The New RAILROAD ScuRME-The fol-
lowing suggestion from the LeClsire Regis-
ter relative to the direction OF the proposed
Msquoke.a Railroad through Scott county
is not wanting in good sense:
In connection with their new route, va
would respectfully direct tho attention OF
the projectors thereof to the route from De
Witt via Princeton and LeClaire to Davcn-
port, thereby enabling them to obtain the
large traffic now monopolized by tho Ster-

advantage Of railroad around the rapids is
patent to every one at all acquainted with
the locality, and especially to Davenport
and those wishing to do business there.

AIEapYEAR ETERNAL.

Mrs. Elizabath Cakes Smith proposes TO
turn the coming centuries into one eternal
and universal leap year--proposes, in fact,
that the ladies have the privilege in socie-
~ Of suing as well rs being sued--propos-
ing as well "a being proposed to. The Sun
treats the subject editorially, in avery
timid and non-committal way. The
writer declares che has formed no decided
opinion" aud declines to be counted eth
err among the friends or the antagonists of
the proposed reform" A nice man that is
for a woman TO propose to He would prob
ably tell her, if his tremors would allow
him to speak, that he chad formed no de-
cided opinion" We venture TO say that
the Introduction of the new system would
have little effect upon that man in one di-
rection or the other. The ladies are not
anxiOus 10 have men for husbands who
have no decided opinions andIwho declines
TO be counted either among the friends or
antagonists of great subject. That man
would be a wall flower; he would sit on the
sofa in one corner and would not be asked
10 dance at all, or to go into the conserva-
tory or out 10 supper. Nobody would offer
to put his rubhers on for him; nobody
would lean over him and whisper soft
things in his ear; nobody would help him
into the carriage, and pay the driver, and
all that-not a bat Of; women don't want
such men for husbands, and they wouldn't
propose 10 them. On a subject like this a
man should come out boldly and express
himself in 4 manly, straightforward
manner. As for ourselves, We do not hes
itate to assert that Mechanically, la

THELADIr9 OFTHE press.

Buffalo Courier: Some of the best writ
ing on New York papers is done by wo
men. Within few years this field of labor
lorwomen has been greatly .widened, and
il now affords remuneratiVe employment
to a large number Of intelligent ladies.
Nine tenths of the fashion articles are writ
ten by wOmea-as they should be-and
much of the miscellaneous literary work
Of the dailies and weeLlies is performed by
the same sex. Women are also employed
in composing rooms, and they are found
Just as useful and reliable as men. The
World employs a large squad of female
compositors, and is perfectly satisfied with
their performance. Many of the female
writers for the press are related TO editors
and reporters, and obtain employment
through their influence. The rate of com.
pensation is generally as high So men re
ceive for the same kind of work, and when
the work is as well done as men could
do it, there is no good reason for differ
ence ia the pay. About one hundred wo-
men in New York support themselves
comfortably by their work on the news
paperlpress, not, to'speak of those employed
in the mechanical bran ehes of the insti-
tuition.

IA declares that whenever, in The opinion
OF the Jury in any case, thu ofEense merits
less punishment than twelve months In the
penitentiary, the jury may punish by con-
inement in the county jail, etc.
Now, IN order to ascertain to what class
Of eases this statute was by the Legislature
intended to apply, we must recur to the
preceding part of the statute by which it
Is declared, THAT in no case shall any per-
son convicted of felony be confined for a
less period than twelve months" Then it
is apparent the statute was intended to APP
ply 10 cases in which persons had been
convicted Of felony, the punishment for
which was confinement in the penitentiary
and that, too, without reference to the grade
Of the Ofiense, or the length Of time for
which the accused was subject to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. The statute in
its terms applies to all fc,onies punishable
by imprisonment in the peDitentiary-it
has made no exceptions, and we can make
none.
The judgment OF the Circuit Court will
be reversed, a new trial awarded, and the
cause remanded. HAWKINS, Judge.
