MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE AND GAIL
" HAMILTON.
Men are in the habit of treating women like
spoilt children, as they were not to be rea-
soned with, nor contradicted. Allow me to
say that have too much reverence for them
to do this; and therefore 1 reason with them,
as would with men.
After all, perhaps, the deadliest foes of wo-
men, are women; able, earnest, whole hearted,
women, who, having established for them
selves high position in life, assume to I'M
derstand the whole subject of woman's rights
and woman's wrongs, by intuition.
For example, in the Atlantic for February
we have another paper on what Mrs. Stowe
calls "Co-operative Housekeeping" full of
wise and beautiful suggestions, but-of woman
suffrage, she ventures to say, Suppose that
li"ihooo suffrage precisely as men now exer-
eise IL, were to be extended to women. As
'ons DIS we agreed with the majority of men,
all would go WELL" Why so?-if YOU disa-
greed Win the minority? Would wo-
men all vote alike? If it would be safe for
them to be in the majority, why not safe to he
In the minority, as some would ALWAYS hoo
But she continues, "Not being able to fiobt
ourselves, however, and too poor to bring mer-
eenary armies into the field, what should we
do in case of any trreconcilable difference of
opinion or interest, between men and women
voters? Simply what we do low in our own
families, when We disagree with determined
husband or father-give upp' And then she
adds "T suppose an extreme case that would
probably never,tappen." If SO, why suppose it?
Does it strengthen her position?

AN ELEGANT TURNoUT.-We saw at the
factory of Mr.. G. P. Kimball, yesterday, the
most elegant single sleigh twas ever our good
frtune to examine. We think it even excels
in beauty the famous sleigh Mr.. K. exhibited
at the State Fair. 1t is Mr.. KS patent cor
rugated pattern, painted imperial green top
and dasber, running work fire white richly
striped with gold and earmine, trimmed with
brown silk velvet. and is rich and elegant in
the extreme. This sleigh was built by Mr.. K.

part Of Maine as one of the best looking men
in the State, and we feel very sure he will

Pine Tree State.-Portland Press, Jan. 8.
To this beautiful sleigh that cost four hun
dred dollars, the Doctor has hitched one of
the most splendid horses in the country, with
gold mounted harness to match, making the
team cost in round numbers nearly two
thousand dollars. But the Doctors wonderful
success fully warrants the outlay. He is one
ofthe most skillful men in the country, and
is daily performing miraculous cures of the
most terrible diseases that no man can ac-
count for. All afflicted will do we'll to consult
him at Merchants Exchange, Dexter, Maine.

All the talk of the Worcester Spy and Gin
cinnati Gazette, both radical, about the abuse
of the franking privilege by Mr.. Lynch, M. c.,
arose from his having franked numerous cop
les of the Mercantile Journal containing his
speech-a proceeding as clearly legal and with
in the purview of the law as the ranking of a
letter to constituent.
But there is no doubt that he franking priv
ilege is greatly abused, and that the P. o. De-
partment is thus defrauded of a large amount
of revenue. The whole system ought to be
abolished. While it exists, however, it is SIM
ply absurd and malicious 10 denounce an M. c.
