Cady stnnton's Future Programme.
ut pleases US, says the New York Tribune,
ITO find Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton announc-
ing, in her vaedictory in the Revolution, that
she now proposes to speak and write in the
future as in the past-not, however, at appointed
times and seasons, but just when the spirit
moves her. She does not say what Spirit and
we suppose that in using this word she means
by il no more than her personal inclination.
We are willing still further to believe that she
will now appeal to the world only when she has
really something to say worth the worlds hear
ing; and we reflect also with pleasure upon the
fact that, in this new season of limited and
moderate utterance, she will have ample leisure
to distinguish between what is truth and what
is falsehood before she makes either men or
newspapers the theme of her mental deliverance.
She is well out of the hurry and hustle of re-
form, and should now profit by solid conside-
ration of all questions which she proposes pub
icly TO discuss"
Death Of IN Old African Chief
Late Cape Town, South Africa, papers an
nounce the death of an aged African chief, Mos
hesh, who for fifty years had been the wise and
brave ruler of the Basutos, one of the most
powerful of the aboriginal nations of Southern
Africa He began his career as q warrior about
1924, and was engaged in many hard-fought
battles with native chiefs, with whom he was
generally victorious, and finally with the Eng
lish, who continually encroached upon the terri
tory and finally conquered him about 1858. Yet
Moshesh was not bloody man. He boasted-
wal n n n contradict
that he hadinever shed the blood of man except
in war. He was an enlightened Pagan, and
abolished capital punishment for witchcraft.
He was a benevolent man, according to the
light which he had, and freely exchanged his
supernuous cattle for wives for his poorer sub
jects, while he restricted his own harem to some
thirty or forty women only, instead of hundreds,
as he might have just as easily had.
Her Own AvenRer.
This is the remarkable story of Celestine
Fejervary, wealthy young lady of Davenport,
Iowa.
Recently story was circulated affecting her
chastity. She waited until some responsible
person could be proved to have helped to circu-
late it, This proved to be no less q man than
Mayor Renwick. He had thoughtlessly told the
story as it came to him, and told it as deploring
it if it were true. Miss Fejervary promptly
sued him. She was cleared of the sander dur
ing the progress of the trial, but, because it
found that Mayor Renwick had no thought of
vile intent in what he said the verdict in
his favor. Miss Fejervary has published card
in the Gazette, in which she says:-'First of all,
the failure of the jury to agree does not and
cannot terminate the suit, and, should the best
years of my life be spent in the endeavor, will
not rest until verdict has been given for or
against me, and, either at this court or higher
one, an example set not only to my, but all,
slanderers; for in bringing this suit, have not
been unmindful of the many innocent girls
whom l have seen injured shamefully as /
have been, and much less able to defend them
selves. AS for the choice of this example, it
fell on the first man against whom we had good
proofs of his having repeat ed the SANDER in its
most aggravated form Ga fact which he now
denies), and one who, as being an old and re-
spected citizen, should have been the last to
have given his countenance TO SO foul a wrong"
Another Political Scandal In France.
A recent letter from Paris contains the fol-
lowing:-
General Fleury is daily expected in Paris.
There is not word of truth in the statement
that he is in bad odor at the Russian Court
On the contrary, the relations between the two
Cabinets have been cemented by his efforts and
the Emperor Nicholas well as the French
Emperor, feel most grateful to him for what he
has accomplished. This will not prevent the
General from being exposed to rather an nm
pleasant ordeal on his arrival here. He has
for some years, as you are aware, held the posi-
tion of Director of the Haras, which
has the care of the improvement of the breed
of horses in France. When he was appointed
there was a Council of superintendent (COn-
sell de SurUeilldnce) in existence, but in 1867
~ was suppressed ny slhple uecree OF the
Minister, without its ever having exercised its
functions. The extravaganza, waste and, it is
said, corruption, which signalized the man
agement of the Haras under General Fleury
have given such dissatisfaction to the breeders
of horses that they have insisted on the re-
establishment of the Council of Supervision and
general overhauling of the wholessystem. Nj.
Lower has consented to these measures, and
the accounts of General Fleury are accordingly
to be subjected TO rigid eXamination-a pro-
ceeding which that imperious and self-satisfed
gentleman is not likely to be very well
pleased at.
