The Hot Springs (Ark.) C03afer
says, Mr.. +. p. Bishop has been to the
Hot and sulphur Springs, for the pur-
pose of perfecting line for the Me
Adamized road from the above points
TO Little Rock. A Acharter for this object
was granted by the last session of the
Legislature, and we learn Mr.. Bishop
Will proceed with the work i'm
mediately on his return to the capital.
1t is estimated that the road can be
built for five hundred dollars per
mile, and that twelve thousand dol
lars will be a sufficient sum to con-
Struct the bridges over the interven-
ing streams. With the completion of
the Memphis and Little Rock Rail-
road, and the Pike road to Little
Rock, new era will dawn upon the
springs. Space will be annihiIated,
and other improvements will be there
by evolved TO keep step to the music
of progress, and the increasing and
demands that claim at
tentiOn. Mr.. j. was assisted by Mr..
j. \. Martin, Skillful engineer in the
of the Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad.
The RerOlodiOH (WOman's Rights
Organ) shrieks in this style: We
would suggest that every young girl |
should be taught the use of firearms,
and always carry a small pistol for her
defense; moreover, that She should be
by an immense New
foundland dog whenever she is in
danger of meeting her natural pro-
tectOr. What a shame to teach our
young girls to look up to man as the
source of light and wisdom" the
head of woman, as Christ is the head
of the Churchr' To go to the root of ,
all these Outrages it will be found in
the idea that woman was made for
man, and every man has a feeling
that he has right to any pretty girl
he can entrap. If women could COM
pletely disguise themselves in male
attire, that would be great prOtec-
ton in going about the crowded cities. q.
must be done that our girls
may be free to roam up and down the
earth at pleasure. There are many
good reasons for laws that forbid man
to assume woman's attire, but there is
no reason in the world why woman
should not seek safety and independ-
snce in the costume that secures it.
