rus MERCHANT GRAND DUKES or RHODE ISLAND.
Probably no State in the Union is relatively
as prosperous as this little State Of Rhode Island
Among other features Of its Importance are its
wealthy residents who own lands, and ware
houses, AMI whose capitsl and minds direct in
dustries in other parts ofthe country. The mum
Der of these is quite remarkable. The two great
ett in the state as is well known, are the wealthy
rival houses Of A. & W. Spr4gle snI Brown *
Ives. Their investments are made in nearly
every State in the Union. Their wealth ID so
great thst no one, not even themselves, can state
it with exactness. The house Of Sprsgue has IFS
money invested in mercantile speculauous The
house Of Brown 81 Ives has its capital in landed
estate. Providence lays claim 10 both firms,
fights their battles, eud receives the benefit de
rived from handling their capital The princi-
pals Of the houses have not forgotten their late
teud and the siherents Of each still keep the
embers Of discori brightly glowing.

large mule and OK teamsh heavily laden
with merchandise have departed daily

THE ULTIkATUM-THE BALLOT
AGAINST THE BABIES.

Divers and extraordinary have been
heads of the f~ractionary portion of
womankind who delight in a grand
parade on the public stage. and who
find their most exquisite pleasure in
the PRONUNCIATION of pronunciamen-
toes against the present gracelcSs con-
dition Of society; but one of the latest
of these deserves to take precedence
over any hitherto devised. We find
it limited at strongly in the following
paragraph from Woodruff Il Clatfin's
Weekly, the leading organ of the NO-
men S~uffragists. Under the head of
IAN Efiectual Remedy" Mrs. Wood
hull criticiSes the speech of a Mrs.
Livermore, who announced that Il
more grand men would be born until
women have their rights etc. The
Weekly says:
desperate diseases require despera e
remedies, and we have no objection
that the American Women'S Suffrage
society shall lead one branch OF the
grand army battling for human rights
with banners inscribed: NO more
| babies until all mothers and daugh-
tiers stand equal i'll law and i'll fact"
Just think OF it! y separate govern
ment and no more babies. or what Is
worse, oniva poor article. This snack>
not so much of free love as no love at
all. We congratulate our friends on
the adoption Of a remedy 50 powerful,
and i'll vi soul recognize the justice
Of saving to the whole brood of tV-
rants, get out of our presence until
you are willing to give us Il rights.
This ought, indeed, 10 be IAN et1ec-
tual remedy if there are any to be
had, at least against that portion OF
the community supposed to be the
most interested in the production OF
progeny. NO more babies, or at the
most only 4 poor article! this or the
ballot. If Mrs. Livermore, or Mrs.
Woodruff can persuade her friends to
adhere to that rule, their success will
be insured. If that does not fetch
cause is hopeless. As a punishment
to the "tyrants" the torture would be
exquisite. What effect it would have
on these ambitious females themselves
it would be difficult TO determine.
Judging from the testimony of Mrs.
Woodhull's mother recently. before
the Police Court of New York, the
punishment might be as difficult to
intict as il would be for 1.-The tyrants''
to endure.
