THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY,
The Athens EunaiiC Asylum.
Work fOF the Legislature.

An article will be found in our columns
this week from the Cincinnati CONNER,
cial, that completely lays in the shade
all communications from our Radical
correspondents, relating to the affairs OF
the Asylum at Athens.
The revelations made by the CONNER,
ciaz and Mr.. MEGRUE are astounding and
deserve the immediate attention of 8
Legislative investigating committee. The
charges are serious ones, and if sub
stantiated, our readers may set one thing
down as certain, viz: That the work on
the Lunatic Asylum at Athens will be
discontinued.
That 100000 appropriation

The Execution of Raleigh.

On the 29th of October, 1918, he was
beheaded. His behavior on the scaffold
was what might have been expected
from the dauntless spirit which, in its
experience of nearly the whole circle OF
human emotions, had never felt the SEN
sation of fear. After vindicating his
conduct in a manly and dignified speech
to the spectators, he desired the heads
man to show him the axe, which being
done at once, he said:
Il pray thee let me see it. Dost thou
think that am afraid Of it?"
After he had taken it in his hand, he
felt curiously along the edge, and ther
smlingly remarked to the sheriff:
''This is asharp medicine, but it is :
physician for all diseases"
After he had laid his head on the
block, he was requested to turn it or
the other side.
$50 the heart be right" he replied
sit is no matter which way the heat
lieth" .....
After forgiving the headsman, and
praying 1Or lew moments, the sigma
was made, which not being immediate
| ly followed by the stroke, Raleigh sale
to the eXecutioner:
"Why dost thou not strike? Strike
man r'
Two strokes of the axe, under which
his frame did not shrink or move, sew
cred his head from his body The i'm
mense effusion of blood in a man of six.
| ty-six, amazed everybody that saw it.
"Who would have thought" King
James might have said, with another dis
tinguished ornament of the royal house
of Scotland, ''that the old man had Sc
much blood in him ?"
Yes blood enough in his veins, though
enough in his head, and heroism enough
in his soul, to have served England fol
twenty years more, had folly and base
ness not otherwise willed it.

A Prediction.

We venture to predict that not a day
of the present session of Congress will
pass by without producing in one or the
other of the houses of Congress some
fierce denmciation Of the President of
the United States. Mark the other side
Of the question. The President sends
in message criticising in an able and
dignified manner certain measures of
Congress. Congress treats it with con-

The Proposed Club for Women in Lon.
don.


meeting OF ladies and gentlemen Interested d
IN the movement lately set on foot in London
for establishing club tor the accommodation
OF women was held In July, AT the School OF
Art, oxford street. Mr. HOdgson Pratt occu-
pied the char land explained the objects of the
meetIng, which Will be found described In the
following statement. A large number OF
young women are employed IN London whose
parents live IN the country, and who have no
relations or friends TO whose houses they can
resort on Sundays or on the week day evenings
when they are Al leisure For such women
sun able places OF resort for recreation, study
freshment and society seem 10 be urgently
needed. II is therefore thought desirable TO set
on FOOT something in the nature of clubs for
women, where they shall be free from all inter.
terence; but where at the same time .the man.
a-ement shall be such as to secure the members
from evil influences. While there shall be per.
feet independence, opportunities shall be
anorde0 Tor the cultivation OF elevatlng pur-
suits and refined tastes. At a club such as is
proposed, refreshments of all kinds would op
supplied, together with means of rest, O. writ.
ing, society, and OF access to books and periodi-
Gals. Such places are especially needed on
Sundays, in consequence of the custom which
prevails in many establishments OF requiring
tie young women TO leave the house on that
Gay, and it was thought the proposed club
would have the effect OF obviating this very
serious evil.
The chairman observed that this WAS not
the first time that simil lar scheme had been
proposed, an association having been started
some time ago, under the auspices of Lord
Shaftesbury, for the formation Of homes in
connection with the Christian and domestic
improvement Of young women. That institu-
ton, heWever, was too directly and exclusively
of a religious character to meet the present re-
quirement; and hence there could be no doubt
that these clubs are deserving of every encour-
agement and support. Letters were read from
several ladies and gentlemen cordia Ily approy
ing of the project, and resolutions Were passed
tc the following effect: That il Is desirable
that an institution should be established for
women which should provide them with the
advantages generally found at workingmen,s
Clubs, such as the means of recreation, society
al d mental improvement; and that a provision
al committee be appointed to make inquiries as
10 the best mode OF carrying out the project.
and reporting the result 10 future meeting of
those who may be inclined to support the
undertaking."
