MISS SECRETARY LEWIS.


Kind of Woman's Kishts that Nobody OBJ
The fact that Miss Augusta Lewis was on
Monday last at Cincinnati elected Secretary of
the International Typographical Union has
been already noted by telegraph. We find in
the Cincinnati Gazette of Monday the following
pleasant report of the proceedings
Mr. D. W. Flynn, of Washington, said he was
instructed by the union he represented to make
a nomination for the Office of Recording and
Corresponding Secretary, which it gave him
great pleasure to make, because it gave this
union an opportunity to take a step in the
march of progress eminently proper for it to
take. He was instructed to present the name of
Miss Augusta Lewis for the Office just named.
(Applause.)
of this nomination. 1t was but the recognition
of an element in the Union which ought to be
welcomed, and ought to be encouraged and pro-
tected (applause), and he moved the nomination
be made unanimous.
The Chair could hardly put the question until
unanimous aye came from all quarters of the
house.
Miss Lewis arose, her face modestly suffused
with bushes and said:-
'Mr President:-I feel that amInot cauable to
serve the interests OF the union in this capacity
well as it deserves, or well other person
of greater experience can do, and while thanking
the gentlemen for this honor, would prefer to de-
cline in favor of some one of greater experience.
This Is my feeling on the subject
Mr.. Flynn replied, saying that while he ap-
preciated the tfmidity of Miss Lewis in seeking
to avoid this honor, he could not agree with her
in regardI to her ability to fulfil the duties of
the office He knew she was fully capable, and
he hoped the convention would honor itself in
honoring the representative of class whom
every man is bound to respect.
At this point an enthusiastic member moved
that the President be directed to cast one ballot
for the whole convention for this office, and to
cast that ballot for Miss Lewis. Another mem
Der instantly objected. 1t was the first time he
had had an opportunity to vote for woman,
and he would not allow any man to cast that
vote for him. The Chair remarked that, being
a single man, he would declare that motion out
of order. The Chair then put the question upon
the election of Miss Lewis, and it was of course
carried unanimously.

OUT OF HIS HEAD.
singular Performance by an Insane sIan.

The audience at Walacks Theatre On Tuesday
evening were somewhat scandalized by the strange
actions OF Patrick F. Donney, wealthy junk
dealer in this city, and guest at the Grand Hotel.
Donnelly nourished three silk handkerchiefs,
which were red white, and blue, and he also leaped
and stamped while standing in the aisle. Mr.. Moss,
the manager, had the man removed from the
building, and Donnelly renewed his antics on the
sidewalk, thereby attracting great crowd. Super
intendent Jourdan, who happened TO be in the Ves-
tbule at the time, ordered Donnely's arrest, and
the madman was placed in one OF the cells at the
Central ONCE. DOnnely was handsomely dressed,
though the colors were somewhat gaudy and unu-
sual and he had diamond pin in his shirt bosom.
The room in which he was confined contained few
articles of furniture, which Donney proceeded to
smash at his leisure. He tore up the Ded-linen,
upset the iron bedstead, cut the Croton water-pipe
and created complete wreck. The water mad
drenched him to the skin, and
he was in pitiabe plight when
overcome. Being placed in another strong room
Donnelly began to destroy the contents there Also
The man was then placed in the corridor, and des-
pite the surveillance Of the oficer post endea-
Vored to tear out the register he had already
in the cells. Yesterday morning the prisoner was
arragned before Justice Dowling and held for trial
for malicious mischief and disorderly conduct, the
bail being nXed at $1,000. IL does not appear that
Donnelly is actually confirmed lunatic, though he
has frequently betrayed such tendency by his eX-
traordinary actions. He made no explanation as to
his movement neither did his friends vouchsafe any.

Governor Alcorn, of Mississippi, recently ap-
pointed w. g. Henderson to a Judgeship and
in sending his nomination to the Senate said he
selected him from several gentleman equally
well qualified, solely on account of the letter
which we print below. The Governor added
that he could not refrain from saying, 'on an
occasion so touching to every man of the South,
that there is an elevating sense of the good old
world when labor toiled for duty, not for meet
in this spectacle of an emancipated slave con-
senting to sacrifice all other tavorites for Office

Public Opinion on the Feniau Affair.


MONTREAL, June "a preliminary meeting
of influential gentlemen has been held to take
steps to afford the people opportunity of ex-
pressing their opinions respecting the recent
Fenian raids, and providing for the course to be
taken by the Government to prevent sach occur
rences hereafter.
The chair was occupied by Thomas Work
man, M. P.
Several speeches were made on the comments
of the English press on the raids. The Ameri-
can Presidents proclamation, and especially the
remarks of the London Daily Ne,os and S1tur-
day Reoie,o respecting General Lindsay's speech,
were condemned.
The action taken by Mr.. Thornton in thanking
President Grant for his promptness in stopping
the raiders was considered disgraceful. Hon.
Mr.. Morris said that the Canadian government
had already stated the case in a strong manner
to the imperial government, and intended to
send Cabinet minister to London to represent
their views.
