INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

The benefcent principle of Interna-
tional Arbitration has been again exem-
pliiied in the San Juan Boundary deeis-
ion just made in our favor by the Emperor
ofGermany. Our Minister, Mr., Bancroft,
has written letter of acknowledgment
to the Emperor William, in which he is
charged by the President of the United
States, In the name Of the American
people, to thank His Majesty for the
great pains he has taken, and the at
tention which he has devoted to the case
growing out of the dispute between
Great Britain and the United States in
regard to the northwestern boundary.
The letter closes with the assurance of
continued friendship and good will be-
tween the United States and Germany.
II the Administration had no other
claim upon the support of women, the
establishment of the principle of Inter
national Arbitration would suffice.

FALL BONNETS.-The beauty of fall
bonnets consists in their rich fabrics,
eXquisitely combined colOrs, their tinted
feathers, bronzed leaves, and fine laces.
OF their Heterogeneous shapes there is
little to be said; they are simply carica-
lures, and leading milliners say they
must be greatly modified to make them
popular. The most conspicuous change
is in the way the bonnet is to be worn.
The head-covering, whether bonnet or
hat, is to be placed far back on the CHG
non, leaving the forehead and frizzled
front hair quite uncOvered-a fashion
that milliners say is generally unbecOm-
ing. High reverse cOrOnets are on
almost all bOnnets, and capes are scarce
ly seen at all. Long ends and loops of
ribbon and lace, three or four of each,
hang from the back of the bonnet low
down on the shoulders. a folded band
encircles the crown, and the left side is
the base from which spring trimmings
that pass directly across the crown.
These trimmings are usually two long,
wide loops laid upward on the crown, a
sharp pointed wing (blue-green wings
are most used, and two ostrich tips that
curl over the top to the right side, and
give additional height to the crown. A
jet ornament is on the right side, and
sometimes q Jet bandeau is in front.
BOnnets and round hats are trimmed
similarly; their only difference exists in
the strings, and these are often omitted
from the new sailor bonnet.

A MIRACLE IN ALSACE.-A recent
miracle monger in the provence of
Alsace has come to grief, and nearly
lost his life in a singular manner. The
Jesuits, furious at their expulsion from
Germany, resort to all sorts of devices
to persuade the ignorant that their enc
mics are threatened with the wrath of
Heaven. For some days, shortly after
sunset, phantom bearing a white flag
appeared in the village of Chantenois,
near Strasburg. The rumOr ran that
the ghOstly visitor was the Virgin Mary,
who had come to rouse the people to
fight for the Jesuits. So great was the
excitement that detachment of dra-
gOons was dispatched from Strasburg to
occupy Chantenois. The Virgin, never
theless, appeared at the usual time, but
matter-of-fact German sentry chal-
lenged the apparatiOn, anu receiving no
answer, after three ''sOmmatiOns." fired
upon it. He brought down his game,
and instead of ghost it proved to be a
very fat cure. The ecclesiastic, roaring
Justify from q painful wonnd, was put
into a cart and carried off to Strasburg
hospital. Three other priests, suspected
to be his aceompliees, were resubsequently
arrested.

THEY HAVE THEIR RIGHTS.-We
announced yesterday that several wom-
en-, among them Susan B. Anthony,
were permitted to vote at Rochester,
New York. In the Seventeenth ward
of New York city the same result was
and doubtless at other pre-
cinets in the country the privilege was
also accorded. Without doubt this Is
the entering wedge of n finally success
full movement in the direction of wOm-
ans suffrage. Whether it will come as
the result of the final adjudication of
the terms of the Fourteenth Amend
ment, depends upon the Supreme Court,
to which the question has not yet been
submitted. Several subordinate tTibun-
nails have, however, determined the
question affirmatively, and so long as
there appears a clear chance of final sue
cess, the day is not distant when some
party casting about for strength will
strike hands with the leaders of the
movement, and ere we are aware we
shall find the ballot the common herit-
age of citizenship, without regard to sex
color, condition, or race.
The following is the amendment tC
the Constitution under which Miss An.
thony and her friends yesterday exer
cised the right of suffrage:
"All persons born or naturalized il
the United States and subject to the ju
risdiction thereof, are citizens. NJ
State shall make or enforce any Law
which shall abridge the privileges o.
immunities of citizens of the UniteC
States"

