ADAH IsAACs MENK EN-. This woman,
whose death in Paris, day before yester-
day, was announced to US by telegraph,
and whose fame has penetrated the four
quarters of the globe, was a native Of
this city. Her maiden name was Nc
Cord, and years agone, she and her SIS
ter, now a Mrs. Hall, appeared in the
ballet at the Varieties, then called Ash
& Charles Theater. Her brother, Johnny
McCord, as he WAS Familiarity called, also
lived in Memphis, and followed the oc-
cupation Of job printer in the old Bitl-
letia establishment. She was most re-
msrkabls woman, and il her talents had
been properly cultivated and her early
training been such as it should have
been, there is no telling what mark che
might have made upon the age. AS it
is, she is perhaps the most famous
hetoerist that has lived since the time OF
Lais, whose fame called great men to
visit her from all parts of the then known
world, and whose marvellous beauty and
wit turned the heads of the grave philos-
ophers.

The battery is composed OF zinc and gas car
bon, which are buried in the earth and gene
rate the electric current regularly and steadily
for long time, the moisture OF the earth beng
sufficient to produce the action needed without
the use of acids. The wheelwork ls OF the
aimplest construction, and when once adjusted
needs no more attention. These electric clocks
must be of the highest utility for railroads,
hotels, &C."
A Paris feualetonist says: "There is SO
much said by certain journalists about the fr1V-
olity and heartlessness of a very distinguished
lady (the Princess Metternich), that think it
is no mora than just if I mention here little
trait which was the other day brought to my
notice. The husband OF that lady had foot
man, who fell in love with madame's piquant
maid, and the two were married. A year after
the footman's young wife gave birth to rosy
babe, at the same time when her aristocratlc
mistress was confined. The mistress grew
well and nursed her child at her own breast.
The maid, however, was taken very sick short
" alter her confinement, and was unable to
suckle her babe. The mistress then offered TO
nurse her child too, and did so for two mouths,
and the babe is well and healthy to-day. How
many aristocratic women IN Paris, where every
mother vino can afford it shouts for wet
nurse as soon as she has given birth to child,
would have done that? We believe that the
aforesaid lady has much greater and nobler
heart than she is generally credited with
"A book has lately been published by Lord
Wilton ssOn the Sports and Pursuits OF the
English as bearing upon their National Charac-
ter" His Lordship attempts to show that
there is connection between political liberty
and field sports, between free government and
following the hounds. He attempts to show
that only those countries in which field sports
have been popular, have ever achieved or
maintained their freedom; and he certainly
argues out his case with good deal of skill.
The Pail Mall Gazette, however, takes his
Lordship to task quite amusingly. 1t shows
that 80 far as England is concerned, the sport
ing classes have been the supporters OF despet-
ism in government, while the liberties of Eng
land have been preserved by tailors and cob
blers. Lord Wilton himself admits that the
nurses and cradles of liberty have always been
great cities, and assuredly, in the times when
great cities we're the chosen abodes OF freedom,
the citizens we're not sportsmen. A sharp
line of demarcatlon was drawn between the
nobility, landed gentry and yeomanry, and
men who made their money by trade. The
merchants and the tradesmen Of England, at
all events, in the seventeenth century, and
even much later, seldom gave thought to
field sports. Such ideas were quite alien to
their ordinary habits Of thought, and horses
hounds and guns were no more for them than
they were for their scuIions or apprentices
Yet these are tie people. and not sportsmen,
who preserved free English institutions.

THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8. 1868.
The October Elections.

The October elections have opened most
encouragipgly for the friends Of SEYMOUR
and BLAZE Idaho, in the far West, has
given IN increased Democratic majority,
and this result hns- been HtI5' echoed 6y tho
East in the cheering news that reaches us
from Connecticut Another week and
Pennsylvania and Ohio, we trust, will have
struck ponderous blows in the good cause;
and within fortnight we shall have heard
from Indiana, West Virginia and Nebraska.
The following is summary of the statis-
tics by comparison with which the signii-
canoe of the result Of these elections must
be determined: Pennsylvania at the last
Presidential election gave 2O,O75 majority
for the Republicans. At the last State elec-
ton (1867) she gave 922 majority for the
Democrats. The Offices to be filed this
wear are those Of Auditor and Surveyor
Generals and Congressman. Ohio gave
Republican majority at the Presidential cleo
ton in 1864 of 54, ISL, and at the Gubernato-
rl8l 6leCtlOu lbot ycoI Va S0Oo' "A foAA N0A6ASS
sional ticket and all the State officers but
the Governor are to be chosen this year.
Indiana gave Republican majority Of 2O,-
1s9 for President in 1864, and Of 14,202 at
the State election in 1866. Speaker Col
fax's district (the Eleventh) returned him
to Congress by a majority Of 2428. A full
State and Congressional ticket is to be
chosen this year. West Virginia gave a
majority of 1874 for the Republicans at
the last Presidential election, and 6644 at
the Gubernatorial election in 1866. A full
State and Congressional ticket is to be
chosen or the 22d inst. Nebraska was not
State until 1866, when general election
resulted in Republican majority of l45,
out of an aggregate vote Of SO4l. She also
chooses State and Congressional ticket
this month.

