THE WOMENS CONGRESS-.

Judging from the Report of the
proceedings Of this body, it will
compare favorably with that which
assemblies annually at Washington
10 save the country, and fill the
pockets Of its members. The Rep
resentatiye women of all sections
II there, and among them we no.
tice one or two from the Southern
States. They make good speeches,
perpetrate some tolerable witt
cisms, and display a considerable
amount of humor. There are law
yers, doctors, preachers, but we are
sorry to notice an absence Of farm
ers amongst thcm. One young and
pretty lawyeress, Miss Phoebe
Cousins, Esq, made IL sprightly
speech, which called forth the
pfaudits Of the entire assembly. A
Rev. Miss was introduced as one
who could "marry couples, attend
funerals, baptizo, and do all men
ministers could do, besides things
they could not do" which was as
scented to as a self-ovident truth
On the whole, it is creditable to
their great ancostross, Mother Eve
this gathering Of the women folks
for The purpose of turning the
world upside down again, though
we scarcely believe woman's prop>
or position is on tho top in such
matters.

THERE is a lull in the canvass.
The horde Of speakers, so rampant
at the opening, seem suddenly to
have sunk in the ground. Ames
and Acorn have disappeared from
view. Whether they have gone to
hunt bear in the Mississippi bottom.
or TO renew their exhausted vocab.
ularies in some quiet room, unseen
Of men, We are not advised. Al
present Powers and the Legislature
are masters of the situation, and
the people are apathotic and will.
ing to accept whatever situation is
to be marked out for them by the
assembled law-givers. Election or
no election, it will not rouse the
indifference with which the people
have responded to the frantic efforts
of the horde of plebeian office
seekers who are infesting the coun-
try, and because the people are
simply in a condition to wait and
not act, they will let events take
their course. The ballot-box has
lost its charms; it has become a
prostituted means Of lifting adven-
turers and the mud stills of society
into places for which nature never
designed them, and it is done in the
only manner it could be done, by
massing an overwhelming ignorance
and breaking down the old bulwarks
by sheer force of numbers.
For ourselves, we care not wheth-
er the end of the campaign be Ames
or Alcorn, or no election.

MURDER AT BRIDGEPoRT.-Mr. Wiley
w. Hightower, chief bridge-builder on
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
was murdered by Thomas Glover, u saloon
keeper at Bridgeport. Mr.. Hightowel
was born and raised in Franklin county
where he has many acquaintances, and he
was generally esteemed as a high-:oned,
honorable gentleman, and his death is de-
plored. The Nashville Banner says: at
appears that Wiley w. Hightower, chief
bridge-builder on that road, had a fight
with Thomas Glover, a few days ago. in
which Glover came out worsted. For this
reason Glover bore a grudge against High
tower, and this feeling was shared by his
brother, William Glover. William Glover
kept a store opposite the depot. When
Higlitowcr came upon the platform, at the
time indicated, he was attacked by the
two brothers, three shots being exchanged.
Nightower then rctreated into the tel0y
graph Office, and while standing in it be-
hind the stove, VIM. Glover came to the
window and shot him, the ball passing
through 4 glass pane. stove pipe and
llightowcr's breast. Hightowcr Survived
his wounds, which bled proiusely only Il
few brief moments"

As now is the time for pruning, and
otherwise caring for fruit trees, and es-
pecially the apple variety, let me suggest
to the readers of the Home Journal the i'm
portance Of the proper pruning and train
ing Of young apple trees, in order to so di-
rect the growth into no more than the
necessary branches. and thereby save the
necessity of cutting out many branches
which in Il very few years become a nui-
sance. And | would also say to those who
have young trees, instead of throwing
your soap suds away, take it, with a cloth
and rag, and wash your trees, rubbing
them so as to clean off everything that
would be a hiding place tor insects, and
also promote the growth of the tree.
If any should doubt as to the utility of
such \ wash, let them make the applica-
ton to a part of their trees, and leave =
part. which will be the means of testing
the benefit of such a course. r.
