Mrs. Stanton.
This celebrated lecturess was published
to be at McGregor on the evening Of We'd
nesday last. Owing to delay of the cars
she did not arrive until IL. On the next
day at 2 P. NJ, she talked to q fair audi
ence, and with much acceptability. We
were not an attendant, and Of course,
know nothing Of her role, except that it
was to convince her hearers that women
could be educated to fiji all the positions
in life required Of men. A lady who
heard Mrs. Stanton, very sententiously re-
marked to Us that the theories of Mrs. s.
sounded prettily, but the practice of them
would probably be out of the question.
The lecturess asked S75 for teaching our
people how much the women are abused
by that dreadful creature called MAN. We
think she did not get full price from the
managers, owing to the fact that she did
not arrive at the time of contract; for
non arrival, the lady was not to be blamed.
In another part of our paper will be
found communication relative to
Woman's Rights, &C., &c. We make few
comments at present.
Rev. Mr.. Hatfield, of the NJ. f Centen-
airy Church, Of Chicago, recently delivered
most bitter lecture on the "Pelnicious
results Of Woman Suffrage" The Rever-
end gentleman is brilliant writer and an
eloquent talker: we intended to copy q
portion Of his lecture, but it is not possi-
ble to do Sc now. Ills main points were
that voting would lead to want of respect
for women and they would ultimately
become coarse, unfeminine, quarrelsome,
jealous, and generally trifing.
We love women ever so much, but We
think they have the right to do as they
please, and that is fright" enough to suit
US. There is no need Of passing laws
authorizing women to vote. The law of
doing Us they like is as old as the history
of Eden. Even God was unreverenced,
unobeyed by the first female voter.
| III woman will she will,
You may depend ont,
| And II she wont she wont,
| And there's an end on't.'
Mrs. Stanton and company could have
voted long ago had they exercised their
natural prerogative of bidding man def
ance. Who is SO ungallant as to stand at
the ballot box and challenge the beautiful
and accomplished Miss Susanna, Maria.
Matilda Handsome? We say to the
ladies: .'Go up to the polls and get your

Some Of our exchanges are telling about
the amount of current floating literature
of the day which news dealers in their
respective towns dispose Of These state
mcrts are proofs of the reading qualities
Of the several towns named. McGregor
is not outdone by any statement we have
seen. We have time to inquire of but
one of our dealers, Mr.. +. D. Ryan: Mr..
R. sells 76s dailies, 425 weeklies each
week, and 200 Magazines of all kinds
each month. There are probably received
on subscription through the Post Office,
not less than 500 papers from Iowa and
other States. In addition to this. the To-
cal circulation Of the city papers must be
over 1900. We think this repsrt will
convince outsiders that McGregor people
do some reading.

THE STEAM ENGINE.-Any one
who has ever felt like questioning
the fact that q locomotive engine is
among the marvellous creations of
human skill, should study the nam.
moth machines which propel tho
immense ocean steamers like the
Scotia and the Persia. There is
something awful in this ponderous
iron anatomy, as it throbs and sObs
in the bosom of these huge levia-
thans. You have only to know that
the engine of the Persia works up
to three thousand horse powers, con
sumes one hundred tons of coal dai.
ly and employs sixty-two engineers,
tiremen and labOrers, to form some
idea of its enormous dimensions and
capacities. All this mass of metal

tons of coal (at the starting, is hid

SMALL POX.-An eflectual remc-
dy for Smallpox is said to have been
recently found by surgeon of the
British army in China. The mode
of treatment is as follows; When
the preceding fever is at its height,
and just before the eruption appears
the chest is rubbed with crOtOn oil
and tartaric ointment. This causes
the whole of the eruption to appear
on that part of the body, to the re.
lief of the rest. It also secures %
full and complete eruption, and thus
prevents the disease from attacking
the internal organs. This is now
the established mode Of treatment
in the English army in China, and
is regarded as a perfect cure.

they halted. Line officers ran be

those of the living.
Back and forth they went, in the
rear Of their companions, asking
men if their ammunition held out
indicating localities where shots
might be effective; and encouraging
them with hopeful words:
