Local Option in MonteoitO.

Local Option was victorious in Monte
eito, Out the vote was close, the majority
consisting OF only one. \ number of
ladles went from Santa Barbara to as
sist IN the election; and the Santa Bar
para saloon interests were also repre-
sented, 4 delegation of liauor-dealers
ana their supporters going down in the
morning and remaining all day. Demi-
Jons, stone jugs and bottles were omen
iy displayed throughout the election.
and liquor seemed TO be freely distrih-
uted. The Local Optionists had table
spread under broad, overshadowinp
oak tree, from where they supplied their
hungry and thirsty friends with the
better offerings of tea, coffee, and va
riety of edibles.
y few of the ladies labOred earnestly;
but most of them seemed afraid of the
work they had undertaken. Embracing
our privilege of having one day of free
dom when the bars of society were let
down, and we We're allowed, on account
of the urgency OF Temperance, to go out
and talk to our fellOw-m man, indiScrimi-
nately, face to face, we ventured into n
little earnest talk. This was for what
we had come. But Immediately our
friends were alarmed. One pulled us by
the sleeve, and another drew US by the
and begged Us to retire to
among the women under the tree, lest
if we talked with these men we should
be insulted. Now, we don't like petit
tiOning men for their votes. In this we
humble ourself. We are of right citi-
zen of the Republic, and it is not our
place TO come in supplicatiOn to others
TO do for us what we should do for our
self But we did like to 90 out into the
crowd and speak with those who were
upholding and advancing what we be-
lieved to be wrong. Wherever human
ity is there is our place. Wherever
there is work there let us 90. The
world is our sphere. The ladies who
went to the polls to gather beneath the
tree, huddled behind the protecting
of each other from contact with
the rude world, did not need us. They
were exalted beyond our power to inn
prove. o women, sisters, we know no
boundaries within whose limits alone
we must lift our voice. In the purlieus
of the city, in gamblers hells, in the
places of drunkenness, in the haunts of
prostitution, wherever man is, wherever
woman is, wherever vice is to be re-
formed, error to be corrected, despair to
be encouraged, hope to be inspired, there
is our place, and there would we 20,

The Leisure Time Of BoYs.


/ We would suggest, to the many par
ents who are perplexed with the diff
Guilty of finding the wherewithal TO
amuse and interest their boys, to give
their lads every possible opportunity OF
acquiring mechanical trade. The in
dustry and ingenuity of q boy Of average
ability may easily be made 10 furnish
him with neyer-failing source of
amusement of the best order. The boy
who can produce or make something al
ready begins to feel that he is somebody
in the world, that achievement of a re-
suit is not a reward reserved for grown
people only. And the education of
mind, eye and hand, which the use of
tools and mechanical appliances fur
nishes, is of great and real value, be-
yOnd the good resulting from the occu-
patton of leisure time. Having nothing
to do Is as great snare to the young as
it is to the full grown; and no greater
benefits can be conferred on youths
than to teach them TO convert time now
wasted, and often worse than wasted,
into pleasant means of recreation and
mental improvement. The boy, whose
time and mind are now occupied with
marbles and kites, may be a Watt,
Morse, or Bessemer in embryo; and it
is certainly an easy matter to turn his
thoughts and musings into a channel
which shall give full scope to their
faculties. And to most boys the use of
mechanical tools is the most fascinating
of all occupations. As logic and math-
ematics have value beyond accuracy
in argument and the correct solution of
problems, in that they teach men the
habit of using their rejecting powers
Systematically, so carpentry, turning
and other arts of high Importance
These occupations teach boys to think,
to proceed from initial causes to results,
and not only to understand the nature
and duty of the mechanical powers, but
to observe their effects, and to acquire
knowledge by actual experiment, which
Is the best way of learning anything.
All the theories culled out of books
leave an impress on the mind aud mem
ory, which is slight compared To that OF
the practical experience of the true
mechanic. Our advice iSlStO all who
have the great responsibility of the
charge of boys: Give them a lathe, or a
set of carpenters or even biacksmith's
tools. Give their mind Il Turn toward
the solid and useful side of life. You
will soon see the result in increased
activity of their thinking capabilities,
and the direction of their ideas toward
practical results; and, still more obvi-
ously, in the avoidance of idle mischief
and nonsense Ito omit all reference to
absolute wickedneSs and moral degrada-
tom, which are, to too great an extent,
the pastinle of the generation which is
to succeed us.-ScieHtiGc american.

