Woman,s RiRhts in England.

The Woman's Rights question is car

more effectually. In the new class list

senior boys, 2l2; senior girls, 81 How
many junior and senior girls have en-
tered at Harvard or Yale2 i observe
also that twenty five female candidates
for medical degrees have just entered
the Medical College of London. The
women here do not give so many lee
lures or make so many speeches on
woman's rights, but they 60 to work and
make them. -Four fifths of the work OF
the postoffices and telegraphs is done by
women. They keep large proportion
of the shops. They sell two-thirds or
more Of the beer and liquors In fact,
English women are, as a rule, sturdy
enough to take their own part,
and do pretty much as they like,
and would sson have votes and seats
in Parliament if they cared for them.

OLD TIMES.

From the Chicago Journal.l
That. beautiful song on the alumorons arr
That drifts through the valley OF dreams
IL comes from a cline where the roses we're
And a tunefui heart and bright brown mar
That waved in the morning beams
Soft eyes of azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow white foreheads are there
A glimmering cross and glittering crown
A thorny bed and couch Of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets OF prayer
ROSY wreath In a.dimplsd hand,
A ring and a sighted vow
Three golden links on broken banu,
A tiny track on the snow-white sanu,
A tear and n sinless brow.
There's a tipcture of GRIFFIN the beautiful SONG
That sobs on the slumbrous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
sinks down in the soul rs it trenbles alohE'
From a cline where the roses are.
We heard Il first at the dawn OF day,
And II mingled with matin chimes,
But wears have distanced the beautiiul iAy'
And rs melody ioweth from far away
And we call 1t now old times.

while in Washington, and although able
to be about and competent to transact or
binary business, was great sufferer, and in
complete despair OF his recovery, contem-
plated the idea Of self-destruction until it
became fearful monomania. n few months
since, in conversation with Mr Lingle, ed
tor Of the Courier, allusion was made to
the tragical end Of Gen. Lane, of Kan
sas, who had shot himself. That was
sensible" said Mr.. Mace. "for when a
mans life becomes burden to him, that's
the way to end it." He has at several
different times endeavored to procure the
means necessary for making way with him.

will neglect this important duty. Let the

ships attend to this matter in time, and if
there are any who are not acquainted with

The Surratt Trial.

From the Washington correspondent OF

Surratt trial:
The trial of the Surratt case has become
tedious and tiresome to an iItolerable de-
gree. The evidence was all in week ago,
and the ease ought to have been closed
Thea During the last four days Cat the

tom the latter have been engaged in ex-
aiming witnesses, for the purpose Of re-es-
tablishing, if possible, the character OF GER
tain material witnesses, whose testimony
had been knocked all to pieces by the de-
tense. This attempt has most signally
failed. The testimony that was given by
Cleaver, Dye, Wcichman, Lloyd, Mcmillan
and St. Marie. has been so positively con-
tradlcted that the Jury will give to it nc
weight whatever. In fact, the utter use
lessness of all that the prosecution has
been trying to do for the last four days is
SO evident, that yesterday the counsel for
the defense stated to the Court that they
were willing now to consider the case as
closed, and to submit the case to the Jury
without word Of argument.
The prosecution were taken entirely by
surprise by this proposal, and after hur
red consultation they rejected it, and stat
ed that they wished aud intended to argue
the case fully to the Jury. All the agu-
ment they can make, however, will be un'

see that this trial has demonstrated the
perfect innocence not ouly Of John II
Surratt, but also of his unfortunate moth

So much for Conways report. 1t shows

holders 1t shows that the reconstruction
plan Of the radicals includes the appoint
ment Of Federal officers to be paid out OF

dirtiest and most degrading work of organ
izing Union Leagues in the South. Is it
honest, thus to use the peoples money for
mere partizan purposes ? Honest pshaw,
we forget that honesty forms no part of the
radical creed beyond mere professions.

lar issued by the "Union Republican Elk

as the Grand Presidents Office is located
in this city, we are enabled to bring about
harmony of purpose and effort. Were am
pie means at the committees disposal,
there would be no difficulty in widely ex-
ending its operations. The demands
made, far exceed its means. present and
prospective. A large number of intelli-
gent men, white and colored, are ready to
enter the field, most of whom conld be ad-

been altogether devoted to circulating suit

to be so used"
