Sex Politics.

The Nation raises the practical and
material point that men and women are
incapable of cooperating wisely in any
governmental or business enterprise
whatever, owing to the strength Of the
sexual influence. Itsupposes that there
are no men living who can treat women
as they would men, and no women who
can treat men as they do each other
The law of sexual attraction may be
kept under every restraint called for by
the strietest morality or most refined
purity; but it always acts. It is never
absent, even from the slightest contact
of the sexes-not from the passing and
respectful glance between strangers on
the street or in a crowded audience; not
even from the reading by a man of a
woman's book. It imparts a more gen
uine homage to the bow with which two
friends of differing sex, salute each 9TH
er on the-street. 1t imparts its electric
ity to the nerves as they touch each
others hands in salutation, aud kindles
a special vivacity in the brain as they
engage in conversation. These mani
festations may only make themselves
sensibly felt between persons Of sufi-
GENTLY like station, in intellect and
character; but even toward persons Of
the other sex who are furtherest re-
moved from any such suggestion, there
is a wholly undefnable influence, in
either sex which the other can never
forget or ignore"

Wendell Phillips on the Ku
AIuX.

When was in Washington about two
months ago, had it from an authority
inside the Ku Klux Klan-one who had
a right to spesk-that their organiza-
ton was so perfect, there could not be
one crime committed in any single
Southern State, where, If the govern
ment trusted to its punishment by the
tribunal of a jury, that organization, a
secret association, was not powerful
enough to pack the jury and secure an
aequittal. So that this largely-spread
and deeply-rooted secret organization
can utterly defeat and defy civil law
And the moral which these repentant
lips drew for me, from his own actual
experience, was; ''If you can do moth
ing with us>exeept by a Judge on the
bench, and twelve jurymen in a box,
the effort is absolutely contemptible.-
We can sweep the States in utter def
ance of the State government, if that is
the aim Of your method"
Now believe that you will find that
the evidence before the Senate Commit
tee amply supports these statements,
and that unless President Grant has
made up his mind to stretch the long
arm of his new power into the centre of
the rebel States, and strangle this rebel
lion of assassins, he viii never have

Womnntn Demand.

The cry which has been going up
in the far West for more women has
now been taken upby California.
The men are largely in excess there,
and are depending upon their own
efforts and the Cinnamon to get
through the burdens of cooking and
washing. They no doubt appreci,
ate fully the difficulties of "woman's
work" and are prepared to make
good husbands. With all their eff
forts to keep clean they do not sue
ceed and are in danger of becoming
de-humanized through the lack of
women's society. Bret Harte, in
his "Luck of Roaring Camp" has
shown the humanizing effect Of a
baby left to the care of a camp of
miners. If such a homeopathic
quantity of innocence and depend
ence as that can soften whole
camp, what would be the effect Of a
number of women, with a possibiH-
ty of one of these little sOfteners in
every cabin. But it is not only the
miners who want wives.

