ing in their first thinking years how
ridiculous their parents had made them
by styling them Napoleon Bonapart?
OF course, they wrote their initials, and
then were perpetually mortified to hear
themselves called Nota Bene Virgins,
or Take Notice Simpson. Boys bubbling
over with animal spirits, and fond Of
adventure, have doubtless been driven
to vicious extremes by having John
Calvin or John Knox tackled to their
patronymios. The entire law of their
being prevented from initiating those
ascetic theologians, and SO they deliber-
tely became profligate from contradic-
ton and froma vague sense of the wrong
that had been put upon them. l have
known Melancthons and Wilberforces
to be thieves, and Solomons and Solons
to be circus clowns; and Imake no ques-
tion but the former went in disgust to
the opposite extreme, or that tho latter
were resolved to caricature the ancient
sages by becoming the melancholy
70 fools.-Gatary.

But shall we have more settled weathe.
Those fleecy clouds, on high that wing.
Can weep like Niobe's sal daughters:
And We perchance may find the Spring

And pray, give back the watering-pei

SENATOR SUMNER AND THE RIGHT OF
WOMEN TO VoTE. We find the fol-
lowing in the Rochester Erpress's report
OF speech by Susan b. Anthony, de-
livered in that city recently:
'When, in 1871, asked the Senator
(Mr. Sumner) to protect women in their
right to vote-as he had done for the
black men-he handed me a copy of all
his speeches during that reconstruction
period, and said: Miss Anthony, put
Sex where have race or color and
you have here the best and strongest
argument can make for woman. There
is not doubt but women have the con-
sltutional right to vote. and will new
er vote for sixteenth amendment to
guarantee it to them. voted for both
the fourteenth and fifteenth under pro-
test; would never have done it but for
the emergency; would have insisted that
the power of the original Constitution
to protect all citizens in the equal en-
joyment of their rights should have been
vindicated through the Courts. But the
newly freedmen had neither the intel
hgence, wealth nor time 10 wait that
slow process. Women possess all these.
and insist that they shall appeal to the
couIts, and through them establish the
powers of our American magma charta.
to protect every citizen of the republic
Senator Sumner said:
Qualifications cannot be in their ma
ture permanent or rinsurmountable.
Sex cannot be qualification any more
than size, race, color, or previous CON
dltion OF servitude. A permanent or
qualification is e0liy-
alent to deprivation of the suffrage.
In other words it is the tyranny of tax
alton without representation, against
which our revolutionary mothers as well
as fathers rebelled.'
We have never before seen anv precise
or explicit statement of Mr.. Sumner
opinion upon this question.
Miss Anthony is canvassing Monroe
county, in which Rochester is situated
with great vigor, her engagements com
prising every day in the week.
The Express says that her lecture in
Rochester was given under the auspicc,
of the inspectors who registered the
names and received the votes OF Miss. An
thony and her associates last fall
The young men (says this paper)
were called to decide whether
to except or reject these votes, and
acting upoT their best Judgment con-
scieutiouslv received and counted
them. In this they did no criminal act,
and the presence OF so large and in
telligent body of people at the lecture
shows that their fellow citizens regard
their conduct i'll the matter with ap-

Lavander Culture.

Comparatively few persons are aware
to how large an extent the culture OF
lavender, for commercial purposes, is
carried on within Il radius of thirty
miles from London. In the county of
Surrey alone there are nearly three
hundred and fifty acres of land devo-
ted to its growth, and the total extent
of the lavender fields in the London
district cannot fall farshort of five hun
dred acres. When three years old, the
plant is ut its best; and when it
reaches the age Of seven years, ii has
made so much wood that it is the
most profitable to uproot it and set Il
fresh plant. The harvest-time depends
much on the state of the weather, but
it usually commences about the first
week in August. The flowers are cut
with Il sickle, bound up in small
sheaves, and Immediately carried to
the distillery. There the stalks are
cut Off, leaving but little more than
oil, afterwards extracted, is much i'm
proved, though the quantity of the oil
is sensibly diminished. Much care is
needed on the part of those who ham
die the sheaves in the distilling house

bees which remain attached to the
flowers. The temperance, industry,
and providence Of these insects are
proverbial; yet their behavior in the
lavender fields, especially towards the
end of the season, when the flowers
are fully developed, cannot be too Sc
verely reprobated. So careless are
they of the good reputation they have
earned that they refuse to leave their
luscious feast even when it is laid on
the trimming bench, and hundreds are
thrown into the still, nothwithstand-
ing the efforts to dislodge them, in
state of helpless intoXication. When
the oil is first distilled, it has a em-
pneumatic odor, but by being kept in
bottles for twelve months it loses
much of its harshness. 1t is still,
however, unfit to he used as a perfume
in its natural state. In order to con-
vert the essential oil into what is
known as lavender-water, it is mixed
with from twenty to forty times its
bulk in spirit, and with just trace of
neroli, or other essential oil, according
to the taste of the compounder. Har-

"0ne by One the Roses FALL"

John II. Stewart, postmaster at
Pittsburgh, Penna., is detaulter in
the sum of 5000. a correspondent
of the New York Xer0ld discloses
some facts in regard to the criminal
neglect of this member of the bread
and-butter brigade, which we give
below:
If was found that he was paying his
employees u less salary than the sum
for which he filed vouchers at Wash
ington and swore were correct. He
also placed upon his pay-Iolls and paid
out of. the government funds persons
who were not employed III the office
at all and who rendered no service OF
any kind or character. Among these
may be mentioned Il clerk at livery
stable who received regular quarterly
payments as II clerk ut the rate of ST.
800 per annum. A daughter of for
mcr postmaster also drew regularly Il
handsome salary, for which no service
whatever was rendered. On taking
possession of the Office Mayor Pather
bridge made Il demand on Colonel
Stewart for the money in his posses
sion. Then il was discovered that the
postmaster had never made any de-
posits in the United States depository.
but that he had kept his accounts in
two banks.
No one can imagine what Colonel
Stewart did with the vast amount OF
money he is known to have taken. 1t
is said he was lavish in his contribu-
tions to the expenses Of the Republican
party, and only recently came down
handsomely for the entertainment OF
Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheridan
and others ON the occasion of the re-
union of the Society of the Army of
the Cumberland lie had the reputa-
ton Of being Il "deuced clever fellow"
and he put up without stint for every
administration display that was made.
His Office was the resort of Republican
bummers, who drank with him and
borrowed from him, and who are now
the loudest in his condemnation. To
GET this man i'm position as Il reward
for his services to the administration,
to retain his influence among Il certain
class of voters, an old and most worthy
citizen, against whose personal integ-
rity there rested no solitary blot, was
suspended. McClelland, the person
alluded to, was not an active partisan
and not vigorous enough to give q
strong hand to the running OF the po-
litical machine. He was laid on the
shelf and Il good, sound radical, who
fairly worshiped the sphinx. ut Wash
ington, put in his stead. The charge
and it attending circumstances speak
volumes.
