POSTAL CARDS AND CHAP POSTAGE.

When the postal card system was fret intro

General was tina, l1)09o 900 woq!d be called
for, the first year. Bat when it lad been in
use only about three noutLs. Cl ,4J5 100 had az.
tlally been ordered which would give 245 s33,-
coo an likely TO be called for within the year
Bat even this large number is probably too low,
for ifths immenEe uze Of postal cards, for ad-
YertisiDg purposes And notices. ID taken into
view, it will not be surprising il 300 00O, 900 or
even 100, 100000 should be called for within
twelve months from the time Of their introduc.

THE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION.

".A voice from San Francisco" which
finds welcome place in our columns this
week, needs, perhaps, passing COM
ment. While we admire the spirit of
the writer and declare that the "impu-
dence" Of which she speaks is by no
means over-rated, we nevertheless feel
that Woman Suffragists must make as
strong a show as possible at the Centen-
NAL that they may not be overborne by
those silly women who have not yet i'm
bibed the spirit of '76.
We believe much can be done for
Woman Suffrage provided it has not
already become a National law by the
time the Republic is one hundred years
old, by rallying the women from all
parts of the country, and engaging them
in harmonious action for their liberia
tion right upon the ground where men
will be celebrating their own independ-
ence.
But we are sanguine in the belief that
Congress will enfranchise its mothers
before the actual dawn Of our Humid
red Years. The signs of the times point
to the prospect as a grand probability;
and so let us all get ready for the greatest
gala day that women ever enjoyed when
that time shall come. II our anticipa-
tions, hopes and efforts shall fail, then
let us turn the oil Of joy into mourning,
the garments of praise into the spirit OF
heaviness and let US send forth such a
wall of Indignation as shall cause the sons
Of Liberty to hide their heads in shame as
long as their mother shall remain vas
sails. Work for the Centennial then,
good sisters. You have yet other work
to do upon those historic grounds.

Virginia Women in the War.

There were about seventy ladies pres
ent at the sessions OF the Southern His
tOrical Association, at the Montgomery
Springs, some time ago, when Gen.
Early took occasion in his war reminis-
cences to tell some stories about what
their sex did during the civil conflict. A
letter to the Richmond Enquirer gives a
condensation of his anecdotes as fol-
lows:
In 1868, while in command, number
OF ladies wanted passports. He cited
one case: A widow with whom he had
happened to 20 TO school (he would not
tell how long ago that was came for
pass. She was told that she would
have no chance, but she said she'd try,
and she did, and came gushing into
headquarters and said: "Juble, don't
you remember little Julia?n Il pledge
you my word she weighed 200 pounds).
Turning to his assistant, he sail: "Give
her pass.n Would you believe it, she
was worse mad with me for cutting off
her story, than if had refused her the
pass.
Shortly afterward three ladies came
i'm for passes. He asked the first why
she wanted to go through the lines. She
wanted TO go to her home in Winches-
ter. OF course / gave it-that was the
proper place for her The other two
ladies wanted to go home with her. For
what? 'Oh, to stay q little whilen
"And get a little finery, bonnets and
fixin's?' They confessed they wanted
to get a few things. He knew their
father, an estimable gentleman, who
lived in Charlottesville. He refused the
pass, told them to go home, that if they
went TO Winchester and bought theil
bonnets and things all the other girls in
the country would be jealous of them.
The girl to whom he gave the pass got
up with bale of dry goods on, and put
her foot down and said: "Come girls,
it's no use; he amt going to give it tC
you" Turning to his officers he said
That's girl I'll bet on"
The next year in battle at Winches-
ter, the one in which Gen. Lilly lost hi.
arm-that night the battlefield being il
charge of neither army-2 number ol
ladies from the town came out to ad
minister to the wants Of the wounded
and dying. Among these was Randolph
Ridgley, severely wounded, and thest
young ladies had no means OF carrying
away from the field the wounded, anC
while the others went back to town t
get some vehicle, this same young lady
staid there out in the dark night, ad
ministering to the wounded confeder
ates. Ridgley afterward got well.

Human Rights in Michigan.

