SKArINd.-Now that skating has be-
come one of the fixed necessities for
the winter season with the ladies, as
we'll as the gentlemen, of our country,
it may not be apparent to all why such
healthful as we'll as an attractive
amusement has never till within the
last five or Elk years been endorsed by
so many of our first ladies all over the
United States where the ice-King exists
We propose to give few reasons why
the ladies have taken to skating, and
why they will continue to engage in
this, of all amusements, the most grace
full 1t will be remembered by all,
that but few years since the style of
skating was q rough, blunderbus and a
very rapid performance. In time few
of our gentlemen who could not endure
this reckless and vulgar kind Of skating
adopted more graceful and deliberate
style, which soon established the fact
that of all graceful movements of the
human body now could approach ska
ting. Our ladies, naturally quick to
perceive the beautiful, saw in skating,
as practiced by pioneer masters. the
perfection of graceful movements. =
And being unwilling that their gentle
men friends should monopolize such
beautiful amusement they took to
skates and were but short time de-
monstrating the fact that ladies, (being
by nature more graceful in their move
ments than men) much sooner became
proficient in the art--learned from the
start more readily and rapidly, and,
what is very noticeable feature, have
elevated skating to be not only digni-
fed and polite form of amusement, but
have by their skill developed it to such
perfection that it may now safely lay
claim to be science.
Again, our sensible young ladies do
not mind the tumbles usually incident
to the beginning, but are willing to sur
mount so trivial difficulty for the sake
of giving to their forms an elasticity OF
motion and to their faces a glow OF
health in exchange for puny, sickly
figure and CHASTITY expression of coun-
tsnance which is SO common to them
when shutting themselves up by hot
stoves in the Winter season.
Whoever doubts the beneficial effect
of skating on the ladies, need but look
into the faces of those of our ladies
who skate and those who do not. We
are glad to see SO many Of our first
young ladies engage in skating.

for them, and more motives for the
disclosure OF their power. 1t is not
for women that we plead, but for So
ciety, to which God has made her the
priestess OF purity, and of the intel
lect, in alliance with spiritual things.
In regard to the particular question
about voting: woman is organized
mentally and morally, just as men are
and every argument against suffrage
for women is of equal weight as against
suffrage for men. If mother is
noble, who teaches her sons how to
vote, does she lose virtue by practic-
ing what she breaches
II men are made better by having
the responsibilities of society imposed
upon them, why will not like result
follow in the case of women ? To say
that they should influence their hus-
bands and sons and brothers, in poll
tics, but not themselves take overt &C
ton, is to prescribe for them all ex-
element without any of the re-
lief which action gives. 1t is not
right to allow such power of kindling
political feeling to women, without
any responsibility whatever for the re-
suits which it tends to produce "a
To say that women do not to vote, is
to say that women are not yet instruc
ted in their duty. It is seldom that
any one aspires to the duties of the
sphere next above them. Ignorance is
binding If a woman says, Il have
rights enough, 1 do not want any
more, I reply, Is Gods great good
ness to You reason why you should
forget the multitude who are less fay-
ored and who would find in woman s
vote sympathy and special applica-
ton to their wants, which could not be
expected from ? Because your nest is
builded on the high trees, is it comedy
in you to forget those who have build
ed on the ground. IN. Y. Ledger.

HOW THE BAsrILLE WAS TAKEN.

HOW THE BASTILLE WAS TAKEN.
The Bastille was impregnable. The
walls were ten feet thick at the top
more than forty at the base of the tow
ers. The people had no cannon. Its
batteries could sweepthe neighborhood,
commanding every approach. Its tow
ers were pierced with loop holes,
guarded by triple gratiugs. In security
the garrison could massacre the assall-
ants. Moreover there were hundred
and forty barrels of gunpowder In the
Magazine more than enough to blow
up all Paris. Delaney had sworn to
apply the match with his own hand,
rather than surrender. He knew the
populace was eager to tear him in
pieces. Yes, the Bastille was impreg-
nable. 1t lay like nightmare upon
France! 1t was crushing the life out
the Revolution.
For thirty hours the populace surged
against that Gibraltar, and where dashed
backed in foam of blood and torn flesh.
Without. the carnage was horrible
within, two soldiers were wounded. 1t
was plain the Bastille was impregnable.
A very great mistake 1t was very
weak, because it was execrable wicked.
One man was able to take ito destroy
it. This man could not be intimidated.
He came as envoy of the people he
was warned back, but he would not
obey ! The garrison fired at him, but
he pressed on he would be heard !" I
Summon you in the name of thepeople,
in the name of honor, and of our native
land, to withdraw your cannon and sur
render the Bastille. 4iatH
The Governor was furious, but the
garrison heard. Some of them we're
Frenchmen. They remembered how
they had cursed the Bastille before
they had entered to be its defenders.
The Governor saw their faces /; he
thought it prudent to promise not to
fire first upon the people. That was
not enough. The envoy must see the
cannon withdraw. He pressed to the
stairway, began TO ascend. The Gov
ernor ordered him to desist, drew his
sword, looked again at the French
guards, and followed, sheathing his
sword. He called to the Swiss guards,
who could not understand French, to
accompany him. From the summit of
the tower the citizens are seen advan-
cling in dense, black masses below.
"You have betrayed me-" cried De
Irauney, looking toward the guards
+" Sir" replied Thuriot, "the turret is
high. We are standing on the brink ;
word more, and one Of us plunges
over" Before the Governor had re-
covered from his terror, Thuriot had
escaped. More than half the garrison
had been made to remember that they
were Frenchmen. Then they gave the
Bastille to Franco They would not
fro upon their brethren. When that
dungeon fell, a hundred like it fell in
France. Everywhere the people took

