From the New York World
The fearful sowing of the early Ia
borers in the field OF the rights of WO-
men is now pretty evidently turning
10 a more OF less joyful reaping. The
sickle of Miss Anthony may now be
put in, for the harvest of suffrage Is
riue. The incuTsiOn Of the woman OF
Wyoming into the jury-box turns out
to be much more than a sally IL our
alley, or Z dash Of pOachers upon our
preserves Of prerOgG;iVe. II Is a Sefl-
Gus invasion with a view TO perIna-
nept Occupancy. And IL has received
the formal countenance and coDgTaJu-
latiOn OF the most officially illustriOus
legal luminary of Laramie. Chief
Justice Dove has returned fervent
thanks that he has been permitted to
behold this day, ana the jurywOmen
have taken their seats with = mix
ture, we may suppose, or the sentl-
mencs with which they wouid
suspicate i pilgrimage and a picnic.
Nor is this assertion vi Itself BY
Iopg-suppressed sex endemical. The
women OF a village in Massachusetts
baVs vindicated themselves against
onDrassion simultaneously with their
sisters in the capital OF wyoming by
depositing actual ballots ia an actual

lions II is true that, though IL was
1 thus a protest, it was not a prot0liar-
/ tyrdom. since Lucy stone black
well and her obedient motner-lh-

against the tyranny Of male New
Jersey, ami a more numerous b0dy q
| the women of We5tchester had offered
their ballots TO the confusion and con-
fntatiou Of the iusp3ctOrlal miniOn OF
the bigotry OF male New York. But
the number OF these experiments
/ evinces how widely the good SEED OF
the original hu5bandwOmen has been
scattered and how much fruit 1t has
borpe. IL is idle to deny that these
symptoms are significant, that there
i q considerable section OF the sex, ol
which the precise extent, to be sure,
cannot be known, whose members
have become so thoroughly Convinced
of the uses of suffrage as panacea for
ali the ills that female flesh is heir to
