what Every Lady will Read.

A London correspondent says: Wo-
man as a voter is an accomplished fact
in England. Every woman who occu-
pies dwelling in any city or town of
England, Ireland, Wales or Scotland
has vote for alderman, and town Off
GERS in general. Under Mr.. Forster's
new act, in England widows and spin
stsrs who pay rates have votes in the
election of school boards. In ireland,
every woman who pays any sum as poor
rate has a vote in the election Of poor
guardians. 1t is said that the women
exercise these rights heartily, and in
many cases where ssloon-keepers repre-
septed the wards Of cities in municipal
position they we're signally defeated by
the votes of the women. In London, as
is well known, Mrs. Gauitt Anderson,
NJ. D., is one Of the most useful men,
bers Of the school board, and the same
is true Of Miss Becker, Of Manchester.
The right Of suffrage seems TO have been
conferred on the principle that where
women pay . tax for any object they
shall have the right to voice IN the dis
position Of the funds"

LOVELY PEGGY.

THE following verses are of interest as a
Touthful production of President Jefferson
re printed in the Historical Record. from the
riginal manuscript in the possession ofF. J,
)reer, of Philadelphia
Once more I'll tune the vocal she'll,
To hills and dales my passion tell,
A fame which time can never quell,
That burns for lovely Peggy.
The greater bards the Tyre should hit.
For, say, what subject is more iit.
Than to record the startling wit
And bloom Of lovely Peggy?
The sun first rising in the morn,
That paints the dew-besparkled thorn,
DOes not so much the day adorn,
As does my lovely Peggy.
And when in Thetis' lap to rest,
He streaks with gold the ruddy west.
He's not so beautiful as, nndrest'
Appears my lovely Peggy.
Were she arrayed in rustic weed,
With her the bleating focks | d feed,
And pipe upon my Oaten reed,
To please my lovely Peggy.
With her cottage would delight,
ALPS happy when she's in my sight,
But when she's gone it s endless night
All's dark without my Peggy.
The zephyr's air the violet blows.
Or breaths upon the damask rose,
He does not halft the sweets disclose,
That does my lovely Peggy.
While bees from fow'r to fow'r shall rove,
And linnets warble through the grove,
Or stately swan the waters love,
So long shall love Peggy.
And when Death, with his pointed dart,
Shall strike the blow that rives my heart,
My words shall be when depart:
Adieu. my lovely Peggy.

COMING TO A Focus.-The Z. S.
Supreme Court in the case Of O!cott vs.
Fon du Lac county, Wis, recently held
that "a railroad is a public highway
which may be regulated as to manage
ment, tariff Of rates, ETC., by legislative
authority, and that taxation in aid Of
its continuation is legislative author
ity."
We want tho Court to go just one
step further, aud determine whether
railroad ha wing special charter is sub
ject to legislative d;ctation, notwith-
standing the terms Of the co"truc. by
which its construction was authorized.
That is now the point ut issue.

from the people, because, to compensate
itself, Congress appropriated 81, 800

lie Is now in his fourth year Of SER
vice as Treasurer Of Mower county
aud one Of tho most faithful, coupe
tent, and popular mon to be found in
the State. Mr.. 1rgeus is less than forty
years Of age, Scandinavian BY birth,
a gentleman Of education, aud an hon.
cst man. lie il a recognized leader
among those Of his nationality aud is
esteemed BY all who know him.
1t has always been part Of the
policy Of parties to recognize the differ
cnt classes OF foreign-born citizens, and
the evident justice Of 50 doing is ad-
mitted by all. Such course is the
only one calculated to eradicate distinc-
tions based upon tho accident Of birth
and to practically illustrate the equality
Of American citizenship. 1t is. there
fore, presumed that no modification Of
this rule is contemplated in the ap-
preaching election. Justice and safety
alike forbid any departure from rule
Of such ancient and uniform appliaa
ton. go &c.:
An extended acquaintance With the
Scandinavian aud the Swedish elements
justi6es the expectation that they will
be nearly unanimous in their support Of
Mr.. lrgens, and, in such an event, the
duty Of the party would seem to be
clear, and it is certainly a most fortu.
nate circumstance that eminent fitness
Is so thoroughly combined with char.
acter in the gentleman whose nam, v c
propose. We confidently expect that
he will be the next State Treasurer.