sent as the offenders In all the history
of these troubles I have never seen or
heard before of such fact / repeat, if
the fact be so it is pro-
found mystery, utterly surpas-
sing my comprehension l am
constrained to declare that L believe you
are in very great error as to facts. On
careful examination at the proper source
l find that at the date of your letter four
cases only of homicides had been re-
ported to these headquarters as having
occurred since November 20, 1867, the
date of Order No. 40, and these cases
were ordered to be tried or investigated
as soon as the reports were received.
However, the fact of the one hundred
homicides may still be correct, as stated
by you. The Freedmen's Bureau in
Texas reported 160 how many of these
were by Indians and Mexicans, and how
the remainder were classified, is not
known, nor is it known whether these
data are accurate.
The report of the commanding off Ger
of the District of Texas shows that
since l assumed command no applica-
tions have been made to him by you for
the arrest of criminals in the State of
Texas. 5 tii
To this date eighteen cases of homi-
cides have been reported to me as having
occurred since November 20, 1867, al
though special instructions had been
given to report such cases as they occur.
Of these, five were committed by Indi-
ans, one by Mexican, one by an insane
man, three by colored men, two women
by their husbands, and of the remainder,
some by parties unknown-all of which
could scarcely be attributable to Order
No. 40. If the reports received since
the issuing of Order No. 40 are correct,
they exhibit no increase of homicides in
my time, if you are correct that 100 had
occurred in the past twelve months.
That there has not been perfect ad-
ministration of justice in Texas am not
prepared to deny.
That there has been no such wanton
disregard of duty on the part of the off
cials as you allege | am well satisfied. A
very little while ago you regarded the
present officials in Texas the only ones
who could be safely trusted with power
Now you pronounce them worthless and
would cast them aside.
/ have found little else in your letter
but indications of temper, lashed into ex
citement by causes which l deem mostly
imaginary; great confidence in the ac
curacy of your own opinions, and an in
tolerance of the opinions of others a de
sire to punish the thoughts and feelings
of those who differ with you, and an i'm
patience which magnifes the shortcom
ings of officials who are perhaps as earn
est and conscientious in the discharge o
of their duties as yourself; and a most un-
sound conclusion, that while persons ar
to be found wanting in affection or re
spect for government, or yielding it ODE
dience from motives which you do no
approve, war and not peace is the status
and all such persons are the proper sub
| jects for military penal jurisdiction.
If have written anything to disabus
your mind of SO grave an error l shal
be gratifed.
i am, SIR, very respectfully, your ODE
dient servant, w. S. HANCOCK,

McCunn can teach him decisive rapidity.
McCunn manufactures citizens out OF the
raw material at the rate of eight a minute, or
4sO an hour; so it would be easy for him. it
need were. to turn out 5000 free and indie
pendent Democratic voters in a single day
We need not remind our readers that the law
makes it the duty of the judge to satisfy HIM
self that the applicant for naturalization Is
really entitled to the valuable privileges of a
citizen that he has resided the requisite time
in the country; that he is person of good
moral character: and we need not remind
them either that this duty is habitualy over
looked. Such examinations cannot be ratified
off at the rate Of eight minute. Judge Nc
Gum distributes naturalization papers just as
the boys in the streets distribute hand-bills,
and lest the public should see how outrage
ously the business is conducted, and honest
politicians should be prepared to stop the
fraudulent voters at the polls, he does what
ever he can to keep the names OF the new
citizens and their witnesses secret, and to
drive reporters out of his court. He probably
thinks of the Naturalization mill as the Flor
entine critic thought of the cancan, that " 1t
