women's State Temperance Con-
VanffAn

A State convention of the Christian
temperance women of Vermont is call
ed to be held at Montpelier, on Wednes'
day, Feb 18th, 1875, at 9 O'Clock A. NJ,
This is in compliance with the plan
adopted by the Women's National Tenn
perance Convention held in Ohio in
November last. In towns where there
are no temperance organizations it is de-
sired that the churches should manifest
their interest and cooperation in send
ing delegates to the convention. Each
temperance society is invited to send five
delegates, and towns where churches are
represented three delegates each. The
call is signed by Mrs. j. M, Haven of
Rutland, vice president of the Women's
National Temperance Union, and all the
christian temperance women of the
State are urgently solicited to attend
this convention without further notice.

For several days last week, the House
was in continuous session day and night
trying to arrive at vote on the civil
rights bill, but were prevented by dila-
tory and filibustering motionsby the DEM
ocrats, who are opposed to allowing the
majority to rule. This spectacle is rath-
er fine thing for the country just at
this time when so much tenderness has
been excited for the conservatives
about the twill of the majority" The
utter hypocrisy of this pretension has
been thus exploded at much earlier
date than any one could have anticipat-
ed, and that too, by the :" conservatives y
themselves.

"TeIl IL An"

We have, at last, examined copy of
that most extraordinary work of which
upwards Of thirty thousand copies have
been sold to the present time, and which
has excitedso much genuine interest and
attention in all sections of the country.
We allude to Mrs. T. b. H. Stenhouse's
new book, entitled, Tell it All" 1t is
with great pleasure that we hail this re-
markable work-the genuine history of
real Mormon woman. Two years ago
the Author published little phamphlet
on Polygamy, which attracted consider
able attention, and created quite SEN
sation among the Saints The Mormon
papers took up the subject, and abiding
derisively to the delicate reticence, so
natural to sensitive woman, displayed
by the Author spitefully invited her to
Tell it All" Men and women of po-
sition, in all parts of the country, who
had visited her in Salt Lake City, urged
her to seize the opportunity, write
book" aud lay the whole truth before
the world Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe,
whose earnest introduction to this vol
ume is a guarantee of the delicacy, as
well "a purity of the work, personally
added her persuasions, Mrs. Stenhouse
ultimately consented, and chose for the
title of her new volume, the words of de-
rision used by her Mormon opponents :
/" Tell it All.
In this way this singular work was
introduced to the world 1t is book
utterly unlike any other work on the
subjet ever penned before And, al
though we would not spoil our readers
pleasure BY telling Mrs. Stenhours fas-
einating story secondhand, we will state
that it is just what it processes to be
