A Brave Woman.

Long Island has a heroine, and her
name deserves to be connected with Ida
Lewis. The .Sin tells of two men, John
Mason and a friend, whose boat cap
sized last Friday afternoon, near EatOn's
Neck light, opposite the residence of
Mr.. COnklin, farmer. When the cries
for help were heard, we learn from the
account i'm the San that Mr.. COnklin
was away from home, and there were
only three women and little boy in
the house. All rushed to the beach and
saw the struggle of the drowning man,
but for a moment they were so paTalyzed
that neither of them had presence of
mind enough to make a movement to
aid him. Then Miss Lucinda Conklin,
without stopping to consult her mother
or sister, waded out into the bay, deter
mined to make one effort to save Ma
son. At this part Of the bay the beach
is broad and shelves out very gradually,
so that the brave woman was enabled
TO wade within q few feet of Mr.. Mason.
But as she moved forward, clearing the
ice from her path, the water deepened
little by little until at last when she
was only eight or ten feet from the man
she sought to save, only her head was
above the water. BY this time Mason
showed signs of exhaustion. He clung
to the ice for so long q time, that his
hands had become numb and almost
powerless, and Miss COnklin saw by his
efforts to relieve his hands by placing
his elbows on the cake of ice,
that his chances of life were not worth
minutes purchase. With heriOsm
seldom, if ever paralleled, she made
plunge into the deep water, and with
few vigorous strokes reached the drown
ing man. Although exhausted, he was
still sensible, and faithfully Obeyed the
instructions given him by the brave
woman. She had warned him against
seizing hold of her in such a manner as
to impede her motions; so when she
reached him, he placed his hands on
her shoulders, and in a few seconds,
thanks to her good swimming, both
stood neck deep in the ice-cOld water
and began wading shoreward. As Miss
| COnklin reached the shore, she tainted
away and was carried to the house by
| her relatives. Mason, nearly frozen to
| death, following in their wake. Miss
l Conklin was thoroughly exhausted by
her eXertions, as well as by the tremen-
dous excitement under which she had
labOred, and did not recover for two or
three days. Mason's companion stuck
manfully to the keel of the boat, and in
due course of time was hauled ashore.
Miss COnklin is a young lady, of about
the average size; but her country train
ing has impaired for her much more
than the average strength of her sex.
Although not beautiful, she is spoken
of as interesting and piqltdnte in style,
and is very popular in the neighbOrhOOd

MONTANA WOMEN ENFRANCHIsED.- -
By an awkward mistake made by the
the last Montana Legislature, that body
unintentionally enfranchised all the
women of foreign birth in the Territory.
The law which was passed declares that
GALL male citizens of the United States
above the age of twenty-one years, and
all persons of the same age who shall
have declared their intention to become
such citizens, etc, shall have the right
to vote" AS an evidence of the wom-
ems anxiety TO vote, whether such
anxiety is previously expressed or not,
many women of that Territory have
declared their intention to become citi-
Zens in order to vote at the next elec-
ton. II the foreign-born women of that
Territory would all declare their inten-
tions thus, and then vote promptly, the
Legislature, we think, would be too
gallant to repeal the law or correct an
error which might result in no error, in
the long run. OF the Montana legis-
lator it may yet be said that he built
better than he knew.-OdklGRd EUening

The Woman Snfragists.

We find all these good things in the
New York Commercial AdUeTttser:
When a jurist as eminent as Judge
Henry II. Selden testifies that he told
Miss Anthony before election that she
had a right to vote, and this after a care
full examination of the question, the
whole question assumes new import
ance, and Mr.. Selden at once becomes
the central object of alteration by all the
gentle believers in woman's right to the
ballot. And when the same able law
yer advocates the cause of Miss Anthony
in the United States Courts, there is
abundant reason why other men, both
lay and legal, should put themselves in
an attitude at least of willingness to
change their convictions upon this
topic, which now threatens to take on
very enlarged proportions. The points
made in the argument by Mr.. Selden
are that the defendant had legal right
to vote; that even if no such right eX-
listed, if she believed she had such q
right, and voted i'm such faith, that she
committed no Offense; and lastly, he
argued, that she did vote in pursuance
of such belief. The point that Miss An
thony had acted illegally only because
she was a woman, was well put. Had
her brother, under the same circum-
stance, done the same thing, his act
would have been not only innocent but
laudable. The crime was, therefore, not
in the act done, but in the sex of the
person who did it, Women, remarked
the Judge, have the same interest in the
maintenance of good government as
men. No greater absurdity, to use no
harsher term, can be presented to the
human mind than that of rewarding
men and Furnishing women for the same
act, without giving women any voice
in the question of which shall be re-
warded and which punished. How
grateful to Judge Selden must all the
suffragists be! He has struck the
strongest and most promising blow in
their behalf that has yet been given.
Dred Scott was the pivot on which the
Constitution turned before the war.
! Miss Anthony seems likely to occupy
similar position now.
