FEMALE SUFFRAGE IN TENNESSEE
In the Tennessee Senate two members
have presented bills to strike the word
male" out Of the State constitution, so
that women shall have a vote on the
same conditions as men. One Mr..
Bowles, commonly known, as the
newspapers say, as "Old Bowles," cap
ped these bills with another, in which
he proposes to abolish the present cos
tune OF women:
"Whereas, the present costume worn
by that class to whom it is proposed to
extend the elective franchise is cum
bersome and entirely unsuited for the
purposes OF electioneering and. canvass
ing, and is found awkward for COM
moner purposes; therefore
"Be 1t enacted, &c, That the costumes
now worn by female citizens of Ten
nessee be changed from petticoats to
pants, and that this act take effect from
and after its passage.

LITERARY MATTERS.

Tile Marietta Register speaks of the
Cincinnati Commercial as "the livest
paper in America, or the universe for
that matter"
This Is high praise, coming from the
Register, which Is the best country pa
per that comes to our table.
Tho New York Sun says that those
who have never heard George Francis
Train speak. can have no idea OF the
strong faculty he possesses:
"He Is eccentric, eloquent, comical,
pathetic, satirical, egottstical, but his
hold on his auditors never relaxes-
their interest in the unprecedented en-
tertainment never flags. There is al
ways method in his madness, and a
prosaic design in his poetry, which
makes 1t tell the wonderful effect upon
the mind at which it is directed. His
intellect teens with ideas and his men,
DRY with facts, and they flow from his
lips In a rushing stream, sometimes
turgid with exaggeration, sometimes
electrical with passion, but always full,
living and powerful"
The Albany Journal says of Man
ton Marble, editor of the New York
World: Personally, he is hard
working, interchangeable man. He de-
votes his personal attention t. all the
spends almost the entire night In the
Word Office, appearing at his home up
town, and dining at an hour when me-
chanics and workingmen generally be.
gin to turn over in bed for their last
forty winks. Those who know his
habits say he is a marvel of endur-
ance."
Don Piatt In late Washington let
ter thus speaks of Parton whom he met
ut dinner OF the Press Club:
Parton is thin, queer, gentlemanlY
looking man who carries forty. eight on
his countenance. Above the medium
height, he is slender and ends in head,
round and smallish. He has an of
eye, a hooked nose, prominent chin,
coarse, dark hair, that encroaches on
his forehead, and whiskers to match
rather thin and uncertain, and struck
me as resembling Don Qui1Ote in
youth, and in delicate health.
And here is what Don has to say
about Geo. Alfred Townsend:
1 missed that prince of correspond
ents. George Alfred Townsend. Geo.
All. Is not on good terms with his
brother quill drivers. l can we'll under
stand it. 1t is difficult for man who
possesses such powers OF ridicule and
sarcasm as G. A, r. to retain personal
popularity. The temptation to pune
ture is fearful, when puncturlng Is 30
easy. And ne1tto doing man favor,
so as to bring him under obligation,
you cannot make him bitterer enemy
than by getting the laugh on him. You
may borrow his money, run of with his
wife, kick his dog, and he may forgive
you but raise laugh at his expense,
and he will follow you 10 the death.

My lovers twain-my lovers twain,
pray you let me be!
To wed you both would bo faip,
Only that may not be.
One lover is like music sweet,
That steals my heart away;
And one Is like a trumpet-blast,
Which calls me to the fray.
One Is of gentle, courteous mind,
To low and high degree;
And one Is stern and harsh of mood,
And melteth but TO me.
One is strangely loveable.
That but to touch his hand
Do men kneel-before the one
DO men uncovered stand.
And II this one do not wed,
He never wife would seek;

Why the Adj IND BiMistrsatiDn Doesn't
hecOgsaiZe the Cuban BcisEer-
eRcy.

