There are, we believe, from thirty to
fifty thousand male voters, in this city
alone, who rarely turn out to exercise the
elective franchise at all, except in a very
exciting issue. Perhaps the indifference
of these gentlemen might be entirely
cured, or they might be made prompt as
anybody else to do their duty if they could
go to the polling places in company with
their female friends-thus enjoying de-
lightful Irritation, and at the same time, a
capital excuse for it Indeed we do not
hesitate to say that we are acquainted

posed to become active politicians the mo-

their obligations as citizens.-N Y. Sun

Curi0Qs Experiments.

No one will envy the task which two
French surgeons lately set themselves of
experimenting upon the severed head of
gullotined criminal, in order to test the
truth Of certain stories, lately revived,
about dismembered faces showing signs Of
life. Yet it was we'll the work should be
done, and the results obtained are valua
bic, as confirming former opinions upon
the entire untruthfulness of the reported
Manifestations The head examined was
received from the executioner within five
minutes of it's severation, aud the tests for
symptoms of sensation were made imme-
diately. The face was bloodless, the feat
ures were rigid, eyes open, mouth gaping,
and the expression was one of stupor,
not Of pain. To ascertain if sense exists
ed, the ear was cleansed and the name of
the criminal::was shouted into it; but no
feature moved. Next ammonia was placed
under the nose; there was no contraction
of the nasal muscles. Then candle was

A Broken Nineteen Millionaire.

From a New York Letter.
Miss Ellen Gray is the name of the
young lady who, a couple of months ago,
was the subject of card from the British
Consul, stating that she was not the heir
ess to Nineteen million dollars, as had
been asserted, and that no install
ment of five million dollars had ever been
received at the consulate for her. BY
whomsoever the story was invented, the
fact appears to be that Miss Gray has
brother who was not troubled With
great dcat of money, and who made a
strictly business use Of the report that
his sister was in luck. Upon the strength
Of that report he borrowed a cool two
thousand here, and an eight hundred dol
lar slice there, and managed to make him-
self comfortable on the credulity of who
ever was willing to lend, in expectation of
being so splendidly reimbursed by the
sister of Il nineteen Millionaire. Like a
sensible wording, he surrounded himself
with those large and little luxuries Of
which purple and fine linen stand as the
synecdoche, and lived beautifully upon
his expectations" The time came when
the hollow nature Of those expectations
was made manifest to the world that Miss
Gray was broken nineteen Millionaire.
Nobody that ought to appears to know
anything about those nineteen millions,
and Mr.. Gray's creditors are wondering
how they could have lent so much on the
strength of SO little. The only thing
about him havoring of richness is the
stories that are told about him.

The Ladies at the Polls /!


A ''sixteenth amendment is now
strongly urged, in Washington. 1t is one
proposing to extend the ballot to the la
dies. We shall surrender to this amend
ment at discretion. We used to ridicule
such propositions, we admit; but times
have changed. Surely an educated white
woman in the north is as good political
adviser as any "colored gentleman" that
can be found upon southern plantation
Now that Scipio and Caesar have been
made, in all respects, our political equals,
We have not a word to say about the equal
right of Susan and Mary Ann, Tabitha
and Louisa. Yea, verify, we.are prepared
to stand shoulder to shoulder" beside
them, as the election-placards say, even
sleeve to sleeve, in the great battle fol
''life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness" Soto roce, we are half-inclined te
whisper that we might rather prefer such
company to that of some Of the new
"soyereigssn just imposed upon us.
Shosld we have to stand en- queue upon
the pavement waiting for chance, OF
election day, to approach the ballot box
the "odor Of nationality" about lady
electors (even if some of them should us'
musk) would certainly be more endura-
bic than that which we might otherwis
encounter. So give us the ''sixteentl
amendment" Chignons and frisette
ought to and would inspire more respec
for good order at the polls, than the pres
ence of any number of whiskey-breathe'
and baton.ernamented policemen. VIII

Oldest AhOat.

Oldest AflOat.
The Truelove is the name of the oldest
vessel now afoat. She was built in Phil
adelphia in l764, and is consequently one
hundred and six years old. The vessel
was built originally for the merchant
trade but during the Revolution was used
as war vessel in 1850, and was purchased
from the British government by parties in
Hull, England, from which port she now
halls. She was employed in the wine
trade between Oporto and Hull until
1884, when she was employed in whaling
AS whaler she was exposed to many
vicissitudes. The Trueloye, in 1880,
formed part of fleet in Melville Bay,
when twenty strong vessels were lost, and
twelve others were seriously injured by
the ice. This vessel, on account of her
peculiar build, was able to stand the ice
much better than some other and strong
er ones. When exposed to heavy
squeeze between large masses of ice she
would be raised to the surface, where she
would remain until the pressure was re-
lieved, when she would again sink into
the water. On one occasion this vessel lay
on the ice in this manner for six weeks in
Melville Bay. The Truelove has made
eighty voyages to Greenland and Davis
Strait. During all the time that she has
been engaged as whaler, she has carried
oil from some three or four hundred
whales, and besides this has been laden
with seals and other Arctic products.
Since 1867 she has been employed in carr
rying ice from Norway to the English
market. She is said to be in as good q
| condition now as ever, and is still hard at
work.

