WoMAX's RrGRTs CoSvEsrIoS.-Some few day
since the telegraph informed US that womans right
convention was in session at Washington, but on
gave few particulars. We have since received
copy Of the st. Lous Democrat Of the Goth, from
which we take the subjoned particulars. AS tht
woman suffrage question is assuming vast proportions
it is not without interest:
Tie national womans rights convention assembled
here to- day. About 60 delegates were in attendance
three Of whom we're dressed in boomers. Tie can
yenou was opened with prayer BY DR.. Gray, Chaplain
OF the Senate, who asked that the time might soon
come when woman, WIG was from the rib OF man
would assume her social and civil rights alongside Of
those of men.
Mr. F. NJ Davis, of Philadelphia, took exception to
the prayer which had been offered by Dr. Gray In il
he said the gentleman had spoken Of woman as OF A
rbof man, while all history and the Bible proved that
woman the equal of man.
Mrs Lucrctia Mott and Mrs. Cady Stanton Endorsed
the position of Mr. Davis, and the former lady said
that that portion Of the prayer she raised her head
because she could not admit any Inequality
Mrs Stanton found fault with Senator Pomeroy and
other Representatives and Senators in Congress, for
the manner in which the petition of wonan suffrage
had been treated and said that such petitions should
always be sent hereafter to the Democrats IL Congress-
for they haze always treated them with more respect
For herself she full blooded Republican and three
quarters over but could not do otherwise than com
plain OF the Of Republicans in Congress in
the instance referred to.
Senator Pomeroy defended his course in regard to
the petition presented to Congress- aud said that he
was ashamed to acknowledge that the word male "
was still retained in the constitution, when there should
be no discrimination account of sex.
The convention then organised By eecting Lncretia
Mott President several vice presidents, aud J. Il Viii
cox, Secretary.

resolution that one object Of the womens right move
ment to throw additional safeguards around marri-
age and family relations, was adopted resolution
that both the Democratic cry of "a white mans gov
ernment," and the Radical of manhood suffrage,
were unjust was dicussed at length.

To MAKE Cows GIVE MlLk.--A writer, who says his
COW gives all the milk that is wanted in family of
eight persons, and from which we're made two hundred
and sixty pounds of butter this year, gives the follow
ing as his treatment. He says: " Ii YOU d, sire to
get large yield Of rich milk, give your COW, three
fines day, water slightly warm, slightly salted, in
which bran has been stirred at the rate of quart
to two gallons Of water. You will find, if you have
not tried this daily practice that your will give %
per cent more milk Immediately under the effect of it,
and she will become attached to tie drt refuse
drink clear water, unless very thirsty but this mess
she will drink almost any time, and ask for more"
The amount of this drink necessary is ordinary
water paul each time morning. noon and night.
-Four hundred pounds Of butterare often obtained from
good stock, and instances mentioned where the
yield was even at higher figure Exchange.
FEMALE LAwYERs.-The Louisville Courier Journal
says:
The last phase of the womans rights horror is the
admission of young lady to the St. Louis Law School
Nothing would be likely to melt jury than the
appeals of youth and beauty in behalf Of the offenders
against the law Where is the judge whose opinion
could not be warpel>and he himself twisted around
the dainty little finger Of hedgng legal duck of
eighteen summers? In breach of promise case your
female LAWYER would be overwhelming, her capacity to
paint the villainy of fahlcSs swan being derived
from practical experience perhaps. The young lady
who has just been admitted the ST. Louis school has
however, no intention of becoming attorney, sole.

FEMALE. GLERKs.-Great complaints are made Mt
Washington in regard to the difficulty experienced in
uisehaFgng female clerks, aud the least doubt
istS upon the grounds OF morality, that the system of
employing them is shameiuity abused. In order to
reeonce tne conflicting claims OF charity and morality,
would Itnot he VOL to enact a law nreQentilr the EN-
Pioyment OF any under forty forty-fve years OF
NE? Not the least difficulty would be experienced in
niog the Offices, and the ends ofcharity aud patriot
ism would lie much more surely reached.
