A WOMAN WITH Six VoTEs DON'T WANT ANY
MoRE.-There is a woman out in Joliet Illinois,
with few emphatic ideas on the topics which
agtate the bosoms of portion Of her sex, and
she talks in this way 81 just don't believe
in these new women notions. ] have raised six
boys-four of them vote now, and the others
will soon be old enough. Then | will have elk
votes. Now these good d-for-nothing women who
have fooled their time away and never raised a
single boy, come around and want every woman
to vote for herself. don't believe in such nom
sense. ] have raised my six boys. and am go
ing to have every one vote for me Those
women who go lecturng around the country in
stead of raising boys, have no business TO vote
anyway. And when they say that they are just
as good as am and have right to vote for
themselves if they have no boys to do so for
them, it is not true. If they are as smart MS J
am, why did not they raise some boys to vote
for them? | tell you do not mean to be cheated
out of my six votes by any such good-fornoth-
ing folks. ] guess the world would come to a
pretty pass, in a short time, if the women all
took to goin' around lecturing on wimmin 8
rights, instead Of raising boys"

FAT AND LEAN PEoPLE.-It is n striking fact
that most people want to weigh more than they
do, and measure their health by their weight, as
if man were pig, valuable in proportion to
his heaviness. The racer is not fat, the plow-
horse has but a moderate amount of flesh.
Heavy men not those which experience con
tractors employ to build railroads and dig
bitches. Thin men the world over are the men
for work for endurance they are wiry and
hardy thin people live the longest. The truth
is, fat is disease, and as proof, fat people are
never well day at time-and are not suited
for hard work. Still there is a medium between
being as fat as a butter-ball and as thin and
iuiceless as rail. For mere looks, moderate
rotundty is most desirabe-to have enough
flesh to cover all angularities. To accomplish
this 10 the shortest time a man should work but
little, sleep great part of the time, allow moth
ing to worry him, keep always in a Joyous,
laughing mood, and live chiefly on albuminates,
such as boiled cracked wheat, and rye, and oats,
and corn, and barley, with sweet milk and but
termilk, and meats. Sugar is the best fattener
known.--JourHal Of Good Living.

The Parting Hour.

The following exquisite poem says the Portland Erc
Ionmercidt, written by the late Edward Pollock ii
gifted California poet the 9th of January 1851 and
before been published IL given by poet
rend who about to depart "a for Oregon
ock saying: Take this; You may perhaps, read and
1recae the sentiments long after have ceased be
he living"
There's something in the "parting hour"
win chill the warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part
But this I've seen--and many pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the Journey be-
Adventurous, dangerous far,
To the wild deep bleak frontier,
To solitude or war
still something cheers the heart that dareS
In all OF human kind
And they who go are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to the bridegroom's homo
With doubtings and with tears,
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fearsf
Alas the mother who remains,
What comfort she find,
But this-the gone is happier
Than the one she leaves bohindi
Have you friend-a comrade dearl
An old and valued irendi
he sure your term OF sweet COncourse
At length will have endl
And when you part-as part you will
q take II not unknd,
If he who goes is happier
Than you he leaves behindl
God wills II so--and so it is:
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay.
And when, at last, poor Man subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind

A LfrrLE MoRH EcoNoMy. IF any one were to
affirm that we arc an economical people, he would
incur the risk of being laughed ut for his de-
clarAtion. We court prosperity, but dcspise the
surcst road which leads TO that goal. There is
more lavish eN1onditure in California, even now,
when the changes are everywhere rung upon
''hard times than among any other people Of
equal resources. The fact is, the larger part of
our people are poor, Mt least they are not rich,
and are either too proud, or are clogged by too
many pioneer notions TO practice economy, 1t
comes very hard TOR your primitive Californian
who has tossed his slugs about to give or take
even change. Even the Oakland ferry company
will take thirty cents for n fare of twenty-five
cents, rather than make the current change al
though there is n mint close by where fve-cent
pieces can be had by the bushel. 1t is not a
mild term to say that retention of five cents
more than the stipulated sum is II swinde, but
what other term fits the cGsc2 We make faces
at economy, while the number who have at
tanned fortunes or even competence, Is sgnf-
cantly small There is nothing that the average
Californian breads more than to be thought "A
stingy fellow. And rs the distinction between
penuriou6neas and wise economy is more con-
founded here than elsewhere, we keep clear
of both as possible II is hard to get adjusted
to the exigences of the times. We come down
ungraciousy The style OF expenditure in 1880,
the free and easy payment Of any price without
asking questions suits our tempers even now
much better than our purses. II wealthy East
ern visitors smile at our folly, how can we help
it2 So long as we 90 upon stilts, eome one near
NJ hand will be continually saying in an under
tone, " Poor and proud" We have had twenty
years of great expectations. If as many fortunes
are made and kept during the next twenty years
ne were squRndered in the last two decades it
will be because there are fewer persons TO despise

DEATu OF A llERCULEAN OLD Man. .-- Isaac
Eaton, aged ninety-hve years, who Clod ON last
Christmas, at his residence near South Bend,
Indiana, was n soldier of tho war Of 1872,
and was at Washington when the city was cap
turcd by the British. In bis younger days NJ.
Eaton was a man of great strength In the war
Of 1872 Eaton served with tho Virginia militia,
under the command of General Mason, Nir-
ginian, born in TIE same county with Latcn. 1t
is more than probable that military disciI line was
very lax in those times, and one day, 0t gen
eral review, Mason rodo up and down the line,
proClaiming that he had man in his command
who could whip anything in the whole army.
This challenge, several times repeated, was at
last responded to by perfect giant of iclloY
from Pennsylvania regiment who came stalk
ing down the lines, aud asked Mason to bring
out his man. The General ordered Eaton out Of
the ranks. lie was eyed BY the Penney lyanan
with about as much scorn rs Goluh was sup
posed to have looked upon David. Word was
given to begin the battle, aud there, before the
whole American army, formed in n hollow
square, the two men stripped to the waist and
engaged in combat hnt, in less time than it
takes to tell it, Eaton lifted his herculean oppo-
nent from the ground, and, twirinG him over
with apparently as much case as dandy would
n cane, held him up before the whole army in
this inverted position, until the giant Pennsyl-
vanian begged for quarter. At another time, in
kentucky, Eaton was forced TO accept chnl-
enge to fight and on the FIRST encounter threw
HE opponent to the ground with such force hs
to break nearly all his ribs.
