Mr.. ECGENE SCuCI LER is one of the few
Americans who can speak the Russian
language. He is also one of the few per-
sors who over received the degree Of
Doctor OF Philosophy from Yale College.
lie is now, or rather he was on the 18th of
August last, in the heart of Turkcstan, ut
the famous city Of Bokhara, enjoying n
climate Of which he writes, during the
heat Of the day in these countries neither
travelling nor ght-sering is possible"
Bokharn has seldom been visited by Eu-
ropcaus. The Government of the Khan
has always endcayorcd to exclude Chris
taus from the country. Mr.. SCuuYLER's
residence there is probably rendered prac-
tcablc solely by the late Russian eXpedi-
ton to the ncghboriug Khanatc Of Khiva.

TO the world, however, since IL has already

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. VAMBERY.
This wcll-known Hungarian explorer
and scholar claims to have travelled to
Bokharu III the guisc of II dcrvish. In ad-
dition to an account OF this journey, he
has published n heightened history OF the
Khanate. Mr.. SCHUYLER, writing from
the spot, pronouuces his books nearly
worthless. II have not been able" he
says, "to make up M mind whether VAM-
EEWY was actually here or not. The errors
are So frequent and great that IL would

For example, NJ. NAMuEEY asserts the

truth is that these so-called fatty-talcd

SIR: As the mission Of The SUN i TO give
hight To ali, please allow Us TO use your columns
To show how a portion II the southern women
stand on the question Of woman suffrage.
Mrs. Westmoreland Of Georgia j. credited 10y
your reporter with saving at the Cougr,ss Of
Women recently held in this city, that II the
papers Of that Congress had been read in the
south IL would 80 rouse the women there that
they would not be quiet until they had the
ballot
Now we heard those papers read. and venture
10 say that whatever their effect upon the
women OF Georgia, the most siker-tongued fe-
male orator misnt proclaim them through the
length and hreAdth Of South Carolina, and we
,Ic proud to know that 10 would not move the
women there tu demand the ballot.
Women suffrage meets with no favor IN that
state. An attempt has been made there hy
some Northern women, aided by some culured
ones, to get mp such movement but. So far as
the Genuine woman ut south Carolina r. con-
cerned u nas proved a complete failure.
We, the women ut South Carolina, do not de
mand the ballot; let this be put down for or
asalust us ~ Ielple may think. We are ttis-
He'd that our fathers, husbands, and brothers
should guide the snip Of state, believing that
To do. We are in crested IN every project that
has for It's object the moral and Intellectual adj
yanccmeut II woman. CA this serene height
We plant our feet and look down from our cle-
vation wth wondering pity on those women
VINO are mady struE-,lug to plunge into the
seething' turbId water of political lie.
