The doctrine of woman's rights and
free-love did not begin with the act ors
Of the Brooklyn drama; neither is it
the work of the last century, nor even
Of modern times. \ voice from the
furthest antiquity tells Us of women
who advocated rights as bold, and
held to doctrines Of iree-love equally
as pernicious. On these, Aristophanes,
a comic poet, who lived about $50
Yeas before the Christian era, has
left a satire that, OH account of its
resemblance to the doctrine held by
the social clique of New York, IL re-
marllable. In the EcclesiazusB he
represents crowd Of women that
clamored for equal rights with men,
and among them were the wives Of
some of the legislators Of Sparta and
Athens These having slillfuIly formed
their plan, and conspired with the
principal women of the time, arose
early one morning, and, after stealing
their husbands garments and dressing
in mens attire, they proceeded to the
legislative halls and usurped the seats
OF the proper rulers. They ut once be-
gan to make laws for the country, first
presenting bill for woman's rights.
This was advocated 10y brisk speeches,
in which were advanced the very
same arguments that are used now.
OF course it was adopted, and then
amended 10y giving them rights little
superior. The strict adhelance to
marriage rites was then brought up
and treated exactly as the advocates
of free-love in New York city do now,
The marriage bonds were swept away,
and laws passed allowing the sexes to
live together in common. The next
provision was for doing away with
property held 10y individuals, and
making all hold it in common. Mod
ern advocates have not yet reached
the last Of these, but have followed
closely all the others, and if Arlstoph
aueS represented correctly the charac-

son, thinking he would play Enoch
Arden, last month went back to She
boygan, Wis, where he had left his
wife 23 years ago, and went to nosing
about trying TO find her out. OF
course he found his gentle Annie,
who of course was married to some-
body else and was the mother Of
grown up children by her latest hus-
band. And this latest husband hap
pened to be in when johnson came
to see his Annie from whom he had
been separated for nearly quarter
Of a century; and when the pathetic
meeting and snuflling was at its
height between Annie and Enoch,
husband No. 2 quietly but majestic
ally arose, mildly but firmly separat-
cd the lachrymose twain, and ener-
getically booted the long lost but
now found johnson into the street
and warned him to light out from
those parts or copper-bottom him
self as u protection against future
trouble of tho same sort. The sad
hearted Enoch departed from that
house, had a good Christmas spree
with his old chums OF former days
and then returned to his California
home, a wiser if not a poorer man.
