The Richmond Wig takes a curious view
of affairs in this city. 1t says: The frauds
to light. and the offenders reached as they
are about to be. but for the uprising of the
Democracy. Had such things been done
under Radical sway, the offenders would
have been screened. A Democratic Judge
granted the injunction against Connolly,
and all the effective blows dealt the plumb
erers have been dealt by Democratic
hands," The Times must feel very sour to
have the Wing 60 back on it after such
fashion. 1t was the World, Star, and Express.

A Russian Dance.

The hardest kind of amusement for fe-
males ever gotten up must be the Russian
peasant dances. Think of q girl going
through long dance without speaking or
smiling. The following is an account of
the dance:
The dancers stand apart-a knot Of young
men here. knot Of maidens there-each
sex by itself, and silent as crowd Of mutes
When the piper breaks into q tune, youth
pulls Of his cap and challenges girl with
a wave and bow. If the girl is willing
she waves her handkerchief in token of as
sent; the youth advances, takes corner Of
the handkerchief in his hand, and leads his
lassie round and round. No word is spoken.
and no laugh is heard. Stiff with cords and
rich with braids, the girl moves heavily by
herself, going round and round, and never
allowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in the
same sad key and measure, and the price of
merit in this ''circling," as the dance is
called, is given by the spectators to the las.
sic, who. in all that summer revelry. has
never spoken and never smiled.

Observation-Disclosures Care.

CHICAGO. October As touching the
virtues of cundureugo for the cure OF can
Ger. the Tribune Of this morning has an
editorial, in which the following facts are
given:
A citizen of Chicago, Of high standing
took his wife, who had been long afflicted
with cancer, to Washington to be treated
by DIR. Bliss. Her case was most serious
one, involving a speedy termination in one
way or the other. She tried the cunduran.
60 remedy and patiently awaited the re-
suit. In less than two weeks the cancer
exhibited alarming signs, threatening her
with death from bleeding. DR.. Bliss could
not account for the change, and an imme-
date operation was resolved upon. The
knife soon explained the condition which
the cancer had assumed. The immense
growth had become entirely separated from
the flesh, but at the same time had pre-
vented the latter from healing, and the flow
of blood was from the unhealed flesh. As
soon as the cancer was removed, the flesh
beneath was found apparently free from
disease. Comparatively little pain resulted
from the operation. The lady rapidly re-
covered her strength. and is now at her
home in this city, not only free from every
sign or symptom Of cancer, but enjoying
degree Of health to which she has been a
stranger for years. The theory is that cum
durango had the effect of uprOOting and
throwing of the cancerous growth which
had attained large proportions.

So long as woman consents to be con-
trolled by a power less virtuous than her
self, evils will exist: so long as woman CON
sents to be the scavenger of the masculine
element. SO long will crime be perpetuated
SO long as she continues to be the mother
Of diseased spiritual and physical organiza-
tons. SO long will she continue to be the
cOmmissariat of hell

,r, The world is oppressed with masculinity.
me masculine element is now the conserve
i've element The mass of men seek to re-
press all high expression of the feminine
!rinciple; they seek to keep alive a condi-
ton that makes the weakness and DEEPEN
dence Of woman keep measured tread with
their own sensuality. Men soil the waters
OF life, then force the generations to drink.

1t is reported that Horace Greeley has
got intO.a muss with Texas editor. It an
pears that in an agricultural essay on tobac-
co. Mr.. Greeley asserts that fne-cut will not
ripen we'll unless the tin-foil is stripped
from the growing buds early in the spring,
and that plug tobacco ought to be knocked
off the trees with clubs, instead of being
picked by hand. This, the Texas editor
says, was nonsense.

The ladies are carrying everything before
them in Australia. In New South Wales
the government has lately officially an
nounced that it will hereafter make no op-
position to ladies operating in the telegraph
Offices. A Melbourne paper says females
are to be employed in the postoffice there,
monopolized by men. The gentler sex are
steadily pushing their way. Opinions may
diter as to the admission Of women to the
learned professions, but certainly there
should be no difference touching their eligi-
bility to handicrafts or light trades they are
fitted for and wish to practice. There is
many post filled by male, especially in
the sales departments Of shops, that might
equally well be occupied by woman, who

The English excise officers are said to be
sharp enough to tell by smelling a mans
breath whether the liquor he has drank has
paid its taxes. The statement is based
upon the circumstance of a man being
found drunk in the streets. with a pint
bottle of whisky in his pocket the liquor
was submitted to the excise authorities, who
never paid duty. The man was prosecuted
