then 60 to the Senate. The House adopted by
a party vote, resolution endorsing the 18th

American residents have had cause to speak
In terms of the highest praise of Minister
Washburne's Kindness and consideration
When all intercourse with the outer world
was at an end, he showed care and an inter-
est in their welfare which is rarely evinced by
foreign representatives Of the nation. The
labors Of his secretaries have been endless in
forwarding letters, which were received each
Monday morning through the Prussian lines
to the American residents in the beleaeured
city. Unlike the British ambassador, he re.

A STPAw.-DuriDg The late session of tEt
Legislature, says the Somerset Reporter, q
certain member made himself conspicuous fol
his remorseless attacks on Eaton Shaw and
the State Agency. He often referred to bin
- the "Rum Moloch." Now it turns out that
that this member is interested in store Of
which the proprietor is member of his
family and town agent. Rumor hath it that
the remedial fluid" was most freely sold.
But poorer article would do and afford a
greater profit. But low to get it? Great
minds are rich in expedients on momentous
occasions. All the tags we've taken from the
casks and barrels from the State Agency and
put upon lot of ''fire water" purchased in
Boston and shipped. All went lovely until
the lot arrived at certain place, when a visi-
liant officer saw it, noticed the quccrness Of
the thing, telegraphed to Mr.. Shaw to learn if
he had shipped certain parties liquors direct
from Boston, got the answer "No," where
upon the lot was seized. 1t is quite probable
that this little mishap accounts for quite a
quantity of denunciation.

HAvERHIIL. March IL. 1871



To the Editor of the Press .,,,s,es
Business has been very dull in this State The
past winter. There is hardly factory that
has been running to its full extent, and the
universal complaint is the scarcity of money
The winter has been unusually open, there

that very poor; and the stable keepers have
suffered in consequence.
With returning spring the shoe business

taken new start, and many that have been

LUCILLE WESTERN, in the Herald, goes for a

The doctor, it seems, recently made a speech
on woman's rights. 1.-THE fast young men," he
said, "wbo ride on the Harlem road with Luz
ellie Weston on one side and Lydia Thompson
on the other are the men who keep the opin-
ion afoat that it is .unwomanly for women to
work." Miss Western says, drawing the uu-
pleasant conclusion from tt is extract, that the
doctor is contemplate slanderer; that a
harder worked woman than herself never ex-
listed; that II never was seen on tho Harlem
road in the company of any man or woman,
eave that of q member of my own family; that
I am not dependent upon fast men, nor upon
the efforts of any individual in this ", rid
(save those of my mother and myself) foi what
ever position may now occupy in The profess
ion (se honorable an one as any under the sun)
Of which I am proud to be M. mber; and
that, 10 thus using my name, he has uttered
waDt0D, malignant falsehcOd. As to Miss
Thompson, have not the pleasure of that Ia
dy's Acquaintance, but, judging from the tenor
of the learned doctors speech, should imagine
her to be a far more brilliant and useful orna-
ment to society than is one who will make a
malicious and cowardly attack upon woman
because he believes her to be defence less.
