Supreme Judges on the Woman Ques-
ton.

In Mrs. Bradwelrs case to-day, Judges
Swayne, Field and Bradley were not pre-
pared to apply the principles which they
enunciated yesterday to aid in the cause of
woman's rights, and all of them stated that
they did not think woman's privileges OF
practicing law was one of the privileges and
immunities of the 14th amendment. Mr..
Judge Bradley, in an elaborate opinion. cited
common and civil law, the law of nature and
divine law, to prove that it never was in
tended that woman should practice law, but
that womans sphere was her home, and she
violated all law in endeavoring to force her
way into professional and public life. The
decision shows that, except the Chief-Justice
clined to aid by judicial decision the wo-
mans rights movement. Judge Bradleys
opinion seemed to cause no little amusement
upon the bench and in the bar Washington

Helena, Montana, Thursday, May 8, 1873.

"Well, well, let it be so, my child, since
you can only save my honor by marrying
Albert Bernett''
"This is the condition-that he waits six
months"
"Six months let it be, since you will it so. :"
The months passed. The allotted five
years had expired. Again Katy sat on the
old stile. 1t was her wedding day. Buried
in thought over the past, not for one moment
did she expect the appointment to be kept
But when she felt strong hand placed on
her head, she looked up, and, with glad
cry, bounded into the arms of the manly,
brave sailor beside her.
"James! James! have you really come
back to me?'
"Yes; but what's the matter, child, you've
been crying!"
1t took only short time to explain the
truth to James.
$50, so, they were going to tear you from
me. Well fool them all by stepping to the
parsons door and being harnessed as tight.as
the law can make us. What say you, Katy?"
"The bill, how is that to be paid?'
"Never you fear about that. haven't
been toiling five years to 'scrape few cents
together. There, Katy, that thrust was un-
kind; but come, darling, we'll be too late,
if we don't hurry
When Albert Bernett found that his be-
trothed had outwitted not only him, but her
parents, he politely took his leave. The
guests congratulated the newly welded pair,
and Mrs. Grundy wagged her tongue over
the strange affair to her hearts content
The fathers debt was satisfactorily settled,
and even Mr.. Bernett soon learned to regard
James, the sailor boy, as model son-in-]aw

KATY ATKINS JOKE.
BY BCDD REDWOOD.

"Katy, you don't mean what you say; l
am sure you will be sorry for giving utter
ancc to such sentiments when your cooler
self has control over the impetuosity which
now sends those singing darts of unkind
words into my heart. l am an ignorant
sort of fellow, but | would work for you
from morning till night"
"There, that's what you always say. l
expected just such an answer to my questions.
Look ye, James, my father is well-to-do
man. You know as well as l do that he will
never allow his only child to wed an idle,
ood-for-no,hing fellow, who has no ambition
further than to scrapc a few cents together,
SO body and soul will not separate. Why
haven't you some vim? You have pair OF
good stout hands; sturdy constitution, ana
brains enough to Gull some OF the sweets OF
life. instead of passing your present hum
drum existence. Do be man.
"I have been a lazy scamp, that's true. l
never felt the barrier which money could
erect between two loving souls before. Now,
Katy, am sure you love me, as adore you.
I'll follow out your injunctions. III confess,
l don't like leaving my birthplace, but l
have an idea in my head, which, it can
carry it out, will fill by Golfers little fuller
than they are at present.
"What do you intend doing, James?'
"Going to sea. If you can wait i've years
for me; I'll bring you home gallant sailor
and as true heart as leave behind
"Let what will come, I'll wait
Two days more, and Katys lover had
sailed away from the little seaport town, and
Katy was left alone; but the promise stirred
up the little lassie's heart, and she prayed for
the safety of her sailor boy.
It lacked six months of the termination OF
the five years. Till now Katy had been
happy with the thought of the approaching
day when James would return, and she, the
happy bride, rule as mistress OF his home
and heart She was only twenty-one,
bright, pretty lass. Her father had, in some
careless speculation, lost most of his fortune
About this time Mr.. Bernett, one OF the
most urgent of Mr.. Atkins creditors, called
at the house. He became acquainted and
fell in love with Katy. To his earnest pro-
testations, Katy's answer was always IN the
negative.
At last Mr.. Akin learned the truth from
the young gentleman. Calling Katy to him
one morning, he confided to her the clrcum-
stances under which he was placed, urged
her to accent the Young man, and not drive
her aged parent to sorrowing grave.
AT first Katy demurred, but the tears in her
fathers eyes wrung the dreadful promise
from her. s" 'i'"33

