Committee was certainly in favor of
what the people called the Civil Rights
Bill, and read extracts supporting his
position from the address in question.
Judge Houk's remarks were listened
to attentively, and when time was
called, yielded the stand to his com.
petitor, who commenced his
REJoINDER
by stating that lie had not the time or
inclination to act the clown, but was
there for graver matters, and appealed
to his audience if he had been fairly
represented by Judge Houk in his
extracts read by that gentleman dur
ing the course of his remarks. Twice
he had been elected to Office and had
been legislated out by the Democrats,
which didn't look much like aflilis-
ton, though he was gratitied ut having
received the support of political OPP
poGents, who nevertheless had con
fidence in his impartiality and inleg-
rity.
His record a. Republican was unim-
peachable, and in proof read his letter
of acceptance of the candidacy for
Attorney General, dated July s, 1870,
addressed to the committee notifying
him of his having been endorsed by a
Conservative Convention.

What is woman's sphere? Perhaps it is
TO collect postage stamps. Two years ago,
a young woman who lives in "A town in
Connecticut, while she was lying awake
at that hour of the morning when Beecher
is TO think up his sermons, was suddenly
struck with the noble scheme of collecting
million of postage stamps. When she got
up she impaired the secret to friends. and
expressed the opinion that she could get
together that number of stamps by the ex>
piration oftwo years. To encourage this
magnificent industry, they promised her
ponies, phaetons, new dresses, diamonds,
and other articles without which the life of
young woman is but bowling wilder
ness, and she began her work under a slim
illus the like of which, applied TO some
persons, might have set them to moving TO
tho Rocky mountains. In three months,
it is now said her task will be completed,
and she will take those phaetOns, etc. Her
present accumulation amounts to nine hun
dred thousand stamps, and triumph is Ger
tain. Very likely her own sweet CORES,
pondence contributed much TO her success
by bringing her hundreds Of them. If
some young man in Connecticut will now
set about the work of accommodating seven
teen millions Of cigar stumps within year
and a half, he will deserve TO be married
TO that young woman the moment he has
completed his work
