Another suit. not particularly important, but
interesting IN it's way, 10 the one brought by
Alexander Henderson, manager OF this Lydia

and making terrible charges against his moral
character, and Q few nights ago he attacked
him physically at Niblo's Garden. and gave

ANOTHER WOMAN MOVEMENT 'G
Has just beea inaugurated. with Mrs. Cathe-
rine E.. Beecher, Secretary Of the American
WOman's Education Society, as chief epg1-
,neer. The first meeting was held on Monday
at private house uptown, and resolutions
were adopted declaring that the proper way to
amellorate the condition Of woman Is to edu-
Catcher systematically for domestic duties.
There was . discussion on q resolution con-
demning the woman's rights advocates, and
the resolution was rejected on the ground that
it is not pohtic to quarrel with any society try
ing to reform the woman kingdom. The WO-
mans Suffage Association held another meet
ing yesterday and elected new officers for tt 9
year. Mrs. stanton was chosen president,
and among the vice-presidents and the COM
rO1ttAa-vVOmAn DtCk,nSnn Mro
Mrs. Senator Henderson, Miss Anthony and
pretty much all the other lights OF the woman
movement. The association started by Miss
,Stanton's association, but viii go in for elevat
ing women by trying to educate them for the
vocatlons for which they were created. What
the upshot IT all this woman business y i'll be
would be herd to say: but think society won't
be much ti.s better Of ii. a hundred years hence.

thousands are ready to believe it. AT one time

IL may be- true, nevertheless. Many stranger
things have happened, and many more will
much older. One of the gosslppers about Mr..
Stewart tells me he was receivedl into the Cath
ollc Church by Archbishop McCloskey. No
doubt Archbishop cOl0skey would be quite
not done go yet, perhaps he will some day.
You would be surprised if gave you list OF
the prominent persons who have lately gone
over to the Church OF Rome.
THE THEATRICAL sTTUAYIoN ..v
In New York is anything but cheering to. the
friends Of the drama. The. deldge osfbur-
it. NibioS, the Wa7erly. the olympic, woods,
the Tammany, and o few minor places are en-
tirely in possession OF buriesque actresses and
pantornime actors. and N . few days Wallack's
Grand opers House viii close ss next week. &c and
there, too, either buriesque or pantomime
may fool behind the footiights. There IL no
guarantee for Q rational entertainment during
Jefferson and other stars vii iii brief engssee
paants. The Academy Of Music is closed Tor
the summer, and the two houses now running
opera boufs are winding up. Not many OF the
old theatreRoers now snow themselves at any
Wallacks and Booths. WallackA superb
company goes to pieces this week, and there
is q rumor that Wallsck himself has lett us for
good. The New York stage is certainly il q.
bad way, and signs OF improvement are not yet
