Two Heroines Of History.

NJ. dc Fernig, an inhabitant of French
Flanders, during the first reverses of the
French army in 1872, had his house
marked out for the vengeance Of the
Austrians and burned.
Having no other country but the
army, NJ. de Fernig, with his son and
two daughters, went with DumourieZ
into the campaign of ArgODne. These
young girls, whose tenderness for their
father and passion for their country had
torn them from the shelter of their sex
and age, were thrown into the camp.
Their filial love had left them no other
asylum.
The Convention cited the names OF
these two young girls to France, and
sent them horses and arms Of honor, in
the name of the country.
DumOurieZ, at the period of his first
command i'm Flanders, held them up tO
the admiration of the soldiers in the
camp Of Maulde.
They fought at Valmy and Jemappes.
The eldest, Felicite de Fernig, followed
the Due de Charities on horseback, and
did not quit him during the battles.
The second, Theophile, prepared herself
to carry to old Gen. Fcrrand the orders
Of the General-in-Chief, and to march
with him To the assault. DumOuriez

IMPURE WATER IN WELLS.-Nauy
of the forms of typhus fevers in cities
and villages have been traced to impure
water in wells. Through imperfect
drainage, and other means of introduc-
ing surface water thereiu-water con-
taminated with the various decaying
substances always found, especially in
cities, have always made them hOt-beds
Of miasma. But it is the farmer that
we wish especially TO caution here.
Many-nay, nearly all our population
have supposed that when they have dug
a well, and banked il sufficiently to pre-
vent surface water from running in di-
Tectly from the surface, that they were
secure, and that they must necessarily
have pure water; but such is not the
case. The filter eventually becomes foul
and ceases to act; and so, often, with
the earth about a well. 1t is simply a
natural filter, and therefore the drainage
/ from the barn-yard, or other impure
sources passing under the ground in the
/ line Of the well, must eventually con-
/ taminate it. This may be obviated by
under draining, and this should always
/ be one of the first operations attended
/ to, if the water in the well proceeds
/ from any such probable source as has
I been here named. As a fact bearing on
this subject, we may state that out of
thirty-sfx samples of water sent for eX-
animation to DR.. NOelcker, he found
many contaminated with sewerage /;
and he earnestly invited attention to
the serious injury which may be pro-
duced to health by the use of such inn
pure water.

ABOUT WOMAN's RIGHTs.-Rev. DIR.
Chaplin, in a recent discourse on "The
Crown of Women" said:
The condition Of obligation and the
condition of rights are inseparable. To
exercise these, women must have cope
and opportunity. Her obligations COM
pei her to demand her rights. She has
right to develop her nature to the ut
most of its power. Whatever power de
nies this is tyrannical. Woman has
the right of doing and being the best
she can. The question of Woman sur

Now, there is nothing weak man
likes so well as to be considered strong ;
nothing n hen-pecked man likes so
much as to be regarded rs a tyrant. II
YOU ever hear n man boast his determi-
nation to rule his own house, you may
feel sure that he is subdued. And a
hen-pecked husband always makes a
great show of opposing everything that
looks towards the enlargement OF the
work or privileges of women. such
man always insists on the shadow OF ali-
thority because he cannot have the sub
stance. 1t is great satisfaction to him
that his wife can never be President,
and that she cannot make speeches IN
prayer-meeting. While he retains these
badges of superiority, he is still, IN
some sense, head of the family.-EdrdTd

New ARGUNENTS.-Ther is a cease
less call for new arguments to convince
the opponents of Woman Suffrage.
"Why don't you bring US something
new?n But the old is not answered.
'The consent OF the governed is held
by all to be the basis of just govern
ment." Apply the principle say we.
ave have heard that, till we are tired
of il" says the enemy. Women ought
not to be reckoned politically with idi
ots. "YOu are all the time saying that,
tell us something else" This is done
to every argument which cannot be an
swered, to every principle which ought
to he but is not applied.
The Suffragists have borne this with
endless patience, while they have laid
deep and sure the foundations on which
will one day be built a government
which will not make political and legal
distinctions based on sex; but the peO-
pie will be the rulers and the ruled.
We have now arrived at a stage where
it is proper for us to apply new methods.
We have this TO propose when a candi-
date is nominated or suggested for any
Office, either Town, County, State or
National, the combined influence of all
Suffragists shall be against the candi-
date who shall be against suffrage for
women, no matter how worthy and
valuable he may be in all other respects.
He is the enemy of the political rights
of women, and his nomination is "nOt
fit to be made" This argument viii be
felt and needed.
There are now many advocates of
Woman Suffrage. They are a power.
BY tongue and pen their influence is
everywhere. There is scarcely a town
in which Is not some woman, whose
steady, determined opposition would de-
feat Il candidate who would rank her