Two weeks since we had the gratifi-
cation OF announcing the pleasing fact
that our sister State, Michigan, is not
dead to the just rights of its mothers,
wives, sisters and daughters, which un-
equal laws now deny them, inasmuch
as her Convention, elected to revise her
Constitution, had appointed commit
Tee TO inquire into the eXpediency OF
such enactments as would permit adult
women to be eligible to any office IN
that State. Though we had hoped ana
prayed that no such narrow-mindedi
selfish bigOts, whose inherent prejudices
rendered them dead to every impulse OF
Justicean humanity, as Judge Sample,
the member of the Constitutional Con-
ventiOn of our State from Cashocton
county, would disgrace the action OF the
committee, our hopes were disappointed,
and, for the present, our prayers unan-
swered.
The committee reported against the
eligibility Of women to hold any gov
ernmental or municipal office OF honor,
trust or profit, not even that of school
director, for which position every un-
prejudiced thinker admits her superior
qualifications.
Expedieney, not right, governed this
committee, and the workers in brass,
like those Of ancient Ephesus, acted
upon their creed, and believed only in
the divinity of their Diana of the Ephe-
slams. Not one gleam of justice iilu-
mined the mental darkness Of their own
selfishness, in direct contradiction OF
/ Christs and humanity's teaching: "Do
unto others as you would be done by"
/ But the Constitutional Convention Of
| Michigan gave evidence of one ray Of
the blessed light Of Christian progress,
and rebuked this semi-barbarOus COM
mittee who initiated rather the oriental
/ idea OF MahOmet and his followers, that
women are created without souls, and
hence as they are excluded from an i'm
mortal Paradise hereafter, their oppres-
sion must be prOportiOnate in this world,
than the equal doctrines OF Christ and
humanity, and finally adopted a propo-
sition authorizing women to hold
school offices. a gleam of hope there
/ fore illumines the holy cause of womanis
{ freedom in the Peninsular State. Insig
nificant though it be, as the one beggarly
crumb Of the rich inheritance of liberty
and equality, which ignorance, tyranny.
! bigOtry, injustice and the feudal right of
might, Withholds from us, we accept it
with thankfulness rs the evidence that
in our war for freedom we have gained
one victory, and that

Though bafiied Oft Is ever won"

A VOICE FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

Women Of the Cnited .States:-Be not
deceived. We are advised, when we
have missed our pocket-book in crowd,
to not look down at the empty pocket,
but up at the people, to see who is steal
ing off. And l advise you, women Of
these United States, when women ad-
dress you with appeals for Centennial
finances, 10 look not at the signatures
of the document, but shut your eyes and
think, think, think, and see if you will
not discover that these women stand be-
hind designing men, who are ready to
grasp and appropriate the money that
they employ them to gather from you.
The address to you by committee Of
Philadelphia women asking you TO con-
tribute of your hard-earned and scanty
stores, TO help celebrate mems Cen
tennial of Liberty, is too coolly impu-
dent for any use. They say they make
the appeal first, on the ground Of patri-
otism." Talk of patriotism to people
who have no country, never had q
country, and whom men are determined
never shall have! Common English
fails 10 express my indignation over
such appeals.
Women perform three-fourths of the
labor of the country, and having con-
tributed so largely to the growth and
success OF the Nation, as the Centennial
Commission say they have, they are
now asked to contribute their loose
change, but for what purpose Is it TO
enable US, as women, to celebrate our
freedom, that we may stand side by side
with our husbands, brothers and sons,
enjoying, as they do, all the rights Of
citizenship? Nay, verify; but we are
called upon to help glorify the freedom
OF men, while magnanimOusly or in
sanely ignoring the fact that we are
ourselves taxed without representation
IA tyranny against which we solemnly
and Indignantly protest.
This Government is the only civilized
one on the face OF Gods earth that ut
terly ignores its female population.
Women of the United States of Amer
lea, IL you are worthy to be mothers of
heroes, you will treat tthe"Centennial ap-
peal' with the contempt it merits, and
leave the men to pay the bill of their
Centennial for themselves. NJ. B.
