MEN NOT ADMITTED "A CoNMUSlTY OF
WOMEN OHLY.-A Boston letter says:
The establishment Of a woman's commu
nifty within the limits Of the town of Wo-
burn. about twelve miles from Boston, was
begun yesterday by the formal raising Of the
frame of the first building. In this commu.
nifty all the land is to be owned by women :
and. so far as the management OF the affairs
of the village is concerned, women suffrage
is 10 be realized to the extent of the utter
political disqualification of the sterner
sex. The members of the community
are obliged to assent to constitution
which is to govern it, but further than
this they are unrestrained, except, however,
that they are expected to attend at least once
a week upon the unsectarian service TO be
held. The occupation OF the residents in
Aurora village will be varied, and indus
trial schools are provided to tit persons for
the different kinds Of work to be done, ill.,
Guiding domestic school for instruction in
home duties. Each homestead is to be
accompanied with garden, and garden
ing and fruit-rai>ing will be tavoritc oc-
cupation. Cooperative schemes are also
planned. One Of these, and that which has
been pushed nearer to realization than any
other connected with the enterprise, is the
establishment Of laundry where full faclil-
ties are to be afforded for doing work on a
large scale, and bringing money into this
thus far decidedly needy village by COM
peting with famous Troy lauadrles. Abou.
1000 persons are committed to the enter
prise, though they are not all women, add
not to be residents. The site of the village
is wilderness, and it Offers all manner Of
obstacles. The community is called The
Womeu's Economical Garden Homestead
League sad it is established by act Of the

THE REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS
are in the custom-house, OF course. In
room of that spacious building will be found
clerk busily mailing documents to all parts
of the State. The Republican campaign
fund comes from the contributions OF feoe-
raj oftice-h holders and party candidates.. Inc
sllver-tongued Platt, be who glories IN the
salarv-steal, and says he would do 1t again
if he had a chance, lately went to New
York to raise campaign fund for the Radl'
cal cause here, and came back without d
cent. The bankers and financial men OF
that great city did not shell OUT as OF
wore. Henry CleWs and Jay COOK
used to bleed freely for the southern
Republicans, but as both gentlemen
are now busy trying to satisfy their own
creditors, they have no funds TO spare Tor
the Republican cause in the South. by The
way. hist year Jay Cooke let the notorious
Sam. Bard, OF Chattanooga, and no place ID
particular, have two thousand i've hundred
dollars to forward the Republican cause.
Now. would it not be iair tor Sam. TO repay
this as Cookies creditors need it SO badly !
This sum would satisfy several poor WIDOWS
who have nut their little surplus into North
ern Pacific bonds. AS Cooke always con-
trlbuted 50 literally to "belp the cause in
the South" who knows but that is
WHERE SOME OF ANDY yoHSsoS's MONEY WENT
This will be pleasant for Andy johnson to
reflect upon. The Radicals at the opening Of
the campaign were eontiden. tnat taey c9 tha
cause. They have failed to get cent from
that direction. They have to depend entirely
upon the contributions Of ofice-seeker' and
Federal officials within the State. The lumi.
'nously intellectual Platt may nave co .ad
down With some OF bis back.pay plunder, ana
thus aided in the great work. Plat. you
viii remember, voted for back pay and front r ut
pay every chance he could GEL and TOOK II p as
soon 500 as be could lay hands on it. In the Re Re,
publican Convention resolution was onefeo :,
condemning the back-pay steal, whereepon

steal; said be had voted for IT, took 1t, and
would do it again if opportunity offered.

The Ciyilities OF tho Road.

We find the following excellent arti-
Gle in the Western Farmer. Civility
on the road is much needed.
II notice IN recent number of your
paper an article on 1.-The Law of the
Road, which contains so many valuable
items that it seems worth a place in
every newspaper in the land. for there
is sad lacking in the civilities that
ought to be observed between persons
travelling upon the public highway.
Much Of the ignorance that pre-
walls, especially here in :he West, is at
tributable to the diverse character Of
the population, composed as it is Of va
rious nationalities: and immigrants
from different parts Of the United
States consequently confusion Of GUS
toms exist, and generally many old ruts
OF prejudice are adhered to, very few
persons suspecting that there are laacs
defining the rig hts of the road. For
the people of most of the Eastern States,
any law upon the subject Of road rights
would seem to be unnecessary; for the
rules Of the road have so long been
praoticed that: any one disregardine