There are many beautiful ideas that
slumber beneath the rubbish of time.
Here is one for tea drinkers who take the
beverage for its powers of usefulness
The Chinese have legend which dates
back an indefinite number Of centuries,
'that pious hermit, who, in his watch
ings and prayers, had often been overtaken
by sleep, so that his eye>lids closed in holy
wrath against the weakness of the flesh,
cut them off and threw them on the
ground. But god caused tea sprout
to spring out of them, the leaves Of which
exhibit the form of an eye'lid, bordered
with lashes, and possessing the gift OF
hindering Sleep"

ASHES AS MANURE.-In the report Of the
Rochester Farmers Club, in the Amer
lean Farmer, Mr.. Quinby, Of Irondequoit,
SAYS that during the past three years he
has drawn 10000 bushels Of leached ashes
on his farm, and spread ut the rate of 200
to 300 bushels per acre. He says the APP
plication has doubled his wheat crop, and
greatly increased the growth OF the
grass. He could see a great difference in
the growing wheat where the land was
enriched by ashes and where it was not.
His land is light. He has seen ashes ap-
piled to heavy land with little benefit. At
the same meeting, Mr.. Little, of Henri
eta, said he had applied quantity to
one of his fields, the soil being heavy
He thought the mechanical effect was bad,
making the clay soil more heavy than it
was before. And yet the lightness and
heaviness of the soil has not all to do with
lit. We have seen ashes both useful and
of no value on light soil and then some
opposite results on heavy soils. "A nur-
sery of. standard pear trees, on strong
soil, was doubled in growth by an appli-
I Ication of ashes; similar application in
another locality, where the soil appeared
to be quite similar, produced no percepti-
BILE result. AS general rule ashes, both
leached and unleached, are useful some>
times eminently so but the only way to
determine to what an extent, is to give
them careful trial, measuring the re-
suits.

The Lady of the Key.

One of the Paris journals announces
the death, at Versailles, of Russian la
dy who appeared in the drawing>rooms of
Paris in ls4s and ls49, and was nick
named the "Dame la Clef." She died,
aged forty-ive, in the most complete soli-
tude. 1t is said that her husband, who
was much older than she, came to see her
for week or two every six months, and
went away again no one knew whittier.
All was mysterious about this Lady of the
Key. Last month the husband did not
return as usual, but letter came announc-
ing his death. The widow survived him
a few days only, and it is supposed she
allowed herself to die of hunger. Wheth-
er true or not, this was the story that was
whispered about her when she appeared
in Paris, young and beautiful, more than
twenty years ago. 1t is said that her hus-
band surprised her in little country
house which he possessed near Moscow, at
the moment she was hastily shutting
somebody up in wardrobe. A servant
had betrayed her. The Muscovite Othello
turned the key twice in the wardrobe, took
it out, then told his wife to follow him. A
travelling brtzska stood a few PAGES from
the villa. More dead than alive, the un-
happy woman obeyed. When the hul-
band had placed her in the carriage, and
given an order in low voice to the coach
man-"Keep this key" he said to his
wife II have forgotten something and
will return" and then went back to the
house. He returned according to his
promise, but as the carriage descended the
hill the poor woman saw the flames issu-
ing from the window of the country-house
and taking full possession Of it. She faint
ed away, and on regaining her senses per-
ceived that gold chain was riveted round
her neck to which the little key of the
| wardrobe was attached. She wished to
kill herself but her husband threatened
her that if she committed suicide he would
reveal her misconduct and cover her and
her family with dishonor. She was there
| fore condemned to live, and her strange
necklace excited much curiosity in Paris.
AT last her tyrant allowed her to retire
into quiet retreat on the express stipula'
| ton that she would not attempt to destroy
herself during his lifetime. His death re-
leased her from this condition; but she
had languished for more than twenty
years, having the witness of her guilt al
ways before her eyes. 1t is curious sto-
ry; we wonder whether it is true?

To desire a change of sex is nc

To desire a change of sex is not
commonly considered manly aspira-
ton; to weep about it seems ludicrous.
Yet the thing has been done, and on
the tented field. In the very fercest of
the battle at Malvern Hill General Lee
encountered a tall Johnny Reb in full
retreat, and blubbering fearfully. He
stopped him and shamed him; but the
fellow openly avowed cowardice, and
said he knew he was coward when
they scripted him. "Well," said the
patient but vexed General, ''that may
be, but you need not below about it
