exaggeration, and partly gotten IN bv

horde of ingenious and able men who
will endeavor to play upon the fears of
a nation jealous of its naval position. as.
Great Britain certainly is. Thelast war
with Germany showed that practically
the French fleet was of no use, notwitb-
standing the immense sums Napoleon
had spent upon it. In view of the
enormous cost of these great ornaments
in Europe, would it not be a good idea

AUGUSTA MOORE does not agree with
Lucy Stone, Mrs. Livermore and the
rest of the brave sisterhood who want
women to talk on public questions. She
thinks when mothers speak in meeting
their infants have to suffer with cold
feet and collie. She says many a poor
babe has kicked and cried all night,
keeping IN innocent papa awake, be-
cause its mother felt it her duty to ex-
hort in the conference room or bear her
public testimony to something or other.
This is a pathetic view of the case, GER
tainly, and We give it without indorsal.
Doubtless Mrs. Moore knows Just how
the thing works. But if a mothers
speech gives her child the bellyache it
might be worth the while to inquire
what effect it produces upon adults.
