The accident; for for such it was, byy Which woman suffrage became the lawof W yofn- ing happened in this way The President Legislature of Wyomfng stfolled into the office of the Secretary of the Territory one morning in November, 1869, to talk about local politics. Woman suffrage came ipsforits sl1areofRttention. Said the Secretary, who was staunch advo- cate of woman's right:
 TMr. President, do you know you have the greatest opportunity of any man in America to immortalize yourself?''
 "How?" inquired the president
 f'By introducing bill to the council extending the right of suffrage to wo- man," replied the secretary.
 'sBy love! I'll do it if you'll draw up the bill, responded the president.
 ''Agreed," answered the secretary :; and MT. President smiled the quiet smile of satisfaction incident to the birth of a new idea, pulled away at his cigar, strengthened himself and walked to the Council chamber to ponder on his future greatness. The bill was drawn, intro dllced and passed the first reading of the Council more for the novelty and no- toriety than because it's members were in it's favor.Yy ufT XL A / tss1 5
 In the lower house, however, the bill met opposition, and became the subject of earnest dissension on the part of 8 minority! fThe rha3erfty looked upon the whole thing asa joke of theFoAiqline secretary, and we're disposed to 1et him have his fun, lwhh they 1MotiM Iehjoy the big supper promised them by the secretaryA f. they would pass fhe, bill Thus the. bill passed the House, snetsup- posing tie Council would confirm it on did pass pass the bin, whether from indiffer ance or to appear. consistent with its former action it isl impossible. to say, as it is equally impossibfe ton account fol most of the laws passed by this Legisla- tufe on any known hypothesis.

 It only waited now for the Governor IT signature under the great seal of tn, Territory to make this bill 8 law in thu land. In few days the. bill was return ed with his Excellency's familiar O. K. and woman suffrage became both a fac and law in Wyoming.

| E t A Nfw THEoRY. Some spf3 the Flu ropean astrenomers are discussing new and Interesting theory, namely, that auroraF appearance and thes zodiacal lights are in some way conneeted with the phenomena of terrestrial mag netism, Dr. BaIforlr Stewart declares Shat in the anti trade winds he finds 3fe moving conductors required to produce the effect, and suggests that as they, pass, rapidly over the lines of the earth's magnetic force they may be regarded as the ye- hieles of an electric current, possibly to be, lit up as atenuated gases are when they conduct electricity. In this way, he thinks, the phenomenon of the zo- diacal light might be produced. Then, again, these moving currants will react on the magnetism of the earth, which may acconnt for the, somewhat sudden and violent changes that take. place in the earth's magnetism at those seasons WI len the great currents change most rap idly, as for example, theequinoxes. Dr.. s. also intimates that there. may be two varieties of atiroras sone corresponding to stationary conduc tbIs under very rapid ly changing core, and #hes other to rapidly moving oonduoto tors unnder . con- Stant core. sssas.s. ~S~' E@sF
