Gallantry of United States Sailors.

Tho achievement of the United
States squadron at Marscilles,
Franco, is causing II good deal of
comment abroad. That city and II
thousand merchant ships were nc.
tually saved from destruction by
the discipline, skill, and intrepid
ty of tho officers and men.
The squadron, consisting Of the
Wabash, Congress, Brooklyn, Ply
mouth, Shenandoah, Juniata, and
Wachusctto, under the command OF
Admiral Alden, lay i'll the Napolc-
on Basin, amid innumerablo mcr-
chantmen of every description and
from every nation. Shortly after
midnight an explosion startled tho
city, followed by fire and dense
clouds of heavy smoke, which is
sued from an Italian ship just ar
rived from Philadelphia with u
cargo of petroleum. The nature Of
the danger soon became evident,
and it seemed impossible to pre-
vent the spreading of the fire from
ship to ship, as they lay in such a
mass, and u general conhagration
cc.ncd imminent, for the houses
extended down to the wharf on ov-
cry side. No city of Franco has
the means to extinguish n great
fire, and hence the people gathered,
contemplating the scene in panic
stricken, fascinating horror.
Presently II wcll-manncd boat
came from the part of tho basin
illuminated by the blaze, and pull
ed directly for the burning ship
This was soon followed by another,
then a third, ten, twenty, all the
boats of the American squadron
A moment later men were seen on
the deck of the burning ship. The
silence of the people on tho shore
was such that they could hear,
through tho smothcred roar and
crackle Of the fire, the word of
command and the blows of the AK
cs. The people were thinking of
the hundreds of barrels of petrole-
um below, and its possible escape
on shore, and communication to
other ships, perhaps others with
petroleum, and in imagination
conceived the whole surface of the
basin covered with blazing OIL
Presently the burning vesslc began
to settel. She had been scuttled,
and her cargo was under water, and
the deck level with the surface
The danger from the escape of
burning oil was still imminent,
when a line of boats, dashed togeth-
CT stem and stern, was seen pull
ling away, and as the file straight
cned out the ship began TO move
also, and was slowly lowed out TO
the bay by over two hu ,dred we'll
manned boats. 1t was only then
that an immense cheer broke from
thousands of people who felt mex
pressible gratitude for the saliva
ton of the city.

A Fowl OBSTRUCTION "A late
number of tho Des Moincs (Iowa)
Register says:
a singular case of railroad OBJ
struction, and one for which no
remedy is provided by tho statutes,
occurred few evenings since on
the Valley road in Green county.
Conductor Livingstone train, when
about three miles this side Of Grand
junction, in passing through some
low country and near Il pond, ran
into an immense flock of swan,
brandt, geese and other wild fowl.
The birds were just about to alight
on the track rs tho train drew
near. Their number was so great
that the sky was tillod with them,
and those above pressing down on
the lower strata, forced them to
alight on the car tops. The engine,
tender and cars were covered with
the fowls, and some even chung to the
bars of tho cow-catchcr. One state
Iy swan had II wing injured in the
crush, and found resting place on
the headlight, from who ace he
was taken by the engineer. The
bird, however, managed to escape
from custody near Perry, and jump
ing from the tender where he had
been tied, disappeared in the grass.
The raid continued several min
utcs, quito q number of the aerial
army being run over by the train,
and some half n dozen being cap
turcd by the passengers and train
men. AS soon us the birds on the
top of tho flock began to under
stand the situation they scared
away followed by the entire covy.

PLATFORM
Of the Woman Suffrage Party of the p
cifc Slope.

clnc slope
WHEREAS, We, the representative
women Of the Pacific Coast, in Conven-
ton assembled in san Francisco, this
DIST day of June, 1872, believing the
time has come to form new political
party, do organize under the name of
the Woman Suffrage Party of the Pa
ciic Coast, and declare the following
platform Of principles:
1st. All men and women are created
free and equal, and are endowed alike
with certain inalienable rights, among
which are the rights to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
2d. We hold that under the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments to
the Constitution of the United States
women are already enfranchised and
entitled to the right to vote, and are de-
barred Of the privilege only through
prejudice and misinterpretation Of the
law.
Sd Pendinga decision Of the Supreme
Court rs to the full import Of these
Amendments, and in view Of the posi-
bility Of an adverse decision, we will
labor with our utmost zeal and energy
for an additional amendment TO the
Constitution to secure these rights.
We will also work with determination
for the revision and modification Of the
Constitution and laws Of our respective
States.
4th. All persons alike, both men and
women, are entitled to equal rights be-
fore the law.
5th. All persons and parties who OPP
pose these principles shall be treated as
our political enemies, from whom we
will withhold our influence in politics
and our patronage in business.
9th. We will work for the election OF
any worthy candidate Of whatever party
who will work with Us, and we will Wig
orOusly oppose any candidate of any
party who is opposed to these princi'
pies.
eth. As a political party we unite
upon this common platform, regardless
of nationality, sex, religion or condi
tion.

CURING \ WOMAN OF DRINKING
Arthur Martin, Of Pittsburgh, Penn,
having a wife addicted to drinking, pur-
chased a chain and secured her to the
bed every morning before going to work.
The chain Is described rs heavy enough
to hold dozen women; and as he used
to double il and fasten it TO her neck,
the weight held her down in a very un-
comfortable posture. The weight was
about thirty pounds. Last Wednesday
night she escaped into the street, and
was on her way to the river to drown
herself. when she was taken up by po-
liceman, who supposed her to be insane.
She stated on examination before the
Mayor that Martin had not only chained
her down in this manner, but had also
/ burned her in the mouth with n red-hoi
poker TO prevent her from drinking
The Mayor, not approving of this man
ner of family discipline, sent Martin M
in default of 81, 900 bail.

is dawning. The women of the Earth
are coming out of darkness into light;
we are passing through the ordeal stead

us from every nation, creed and color.
The lovers OF humanity, human rights
and equality are with Us in spirit every

The aims and objects Of the Woman
Suffrage party meet with the hearty ap-
probation of all thinking men and
women of Europe, as well as America.
/ Therefore, we do not weary. As daugh-
/ tiers of Liberty, the American women
will grapple with the monster oppres-
sion, until we finish the work begun by
our Fathers in '76, aided by the good
Abraham Lincoln in 'G2; and until ev-
ery vestige of the Demon is slain, we
will not cease with all our might to OBJ

The finest specimen of Brussels lace is
so complicated as to require the labor OF
seven persons OH one piece, and each
operative is employed at distinct tea-
tunes of the work. The thread used is
of exquisite fineness, which is spun in
dark Underground rooms, where it IS
sufficiently moist to prevent the thread
from separating. 1t is so delicate rs TO
scarcely be seen, and the room is so ar
ranged that all the light admitted shall
fall upon the work. 1t is such material
that renders the genuine Brussels ground
