The present agitation for woman's rights, if it
has not accomplished all its purpose, seems at
least to have developed in women some capac-
ties that they had not been supposed to possess.
We hear Of them carrying on farms, in the west
ern states, editing newspapers, practicing law
and medicine with success, conducting building
operations, and doing business as brokers in
New York, running for congress and the presi-
dency, and engaging in almost every other bust
ness of which men until lately have had a
monopoly. Just now two or three stories of
woman's courage and proves in circumstances of
great peril are told. One OF the women thus test
ed by dangeri is asserted to be the bravest woman
in the world. Her name is Van Harmon and she
lives in Colorado One day in July, while her
husband, with other men from their neighbor-
hood, was in pursuit of Indians, her two children
came running into the house crying, Indians,
Indiansp Two shots fired at the little ones hit
the door just as the mother shut it in the faces
of three Cheyenne warriors. Boiling the heavy
Oaken door and piling against it such heavy
furniture as she could, the intrepid woman
seized a revolver and rife and stood near the
open window ready to shoot whenever painted
face should show itself Her resolute conduct
kept the sayages at distance. After vainy
trying for some time to out-maneuver the woman,
the warriors set FIRE to the barn and went away.
The smoke attracted the attention of the scouting
party, who returned in time to prevent much
damage from the flames.
This was certainly well done and would have
been creditable to any mans bravery, yet it
was hardly more remarkable than the conduct
of a woman in Detroit who, when the gentle
man attending her through the street at night
was assaulted by two highwaymen, Joined him
in resistance, and after putting the ruffians to
flight pursued one Of them, caught and held
him, disregarding two shots from his revolver,
until the police came up and relieved her of her
dangerous charge. But the browning example
of female courage and energy, though of diff
ferent kind from the two we have mentioned. is
that ofthe little girl, nine years DID, who lately
arrived at town in central Iowa, having tray-
eled unprotected all the way from western Kan.
sas, bringing with her two sisters, one an in
FAINT, whom she carried in her arms, and the
the other only three years old Her parents
had emigrated to Kansas, and had both died
there, and she determined TO return to Iowa
and safely accomplished her journey. Such al
instance OF intelligence, energy and fortitude in
so young child is perhaps unparalleled.

ever, Kisses, howls, wild imprerations arose;
