WOmen's Homes.

We hear many good sermons now-a-
days from the text that the chief duty
of woman is to render home attractive
TO husband No doubt any good wife
wife will make this her OrOwnfng pleas
ure; but where duty is in the question,
here Is another phase of the matter
which Is sadly overlooked-the duty Of
the husband 10 make home pleasant for
his wife. AS a very small portion of
his waking hours are spent in the house,
where his Wtfe's life Is passed, II would
seem quite important that her con-
venience and taste should be consulted
AZ well as his. In their capacity OF
head Of the family, men think that the
ordering of the house naturally belongs
20 them. They build it to suit their
own taste and convenience, lay ont the
grounds according TO their own fancy,
and manage things generally = with some
deference to their wives wishes il Is
true, but great deal more to their
own. And sometimes their eaprices
woetully conflict with the comfort Of
the household.
The home should belong to the wife
she should plan the house, arrange the
furniture, lay out the garden and order
all the details. She knows from ewpe-
rence better than her husband can pos
sibly do, what arrangement best con-
duces to her housekeeping convenience.
It would be just as absurd for her to
undertake TO be the architect of his
warehouse, and to place the desks,
drawers and pigeon holes of his count
ing room, as for him to divine from his
.Jmniscience the most convenient spot
for her cupboards.
In the same manner, If trees are to be
cut down or left standing, or flower
beds to be laid out around the houss,
her taste should be consulted first, for
the sight of these things must delight
or chafs her all day long, while they are
of very little practical consequence 70
the husband in the evenings, which are
his chief time at home. Again, the
homestead should belong to the wife in
fee simple; she has right to the nest
n which she rears her young, and ought
70 be assured that it can never be torn
from her bY those reverses offortuns to
which, in this country. all are SO liable.
Women all feel this, though they are
apt to lack the courage to say IL; and If
their comfort and convenience were
once more paramount at home, If they
we're quite certain that the spot 70 which
hey are SO often advised to confine their
aspirations really belonged to them,
and was wholly within their control,
they would gladly assume the respon-
ibility, and strive with much greater
ilacrity than they do now to force their
husbands to acknowledge the ability of
heir generalship, and 70 appreciate the
delights Of home.-[Harp Bazaar.

WOmen's Laws.

Mark Twain says when women frame
laws the first thing they do viii be to
enact:
/. That all men should be az home at
ten p, NJ, without fail.
2. That married men should Destow
considerable attention upon their own
wives,
8 That Il should be hanging offence
20 sell whiskey in saloons, and that
6nes and disfranchisement should fol-
low in such cases.
4. That the smoking Of cigars to ex-
cess should be forbidden, and the smok-
ing of pipes utterly abolished.
5. That the wife should have the title
OF her own property when she marries
q man that hadnit any.
t'Such tyranny as this" says Mark,
tive could never stand. Our free souls
could never endure such degrading
thraldom. Women, 90 awayl Seek not

Three Times and Out.

Our Democratic Legislature is an ex-
peusive luxury. Not content with run
ming its last winter session into the hot
months, at an expense Of many thous-
ands over and above any Republican
Legislature even during the exigencies
Of the war, 1t adjourned over until the
unusual month of November, and hav-
ing had a weeks session-for what puF.
nose no body can tell--it again adjourn
ed until January, making three ses-
sions in one year.
yeution which framed our present Con-
slitution was q Democratic body, that
lis greatest boasted constitutional re
form was in the making of biennial
Legislative sessions, thus to save time
and money,-when 1t is also considered
that We are in profound peace, no re-
bellion on our hands, no war with out
siders. the people may well ask, What
has Ohio gained by electing a majority
of Democratic members of her LeGisia-
ture2
In the history of Ohio we cannot re-
call such body of reckless, silly, and
unprincipled men gathered in the Cap
itoI, as is now made OdlOus by the
present Democratic majority. The leg
isIarion of last winter was either mark
ed by folly or fraud, It was q disgrace
to the age and to the majority that had
control of such legislation, while the
session was by far the longest since the
present constitution was framed, and
the most expensive in the history Oi
Ohio. Not content with this the ma,
jority have now held two sessions and
propose to bold q third. Perhaps the
secret TO this short November session
can be explained by the pro mpt voting
down of q motion that no member
should charge mileage. What a beggar'
| Iy thing is Democracy that holds a use

it may draw its mileage. We think the

ROusseaus's Report.

Of all cool things General Rousseau's
report on the subject Of the recent diff
culties in New Orleans is the coolest.
He avows that If the Republicans had
attempted to vote there would have
been danger Of riot, which he claims
that he could not have prevented, and
he falicitates himself upon the fact that
the Republicans, knowing that they
would risk their lives by voting, did
not votel And this is the secret OF the
Democratic victory in Louisiana, as
stated by a Democrat. The bare, bald
fact seems to have been that the DEM
ocrats took possession of the polls, and
the Republicans voted at the peril of
their lives. This is free election In
Louisiana And this man Rousseau,
who claims TO be q soldier, and whose
duty in New Orleans was to enforce
peace and protect all men IN their
rights, has the unOlushtng effronteFy 10
declare that he permitted This outrage.
The stars ought 20 be torn from the
shoulders Of such q man - -oEeVeldHd
