WoMAN's RIGHTs.-The advocates of
Woman's Rights are bothered for plan
by which they may flank lordly man
and, while he is secure in his innocence
and his unsuspicious heart beats unex-
citedly, to steal his great prerogative
of the ballot from him. They have ex-
pended much chin music in their thus
far futile efforts to accomplish this great
object. The Anna Dickinsons, Cady
Stantons, George Francis Trains and
other old ladies of the progressive
school may give over their labors. They
may clap sticking plasters over their
laxative mouths and be dumb now,
heuceforth,snd forever. The Shutdown
bard has discovered the secret of wo-
mans elevation. Hear him:

But learn the BARRIERS trade instead;
So shall the poll be brought to her,
To razor o er her husbands head.

A HEALTHY CITY.-By the report OF
DR.. Reeves, Health Officer, made 20 the
City Council last evening, it will be
seen that Wheeling may take rank as
one of the healthiest cities in the United
States. Her mortuary report shows
only eighteen interments for the month
of June, in population of about q, 0O0
and an absence of all epidemic diseases
remarkable in a river town. This
healthful state of affairs is in great
measure due to the extraordinary ex'
ertions made by the Health Officer tc
keep the city up to the highest point
of cleanliness.

THE CRoPs.-Notwithstsnding the
late destructive rain storms, careful
review of the crop prospects warrants
the opinion that the yield of wheat and
oats will be large, with fair average OF
corn. The general crops of the present
year are moro abundant than those of
any year during the past decade, unless
their present condition be spoiled by re-
curing and continued rains, which is
scarcely probable. Many people expect
a dry time during the present summer
and the coming autumn, and the expec-
tation IS fully justified by the law of
