The Children's KingdOm.

The women who have "struck" for
Amazonian privileges, not content with
the idea of subjugating man to their
rule, propose to elevate children to the
same summit levelof power and irrespon-
sibility to which they themselves aspire.
The ether day, at one Of their charact-
eristic pow-wows, sister proposed a
declaration of independence and bill of
rights for little boys and girls. She
thought their sphere should be enlarged
that they should be freed from the
CONSTANTS at present unjustly imposed
upon them Not an urchin should be
touched without its own consent, she
argued. All questions that the little
dears might be pleased to ask should be
promptly answered, and they must be
urged to think for themselves and to
act upon their own opinions. Such was
the dictum of this liberal-minded being,
and we commend it to the grave consid-
Grafton of the roly-poly inmates of all
nurseries and the pupils of all public
and private schools. The "blag-your-
boots in the City Hall Park, and the
youthful news-venders who dart into the
rail-cars regardless Of the circumstances
Of the conductors, will do we'll to make
note Of it. They are not half free
enough. Grown up men, who ought to
know better, sometimes advise them not
to chew tobacco and make old guilds
This is interfering with their natural
rights. Let the children's kingdom be
respected. We recommend the infant
community to 'organize" and 'sagitate'
under the auspices of the "Women's
Parliament" Revolutions never go
backward, and we have the fullest con-
fidence that when the present social con-
vulsion SINNERS down, the ladies and
the babies will be found floating, scum
like, uppermost."

Hot SULPHUR SPRINGs.-The hot Sui.
phur Springs beyond the Rocky Nouns
tains, in Little Wind River Valley, lie in
a basin containing about one hundred
acres, and are quarter of mile in ex'
tent. The middle spring is bottomless,
seeming to come from the very bowels OF
the earth, and the volume Of hot water it
throws out is positively immense. The
water at the edges was so hot that one
could hardly hold the hand in it, and the
temperature gradually increased toward
the centre. The water is of deep blue
color, strongly imprcgnated with sulphur,
and very clear. Within y hundred yards
of the springs well has been dug which
contains clear, cold water, perfectly sweet,
and without the least faint Of sulphur.

How to Make a Town.

\ u
Glow to Kill town" has went the
rounds of the press, and friend hands
us the following recipe to make one let
everybody try it:
Encourage every one, especially
new men, to come and settle among you;
particularly those who are worthy and
active, whether they have capital or not.
Their labor aloneis worth money. These
who have capital will buy lots, build
houses, or tear out and remodel the old
ones. GO to work and stimulate every
Legitimate enterprise by giving it all the
encouragement you can, or by uniting
your industry, influence capital in the
common cause. : Cultivate a public
spirit, and talk less than you work
Help your neighbor. If he is in dan
ger Of breaking down. prop him up in
some way, either by kind words, good
counsel, or lift from your pocket book.
If he gets fairly down before you know
his situation, set him on his feet again
his misfortune is to be pitied, not
blamed-and his talents and labor sre
worth money to the community. Besides
it may some day be your turn to need a
corresponding sympathy. Encourage
your local authorities in making public
improvements for the good of the town"

We may reasonably expect to soon
hear of most disastrous railroad accid-
ents, as the rivalry between the different
routes between New York and Chicago
has created strife as to which route
will make the quickest time, regardless
of safety. The distance between these
two cities by the Erie Road, Lake Shore
and Mich. Southern is 0SS miles, which
they propose to run in "a hours-being
over As miles an hour, including stop
pages. The distance from Syracuse to
Rochester-85 miles-was made by the
express train last Friday in eighty-fve
minutes There should be law in
every State strictly prohibiting such a
reckless tampering with the lives of
human beings. There are laws to pro-
tect dumb brutes-why not human be-
ings The first fast train," under the
new arrangement, that passed through
this city from Chicago, only carried ONE
pAssENGER-There seems to be a dis
position on the part of the public to
avoid these ''lightning trains" as there
are but few persons who have "made
their peace with God" in a manner
sufficiently satisfactory to themselves to
be hurled into his presence at such a
fearful rate Of speed.

How happy are they who their edit
ors pay, and have paid up for one year
or more. Tongue cannot express the
great JOY of the press when delinquents
pay up the old score. Printers toll all
the day long-yes they work for song;
and there is none that can do any more
than to call for their pay, for it takes
money, they say, to buy groceries and
things at the store.-ExCH.

When Prince Arthur was in New
Brunswick the ladies crowded into his
chamber, beseeching the valet to let

the valet, supposing they belonged to

Excursion trains are called pleasure

Frank p. Blair, senior, Of Silver
Springs, is considerable of farmer, and
occasionally has potatoes to sell. The
other day he sent off some vegetables,
grown upon his farm, and was somewhat
surprised, few days after, at receiving
notice from an internal revenue officer
that he had been assessed for special
internal revenue tax, as huckster or
produce broker. He declined to pay,
and the case has just been settled in
favor of Mr.. Blair. A farmer suggests
that the proper way for these officers to
do, is to take everything that man
earns, and give him back just enough to
keep him aliye!
