The Amazon of Iowa.

An Iowa correspondent furnishes the
following story of womanly prowess to
prove that the race of AmaZons, in that
State at least, is by no means extinct:
When the Sabula, Ackley and Dakota
Railroad was being located the line hap
pened to pass through the lands of a
woman known in the neighbOrhoOd as
Mother Haines, and living about %
miles west of Sabula. She strenulously
objected to having her property cut by
the road, and, accordingly, the damages
were regularly assessed, and the right of
way assumed. When the workmen ar
rived, however, her wrath was at fever
heat, and would not be appeased. The
appearance of the locomotive made
things no better, but rather worse; for
one morning, as the train came up, the
engineer found a fence built across the
road, and Mother Haines deiiantly sit
ting astride at the middle of the track.
The rest is told in the peculiar dialect of
our informant: "WOuld she get off? I
reckon not Thar she sot an shook her
fist at the engineer till the train stopped.
Then the conductor came out an or
dered her of, but she didn't bulge an
inch. Then he swore at her-ani mind
l tell you when Jim swares the air gets
blue, but she wasn't much on the skeer.
At last the engineer seZ, seZ he, stand
back, Jim, I'll histe her'-an' lettin' on
steam he went for her, but thar she sot,
a screamin' an swingin' that fist. I'd
sooner take tap from settin' maui.
Why, she batted Havens with it few
days ago, an you ought to see him
drop. Havens belongs to the engineer
force, an he hasn't had n clear title to
his right eye since. As l was sayin',
the engini came OH, an she cut dirt lust
as the rails began to fly. They ratified
about her legs, but we left her shakin'
that fist till we got out of sight. That
was good while ago. Why jist last
Sunday we was cOmin' out with wood
train-fifteen cars-an' right at the foot
of the hill the wheels begun to spin
around, an it wouldn't go nohOw.
What dye think? Them rails was
creased as far rs to that caboose down
yOnder. Thar was more'n half hog
cut up an laid in chunks on the rails.
An earoseen Oil-my soull We backed
out an sanded the track. an came
rushini up, but the wheels would strike
one of them fat chunks, AM there we
wus. Where wus she? Why standin'
of on the hill lookin' on an laughin'.
Make her afeard to do it? Dye see
them big fellers on the train? Well,
they'd rather face a thousand cheese
pots [chassepots 2 than that OLE wom-
an. I tell you, mister, she's a strappin'
big thing, au' she's on her muscle. Eff
she goes for feller she fetches him. -

The Good Work in Indiana.

The addresses of Mrs. Longley and
Mrs. Cutler, before the Legislature OF
Indiana, in support OF the Woman Suf-
frage Memorial, were very successful.
A citizen of indianapolis writes us as
follows:
On Friday afternoon, Jan. Il, both
Houses Of the Legislature, with as many
citizens as could find standing room, as
sembled in Representative Hall, to
listen to the speeches of Mrs. Margaret
V. Longley, of Ohio, and Mrs. H. NJ.
Cutler, of Ills, which followed the
presentation of the Memorial from the
American Woman Suffrage Association.
The speakers were introduced by
Lieut.. Gov. Sexton, Mrs. LOngley
speaking first. So earnestly and clearly
did she set forth her statements, that
the accustomed smile, which so plainly
saws, awe listen for the sake of gal
lantry," faded quickly, and the most
earnest attention prevailed. Her argu-
ments were unanswerable. We could
also say with the poet, while listening
TO her, "How excellent n thing is Z
sweet voice in 4 woman;n and when, as
i'm this case, il is united to the sincere
dignifed presence which characterizes
this most admirable woman and speaker
the charm is great.
Mrs. Longley was followed by Mrs
Tracy Cutler, one of the earliest workers
in this cause. Having stood by the
very cradle OF the movement, now thai
her hair has silvered i'm her long work
and her spirit never "wearies in vel
/ doing" she is peculiarly fitted to wiz
I the respect and admiration Of her audi
ences. In this instance she held them
rs if under the influence of a spell
united, harmonious, interested intense.
/ ~. Now laughing, or applauding with
one accord, and now shielding theil
eyes, or bending forward, as she drew
! from her long personal experience, anC
I touched their hearts with new sym.
pathy.
For the hour those already convince,
dwelt upon the top Of the mountain, anC
/ the opposition looked painfully anxious
as their objections, one by one, crumbleC
away.
When these addresses closed, it wal
amusing TO hear our Solons admitting
I that not a man in either House cOulC
have equaled these speeches. One Sen
ator compared Mrs. Cutler TO Henry
Clay; and another spoke for the entir'
audience when he wished all advocate
Of this cause "were as sensible, woman
ly, and pleasing as these two women.
These ladies will probably visit Nash
vile, Tenn, Frankfort, kyr ant
Springfield, Ill. Wherever they ar
heard, we feel sure that good result