THE RETURN OF THE BIRDS.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Ihear, from many little throat,
Warble interrupted long;
I hear the robins aute.like note,
The blus-bird's slender song.
Brown meadows and the russst hill,
Not yet she hauntS Of grazing herds,
And thicksts by the glimmsring rill
Are sll alive with birds.
o, Choir Of Spring, why come 50 soon
On lsafsss grove with the blest lawn
Warm lie the yellow beams of noon;
Yet winter is not gone.
For froats shall sheet the pools again,
Again tho clustering blast shall blow,
Whirl a white tempest through the glss,
And load tue pines with snow.
Yet haply, from the regieu where,
Walked by an earlier Spring than here,
The blossomed wild plum SC, ,nts the air,
Ye come in haste and fear.
For there Is heard the bugIe-bIast,
The booming gun, the jarring dun,
Aud on their chargers, spurring fass,
Armed warriors 20 and come.
There mighty hosts have pitched the camp
In valleys that we're oHrs till then,
And earth has shuddsred to the tramp
Of half a million men.
In groves where once We used TO sing,
In orchards where you had your birth,
A Thousand glittering axes swing
To smite the trees to earth.
Wslove the fields by plowman trod,
But there when sprouts the beechsn spray,
The soldier only breaks the sod,
To hide the slain away.
Stay then beneath our ruder sky;
Heed not the storm cloud rising black,
Nor yelling winds that with them fyl
Nor let them fright you back
Back to the stihing battle cloud,
To burning towns that blot the day,
And trains Of mounting dust that shroud
The armies on their way.
Stay, for tint Of green shall creep,
Soon Ger the orchards grassy floor,
And from it's bed iis crocus peep
Beside the housewives door.
Here build and dread no harsher ssnnd,
To scare you from the sheltering tree,
Than winds that stir the branches round,
And murmur to the bee.
And we will pray, that, ere again
The flowers Of autumn bloom and die,
Our generals aud their strong armed men
May lay their weapons by.
Then may ye warble, uuafraid,
Where hauds, that wear the fetter now,
Free as your wings shall ply the spade,
And guide the peaceful plow.
Then as our conqusring hosts return,
What shouts Of jubilee shall break
From placid vale and mountain stern
And shore and mighty lake
And midland, plain and ocean strand
Shall thunder, "Glory to the brave,
Peace to the torn and bleeding land,
And freedom to the slavel''

The Democratic Ku KIux.

Democratic editors are quite fond of
quoting Don Piatt, from the Cincinnati
Commercial. Suppose they quote this
from one of Don's late letters:
"At the South are to be found after
all the best friends of the Republican
party, and the deadliest enemies to
Democratic success. They go about in
large numbers, with masks upon their
faces, with long robes over their dresses,
shooting negroes and whipping white
men. They call themselves Ku Klux,
which, suppose, is the Southern dialect
for Democracy misnomer, for they
are killing the Democratic party as
rapidly and effectually as possible. 1t
is all very we'll for the Democratic party
at the North to swear vociferously that
no such things exist, but while judges
are murdered upon the bench III open
court, and churches and school hOus es
are burned, and poor creatures driven
like frightened animals from their
homes, it is very stupid to be bawling
night and day that these are Radical
lies and foul SANDERS"

Sir Iohn ETerscIloI.

This distinguished English astrono-
mer, died recently in London at the ad
vanced age of eighty-One. His precep-
tors in the astronomical science were
his father, Sir William Herschel, and
his aunt, Caroline Herschel. He be-
gan his studies in 1922, and for some
time worked with Sir James South in
re-examining the nebulae and clusters Of
stars described in his fathers catalogues.
He discovered between three and four
thousand clusters and double stars not
noticed by his father From 1884 to
1888 he.was at the Cape of Good Hope
examining the stars of the South Heav-
ems. He was author Of a number of
valuable astronomical works.

From the Richmond Enquirer.
Insanity Cured by a Surgical
Operation.

Operation.
Some months ago a cOlored man
named Tyler was brought to the
Central Lunatic Asylum, suffering
from insanity of the most furious
and dangerous character, resulting
from the kick of horse, which
crushed the skull and pushed down
u large piece Of bone upon the brain.
His condition required the severest
restraint, and twas found necessary
to confue him to a close cell, and to
keep him in handouts, and even
then he found opportunities to at
tack his attendants. DR.. Conrad,
the Superintendent, then called the
attention of DIR. Hunter Mcclure to
the case, and DIR. Meg, after an
examination, determined to attempt
to remove the bone, which was press
ing upon and into the brain. The
operation was successfully perform
ed, and a piece two and a half inches
long and one inch wide was remov-
ed. This was three months ago, and
though previous to the time the
patient had been constantly having
epileptic fits, and as many as three
or four per day, he has wholly re,
covered from them. There is no in
sanity, and though the mind is con-
siderably enfeebled, its power is fast
returning. The wound caused by
the surgical operation was healed up,
and the man is walking about with
out restraint, and promises to get
entirely we'll. He has no recOllec
ton of what has occurred during the
seven years-the period of his insau-
ity being an entire blank in
his memory. The case is an ex-
eeedingly interesting one to surgeons
and physicians, and the cure-for it
is now safe to characterize it as a
cure-is one of the most remarkable
ones on record.
