CATHERINE E. BEEcHEE, having been
told that her name had appeared in some
of the public print, as one who favored
woman suffrage, publishes card in the
New York Tribune, wherein she says ::
"This is not true Of me or Of large
portion Of my family and personal
friends, most of whom would regard
such measure as an act Of injustice and
oppression, forcing conscientious women
to assume the responsibilities Of the civi!
State when they can SO imperfectiy meet
the many and more important duties of
the family state and its connected minis
tries of instruction and benevolence
Will newspaper sditors obligc me and
my friends by giving this an insertion 2

quest, merely remarking that we are not

conscientious, to assume any response

man suffrage ask is that women shall

have the privilege. as they will have
some day, they can suit their own pleas

AMONG the sadde.t things growing
out Of this terrible Franco russian
war are the cases which have come
to light of suicides and attempted
suicides of unsuccessful French com.
manders. OF these the most con-
spicuous are those of General Donay
who, early in the conflict, threw
himself, single. handed, upon the en-.
emy's bayonets, refusing to survive
defeat. Now, Bourbaki, the French.
mans forlorn hope, has, if reports
are correct, attempted to take his
own life because of mortified pride
and aggrieved patriotism. In view
of the Frenchman's proverbial pre-.
dllectlon for self.destruction as a so.
luton of present difficulties, and al.
so Of the French soldiers heightened
gallantry, as celebrated in literature,
1t is almost to be wondered at that,
amid so many defeats, there were not
more Gallo Catos to fall upon their
swords. There is one case in partic.
Mar which would have shone with in.
tense brilllancy upon the record
that of the Emperor Napoleon him.
self, who. AS the Frenchman and the
soldier par excellence, had most splen.
did opportunity to signalize his quail.
tiles by felo de Sc at Sedan. This
ider has occurred to many before, and
Is not by any means suggested now
in any trifing spirit. Nor can we,
of course, commend the practice of
self-murder, even in connection with
the bloody transactions Of war. We
simply say, as matter of fact, ger.
name to the events Of to-day in
France, that Napoleon might, by a
heroic act Of self.immolation at the
head of his troops at Sedan, have Sc
cured what seems to be the darling
object of his life-the retention Of
the imperial crown in his family

The fountain.

The framework of the public fountain. OF
which mention was made some weeks ago
in the REPUBLICAN, has been erected IN the
centre of Canal street, opposite Chartres
and Camp streets. Unfinished as it is, peo-
ple can form an accurate idea OF what this
beautiful work will be when finished. We
have already noticed this fountain at some
length, and we will not attempt at this time
to repeat our description further than to re-
mind our readers that the work originated
with Mr. Belknap, and that the iron work
OF the structure has been cast at the foundry
Of Mr.. George Cronan, on Magnolia street.
The public of Orleans are greatly indebted
u Mr.. Belknap for the enterprise, and TO
Mr.. Cronan for his public spirit in under
taking this work, not for profit, but as
means of improving and identifying the

of attending the door was assigned to ALI
Sin. Accustomed to the social usaSes OF his
own land, where a visitors rank Is indl-
Gated by the size of the card, and where
huge yellow one meant the presence of a

board with contempt. While nodding his
head and tossing the bits OF paper uncere-
moniously into the basket, the gas collector
happened to present his bill. The long
yellow slip took All Sin. With profound
salaams he bowed the astonished gas man
into the presence of the amazed family.

A Maine paper looks forward hopefully to
the time when the merchant shall feel more
pride in meeting his obligations than in
building palaces upon the profits of ,insol-
vency; the employee find himself gauged in
society by his character rather than his
clothes, the women Of the nation refuse to
bend in servile contorton at the fiat of a
ridiculous fashion, and every lady consult
the rules of taste and comeliness in the dis
position of her browning glory, so that
