THE WOMAN WHO VOTES.
How Mrs. Gardner Drove Up and De-
posted Her Ballot.

Our readers will remember the little
scrmmage which the board of registration
had week ago on the question OF allowing
the registry of women. The name OF Mrs.
Nanette b. Gardner had been put on the
list in the first precinct of the ninth ward,
and an effort was made in the board to have
it struck off, but the effort was unsuc-
cessful.
Yesterday Mrs. Gardner voted. She
came to the polls in a carriage, accompanied
by her little son and two ladies. She
offered her vote, and the inspectors of cleo
lions decided to accept. The inspectors
were Aid. Hill, B. G. Durfee and w. S.
Bond Mr.. Bond protested against the
vote being received, but the other inspectors
declared in favor of receiving it, and it was
accordingly deposited in the ballot box.
There were but very few persons around
the polls at the time, and the affair seemed
to create no excitement.
After her vote had been accepted, Mrs.
Gardner presented to the Board OF Inspect
ors a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a china
vase, and also handed in large and elabor-
ate device representing the capitol of our
nation, with crowds of joyous and cheering
men on its steps with streams of light pour
ing in upon them. In the centre of the pic
ture was an arch inscribed Liberty" upon
which was perched an eagle. The gates
were thrown wide open by Columbia and
the Goddess of Justice. A large crowd of
women, all in darkness except the front one,
were just ready to pass the portals. The
leader held in her hands a scroll labeled
"The Fourteenth Amendment" which she
was presenting to Columbia. In tine corner
at the right were imps of darkness represent
ing war, vice, etc. and barrels of whisky
were being rolled into the darkness Black
clouds covered the whole of the picture,
except the illuminated capitol and fire
ground.
Underneath was the following verse.
ave come, free America We millions strong;
In darkness and bondage for many years long
We've marched in deep silence, but new unrOll
The Fourteenth Amendment, which gives us soul.
Glory, glory hallelujah, as go marching on"
CoLUNBTA-" Welcome, beloved daughters,
Take your places beside my sons"
After depOsiting her vote, Mrs Gardner
re entered her carriage and returned home.
As before stated, she is widow and quite
heavy taxpayer in the ward, and she
claims the ballot in justice as well as by
law. She insists on her right TO vote under
the Fourteenth Amendment to the COnstitu-
ton of the United States.-DetrOtt Post.

The Disaster at HaIloweu.

The Ksnnebec Journal furnishes long &C.
count of the disaster, by the flood, on Tues
day, at Hallowell. 1t appears that the Vaughan

three or four acres. The reservoir dam was
built at tue upper end of deep defile, not un-
like mountain gorge, known as the Vaughan
Brook, and stretched from bank to bank, .
distance of about two hundred feet; it was
constructed of stone many years ago, and
from time to time has received additions, until
aus perpendicular height was between fifteen

THE SITUATION IN PARIs.-Affairs continue
quiet in Paris Battalions of Nationals are

are stopped. Cannon threaten Rue de Ia Paix,

along the Bouvelard Montmartre are discus

All of the principal officers of the Imperial
army have returned to France from imprison-
ment in Germeny, and are without exception

The National GUARDS ON Tuesday re-instat-
ed the Mayor of the 9th ACCOMPLISHMENT who
had been expelled from office by the insur-
gents. The insurgent central committee has
decided to disarm the Nationals of the Quar-
gent Nationals attempted to surprise the 18th
battalion occupying the Place de la Bourse,
but were unsuccessful. Many battalions Of
the National Guards are being armed for the
preservation of order.
A later circular from the executive to the
projects of departments states that order is
gradually being restored in Paris. The signif
cant demonstration made by the well disposed
citizens of Paris Tuesday has had beneficial
effect. The assembly has voted unanimously
dignified proclamation to the people,
Marshal Canrobert has made advances te
President Theirs which are well received.
About seven o'clock an outbreak occurred in
the Place Vendome and an order was given to
the National Guards to clear the place. The
people refused to leave, and the Guards fired,
killing five and weunding many Others. This
firing was successful in clearing the Place Ven
dome, and as many of the crowd were insur-
gents with Chassepot rifles in their hands
their indisposition to return the fire was re.
garded as very significant Paris has, howev.

competent leaders among the insurgents in.

are not supported.

The PLANT OF A MAINE DEMOCRAT
A Maine correspondent of the Norfolk Jour-
nal, Democratic paper, trusting that dis
lance may give his misstatements exemption
from danger of contradiction, takes the most
gloomy view of the condition of things in this
State, due to Radical rule" of course. This
Jeremiah of ouls rather gives the impression
to bis Virginia sympatbizers that Maine is
now chiefly desert waste, and that Peol
Sockabasin or some other aboriginal genius
will soon be found sitting on the steps of the
debris of the Augusta House, sketcning the
ruins of the capitol. There is undoubtedly
kome distress in Maine at the present time,
but there is as little as at any period since it
became State and as little, we believe, as in
any State in the Union.

ALTHOUGH Boston rogues have borrowed
the ideO from the rival city of New York, they
play the last shrewd trick ofSwholesaeIroguery
very nicely. 1t was once regarded "the thing"
among the fraternity to smuggle case of val
uables from unsuspecting teamsters employed
to deliver them at some steamboat or railroad
station but now the science has been advanced
step, and not only the goods, but the team is
gobbed up by the rogues. This is the way it
was done in Boston Wednesday. A teamster,
on his way to the Philadelphia steamer with
packages OF valuable goods intended for mer-
chants in the latter city, was accosted by gem
tlemanly looking man with soiled hands. on
Devonshre street, near the Buston Post build
ing, who said he desired the teamster to take
bundle for the same boat The time for having
the goods received at the wharf was short and
the teamster was in hurry; nevertheless, he
granted tine request of his customer, and went
to help him bring the bundle, which was "too
heavy for one to bring.'' Up one, two, three
flights of stairs the two went, until they reach
the fooraof the Post editorial rooms. swat

should be late for the boat, the driver descend
to the street. where he had left his team 1t
was gone. The man with the dirty hands was
gone, too. The driver thinks they went away
together. The police were notified, and they
are even now searching for a missing team,
