WOMEN AT THE POLLS.


The Rlectien in Wyenins-Ladies Voting
Scenes and Incidents.
the Burlington Iowa, Aawkeye.j "
There is great rejoicing here to-day,
mingled with "wailing and crashing OF
teeth" Judge w. T. Jones, the Republican
candidate for delegate to Congress, is elected
BY majority Of one hundred and sixty
votes. The Democrats carried the last
election BY majority Of l4oO votes. The
ladies very generally awaited themselves of
their ncwly-acquired right of franchise.
Even the fancy women here were out to a
man: believe wrote you in my last that
two ladies had been put upon the Republi-
can ticket, one for County Clerk, and the
other for School Superintendent. Alas for
the degenerscy Of thee times they shared
the common fate of their associates. There
were found men ungallant enough to run in
opposition to them, and unchivairous enough
to accept OF the victory over them.
1t was some consolation, however, to
wounded constituencies to know that one of
the ladies ran whole length ahead Of the
other candidates ON her own ticket, and
came within ten votes Of flooring her Demo
cratic competitor. That was Mrs. Pickett,
candidate for county clerk. l suppose that
- the Republicans moved upon the enemy,
they thought they must keep the Pickett in
advance. The ladies, with few exceptions,
were brought to the polls in carriages and
somnibuses, deposited their ballots, and i'm
mediately stepped in again and were driven
home. One incident Of the day was worth
relating. The Oldest woman-perhaps the
oldest persOn-in Cheyenne, eighty years
of age, went to the polls and voted her first
ballot. When she alghted from the buggy
the whole crowd surrounding the polls,
Republicans and Democratic, took off their
hats while she marched through and de-
posted her vote. When she turned to 60
away, three cheers were called for and given
80 rousingly that they were heard for
several squares. She'll be likely to remem-
Der her first ballot while she lives. The
ladies didn't all vote one way by any means.
Undoubtedly the majority voted the Re-
publican ticket, but quite a sprinkling of
them voted with the Democrats. 1t would
seem little ungrateful not to have done so.
But both parties had runners out with bug
gies, from morning till shutdown, gathering
up all the ladies and females that could be
found. Of course we did not expect any
improprieties on the part of the ladies'. And
1T was at least fine illustration of that
respect and reverence which the men of
America have for females, that not even q
drunken rough was heard to offer an insult.
This may have been partly owing to the
tact that both parties were courting them.
might make some comments upon the
manifest tendency OF the thing, however, in
its incipiency, that does not seem promis-
ing but forbear.

THE RITE OF CIRCUMCIsIoN.-This rite
was administered to child of John Bower
at Washington by the Rev. Rabbi z. Jo-
sephs, Of Baltimore. The Star says of the
ceremony:
The child is brought ora cushion into the
room prepared for the ceremony. where, on
a center table, are four wax tapers burning
on either corner of square tray, the sur,
face of which is filed with sand, the rest of
the table being decorated with bouquets.
As the child was brought in, the officiating
Rabbi, Rev. r. Josephs, of Baltimore, in
yoked the blessing of God on the new
conner, that he might grow up to be a
righteous man., etc.; to which all present
responded in Hebrew, blessed be the
newcomer" The Rabbi then (clad in the
tallith, which looks something like break
fast shawl thrown around the shoulders
and tied behind the 'arms), takes the child
and places it on the pillow prepared for the
carrying out Of the ceremony, and after a
short chant, proceeds with the operation,
which is but the work of moment. The
removed cuticle is then burned in the tray
OF sand, surrounded by the wax candles
above mentioned. A few more prayers and
mvoca tons, and the slipping of wine all
around, concludes the ceremony, when the
child is removed, and the male parent re-
celves the congratulations of the company.
A bountiful collation. then follows, and the
entire day Is observed as a holiday by the
family interested.

After making the necessary deductions
there is left for home consumption, North
and South. 1884, bales. We put down for
Southern consumption, 1870 bales, which
includes 1000 bales taken for consumption
i'll Virginia and counted in the exports from
that State, leaving for Northern consump-
ton So2,S42 bales against 8l0.720 in 1869,
showing an increase Of II, l22 bales.
From q letter dated first instant, received
from b. +. NOurse, of Boston, chairman Of
the Statistical Committee OF the Manufac-
turers and Planters Association of the
United States, an increase of one per cent
III Northern consumption is assumed the
past year over that of 1860, which shows
an increase of S4O7 bales, thus making, ac-
cOrding to Mr.. NOurse's assumption, the
past years consumption 849, Ia bales. Our
figures show the Northern consumption the
past year to be S52, 842 bales, q difference of
only BIS bales.
The value of the crop Of the past year
llS697O) may be put down in round num-
bers at $780,, 900 900. This immense amount
of money has been of incalculablc benefit to
the entire country.
The summing up of the crop. as developd
in our statement, exceeds the estimate of
the most sanguine in the early part of the
past season from half to three quarters of
a million OF bales. which proves the utter
fallacy of the many advance statements of
growing crops which are heralded through
out Europe and the Northern States for the
purpose of affecting prices Such state
ments work great injury to the planter 40
well as to the buyer and consumer.

LOVES LESSON.

A sprightly youth and maiden gay,
In smiling summer weather.
Where love within q garden lay,
One morning strOlled together
The nymph had laughed the god to scorn,
Which served but to am,ise him;
And he had vowed that very morn
To lodge within her very bosom.
She tripped along with fairy feet
That scarcely Dent q flower
And cullcd from many blossom sweet,
Deriding Cupid's power.
Just then the youth who asked his aid,
And begged he'd not refuse him,
Pickeda fair moss rose for the maid
And placed it in her bosom
Sly love within the leaves lay hid
While to her heart she pressed him:
Unconscious thus Of what she did,
The simple maid carre ,sed him;
4 transient life the buds retained
The maiden sighed to lose 'em,
But Cupid and the thorns remained,
And long disturbed her bosom.

OF those most richly dressed. Among the

and says of him: Friend Whittier is gen.

some OF his devotional poems, such as NV

Quaker sobriety plays shy, genial humor
which reminds US of Charles Lamb. When
describing the usage of his drab-coated
brethren in regard to those who speak too
often in meeting, and not always to edifica
ton, he told us of a certain meeting in New
England, which passed and recorded the
following resolution: 1T is the sense of this
meeting that George c. be advised to
