many women would not rejoice to get a

such men expect wives TO keep warm

Such men are fit creatures TO ADVISE

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE BRITISH
PARLIAMENT.-The bill introduced into
the British Parliament, and known as
the Forsyth Bill, has passed to its see
Ond reading, and is likely TO become a
law. The bill provides that unmarried
women shall exercise the right Of fran
chise, being otherwise qualified, which
meets with much opposition from the
married women who are prominent in
the advocacy Of Woman Suffrage. The
friends and supporters OF the bill, how
ever, defend its provision on the ground
that married women do not possess
residential and property qualifications
similar 10 those emitting men to vote"
Prominent Woman Suffrage Societies
in England have passed resolutions i'm
support of the bill, and il is said that
two hundred and thirty members of
Parliament have pledged themselves to
support IT, The bill will be read the sec
ond time on the 22d OF June, and a
strong effort will be made to place il on
its final passage.

LudicrouS Scene in a Pulpit.

A South German paper relates
the following: In q Bavarian town
of the most pronounced Catholic
orthodoxy, the priest preached
lately against the old Catholics.
and related such horrible things
about them that his pious hearers
were literally horror-strickcn at
Old Catholic impietics. At last
the preacher cried out: "Thc Old
Catholics are so vile that they will
all be cast into the pit. and if what
| tell you is not true may the devil
take me now on the spot!" His
excitement was SO terrible, and he
so struck the cushion that the book
fell from 1t. Not far from the pull
pit there sat an American, who
had a negro servant with him, to
whom he beckoned to take up the
book to the priest, who, perhaps,
had never seen one of these sons
of Ham in his life. The negro at
once obeyed, and as he mounted
the lowest of the pulpit steps, the
clergyman repeated his wish that
the devil might como and take him
if what he said was not true. AL.
though the negro went softly the
preacher heard his footsteps, and
turning round, saw a black object
solemnly, steadily and surely APP
preaching him. He looked at him
with terror, and believing that he
would be the next instant collarcd
by his Satanic Majesty, he cried
out, with trembling voice, "It is,
after all, possible that there may
be good people amongst the Old
Catholics" Turning then round
to see if the object had disappear.
