Legend Of the Ass.

The legends respecting the ass are
as quaint as they are innumerable.. -
According to an old rabbinical le-
gend, no being could enter the ark
unless Noah rendered a special invi-
tation. When the food overwhelmn-
ed the world, the devil, who was
at the time wandering on the earth.
saw that he was about to be cut of
from contact with mankind, and that
his dominion would be lost forever.
The ark being completed, and the
beasts called to enter it in their prop
er order, the ass's turn came in due
course. Sadly enough for us hu-
mans, the ass was taken with q fit of
obstinacy, and refused to enter the
vessel according to orders. Noah
finally lost patience, and struck the
animal sharply, crying at the same
time to the headstrong beast: CEN
ter, thou devil" Rash aud Hateful
words The invitation was, of
course, accepted--the devil entered
the ark. We may be sure he gave
the patriarch and his family some
trouble during the voyage, and he
was on hand to begin operations
again on dry land as soon as the dis
embarkment should take place.

An UnsOlved Mystery.

A house three miles cast of West
erly, r. l., receives the questionable
favor of so-called spiritual manifesto
tiong. Their medium ia girl not
eight years old, of fragile form but
hitherto healthy, and the phenomena
began without premonition upon her
return from school, one afternoon.
AS soon as she went into the house
rappings were heard on the windows
and around the sides OF the room, the
noises following her from one room
to another as she passed through the
building. Not only were there
voices heard, but stands, chairs, crock
cry, large bureaus, heavy bedsteads
and ponderous ironware were seen to
move perceptibly as she passed them.
All these movements are acknowl-
edged to be the common phenom-
enon Of assumed manifestations of the
r sence Of disembodied inhabitants
10 The spirit land. A gentleman of
education and learning called at the
residence Of the child recently, and
be heard the rappings witnessed
chairs follow the child around the
room, without perceptible contact
with her; also saw light card table,
on which was placed heavy tray
filled with fiat irons, fall to the floor
as the child approached it, and singu-
lar to relate, the tray and contents
kept their position on the table the
same as when it was standing up
right The rappings on the windows
were frequent and loud, and when
the mother Of the child confidential
" told her spirit visitors that they
might break the glass and she would
stand the expense, two panes Of glass
came out in the twinkling of an eve.
The gentleman present examined the
window sash, and found the harden
ed putty, and even the tin wedges
had been taken out as clearly and
nicely as if sharp knife had been
used At times the manifestations
were so powerful as to shake the
house, and threaten disaster to the
building and its occupants.
On one occasion the child became
so exhausted that gentleman pres
ent attempted to wrap her in two
buffalo robes to quiet her, but the
disturbance became so much more
fearful and threatening that they
were glad to leave her to the mys-
FERROUS forces that seemed to claim
the right to control and use her for
their marvellous deeds. Thousands
of persons have visited the house
from the surrounding country, and
the pressure OF callers became so
great that the family were obliged
to remove the little one to the house
of a friend in the village of Westerly.
At this point we are confronted with
another mystery. Immediately after
being removed to the friends house
the manifestations ceased, and the
weakened little innocent was blessed
with quiet, rest and repose. There
is a good chance here tor an honest
investigation. These strange phe-
nomena, whose occurrence is SO fre-
repeated, deserve more care
full study by men Of science than
they receive.

The Status of Affairs in Richmond.

A dispatch from Richmond, Va,
Of the 10th says
All quiet tonight. Mayor Ellison's
police are in possession of the city.
Mayor CahOons force of forty men
are still in their station-house, around
which a large crowd of blacks have
been gathered all day. Gov. Walker
has sent a reply to Gen. Canby's let
ter, in which the Governor quotes all
the acts of Congress on the subject
to show that Candy had no shadow
of authority for interfering in mu-
nicipal affairs unless called on by the
Legislature or state authorities. Nor
has no any authority in the orders
issued by the President or Secretary
Of War, He says it is clear from
letter written by General Candy to
Mayor Cahoon on the 18th, that Cam
by had determined to protect Cahoon
in exercising the functions of the Of
fee, which, under the laws Of the
state. he did not and could not hold.
The Governor says, that as chief ex-
ecutive officer Of the state, he will
see it's laws faithfully performed, and
whom he finds the power of the state
inadequate, he will call on the United
States Government. He contends
that in a municipal difference in New
York neither General Candy nor any
military officer would have the right
to interfere, and therefore it should
not be done in Virginia, state that
stands on the same footing in the U.
s. with any other state.

