Henry Ward Beecher, atthe meeting last
week of the National Womans Suffrage Con-
5 vention, in New York, very neatly explained

guished speakers who were to be present; and

garded by the latter perhaps as weak ad-
mission of the sHeEiority of the male Sex.

The project for giving to New York place
of popular resort and instructive amusement,
fashioned in some manner upon the great
Crystal Palace at Sydenham England, seems
to meet with favor on all hands, and as the
coporators are soon to elect officers, the en-
terprise will probably take tangible form
before long. The charter granted by the
Legislature allows capital of 81, 900, 900 and
