when > majority Of the intelligent
women Of the country ak ssr the suf.
sragc. it is in favor Of granting it to
them; but that it would not impose
st upon them. In other words il
would no, compel them to vote. We
are not aware that anybody proposes
to do that. Men are no, compelled to
vote. but they have the privilege Of
the franchise, II they see ft to exer-
cise il. All We ask is that those
women who desire to exei else that
right shall have the opportunity Of
doing so. We ask i, for the reason
that 1t a natural right Of which no
maiorities can justly deprive them.
Whats Have majorilies q right to
deprive minori,ies Of . voice in the
choice ofrulcrs? Who ever before
heard Of such thing! Majoritiss Of
those who have voice Justly decide
the questions Of policy which affect
them all, but it would only carry ou.
q principle directly antagonistic to
liberty and democracy were the ma
jority to Immediately deprive the mi
norify Of their right to voice. and
thus assume the roll Of .yrants over
them. Once let the Republican par
~ Of Iowa undertake 10 legislate the
Democracy ont Of the franchise. and
see how quickly and justly bloody
rebellion would ensue Yet men
coolly talk about the majority Of wom-
en- deciding upon this same question
for tho minority.
Let il be distinctly understood that
the question Of the franchise has no
reference to majorities; but is . ques
tion Of natural rights. No majority
can justly deprive . single individ-
ual ubo 10 to the manor born, Of ma
ture age, Of sound mind and uncon-
yictcd Df crime, Of the God given
right TO say how and by whom be Or
she shall be governed. Ten thousand
may say 10 and one yes; but the ten
thousand have no more right to tyr
anixe over the one than the one over
The ten thousand. Governments are
not natural. but artificial. The peo-
pie are natural and for their own
protection institute governments
Every individual il alike affected by
the government and essry indisidual
should therefore have m equal voice
with every other in it. This IL true
democracy and anything short Of this
il tyranny Of one class over another.

John,s Saturday.

JoHN's Saturday was complete failure.
In the first place, it rained. Secondly, he
OVERSIGHT himself, and didn't get up till
breakfast was over. Thirdly, he couldn't
find the mate to his thick boot. Fourthly,
in dressing, he got soap in his eyes and a
tooth brush bristle in his throat. Filthy,
he caught his heel in the rope door-mat,
and fell headlong off the front stoop.
Sixthly, Just as he was picking himself up,
his grandmother called him to come in
again because it was raining. Seventhly,
rs soon as he was inside, his mother made
him take off "those forlorn old clothes )"
because it was going to clear off. Eighth
ly, he put his knife and new ball in his
pocket, and on his way to Bill Scudder's
house, to get Bill to go nutting with him,
he lost the knife out of a hole in the pock-
ct. Ninthly, Bill had just been seized
with the measles and couldn't go. Tenth
ly, John consoled himself with pitching
his ball, and it went plump into the corn
field and was lost forever. Eleventhly, he
ran into Widow Morris's to get drink of
water, and somehow the glass slipped
through his fingers and broke into fifty
pieces. Twelfthly, it was raining hard
when he came out, and he ran in the
widows wood-shed for shelter, and tore
his new coat on rail in the door. Thir-
teenthly, he comforted himself by poking
at hornets nest with sharp stick, and
one of the hornets stung him
on his eye before he could say
Jack Robinson. Fourteenthly, rushing
out to put mud on the place, he stumbled
and fell into a big puddle. Fifteenthly,
the widows fierce dog then flew at him,
and tore his trowsers. Sixteenthly, 1t
cleared up suddenly, and while he was
walking home, all muddy and torn, and
with that swollen eyelid, he met Mamie
Green, the prettiest little girl in the place.
Seyenteenthly, on reaching home, he
found that the hogs had been IN his garden
and destroyed his pumpkins. Eighteenth
lv. his brother reminded him that he had
a composition to write for Monday. Nine
teenthly, his eye was so much better that
he was afraid he couldn't have an excuse
for not writing the composition. Twen-
tiethly, his tooth began to ache. Twenty
firstly, company came to supper, and he
had 10 "wait !" and twenty y-seeondly' he
went to bed.
Poor fellow How wretched he must
have been! Why? Who said so? John
never said it. On the contrary, he Whis-
tied ali the time he was undressing.
The fun of it all is that John was such
happy, good-natured fellow that nothing
ever troubled him much and he always
spoke of his Saturday as having the Jol-
| Hest lot of "fixes" in it that ever fellow
had.-HeaTth and Home.