The Fate of the English House of Lords.

1t cannot be long before the House
of Lords finds itself face to face with
the new revolution, bringing with it
changes which it will be as idle to
oppose as it was for Canute to at
tempt to keep back the rising tide.
The demand for popular government
will roll on against it like an over
whelming wave, compelling it to 90
with the current in order to avoid
destruction. As Legislative Cham
Der it will certainly be remodeled,
perhaps altogether abolished. If
second Chamber should be retained
at all, it will in all probability take
the shape of a Senate, whose men,
bers will be elected for life from
among candidates relying on their
personal merits, not on their aristo-
cratic birth, for election; and to
whom the nation, looking upon as a
body of true counsellors--a body of
really potent, grave, and reverend
seigniors" safely intrust ru-
ling powers.

is departed. As it stands at present
it is mere pageant, a relic, an ana
chronism, an absolute remnant of the
old feudal system. The masses have
taken care to render it impotent for
evil, though at the same time they
have rendered it impotent for good.
But for certain conservative ele-
ment in the national character, it
would ere this have been abolished
formally, AZ it has for some years
been abolished virtually, 1t has
been retained in form much on that
same principle which gives to men and
women a tendency to preserve relics
of bygone days, which. though cum
bersome and useless, they have new
ertheless not quite the heart to de-
stroy.-FrOm The Coming Revolution

England's Growing Respect for Us.

Samuel Osgood, now travelling in
Europe, writes long and interesting
letter to the New York Evening
Post, from which we clip the follow
ing:
when ! landed in Ireland, one
name WAS upon every intelligent per-
sons lips, and our generally bland,
scholarly and human Senator, Charles
Sumner, was spoken of as the savage
and bloodthirsty zealot for terrible
war upon England. Every body asked
me about him, from the driver on his
box TO the lord AZ the breakfast la
BILE and all were comforted with the
assurance that Mr.. Sumner was no
raw-head-and-bloody bones, and Of
ten his rhetoric was more alarming
than his logic and that his speech
on the Alabama question met with
favor from our people not because
they thought Of making war but be-
cause they felt aggrieved in the point
of honor, and believed that Reverdy
Johnson had treated with Clarendon
as If the matter at issue were one
merely of dollars and cents. / did
not find any Englishman who had
read the speech himself, and seen
that there was not single threat of
blood from the beginning to the end.
The alarm, however false, neverthe-
less showed the condition Of England.
The English are brave, and haze no
great objection TO any kind of q fair
fight; but they are also cool and
calculating, and they saw the agony
and ruin that war would bring upon
them. One gentleman in the civil
service, whom | met at Oxford, ask
cd whether ] thought the American
people would like to have Canada or
Cuba the most, and said that q war
would hurt us greatly, and ruin Eng
land.
II was interesting to hear the gen
eral professions Of goodwill towards
US, and the only confession Of sym
pathy with the Shareholders insur-
rection was from men who said that
we were growing too great and
strong, and division would make
Of us two comparatively modest and
harmless nations. Probably our
English Cousins forget most OF the
hard things they said during the war
and how many times our men were
asked if the North had any General
equal to Jefferson Davis, or if we ex-
pected to get over the defeat and
disgrace OF Bull Run. Motley thought
his English friends strangely oblivi-
Gus of what they had said to him
when he was in London in the early
years OF the war, and heard some
peers say that he was very irritable
on the whole subect--a charge that
is easily explained when it is known
that the country was often assaulted
within his hearing, and her ruin pre-
dicted, not in tones Of grief and
that once, at the great clubs-the
Atheneum, believeit was-our pa
triOtic historian took to the stump
for our abused flag and gave o scath-
ing Philippe in face Of our maligners.
Now the clubs, the press and Parlia-
ment, have changed their tone, and
they seem TO think that Brother
Jonathan is most hopeful young
fellow, and takes more and more af-
ter his father John, in spite of some
shortcomings in stoutness Of leg
and fullness of stomach.

Rottenness of New York Society.

