and frowned on him told him to 90 out
and stop his insolence, when he knew
business was dull and the bank could
not meet its expenses now, let alone
lavish one dollar week more upon
such miserable worm as Samuel
McFadden. And then Saml. McFad-
den felt depressed and sad, and the
naughty scorn of the President and
Cashier cut him to the soul. Ee
would often go into the side yard and
bow his venerable twenty four inch head
and weep gallons and gallons of tears
over his insignificauce, and pray that
he migt be made worthy of the Cashier
and the Presidents polite attention.
One night happy thought struck
him; o gleam of light burst upon his
soul, and gazing down the dim vista
of years with his eyes oil blind with
joyous tears, he saw himself rich hon.
ored, and respected. So Saml. McFad-
den fooled around and got a Jimmy,
monkey wrnch, cross>cut saw, a cold
chisel, drill, and about half q ton of
gun powder and nitro-glycerine, aud all
those things. Then in the dead of night
he went to the FIRE proof safe, and, after
working at it for while, burst the door
and brick into an immortal smash with
such perfect success that there was not
enough of that safe left to make a caret
tack. Mr., McFadden then proceeded
co load up with coupons, greenbacks,
currency and specie, and to nail all the
odd change that was lying anywhere, so
that he pranced out Of the bank with
over one million dollars on him. He
then retired to an uuassuming residence
out of town, sent word to the detectives
where he was.
A detective called on him next day
with soothing note from the Cashier
McFdden treated it with lofty scorn.
Detectives called on him every day with
humble notes from the Prsident, Cash
ier and Board of Directors. At last
the bank officers got up magnificent
private supper, to'which Mr.. McFadden
was invited. He came, and, as the bank
officers bowed down in the dust before
him, he pondered over the bitter past,
and his soul was filled with wild
cxultation.
Before he drove away in his carriage
that nigth it was all fixed that Mr..
McFadden was to keep half a million
Of that money and to be unmolested if
ne returned the other half. He fulfilled
his contract like an honest man. but re-.
fused, with naughty di<dain, the offer
of the Cashier to marry his daughter.
Mac is now honored and respected
He moves in purple and fine linen and
other good clothes, and enjoys himself
first rate. And often now he takes
his infant son on his knee and tells him
of his early life, and instils holy princi,
pies into the child's mind, and shows
him how, BY industry and perseverance,
and frugality, and nitro-glycerine. and
monkey wrenches, and cross cut saws,
and familiarity with the detective sys.
tenn, even the poor may rise to aflluencc
and respectapility.

says: "Uniyersal citizenship" and

Do our Women Want the Ballot.
Mr.. EDITOR -

Mr. EDITOR Il am glad the PROPOSE
ton has been made that the question Of
Woman Suffrage be left for the ladies
themselves to decide. Not that the ar
ticle in your last issue entitled, Do our
Women want the Ballot" does not as
sumo false positions, and put forward I'm.
warranted assumptions; not that it uses
entire fairness in its logic, but because it
seeks to throw the responsibility of sue
cess or failure upon the parties to whom
it properly belongs. Among the several
positions taken in that article, but not
proved, there is one which l especially
desire to protest against. That is, that
the removal of the restriction preventing
a woman's voting, is thrusting upon her
" the burden and wrong of an unnatural
public character" Enfranchisement o
burden and wrong" This, Sir, is in.
comprehensive to me. believe there is q
law which prevents the taking of trout
from Otter Greek and its tributaries dur

POLITICAL OBJECTIONS.

