Plea Behalf or Humanity.

For some time past three insane women
have been confined in the Jail at Memphis,
and their condition, as described by the pa
pers of that city, is most pitiable, If not,
indeed, absolutely shocking. The publish
ed facts connected with the miserable situ-
alton of these unfortunate creatures have
been sufficient, we trust, to direct the atten-
ton of the proper authorities to the urgent
occasion for the provision Of some means
sufficiently efficacious to prevent the recur-
renee of the terrible scenes lately witnessed
in the Memphis Jail. Making editorial ref
erence to a communication on this subject,
the appeal of Tuesday says: '"Ihe details
connected with the condition Of the three
insane women in the county jail, if publish
ed, would shock men and cause women to
hang their heads in shame. Suffice it to
say that the creatures are in a state of nu-
dity, covered with vermin and unclean rags,
while their bed Is stone floor.
When our charitable institutions, our
civilization and religion permit such sicken-
inc inhumanity they become public curse,
and disgrace to the State and the commu-
nity. Religion is not farce nor philan-
throphy a mockery, and if on Sunday next,
amid the ruStling of fine silks and the dis
play OF cOsLy SCW5dHs, sOIilo SliOi % arc IiOe
made to wipe out this damned spot upon
the cause Of Christianity, it is hoped that
the grand old organs Of each church, moved
by some supernatural inspiration, viii peal
forth melody sweet as angel harps in behalf
of the poor lunaties in the county jail. Ore
of these poor creatures is member Of one
the fashionable churches Of the city. She
is no longer able to pay pew rent it is true;
but if her church forgets her in this dark
hour, fails to cleanse her of her filth and
rags and lice, it were better that the church
that has forsaken her were sunk into the
ground until its steeple should be buried
| beneath the EARTH"

HOwuTERGET TOEEa LOOK.

Very intellectual women are seldom
beautiful; their features and particularly
their foreheads are more or less masculine.
But there are exceptions 70 all rules, and
Miss Landon was an exception to this one.
She was exceedingly feminine and pretty.
Mrs. Stanton likewise is an exceedingly
handsome woman, but Miss Anthony and
Mrs. Livermore are both plain. Maria and
Jane Porter were woman Of high brows and
irregular features as was also Miss Sedg-
wick. Anna Dickinson has strong mas
culine face Kate Field has good looking
though by no means pretty one. and
Mrs. Stowe is thought positively homely.
Alice and Phoebe Cary were plain in fea-
lures, though their sweetness Of disposition
added greatly to their personal appearance
Margaret Fuller had a splendid head, but
her features were irregular and she was
anything but handsome, though sometimes
in the glow Of conversation she appeared
almost radiant. Charlotte Bronte had won
drously beautiful dark-brown eyes, and a
perfectly shaped head. She was small to
diminutiveness, and was as simple in her
manner as a child. Julia Ward Howe is a
fine-looking woman, wearing an aspect OF
grace and a refinement and great force Of
character in her face and carriage. Olive
Logan is anything but handsome in person.
though gay and attractive in conversation.
Laura Holloway resembles Charlotte Bronte
both in personal appearance and in the sad
experiences Of her young life. Neither
Mary Booth nor Marion Harland can lay
claim to handsome faces, though they are
splendid specimens Of cultured women,
while Mary Clemmer Ames is just as pleas
ing in features as her writings are graceful
and popllar.--TRs ReEottdi0R.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The leaders of the

No answer is yet received. They viii
turn out if the answer IS favorable; if not,
they viii postpone till next week.
LATER.-The members Of the. Interna-
tional Society to-day denounced the order
prohibiting their parade tomorrow. They
asked the Governor at Albany by telegraph
if they could parade, but no response had
been received up to tonight. The parade
will probably come off some day next week.
The police are all ordered on duty to-
morrow TO prevent any display or process
sion by the InterDationals. Eight hundred
men win be under orders at headquarters.

Seven new cases Ofsmallpox are reported
since noon on Friday and eight deaths,
making SO cases and IA deaths during the
week.
Hoffman Refuses 90 Interfere.
At meeting of the Internationalists to-
night dispatch was read from Gov. HofE-
man, saying that the law placed the matter
of parade in the hands of the police authori-
ties. The action Of the authorities prohib-
iting the procession was strongly denounc-
ed. There was much discussion about
postponing the day for the parade from
Sunday, as the specific objection Of the Po-
lice Commissioners was on account Of the
day. A motion was carried to have the
parade on Christmas day. Subsequently it
was decided to refer the matter TO the Fed
eral Council for approval.
= Go 1t Alone
One member after delivering violent
denunciatiOn of the police authorities ex-
pressed his determination TO be present to
morrow at the place from which the parade
was to start with his red flag and sash and
march over she route himself.

TEE PAssIVE POLICY.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette (Radical) writes, Dec.
Z, as follows:
"The Democratic Senators, so far as they
viii express their views on this point, seem
to be generally opposed to the passive poll
cy. Several Democratic Congressman,
from Illinois and Indiana, have slate made
up with the names of Greeley and Groes-
beck. Southern Democrats, however, are
dissatisfied with this arrangement, and think
that if such ticket is absolutely necessary, it
would be much better to reverse the names.
There is an immense amount of This kind
of President-making going on here, but it
is without system. The Democrats pro-
pose to hold a caucus, either Just before or
after the recess, in order to discuss the po-
ltieal situation, and agree upon some pro-
gramme for the approaching Presidential
canvass. Those Independent Republican
Senators like Schurz, Sumner, Trumbull,
Upton, Fenton, and Spencer deny the truth
of all stories which either represent them as
being candidates or as scheming for Presi-
dental succession. In this connection it
may be stated that Trumbull denies fatty
the purported interview now going the
rounds of the papers, wherein he is repre-
sented as denouncing all movements to de-
feat Grant. The Senator claims that he
does not belong to that class whose opinions
are so freely given to irresponsible Bohe-
miansn
