Womun's Rights-The Great Hartford Com
ventiOn-Beecher.


The women's rights women have had a
great convention at Hartford, and the pre-
sence of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and
his Napoleonic ideas, advanced in behalf of the
God-given rights of crinolne, have given a new
and mighty impulse to this revolutionary
cause. His speech was the browning glory
Of the Convention but even the women's
speeches at this gathering, as If under the
new inspiration of man after their own
hearts (and they can do nothing without the
men), were sparkling, graphic, pungent and
pretty good. For instance, Mrs. Livermore,
in opening the proceedings, remarked that
''prior to the war JEFF Davis was consulted in
reference to change Of the State seal. 1t
was proposed to make it bale of cotton with
q negro on top asleep; but Davis said it
wouldn't do; the nigger might wake up. With
the same cry of freedom you have Weakened
up the women, and for all time" Upon
this startling text the eloquent lady made
ringing Speech arguing woman's claims
to the ballot like lawyer; but the evening
session on Friday, with Beecher as the
orator, was sort Of women's rights jubilee.
Regular theatre rates were charged for adj
mission, but the house was packed, for all that,
to its utmost capacity with the cream of Hart
ford society. 1t was new sensation among
the Connecticut Puritans. As a proper pre-
lminary to the introduction Of the lion Of the
evening, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe sounded the
trumDet in a pOam commencing

The Byron Scandal.

The last number of the Atlantic
Monthly contains an article from MRS
HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, known
i'm the South as the author of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" which hascreated a more
hitter and relentless, as well as more
general criticism than that famous
hook Her last sensation is only a
long magazine article in size, and pro-
fasses TO be the revealing ofthe skeleton
that has lain in ByRoN's closet fol
about half century. Mrs. STOWE
nrofesses to have been intimate with
tbe wife ofLoy d BYRON, who impaired
to her the true reason why she became
separated from her husband. She gives
as the principal cause for the separation
that BYRON was known to his wife to
lie guilty of incest. There are num-
her of other improbable statements in
the paper, but the one we have men,
toned is the principal one. The whole
story is so monstrous and improoaole,
that every influential paper we have
seen respectfully declines to believe it.
II would have failed TO reach the no.
toriety it has attained, had it not been
written by lady possessing high
standing in the literary world. The
circumsiantial evidence against the
story is strong enough TO convict Mrs.
STOWE with wilful lying, and mali
ciously destroying the reputation of a
virtuous and respectable woman, Mrs.
LEIGH. Below we give some extracts
from a few newspapers upon the second
novel of Mrs. STOWE:
The Philadelphia Press, edited by J.
w. Forney says: "a more painful
narrative we never read-doubly pain
fnl because it is evident that it is false
and malignant to degree.
The New York Herald says: Bonner
himself with all his experience in adj
yertising, has been distanced by the
nIblisbers of Boston trancendentalist
P =
Mrs. Stowebetrays the usual inacuracy
rs TO dates, which proverbially charac-
terizes works of fiction by women
writers. ...,
Mrs. Stowe ekes out her sensational
magazine article by quotation and mis-
quotations from Byron's Incompatible
Ierse Why does not Mrs.
stowe nroduce some authorization to
nnblish The, particulars with corrobo-
ratory proof? The frightful charges rest
soIely on Lady Byron's assertion.

AshW0Od TableauX.

Seven miles from Columbia on the.
Mt. Pleasant pike, is situated an Epis-
copal church yclept 'St. Johns Chapel
Built in ante>war times, and attended
by those grand. old families whose
chivalric gal!antry and generous. hospi-
tally contributed no little to the wide
spread fame of Old Maury, you may
well imagine that in style and finish it
was all art could make it. Nature
seems to have been dissatisfied with the
handiwork of man, and has endeavored
to completely conceal it in a covering
of living green-beautiful English Ivy,
trailing over the walls from foundation
to steeple. Yet the fact which lends
most interest to this picturesque spot,
making it as sacred to ms as Mecca to
the Mohammedan, is, that around it
lie the remains of Cleburne, Strahl,
Govan, Gist, Carter and others who
fell at Franklin-gallant leaders i'm the
Confederate army,
"Whose fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by SageS
Shall go sounding down the ages,
Though their mould is in the dust.
The enclosure and the church itself
have had their useful ness and beauty
impaired very greatly during the war,
and very sadly needed much repairing
The ladies of the congregation and
neighborhood determined to'raise funds
necessary for this purpose, by giving a
series of Tableaux. Upon Monday
evening last, it was our good fortune to
be present al this entertainment which
for beauty, taste and discrimination in
selection of scenes and characters, we
have never seen excellcd, and which
can never be equalled save by an exact
repetition by the same parties-which
we hope and earnestly pray we may
soon have.
The TableauX were given at Ash.
wood Hall, the stately mansion of the
late AND. J. Polk, under the super
vision of Mrs. H. c. YEATMAN. The
most gifted pen could not do justice to
them. We, with our want of skill in
"word painting" shall not attempt to
describe, and must even beg pardon for
writing of which we would not
do if we thought programme would
reach your valuable paper.
We expected the threatening clouds
which rolled up from the west so heav-
lily charged with electricity, that even
ing, coupled with the distance from
town, would prevent large attendance
Although many were prevented by The
seemingly certain approach of storm,
from being present, still upon our arri-
val, we found large and intelligent
audience impatienty awaiting the
rising of the curtain. For q moment
we had an opportunity of glancing at
the perfect and elegant arrangements of
the stage, and the careful provision
made for the comfort of the audience
which / hear should be credited to the
exertions of those genial young gentle
men, Messrs. WILL and RUFUS IL.

WHITE WIRE
Clothes Lines

Being manufactured in such manner, with
white metallic substance, it is prevented from
ever corroding or changing from its beautiful
white color, in any number Of years Of time
1t is neither affected by different temperature Of
climate, nor by changes Of atmosphere, and
firmly holds its uniform color through the Sc
vercst frost and inclement weather. By exPef'
iment, the utility of the line has been found the
only article which is free from the great an
noyance occurring from the old fashioned Rope
lines, which are continually rotting and break
ing down, soiling and discoloring clothes. ~
using the wire clothes line all trouble Is avoid
ed, as you are never obliged to take them
down after they are put up IS they can DC lett
out in all sorts of weather..
The durability of the line Is one Of the great
est considerations, as it will last from thirty TO
Another chief advantage OF this line is that

they all contain parasites, which are