In political economy it is concluded
that nation must arrive at a certain
point of civilization and general educa.
ton, before they are in a suitable condi-
ton to adopt republican form of govern.
ment or universal suffrage with success,
or even safety,
The women of this country, though oc.
cupying an elevated position, are not suf-
iciently educated in politics to assume
the elective franchise with safety to the
nation or ju, tice to themselves. Not that
they are ignorant, but otherwise. Their
education is superior, but not in political
life. This arises from the fact that
young ladies seldom, if ever, are interest
ed in political affairs. Their natural and
God given tastes run in another direction,
therefore they are not eligible to the bal.
lot box.
Women have superior gifts and endow.
ments that are peculiar to their sex, and
which tend to render them unfit for po-
litical strife, which would inevitably fol-
low.
OPPOSITION 20 DIVINE LAW.
The history of the past clearly teaches
that no law that is opposed to divine law,
will prove a success, beneficial or wise,
or so sure as there is a Supreme Being,
so sure are we his subjects, and must ar
range our laws so as to harmonic with
the divine law. We may attempt to ar.
range things in accordance with our own
views; but such an arrangement, if con.
trary TO the law divine, will prove a mis-
cradle failure. Those laws allowing one
man to hold another man in bondage will
illustrate. All know the result Blood
and dying groans had to atone for the di
erosion from the divine law. Nowhere
do We find authority in the sacred wore
for such proceeding as to place the REIN
Of government in the hands Of Nomen,-
but on the other hand we find its teach
ings directly opposed. And should Wo
man Suffrage prevail, we should Gud tina
the regulation was opposed to the divin,
law, and only one result ight be locke,
for, and that failure.
RELIGIOUS OBJECTIONS.
We, Of to-day, are the educators Of tn
next generation, mothers are the teach
ers. They mould the child's mind an,
shape its future life, The religious ina

prcssions Of the man Of to-day were made
upon his mind in childhood.
The prosperity, yes more the, existence
of this republic, depends upon this relig.
ious training No republic can survive,
Independent Of this religious element.
The history of the past substantates this
assertion. To adopt this suffrage ques.
ton would be to introduce into the moth
er's mind political ideas, opinions, strifes,
etc. And just to the extent that poiti.
cal life comes in the religious life goes out
Of the women Of our land and the chill.
dren will receive less religious and more
Of political training. A condition of
things would follow that would be per-
nicious in their effects upon society and
the nation.
DIsC0RD IN FAMILIEs.
The home circle, our own Preside Is the
cherished spot around which our hopes
cluster and our happiness eliminates.
Disturb this and how soon the bright
star of our hopes sinks in the gathering
gloom, and the bow of promise that
iringed the clouds would disappear.
There are now too many enemies Of the
household. Adopt woman suffrage and
you introduce a new element Of discord
that will prove most potent for evil.
Some say that the wife will vote Just as
the husband does-the daught,r as the
father Be not deceived, more mista.
ken view never was entertained. Inde-
pendence of thought is too much the rule
for all this to prove true. Political strife
will be introduced into our households.
No element now known will cause more
bitter strife and envious feelings than
his political element. In giving the bal.
lot to the women Of our land, you bring
into our families party strifes, intrigues
and corruption, and instead of the once
happy home it will be at times politi.
cal jargon. Consult the report Of the
Supreme Court holden at Rutland the
past winter. Count up the divorce.
granted there in one single term. How
rapidly these things increase. Had We
not better stop and consider the conse.
quences before we introduce another fire
brand d?
THEY DO NOT DESIRE TO VOTE.
This is one OF the best reasons why We
should not adopt this suffrage. We have
no moral right to thrust this upon then
without their consent, and manifestly
against the better judgment. Most womer
think they now have responsibilities
enough without assuming the responsible
ity Of making laws and carrying on tn,
government, electing officers, occupying
seats on the judiciary tribunals, acting a
!, selectmen, constables, senator's and repre-
sentatives, and all Offices from Presiden
of the United States down to a highwa,
surveyor. This mixed up calico arrange
, ment they soundly detest. Their owl
sense of true womauhood leads them t.
. detest the whole plan. Give them tn
ballot for once and they will settle thi
, question and place themselves Alright be
fore the world, in their true womanhoo,
as God made them, queen of the realn
inside doors, knowing full well that t
draw them into the political aren
| would DO to change their tastes and hat
its of life, which would be detrimenta

TRYING A GRAND JURY.-The counsel of the
defendants in the fraudulent election cases in
days ago, in desperate strait, they changed
their case into trial Of the District Attorney,
and now they are trying the Grand Jury.
They charge that its secret feature is contrary
to our enlightened civilization and subversive
Of the ends Of justice. This is all very well !;
it shows legal acumen to present such points
when delay is required, and it is probably a
fact that Grand Juries are rather inquisitorial ;
but the main question is, are the defendants
guilty or not guilty, and which are the de-
PENDANTS, the Grand Jury, the District Attor-
ney or the individuals charged in the indict-
ments?