1
A correspondent Of the Chicago
EUenlag Journal writes az follows:
We often hear Of people, who have
occupied prominent positions ia rural
cities and towns, coming TO New
York and soon being swallowed up
and lost in the crowd. Very large
is the number who undergo this ex-
perience. One has been the richest
man in some city Another has been
at the head of the bar A third may
have been Congressman, Governor,
or even Senator, and they come here
expecting to receive the same atten-
uons which they have been accus-
toned to have. But a few weeks
time convinces them Of their mistake.
Here where there is 80 much compe-
tition, so many superior men, 10 ev-
cry profession and branch Of business,
where humanity rudely jostles itself,
and everybody is looking out for
number one, the newcomer must be
no ordinary individual to obtain any
prominence and not become lost in
the crowd. The reverse of this, how
ever, is not unfrequently true. That
is to say, men come here who have
never enjoyed any social recognition
before, and contrive to obtain some
kind Of social status. Contractors,
SPECTATORS, government-tLieves and
Others, acquiring wealth suddenly,
flock hither from all over the coun-
try, because with all their money
they cannot overcome their antece-
dents and work up the social scale
where they have been known. Un-
like Boston or Philadelphia, New
York will ask no better questions of
them beyond the one as TO ducats.-
Ii they can answer that satisfactory
ly, if they are able to lease or buy
brown stone front and to drive gay
equlppage, go to the opera, and sail
down Fifth Avenue in fashionable
garments, they can secure immediate
entrance into some kind of society.
And | know Of many such families
living on Fifth Avenue, families who
never knew what it was TO have an
invitation from what is called genteel
society. There are men living onFifth
Avenue whose past career has been
VIGOROUSLY dishonorable and corrupt
who have had to leave other places
because their record was so bad
Once here no one asks about their
record. They drive out in stylish
carriages, take their wives and
daughters to the opera, loiter about
tho smoking room of the Fifth Ave
hue, Hoffman, st. James and Coleman
Houses, and in this manner "work
themselves forward" But do not
suppose for an instant that this shod-
dy, mushroom, disreputable elemen,
ever obtain access TO the old Knick-
erbocker society. The old families
here pride themselves as much upon
their antecedents as do the old Bos-
ton families, and they will continue
TO hold themselves aloof from the
common herd who float into the
metropolis on the waves of wealth
merely.

Is Woman Ready for the Ballot :


From the Boston Journal March g.
Chiekering Hall was we'll filed
with an appreciative audience, last
evening, to listen to Miss Lillian
Edgarton's lecture on the woman
question. The title was "Woman
is coming; is she ready for the bal
lot?" and, as might be almost infer
red from the title, the fair orator
took negative view of the subject,
She argued that the agitators of
woman suffrage led people to expect
from woman legislation that she
could not accomplish, and urged that
they would purify politics by increas-
ing the number of votes without inn
proving the quality. The ballot was
not required TO place woman in the
pulpit, on the atage, in the front
ranks Of science, literature and art,
or TO fit her to take her place among
the industrial occupations, and if she
wanted TO enter upon any new field,
such as the law, she should show pa
thence, exhibit fitness for the desir-
ed position and so if she wanted the
ballot, she should show herself capa-
BILE of using it, and should first earn
the right to il. One of the great
requisites for woman was indepen-
dence Of thought and action, and in
order TO deveIope this, she must
have work, and plenty of it. Strange
as it may appear women had never
availod themselves of associations,
such as existed s;mong males, for any
purpose whatever. They never CO.
operated, they Invariably allowed
their petty jealousies and local pref
udices TO stand in front OF every
thing else
Some women might, she allowed,
do much good in the way Of leglsla-
ton, but the greaa majority of them
were not Ia d position to act in that
capacity. But after all, if women
could not help the cause Of temper
ance, of labor, or aid in the social
amehoration Of their sex without, the
ballot, they would not help in solv-
ing those problems after they had
received tho boon they so much de-
sired. She wished associations of
women to be formed Cof an unpoliti-
cal character if they pleased), because
she thought such combinations
would do much to awaken the sym
patty Of rich women for poor women,
and would help to foster sense of
moral responsibility and tend to de-
velope individuality and organize the
power of women. Miss Edgarton
argued against an indiscriminate SUIT
frage for females, and urged that an
educational qualification should be
adopted. Women, if they possessed
the ballot, would be no more likely
to be pure than men, and if the
Irishman sold his vote for a glass OF
whisky it would be just as likely
that his country woman would sell
her ballot for a new bonnet. Wo
men were cunning, not in antago-
nism TO man, but rather as his help
mate, TO foster and render still more
sacred home associations, and to
work with man for the good of the
community at large. Woman want
ed the ballot when she was prepared
for it by education or otherwise, and
until that time arrived Miss Edgar
ton said size did not believe the ma
jority Of the female sex desired to
have the franchise thrust upon them.
