The Personncl OF tho Woman's Rights
y-tasH Convention.
The Washington correspondent of the
Phiiadelphia Press sketches the promi-
nent members of the Women's National
Convention, in session at Washington,
as follows:
Atjust quarter to ii side-door from
the platform opened nnd some of the
shining lights of the 'cause" came into
view. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, majestic
and beautiful ns a snowy landscape, came
forward with that grace as indescribable
as it is Incompatible. An elegant black
silk and camels hair scarf made up her
perfect costume. At her right sat Mrs.
Pauline Davis, of Providence, II. L.,
another inexquisite picture of the snow.
She was most daintily attred in blue
satin and black velvet, and in the con-
temptation OF this serene and noble pic
ture the mind is reconciled to old age.
Susan b. Anthony was there in black
silk, with soft white lace around her
throat. but even lace, frothy as sea foam,
failed to relieve that practical face; Just
what gnarled oak is amongst the trees,
Susan B. Anthony is to her sex, hard.
obdurate, uncompromising. Josephine
Grlfhng, best among women, was there
ct her post, one of the most earnest in
the cause. Mrs. Wright, the sister of
Mrs. Mott, brought kind greeting from
the venerable woman. who was kept at
home by age and other in6rmities. Eat
the ornament of the platform was Miss
Phebe Cozens, of ST. Louis, q young
law student Of that distinguished CITY.
her elegant outfit was made up of q
light, neutral-tinted silk, adorned with
:iny Aoanoes. 4 doubled breasted Jacket
OF blue velvet, with jaunty Lombardy
nat to match, upon which a bird of Para
disc seemed to nestle from choice, Don't
we pity the Judge when Phebe shall
plead before him. One fash from those
eyes, surmounted by the arched brows-
but, stop, the illusion is not complete,
the rosy lips are wanting. Henry Clay
had large mouth, and it did not pre-
vent his becoming great lawyer
Grace Greenwood appeared upon the
platform in heavy black silk, with scarlet
trimmings, which we'll became her dark
autumnal beauty. She has a face of
character, like Fanny Kemble, which
glows and pales according to the COM
bustion within.
But If the solemn women who repre-
sent the cause" have desire to see the
world move, they had only to look to the
reporters desk and see the large yellow
envelopes, marked New York Tribune.
Behind the papers might be seen Miss
Nellie Hutchinson, who has earned the
title OF the ''spicy little reporter of the
Tribune" Miss Nellie allows her hair
to wander in "ma;den meditation, fancy
free" Her jaunty military suit, trimmed
with gilt cord and buttons, shows at once
her determination to win battle. She
1s said to be strong advocate for the
cause" and writes it up just rs much
is the Tribune will permit AS all vuln-
able papers were handed to her by Miss
Anthony from the platform, whilst YOUR
correspondent was left in the cold, she
gives this fact as a slight proof of the
kindness bestowed upon lady who is
engaged upon the T'iJune. As the pc
rusal Of these papers was not shared by
the correspondent of Tile Press, any
omissions are requested to be overlooked.
In few handsome words Mrs. Stanto on
introduced Miss Phebe Cozens, who be-
gan her brief address by quoting,
Westward the star of empire takes its
way" Then she told us that the East
must look TO her laurels, else she would
wake up and find them stranded on the

Mrs. Paulina Davis read letter from
John Stuart Mill, in which he said he
regretted not being able to respond to
their kind invitation. but that he thought
Americans abnndantly able to take care
OF the cause. He then eulogized his
wife, and said she had been the means of
converting him.
Senator Pomeroy, the only man from
Congress who was present, made str ropg
woman's rights speech. Where is Anna
Dickinson?