A spider living m the country, and
having followed his business for time in
an obscure corner, determined TO travel .
little for improvement Of taste, and also
for any advantage in business which might
turn up. by his good fortune he turned
his steps TO flower garden, where were
displayed thousand blossoms of every
variety and hue. As we always compare
new things to something we have seen be-
fore, so in his mind he compared the col
| ors of brilliant flowers TO the various in
scots which in his chronological studies
| he had become acquainted with. Elated
with all he saw he passed ON, sometimes
creeping, sometimes throwing a suspen-
sion bridge from pier 10 pier Of flower
stalks until the thought occurred to him
that he had not dined or supped. Accord
| ingly he looked around for place where
on to spread his table, for spiders are
accustomed TO spread their table first, and
then to sit down ON 1t or near 1t to see
what good fortune will send them.
At length, after several selections and
re-selections, he found saloon of the
most admirable description. IT was moth
ing less than morning gloryl If he had
| only known the name which 1t bore in
the catalogue he would, suppose, have
been still more preud than he was of his
/
| which can boast name as long as u Span
ish princess, as this did. Ut was the Ipo-
med hederGced superbd grdndi f0ry)
| Across the opening of this splendid bell
| the spider stretched his web In the
morning first saw him there. The dew
| was fresh on all the leaves. He said to
himself" :"This is the very cell of pleasure
There will be enough hungry flies or other
insects coming here for honey 1t shall
be my business to entertain them when
they come"
Alas for day dreams While he was
thus fondly expecting his guests, / saw a
humble bee ofth largest size, heavily fly
ing from blossom to blossom, from colvul-
vuli bell to bell, and the thought crossed
my mind how queer it would be if he
should visit the spiderl Sure enough he
seemed to have caught up my thought for
in a second he carried his great blundeI-
ing body right down to the bell and dashed
his head through the web; but not liking
it he made of, like Samson, with part OF
his prison on his shoulders.
Meanwhile the spider seemed far more
alarmed than the bee, and sank back into
its flower house. Misfortunes never come
single, it is said About an hour alteR this
encounter / went out to see how the
, travelled spider was enjoying himself HI
, and both had forgotten one thing, ant
that is that on fair summer mornings tn,
| convulvuli shuts up its blossoms by ter
o'clock. While the spider lay securely in
side, the edges had folded down and close
5 the opening entirely! The flower hat
|, proved prisonl
| All, ye who spin webs of evil across tn,
y places of pleasure, and lurk for the des
t truction of the simple, may your refug
: prove a snare, and may you be caught Il
, the very net which you spread for others

Flowing with Elephants.

Several yearsago Mr.. p. 7. Barnum put
an elephant to the plow on piece of land
he owned ON the line of the New York tG
New Haven Rrilroad, at b idgeport The
duly costumed and turbaned "Asiatic" "
who tended the elephant was sure to be
seen busily engaged in plowing whenever a
train passed by, and ere long all the papers
IN the country noticed this pew and won
derful feature in agriculture in Connecti-
cut. Thousands OF persons came from all
parts OF the countryto see Barnum's ele-
phant plow. Presidents and secretali les
of agricultural societies wrote to Barnum
to know whether the elephant really was
a valuable addition to the animals used
for farm labor; how much work he could
do; how much food he required, and how
much he could draw.
To which Mr.. Barnum invariably re.
piled that the cost of keeping such an
animal, to say nothing of the original cost
of from $4,000 to $30, 900 for an elephant,
would preclude the general introduction
OF elephants upon New England farms
But then, as to how much an elephant
could.draw. why,.h calculated that this elG
phant, plowing Ia Bridgeport, would draw
at least 100, 900 visitors during the summer
TO Barnum's Museum in New York.
And no doubt 1t did. There never was
better bit of outdoor advertising.
Butin England they are now manufac.
turing large numbers of elephant plows
which are sent to India, for there the ami.
mai is made seryieeable in this way Two
men guide the plow, another man direct:
