Mrs. STANTON says in the Revolution that
she has s. taken care of seven babies, yet has
worked in the cause of women twenty years
or more. We have addressed our Legisla-
ture many times, spoken on education, tenn
perance and slavery, and written many arti-
cles for the press. When we went to Albany
to address the Legislature, we took our nurse
and babies to the hotel left them safe there
in room, went to the Capitol, found it filled
with ladies, and made our speech. 1t takes
no longer to speak than to listen. When we
finished, we shook hands all round, and went
home to our babies, and the rest of the women
to theirs. If we were member of the Leg
isature we could spend the few hours every
day at the Capitol which other women spend
in fashionable calls, shopping, gossipping,
dining. dressing and idling." Yes, and no
doubt she would make better legislator
than most of the men who now monoplize

THAT notorious liar and reb-

" Brick" Pomeroy, has been
publishing in his paper a story
about a woman who was mar
ried and had one child. After
wards she gradually turned to
a man-was divorced from her
husband - married a woman,
and is now the father of chill
dren. This is about as big a
lie as Pomeroy's story about
Gen. Butler suing him for

that if Gen. Grant were made

him as a man who respects

was clothed from head to foot
in garments which his wife had
both woven and made and for
a long time she performed all
the work of the house without

Nevertheless, she knew how
to, be liberal at proper times.
franklin tells us that for some
years after his marriage, his
breakfast was bread and milk,
which they ate out of a two
penny earthen vessel, with a
pewter spoon; but one morn
ing on going down to break
fast, he found upon the table
II beautiful china bowl from
which his bread and milk was
steaming, with a silver spoon
by its side, which had cost a
sum equal in our currency to
ten dollars. When he express

American. Ignorance of FL
nance.
The ignorance of American
polite ians on financial and
economical questions would be
incomprehensible if we did not
remember it is only fifty years
since English politicians began
to know anything about them
that Fox confessed that he
did not know why the funds
fell. American politicians are
Ignorant for the same reason
that English politicians then
were, that the questions that
have thus far occupied their
minds have been constitutional
questions, and the financial
questions are entirely new
What makes the difficulty OF
instructing or leading the pub
lie in financial matters greater
in America than in England is,
that the great mass of people
are either actually engaged in
business or have more or less
knowledge of it. They there
fore cannot be persuaded, or
can only be persuaded with
great difficulty, that they have
anything to learn about the
laws OF trade, or the nature or
functions of money, or that it
can be possible for scholars or
students, or mere theorists, to
tell them when they have
enough of greenbacks, or what
effect more of them would have
on business. They are not ac-
customed to seeing anything of
this kind "thought out" or to
seeing legislation based on
theories. London Daily Neac8.
