TRAvEL.-The glory ofsteamship travel

serted OF the gay, the rich, and the beau

American opportunities. How can SEN

senger b,grimmed with dust, and de

to whom money is more than time, will
now occupy the steamers. The world
henceforth goes with Pullman by rail;

/. Love Powders. -

1t is believed by large class of our
citizens that the Love Powder" busi-
ness has been carried on III our city to
an enormous extent, and that certain
weilknown citizens have not only been
extensively engaged in the manufacture
of these and like articles, but that the
dealers have made thousands of dollars
out of their operations. Before the war
the business was not only larger, but
more lucrative, from the fact that the
wares advertised in glowing circulars
were sent to the South, where the be-
levers in the clap-trap set forth in the
circulars were counted by the thousands.
The dealers in this city made up decent
mail daily, their correspondence being
carried to and from the Postof1ice by the
bag full. All the letters received con-
tanned more or less money from the silly
dupes at distant points, who believed in
the wonderful workings of the '"love
powders" 1t is claimed for these
powders, by the manufactors, that once
administered by man or woman, they
cause the party drugged to fall desper-
ately IN love with the giver, and place
him or her wholly subservient to their
will. Of course, the representation is
very attractive. 1t is of nature, too,
that wins friends not only in foolish
young men and girls, but also in evil,
designing persons, who possess no heart
and less conscience who would willingly
administer the drug, even at the sacrifice
of life. We are led to make these re-
marks from the fact that love powder
case was before the Police Court yester-
day afternoon, in the shape of libel
between two dealers in these nostrums.

Mr.. Greeley on Woman. Rights.

In the Hearth and Home Mr.. Greeley
prints what he terms My Notions OF
Woman's Rights" We give those of
his views which will most attract public
attention:
l hold that God created our race, male
and female, with cleaF-seeing intent
chat il should thereby he rendered more
efficient, nobier, happier than it other
wise cuuia be, aiid that This diversity re-
iates not 10 ii single function merely,
but EXTENDS 10 our entire physical, i'll
tellectual, and motional nature. X
noiu that the appointed sphere OF man
Is broader, not higHeI, than that OF Wo-
man-tlIat the house hold is her XII e
ticnI within which her influence SHOULD
he paramount, and heI decisions have
the iurce of law. | affirm the
right of woman TO do whatever she can
do well, even though her ability be ex-
ceptional, and not common to her sex.
But even in that case, | would have her
work by herself, or with companions of
her own sex, as far as possible. The
pTomiscuOus employment of men and
women in shop or field has hitherto led
10 gross irregularities and corruplions,
ana 1 do not believe the time near at
hand when such commingling ,uay con-
fidently be expected not to result in such
lamentab.e cons. quences. AS
to government: | heartily wish the Yo-
men of our country, and of each State,
would choose their wisest and best to
assemble as delegates, consider the needs
and wrongs of their sex, memorialize
Congress and their respective Legisla-
lures for the removal oi those wrongs
am confident that such delegates, fair
ly chosen by the genera voice of tiIeif
sex, would make no demand that l
would not heartily second. AS
tOempiOy for woman, | hold that
there is an immensty of work to he
done that specially pertains to the
sphere of woman, which goes undone or
done very badly and expensively be-
cause most women reject it.
Hence. welcome the agitation for Wo-
mans Rights and Female Suffrage, as

The issue will not be such as the agita-
tors contemplate, for Nature is too strong

the great deep will be profoundly stirred,
and the result cannot fail to be whole

share OF the worlds work be allotted and
secured TO her, and the demand how
ever unwisely urged or mistakenly di-
rected, is substantially just.
