NEW YORK. Nov g. 1869,


those among them who believe, with st. Paul, that
women should be clothed with sbamefacedness and
ought not to speak in public A few days ago she
was visited by man and girl, whocame together,
and whose object in calling was to induce Mrs
Lozier to scientifically prevent the population Of the
earth from being increased by one This Mrs. Lozer
positively refused to do, despite the bribe Of large
sum OF money by the gentleman, and the melo-
dramatic assurance OF the young lady that she
would kill herself unless Mrs. Lozer complied.
Twice the conscientious doctress refused
and twice the gentleman repeated his bribe,
doubling it each time. Disgusted and en-
ragged with such impudent persstency, Mrs. Lo-
zIer finally had the couple arrested. Not wishing,
however, to continue proceedings against the girl,
the latter was afterwards liberated but the was
held in custody From the prison he sent messen-
ger to Mrs. Lozier, offering at first $780, and then
$1,000, II she would withdraw her suit. The woman's
rights woman refused, and at this moment the
gentleman is incarcerated cursng the unlucky mo-
ment VIXEN his fate led him to call upon woman
whose devotion to her was too pure to allow her
to corrupt herself for the sake of guy saving one
from the consequences OF guilt
Apropos Of having touched upon the woman ques-
tien might remark that the Womdns World is the
title OF new weekly soon to be published. The
women are getting divided among themselves. The
chignons are splitting; but then why should there
not be instances Of harsplltting in this, as in every
other question:

Sunday Times and Noahs Weekly Messenger, of this

right-hand man, and If he chose to get to work at
book making could doubtless put together as many
interesting "reminiscences as Mr. Barnum, sand inh-
nitely more truthful ones. he has lately returned

passed among horned women and double-headed

the newspapers, and the effect upon him has been
similar to the effect upon the flower which was not

walking Through the Park.
The idea Of a neatly paved and elaborately shaded
plaza the City Hall Park between the old City
Hall and the grounds OF the new Post Ohlce, is
OF those Utoplan schemes which the papers and the
public love to talk keabout from time to time, but
which never find fu6lment. Just now the extent
OF ground which is to be covered by the plaza when
ever 1t Is laid out is all but impossible series Of
bitches. The ground there has got deeply rutted by
the passage 1t OF heavy carts going to and from
the new Post once grounds, and no attempt is made
to remedy this mush-like tendency, by having 1t
macadamized. The poutice pavement OF Fifth ave-

City Park This once green spot used to be called
one of the lungs of the city; but the lung now is
covered with tubercles f Imay be allowed that flight
of fancy, and will require to be doctored very
severely before it can become its old self.
Those Target Excursions.
One of our newly y-eected legislators has now the
opportunity OF securing a cherished place in the
bosom of every Gothamite who has business to at
tend to- loves to attend to it without being waaid
and DELAYED by those numerous target excursions
and civic professions of every kind, the participants
In which block up Broadway and the avenues. These
target shooters prefer Broadway. If they can sue
ceed In blocking up that thoroughfare and causing
an interminable jam of vehicles and pedestrians,
they are happy for the rest Of the day. Their rendez
yous is in Nassau street. opposite the Tribune office
and 1t sometimes happens, when they are in for a
row, that posse OF police is despatched to
that vicinity, with q carte blanche in the use
of clubs and pistols. But they do
not despise the avenues. Indeed, next to Broadway
they prefer street which has railroad in it, and SO
gives them the opportunity of disturbing the time
table for half q day. During the las. two weeks
targetshootng has been at its height, and not day
has passed that some OF the principal streets have
not been blocked up by the processlonists and the
course OF travel business interrupted for several
hours.
Fashion Reporters.
These pests OF the press never fourshed more
than they promise to do this season. No fashionable
wedding ball. or party is considered to be complete
unless fashion reporter is invited with the under
