Hrs. Skinner on woman's Rishts.

Miss President am here TO Day for The
purpose Of discussing woman'' rights.
Asa success, man is a failure, and bless
my stars that my mother was woman.
l not only maintain these principles, but
maintain shiitlcss husband besides.
They Say man vas creates first, S'poin he
was? Amt first experiments always failures
The only decent thing about him WAS rio,
and that went to making something better.
And then they throw it into our face about
Eve taking an apple.
IN bet ave G1nsro tnat Adam boosted her
up the tree, and only gave her The core.
And what did he do when he was found
out?
True 20 his masculine instincts, he sncakcl
behind Ewes Grccian bend and said "rwa'n',
mo-twss her" And woman has had TO
father everything mean since-aud mother it
tool
Whist we want is the ballQ; and the ballot
we're bound to have, If we let down our back
hair and swim in a sanguinsry.
Bring MP your little daughter to love and
caress the ballot, and when they are old aud
scrswuy, they will not part from i.
Teach them that man occupies no position
that woman cannot fll--even 70 pair Of
pants.
Teach them that without the ballot woman
is simply cooking and washing machine
thu. with it she csn just rule her little roost.
Give EN- little ballots to play with.
We have plenty Of ballot girls, but what
we want Il ballot women.
The male creature nov sitting 90 this plat
form, whom the Law compels me to call hus-
band, says have got ballot on the brain.
He says sleep With ballot under my pill
low, and dream that am commandcr-in-chief
Of a large army Of ballots, and am cleaning
out everything that looks ike the male sex
while the band plays,
" See, the conquering hero comeih!'
Such remarks show that man was created
lower than the beast OF the sea, the carrion Of
the air, or the rhinoceros upon the prairies.

The influence Of Kisses.

The kiss has been 4 powerful sgen; in th'
annals Of the human race There have been
kisses like those OF Antony snd Cleopatra, Of
Henry VII and Anne BoleJn, which have
shaken an empire or destroyed religion. II
we knew the secret history Of courts we should
probably learn that nations have been erected
or er.ccd by the magic touches Of woman's
lips. A great problem therefore lies before US.
Has this discovery proved an afiiction or a
blessing 10 mankind? Probably The latter Z;
for it has certainly increased the influence Of
woman. aud the influence Of woman is en-
ployed more for good than br i'll. Beloved,
tender-hearted vomFn, companions and consol-
er, Of our life. With kiss you welcome the
infant 10 the word with kiss you bestov
on .of;-hesrted youths, therspture Of frst love !;
with kiss you alleviate the agony Of death.
And What, alas are the kisses which men too
often give you 10 return? Judas kisses,
tre4cherous and fatal, which poison innocent
hearts, aud turn to curses ou painted and dss-
pairing lips Happy are they who can re-
member withou, remorse the kisses Of their
youth.

A FORTY MILLION LAWSUIT.
The Great Case of Turnbull VS.. Pardee
Decided.
MAUcH CHUNK, Pa,
Tuesday, July "a 1874


The great 100000 900 coal land lawsuit
of Turnbull VS.. Pardee and others, which
has been pending in this State for two
years, has been decided in favor of the de-
PENDANTS, under the provision of the law of
Pennsy yivania governing the gaining of til
tie to land by Treasurer sale for arrears
of taxes.
The question at stake was the title of
several thousand acres of land in lower
Luzerne county, rich in deposits of coal
held by the defendants, and claimed by
James Turnbull, as the heir of Alexander
and James Turnbull deceased. The land
Is III the heart of the coal fields,
and was the property of the Turnbull
family, once prominent in Philadelphia,
long before it was known to contain coal.
The last Turnbull in whom the title rested
was James Turnbull, deceased, father, of
the claimant. He neglected to keep the
taxes on 1t paid, and it was sold at Trea-
surer's sale. The property subsequently
came into the hands of Oris Pardee and
other great capitalists The father of the
plaintiff died in Philadelphia about forty
years ago, before the great value of the
land was known. He left a divorced wife
and the plaintiff, then mere child. Some
time after the death Of his father, young
Turnbuu went to sea. His mother, in
1862, believing that her son was rightful
| owner of the land in Luzerne county, made
efforts to have the claim substantiated. She
found a friend and adviser in 0. II. Wheel
er, Esq, then lawyer in this place. He
shared her belief in the justice of her son s
claim, and recommended an eiectment suit
to recover. 1t being necessary to find the
missing heir before anything could be done,
they commenced search for him. For
twenty years they sought and waited anxi-
ously to hear of his whereabouts Finally,
in 1871, they heard Of him in Mazatlan,
Mexico, He was summoned home, and ar
rived in Philsdel phia early in 1872.
His career had been one of constant dan
ger ard hardship. On his first voyage he
was shipwrccked With eight companions
he foated for nine days on the ocean in an
open boat. 1t was picked up near the Is
land of st. Thomas, with all its inmates
dead but Turnbull. Recovering from this
voyage, he went to Central America, and
in 1910, to California He remained there
year or two and made considerable
money, adhering to resolution he made
when he left hame to touch no intoxicat-
ing drink and never to gamble. Leaving
California, he went to Mexico, engaging in
the construction of canal at Mazatlan
| While there he was robbed several times
and was once left for dead, with twelve
daggers sticking in him, by gang Of Mexi
cans, who robbed him. On the way from
| California to Mexico he was the victim oi
steamboat explosion, in which over a hun
dred were killed, he being one of very
| few who escaped. He was several time:
shipwrecked, but lived to answer the sum
tuens to como home and prove his claim tC
immense wealth. He worked faithfully il
his cause, but takes his defeat philosophi
cally.

The oats crop is now about ripe in

were cut during the close Of last week.
The growth is generally short, or not more
than medium, but farmers say that the
heads are well filed, and there is likely to
be at least an average yield.
