GEORGE FRANCIS IN JAPAN
GRAND wOMAN'S RIGHTS
TEA PARTY-GEORGE's FC-
TURE PLANS.

Our bosom friend, George Francis
Train, Is at present %rusticating in ia
pan, astonishing the gentle natives of
that Arcadian cline with his princely
aflueuce of "chcek" and magnificent
humbuggery. George sends us n scrap
Of the Japan Gazette, served up on the
half she'll, filled with the bountiful re-
fulgence Of his own overweening self
gloriication, and also making special
mention Of a plan for the emancipation
of woman from the doll-like, servile,
silly life she has led for ages. This
plan is developed through a female tea
importer from New York who went to
Japan on the same ship with George.
Her prospective as we'll rs practical
ideas Of the thing she expresses to the
interviewing" reporter Of the ca
.ette as follows: Reduce woman's
rights to practice. Let woman take
her rights. Instead Of spending their
money in chignons, OH their heads, let
them spend their time in trying TO get
q living through their own energies.
Establish ut once all kinds Of light
manufactures for women, such rs
wearing apparel, jewelry, and all light
fancy articles too numerous to men
tion-and If women r to be called
tea gossips. let them sell the tea them
selves. II women can govern empires,
rs they do In China and England, In
