mt on Woman's Rights.

President Grant has recently snubbed strong
minded women Mrs. DR.. Mary Walker, whose
chief claim to distinction arises from the constan
use of Bloomer costume, has made several ap
plications for an interview with the President.
After putting her off on various pretexts, Gram
finally informed her that she might have all inter
view when dressed in manner becoming her sex
The Railroad War.
AT o conference lately held in Charleston be-
tween the representatives of the South Carolina
Railroad and the Columbia and Augusta Railroad
it was found impossible to effect any compromise
between these belgerent corporations. The Au
gusta Chronicle says ''Ina short time, the track
of the Columbia and Augusta Road will be laid to
the Savannah River, and we may then expect to
see all the devices known to the law put in opera
ton by the two companies-one that it may enter
the city, the other to prevent it"
What is a Velocipede in Law!
A'gentleman in England, mounted on a We.
locipede, was stopped for his toll at to-bridge.
The collector, after an examination of his rates
found no charge put down for the strange vehicle.
Determined, however, to collect something, he at
length decided it to be kind of wheel-barrow,
and charged the customary toll of two pence. The
rider, indignant at this insult to his inanimate
steed, brought suit, before magistrate, against
the collector At last accounts the suit was not
decided, the court having required time for the
consideration of the vexed question.
Prizes for Delinquent Subscribers.
The proprictors of the Milledgeville (Ga.,)
Recorder have adopted a new expedient to draw
their dues out of delinquents They propose, as
soon as fve-sixths of their subscribers have paid
up all Dues to put their names in box and draw
out certain number, who are to be entitled to a
variety Of prizcs headed by fine gold watch.
This is the gcntlest dun on record, and it cer-
tainly ought to draw the greenhacks from the
pockets of the guilty ones But the man who is
capable of dcfrauding printer, is not accessible
to the temptation of prizes for good conduct Even
the kind-hearted author of this novel ca So gives
up one sixth of his debtors as beyond the reach Of
his gentle wiles. He would be far more likely to
attain his object, if be would stop their papers
and thus bring home to them the awful conse,
quenccs of their misdeeds
tllllDuSterS In CuDa.
-The Charleston .Ne,cs confirms its announce
ment of a fillibustering expedition to Cuba, made
a few days ago. 1t publishes letter. received in
Charleston from some place not made known,
which states that the expedition is in command Of
Gen. Henningsen, and consists of eleven hundred
men, most of them ex. soldiers Of the U. S. and
Confederate armies. The Ne,cs intimates that
Gen. H. has taken counsel with Grant and Sher'
man, and that his movements are in conformity
with their wishes.
1t is not unlikely that this is a true statement,
as we see it stated that, previous to his Inaugural
ton, Grant made no secret Of his sympathy with
the revolutionary movement in Cuba Since he
became President, he has of course been more
guarded in expressing himself with regard to the
affairs of nation at peace with the United States
But there is little doubt as to his willingness to
assist in annexing Cuba to the "best government
the world ever saw" under the pretext of advan'
cling the cause of liberty. 1t will not, then, be a
matter of surprise to our readers, when they hear
of fbusters shouting the battlecry of freedom
on the shores Of Cuba
