ORUMB OF COMFORT.

The Democratic press, amid its many
dolorous disappointments, gets up faint
grimacesO of facetiousness because the Re
publican party fails to keep its contracts
with the 'goyal women of the country"
It does seem very hard to get clear
Idea through the Democratic mind. We
have told this party of fossil ideas over
and over again that wedo not expect the
Republican party to enfranchise wOm-
Ell because its desire to be consistent;
we expect it because it shall become
with them political necessity. 1t will
enfranchise women just as it did the ne
gro, not because it wants to but be-
cause il must. We shall hereafter re-
joice at every Democratic victoy, be-
cause all such will hasten the women's
day. We are not partisan, but Re
publican on Democratic principles, just
as We have ever been.
We believe in representation of the
people, By the people. Intrinsically,
there is little difference between the alb
stract ideas of Republicanism and De-
mocracy. Both mean, or ought to mean
free government, self-government, lib
erty. Both parties practically ignore
their true meaning, but the Republican
party is ahead, and to it we look, in the
future, as in the past, for women's en-
franchisement, because the masses COM
posing the DemOcEaticpa are not yet
educated up to the idea that to be sue
cessful they must be progressive. The
great mass Of Republicans are progress
i've, but the present incumbents Of inn
portant offices must see the guillotine
ready to descend upon their devoted
necks before they will yield another
inch TO justice.

CHINESE WOMEN One of the great
est failings in the character of the Chin
ese is want of respect for women; and
the main defect in their unique and Won
derful civilization, and indeed the chief
hindrance of their progress to a more
enlightened life, is the want of her in
fuence in shaping and controlling the
sentiments and customs of Chinese So
ciety. She has no social position or in
fiuence. Her condition is but one step
above that Of slave. She is regarded,
as she is, in fact, fool for mans pleas
ure and convenience, and as greatly in
ferior to him in all respects. She is not
cultivated in our sense Of the term.
Her face is utterly blank of intelligence
and refinement Very rarely, indeed,
is that chaste and delicate feeling, and
tender, thoughtful sentiment, which is
the crOwning glory of the women of
America, seen sleeping in her features,
or flashing from her eyes, or sparkling
from her lips; but the whole contour
and expression of her face is painfully
stOlid and repulsive, and has in il more
OF the type of animal than the angel.

OLD PLAsTER.-A correspondent of
the Maine FdTHer speaks of a man who
had some old plaster which he had re-
moved from the walls Of his house, and
pounded it as fine as he could, then
sifted it and sewed it on his rye field.
The result was a very large crop of
grain, and the next year heavy growth
Of grass. His argument was that the
plastering on the walls of dwellings alb
sorbed the gases and steam which were
given from the kitchen, sleeping rooms,
etc, and that it thus acquired fertilizing
properties of great value, in addition to
whatever benefit might accrue from the
lime, hair, etc, of which ii was COM
posed. He also alluded to the statement
that in China people would put on new
plastering for the old which they took
off, so highly was old plastering prized
there for agricultural purposes.

The Sampson Of Newport.

A writer in the Providence (R. IT, Star
says: There is living in this city a man
quite as remarkable for his muscular pow
ers as was he who in olden times bore off
on his shoulders the gates of GAIA. When
a youth he was wont to shoulder barrel
of -four with his feet inside peck mea-
sure. On one occasion, on Stevens wharf,
as result of a banter that he could not
shoulder an anchor weighing $50 pounds,
he raised it to his shoulders, carried it up
Bannister's wharf, up four steps into the
United States hotel (west door, carried it
through, down one step, out Of the south
door, down the wharf, back again,
and deposited it on the scales for
weighing. The distance he carried
it must have been from 300 to
400 yards. The feat was considered so
remarkable that it was placed upon the
town records, where it may now be seen
BY any who may be incredulous. On
another occasion dozen men were tug
gng at hogshead of nolasses lying on
its bilge, endeayoring to place it on end,
when he ordered them aside and ended it
up alone. Though now 81 years old. he
is ready at any time on wager to lift to
his shoulder barrel of -four. The same
man (he is an out-and-out teetotler now
has been known to stand at the bar of the
old Park House and drink thirty-two
glasses of liquid without turning round.
On one occasion he says that he and
another man, making "a night of it," sat
down to half q barrel of beer, and drank
it all up before morning. Yet no person
ever saw this man in the gutter; not
even stagger from the effects Of his
rotations. 1t was his boast in his
younger days that he could out-lift and
out-drink any man in Rhode Island.
The reader may think that in the dearth
of "itemso we have been stringing to-.
gether bunch of Munchausen tales for
our and their amusement; but the man is
still living, and there are those among us
who will verify the statements above
made. ~

A capital idea is prevalent in England
manifested by the encouragement of grow.
ing flowers for window gardens, and the
award oil prizes at annual exhibitions. We
have nothing of this character yet among
the American flower lovers, although the
taste for window gardening has grown so
fast here as already to amount to an en-
thusasfn. An English paper gives a
happy account of an annual exhibition of
flowers and plants grown BY the working
classes of Edinburgh, in windows, back
greens, areas, and city garden plots,
held in the Grassmarket corn exchange,
Edinburg. The products sent in for COM
petition presented such a marked improve
ment and increase in numbers over those Of
the two preceding years, as should induce
not only the promoters of this philanthro.
pic movement to go on perseveringly
in extending taste for flowers and flower
culture among the artizans of the Scottish
capital and their children, but to show an
example well worthy of imitation in other
towns by those who have the means Of
fostering love for the instructive, human
izing, and elevating pastime of flower
growing among. their less opulent neigh
bors.
Before distributing the numerous
awards, the chairman, DR.. Balfour, pro-
fessor of botany, said he had to congratu-
late the meeting on this most successful
show. The committee had examined the
articles sent in for competition, and they
had unanimously declared it to be one Of
the best shows they have seen. This year
they had about 100 more competitors than
last. The improvements in the keeping Of
orr ovl
remarkable. He was delighted to
see the working classes taking SO
much interest in plants. 1t was
natural to man to do so. His exist
ance as worker began in the garden;
whether in health or in sickness, flowers
and plants afforded him a solace and de-
light. He believed the culture of flowers
had most humanizing influence, and even
in tho most crowded parts of the city they
would spring up: and where they were
carefully tended. they could not fail to
have an excellent effect on the temper,
conduct and life of those who bestow on
them their care. He hailed this
as most suspicious occasion, and
he was delighted to see that the whole coll
lection was remarkably good. Some Of
the plants here, even those cultivated by
Juveniles were equal to what they would
find in the Botanical Garden. The collec-
ton Of John Haseltine, embracing 200
plants, well grown, delicate in form, rich in
color, was really wonderful. The window
frames were admirable, great taste being
shown in the contrast of color, and in the
training of the plants. The committee ap-
pointed to visit the areas reported that they
were this year greatly improved, all owing
to this movement. -Horficutuyist.