A Monument to New England Mothers

/ The Duston statue on ContoOeOOk Is.
| land, near Concord, y. H, unveiled or
I the 18th inst. and presented to the State
of New Hampshire through the Gov.
ernOr and his council, is a fitting conf
memoratiOn of the bravery OF the "New
/ England Mothers" The statue is Ot
granite and the work OF Wm. Andrews
of Lowell, Mass. 1t represents woman,
the figure being = feet high, holding a
tOmahawk in one hand, and in the other
| the scalps of slain Indians. The statue
costs SG,OO0-S4, 600 Of which are already
obtained, and it is expected that the
Massachusetts Legislature will vote ST.
600 towards it, and that the remaining
$1,000 will be readily raised in New
Hampshire. The happy thought Of rem
dering this enduring tribute to the he
role act of one of the many heroic women
that the perils and trials of early New
England life developed, originated with
Rev. DIR. BoutOn, of Concord, and Mr..
Robert B. Caverly, a lawyer, of Lowell.
The facts which history gives relating
to the event cOmmemorated are as fol-
lows;
On the 18th of March, 1857, Mrs. Anna
Duston was taken captive at Haverhill,
Mass, with l. others, and carried from
there to ContoOcoOk Island, y. H., where
lutl diliNtu oii lilt Outl va tue same
month. Mrs. DustOn, after consultation
with her maid, Mary Neff, and young
boy named Samuel LeonardsOn, who
were among the captured, got up in the
night and killed ten Indians, took their
scalps and brought them to Boston,
where she met Cotton Mather near the
State House, and to whom she exhibited
the 10 scalps, tOmahawk and an In
dian gun which they secured in their
flight. The General Court at once voted
Mrs. Duston e25 and eI2 to her maid,
and similar amount to the boy. The
Governor of Maryland then sent these
brave women presents, and, in fact, gifts
came pouring in from all parts of the
country. Forty years afterward the
General Court again showed their ap-
probation of the unparalleled act of
bravery, and voted to Mrs. Duston's de-
scendants some farms. On the day that
Mrs. DustOn was captured, the Indians
killed p of the inhabitants of Haver-
hill, burned nine dwelling houses, and
killed Mrs. DustOn's infant against a
tree. This was the time when civiliZa-
tion quivered in the scale, and when our
ancestors first began to learn that there
were blows to take as well as blows TO
give, and that began to turn back the
tide. Mrs. Duston was q daughter of
Massachusetts, and for that reason the
Legislature should give careful consid-
Grafton to the appeal for 200 TO help
establish this tribute TO the New Eng
land mothers.

True Economy Of Life.

The true economy Of human life looks
at ends rather than incidents, and adj
justs expenditures To a moral scale of
values. The real wastes of life are not
those men who prate about most volu-
bly, and condemn I'm censoriOus tones.
DE Quincy pictures i woman sailing
over the water, but awakening out of
sleep to find her necklace united and one
end hanging i'm the stream, while pearl
after pearl drops from the string beyond
her reach; while she clutches at one just
falling another drops beyond recovery.
Our days drop one after another by our
carelessness, like pearls from a string,
rs we sail the sea of life. Prudence re-
quires wise Outstanding of time to see
that none OF these golden coins are spent
for nothing. The waste of time is a
more serious loss than the extrava-
gances against which there is such loud
acclaim.
Here are thousands who do nothing
but lounge and carOuse from morning
till midnight, the drones in the human
hive, who consume and waste the honey
honest workers wear themselves out i'm
making, and insult the day by their
dissipation and debauch. Here are ten
thousand idle, frivolous creatures, who
do nothing but consume and waste and
wear what honest hands accumulate,
and entice others to live rs useless and
worthless as themselves. Were every
man and woman honest toilers, all
would have an abundance of everything
and half of every day for recreation and
culture. The expenditure of a few dol
lars for articles of taste is a small mat
ter i'm comparison with the wasting of
months and years by thousands who
have had every advantage society could
offer, and exact every privilege it af-
fords rs a Neutrality-suspicious.

