Three years ago the women of Green

ated with oil Running through the
knot of the back of her head is an ivory

short, highly colored silk dress is beauti-
fully embroidered, and her feet are en-
cased in the customary canoc-shaped san
dals."

theme, the equality of the sexes. Only
one lady was in attendance. The speak
er, after few preliminary remarks, be-
came so offenslve-predicting that in the
social and political development of the
age, ladies in the South would soon think
nothing of marrying negro men, and es-
pecially those who had been elevated to
official positions-that at this part of the
programme four-fifths of the audience
left in disgust. The door-keeper, too,
having imbibed too much 'tangle-foot,'

SINGULAR BATTLE
The Geneva Courier says: We wit
messed a battle the other day SO singular
in its nature as to deserve mention. On
one of our principal streets, a robin had
built its nest in tree. In the nest were
three or four eggs which tempted the
appetite of 4 squirrel who CHANGED to spy
them. He made raid on the nest, and
was just about preparing for asumptuous
feast when the proprietor Of the invaded
domicil arrived. Seeing what was going
on, the robin made dive at the squirrel,
inflicting a wound with his beak. Then