The Christian Union makes the fol-
lowing comments on the article of Ed
Ward II. Lee, on Suffrage in Wyoming,
IN the GALAXY.
Inc question of Woman Suffrage has
Tellglous as well as political relations.
Inueeu, II relates to all social life.
Hence the result of the movement in
I wyoming deserves careful considera-
iIon. An article from Edward NJ. Lee,
IN the Goidry, states, with apparent
eandor, the working of the system.
II was introduced, he says, not from
convection, but as an advertisement Of
the Territory. Under it women have
| acted in the capacity of Justice of the
peace, superintendent of education, iu-
/ rOrs and voters, and in all cases the re-
suit has been good. As to the lady jus
tice he says:
"Her decisions in civil cases Were
sometimes appealed from by the parties
deeming themselves aggrievef; but in
nearly every instance they are confirmed
/ by the appellate court. During her adj
ministratiOn q decided improvement in
the tone of public morals was noticeable,
and the laws had never been so ably adj
ministered in that vicinity
The influence of women in the Jury
has been uniformly good. They carried
/ their religion with them. Mr.. Lee says
Of one ease, 1T is alleged that the wom-
en- passed Il considerable portion of the
night in prayerful contemplation Of the
grave responsibilities resting on them,
whilst the men indulged in a cheerful
game of cards" The women gave tone
to law and justice.
In political convention, where rude
men were involved in strife, and pro-
ceeded even to blows, the entrance of
women restored order and decorum, and
probably averted loss of life. In voting
the utmost decOrum has been observed.
Mr.. Lee says no one listened to a sylla-
bic or observed an action that could Of
fend the most sensitive woman. He as
serts that women have lost none of their
female graces and Tefinements,- that
their influence has purified the political
atmosphere, and given power to the exc
cution of the laws. There has been no
/ tendency t5 free-lOve, but, on the other
! hand, an exemplary fullillment of do
mestic duties. The women are not in
jured by love of power or political am
/ bition. The duties of suffrage demand
very little time.

Why Women Are Extrazagant.

Somebody once said that the women
OF to-day are so eXtravagant in dress,
and so helpless in other respects, that
none but rich men can afford to marry.
and foolish people have been saving the
same thing, or something very like it,
ever since. Every time a man fails in
business, people take q mental inven-
tory OF his Wife's wardrobe and cry out.
Poor fellow he was ruined bv her ex-
travagancer

penses, or his unnecessary restaurant
bills, or his fast horses, or the vanity
which prompted him 70 buy bigger or

Monsieur Snip, who charges extra price
because he calls himself an ''artist

and lived only as his circumstances
warranted, doing it, too, only for his
sake, that he might not be ashamed TO
introduce her rs his wife Or if She had
been as eXtravagant as he, the fault is

HOME WORDS.-Kind words cost moth
ing, yet how prone men are to forget
theml Often one goes on his weary way,
full ofcare and full Ofgrief, feeling that for
him all is trouble and all is toll, when
but simple word of encouragement or
look of sympathy would cheer his
soul, and rouse him from despair y
child will often dry its tears when kind
ly spoken to, and soon will fade away
its childish sorrow.
If each one of the sons of men would
only speak a single word of kindness or
of consolation in fellow mortars ear
between the gray dawn of evening, how
would the burdens of the cares of life
/ tighten, how would the shadows flee
from off mems brows y gentle word
can never loose its power. Its sweet
fragrance will gently float along the
coming years-lOng after the tongue
which uttered il has mOUldered in the
dust.
Often the despairing and hopeless he
ing has been snatched from the very
edge of the suicides grave by the power
of loving word of cheer and sympathy.
He stops and lists; the sound of a melO-
dious human voice whispering its COM
fort breaks on his ear, and melt his
hardened heart, as they float along like
the strains of far-ofr music on the calm
air of night. He turns; the abyss of
despair no longer yawns before his
stumbling feet, and he is saved. An
erring one may be reclaimed from the
paths of sin, and almost from the re-
gions of the lost, by an arm of love
stretched out for rescue. Speaking a
kind word here and there is like scat
tering seeds upon the broken ground
which in due season will bear fruit.
. How desirable is the presence of one
who has ever hanging on his lips
ready for utterance, 4 word of love
His entrance into any place is like ;

How EASILY BUTTERsIS SPOILED. -
\ farmers wife writes: "Of all the prod
ucts Of the farm, butter is most likely to
be tainted by noxious odors floating i'm
the atmosphere. Our people laid some
veal in the cellar, from which blood
flowed out and was neglected until it
commenced to smell. The result was
that a jar which was then packed
smelled and tasted like spoiled beef
Another lady reader observed that there
was pond of filthy, stagnant water a
few hundred feet from their house, from
which an offensive eflluvium was borne
on the breeze directly to the milk-roOm
when the wind was in q certain direc-
tion. The result was that cream and
butter would taste like the disagreeable
odor coming from that pond, and when
the pond was drained we had no more
of the damaged butter.
