olden memories rushed over Ellen's
brain. An uncomfortable fit of weeping
overcame her, and making her way to
the wagon, she sought refuge behind its
cover, and ordering the driver TO go
ahead, refused to see poor miserable
Peter Dowd or listen to his last good
bye.
Twilight was gathering together the
curtains of darkness as the wagons
moved on. Out upon the broad prairie,
in the open air of heaven, with the
stars cleaning peacefully in the silent
air, the party moved. A few miles from
the home of the desolate man, who had
brought his desolation upon himself,
the little company made their first en-
campment.
The weeks became months, and the
tired, jaded travellers still moved on.
After many privations and hardships
they reached the valley of the Sacra-
mento, having encountered experiences
in their journey that have been so often
told that it is needless to repeat them
here.
In a lovely and romantic valley,
where the adjacent, everlasting Sierras
rear their romantic peaks, or roll them
selves away in the distance enrobed in
evergreens; where grasses wave and
flowers bloom and birds sing songs OF
gladness, Ellen Dowd pitched her tent
and began life anew.
And now, reader mine, her happier
days have indeed come. Many are the
strange vicissitudes which shall yet be
revealed, but you who have pitied hel
hard lot, and almost quarreled with fate
itself because of her sufferings, are now
admonished to possess your souls in
peace and patience.

Progress of Woman's Rights.

Miss Anna Nichols, of Massachusetts,
has recently been appointed assistant
examiner of the Patent Office. The
lady has for some time very creditably
fulfilled the duties of clerk and on the
occasion of some vacancies in the exam
inerships, she was one of several ladies
who competed for places. All the can
didates were subjected to general scien-
tific examination as TO their capabilities
for the position, and four ladies passed
the ordeal with much credit. The Com
missioner, however, concluded to ap-
point only one of them for the present,
as a sort Of experiment.
There are few duties connected with
the operation of the Patent Office but
may be efficiently performed by intelli-
gent women. It is all indoor work,
mostly of q fixed, clerical nature, for
which petticoats are admirably adapted;
and If the Commissioner would make a
more general use of them, he would set
free a large number of pantaloOns TO be
usefnlly employed in developing the
more direct outdoor industries Of the
country, for which men are, by nature,
so especially prepared.
At Canandaigua, in this State, Miss
Susan B. Anthony, who insisted that
she had as good right to vote as any
other man, and who did vote at the last
election, has been tried and, we regret
to say, found guilty, and fined for vio-
lating the law. Judge Hunt decided
that, although women were entitled tO
the general rights Of citizens, there were
certain special privileges which the law
of New York, as it stands, did not give
them, one of which was the privilege oi
voting. The law must, in the opinion
of Judge Hunt, be changed before oul
| feminine fellow citizens can enjoy them.

In the meantime, the Commissions
having wisely decided in favor of the
eligibility Of women as patent examin,
ers, we shall hope to see his decision
sustained and ratified by the appoint
ment of Miss Anthony as his successor
when he shall retire-and that day, W,

as untiring energy and useful capacity
are concerned. She is, undoubtedly

PoIrL.TRY KEEPING FOR WOMEN
There are many women who, especially
within the last half-dOzen years, while
the price of eggs has been SO high, make
money much faster by tending poultry
than by sewing. 1t is an occupation
especially suited to women, because it
involves patience and constant details
rather than strength. Then, again, the
hardest thing for many men to learn,
in handling either poultry or bees, is
gentleness. How many times we have
seen boys, and men with no more sense
than boys, jerk hens roughly from their
nests, enter the poultry houses abruptly
and frighten the occupants till they
rush into the furthest corner, and keep
the poultry community in constant agt-
tation and distress. But all domestic
animals appreciate the manners OF fe-
male attendants, when they are fortu-
nate enough to be cared for by them;
Now there are women gardeners ana
florists who, by eommendable industry
and business qualities, have risen 70
eminence in these callings, ana WnIle
one of the most successful Dee-keePeIs
i'm the world is a woman, we hope 10 see
others give poultry more attention than
IL has hitherto received. Aside from

CHAPTER V.

CHAPTER V.
The railroad spirit had reached the
village of Mackinaw with its exciting
accompaniment Of land speculation.
Buyers, whose resources of wealth were
reported as inexhaustible, began pur-
chasing every available farm in the
county. As Peter Dowd was the larg-
est owner in the township, many were
the bidders for his possessions, but no.
body ever offered him his "price,"
which was always increased five or ten
dollars per acre whenever q new appli-
cant appeared. The woman who had
married him on account Of his wealth
soon found herself mistress Of toll and
poverty instead. The niggardly habits
of which she had apparently cured him
while she had held legal advantage as
his hired help, when both were perse-
cutting Ellen Dowd, returned in double
intensity after their marriage.
No intercourse was permitted by Peter
Dowd between the families. Once only,
during the hard, cold winter that fol-
lowed the divorce and marriage, Polly
escaped from home and sought a secret
interview with the one woman on earth
who of all others might have consist
emily scorned her.

The Line Sharply Drawn,

The line between the two parties is sharp
ly drawn Their policies are as distinct the
one from the other as darkness from light.
On this side all are white men; on that side
there are but few who are not negroes. We
are aiming to retain the State government in
the control of our race. They are aiming to
transfer it to their own and to those who
control their own race. The issue is clearly
defined. The negro votes against the white
man. The white man must therefore vote
against the negro. He who stands on the
black side stands with the black man; he who
stands on the white side stands with the
white man. And there is no middle ground
between them.-Richm0n6 Enlui1t,'

he attempted to justify the proscrptige enact
ments of the Radical Constitution of 1864, by
which thrceiourths Of our citizens were dis

the scenes enacted in Hartford during Radical

and the indignities hcaped upon many of our

THE MASS MEETING ON TUEsDAY.-The
mass meeting in Bel Air on Tuesday was one
of the most enthusiastic gatherings of the
Democracy of the county that we have ever
seen. Onmotion of Henry d. Farnandis, Esq,
Thomas Hope was called to preside, with
George Stephenson and James Heron as
Vice Presidents and Andrew Boyle, Secrc-
tary. Upon taking the chair the venerable
prcsident-now eighty-nine years of age
thanked the meeting for the honor it had con-
ferrcd upon him, and referring to the fact of
his lifelong devotion to Democratic prnci-
Piles, said that he had some time ago made
up his mind to withdraw from active partici
patton in party affairs, but when he saw the
dangers that would inevitably bcfal our coun-
try from Radical triumph, he had once more
buckled on his amor, to fight for the cause
of constitutional liberty
Upon the conclusion ofMr. Hopes remarks
Mr.. Farnandis introduced the Hon. William
L. Hamilton, u. S. Senator from Maryland.
In doing so, Mr.. Farnands alluded to the I'M
avoidable absence of Messrs. Woolford and
Franklin, and said he did not intend to make
speech, but would urge upon all present the
imperative duty of voting for the whole
Democratic ticket, without scratching sim
gle name, and that he himself intended to do
SO.
The speech of Mr.. Hamilton was a master
ly effort. He wildly depicted the outrageous
acts OF despotism that have marked the entire
career of the Republican party, and said II