L,OnCle SAM

The following presents short synopsis OF
81 L'Oncle Sam," Victor Sardou's new play,
which is at present having a run in New
York, and may be presented almost any day
upon the Helena boards The action of the
play begins on a steamboat on the Hudson
river. The scene represents, as well as the
resources of French stage will permit, one
of our floating palaces Among the passen-
gers on this steamer are Samuel Tapplebot
and his niece Sarah. Samuel is the type of
the Yankee-all the good and bad points, the
bad rather preponderating. When twelve,
Samuel sold matches; at fifteen was in the
blacking line; at twenty he had made for
tune out of sugar. Then he became choc-
olate merchant, and in this business he lost
all he had made in matches, blacking and
sugar; but fortune directed him into petro-
leum He struck oil, and SO, at the outset of
the play he was millionaire. On board the
vessel is French marquis, De Rochemanne,
a young nobleman travelling in the States for
observation and adventure. He is repre-
sentative Frenchman. There is a Nine Bel
lamy, who says disagreeable things; Mr.
the New York press, and, in addition, poll
tician, member of Congress, and profess
sional fiddler There is also a bizarre char
acter who deals in money and is evidently a
recollection of James Fisk, Jr. This creation
carries the odium of the play. The first act
tells YOU who the characters are. In the Sec
ond you are introduced in a splendid hotel on
Fifth avenue. Here Sarah is at home, and
the young marquis comes with an offer of
marriage During this ceremony this con-
versatiOn enSues:
HOW AMERICAN LADIES DISCUSS MARRIAGE PRO

Marquis. Worth? don't understand.
Sarah. mean are you very wealthy?
Marquis. All! Yes. Eighty thousand francs
a year.
Sarah. Is your money well invested?
Marquis. In shares, land, vineyards.
Sarah. Bordeaux vineyards? None of
M MARQUIS. Yes; but my dear Sarah
Sarah. Do you receive your rents regu-
larly?'
And So on. Sarah is enchanted with her
marquis, and runs off with him to Newport.
And so adventure follows adventure, in one
of which the marquis nearly loses his life at
the hands of one of Sarah's admirers. The
marriage nearly falls through, but in the end
Rochemanne thinks that Sarah, with all her
faults, will make a better wife than most
Frenchwomen, and the curtain falls upon
Sarah, marchiOness.

Blessings on the hand of Woman!

Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle

Power may with beauty flow;
Mother irst to guide the streamlets;
From them SO unresting grow:
Grow on for good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath OF God!
All true trophies of the Ages
Are from Mother Love impearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle

Mr.. Ingersoll is elected Governor by ma.
iority of about 3,443 over all. In the city of
New Haven he has majority Of 1856. The
majority on Governor in New Haven of the
Democrats and temperance men combined
over the Republicans last spring was only
76s. The majority of Mr.. Ingersoll in New
Haven equity, over all, 5,6O3. Last spring
in that county the opposition majority over
the Republican candidate for Governor was
only 922. These figures tell the story. Be
fore the State convention met, the New
Haven newspapers threatened that II tne
candidate of New Haven was not nominated
the Republican ticket should be defeated.

The correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle gives the following description of
the Modoc camp, and it is not all surprising
that the troops are unable to capture these
Indians:
"The principal portion of the camp is situ-
ated in a huge opening or widening OF the
ravine, of perhaps an acre in area. On all
sides of this opening, which seems more like
huge wash bowl than anything else, the
natural wall rises hundred feet or more, but
it is easily scaled, for the inner side is in
clined and the rocks are sharp and jut out all
over it. Once in this basin there is but one
way out, and that is by the trail we entered.
There are other ways out, but they are by
tunnels leading to the many caves or sink
holes in another part of the lava bed. On
the outside of this basin there is succession
of ridges as high as that which inclose it, but
these do not extend all the way around. 10
the west of the basin is a flat, table like sur
face of lava. extending from the very summit
of its rim clear back for more than mile.
In this level place are the sink holes or caves
formed thousands of years ago, perhaps in
the cooling of this immense body OF molten
earth. The openings of the holes are very
small; indeed, one does not see them until he
has almost fallen in. But they widen as they
go down, and their sides being sloping, one
can pick his way to the bottom without diti-
Guilty. Most of these caves are connected
with each other and with the larger basin by
subterraneous passages, so that one can go
for half "A mile in the bed without coming to
the surface at all. This is of incalculable
benefit in defending the stronghold, for one
man can keep one hundred at bay almost
anywhere in it without fear of being smoked
out or having retreat cut off.