From the Louisville Courier ournal.
The administration is anxious to re-
cognize the Cuban insurgents as bellig.
ercnts, but it is afraid. Wkat is it atraii
Of? the reader may ask. Why, bless
you. reader, it is afraid Of fprejudicing its
Alabama claims. Because Sumner, in
his speech, assumed to censure Great
Britain for recognizing the Southern
Confederatrs as belligerents and to say
that she was justly responsible i'll
damages tor the consequences, the admin
istration darts MT rec,guize the Cubans
as brlligcrents, lest Greal Britain should
USE the tact i'll the pending Alabama
negotiation. Great Britain recognized
the belligcrency OF the Confedcrates
almost Immediately after the firing Of
the first gun at Charleston and SO did
France aud Spain. Those three govern
mcnt didn't wait in the case IT the Con.
tederacy tenth part of the time that
We have already waited in the case Of
Cuba, aud yet the administration has
not the courage to recognize the Cuban
patriots as belligerents even now lest
the British negotlator should make it a
point in his diplomatic duel with Mr..
Motley. The shadow of Great Britain
and OF the Alabama claims is reflected
in all that the administration thinks, or
feel, Or says. or does, or fears, in regard
to Cuba. Except tor the Alabama claims
and Summers speech, the belligerent
character of the Cuban rcvolutionists,
ay, more, the independence of Cuba
would have been acknowledged at Wash
ington long ago A most disastrous and
and terrible thing indeed to poor Cuba
are tho,e same Alabama claims. But, if
the Administration is holding back, as
We all know that it is, from the knowl-
ed &c Of Cuban beIligerency ON account
of an expectation or hope that Great
Britain will, in any case whatever, make
payment to us for the recognition Of the
Confedcrates OR ask ra,don for that re-
cognltion or admit that she was in the
wrong. then the Administration is as
grossly and strangely mistaken as any
Administration ever was. 1.-THE Admin
istration doesn't know that Great Britain
will not pay for her recognition of the
South, it isn't fit to live above ground a
single h>ur. If the cruisers built ii
British navy yards and fitted out against
our commerce shall be proved to have
committed certain definite and well-as-
certained injuries, Great Britain may
consent to make fair pecuniary compen.
sation for those injuries, but We repeat
she will never pay one dime nor ask one
pardon for any recognition of Confederate
bellgerency or for any sympathy shown
or felt for the Confederate cause. Re-
coguition ct belligerent rights, therefore,
eau cut no figure in The Motley negotia-
tion. hence the Administration, if 1t has
the slightest wish to recognize the belIig-
erent rights Of the patriots across the
Gulf, may just as we'll 60 ahead without
any reference whatever to the indemnity
which it is seeking in the Alabama

Counsel for the :OaEtIa.

While European emigration is setting
in with resistlsss current to the United
States--stimulated at both ends, so to
seak-pressed on by the sufsriDgs at
what many of these hunted millions call
home. and invited forward by the
blessings and benefits of a free Govern
ment and free people, it would be de-
plorable if the Southern States did not
receive a good share Of this the best
source of national wealth and power.
Yesterday we called attention to the
exodus Of English workmen to America.
These are exactly the men needed at
the South, especially in the quarters
where manufactures are in course of
erection. So, too, with the German
families, who are coming over from the
provinces along the Rhine in thousands,
and also with the Norwegians, What
has kept these emigrants from the South
heretofore has been slavery, and slavery
alone. What will attract them South to
day is Freedom, and only Freedom. And
the more clearly the fact is set forth
that the freedom Of the South is as gen
uine and as safe as the freedom Of the
West, the better for the communities in
which all admit that the sursst redemption
is by means of emigration.-Wasl. Chron-

Physical Culture.
From the Country Gentleman. ]

Much has been said and written on
this subject, and although there are deci-
ded signs of improvement in this direc-
ton, there yet remains abundant need
for advance. The ancieuts laid great
stress ON physical training, and the
highest end to be attained in heir schools
was a sound mind iu a sound body. In
the gymnasium and athlete schools they
grew nimble, tall, stalwart and strong,
ge-A,nged, fuIl-breastsd, courageous
and noble. Despite the attempts in the
physical line now, the brain is cultivated
at the expense of the other members;
hence weak lungs and stomachs. hearts
indicating fatty degeneratlon,' and a
race OF pigmies.
In that mysterious relation existing
between mind and body. the body can
not be- i'll treated without, as it were,
showing resentment toward the mind,
which in its turn becomes twisted, stunt
cd and distempered with one-sided
growth, and paralyzed in its search for
knowledge. One Of the outgrowths Of
this mistaken training is tendency to
low spirits, discomfort, inaction and
reverie, for which no remedy applies
like physical exercise.
Success in life and business depends
largely upon a correct physical training
The success of business men depends
much on their organic stamina. A well
developed thorax is about as necessary
to clergyman, lawyer and politician as
a well trained intellect, and when we re-
member that thorough aeration of the
blood, by free exposure to large breath
ing surface in the lungs is necessary to
maintain that vital power upon which
the vigorous working Of the brain de-
pends, is it not even of greater import
ance?
When Sir Walter Scott attended the
University of Edinburgh, he went by the
name Of the" Great Blochbead," but was
sipgularly expert in all the sports of boy.
hood, despite his lamencss. In after
years, while devoting himself to literary
pursuits, he persevered in those habits
and pursuits, which he well knew quick

his brilliant power. Some Of our great

large stones about" as for rolling large
thoughts upon the world. Of such were

AS it is through the body that the
soul works, of wha: Importance it is that
it be a healthy medium. for, as Burton
quantity expresses it, "as wine savors Of
the cask wherein it is kept, SO the soul
receives tincture from the body through
which it works"
Would that every parent, teacher. pas
tor and individual would give this sub.
ject due thought and weight, and act
accordingly. What strides in intellect
ual progress would be the sequence!
