Woman and the Ballot"

Under this caption, the well known
Methodist divine, Rev. II. NJ. Hatfield,
publishes through the New York IHde-
pendent most able and exhaustive ar
.icle upon the reasons and necessity for
and effect OF bestowing the ballot upon
women. We quote below the four gen
eral propositions offered by this article
as reasons why the efforts of the agita-
tors who are trying to cause social
revolution ought not to succeed. They
are as follows, and though detached
from the sustaining arguments of the
article by which the truth and peril
nency of each is enforced, they can not
he thoughtfuIlv read without acknowl-
edgement of their claims to considera-
ton:
1st The advocacy Of the cause is, for
the most part, in bad hands and is badly
managed.
2nd. II las not been shoun that Jcn,ulc
Sufrdgc is Il remedy for the crHs 50 pd-
Meticuhy described by the adrocatcs Of
,roDtans rights.
3rd There is but little doubt that
female suffrage would greatly augment
if not double the political power of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
States.

Extraordinary Spectacle in Ten
neSSee.

The most curious phenomenon which
we have ever heard of, occurred in
Cheatham county on Wednesday last.
The day, it will be remembered, was
remarkably hot. so that most people in
the county had to seek the shade about
noon. At this hour, on the farm OF Ed.
Sharp, five miles from Ashland, sort
Of whirlwind came along over the neigh
boring woods, taking up small branches
and leaves of trees and burning them in
a sort of flaming cylinder that travelled
at the rate of about five miles an hour,
and developing size As it travelled. 1t
passed directly over the spot where a
team of horses We're feeding and singed
their names and tails up to the roots; it
then swept toward the house, taking Il
stack Of hay in its course, which 1t set
on fire. 1t seemed to increase i'm heat as
it went, and by the time it reached the
house, it Immediately fired the shing les
from end to end of the building, so that
i'm ten minutes tho whole dwelling was
wrapped in flames. The tall column of
travelling caloric then continued its
course over wheat field that had been
recently graded, setting fire to all the
stacks that happened to be in its course.
Passing from the field its path lay over
Il stretch of woods which reached to the
river. The green leaves on the trees
were crisped to cinder for Il breadth of
twenty yards, in Il straight line to the
Cumberland. When the "pillar of fire"
reached the water, it suddenly changed
its route down the river, raising IA col
umn of steam which went up to the
clouds for about half a mile, when it
finally died out. Not less than two
hundred people witnessed this strangest
of strange phenomena, aud all of them
tell substantially the same story about
it. The farmer sharp was left houseless
by the devouring element. and his two
horses were so affected that no good is
expected to be got out of them in the fu-
ture. Several withered trees III the
woods through which it passed were set
on fire, and continue burning STILL

The Crops in ENGLAND.

| The condition and prospects of this
years crops in England are summed up
by recent London agricultural jour
nal: M
THE wheats in the north and east are
certainly not first rate. From North
Yorkshire we learn that there Is thin
and defective plant on the heavy soils,
and in the West Riding the crop cannot
be an average. In North Lincolnshire
the whcats are reported to promise less
than an average and in South Lincoln
shire and the Great Fen Level the crop
may be all average, but will certainly
be late. In Cambridgeshire wheat
looks toIerably well; the same is true
in Norfolk and Suffolk, and in Essex
the crop is good upon heavy land, but
on the light lands poor. In the south
ern counties the wheat is caring three
weeks later than last year, and 1t is re-
ported doubtful if a full average can be
attained. And the midland counties do
not promise more than an average
wheat crop, even with the best OF
weather. The prospects of barley are
equally unsatisfactory. the weather
having been too cold for producing
heavy crops. In Norfolk and Suffolk,
the barley looks well on the highly
farmed lands, but Oh thin soils are de-
fective, back ward and yellow. Oats,
beans and peas tell a more favorable
tale. The potatoes come up irregularly,
and have to some extent thrown out |
