calculable good VIC can accomplish.
The qniet and efficient way in which
the women of the whole country re-
deemed the tomb of Washington, aud
gave it to the American people lega-
cy for all time, is proof of what women
can do when they are united and
moved by lofty sentiment. Their
influence North and South during
the late war can hardly be over csti-
mated.
They showed their fidelity ,constanc y
and zeal by their untiring labors. their

There is no doubt that We have the
power to accomplish the great work,

RIGHT Az LAST.


Half century ago planter Of one Of
tho islands of tho West Indias WIS
prompted, by the loss Of II beloved wife
and some property, to sock new home in
the United States, and went TO New Or
leans. Purchasing u square Of ground la
then undeveloped fourth district OF that
city, and building thereon a plain house,
he led thcncoforth = retired life, OF which
little more was known than that a maiden
sister from the West Ini was
his housoLoeper, and that his few
slaves were tho most INDUCED of human
servators. at his death, which occurred
after only fuw years Of residonco, the
estate went by will TO his sister, with the
exception of one lot of ground devised to
deaf and dumb slave woman, for whom,
on account of hor pteOus natural depri-
vations, the humane testator had enter
tanned particular compassion. The hum.
BILE legateo possessed several daughters,
aud the bequost was to DO hers, with her
Freedom, when the oldest OF these had
arrived at a certain age. from the lsitor
provision as 10 time cam9 tho on uing

The sisiorly chicf.inhsrilor OF the estate
sought tho counsel and help Of male
relative, u merchant. in the settlement of
ailairs, and tins man speedily arrogatcd
| the authority o. nh owner. by his chican-
| cry tho haircss WAS made 10 believe that
I tho property was capable at yielding
| scarcely enough for her livelihood, aud hs
did not scruple 10 schomc for the posses
sion Of the legacy loft - Tho deaf aud
dumb woman. Her oldest daughter, who
alono know about her late masters will,
was sold in al other State, while she and
tho remaining children were kept
in Ignorance of thor here-
ditary right. For yoars and years,
rnla,es tho New Orleans 'Bullotin,' this
usurpstiun was maintained N tho great
enrichment Of the usurper. "Tno war
came on, and after the emancipation proc.
lamsIion the daughters and old dumb
mother remained about tho old place n
long time. In 1866 the old slave died
and the three daughters went out as SER
wants. Years passed on and il WAS only
through a gsrrulous old lady who had
been over q quarter of q century before a
witness TO their masters will that they
learned of their ownership OF the ground
and their bondage through fraud. They
have now obtained legal advice, and their
attorneys are preparing to sue the retired
merchant for the land and $50, 900 dam
ages for keeping them in slavery eighteen
years. It Is said that great interest in
their behalf ia shown by some prominent
families up town. Rolling In luxury,
their hard task-msster has laughed at
their demand for the ground, and will
mako no reparation.'

WOMANS RIGHTS IN MICHI-
GAN.

The question of woman suffrage has
assumed political importance in Mich.
igan. In September next, the people
viii vote upon an amendment to the
constitution giving to woman the bal
lot. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is
now stumping the state in favor of the
amendment, but is little too hard on
"the tyrant, man" to accomplish much
good. As it is these same tyrants who
have the power to give the women the
right to vote, they should ex-
ercise little more tact in the manner
in which they proceed to procure the
coveted possession. Instead of placing
m old lady-even handsome old
lady like Mrs. Stanton-on the stump,
they should have secured the services
OF halfa dozen young, bio oming, bright
eyed, red-lipped young women-youug
women who know how TO Aatter and
to coax, who would go about the bust
mess Of getting the ballot In their fin
gers as they would that of getting a
bonnet from their papas, or their yet
in-iove husbands. Pearls of political
wisdom might not drop from their
lips as from those of the sage Mrs,
Stanton, but what is better aud more
% the purpose, drops Of meaningless,
but, to the masculine mind, sweet ant
purssasive honey, would.
The woman suffragists of Michigan
should take Mrs. Stanton down from
the stump. Her tongue has grown
sensible, perhaps, but certainly sour by
axperisnes and years. Let them pu,

via Gatter, not force, men into sayiu,