and is not found OUTS allowed to vote
Why may not the same privilege be granted
to woman? Miss EVANS, the author Of
Adam Bede and Romola, con vote know
ingly, whether the spout of the parish pump
shall be straight or crooked. Miss BRAD
DON, or cavalry-smitten "Ouida," would be
an invaluable legislator upon our social
system. Any one of the thousands of spec
tacled umbrellaed, fat-footed women who
make "hannel veskits" for the Sandwich
Islanders, or collect coppers for the erec-
tion of model nursery in the wilds of
Kamschatka, could vote intelligently for
town clerk or president, or for delegate to
publican convention. Any woman who is
competent to make lover or husband as un-
comfortable as pig in sausage machine,
is fully competent to vote. If so, why not !?
Nevertheless, woman suffrage would not
neutralize the harm done By the votes of
ignorant and depraved men, because all
women are not intelligent any more than
they are all lovely and amiable. There
would be some sense in giving the right to
vote to educated women: but where is the
wisdom Of sending to the polls feminine
battalion who do not know ballot from
bonnet, who have no souls for their coun-
try, and no love save for sweet Augustus
Charles
The fair sex, however, are tired of dis
coursing with important face on ribbons,
fans, and gloves and lace, and will not give
up vestige of their rights. They had
rather compromise themselves than compro-
mise their principles, and will doubtless
insist that every woman of twenty years
of age shall be allowed to vote. There will
be no danger of minors voting. Few will
admit twenty one years who are not at least
thirty.
When the vote has been secured, the hold
ing Office will follow. They may have fe-
male members of Congress and female mem
bers of Parliament. As an English revising
officer says: "On the evening when it had
sheen announced that the budget would be
"brought forward, it might be requisite to
"annouuce that the Chancellor of the E1che-
"quer had just been confined of fine boy .
"Or if the Prime Minister had to be present
cat a particular moment in the House to
"answer some important question which
"affected the State, then the House might
shave to be content with this sort of an e1-
"cuse: That the Prime Minister was in the
"'lobby nursing her baby"
And what jolly fun it will be at the cleo
tions. The handsome man will be the pop
ular candidate, and the tired-out politician
will be laid on the shelf To one constitu-'
ent will be promised beau, to another per-
petual youth, 20 third a cap for the baby.
Soft words and sweet smiles will take the
place of pamphlets and orations. The mod
ern Mantalini will be in the ascendant, and
if all else fails, the successful aspirant for
honors will cheerfully agree to marry all
his constituents. There will be less of the
delicacy, the purity, the refinement and the
modesty of womanhood than there is now;
but the PROGRESSES -shriekers will be satisfied,
and the world will, be, safe, because women

Woman Suffrage.
"Man to man so Oft unjust, is
Always so to Moman."-lBYRON.

The maids and matrons of merry England
are joyous and glad, for thirty-three women
will vote at the coming election. Not less
than twenty thousand women claimed, in
person, the right of suffrage, and of this
noble army thrice eleven have been reward
ed with success. Mrs. John Bull has plucked
the first honors from sweet CADY STANTON
and gushing LUCY STONE. The women of
England have unfurled their parasols to the
breeze of freedom, and squeal with one &C
cord their famous cry: ''Latch keys and
ethe right to vote"
But, seriously speaking, this woman vo-
ting is anything but joke. Women are
already dangerous enough. They rule the
world, govern all minkind but themselves,
and make poor men their slaves. AS sweet
hearts they are inimitable. AS mothers
they cannot be surpassed. AS clothes pegs
they astound unbelievers. Had they less
faults, we could not love them more. Still,
when it comes to voting, when Rosalind or
Jane declaims, with the wife of BRUTus:
"Think you am no stronger than my sex ?"
the question is one of supreme Importance,
and he is the happiest man who forms no
opinion until he can be sure of swimming
with the tide.
Of course, woman suffrage is the natural
corollary of manhood suffrage. The male
scamp; the remorseless treader on the trail
of woman, the "horrid wretch" of society;
the creature who has no eye for beauty, or
mind for matrimony; the maliguer of chg
mons and panniers; the man who lies and steals
