lieve In promiscuous intercourse for
the sexes?" l reply, I don't believe
anything about 1t, l know that 1t exists
to an alarming extent; and more, l
know that a great many of those sdi-
tors who write me down are among Its
best representatives. But If you ask
mo II I believe such a condition a high
one, 1 will say | think It to be that
which the Times calls "~nastlness." 1
hope It does not Wow my doctrines
through colored glasses. l believe
promiscuity to be anarchy, and the
very antithesis Of that for which I
aspire. / know that there are all de-
grees Of lust and love from tho lowest
to the highest. But I believe the high
est sexual relations are those that are
monogamic, and that those are high
and spiritual In proportion as they are
continuous. But I protest, and 1 be-
lieye every woman who has purity In
her soul protests, against all laws that
would compel them to maintain rela-
tions with men for whom they have no
regard. I honor that purity Of life
which comes from the heart, while l
pity tho woman who Ia pure simply
because the law makes her So. II to
hold and practice such doctrines as
these Is to be Free Lover, then I am
a Free Lover.

Reporters ia Church.

The Now York correspondent of the
Boston Post writes concerning the re-
porters In Beecher's church as follows:
Just underneath the platform are the
reporters tables, an innovation I'M
known as yet in any other church.
The smallest Of these tables, at the
right Of tho platform, Is for the exclu-
siye use-of the shorthand reporter who
is employed to take the sermon for Mr..
Beecher's own paper, tho Chrfstidn
linton :; at the table on the left, four
Others are seated, while the table In
the center Is sacred to the feminine
members Of the profession. At the
table sits Eleanor Kirk, who "does"
Beecher for tile Standard; blue-eyed,
delicatk, and slight, dressed In black
Grape cashmere, with an India shawl
carelessly drawn over her shoulders,
and a black and white bonnet set OH
the brown hair, through whose brown,
threads of silver run; by her side Is
her sister Rebecca Easterbrook, who,
early In her Juveniles, Is winning for
herself an enviable reputation In Jour-
nplism /; taller than Mrs. Kirk, she has
the same blue eyes and intonse face,
crowned with short, curly, brown hair.
Between the two, sitting a little back
from the table, and busy with note
book and pencil, is Carrie lie Row, q
Boston girl by birth and education,
who to her duties as professor Of elocu.
ton at Vassar College, adds those Of
lecturer and journalist. Bright, spark:
ling, and vivacious, she Is a marked
contrast to Mrs. Mary Butts-cool,
self.possessed and quiet, the only wo-
man In the employ Of the Herald. who
sits opposite to her and watches the in
coming congregation, waiting Tor n
work. There Is a world OF ability I'M
der that white chip bonnet, with Its
bands OF black velvet, and plenty Of
force under the quiet and somewhat
passive face.

IT Is the opinion Of the Philadelphia

ginians will not despise "the lean,
cadaverous Yankee" Perhaps, after
all, even the present generttion does
not "despise" the men of New Eng
land, however they may have been
trained by their old politicians to an
inheritance OF hatred. Moreover, we
assert with no fear at all Of intelligent
contradiction, that the Yankees are no
leaner. and not a shade more tea
daverous," than hundreds upon hun
dreds Of demonstrating Virginians.
The traditional stage Yankee-expec-
torating, shuthlng, drawing and nasal
exists nowhere except in the theatre.
The lingo spoken by the comedians In
Yankee parts, as they are called, Is
spoken by nobody else. II a Yankee,