LAST HOURS OF WIN. H. SEWARD.
Stewards intellectual faculties were clear
and vigorous to the last, save when he
was disturbed by paroxysms of fever.
A few hours before his death he was at
his own desire placed on lounge and
hOlstered up and moved from his adioin-
ing bedroom into his study, where, in
the midst of his books and his literary
and other papers, and surrounded by his
relatives and few friends, and ali his
devoted dependents, he breathed his
last. For the last hours of his life, as
the powers Of nature were giving way,
his condition became easy, and he spent
the time in affectiOnate leave-taklng oi
relatives and friends, and finally sank
quietly to his last rest as If going 70

As there were several errors in this poem las
week, it is re-publshed--ED.
The signing, sobbing sad south wind
Plays on my peaceful, placid brow,
As DER the dim and distant days
OF years OF yore linger now.
The pitiless and pelting rain
Drips from the dark and dingy caves,
And, plashing in the puddles, plays
At hide and hunt with homeless leaves.
A red-brown robin bows beneath
The graSs-grown ground sill OF my door,
But sings no more his low, sweet song
OfshImmering sunshine as ofyore.
The barn-yard brutes the burdened day
Endure, as down the drowsy west
The sombre sun, with face unseen,
Sinks slowly to his saddened rest.
A hurried horseman halls beside
The sodden stIleand shakes his cloak,
Dismounts and throws the tangled rein
Around a drenched and dropping oak.
The chickens cackle at the crows;
The crows cav round the gabbling geese;
A bleating lambkin blunders by
His half-drowned dam with dripping fleece.
Indoors the deepening darkness drags
Its lazy length along the wall,
While glimmering CLEANS OF glowering glare
Gloom through the lamp-lIght in the hall.
Grim blackness broods about my bed,
And settles in tine silent air;
I slam the shutters in the gloam,
And cuddle in my coy chair.
Sweet silence soOthes the sad south wind,
And lulls 10 sleep the sobbing storm
Ny lone heart yearns for years OF yore
And many a merry-making form.
And as they fit before my face,
The dear, dead darlings OF the past,
The sad south wind a solace sings
That promises sweet peace at last.

SUSAN B. ANTHoNY.-We heartily
thank our cotempOrary, the Bee, in last
TUESDAYS issue, for the kind and en-
eouraging words with the important in
formation given of the arrest of Susan
b. Anthony, and some dozen other
women, for voting in Rochester, y. V,
at our late Presidential election. Our
noble and brave sister Susan was among
the first to don the armor of warfare in
this battle of freedom against oppression,
and she will be last to doff it until vic
tory has been gained; involuntary, even
gladly placing herself in the breach,
filling up the chasm, so that her sisters
may walk over dry shod, even If she be
submerged by the weight of the on
marching army, who only wait for the
bridge to be made ere they find them
selves testing its strength. Our noble
brothers who are upholding these IN
dOmitable workers Will receive their
reward in the conviction of daring TO do
what they feel to be right besides the
emoluments they will be sure TO receive
i'm the not far distant future when
woman has had awarded to her the
right to stand by the side Of her brother
in all the acquisitions and responsloill-
ties of life for which her talents or in
clination attract her Then will be in
augurated an era, novel and seemingly
disastrous for time, but out of this
chaos and confusion will evolve better
order of things, than possibly can aeerue
under n one-sided government; other
wise we are a false prophet. AS things
cannot be in much worse state thaI
the present, we hope the coming trlal oI
these women will decide this mater
whether we are persons or only thihsS'
