Mr.. Lincoln on Woman Suffrage.

The following story is related of the late
President Lincoln:
There lived in Springfield in 1860, and
probably lives there still, an Irish day la
horer named John McCarty, an intense
Democrat. Some time after the Presiden-
tial election, Mr.. Lincoln was walking
along the public square, and John was
shoveling out the gutter. AS the Presi-
dent elect approached, McCarty rested on
his shovel, and holding out his hand, said
bluntly:
CAM so yer elected President, are We :?
Faith an it wasn't by my vote at all, at
ALL"
"Well, yes, john" replied Mr.. Lincoln,
shaking hands very cordially with John,
1.-The papers say I'm elected, but it seems
odd I should be when you opposed me-"
"Well Misther Lincoln" said John,
dropping his voice, lest some brother
Democrat should hear the confession, Pm
glad you got it, after all. It's moighty lit
tie pace I've had wild Biddy for vOtin' for
ninst ye: an if ye'd been bate she'd ha'
driv me from the shanty as shure's the
worrold.n
"Give my compliments to Biddy, John,
and tell her I'll think seriously of woman
suffrage" said Mr.. L., with smile as he
passed on to his office.

The Way We Wear Our Hair.

MEssRs. EDITORS What is more alb
surd? What more uncomfortable Only
think what ridiculous picture the head
of a fashionably dressed lady of the pres
ent day will present to future generations:
Loaded down with rolls, braids, curls and
frizzes, pinned on to single handful or
less of our own natural hair, straining at
the roots, heads aching with the pulling
and weight of it, and the unnatural and
constrained attitudes it compels US to take,
reaching half way over the forehead and
half way down the back, wearing on our
patience, temper and time. Only think of
it! The hours we spend in arranging it,
the trouble and care it is to us, and then
ask ourselves what we do it for? Some OF
us poor sufferers have but wee bit OF our
own, barely enough to hold on the rest.
We groan under the burden which every
day we pin on to it, yet we are very mod
crate. perhaps, compared to most ladies,
| and wear but half what the majority of
women kind do, unless, indeed, we get
ourselves up for special state occasion.
Then it is fearful We make frantic
| rush to unload the moment the occasion is
| ended, and give sigh Of comfort and re-
| lief as we brush out our own thin locks,
/ mentally exclaiming, 80, that the day
would come when [ can escape.this bond
age.n Yes, it is bondage to Fashion.
1t is the fashion, and that is why we do 1t.
We would as soon think of running for
Congress, it would require as much moral
courage, as to set ourselves against the
prevailing fashion.
If it were the fashion to shave our heads,
doubt not the most of us would do it, and
tie on ribbons and flowers, and think it
was very becoming; and those of us who
had the courage not to do it, would be
styled old-fashiOned, old-maidish, eccen-
trio; would be uncomfortable and con-
scous of being odd (?) Can anybody tell
me who makes the fashions? Of course, [
know they come from Paris; at least, l
know everybody says so, but if [ were to
go there, could [ see the very august body,
or bodies, who invent them? Because /
mean, some day of desperation or despair,
to go and on my knees implore them to let
the fashion be-wearing our own hair. |
would not have it twisted into an in
significant little knot behind, which [
grant would look anything but pretty or
becoming but cut short. We would then
all look younger and prettier, and be saved
deal of veXatiOn.
1 have no aspirations for the ballot or
office 1 don't desire to adopt the bloomer
style of dress, or in any way to make
man of myself since Providence saw fit to
make me woman, but in their compare
tive freedom from fashions yoke, and es
pecially in their shorn locks, l envy the
"lords of creation" and long to initiate
them. ONE OF THE AFFLICTED.

STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE.-A cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing
from Rockingham county, Va, says:-"A
strange freak of nature has taken place in
the track of a severe hail storm that Oc-
Cured in this region some three weeks
ago. We are not aware of anything of
the kind occurring heretofore. 1t is this:
that all the orchards in the track of the
hailstorm have come out in full bloom.
Some orchards are in as full bloom as they
ever were in the spring. Not only the APP
pie trees are in bloom, but the locust trees
in many places are also in bloom. A gen.
tleman came to my house last week and
told me on his road here he.saw an apple
tree with several bushels of ripe apples on
it. and thousands of bloom on the same
tree. A very pretty but strange sight"

GOV. BULLOCK'S ALLEGED REASON FOB
RESlCNING.

Democratic organs are bowling
all over the country that Governor
Bullock, of Georgia, resigned his
position after robbing the State Of
enough to keep him in affluence
the remainder of his life, and in
order to avoid the exposures that
would have followed in the impeach-
ment which certainly awaited him.
The Ex-Governor has spoken for
himself on this subject, and this is
what he says:-lED. Lou.
Ex. DEPT STATE OF GEORGIA, !
ATLANTA, October %, 1871.
To my Political Friends and the People of
Georgia:
I have this day received informa-
ton, the truth of which Icannot
doubt, that the political conspira-
tors who seek the overthrow, not
only of the reconstructed govern
ment of Georgia, but of the United
States, have secured the pledges of
q sufficient number of the incoming
members of the Lower House of
General Assembly to vote without
previous investigation for Articles
of Impeachment against me imme-
diately after they have assembled
and organized on Wednesday, the
first day of November next; and
that having adopted such articles
in the House, q sufficient number of
Republican Senators will be un-
seated to ensure conviction upon
the articles so presented. I also
learn that the Judge of the Supreme
Court, who is personally and politi-
cally bitterly hostile to me, has in
formed his friends that this pro-
gramme has been perfected, and that
ne has been selected to preside over
the Senate during the trial; and |
that the Senator representing Gen. |
Toombs' district is to be elected |
President OF the Senate, and imme- |
dlately announce himself as, and
claim to be, Governor during the
pending impeachment and there |
after for the balance of my unex-
pired term. |

which he made il, but not 30 with
Tweed. There amt no vanity about
him. So long ez he hez tho control
Nv the party he don't care q cent
whether he is publicly recognized
or not. Ez he remarkt to me ef
the way to my coatinuashen Of
power is in denunciashen NV me,
very good, denounce me. I Kin
stand il. I amt the first man who,
to get on, hez trampled over the
dead body nv his reputashen. I'd
jist ez soon pull the wires behind
the curtain ez to manipulate the
pulpits in front Nv it. I amt agoin
to let personal vanity stand in the
way Nv the grand success. I'm hop
ing for next year. I'm rather a
heavy load for the party to carry
jest now, and I'm going to relieve
'em-till after the Presidential elec-
ton"
Then I saw wat motive wuz &C.
locating the Amerikin Napoleon,
and I wuz agin lost in wonder.
Whoever the Democratic nominee
is, he will simply be q shadder, NV
which Tweed will be the power be-
hind the throne, wich is greater
than the throne itself. And what
o glorious prospeck opens to us |
Think nv q Democratic President
in 1873, with Tweed behind him |
Think Nv Tweed making collectors,
and assessors, and postmasters, and
all nv EN- bein responsible solely to
him! Ell he hez made NV himself
the revenues Nv one city, wat will
he do when he hez the nashon to
bleed?

relashens with Tweed.