\ HINT To PEDAGOGUEs. 1t will do
teachers no harm to read this paragraph
from the School:
"As an editor of a village paper, I
have had ample opportunity to note
what the public schools are doing i'm be-
half of these few simple, but very i'm
pOrtant elements of n good English
education-orthography, penmanship,
punctuation, and the minor niceties Of
tetter-writing, and in preparing COM
municatiOns for the press. OF my own
three children, respectively twelve, fif-
teen and seventeen years of age, not one
of them has acquired in school compe-
tent knowledge of these things. re-
peatedly inspect their compositions, and
always find them defective in these par
ticulars. After finishing what they
have to say on one topic, they are al
most sure to begin another subject on
the same line, and sometimes with a
small letter. The fact is, their teacher
himself ,and probably those before HIM,
is ignorant of punctuation, composition
and kindred branches of n good English
education. This | found by receiving
from him, for publication, a cOmmuni-
cation of seven foOlscap papers in
length, written on both sides, in Il
cramped school-bOy hand, with numer-
Gus errors i'm orthOgraphy and the use of
CAPITALS, and without Il break, paragraph

the advantages of common schools i'm

BURNING THE CANDLE OF LIFE AT
BOTH ENDs.-The deadliest foe to mans
longevity is an unnatural and unreason-
able excitement. Every man is born
with certain stock of vitality, which
cannot be increased, but which may be
expended rapidly or husbanded, as lie
deems best. Within certain limits he
has his choice, to live abstemiously or
intensely, TO draw his little amount OF
life over large space, orcOndense it into
q narrow one; but when his stock is ex-
hausted he has no more. He who lives
abstemiously, who avoids all stimulants,
takes light exercise, never overtasks

material, has no debilitating pleasure,

Women as Soldiers.

The ambitious women who are always
striving to enter new fields of labor and
signing for new worlds to conquer, have
to thank Mr.. Justice Mott, of the Court
OF Claims, for an idea. That gentleman,
in recent opinion delivered upon the
application of Mrs. Lockwood to be adj
mitted to practice as an attorney, said {:
IL have been ut the bar and in the mill
tary service, aud my experience leads
me TO the conclusion that women are rs
well fitted for the one as the other"
Modern innovations, according TO JUS
tice Mott, have done much to bring
down many occupations heretofore sup
posed to belong exclusively to men
within the reach of women, but in
nothing have they done this so much
as in the art of war. In the hand-tO-
hand conflicts of antiquity women were
manifestly unable 10 cope with the
physical natures Of men, and from ne
eessity were exempt. But hand-tO-hand
conflicts are as obsolete as the wager of
battle. The light breech-loading car
bine demands activity as well as strength.
Said Mr.. Mott, again: "WOman, as q
soldier, would have little to do besides
marching and shooting, and being shot.
It is said that n well-bred, intelligent,
honest woman will make 4 better attor-
ney than an ignorant, vicious, unscrupu-
lous man. This is true; but it is equal
ly true that healthy, active woman
will make q better soldier than de
crepit man. Some considerations of
public policy also intervene in favor of
the latter course"
1t is very likely that the suggestion
embodied herein will be adopted. The
strongest arguments the opponents Of
the ballot for women now have in their
quiver is the supposed inability of
woman to bear arms-an argument, by
the way, which bases suffrage OF brute
strength and its worst exercise. But
here comes along n soldier and a judge
who testiiies that woman can Use the
needle-gun as well rs the needle, and if
any proof of her physical powers are
needed, surely it is furnished 10y that
mysterious female who has just tramped
