to be presented to the Leg
islature at the approaching session.
To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives ofthe State Of Kansas
We, the undersigned, respectfully ask OF
your Honorable body to so amend the Con-
stituIion of this State as to give to the wo-
men of Kansas the right of suffrage.
In presenting this petition, we call your
attention to the fact that we represent one
half of the entire population of the State
that we possess, equally with the other sex,
those important qualifications which alone
give prosperity and stability to republican
institutions, Intelligence and virtue; that
although by the Constitution, we are count
ed as persons 10 the basis of representation,
yet we are governed without our consent
compelled to pay taxes without appeal
and punished for violation of the law, with
out judge or juror.
And further, that the experience of ali
ages. the declaration of the fathers, the STAT
ute laws of our day, and the fearful revolu
ton through which we have just passed, all
prove LuS UNCERTAIN tenure Oh lie, HDefby
and property, 50 long as the ballot, the on
ly weapon Of self protection, is not in the
hands of every citizen.
We believe that all partial application OF
Republican principles must ever breed a
complicated legislation, as we'll as a discon-
tented people and thatin order to simplify
the machinery Of government, and insure
domestic tranquility, that your Legislation in
future should be for persons, for tax payers,
and not for class or caste.
And ia harmony with the advancing civ
ilizatiou of our age, in harmony with that
spirit of progress which has ever character
lied our young and noble State, and which
has made her the pioneer of liberty and Re-
pubicanism to. ths whole country. And
further, in consideration of all the self sacri-
icing labors, trials and sufferings endured
by the women, in common with the men of
our State. in her early struggle for liberty
and justice, and in recognition of the fact
that the. ultimate triumph Of those principles,
is due at least equally, to her efforts.
Therefore, that the grand principles of
Republicanism, justice and equality, may
be fully appreciated by your honorable
body, your petitioners will ever pray
