WOMEN AND MEN.-Mr. Black well,
writing about the Era of Recon
struction," says: "Women, as wo>
men differ from men. Mind has no
SEX but in soul and character men
and women differ. As class, wo>
men are more peaceable than men,
therefore women suffrage will be in
fluential for peace. They are more
temperate, therefore their vote will
strengthen the cause of temperan ce,
They are more chaste, therefore the
interests of purity will be promoted.
They are more alive to moral and
religious considerations, therefore
the interests of morality and relig,
ion will be advanced by their vote.
As mothers they will always feel II
deeper interest than men in public
education Removed by their posi-.
ton from the influence of the outer
world-occupied as class by do
nestle and family duties, they will
always bring to the considerations
OF great public questions freshness
and purity of spiritual insight to
which men are less keenly sensitive"

sagA PHILADELPHIA ladv wifa of or

sarA Philadelphia lady, wife of an
editor in 1916, was the first woman
80 far as known to learn and possess
the printing art. But for an incident
in national history the fact would not
have come to light. The lady's name
was Hart, wife of James Hart, editor
of the sheet then known as Journal of
Truth. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence was brought in for
printing and Jane Hart begged
the honor to set it in type which
honor the husband at once assigned
to her. The Knickerbocksr Magazine
lately noticed the circumstance in a
mage of Philadelphia annals.

JENKINIsM.-A few journals, East
and West, amuse themselves, chron-
icling ball or fancy party, by tell
ling how Miss A-B., and Mrs. d
B, were attired, and how ele-
gantly they appeared, and all that.
The initials only of the ladies names
are given. 1t wouldn't do Of course
to mention the entire name; that
would be vulgar. We are glad that
this disgusting Jenkinism ofthe press
is just now receiving ten thousand
digs from competent satirists.-
Toadyism is bad enough in all cons
cience; funkyism is worse; but this
style of reporting balls which is too
cowardly to give full name, and
too wretchedly sentimental and vap
id to be tolerated in intelligent so.
ciety, is the worst of ALL Suppose,
for instance, that Milton in his Par
adise Lost had described the mother
of us all as madame E-who was
tastefully decorated with q fig leaf
which obscured, but did not wholly
conceal her angelic charms" Milton
did no such thing. He was no fun
ky. He wrote the name out in full;
and when be came to speak of the
Almighty who is supposed to be a
degree or two higher in intelligence
and power than the copering multi
tudes af ball room, the grand old
descriptive poet said "God" right out
in meeting, without stopping to ex-
press it thus, &c. It seems
however, that Americans can't live
without patronizing some intolerable
French foolery. Some exotic fash
ion lately imported is the rage all the
time; and the more silly it is, the
more admirers it is sure to have. -
