frage Convention have repudiated the Wo-
man Suffrage Amendment, because it pro-
poses to establish an 'aristocracy Of race. 2
Stupid Congress Why did It not so frame
the amendment as to establish, instead of
an aristoeracy of race, an aristocracy of Iace?
That would have arrayed the strong minded
unanimously IN its favor.

er and composer. was IN business in the
Haymarkot as wine merchant, and wrote
over his door, Michael Kelly, Composer Of
Music and Importer Of Wine. Sheridan
suggested the following alteration: mi
chael Kelly, Importer of Music and Compo-

his music is original and all his wine Is,
since he makes it himself

TWELVE hundred Cinnamon, fresh from
the Oriental Empire, arrived at San Fran
cisco on Friday. The emigration from the
old Eastern world promises to increase with
each year, aud through the recently opened
railway artery uniting the Pacific to the At
lantic, these people win find their wav to the
| Western States They are not bad class
/ Of people They work and give full labor

and watch our vast country filling up, and
our broad lands empeopling by emigrants

DESIRE FOREIGN IMMIGRATION The
people Of Peru have sent an exploring ex-
I peditiou to the mountains Of Chanchamayo,
for the purpose Of making communication
between the coast and the head waters of
the Amazon--a fertile region of great re
source, to which they desire to attract for
eign immigrants. Their offer to support
these for the first six months is q liberal one,
| aud it will probably encourage a good many
to venture. The Peruvians arc also trying
to c0uuteract the aridity Of their western
slope by system Of irrigation for the fat
lands; but their richest resources are at the
eastern slope Of the Andes, whence their in
tercourse and commerce may have a thor
oughfare down the Amazon.
To REMOVE CoRSs. An approved
method for removing corns is to place the
foot in hot water in the evening for a few
minutes, so as to soften the part, when it
is carefully and gently scraped with the
point Of blunt knife until all the hot soft
water outside of the corn Is removed Leave
off the scraping the moment the least pain
is felt Repeat this process daily for a few
days, when the patient viii have scraped
away the corn so entirely that it viii rarely
grow again. A little more summary way is
to touch the corn lightly with dilute hydro
chlorie acid after the scraping Care should
be taken not to use the acid too strong or too
much in quantity. As soon as the acid is
applied wash the parts in tepid water; and
! If there IS much pain. bind on it a wet towel
to prevent any inflammation.
A FRENCH writer, named Freycinet has
spent his life in investigating all known
methods Of disposing Of the dead AL his
Iinierenees are argued with special reference
to the public health, and he considers the
existing system of burial in the earth to be
on the whole the best; only notifications are
suggested. Vaults are decried; and so are
all those systems and means-such as metal
collins and preservatlye processes
tend to arrest decay. The aim should be to
promote decomposition; to facilitate the ac-
cess of the earth to the body, and especially
to help the cadaverie matter by theinAuence
of vegetation. A tree covered plain-th
sacred grove Of old-is the best mortuary;
fittcst in every way, esthetically and sani-
tarily. As to cremation, it is totally inap-
plicablc; the odors that would be spread
over q country by the burning Of several
corpses a week would be unbearable,
THE CRISIS IN ENGLAND. We can
hardly appreciate the magnitude of the
crisis through which England is passing, in
Il connection with the Irish Church Bill. II
the Lords should refuse to pass ito con-
form to the viii Of the people as expressed
through the Commons revolution would
result that would sweep the Upper House
out Of existence. The letter Of London
/ correspondent, Is an indication of the excite
ment in England. The press boldly inform
cd the Lords that they must obey or 20
overheard. They viii probably accept the
