Thanks 10 the Ladies.

Women are always doing something good.
Their influence upon the happiness OF man
kind cannot be overestimated Warriors can
, conquer nations, statesmen can influence
"istening senates, and orators who can
guide the populace, have stood dumb and
motionless at the shrine OF woman. Death in
every form the warrior can brave, the nation 5
councils the statesmen can control. the pas
sions Of an audience the orator can arouse or
charm, but the charms of female loneliness
| neither can resist.
Since the little incident in the garden
woman has accomplished many good deeds,
but it has been reserved to the year of our
Lord 1874 for woman to achieve the most
splendid triumph Of her long and useful
career. In reply to a letter from the Pres-
dent Of Womans Right Association Of New
York, Beast Butler writes as follows:
My Dear Wddola-I am sorry to say that l
believe my advocacy Of woman suffrage cost
me five hundred votes in my district, which
was enough to defeat my election But still
do not change my views because others hold
different ones 1 am, yours truly.
BENJAMIN Z. BUTLER.
All thanks to the ladies. Great is their in
fuence upon mans destiny. and vast are their
responsibilities. lis theirs to bend the twig
and give inclination to the tree +; It's theirs to
lnstil into the youthful mind those precepts
and principles which will bear fruit tor good
in after life and tbs theirs to rid the Congress
Of the United States of Ben Butler. The
nuisance had festered in the capitol for many
years. Men loathed and detested it, but were
unsble to remove the obnoxious pest. That
task has been reserved to woman. She gave
her lllstrous hair to sase Carthage from the
devouring torch of the remorseless Romans,
and she has saved America from :n enemy
Still more to be feared. Til" cause of wOman>
rights ha. made many friends sine. it has re-
Gently done 30 much good foy the country.
