sulting from the participation Of
women in the administration of the
laws has been most beneficial and
satisfactory; and it seems to me
peculiarly proper that those who
suffer most from the commission
OF crime and the evils of vice,
should take part in its suppression
and punishment
There is another matter in which
we have been greatly benefited by
this law; and that is the change it
has wrought on election days, and
its influence at the polls. Former
~ our elections were scenes Of
drunken revel and noise: of fight
ing and riot. But when the women
came to vote, they were always
treated with the attention and re-
spect everywhere shown to women
In the United States. II there was
crowd around the polls, they al
ways gave way when woman ap-
preached, and were, silent and or
derly while she deposited her vote
and went away. If men become
/ Intoxicated, they did not remain
there where the women would see
them. No noisy discussions would
arise around the polls, because in
variably, when woman came up,
all such conversation would cease.
The fact has been that very few
people gathered at the oils; and
noise and fighting, riot and drunk
enness have been entirely unknown
there. If men drank too much, as
they sometimes did, they renamed
at the drinking shops, each political
party by itself; and consequently
avoided the quarrels and collisions
that SO often occur; while the peo-
pie went to the polls and voted as
quietly as they 60 to church, This
OF itself has been q gain in our
community Of no small moment.
At first there was quite q num-
Der of women who refused to vote,
but at every election the number
has grown less until now, very few
if any, fail to exercise the privil-
ege. Many refuse to vote as their
husbands do, but I have not heard
of any domestic discord or trouble
growing out of such course.
In conclusion, I wish to say, az
broadly and unquaifedly as I can
express it, that, while I have seen a
great many advantages and much
public good grow out of this change
in our laws, I have seen none of the
evils or disadvantages so generally
apprehended and so warmly de,
nounced by the opponents.
Very respectfully, t4

the first boat was one hundred
yards and the second only twenty
or thirty yards from the vessel
The crew of the first boat, after
landing the women, rowed around
the scene of the wreck, and saved
five men trying to swim ashore.
A lugger took off the occupants OF
the second boat with thirty-6ve pas
sengers, and q pilot cutter rescued
the pilot and ten men, who having
gone down with the vessel, rose to
the surface, and clung to the main
topmast rigging. aBof q

maintained his presence Of mind
from the first to the last and strove
hard to put an end to the panic,
and did his duty bravely to the end.

across the deck, in the hope Of ena

around the boats on that side to

OLD AGE.

An old person has feeble circula-
ton in the feet and legs. Nothing
contributes more to relieve the diff
ficulty in breathing and the chronic
cough and other troubles about the
head and chest, so common among
all people, than keeping the feet
and legs warm. Aaf4 lafa e
MIR, S. bank officer, had been
sitting in bank nearly fifty years
He came for some advice about
short breath, wheeling and cough

cold" Je zstlsr
''Yes: but how did you know
it?' oG fsrE2ass 5E
'.By these troubles about your
throat and lungs. There il con-

man with low vitality must have
three or four times as much dress
about the legs and feetas young

The Memphis Appeal tells a
touching story of how . mule was
affected at the sight Of q bear. A,
farmer was riding 5 throngh the
near there, mounted ON
descendant of Balaam's asis when
he encountered a black bear. The
bear was astonished, and without
taking time to think, hurried up
scaly black hickory and seated him
self very comfortably on limb,
thirty feet from the ground The
farmer was completely puzzled. If
he rode back to his house to get
his gun the bear would surely es-
cape. He therefore tied the mule,

or fifty years of age, to the body

and a strong leather cable was kept
coiled about his neck. With this
he was fastened to a tree. The

mules head, who had not yet seen
the bear, and dreamed not Of the
proximity of the ugly beast. The
bear decended slowly, till he was
within five feet Of the mules great

stupid, innocent, unsuspecting mule
looked up. He had never seen q
bear before. His knees smote to-

Quirks Of The Law.

The New York Herald of Tues
day 28th ult., says: 3'5#
The uncertainty o. the law has
rarely been more ssrikingly exem-
plified than in the retrial of case
concluded yesterday before Judge
Won Brunt, holding Supreme Co urt
Circuit. The storyi is more than q
"thrice told tale" the facts in the
case having been adjudicated upon
five distinct times In the Courts.
Two years ago Asa +. Cochran
gave S5. 600 to the Adams Express
Company for transmission 10 New
Orleans. TEis package. with other
packageo OF money, amounting to
some twenty five thousand dollars
was placed In an iron safe ON y
steamer. The steamer made tho
trip safely on New Orleans, bu.
very soon after being noored to
the dock was burned and sunk.
Expert Divers explored the burned
debris, but never tound the safe.
Upon suit being brought against
Mr.. Dinsmore, the president Of the
company, to compel the repayment
of tie money lost, il Was ciaimed
that the safe had been stolen from
the steamer while she lay at Hav-
ana; that the theft was the result
OF negligence on the part Of the
agents Of the express company,
and consequently that the lister
was liable. Tue results OF the
trial was the dismisssl OF the case
Mr.. Cochran carried the case to the
Court of Appeals. and this cour,
ordered new trial. The new trisl.
took place and resulted in y YER
dict for Mr.. Cochran. Not sstisH-
ed with this result, the Express
Company carried the case to the
Court OF Appeals. Here the Las,
verdict was reversed. and again
a new trial was ordered. Tbi.

and resulted in 3 verdict for Mr.
