MARRIAGE AND MATRIMoNY.-In recent
lecture at San Francisco, Mrs. Stanton, the
talented wonan's rights advocate, said:
The idea that women are weak inherently,
is a grand mistake. She is phyically weak,
because she neglects her health, because she
violates every law Of her nature and her
God, because she dresses in way that would
kill 4 man. feel it 10 be my mission to
advise every mother to bring up her daughter
without breaking her up in doing SO. Our
female idea of dress is all wrong. My girl
hood was spent mostly in The open aif.
early imbibed the idea that girl was as good
as boy, and carried 1t out. would walk
five miles before breakfast, or ride ten OH
horseback. After married wore MY cloth
ing sensibly. | never compressed my body
out of its natural shape. Ny first four chill
tlren were born and | suffered very little
then made up my mind that it was totally,
unnecessary for me TO suffer at all, SO
dressed lightly, walked every day. lived as
much as possible in the open air. ate no con-
diments or spices. kept quiet, listened to
music, looked at pictures, read poetry. The
night before the birth of the fifth child
walked three miles. The child was born
without particle ef pain. bathed 1t, and
it weighed ten anil 4 half pounds The
same day dined with the family. Every
body said wonld surely die, but never had
4 relapse or moments Inconvenience.
The Chicago Journal of the 18th says: ea
Various estimates have been made of the
total loss by the Great Fire, ranging all the
way from 10000, 900 to $3.50, ,00O, 900. Prob.
ably the former figures win cover all the
losses.
The number of acres actually burnt over is
about 2, 2,5O0-all of which were covered with
buildings comprising the most compact and
thickly inhabited part OF the city. and the
great bulk OF it's business and substance.
About 10000 buildings were burned, about
one-fourth of which were of stone or brick,
and some OF them the finest business editices
in the United States. 3..
y II Is now believed that the actual loss Of
life will exceed 800. Over 100 dead bodies
have already been found.

THE ELECTION TOMORROW.

On tomorrow the people of Shelby
county will vote for or against a county
Endorsement of the Memphis and Raj
eigh railroad bonds to the amount Of
fifty thousand dollars, We fail to ap-
precate some of the reasons given by
some persons for opposing the measure.
One of them, and thought to be conclu-
sive, is, that the road would not bring
any trade to Memphis that will not
come here in any event. For the sake
of the argument, let us admit this to be
true. Is it not an objection purely sell
fish? Is the county entitled to no facili-
ties, no favors, no courtesies, because
they will not benefit Memphis? Must
there be no improvements requiring the
cooperation of the county and for the
benefit of the people unless it can be
shown that they will benefit Memphis
Directly We do not believe that the
voters of this city will allow such view
of the matter to influence their action.
1t would establish dangerous prece-
dent. The people of the country are
frequently asked to vote subscriptions
etc. They have voted many They
have had the prosperity of the city
at heart. They are proud of it,
and will do all in their power
to promote its progress. But it,
wher they ask a little favor, and one
that will not cost the county or city one
cent, they are refused, because it will not
specially benefit the city, they may re-
member the circumstance when they are
called upon to vote for some great mea-
sure for the benefit Of the city. The
people of the country want the Raleigh
railroad. The people of the city want
it. 1t is as necessary to the pleasure
and convenience of the people as a good
street is Raleigh has become suburb
of the city. 1t is luxurious breathing
place in summer, and refuge for the
people from the cares Of the week. The
county Is asked to indorse the bonds of
the company. That is all. The COM
pany has more than twenty thousand
dollars worth of lands and a good sub
scription of some thirty thousand dol |
lars. This will be ample security against
possible loss on the part of the county.
We shall not enumerate the benefits this
road would confer on the city. People
understand them, and will, no doubt,
vote the Endorsement by large majority.

NEW YORK, November l0.-Thomas
C. Fields assemblyman elect, the OPP
ponent of Horatio Seymour in the
recent election, was arrested yesterday,
on warrants charging him with fraudu-
lently obtaining upward Of forty-hve
thousand dollars from the city treasury,
in payment of certain claims brought by
him in behalf Of the members of the old
volunteer FIRE department. de was adj
mitted to bail in the sum OF ten thousand
dollars, his sureties qualifying for dou-
BILE the amount.
It is stated that VIM. NJ. Tweed has no
intention of resigning his place as Com
missioner ON the Board Of Public Works
or as Senator. 1t is understood, how
ever, that he will take no leading part at
present in the Democratic political Or
ganization.
Governor Hoffman is still in town. 1t
is reported that he had an interview with
Horace Greeley yesterday.
There is some talk of the formation of
new party against Grant, to be formed
of his opponents in the Republican
party and the disorganized Democrats.
The idea is considered a good one, and
many prominent Democrats here believe
Greeley will help it.
The arrival of the Grand Duke is now
looked for at any moment. Assuming
that the Russian fleet sailed from Funi-
chal on the llth of October, twenty-nine
days have elapsed, which would be ample
time for the voyage to New York. As
the feet has probably taken the south
ern course to secure the northeast trade
winds, it is thought that the heavy
weather prevalent in higher latitude
may not have been encountered, and
that the voyage will not be prolonged
beyond the usual length. The U. S.
feet still lies at anchor in the lower
bay.
There was large attendance at Fleet
wood Park yesterday to witness the trot
between Honest Allen and running
mate against Kingston and running
mate, which had been postponed since
Wednesday. Kingston won two and
Honest Allen one of four heats, the
third having been decided dead heat.
Honest Allen and mate won the fifth
and sixth heats and the race, both heats
having been very closely contested, and
the trotting at the time was surprisingly
fast.

his grounds much damage was done by
them.
Believing that il was the conclusion on
the atmosphere by the passage of the
train that caused this, he concluded that
he would see what conclusion would do
If practiced on large scale. Conse-
quently he placed two pounds Of powder
in a hollow, live oak stump, and put fuse
and FIRE to it in the calmest portion of
the night, The result was there were no
more insects to be found and no more
depredations committed by them in his
orchard, He claims that it killed every
eurculio. More than this, Mr.. Hardes
says that his trees and grape vines
sprang into new vigor, the like Of which
he never saw before. When tried at
night, the atmosphere being dense and
in calm, it is destructive, too, to the
caterpillar. He regards it, furthermore,
the greatest purifier of the atmosphere,
destroying the animalcule in it, thus re-
moving the exciting cause of yellow fe-
yer, cholera, etc. "