He Thought So.

AZ always thought sou is the very
wise remark which everybody makes
when the most unlikely thing in the
world has just happened. 1t argues
great penetration and foresight; and as
no one has right to dispute the remark,
we may fancy il is believed.
The Rev. Mr.. Jones was chaplain TO
the State prison in -, and q very
judicious appointment it was. The old
gentleman had retired from active pas
toral labor, and his venerable appear
ance and gentle manners were fitted to
inspire respect even among thieves.
When the fact of his appointment was
made known, member of the Metho-
dist church, residing within one of the
circuits where Father Jones had
preached for many years, and was well
known, having some business to tran
sact with one of his neighbors, thought
he would have joke At the expense of
old Mr.. Jones, and astOnish his neigh
bors into the bargain. Now, this neigh
Dor Brown had been a great admirer of
Father Jones, had shouted the loudest
under his preaching, and eheered him
with the heartiest Amensi So to him
came the humorous friend, Mr.. Smith,
and cried out to him over the fence, as
he found him at his work:
Brother Brown, have you heard the
news? ?"
"Why, no, what news, Brother
Smith ?r
"Well, they say old Father Jones has
been sent to States prison."
"You don't say so, Brother Smith. Is
it really n fact?n
az guess it's So" said Smith; 81 heard
it from Brother Cook, and he saw it in
the paper, and l guess there's no mis-
take about it,"
"Well, WE'LL Now, Brother Smith,
I'll tell you a thing or two that l never
did tell nobody before, not even my
wife. The fact is, between you and me
and that stone wall, always thought
that old Jones wasn't exactly the right
kind of a man; and when he was here |
used to think he'd get into the State
prison one of these days. ! think the
old sinner is better in it than out among
honest folksw
Mr.. Smith left him without explain
ing the misrepresentation, preferrinc
that the scandal-loving Brown should
find out his error by degrees. The
world does love to kick man when he's
down.

A CHINESE -KITCHEN.-A Chinese
kitchen, from which such things are
turned out for the table, is a wonder in
its way. There is nothing in it but a
cooking stove or two, not longer than
our American water pail, with a few
stew pans, and many chopsticks, from
which few things come the many courses
for the table, all well cooked and gar
nished nay, even the beefsteaks, so
difficult to have cooked well at home.
The more | go over the world, the more
| am convinced that Americans and
Englishmen are far behind the rest of
creation in preparing their food to be
eaten. Our civilization in this is
over hundred years behind the age;
and in this respect the Chinese are far
our superiOrs. That DEVILS invention
OF ours, the kitchen range, ought to
be kicked down to where it came from,
the lower regiOns-an invention which,
in summer, roasts us out of our houses
and in winter consumes as much coal IN
one day as a Chinaman would need IN
month, or n Frenchman in week.
Some rich man i'm America, some COM
ing Peter Cooper, in lieu of teaching us
how to draw, would do well to teach us
how to boil potatoes, cook beefsteahs,
roast mutton and bake bread, for such
Peter Cooper would be the very grand
est of American human benefaetOrs'
