Theodore Tilton, in a letter to the Svra

ion land even without this decision) it
is clear that although under the ori@ina;
constitution each State gave the right
Of suffrage 70 each of its citizens rs il
chose, without dictutiol, by the Federal
Government, yet, under the new amend
ments, all this old practice has been
changed, and the CONSTITUTION itself now
direcsly secures right OF suffrage to citI-
zenS Of Che United States, and forbids the
States to deny or abri1go this right.
Now, who arc 'the citlzeHS Of the United
States? In other words, who are the
people whose rights caun0t bU douiel or
abridged by the States because it is stCur-
ed to them by the United States? The
Fourteenth Amendment answers as lot.

Osition that woman isnot ii person or
not citizen For instance, the Law pro
vides that nobody but i citizen can pre-
empt land or register ship; and yet
women as well as men can pre-empt land
or register ship. In other words wo
men are citizens. There is no longer any
lawyer, or judge, or politician, or news
paper man that denies it, But to admit
that woman is d citizen is to admit her
right as citizen to the privileges and
immunities Of citizenship, among which

the Syracuse Journal by saying, The ar
gument proves too much, for If the right
Of suffrage belongs to all citizens, then it
belongs not only to men, or to men and
women, but likewise to children an
swer, certainly It does. accept the log
ic. Every American child acq uires, at
the moment OF his birth, his American
citizenship and all the rights which are
included in it-just as he acquires, at the

ty bequeathed to him by his ancestors

THE CANADA HARvEsTs.- A

THE CANADA HARvEsTs-A report of
the harvests in the different districts in
Canada this year, just submitted by the
agents of the Grand Trunk Railway
Company, may be thus summed up: In
Ontario, the wheat crop for 1871 is the
largest and best ever harvested. Other
grains are up to the average. The hay
crop is light, and the root crops are
slightly below the average /; while in
Quebec the spring wheat is an average
crop, barley and peas have turned out
well, the hay crop is good, and the root
crops promise handsome return. Onr
northern neighbors, as well as our own
people, therefore, have this year abundant
reasons for gratitude and thanksgiyino
to the QiYor of all good. .

STATE FAIR.

Phe State Fair, held at milwaukee
during four days last week, may he said
to have been success. The entries were
large and the attendance was large.
There was large amount Of machinery,
Of furniture, and Of fine arts, on exhibitson
And there was fair exhibition of manu-
features. Of cheese and butter, and of
vegetables In stock and fruit there
seemed to be a deficiency. We saw
nothing Of either equal to what was ex-
Inhibited ct Kenosha county Fair. Posi-
bly, we did not see the best on exhibition.
There were number Of inside shows
and exhibitions. Among the number
was tent Of four large cattle-2 seven
years old, and 2 six years old. The
seven years old weighed 1910 and 5000,
and the six years old were equally large
IN proportion 20 age. There were eating
places under tents and not under tents.
There were places ut which beer was
sold and perhaps something stronger.
And we believe there were places for
gambling on the Fair Grounds. And
with this notice of gambling places, 1t
IS well to close this notice of The Fair of
the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society.

AWonderruI Ghost story

The Athans (Tenn.) Post is RESPONSE
BILE for the following novel and startling
sensation.
il ID told that an engineer on a Ten
nessee night train has recently, on sew
eral occasions, discovered a red light
swinging at furious rate near a station
where the train stops for water. The
light would sometimes be in front and
sometimes in the rear Of the train
When the engineer would stop his train
and send some one 30 learn why the sig
nal to break up was made, the messenger
would be greatly surprised to see the
light vanish. Investigation has proved
that no person was there With a lantern,
and the brakemen and conductor concur
also IN haFing beheld the phenomena,
which, so far as known, Is without visible
cause, though It is alleged that 3 year or
two ago q signal man was killed near
the point named. rs,..
On another occasion some laborers on
the same line were coming down the
road in hand-ear, about three o'clock
in the morning, when they suddenly
heard the approach Of an engine and
train. and knowing that no train was due
in the vicinity at that hour, they became
frightened and, jumping ont pf the car,
threw il of the track 70 avoid a collision.
Theg had hardly accomplished this when
a train swept by presenting a spectacle
more appalling than the spocalyptio
picture Of death on the pale horse. The
phantom engineer stood with his flesh
less hand on the throttle-yalve and his
socketless eyes peering in the darkness
ahead; the pale and ghostly fireman was

We have just enough religion to ma Ike
us hate, not enough to make us love one
another.
How is it possible to expect that man
kind will take advice, when they will not

Apollo was held the god of physic and
sender of diseases. Both were originally
the same trade, and still continue.
When true genius appears in the

that the ounces are all in confederaey

Complaint is the largest tribute Heaven
receives, and the sincerest part of our
devotion. MOO
The stoical scheme of supplying our
wants BY looping OFF our desires, is ike
cutting off our feet when we want shoes.
The reason why so few marriages are
happy is because young ladies spend
their time in making nets, notin making
cages. io.f
The latter part Of wise mans life is
taken up in curing the follies, prejudices
and false opinion she has contracted in

that they give Immortality to none but

the actions, persons, and events we read,
and we little regard the authors.

How National Bank Notes are
Cancelled

3 On Saturday upward Of two millions
of Cancelled fractional, legal tender and
national bank notes were destroyed in
the basement of the Treasury. Almost
every day in the week large amount Of
condemned money is thus destroyed,
though seldom so large sum as above
referred to. A large iron furnace has
been made, which is so built as to con-
sumo its own smoke, and into which the
condemned notes are placed by com
mittee appointed for the purpose. The
concern is then closed, and an immense
draft of air is conveyed into the furnace E
by means of an hydraulic force-pump,
which is supplied from the Potomac
water-pipes in the building. The notes
are then ignited and the blast soon re-
duces them to tinder, which passes
through a pipe into reservoir of water,
through which it is strained, leaving
nothing bgt the chemical refuse, resemb-
ling somewhat the Stag from a copper
smelling furnace. .-J0aiTRGl,
