Base Ball" has commenced.

An Ohio paper says - At the close of one
of Mrs. Swisshelm's orations, she asked if any
male citizen was present who was opposed to
woman suffrage; if so. she would like to have
him stand up and give his reason. TO the sur
prise of nearly every one present, the serious
minded chaplain of the Ohio Penitentiary
arose. Some one limited to Mrs. Swisshelm
bis calling and position, when Mrs. Swis~helm
inquired if he had any women in the Peniten-
tiary. Yes, responded the chaplain, we
have twelve, and they ma ke more trouble than
the whole nine hundred men. Now, this
was. to say the least of it. very ungallant
speech from the "serious-minded chaplain
