which the work of twenty or thirty days can

circular machines have been devised to par

THE woMAN's RIGHTS MONUMENT
has assumed a prominence in the public
mind, unexpected TO both friends and foes.
The journals and special advocates devoted
| TO woman suffrage are earnest and bflhgcr-
ent, and with conventions, lectures,
petitions, &c, keep up quite a lively
| agitation. OF course the &C.
centricities and lmprudencics OF some Of its
advocates are charged to the cause itself. as
proof that women are not fit to be entrusted
with the ballot But reasonable and think
ing men VIII judge Of cause by ITS merits
! and not by the dement's of Its advocates Ii
Is not always the noisiest and most oflicious
champions that do good cause most efficient
service 1t is not those who proclaim upon
the housetops, what should be done, but
those who quietly go and do II, who are the
truest workers for woman's cause, and win
| the most friends for il.
WHAT WOMAN CAN DO.
There is a striking example of this eli
! cheney, IN the history of a quiet lady-Iike
well known woman of this city. Those who
attended the Sanitary Fair here, in 1850. viii
RENE mber Mrs Myra Bradwell, wife Of Judge
| Bradwel, superintendent of the department
of Arms, Trophies and Curiosities, in BRYAN
Hall. The great success of that department
of the Fair, was chiefly due 10 their exer-
tions. Mrs. Bradwell being absent from the
Hall but one day out Of thirty, and never
| leaving II for fourteen successive days.
| When an appropriation from the Legislature
was needed for the Soldiers Home, in 1867
| Mrs. Bradwei, at the instance of some OF our
! leading citizens, was sent TO Springfield To
! secure 1t, and succeeded in getting S2L000-
! Si2,OOO year, 20 two years,
for that institution. Having
good legal mind, improved by a thorough ap-
premiership in her husbands Office, and see
ing sn unoccupied field which she felt aba
to cultivate, she quietly took possession, and
last October, began the publication of the
| Chicheo Leq0l Ae,rs. which-as its name
especially of the u. 5. Courts and of the
States Supreme Courts, in all important
cases, as soon as they are delivered, and
| long time In advance of the ordinary publica-
| tlon. So that 1t has become almost indispen-
sable to every good lawyer. And the Legis-
lature of Illinois looked with so much favor
! upon the enterprise, and deemed her so well
! qualified TO conduct It, that, BIZ special acts
| they gave her full powers of incorporation
a favor, believe never before shown To a wo-
man IN this country-declared the Legal
News newspaper within the meaning of the
| statute, authorized the publication IN il the
laws OF the State, and directed the Secretary
of State to furnish Mrs. Bradwel with certi-
fed COPIES of the laws fast az they were
| enacted, and made the laws and legal decis-
ions, published in the Legal News prima
facle evidence in sll the courts OF the State.
The paper Is admirably conducted, has the
confidence OF both the bench and the bar
and, with such an official and professional en-
dorsement 1t has already attained wide cir
culation and the best assurance of long and
| prOsperOus life.
mention these facts, not TO commend
Mrs. Bradweli or her papor-for they do not
need my encomium-but, to illustrate the
| truth, that the best way for women To en-
large their opportunities for usefulness is to
| improve those they already have. One strik-
| ing example such as have here narrated IL
worth to the cause of woman a whole year OF
| suffrage conventions, lectures and denuncis-
tions Of ''the tyrant, man."

to dissolve the injunction against the Bishops

Rev. Charles E. Cheney. The Judge closed

tribunal has existed or been guilty Of such in
Justice since the days Of Scroggs and JEFF
