AwFULLY STRONG MINDED.-The National
Women's Rights Convention, which held ses-
sion last month in Washington City, adopted
resolutions demanding that women and colored
men shall be eligible to Congress; that women
shall have equal pay for labor as men, and that
suffrage shall be based on loyalty and intelli-
pence. An address will be issued to the coun-
try. When any of these dear creatures get in
Congress, we think it would be very fair-to
them, but not to true, good women,-to have
o goodly sprinkling of negroes (men and wo-
men) to sit with them, merely to give the strong
minded set strong scented effect of their own
Convention platform resolutions, IAN ounce
n civet, good apothecary."

PROVING Too MUCH-Brick PomerOy says
that he was the first person to name General
Grant for the Presidency ; that he did 50 II the
Spring of 1864, in the columns of his La
Crosse Democrat, and urged upon the National
Democratic Convention of that year Grants
nomination. All very likely, Mr.. Pomeroy,
but not very Democratic, to our mind.

draw all the breechloading rifled guns, and
substituting muzzeloaders.

A REMARKABLE FACT.-It is remarkable
fact, says the San Francisco Herald, that no
physician attending small pox patients, since
the breaking ont of the epidemic in this city,
has contracted the disease or given it to his
patients. Many of them who had never had
the small pox have been brought in daily con-
tact with it, and yet have providentially es-
capped infection.

TIE editor of the WORLD offers as an ex-
cuSe for forgetting manly dccency in his sour,
rllouS attack on Gov Ballard and Treasurer
Sterling, that Horace Greeley once let himself
down so low as To apply the cpthet liar" to
lIorato Seymour TiLtl Ware.
The editor of the WORLD has not offered
any excuse. nor does he think any excuse is re-
quircd, for saying, plainly, that Gov Ballard
" lied" when that functionary did VIGOROUSLY
and shamclessly tell a lie nor for saving that
Sterling is Il rascal who has plundered the Ter
ritorial Treasury, since the fact is well known
that he is guilty rs we charged. What we did
say, however, was, that carping Radicals, like
the Udre editor. who howl over our very prop
cr. just, and not indecent or scurrilous condem-
nation of Radical officials who err and sin as
Ballard and Sterling have erred and slnned,
do not only not reprore but do dpprore the rude,
coarse, and most indecent conduct of Radical
editors who, like Greeley, apply the stigma of
:" liar" and - traitor" and similar foul terms,
to exalted and pure statesmen, like Seymour.
and fancy, upon merely differences of opinion
on given topics, and not as in our case towards
Ballard and Sterling, upon matters of absolute
fact, and in which denial is not even offered.

WHAT WOULD OCCUR IF THE EARTH SHOULD BE STOPPED IN ITS 0RBIr.-n the earth should be stopped in its orbit, it would begin to fall straight towards the sun. As it approached more nearly to that great source of heat it would soon reach point where the temperature is ss high as two hundred and twelve degrees, and then all the waters of the ocean would be evaporated. As it drew still nearer, the rocks would be melted, and after wards they also would be evaporated. Be fore it reached the sun this solid earth would be converted into vast volume of rcd hot gas, which, when it fell into the fiery atmos- phere of the sun, would merely produce blasts of wind at the point where it struck outward in all directions.

THE Arabs illustrate their estimate of the different colors of horses by the following story: "A chief of a tribe was once pursued by his enemies. He said to his son My son, drop to the rear, and tell me the color Of the horses of our foo, and may Allah burn his grandfather 'White,' was the answer. Then we will go south,' said the chief, for in the vast plains of the desert the wind of a white horsc will not stand in a protracted chase Again the chief said My son, whst colored horses pursue usG Black, O my fatherr Then we will go among the stones and on rocky ground, for the feet of black horses are not strong A third time the young Arab was sent to the rear, and report ed chestnut horses. Then said the chief, we are lost. Who but Allah can deliver us from the chestnut horse ?"

Mfr. PARTON has an exceedingly interesting article in the Atlaatic for this month on nLog- rolling at Washington" He attempts a de- fehce of Congress, but is compelled to con fess to bartering corruption, as follows;
 Most of the members feel a particular interest in some eminently reasonable claims upon the justice of Congress which they are desirous to carry both for selfish and unselfish reasons. In many instances the private in terest which . member has is vital to him {; for it sent him to Congress, keeps him there. Every member, therefore, has votes to ex- change for votes; and it sometimes seems as if all legislation at Washington had degene- rated into log-rolling. On almost any day in the latter half of session spectator may see specimens of all the three varieties of log-rolling, which are these: l. Help me to roll my log, and I'll help you to roll yours. 2. If you don't help me to roll my log, I won't help you to roll yours. 8. If you hin- der the rolling of my log, yours shall never budge.n

The grounds owned by the Government in the District of Columbia, amount to five hundred and seventy-eight acres.

A ScoLD DEFrSED-Everybody remem- bers Webster's celebrated definition of a boil viz: IA circumscribed subcutaneous inham- nation, characterized by pointed pustular tumor, and suppurating with central core" The Christiaa Register beats this out and out in defining scold. It says: "The elements of character which go to make scold are conscience and the critical faculty, unmel- lowed by sympathy or any generous human love. A narrow, conscientious, bitter critic makes $ tirstrate scold. A male scold has more anger in his voice; a female scold more complaint in hers. lie scolds bitterly; she querulously. To the composition of the theo- logical scold is also added parisaic sense of being holier and better than the object of the scolding."
